Seeking Revenge
chapter 2
Author: Jewelbox
Back at Kristin's room...
Kristin woke up suddenly aware of where she was. The room she was in smelled like a rose garden; a scent that, under normal circumstances, would've helped relax Kristin. But this was different. Some madman was keeping her and her family captive and she didn't want to stay in that room any longer. She got up and looked around for a way to escape. She figured the door was locked, but decided to try anyway. Much to her surprise, the doorknob swung to the right and she was able to open the door. She stuck her head out to check for anyone in the halls. When she found that no one was there, she went out of the room and walked down the corridor towards the right. All throughout, the hall was decorated in old-fashioned medival armor, shields, and even swords. Kristin was terrified as she walked past the statues and antiques. At last, she arrived at the end of the hall, where the path diverted in two different directions. She stood there for a few seconds, trying to decide which way to go, when all of a sudden she heard a scream.
"NOOOO!!! Don't hurt him!!"
"Nathan" she whispered to her self. She turned to the left, where the scream had come from, and ran in that direction.
Back in the room where Nathan and Lucas were...
At this point, the machine monitering Nathan's heartbeat started beeping faster. He couldn't hide the fact that he was scared at the prospect of his family being hurt by this lunatic.
"Well, Mr. Bridger. I see you're starting to respond to my threats. That's a good sign. But the fun is only just beginning." Sinclair smiled at him and moved to stand the corner of the room. He motioned to the two men who were there. They slowly moved towards Lucas and smiled evilly at each other.
"You know what to do boys. Don't keep me waiting." Sinclair added with a smirk of anticipation.
The man at Lucas' left suddenly punched him in the ribs, being sure that the blow would eventually turn into a large bruise. Lucas gasped for air. Sinclair let out a small and eager giggle.
"Leave him alone, you bastards!" Nathan was furious. But even more so, he was worried about his son. He was struggling with his bonds, but knewhe wouldn't get free. He felt helpless seeing those men beat up Lucas to torture him. His heartbeat was becoming even faster than before. The men continued to punch at Lucas, who could do nothing to defend himself. He was struggling to stay conscious as he received each blow to the stomach.
Just outside, Kristin had found the room where Nathan and Lucas were in. She could hear them through the door. She could hear Nathan's screams and Lucas' gasps for air. Lucas, her son, being tormented by these monsters. She couldn't take it. She tried to open the door, but it was locked. She looked around but saw no one. All of a sudden, she heard footsteps getting nearer. She searched frantically for a place to hide, running to the opposite side of where she heard the footsteps. As she moved to turn around the corner, she collided face to face with one of Sinclair's guards, who immediately grabbed her arms.
"Well, well, well, look what we've got here. " Kristin started struggling and kicking at the guard to try and escape from his hold, but the guard quickly flung her over his shoulder. "Let's go get you to Sinclair before you cause any more trouble."
The guards approached the door and knocked. Sinclair opened the door, obviously irritated at having been interrupted.
"This had better be important!" He held back his anger as much as possible.
"Sorry sir, but we found her wandering through the halls." The guard who had Kristin put her back down and turned her to face Sinclair. She gasped with fear at the sudden realization that she was caught. Sinclair just smiled at her, but there was mischief in his smile. He reached out to grab her hand and pulled her towards him. He was incredibly strong, thought Kristin, and decided it best not to struggle.
"Thank you boys, you've done well." With that, Sinclair shut the door and pulled Kristin with him into the room. Kristin immediately looked for signs of Nathan or Lucas, but she was not prepared to deal with what she saw. Nathan was hooked up to a machine which, being a doctor, she rcognized as being a heart monitor, and Lucas was tied up and being beaten right before their eyes by two crazy, and very muscular, henchmen. She panicked.
"Lucas! For God's sake, Sinclair, stop this right now!!" She screamed and struggled against Sinclair.
At the sound of her voice, Nathan turned his head to look at her. He was grateful to know she was okay, but he couldn't stop worrying about Lucas.
"Sinclair stop this, please!! He's just a boy! He doesn't deserve this! I beg you to stop them!" Kristin's voice was trembling and she couldn't stop the tears from streaming down her face.
"Oh, come on Kristin, I was just having some fun with your kid. Besides, look at Nathan's face. I have waited years for this moment. I'm not about to let it stop now. Unless..."
His lengthy pause made the men stop their torment. Lucas was struggling to breathe, but was conscious and seemed to be okay. They hadn't touched his face, but he was sure he would have more than a couple of marks on his body hiding under his shirt. Sinclair continued.
"Unless...I have a much better proposition." He looked intently at Kristin, who gave him a somewhat confused look.
"I'll let them go. If you stay and be mine." Kristing couldn't hide the terror in her eyes when he said those words. "If I can't have Nathan's beloved ship, I'll settle for his beloved wife." Kristin looked over at Lucas, who tried to pretend like he was allright, but his wheezing let her know he was just putting on a brave front and was actually in pain. Then she looked at Nathan. He was almost going to cry. He shook his head and whispered to her.
"Don't, Kristin. Please." His love for her was more than obvious. He knew her decision. Kristin looked down at the floor, regaining her composure. She looked back up determined, holding back the tears that were threatening to fall. She looked at Sinclair.
"I'd do anything to protect my family." Her words came out trembling and Sinclair couldn't help but smile.
"Excellent." He said, motioning for his men to let Nathan and Lucas go. The men started undoing the metal clasps around their hands and feet.
"Mom! No! Don't stay! Please!" Lucas didn't have much strength to fight or scream, but he tried as best as he could to convince his mother to change her mind.
"Kristin, listen to me! Don't stay with this madman! I love you! Please!" Nathan was also desperate ro keep Kristin from turning herself over for their protection. More guards came in and two of them grabbed Nathan, while another two took Lucas. They started dragging them out the door.
"No! Sinclair I swear I'll kill you! You bastard! Let her go! Take me instead!"
Sinclair just laughed. Kristin struggled to break free from his grasp and run to Nathan and Lucas.
"Nathan, I love you! Please take care of Lucas! Get him to a hospital!" She was crying by now. She reached out her free hand towards him, but he was being held back by the men. She quickly stomped on Sinclair's foot, causing him to wince in pain and momentarily let her go. She took the opportunity to run to Nathan, and give him one last kiss. But it was shortlived. Sinclair had recovered and had reached over to her. He pulled them apart and slapped Kristin across her face, causing her to lose her balance, and collapse to the floor.
"You are mine now, dear Kristin. Get used to that."
"Kristin! I'll come back for you!" Those were Nathan's last words as the guards carried him and Lucas away from the room. They put up a fight as they were dragged to the entrance of the castle. One of the guards knocked them out with the but of his gun, and the rest moved Nathan and Lucas to the back of a limosine. They drove for a few hours before opening the door and dropping an unconsious Nathan and Lucas out into an open field. Then they drove off. It took Nathan a few minutes to gain back consciousness. He realized they were no longer in the castle. He remembered what happened. He looked around for Lucas.
"Lucas!" He spotted him a few feet behind him and crawled over to the still form of the young boy. He shook him a bit to try to wake up.
"Lucas, can you hear me?! We have to go get help! Lucas!"
"Wha??" Lucas tried to sit up, but instantly regretted it as he felt the intense pain of his bruises.
"Dad. I don't feel so good." He said, as he grabbed his stomach and rubbed his bruises gently.
"I know, kiddo. I'm sorry about what happened. But we have to find the nearest hospital and get you some help and then we have to find a way to get Kristin back." He hugged his son as he looked around for any way of finding help. There didn't seem to be anyone for miles. This wasn't going to be easy.
