Disclaimer: I do Not own Torchwood, Doctor who or any of the characters created by RTD; but I f I did, well; I reckon I'd make a lot of upset people happy again...
Hey! I'm back with another chapter, yay! XX I hope to get one out each weekend, but I really want to finish this story because I have such a great Idea for the next!
Summary: Teenage girls suddenly start going missing all over Cardiff, but Torchwood thinks nothing of it, that is until Fae Harkness-Jones goes disappearing on her way home. Now Torchwood is out to find who's doing this, but they just may not like what they find...
Warnings: Contains some slightly dark themes, some swearing and general Torchwood-y stuff...
Translation: Chrau borthwyr hunllef means A blood feeders nightmare; I just thought it added a nice touch, considering it's all set in Cardiff Wales and Ianto is welsh.. So... Yeah... I will be translating any welsh that I put in so you don't get confused do much...
Chrau borthwyr hunllef
Chapter Three: Balls to that!
A man in a black hooded jacket underneath a long grey coat, stood opposite 17 Broadhill street; his greasy long black hair fell over his completely black coloured eyes, his white skin was so pale in contrast to his surroundings. The man watched as Fae Harkness-Jones made her way out of the house and proceeded to walk down the street.
"She has just left the house- Yes sir, I shall continue to monitor her whereabouts and under cover of darkness, we shall take her- Yes my master"
Fae reached the park in less than ten minutes after leaving Cai's. She crossed over the long field of grass until she reached the rows of benches. Gwion and George were nowhere in sight, but sat at one of the benches were four girls Fae's age; all of whom she's know since she was six as they all go to dance class together on Monday and Wednesday nights.
There was Awena Campbell who was fifteen; Awena was very small and petite, she was 4ft6 in height, had black hair that was pixie-cut; she had light blue-grey eyes that sometimes looked green in the light, and she had pale, typical welsh coloured skin. She normally wore something purple and today had on a purple tank top under a white cardigan, a black skirt with purple tights and purple pumps.
Then there was Bevanne Armstrong who had recently turned sixteen; she was tall at 5ft6, had long blond hair that was almost always in a plaited bun; dark brown eyes and pale skin. She wore a light pink and red flowered summer dress-shirt that came to above the knees, and a pair of pink heeled shoes.
Next was Hailey Norrell, who was also sixteen; Hailey had black hair that was always immaculately straight whatever the weather; she had very darkly tanned skin but piercing blue eyes. She wore a bright yellow shirt with black bats all over it, a pair of very small jean-shorts with yellow see-through tight and a pair of yellow converse.
And then there was Xenia Frazer and was the youngest out of all of them; Xenia had lightly tanned skin with curly light brown hair and lightly hazel coloured eyes. She wore a long sleeved green shirt with black tiger print down the sides, a white mini skirt with black pumps.
"Hey!" Bevanne called out as she approached.
"Heya" Fae called back.
Hailey smiled "If your here for the boys babe your out'ta luck, their gunna 'ave a massive football game in a few mo's... boys"
Fae snorted; she should have known; the park was the centre ground between all the boys at their school and others, and was usually used as a football pitch for almost all of the holidays, and with the holiday's coming to an end in two weeks, this is normally the hottest time for them to finish up their matches before getting back into their school team matches.
"Okay then- so, who's playing today then?" Fae asked as she sat down.
"Spud's lot, and George 'n Gwion are playin' for Geri's team"
Fae winced; Spud, real name Brain Spates, he went to another high school but is known all over for being a right idiot and antagonise, always causing fights, and when he plays football, he and the rest of his team are absolutely vicious.
"Well I see trouble ahead" Xenia said as she started sketching.
"Naturally" said all the other girls; including Fae.
..........
The match actually went on for over four hours; Spud's team lost as the darkness began to settle over the sky; Fae and the girls spent half of their time cheering for Geri's team and booing Spuds team, and the other half just generally having a laugh and taking loads of pictures.
It was only when it got dull in the sky that Fae remembered promising her Tad that she would be home before dark.
