Caroline

Friday, 7:20 PM

I struggled in my seat even though I knew it was useless. I turned my head and glared at the man who had taken me away from Edward and his family.

He didn't turn his head, but he must have noticed because he started to laugh. My arms felt sore in the handcuffs that had been put on me.

They were different from Edward's, they were just regular metal. I felt the disgusting cloth that was used to gag me.

I turned and stared out the window. I saw my friends and all of Edward's family.

"Good Edward told the truth," the man, whose name I found out was Agenth, smirked seeing everyone giving up.

"There are four to many," Agenth growled into a radio.

I heard a musty voice come from it, "Two of them seem to be important to Jack and Chris, and I don't know about the other two but, they are important to the first two."

"Keep them for now. If I find them no need I'll have you dispose of them because I have to babysit Edward's girlfriend."

I looked around and saw a gun. If I could reach that gun I would be able to threaten the man into giving me the key.

But where would I go? We already were in the air. I would have to do it once we landed.

The helicopters went up at a nice normal speed, and then my head jerked back crashing into the leather seat as we zoomed faster than I had ever known possible.

We were going closer to the vast world of space. The air pressure changed and the next thing I knew everything was black.

My eyes blinked open.

"Finally you're awake," Agenth growled. My hands were free. I looked around realizing that I was definitely not in the helicopter.

The room I was in was completely black and dark except for two candles placed on a long black table. The shadows seemed to be reaching and grabbing towards me.

"Where's everybody?" I asked worriedly.

"That's not important, but everyone is safe. For now." I wondered if I was in some type of dining room.

His sharp fingers pressed against my cheek, "Your eyes are interesting, most of our kind don't even have eyes like yours… Very interesting."

What did he mean?

Agenth took a step back, "Get up. Deveron wishes to meet you." Deveron? Everyone was talking about him. He didn't sound like the person I wanted to meet.

If he was anything like these creeps I should be very worried. I heard voice coming through the hallway I was about to go down.

"I would never do that to my family," I heard Edward's voice. I think, it was hoarse and pained I had never heard anything like it before.

"You wouldn't? You know that your dad pretends you're not even his son. You know what you are to him. Jack and Chris don't understand and neither do Sapphire, Emeralda, and Belle. Besides, you're going to do anything I tell you," I heard a voice that I couldn't describe.

I couldn't see this man, but I knew it had to be Deveron. His voice was sharp and made you want to go curl up in a hole. I hated it more than anything.

"Agenth, would you bring in the girl?" Agenth shoved my forward into the room. The push was so hard that I fell down completely.

"Don't touch her!" Edward yelled glaring at Agenth. I heard Deveron laugh. It was horrible and inhuman. Well he probably wasn't human, but still.

I pushed on the floor struggling to get up. I scanned the dark room. The only light coming from torches hanging on the sides of the room.

I saw Edward staring at me with more concern than I would expect from anyone to give me. Especially since I'm only eighteen.

Then my eyes landed on what must have been Deveron.

He was very tall and quite reasonably skinny. He was decked out in black which made his parchment colored skin stand out. He had black hair that was perfectly combed besides one or two strands sticking up on the top of his head.

His eyes were the most interesting feature though. His eyes looked like someone had sucked all the color of the world out of him.

I seemed to be sucked into their gray emptiness. It seemed to absorb me. My breathing slowed staring blackly into his gray eyes.

"Deveron stop!" Edward screamed. I was suddenly pulled out of whatever had just happened to me. I was shaking what was Deveron doing to me?

"You did a good job Agenth," Deveron sneered. Edward glared at Deveron.

"Thank you sir, just doing my job."

"Edward what were just saying about not doing what I told you?"

"That I'm not going to do it!" Edward spat into Deveron's face. I just realized that three guards were holding onto Edward and he was still handcuffed in those flashing bright colors.

"Agenth." Suddenly I felt that cold metal of the dagger pressing against my neck again. His other hand was firmly holding onto my arm.

"Edward?"

"I'll do it on one condition. Let the girl go," Edward said seeming even weaker than before.

"I don't feel like letting her go. So I guess we can just kill her and you don't have to do the job. Agenth," Deveron said solemnly.

The knife pressed harder on my neck.

"No! I'll do it. I'll do it," Edward begged more in the direction of Agenth than Deveron.

"Good. The guards will take you and you will tell your friends what I told you do you understand?" Deveron said sternly.

"Fine," Edward glared. The three guards pushed Edward to a different room. Everything seemed to look a thousand times scarier when the only people besides me in the room were Agenth and Deveron.

"Put the girl in a cell as far away from Edward as possible," Deveron ordered.

Agenth put handcuffs on me and slightly touched his dagger to my back so I would walk forward.

I went through the same door Edward went in. My eyes widened as I saw more prison cells then I had ever dreamed possible in one place. Edward had clearly been saying something but he finished when I got there.

Edward gave me a look that said 'be careful and safe,' then he trudged down a stairway that disappeared in the darkness.

I watched Edward and soon he also disappeared into the dark.

"Move, we don't have all day girl," Agenth hissed at me. I was shoved into a small cell close to the door I had come through. I heard the locking of keys and saw Agenth stride away.

"Caroline?" I heard a soft voice that must have belonged to Sapphire.

"Yes?"

"Whatever you do don't listen to Deveron he needs you and you must ignore him as much as possible. Do it for all of your friends and us."

"Okay, I promise I won't listen to him. Um… whatever Edward told you now you can't listen to either. Deveron forced him to say it."

"Thank you. That does make since, Edward has never expressed interest in what powers we would obtain until now…"

I leaned against the cold wall of my prison and shut my eyes hoping to wake up and find that all this was just a dream.
