Everything that I Never Had

Chapter 4

…Rage…

*~*

            Butler smashed the chair free of Aurora – literally. Then proceeded to sling her over his broad shoulder. Her wrists and ankles were still tightly bound together by the sharp rope. If the situation had not been so serious, Aurora would have found it amusing that she was beating on this huge man with all her might knowing the fact that he could snap her neck with a snap of his fingers. She squirmed frantically and screamed as loud as she could. She really was wasting her energy. Fighting the 6'10" beastly man was a fruitless effort. The jerkiness of his steps stopped abruptly. Butler used his free hand to reach into the depths of his starch black suit. He pulled out a sharp, shining knife. A look of complete and total fear haunted Aurora's eyes. Butler poised the knife at Aurora's wrists. She feared what was coming next, but refused to show her fear by looking away. The knife glinted in the chandeliers light at is came closer to her fragile skin. Aurora watched as the knife slid under the ropes binding her, but when the sharp sting of metal ripping her skin did not come she became confused. The ropes on her wrist slid to the ground. But they had left their mark, red irritated spots. Some places cut and bleeding slightly. The man reached down and repeated the process with her ankles. Butler made sure to grip her with both hands now that she has free movement. Large double doors loomed in front of them, and he kicked them open with a single tap of his Sasquatch sized foot. In a swift movement he had tossed Aurora into the room. She landed on the cold, hard marble floor. The doors were quickly shut once again. Aurora sat on the cold floor dazed. The force of her landing had jarred her head around and jumbled her mind around. A voice boomed through the room, bouncing off the walls and echoing from corner to corner.

            "There are a few things you should know."

            Aurora stood to listen. Maybe she could determine where the voice was coming from. She cautiously glanced around the spacious room, on her guard.

            "You are my prisoner now, and I will detain you here as long as I see fit. Being uncooperative and headstrong will only extend your stay here. Which to be perfectly honest, neither of us want that to happen. I may also add that there are many, many hidden cameras in this room. All watching you. Twenty-four hours a day, nonstop. Get used to it. There are no cameras in the bathroom; there are also no windows in the bathroom. Thus your chance of escape is not likely. Because of these cameras I may suggest that you change your clothes behind the changing screen in your room. I will be speaking with you tomorrow, but just remember, I can see you. So don't try anything peculiar." The voice laughed a cruel laugh laced with mockery and an air of superiority. Then it was gone.

            Aurora's expression remained as hard as stone. In a single moment she lost her cool and slammed a beautiful antique vase against the huge picture window. The vase shattered into thousands of tiny sparkly shards, the window remained in on e piece. An amused laugh filled the room followed by a simple statement, "Plexiglas."

Aurora seethed with anger.

*~*

            Back in the hotel room, Kimmy was just rising from a peaceful slumber. She toddled out into the spacious kitchen, and sat down at the table with her bowl of Cocoa Puffs. 'Aurora must still be sleeping.' She thought between bites of cereal. After she finished she stood up from the table and made her way down the long hallway to Aurora's room. The door was shut.

            "Aurora it's time to get up." Kimmy called through the door. There wasn't a single sound heard through the door. Kimmy sighed, "looks like I'll have to fight her to get her up."

            She opened the door and walked in. Aurora wasn't lying in her bed. Thinking that she may be in the bathroom she opened the door. No one was in there. Becoming frantic, she rushed over to the walk in closet and flung the doors open. She hurried back into the main part of the room. It was then she noticed something she had neglected to see before. Aurora's bed was made. Not a wrinkle in the fabric, not a crease in the pillows. Aurora hated to make the bed, and even if she had attempted it would not have looked as good as it did. Aurora had never been back. Kimmy began to freak out. She dove under Aurora's bed and searched for her laptop. She found it in a dark blue bag. With shaky hands she plugged it in and began to load AOL. The phone rang loud and sharp from somewhere in Aurora's room. Kimmy jumped sky high at the sound. Hastily she searched for Aurora's cell phone. She found it under a pile of books.

