Chapter 19

A slap to the face sent a jolt to Nicole's nerves. She instantly woke up and saw a strong light ray pouring from the ceiling. Her eyes blinked shut but she was slapped once more, her cheek now red and singing. He voice yelled loud but it only came out in mumbles. "Oh little Nicole, can't talk?" Nicole stopped struggling as the familiar voice wavered through her ears. Her expression sadden as a face came into view. It was Mikki. The girl they had trusted for so long, the one they thought was on there side. "Ooo.. you didn't know?" and with that Mikki ripped the duct tape from Nicole's mouth. "Bitch," Nicole muttered and began to her attempts to escape by using her powers. As her eyes dilated black, the rope shocked her causing them to fade to a gray. "Metal rod ropes, awesome isn't it?" Mikki said before pulling a blade from her side harness. Nicole's eyes grew wide, "You wouldn't dare." Mikki placed the sharp end at Nicole's throat, causing her to wince in pain as a small drop of blood trickled down. "Why?" Nicole coughed, "Why Mikki, after all we've been through."
"You killed Chase. You killed my boyfriend." Mikki shouted.
"What do you mean?" Nicole asked confused.
"If you didn't hint off Caleb, Chase would have been alive. Him and I would have still been together. I loved him," Mikki choked, "I loved him so much that I could hear his voice from the forest, calling me. Stalking me. Telling me the ways to bring him back and seek revenge on you and your little friends."
"Enough Mikki," another voice sounded. Just then, out of the shadows stepped Chase. His pale skin and short brown hair. Mikki stepped from her current position over to Chase. Nicole was stunned. Chase and Mikki kissed mutely before turning back to Nicole. "I thought you were…," Nicole started.
"Dead? Oh, I was…but Mikki brought me back from the Pagan world," he added snootily, before kissing Mikki once again. "Stop the PDA," Nicole stated angrily. Chase gave her a casual look and grabbed Nicole's chin. "Wish I was Tyler?" he answered sharply. Nicole gave him a stern look. "Oh don't worry, you'll get to see him," Mikki barged, "once his death clock has stopped ticking. Along with your precious friends and family." Nicole seemed scared but remained brave. "Fuck you, " she mumbled, "You'll never take over Salem."
"Oh don't be doubtful with Reid's ascension tomorrow night, I'll be invincible." A single ray of light shone down revealing a blooded Nova. She was not moving, her hair was scrambled everywhere, and there was large gash on the side of her face. "Nova," she whispered. Nova looked up weakly, taking all her might to raise her head and stare at her sister. There was tape over her mouth and her eyes were clear. "What did you," Nicole growled at Mikki and Chase. "We roughened her up a bit," Chase replied bravely. She looked back to her sister, but Nova looked back down sadly. Save Reid. Nova's voice rang through her head. Mikki untied Nicole from the chair and hauled her off to a dungeon.

Reid walked the halls of Spencer Academy in search. "She should have been back by now." he kept telling himself. He came to Nicole and Nova's dorm door and knocked. There was no shuffling of feet or response within the room. He knocked once more before turning the knob. It was unlocked. He continued into the room and saw it was a mess. Shattered windows and mirrors, open drawers, and clothes were strewn everywhere. "Nova? Nicole?" he called out closing the door behind himself. He felt an eerie sense fall over himself but a feminine voice stopped his pondering, "Reid, is that you?" From the other side of the wall appeared Nova, nothing but a towel, her hair was slightly wet. This distraction caused a slight disturbance to "nether-regions". He stumbled over his words, "Umm…I…I…"
"Is something wrong?" she answered innocently, before stepping towards him.
"No…um.."
"Then why are you stumbling over your words and sweating?" she whispered in his ear seductively, then kissed the spot behind his ear. Shivers cascaded down his spine as she continued to caress that spot. Soon, he wasn't able to contain himself and forcefully pushed her onto the bed and began kissing. While kissing Nova, he felt her lips vibrate. He quickly pulled away and noticed that her eyes were not the normal jet black but a infinite light blue and she was laughing menacingly. Before Reid could say another word, they were transported through a narrow invisible tunnel and ended up in a dark room, where he saw Nova tied up in a chair, beaten and bloody.
