Chapter 10- Captured

"Good morning," Alec yawned.

Magnus opened his eyes to discover Alec lying close to him with his hair in more of a mess than usual. He then turned his head to the left wall to see that it said 12:30.

"Good afternoon," he smiled while trying to get his voice back to normal.

He and Alec had sat through the Lord of the Rings without falling asleep, which was a first for Magnus, and once it had gotten to the credits, Alec had turned off the TV and went to sleep. At least he had finally watched it.

"Last night was…" Alec struggled to find the words,

"Hot, passionate and amazing," Magnus spoke the first words that came to him,

"Exactly."

Magnus ran his fingers down Alec's cheek before rolling onto his back and looking up at the ceiling with a smile. This was how he wanted to wake up every day, he wanted Alec to be the first thing he saw in the morning and the last thing he saw in the evening. No one had ever made his heart flutter as much as Alec did, no one had put as big a smile on his face as Alec did and he realized that the reason for that was simply because they weren't Alec. No one could compare to him. No one and nothing could make him stop loving him.

Silver was woken up in the morning by a knock on the door. She looked at her clock and saw it was one o'clock in the afternoon, but she had slept for longer. The knocking started to get louder and faster as she put her robe around her before making her way to the door.

"Yes?" Silver opened the door to see Stewart- the James' middle child.

He was immensely tall for a sixteen year old, Silver had to look up slightly when speaking to him, but he was easy to get along with, unlike his elder sister.

"We've made lunch," Stewart smiled,

"What have you made exactly?"

"Pesto pasta with salad,"

"I'll be down in like fifteen minutes."

Silver went to her wardrobe and took out the first things she could find which were grey tracksuit bottoms, a black t-shirt and a multi-coloured cardigan. She threw the clothes on the bed and turned to see Stewart still standing by the door.

"Was there something else?" she asked,

"I want to go see The Conjuring, but no one wants to go with me," Stewart looked down,

Despite the desperate attempt for sympathy that he made which made Silver like him less, she nodded, "I'll see it with you,"

"Cool! It starts at seven, so we should leave at around half an hour before," Stewart smiled and skipped down the hallway.

By the time Silver got to the kitchen, there was only Magnus and Alec sitting around the table, both of them showcasing sex-hair and loading pasta onto their plates. Silver sat opposite them and put her phone on the table.

"How was your night?" Silver asked as she scooped some pasta onto her plate,

"Plain," Magnus said with the straightest of faces,

"Liar. The walls were shaking because of you two and I had to put my headphone volume to the max,"

"We're not sorry," Magnus giggled like a school boy.

While easting, Silver kept checking her phone at least every three minutes and each time, she found that Nathaniel hadn't called or text her. This was worrying her. He'd usually message her to say good morning and after their last phone call, she was expecting a message telling her that everything was okay. Even her entertaining conversation with Alec and Magnus didn't sooth her mind and during training, she found that her aim was a little off as her mind was focussing on all the terrible things that could've happened to Nathaniel more than the target she needed to hit.

It eventually got to five o'clock and there was no word from Nathaniel. Silver lay on her bed, fiddling around with her stele when her phone buzzed.

"Finally!" she sighed as she read Nathaniel's text.

Come to my flat as soon as possible, I need you and I miss you

No kisses, Silver thought before getting off of her bed, putting her shoes on and making her way to Nathaniel's flat. There was a smile on her face that just wouldn't budge as she got to Nathaniel's front door and found that it was already open. Something felt weird. First no kisses at the end of his message and then he leaves his door slightly open for her, which she knew he wouldn't even dare think about doing. But her mind had been spending so much time thinking about all the bad possibilities that it made sense that she was still doubting everything. She walked into the flat to see an empty living room and an empty kitchen. The windows were still boarded up, even though Nathaniel tended to take them down so he could admire the night sky from inside.

She called his name.

No answer.

She tried again and the only thing that replied was silence.

Slowly, she walked towards his open bedroom door, hoping that he may be in his room listening to music like he sometimes did. She gradually pushed the door. Nathaniel wasn't there. Eleanor Thana was. And she wasn't alone. She was accompanied by six male vampire slaves and they all had hatred in their eyes.

"Where's Nathaniel?" Silver began to walk backwards,

"He has been sent to help some young vampires, unfortunately, he left his phone," Eleanor showed her his phone before throwing it to the bed, "I know about you two and you're clouding his judgement. Thanks to you, he shows little loyalty to me and that is something that has to change."

Silver put her hands in her trouser pockets to feel two dagger handles as she backed into the living room. Eleanor looked at her like she was going to be her next meal and she was weak. Instead of going in for the kill herself, Eleanor clicked her fingers and the six vampires came rushing towards Silver.

She grabbed her daggers out of her pockets and pushed a button on the handles which triggered the blades to grow. She instantly stabbed the first vampire that came towards her through the chest and then began fending off the others. Some of them came prepared with their own daggers which made dispatching the vampires even harder. Her blades clashed with the daggers of two of the vampires, she kicked back at one vampire, sending him into the window and then quickly slashed one vampire's stomach. But, she wasn't paying enough attention. A vampire kicked her in the stomach and then kicked her daggers out of her hands. They then grabbed her arms, pinned them behind her back and started punching her. She just about had enough strength to kick one vampire where it seriously hurt and swing her foot in the head of another. However, the vampires were much stronger than her and they only stopped punching her when Eleanor strolled towards her.

"I wonder what Nathaniel would do to ensure your safety," she cracked her knuckles and chuckled, "and I can't wait to find out," she grinned before swinging her fist at Silver's face and knocking her out cold.