            "Hello?" She asked shakily.

            "Kimmy?" Aurora's father's voice came from the other end. "Kimmy is that you? Where's Aurora? I need to speak to her."

            "She's not here. I – I don't know where she is, sir! She stayed behind last night to finish breaking into the Fowl Mansion, and she never came back!" Kimmy cried.

            "Well, I wouldn't worry about it, Kimmy. Aurora is a tough girl, and she can keep herself out of trouble. I wouldn't worry about it. When she gets back, have her call me. Until then, stay in the hotel. I don't need you to go out looking for her and have her come home while you're gone. So stay in the hotel. I'm sure she'll be back shortly." Aurora's father hung up, and Kimmy was all alone again.

            Sighing dejectedly, Kimmy slumped into a cushy arm chair wishing that Aurora were there to tell her a corny joke and make her laugh. But she wasn't.

*~*

            Back at the Fowl Mansion, Artemis surveyed Aurora through the hidden cameras. It was morning now and she had fallen asleep on the hard marble floor. Artemis had to admit she was beautiful. But he would never want a girl like her. She had too much of a strong will. Artemis wanted a girl who would be passive and submissive. Not strong willed and stubborn. Although she was beautiful, she just wasn't his type. The door creaked and Butler entered the room.

            "She won't last long. She's cracking under the pressure already. It's obvious that she was not made to be imprisoned inside stone walls. We'll have the information we desire very, very soon." Artemis stated.

            "Hmmm. I'm not so sure about that, sir." Butler sounded doubtful.

            Artemis swung around in his leather chair. His eyes narrowed, "do you doubt me?"

             "Well, sir," Butler began a bit nervously. "Whilst I was in training I also studied human behavior. And from what I remember it is very hard to tame a wild beast. If you catch my drift. True, she may crack under the pressure, but she also may not. Especially from the information I have gathered on her."

            "Well then, let's see it." Butler handed Artemis the information he had gathered.

            "Her name is Aurora Angel. She is the leader of an elite group that heads Area 51 known as the Diosa's." Butler paused there.

            Artemis smirked, "goddesses."

            "I'm sorry, sir?" Butler asked, confused.

            "Oh, Diosa is Spanish for Goddess." Artemis said.

            "Well, apparently her parents are the head honcho's of Area 51, and Aurora has been doing secret spy work since she was 12. She is now 16. She is very intelligent. She managed to receive a PhD in only 6 ½ years. She speaks 11 different languages. The list goes on and on of her accomplishments, and other things. It's all there in the packet I gave you. She is also half witch, half sprite. Her father is full sprite, and he mother is full witch. But I'm just saying that because of what I read about her she may be hard to break." Butler finished.

            Artemis looked thoughtful, "hmmmmm. We shall see." He turned back to the monitor to watch Aurora. She was awake by now.

*~*

            Aurora rolled over. 'Hmmmmm what a horrible dream.' She sat up and rolled her head around her shoulders. 'I have the worst neck ache. Why is my bed so cold… and hard?' With a start Aurora bolted up. She was still in the Fowl Mansion, in the same room, lying on the same cold Italian marble floor. A loud banging echoed throughout the room.

            "Breakfast is being served in the sunroom right now." A bossy female voice said through the door.

            Aurora ignored her, and after a few minutes thought she had gone away. She was wrong.

            "Breakfast is being served NOW. The kitchen staff has been instructed not to feed you unless you eat when Artemis does. So I suggest you come down to eat now. It's not like this a Disney movie. There will be no talking candelabra or clock waiting downstairs to sing to you and feed you when you're hungry. So you might want to eat now." The bossy female voice continued.

            'God! Does she ever shut up?!' Aurora thought while the bossy voice kept chattering away. It stopped suddenly, and then Aurora heard footsteps retreating down the hall.

