==Around New York
Rain was pouring like mad, and there was a fierce wind which made Cassie's board start to wobble. Luckily, in a way, the lightning was gone, which meant that there was no more danger of electrocution, but it also made it harder to see, so Cassie was trying very hard to squint her eyes and see. She neared Central Park, which was where creatures usually went when in distress, and then felt her board give away, and die out.
Cassie started falling at top speed, without any way to stop. Her board by default converted into her trusty stick, and was staked to the ground. Cassie herself fell on her left side, and bruised her arm a bit. On the bright side, it seemed that her bones were intact, and Cassie got up, and went to grab her stick and go home.
Her stick was stuck in the mud, and Cassie audibly cursed, why did she need to have more problems? Suddenly she heard some raspy chuckling.
"Well then lookie what we've got here, you know it ain't such a good idea to be out in the rain, and alone! Didn't ya ever learn basic survival instincts?" Two Huntsclan members were smirking under their masks, their staffs fully functional and pointed towards her. The first one who had spoken was advancing, trying to find an opening.
"Because I'm the exception to the rule?" Cassie was in no means to fight. The fall made her tired, and she had to get home before the storm got worse.
"Well, let us help you conform." The second man chuckled as he started attacking her.
Cassie tried to dodge the staffs, but was no match to two against one. She stopped and held the one on her right with her hands, and the one on her left with her left foot. The mud and their strain made her slip, and as her foot dropped, the left staff struck her in the left side of her chest, making a nasty cut and drawing out lots of blood. As Cassie fell into the mud, a third man came out.
"I think that was enough. Sweet dreams." The man snickered as he stunned her.
"Quick, let's get her into the van." The second man ordered as they got into the Huntscar.
The two men put her in the back of the van while the third man went to the front to drive. The vehicle started and they left, taking Cassie as their prisoner.
==En route
"Check to make sure that she's got no tracker or nothing." The driver called back.
One of the men took out a metal detector and passed it over the girl's body. He reached the girl's left wrist and the device started beeping like mad. He put down the device and picked up her arm. "It's a bracelet. It looks like it was made out of string. Stupid device."
"Take it off anyway. It could be a trick." The second man growled, taking out a switchblade. They cut off the bracelet, the bracelet that Cassie had cherished as the last remaining link to her parents, specifically, her mother.
"Let's take a look at her face, see if she's anyone famous." The first man grinned stupidly. They removed the girl's mask, and saw that it was no one special. "Man, that's so boring, she's no one of interest."
==Huntress' Office 1 hour later
"Where have you been? You look like crap." Haley flinched at Rose's grim expression.
"Cassie's missing." Rose groaned. "She went off. It was the same thing that happened with Bridge. She left, promised she would come back, and she won't answer anything, and Vi found her staff in the middle of Central Park, covered in mud, and not functioning."
Haley brought her hand to massage her temple. "Look I've got dungeon duty, but I'll go help later ok?"
"Yeah, I need to go change. I'll be more effective in work clothes. Plus, we're waiting for the rain to clear up. So no hurry. You know what, I'll go join you on duty" Rose sighed, taking the secret elevator to her room as Haley put on her mask and once Rose returned, they made her way down. They were pissed, and anyone that dared to defy them, oh they would get hell.
==Huntsclan Dungeons
Cassie groaned as she woke up. She felt pain in various places, but most was from her left side, where she had an enormous amount of blood that had come out, and stayed as dried up gunk. She was grateful she still had her mask on and her costume was still relatively intact. She saw that she also had her wrists shackled to the wall. She tried to see if they would give, but they seemed to be pretty sturdy.
"Well, looky who decided to wake up. " One of the men from earlier snickered from the doorway.
Cassie just growled as she tried to get up and attack her capturers. But it was all in vain, and he noticed it.
"Oh, don't worry your pretty little head, the Enforcer's gonna be coming soon, and you'll learn the meaning of fear." He smirked.
Someone knocked on the door. "We're here."
"'Bout time!" The first man growled.
Cassie squinted at the light that spilt in, and the other two men that had attacked her stepped in, along with another man who was probably the Enforcer as the buffoon had called him.
"Alright, where's the order?" Enforcer asked after glancing at her.
"Order?" The first idiot questioned.
"Listen to me. Either you get Huntress here to give me the ok, or you get me a written statement. I won't be the idiot that gets their ass handed to them because they disobeyed orders." Enforcer growled.
"Listen here chump. We captured this here girl, the enemy, so screw the rules and give her hell. Look I'll even start." The second man complained, and made his way to where Cassie couldn't even continue to hold herself up. She had lost too much blood, and it definitely didn't help that they were talking about her imminent death.
The man picked her up by the scruff of her neck, and slapped her. "See, no orders."
"Quite true, no orders, but I'll certainly keep that in mind once you're begging for mercy." A cold voice spoke from the doorway.
The temperature of the room dropped as everyone in the vicinity paled. Cassie wanted nothing than to get the hell out of there, but it seemed that she would be getting the crap beaten out of her. Huntress and Huntsgirl were both there, and if their eyes said anything, they were very pissed.
"Drop her. Now." Huntress ordered.
The idiot smirked. "Gladly." And dropped her, where Cassie groaned as she made contact with the ground.
There was a sharp intake of breath. 'You just signed your death warrant. Enforcer, take these 3 buffoons and give them your worst."
"Yes ma'am." The Enforcer smirked. The 3 men were then shocked before they could do anything else, and they all dropped to the ground.
As the enforcer left with one of the idiots, Huntress and Huntsgirl exchanged some words. Huntsgirl nodded and left. Huntress advanced, drawing out a glinting knife.
Cassie didn't even have enough courage to do anything, and promptly fainted from exhaustion.
Yeah, I really put Cassie through her paces here didn't I? And Huntress isn't in such a good light in the last part :/
I guess that's all from me! So please, leave your review, no account needed, and let me know what YOU think happened to Bridge, and your theory might just be right!
Now, I'm going to sleep, and wonder how many people want to meet me in real life so they can strangle me :/ So yeah!
I'll be updating sometime on Sunday so look for that! It'll probably be around the afternoon, say 5'ish, and if you guys want to be super specific 5 pm EST. I'll try to have it then unless something impedes me :/
Hope to hear from you guys! :D I can hope, I can hope :)
