Chapter 12

Lauren

They had been driving roughly 45 minutes and Lauren was prepared a sure fire plan. She swiftly and silently managed to loosen the duct tape so that it fell off her hands. All she had to do now was aim a very tiny plasma ball at the zip ties holding her wrists together. She was wary at the thought. She knew her aim was horrible after what happened at the Dal, but she had to try. She counted to three in her head before she released the energy; thankfully it hit the zip tie right where she wanted it to. If it would've hit a centimeter higher or lower she would've screamed in pain. She didn't make a move right away; she sat and listened for a moment. She heard two distinct voices, a male and a female. She carefully moved her foot to feel for anyone around her. When she was satisfied that there was no one in the back with her, she moved her arms to pull the bag off her head. The two people up in the front were idly chatting about movies and not paying any attention to the escape artist in the back. She had never been this angry before. Lauren looked around for some type of weapon but there was absolutely nothing in the back of the van. She would have to do this the old fashioned way. She never condoned any type of violence but these people attacked her, so this is merely self-defense. She thought about just jumping out the back, but they were driving way too fast, she would get seriously injured if she jumped. There was a metal grate with a door between her and the cab of the truck. A quick blast of plasma would get rid of that real fast. The plasma ball in her hands grew bigger and bigger, there is no way she would miss her target. The female passenger happened to look in the back of the van just as the sparking ball of hot plasma was flying at them. She didn't even have the chance to warn her partner in the driver's seat. It burned right through the metal grate and shattered the windshield. He slammed on the breaks, still in shock. Lauren was already making another plasma ball and flung it at the ladies gun. It burned straight through the handle of gun and caused third degree burns on her hand. As the gun fell it went off and struck her partner in his neck. He was losing blood quickly. Lauren saw a chance to escape; she unlatched the double doors and jumped out to make a run for it. The female kidnapper grabbed the dying man's pistol and fired off three shots at the fleeing doctor. One bullet sliced through Lauren's shoulder but she kept running until she was out of sight. Thankfully the bullet went through and through; she sent her healing water up her arm and into the wound. It was able to clean the wound and stop the bleeding, but not even her healing abilities could close that type of wound. She looked around the area for a minute, trying to figure out where she was. They had been driving down a road in the middle of nowhere and now Lauren was lost in the woods. She finally found a rock that had moss growing on one side. That helped her determine she was going north, the exact way she had wanted to go. She was bound to run into civilization soon. She finally came upon a road; she didn't see any cars, so she had to decide if she was going to go left or right. After finally making up her mind she started going left. After a little more walking she found herself a crossroads then an old but still running inn. She went in to find out where she was and to call for help.

"Hi, how can I help you today?" The desk clerk eyed the blonde suspiciously looking at her bloody shoulder.

"Yes, hello, could you possibly tell me where I am?"

"You ma'am are at the Albion Inn, right outside of the Albion Hills Conservation Area. Are you okay?"

"Yes sorry, I got lost in the woods, would it be possible to use your phone, I need to call my friends to come get me."

"Sure, here." The clerk handed her the phone and turned back to her computer.

"Hello?"

"Tamsin? Hey where's Bo?"

"Better question is where are you Lauren? You have got Bo all worried cause you never showed up and weren't answering your phone. Dyson went to check your hotel room and smelled strange Fae. She is ready to beat up every Fae in town to find you."

"Tamsin, I was Fae-napped."

Bo

Everyone arrived at the Dal a little early, minus Kenzi and Lauren. From what Hale told her, Bruce and Kenzi went to run "errands" hours ago, but hasn't answered her phone since. This made Bo worried. Since it was still 4:30, she decided not to freak out about her missing bestie just yet.

"Tamsin, I'm getting worried what if something happened to them?"

Just then Kenzi sent Bo a text, Hey BoBo, I'll be back in about an hour, just one more thing we have to finish.

"Well Kenzi is okay, she just texted me. But why isn't Lauren answering?"

"You want wolf boy to go to her hotel and see what's up?"

"That would make me feel better."

Dyson knocked on the door to Lauren's hotel room. No answer, he began to smell a strange scent, it was Fae, but not Chloe or Lauren's scent. He used the card key he got from the front desk when he flashed his badge. There were obvious signs of a struggle in the room and Lauren's phone was lying in the middle of the mess. "Damn it!" He quickly dialed Tamsin's number."

"Partner, we got a problem. From the looks and smells of it, some Fae were here and took Lauren. I tracked their scent to the alley behind the hotel; from there they must've gotten in a vehicle because the scent disappeared."

"Shit, what am I going to tell everyone's favorite Succubus?"

"Tell her the truth and that we are going to find her."