            She stood up slowly and teetered over to the dresser. She opened a drawer and was sincerely surprised to find clothes in there. Moreover, she was surprised that the clothes fit her, and were her style. So she went down to breakfast in a pair of jeans and a hot pink shirt. Aurora got lost on her way but managed to find where she was going by asking a maid she found dusting a portrait high on the wall. She arrived in a sunny room painted a beautiful glowing yellow. White wicker chairs surrounded a large white wicker table. A pretty blue china vase was in the center of the table and held a dozen yellow roses. The room smelled of sunshine, bacon, and just good food in general. Aurora took a seat in the chair the farthest away from Artemis. She was surprised to see that they were the only ones at the breakfast table. A cook came and placed a plate of food in front of Aurora. She stared at it skeptically, and felt eyes on her.

            Artemis watched her from the other end of the table. "There is nothing wrong with it. It's not poisoned or tampered with. I prefer to kill my victims in other ways." Artemis joked about the last part.

            Aurora did not seem amused. She picked up her fork and cautiously took a bite of her French toast. Upon finding that its taste was well to her liking, she became less suspicious. Then a thought crossed her mind. "How did you know that French toast with powdered sugar and King's syrup are my favorite breakfast food?"

            Artemis smirked. "You would be surprised at what I know about you."

            Aurora seemed somewhat less than amused.

            "So," Artemis continued. "I have a few simple things to say to you. You have information that I want. So I'll make a deal with you, as soon as you give me the information I want. I will set you free." Artemis stood up to leave, but stopped and added, "also, don't even think about escape because I will find you and bring you back." Then he left.

            "I've really done it now." Aurora said to herself.

            "Yes you have." The bossy female voice was back.

            Aurora looked up to see a tall blonde girl in her mid 20s standing in the doorway.

            "Ello, my name is Juliet Butler. I have been placed in charge of you. What I am supposed to do I'm not quite sure, but I guess I'm just supposed to show you around the mansion and keep an eye on you. Sooooooooooo if you're done breakfast I'll take you back to your room." Juliet sighed impatiently as though she had other things she would rather be doing.

            Aurora spent the rest of the day in her room, plotting an escape route. Juliet had shown her around the mansion and Aurora had taken notes in her mind of where doors and windows were. Her room was on the 5th floor, so unless Aurora wanted to jump, there was no way out. Her other problem was that they locked her in her room at night, and that with all those cameras around her room there was no way of escape without being noticed. It was while Aurora was taking her bath that she came up with a brilliant plan. There had once been a window in the bathroom, but it had been covered up with plaster. Not a lot of plaster now mind you, and Aurora was sure she could chip through the plaster and slice open the window. So she began to chip away at the plaster while she was supposedly taking her bath. She stopped briefly to wash the conditioner out of her hair. She wound a fluffy blue towel around her body and went into her main room. She went over to the dresser she had been in earlier and grabbed out a clean pair of jeans, a sunshine yellow shirt with daisies on it, and a warm jacket. Then she went back into the bathroom. She hurriedly dressed and then began chipping away at the plaster again. She had a hole chipped clear through the plaster. Aurora grabbed the razor off the side of the tub and began to slice through the glass. She made a hole big enough for her to worm her way out. She peeked her head out through the hole and looked down. It was about five o' clock in the evening, and it was about 60 feet down to the nicely groomed green lawn. 'I should go back and get the sheets to make a rope….' Aurora thought. 'Oh! But then they'll see and know something is going on. Oh well, I'll just have to use a little bit of my powers.'

            Aurora jumped out the window and as she zoomed toward the ground used her power to slow herself down. She had slowed herself down enough that she wouldn't break every bone in her body when she hit the ground. Although she did land quite hardly and suspected that she had twisted an ankle and bruised a wrist. Aurora heard someone shouting from her room.

            'SHIT!' She though.

