Ch 14 Capture

Lestat watched in fascination as Fred knocked Ned to her knees. He hoped Fred would finally get her revenge and they could go back to France and live a quiet life without an unruly mob trying to kill them everywhere they went, something that had become common since he had met up with Fred.

"Tell me where is Bob? I can make this so much harder for you if I want to so just save yourself the pain and tell me where she is."

"I don't know. She got married and I never saw her again."

"Where are all her things?"

"She came back once to fetch them and that was it."

Fred looked closely at Ned. "You're lying to me." She said simply. Ned shook her head furiously trying to persuade Fred that she was telling the truth. "Fine. If you won't tell me then perhaps you will tell my sword." She drew her sword and held it to Ned's throat. "I know you, you don't want to die. Where is Bob?"

"You won't do it. I know you Fred."

"I'm not the person you used to know, I'm very different, in fact I'm not even a person any more." Fred said with nothing but hatred in her voice. "Now, stop stalling and tell me where Bob is. I didn't come here to hurt you and you can make this much easier for yourself if you tell me where she is"

Ned said nothing; Fred was beginning to lose her patience. "Fine." She said as she grabbed hold of Ned's arm and with a knife she had been carrying under her cloak she stabbed Ned in the arm. A scream of pain came from Ned who was now cradling her arm and trying to stop the blood pouring out of the wound although it did no good.

"Now tell me where she is or I'll do the other one." Fred threatened.

"There's a big house on the hill, she lives there with her husband and children. Please don't hurt her, what happened was a long time ago and it wasn't her fault."

"Who said anything about hurting her?" Ned relaxed a little. "I just want to kill her." Fred smiled as she kicked Ned to the floor and walked out the door to Lestat who had been quietly watching the whole thing.

"Are you not going to kill her?" He asked looking at the body lying on the floor.

"No."

"But she's human you should kill her."

"All that matters is Bob that's why we're here Ned's not important." Fred turned to leave. When Lestat didn't follow she turned round and said "Fine, you can come back and kill her later after I have Bob. Let's go."

Lestat nodded although he wanted to kill Ned who was almost unconscious from blood loss, or so it seemed.

When Lestat and Fred were out of sight she threw the old clothes she was wearing of to reveal a vest of armour that also went around her arm, Fred had done just what she had predicted. She hadn't been expecting her not to kill her but that was a bonus as far as Ned was concerned.

Ned had actually been a vampire hunter ever since Fred had been taken and she always knew this day would come but now that it was here she wasn't sure whether she could kill her friend, after all the person she used to know had spared her life something a real killer wouldn't do.

Lestat and Fred raced up the hill to where they now knew Bob's house was. Fred just wanted to get there and get Bob. She intended on taking her back to the castle that way she could really get her revenge.

The castle was the perfect place Lestat had taken many people there to be tortured but that wasn't what Fred had planned for Bob she wanted the traitor to know what she had become and what she had been able to do about everything. In her opinion the whole thing had worked out alright she was going to convince Bob that and then kill her.

They eventually reached the house Ned had mentioned. It was certainly bigger than Fred had expected; Bob was rich, very rich. Not that that mattered at all. She had married a rich man and that was it, it didn't change anything. Fred was still going to kill the person that betrayed her.

She crept up to the window and saw Bob sat there in her expensive gown and diamonds with two children, a boy and a girl, sat by the fire playing some kind of game. Fred was going to enjoy this, finally it was time for revenge. She walked up to the door with Lestat behind her and knocked lightly so as not to startle the people inside.

Afetr a while the door opened and Bob appeared although she saw nothing. Fred and Lestat had disappeared into the shadows so they weren't instantly recognised.

"Yes, is anyone there?" Bob asked sweetly peering into the darkness.

"Come outside I have something to show you." Fred said trying to disguise her voice through her cloak. "Come my child. I will not harm you."

Bob looked suspisciously for a second and then stepped outside and came face to face with the person she had been dreading seeing for the past twenty years. Fred came jumping out of the shadows and instantly knocked Bob out whilst Lestat caught her before she could fall. The action was silent and the children continued playing by the fire as though nothing had happened. Little did they know that their mother had just been sentenced to death.

Fred smiled. She had got what she came for. Her revenge. It was only a matter of time now.

"Come on. Let's get back to the castle before sunrise." Lestat nodded and they headed back to the castle. After a while they heard distant screams of children. Bob's children. It was the most satisfying sound she had heard in a long time.
