Knives
Chapter 2
She turned around to be faced with three men, all dressed in black. Only one looked a bit different, with his bright white shirt and red rose. He looked about 5'6", with dark brown hair and dark brown piercing eyes. You could see the hatred in his eyes
The man with the red hair and Mohawk spoke. "She looks old enough to be a maid. I say we take her." He was quite tall, with some weird writing on his face. He also had a bit of a limp.
The other man was monstrous! He had a huge ugly fat nose, fat like the rest of his body. Although he was on the chubby side, he was decently tall also. "How old are you?"
"I cannot let these pigs scare me! I always put on a tough girl act, this situation is no different!"
"My age is none of your business!"
Cat-man looked at her and started chuckling. "It looks like the little princess has a temper."
She turned red with fury. "Little? You're not too tall yourself midget man!"
Mohawk man and nose man almost died laughing, but Dakota saw the anger in the short man's eyes.
"Wow Basta, you got called a midget by a little girl!" You could barely understand Mohawk man through his laughter.
"Shut up, Cockerell, and you stop laughing too, Flatnose!"
"Basta? Cockerell? Flatnose? What kind of names are those supposed to be?"
She snapped back into reality when she heard the flick of a knife and Basta's raspy voice.
"Princess, you need to watch that pretty mouth of yours before I cut out your tongue! You don't know who you are messing with, so I recommend you watch your mouth"
"Midget man, my name is not Princess, it is Dakota. You don't know how distracting your shortness is, so I recommend you buy some platform heels."
That is when all Hell broke loose. Flatnose and Cockerell just about fell to the ground laughing, and Basta turned red as a tomato, probably from both anger and embarrassment. That's when it happened, she felt cold metal too her neck and smelled a strong scent of mint. She felt a small amount of blood trickle down her neck and heard a light, but menacing, voice in her ear.
"Bye-bye Princess."
Then it all went black.
When she awoke, she knew she wasn't in the woods anymore. She didn't know where she was, but it definitely was not the woods. After a couple of minutes, she took in her surroundings. She was in a car, with Basta, Flatnose, and Cockerell.
Basta glanced at the rear-view mirror to see Dakota had awoken. "It looks like little princess is awake."
On her right side, was Cockerell, since Flatnose was in the passenger seat and Basta was driving. Cockerell had a smug look on his face, "Good-morning, sweetheart".
She glared daggers at him. "Shut up before I stick that good-morning down your throat."
Cockerell didn't look pleased with that reply, but Flatnose and Basta started chuckling.
"It seems someone isn't a morning person." Flatnose said with a grin on his face.
"It seems someone isn't open to getting a nose job." Dakota retorted with a smug grin.
"Oi! Stupid little girl, don't talk about my nose!"
"So Princess, you never answered our question." Basta looked at her through the rear-view mirror again, with a questioning look on his face.
"What question? I don't remember anything about a question, and even if I did I probably wouldn't answer it anyway. Aren't you supposed to focusing on your driving anyways?"
"Stupid little girl, I am driving perfectly fine! How old are you?" Basta was certainly starting to look annoyed, but Dakota certainly didn't have a problem with that.
"Why should I tell you how old I am?"
"We told you to tell us, so therefore you tell us."
"Well midget man is being a little cranky"
The car came to a sudden halt. They were in a parking lot.
"Wait… where are we?" Dakota was confused, very confused.
Cockerell smirked "We are in Capricorns village. When you see Capricorn, you bow and be respectful, understood?"
"Who the hell is Candycorn or whatever his name is? Why should I bow down to someone I don't know?"
Basta burst into rage. "Capricorn is a powerful man and if you don't respect him I will make sure you die in the most painful way possible! You bow down to him and you don't speak unless spoken too, and when you do speak, you be respectful as possible!"
He pulled open the car door and grasped her arm then pulled her out with a great force.
"Let go of me you stupid bastard!" She struggled, and struggled, with no luck. There was no way to get of Basta's strong grip. Although she knew she wasn't going to get out of the grip, she kept trying.
Out of the blue she was thrown to the ground. She felt the ribbons on blood flow from her head onto to the green grass. She didn't realize she had fallen so hard. It also probably didn't help she landed on a rock. Before she could even realize what was going on, she was thrown onto Basta's shoulder.
"Midget man, I have legs, and I know how to use them. You can set me down and not drag me around like a rag doll."
"Little princess, if I set you down you will start struggling again, and if I don't drag you around like a rag doll you will run away. I'm not an idiot"
"That's what you think…"
Next thing she knew, she was suddenly in a church-like building, with more men in black, hundreds of men in black.
She was finally set down. Just to see another man, not in black, but in a rich looking red suit. His skin was colorless, as was his hair. His eyes were a light blue, almost colorless, also.
She knew she was in trouble, deep trouble.