            Ignoring the pain in her ankle she took off at full speed away from the house. She heard leaves crunching behind her. Someone was hot on her trail. In a swift movement she concentrated all her energy into the sky and burst into thousands of shimmery particles. The wind picked up and carried her high into the twilight sky. Butler stood on the ground confused beyond all belief. One moment he was right on her tail, and then she just disappeared. He looked up into the sky and saw that a part of it was shimmering in a peculiar fashion. The particles were moving towards the entrance gates. Butler hauled ass toward the gates to beat her there. But he took the shortcut so that he wouldn't be seen. He got there in just a few seconds and hid in the shadows. The sparkling dust floated to the ground and took the form of Aurora. She grinned triumphantly. Butler slinked slowly towards her as silent as possible. But Aurora's extra sensitive ears picked up on the movement. She swung around and saw Butler charging her. Aurora took off in a full speed sprint down the road. Butler dodged into the woods to cut her off. She was going to attempt to get to the main road, but he would beat her there. He saw her through the woods and cut across. Before Aurora knew what had hit her she had been tackled to the ground. She struggled fruitlessly. Butler threw her over his shoulder and jogged back to the mansion. Once there he threw Aurora onto the floor in front of Artemis who was seething with anger.

            "I warned you." He said in a controlled voice. "I warned you just to stay here, and things wouldn't be so bad. But you had to run away, try to escape. I told you I would bring you back."

            Aurora was escorted back to her room by Juliet.

            "Butler!" Artemis yelled.

            Butler appeared in the doorway, "yes?"

            "I have a plan. We're going to fake Aurora's death. I want you to go to her hotel, take her things, and then set her hotel room on fire. Make sure no one else is in there. Be back by midnight." Butler left.

*~*

            Kimmy was finally sick of waiting around. "I AM GOING TO FIND HER!" She yelled.

            She grabbed her jacket and left the hotel room. Riding down the elevator took forever because they had the penthouse suite. Once down in the luxurious lobby, Kimmy scanned the crowds of people for any sign of Aurora. She didn't see her anywhere. Getting severely worried, Kimmy exited the lobby. On her way out she ran smack into a huge burly man.

            "Terribly sorry." The man grunted and helped her up.

            Inside, Butler pulled the room key out of his pocket. It had been found in Aurora's clothes she was wearing when she was captured. He rode on the elevator up to the top floor. Once there he slipped the key into the lock and opened the door. He marched back to Aurora's room and, after making sure it was indeed her room, threw all her clothes into a large suitcase he had brought with him. He exited her room quickly, being sure to get away before anyone should come back. He went into the kitchen and pulled out cooking oil, and other cooking supplies. Then he ripped a switch plate off the wall. He ripped the wires too. This was the perfect way to make this fire look like an accident. He turned the stove on high and put the wires close to the hot stove. Then he made a hasty exit out the door. Kimmy was still outside asking people if they had seen Aurora. No one had. As Butler drove away a huge explosion rocked the building. Kimmy turned and gasped as the top part of the building exploded in a fiery cloud. Butler arrived at the mansion happy to report that he had succeeded on his mission.

*~*

            The next morning Artemis buzzed into Aurora's room in the early morning. "Turn on the TV."

            Aurora grabbed the remote and turned the TV on. It was already on the news channel. The site that greeted her eyes surprised her. The hotel she had been staying at was in shambles.

            "This all started last night at around 10:30pm. A cooking accident turned into something much, much more deadly. The penthouse suite exploded in an instant, leaving behind nothing but ash. The explosion sparked an electrical fire that spread through the hotel. Luckily, everyone was able to get out. All except one person. We remember Aurora Smith tonight who died at the age of 18. Her sister, Kimmy Smith who is only 14, is grieving terribly today. She has plans to fly out back to her home tomorrow. Unfortunately, because the explosion disintegrated everything, there will be no body to bury." The news anchor reported. Then the TV switched off.

            Aurora just sat there on the bed, stunned. The image of Kimmy sobbing hysterically entered her mind and would not go away. An intense feeling began to swell inside Aurora. Building up slowly and festering. Anger surged through her body at what had happened.

            "Let's see who will come and save you now… no one! Because poor little Aurora is," Artemis paused here. "Dead!" He laughed a cruel laugh laced with mockery and venom.

In her room, Aurora screamed.
