Chapter Ten:

Nightmares

It was dark.

All I could see was black.

My hands were tied behind my back, something stuffed into my mouth and a blindfold over my eyes. I was lying on something cold and hard, like concrete as I heard voices.

"It's only a matter of time before he realises she's gone. What do we do then?" a male voice questioned, a hint of anxiety in his tone.

"Nothing that I won't want him to do," another male voice answered. "With his precious daughter in my hands, he'll have to allow it"

I moved slightly, feeling my body ache with bruises and pain. The voices stopped as my heart pounded and I squeezed my eyes shut.

"Is the little bird awake?" a voice murmured. I stayed perfectly still but it wasn't enough. Suddenly, I was forced to sit up as the blindfold was removed and I came face to face with a guy my age, who had raven black hair and ice blue eyes. I knew who it was straight away.

James Starcaster of Starlight Corp.

He smirked when he saw the realisation in my eyes and he gently ran his finger across my cheek, slowly while I flinched.

"You know who I am," he stated and I nodded, fear clearly in my eyes. "Then you know what I want"

This time I shook my head.

His eyes darkened at my answer and something sharp was jabbed into my left arm. My vision blurred before I was consumed by darkness again.

Something warm was underneath my back as I sat up, my fingers running across the silk blankets and I realised I was on a bed. There were footsteps coming towards me and I looked up, seeing a girl with long blonde hair and green eyes smirking at me.

"We got captured," she stated. "Just like old times, huh?"

I frowned. "You're Diana" I said and she nodded, coming over and sitting on the bed, right next to me.

"You know why we're here right?" she asked and I shook my head. She frowned, biting her bottom lip before standing back up. "Then I guess I'll have to do the job"

"Where are you going?" I asked her and she glanced over her shoulder.

"To deal with this," she answered. "Besides, I need you to be occupied. I can't let you witness any of this again"

I opened my mouth to say something when something warm hugged me from behind. I turned and saw Nathaniel with a concerned look on his face, his warm arms wrapped around me and my back closer to his chest.

"Stay here" Diana instructed, before disappearing into thin air.

One great thing about having three people who know how to fight on your side: They can practically beat the shit out of anyone.

Sebastian, Castiel and Chyna's other older brother Tony led the group through the old warehouse district. Warehouses were lined up, all spread out in dozens of pairs.

"We're never going to find her" Rosalya cried out in despair while looked like she was holding back on her tears. Nathaniel knew how they felt, it was breaking his heart.

Why did this happen? Nathaniel asked himself. It was only moments before that his lips brushed not her lips, but her cheek which was close enough for him. Everything was perfect, he was even about to tell her his feelings.

But now they had to save her.

Tony turned to them, his short blue hair following him a bit. His green eyes were full of deadly emotions, one of them a murderous intent.

"We'll split up into groups and search each of the warehouses," Tony instructed. "Castiel and Rosalya, Kim and Armin, Alexy and Sebastian"

Nathaniel looked at Tony who was looking back at him. A look was shared, one that said we'll find her.

Everyone started to head off, picking a warehouse each as Tony handed them walkie talkies.

"Come on Blondie, we need to get moving" Tony told him and Nathaniel followed, both keeping silent as possible as they moved throughout the warehouse, searching for any sign of Chyna.

"We've got nothing" Castiel's voice informed them on the walkie talkie.

"Same here" Sebastian added.

"This place is empty, no sign of her or anyone else for that matter" Kim muttered and Tony sighed, pressing the button on the side and placed it close to his mouth.

"Keep checking, she's here" Tony told them and Sebastian's voice came through the device again.

"You think it was him?" he asked and a dark look passed Tony's face, one that sent fear down Nathaniel's spine.

"No doubt that bastard's got her" Tony answered before turning to Nathaniel, studying him closely. "You mean something to my lil' sister"

Nathaniel blushed a bit. "More like she means something to me"

Tony nodded in satisfaction. "Then be the knight in shining armour"

Nathaniel couldn't say anything else as they checked another warehouse. Just as they approached it, there were voices inside. Tony placed his finger on his lips, signalling Nathaniel to be quiet. Nathaniel nodded; getting the message as Tony opened the door slightly, taking a peek.

"You're not going to benefit from this," Chyna's voice stated, but it was different. It was no longer held warmth, but a cold, calculating voice.

"You don't get it do you? I have all the cards" a deep voice sneered and Tony's knuckles began to turn white as he clenched his fist.

"True, I'll give you that. But it only takes one gust of wind to make the house of cards fall" Chyna replied and there was a gun shot heard.

Tony sprang in, holding out a gun as a raven haired guy's arm was in the air, a hole in the roof.

"Put the gun down!" Tony shouted, forcing the guy to turn around. His ice blue eyes widened in shock before turning into anger. He grabbed Chyna and placed her in front of him, the gun held against her head.

Nathaniel looked at Chyna straight away, not seeing the fear he expected, but calm.

She was watching Nathaniel too, her brown eyes staring into his golden ones.

