We were soon driving up to what seemed like a small little cottage. It was a pretty place, there was flowers growing in the front yard, and the cottage seemed to be made perfectly. I looked out the window, at the small cottage, and was wondering why he had such a small home.

"Are you thinking of something Daniel?"

"Why would I want to talk to you about it?" I said, in a rude manner.

"I was just wondering, you had that curious look on your face."

I ignored him, and continued to look out the window, thinking about what was to lie ahead for me. I wasn't sure what he was talking about, when he said he had taken something from me. When we had come to a stop, Vlad opened the doors, as though it was nothing, and like as though I wasn't going to run away.

"Wait, you don't want to go anywhere, do you? I have something for you. You can even stay out here if you want, I will bring it out here, and see If you change your mind," he said, with a wicked smile, when I tried to fly off. I stopped, and decided I might as well wait, to see what he had for me. I doubted it was anything important though. Vlad was gone for a while, then he was dragging a cage, on wheels behind him. The cage was totally black, so I could not see what was inside, and I was guessing it was just a trick.

"Come down here, to see what it is. I am sure you won't run once you find out," he said, waving an arm, telling me to come down. I didn't trust him though, because I was afraid that he was just going to catch me somehow, and I was going to turn around, but then curiosity got the better of me. I turned around, and got about 10 feet from him and the cage.

"Let me see," I told him, wanting to make sure it was something I cared about.

"Let's play a little guessing game, how does that sound?"

"Ok, then let's play, but no tricks, Ok?"

"I am not going to do any tricks, I just want to see if you can guess what I have," he laughed wickedly.

"All right, give me a hint?"

"You ask me a question about it, and I will let you know the answer."

"What is it?"

"Now Daniel, if you do that, I will open this cage right here, right now, and kill it."

"Kill it? It is living?"
"Yes, it is, there is one of your three questions gone now."

"Male, or female?"

"Female." He said, giving me a sly look.

I stopped for a minute, and thought. But then, continued, with nothing coming to my mind.

"Is it anything that I really care for?"

"Yes, you do really care for it, I have it on tape how much you care for her."

I then realized it. When sitting in the car, he was talking about the thing on the news. Then, he asked me if I had a girlfriend. He was talking about Sam. No, he couldn't be! How would he have gotten ahold of Sam? This couldn't be possible, it was a trap, it had to be! There was no possible way he had Sam, it couldn't have happened.

"One guess Daniel, and if you get it wrong, I will catch you, and kill her. Now tell me, what is in this cage?"
"Umm… I think… it is… Uhh…" I didn't know for sure, and if I was wrong, then who was he going to kill?

"Think about it hard Daniel, really hard." He told me, narrowing his eyes in on me.

"S…s….Sam?"

"What a bright child you are, it took you long enough!"

"How did you get her? Why are you bringing her in on this? We have a rivalry Vlad, but I don't want to drag Sam into it! She has nothing to do with us hating each other!"

"Oh, but Daniel, you just don't get it. When you have an enemy, they will hurt the ones you love to get your attention."

"You didn't hurt her, did you?"

"No, but I easily can."

"Why would you? How could you?"

"That is an easy answer. I would, because I can use her to make you obey me, and I could, because I don't care about people! I am not a social person Daniel! I am just trying to take over the world, and if I have you working for me, then that is more of a possibility!"

"I am never going to help you!"

"Oh, really? Well then, you might as well say bye to your little girlfriend!"

"She is not my girlfriend!"

"Really? Then why did you two end up in the news kissing, Hmm? That is how I found out Daniel, or else, I might have never known. I was watching the news since you were on it so much, and this caught my eye."

"You… You…" I didn't know what to say. He had Sam in his grasp, and he was stronger than I was. There was no way I was going to be able to stop him from hurting her, and there was no way I was going to get Sam back, without working for him. Even then though, I didn't know if I could ever possibly have her back, or be released myself. I didn't know what to do. It was either, I leave, and Sam gets killed, or I stay here, she gets stuck in a cage, and I am working for him. Which one should I choose?

OMG! What is Danny going to do? How does he know Sam is even in the cage? (We all know she is, but still!) Oh yeah, and good job for all the people that guessed it right, although, it was really obvious! I will update on Tuesday! Or maybe Sunday, I am not sure though… I know for sure, you will get an update on Tuesday! Please review! I need 5 reviews to continue at all though! If I get 10, I will update tomorrow! Anyhow, I hope everyone is enjoying the story, thanks for reading and reviewing!
