The villagers took Lexi to Chief Mendez. He ordered them to take her to the lab as Salazar told him. He wanted her…gifted. So they carried her there and a hooded monk shot a 'special' egg inside her neck with a syringe. This was going to be a unique and special parasite.

Two hours later, Lexi awoke in a room, tied up. Her hands tied behind her back and her feet tied together. Her head hurt a little and her neck was very sore. The last thing she remembered was running into that man and how he grabbed her neck, from there it went dark then she woke up here. She looked at her surroundings, it was a nice bedroom with a fireplace. It had dressers and shelves with plates and vases. The bed was nice and comforting. Lexi decided to look around the room to find something to cut the rope with but as she got off the bed, she fell to the floor, frustrated that her feet were tied together.

Meanwhile, Salazar was speaking with the villager that had thrown Lexi. Salazar sat in a chair that was small and short, just the right fit for him. His two verdugo guards on both sides of him. The villager was at the bottom of the stairs. Salazar was yelling at him in Spanish:

"She has a wound on her head. If it was any worse, she could've died!" yelled Salazar.

"She was fine. She's alive and well" said the villager.

"She's benn unconscious for hours. I said I didn't want a scratch on her and you did more than that. What you did is unacceptable. You know what the consequences are for your actions" said Salazar as he put his finger up to push a button on the arm of his chair.

"No!" yelled the villager as he started to back up and run but it was too late. Salazar had pushed the button and the spot on the floor where the villager was standing opened and the villager fell. As he was falling and screaming, a huge spike went through his torso and another went through his neck. The sound echoed very loud. Salazar was listening the whole time on his horn that was attached to his chair. The other part was connected to the wall where the spikes were. Salazar had the horn close to his ear.

"Ah…the satisfying sound of one's impalement. I feel much better now" said Salazar as he turned it away from his ear, " I think I will go see Ms. Merrin now."

Salazar smiled and got up from his chair and started walking to his room where tied up Lexi was left.

Sorry this chapter so short. I didn't have a lot of time to type this. Hopefully the next one will be longer and I will type it as soon as I can. R&R