"Don't you make another move Leo!" he shouted, pressing the gun harder against her head, causing Chyna to wince. "I swear to god I'll blow this bullet straight into her head!"

"Go ahead," Chyna stated in a deadpanned tone. We all looked at her in shock while she continued to be calm, it was…unnerving.

"I-I swear I will!" he declared and Tony pointed his gun higher.

"You don't have to do this, you can let her go" Tony told him in a calm, serious tone. There were footsteps behind us and Sebastian appeared by Nathaniel's side.

"Tony," Sebastian warned.

"I know…didn't think we'd have to see you for a while, huh Diana?" Tony asked and Chyna smiled, shrugging her shoulders.

"Neither did I" she admitted.

"Where's Chyna?" Nathaniel asked, concerned and worried. His heart was pounding a million miles per minute at the thought of her in danger.

"Distracted by you," she answered, a smirk on her face before turning serious. "I didn't want her to go through this again"

Rosalya frowned in confusion. "Aren't you Chyna?" she asked and Chyna sighed, looking at Sebastian for help.

"It's over James, the whole building is surrounded," Sebastian lied smoothly. "Just drop the gun, and you'll be let off easily"

James's hand shook and he pulled the gun away but then shoved it back on Chyna's head, finger pulling the trigger.

There was a gun shot, followed by gasps.

Nathaniel held the gun out as James collapsed onto the ground, clutching his leg as blood gushed out of his thigh. Everyone stared at him in shock and he had to admit, he never thought he could do something like this.

It was all for Chyna he told himself, dropping the gun as Tony tied James up with some rope. Nathaniel went over to Chyna immediately, pulling her close to his chest while Sebastian untied her.

"She was right, you do smell nice" Chyna grinned. An acidic feeling burned at the back of Nathaniel's throat. This wasn't Chyna, this wasn't his Chyna.

Nathaniel gently helped her up while Tony studied over her, looking for any signs of injury.

"Just a mild bump in the head," Tony said, crossing his arms overs his chest and studying her with a grin. "She's gonna have one hell of a headache later"

Sebastian narrowed his eyes at the eldest Leo. "You don't see the problem here? Chyna was kidnapped! Again!"

"I think she handled it well," Chyna interrupted. "All things considered, the guy was going to rape me for all we know"

Nathaniel stared at her, jaw dropped. Never in his mind would he ever thought he'd see the day when the word 'rape' would come from Chyna. Chyna noticed this and smirked at him before turning back to her brothers.

"Go on ahead, I think there's something I need to say to Blondie" she gestured her head in Nathaniel's direction. Both of the boys frowned before walking off. When it was just the two of them, the smirk left her face, followed by a tired sigh. "I'm not Chyna"

"I gathered that," Nathaniel said dryly. "Who are you then?"

"Diana," she answered, looking away with her arms crossed over her chest, a small breeze blowing through the opened door and tangling in her hair softly.

"Back when Chyna first got kidnapped, it scarred her deeply. So deeply that she retreated to the far corners of her mind," she said and looked at him. "I'm more like the person she wishes to be. Whenever she was kidnapped in the past or something traumatic occurred, I was brought out"

Nathaniel nodded, understanding the situation. "You haven't been out in a while have you?" he guessed and she smiled at him, a small one.

"There hasn't been a need to"

"So…where is she?" he asked, worried about the thought of never seeing her again.

"Calm down, she's fine," she reassured him with an amused look. "I just wanted to tell you something before disappearing"

Nathaniel raised an eyebrow in questioning. "What is it?"

She stepped forward and lightly planted her lips against his cheek, sending his heart racing, his cheeks slightly pink and a shiver down his spine. She stepped back and smirked at his reaction.

"She feels the same you know, but you might want to make it clear to her your feelings too. Look after her for me" she told him before closing her eyes and her body slumped forward. Nathaniel caught her easily and lifted her into his arms, bridal style.

Her scent of cinnamon, mango, lavender and vanilla filled his nose, settling his heart a bit as he carried her out of the warehouse district and towards the car. No one questioned why he was carrying her, and that was the way it should've been.

Well...damn. Shit went down :P

Any way, the competition is still running but I realised since most of you have PMed your answers or don't have tumblr, just send in your songs through PM on Fan Fiction. Remember to pick a song that you think best represents the following characters:

Adrianne Archer

Castiel Jones

Chyna Leo

Nathaniel Robinson

And send in your reason why. Winner and Runner-up will get a special one-shot of their Candies with the guy of their choosing, settings ect.

If you're still confused on what to do, here's an example of my own:

Adrianne Archer - Did You? By Kelly Clarkson.

The reason I believe this song best represents Adrianne regarding her complicated relationship with Castiel at the end of 'My Little Rebel'. It's a song about heartbreak and she was pretty heartbroken when he walked away, choosing Debrah over her.

So like that, hopefully it helps. At least three-two weeks is when the competition will run. I'm thinking about announcing the winners in the Prologue or Chapter One of 'My Little Rebel: Ready Or Not' so be excited and PARTICIPATE!