"Your gunna be at dance class tomorrow aren't you?" Awena asked "Because we really need to practise that group lift thing and you know we can't do it if we're not all there"
"Of course wennie" she said in a patronising voice; to which Awena scowled playfully.
"You better be!"
Fae said goodbye to the girls; gave Gwion and George small hugs and tried not to get covered in dirt, and promised them that she's go over to Gwion's on Thursday; and she then set off on her fifteen minute walk back home, and tried to go as quick as possible.
She was probably only about five or six minutes from home when she got a phone call from her Tad.
"Fae, where are you, I thought I said be home before dark?" Her Tad's voice came over the phone; she could hear the television in the background as well as her Dad playing with Eddie.
"Don't worry, I'm almost there" she said as she turned into the alleyway between rows of houses. "And besides, it's not dark yet Tad"
"All the same, before dark Cariad, not as it's getting dark"
"Tad, I'm almost home, I'm coming up on Elm Street right now, I'll be three min-" Something came down over her mouth and clamped over her arms.
She gave a muffled yelp and dropped her mobile; she struggled against whatever held her and brought her foot ramming backwards. The thing from her mouth slipped and she span round. It was a man in a long grey jacket was stumbling backwards; she barely registered the sound of tires screeching just outside the alleyway.
She instinctively reached towards a pile of junk in the alleyway and grabbed a long plank of wood. As the man in the long grey coat moved forward, she swung it around through the air as fast and as hard as she could, and brought it crashing into the grey coated man's head and he immediately went crashing into the ground, unmoving. Unfortunately, the wood cut her hand a wrist rather deeply and blood almost immediately began seeping out and dripped onto the floor.
No sooner than she dropped the wood to the floor, fast footsteps reached her ears, and before she had the opportunity to turn around, hands grabbed at her and hauled her off of her feet. "Let go!" she yelled at them; she didn't even know who it was. "Get off! Help! Help! Hel-" her screams were cut off as a hand clamped tightly of her mouth, and then something struck the back off her head, which knocked her out almost instantly.
The four black hooded men bundled her into the back on a van.
"Should we?" One of them said gesturing to the grey coated man lying on the ground.
"We don't have time" another one said as he pushed him into the van "Let's go"
Ianto ran as fast as he could, his mobile clutched desperately in his hand; Jack hot on his heels.
He had heard the 'thump' and then he starting running the second that Fae had started screaming. He knew that something was happening and that he had to get to her as quick as possible.
They came to Elm street and made a fast run towards the alleyway; they knew that's where it would have happened because she always walks down there.
They got to the edge of the alleyway and darted inside. Immediately they spotted a grey coated man lying still on the ground, then they saw a plank of wood, then Fae's mobile, which Ianto bent down slowly to pick up; and lastly, they spotted a patch of blood that dripped to the entrance and disappeared.
"We have to find her Jack, we have to" Ianto said quietly.
"We will; looks like she put up quite a fight" Jack said, gripping Ianto's shoulder and pulling him in for a hug.
"Yeah" Ianto said quietly.
They stayed still for a moment before Jack straighten and pulled out his phone "I'll get the team together, keep an eye on that" Jack said pointedly, referring to the man on the floor.
The van drove along a dirt road; two of the men in the back of the van kept glancing at Fae as she lay unconscious of the floor of the van between them.
Suddenly, one of them sniffed the air "Do you smell that?" he asked.
"Smell what Rodd?" The one driving asked.
Rodd sniffed again and turned his attention to Fae, he reached down and picked up her bleeding arm and sniffed it again "Something strange, in her blood" he sniffed again, and then licked the blood from her wrist. "It's different, different from the others; there's something else in her blood... but what is it, Ketro?"
"How would I know?" Ketro said sternly.
"If there's something different, we should take her to the masters, they always know things" said the one in the passenger seat.
"The masters" echoed the other three.
Okay, so what do you think...? I'd really like some reviews on this one... and I'm trying to get it finished as soon as possible, as I have another story I'd like to write; I might put the preview of that at the end of the next chapter, or at the end of this story, let me know if I should put it in later as I haven't decided yet..
Anyway, Reviews wanted please!
