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...

Chapter Four: Big Mistake Mister!
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.
Fae jerked suddenly awake "Shit!" Someone, a hooded figure, had dumped a bucket of ice-cold water onto her head and slapped her cheeks roughly. She blinked blearily and found that she was seated in a metal chair in a dark room, hands bound to the arm rests.
"Oi, piss off perv! Or I'll make you wish you'd never been born" she snapped disgustedly. One of the black hooded men was sniffing the back of her neck and shoulders vigorously.
"Such courage for such a small child" A quite whispery voice said.
"I am not a child, come out where I can see you" Fae said boldly; though fully aware of her heart thudding inside her chest.
It was silent for a moment, before three figures almost instantly appeared from out of the darkness; Fae fought down a gasp. The figures were tall, white skinned with pure black eyes and long black hair, far beyond their shoulders. All they wore were what appeared to be black cloaks tied around their shoulders.
"What are you? Where do you come from? Why am I here?"
The figures all tilted their heads to one side for about ten seconds, before the middle one spoke.
"We are the Blood feeders, and you are here because you have what we need...."
"Though, yesss.... there is something different about you child" spoke the one on the right.
"You smell different, even different from the others..." the one on the left said.
"So the question is..." the middle on spoke again.
"What are you?" All three said in unison.
Fae tensed, she did not like this at all "I, I am human... Unlike you... where are you from? What planet?"
"What makes you think we are from another planet?" the middle one asks; Fae can defiantly tell that he is the leader of their group.
"Well... I've dealt with aliens before, and I know for a fact that your species are not from earth, at least, not in this time period anyway" Fae stated; inwardly curing how much she sounds like her Dad with a mixture of the Doctor thrown in.
"You human child, are very amusing... But tell me, if you are human, why is your blood so... different, from the rest?" The middle one asked, coming closing; the other two figures remained where they were standing.
Fae's breath hitched slightly in her throat before she spoke "I just am" she said weakly; but the next moment she spoke with a steely voice "Now what do want with the girl's blood, I assume it is you taking them after all?" She asked loudly.
"We come from a race that feeds on blood that carries a particular scent and taste; and it just so happens that the scent and taste is only found in certain humans, some teenage girls to be more accurate, you posses it, as do they, so we need the blood, and taking the girls is the only way to get it, but unfortunately, the number of girls that do posses the certain quality are very limited, therefore we need to keep you all alive to take it slowly... we also think it makes it taste so much sweeter; but your blood is also richer than theirs, something is inside it that makes it somewhat more tempting..." All three voice's spoke at once, in perfect unison that it could have been thought of as just one voice.
"The girls are alive?" Fae asked sitting up slight; if the girl's are alive, then Fae could at least get them out if she got the chance.
"Yes, and I think that it's about time you joined them; after all, I am dying to taste your blood for myself" The middle one spoke.
Fae felt rather than heard a figure behind her move "You won't get away with, I know people, they'll come for me and make your life a living nightmare" she cried out when something stung the back of her neck, and she immediately felt herself become dizzy and sleepy as the middle figure approached her.
"Kidnapping me was a big mistake" Fae said groggily, trying to keep her eyes open on the man in front of her "A very big mistake"
The figure gripped her chin with ice-cold fingers "We shall see human child, we shall see"
Tosh typed at almost lightening speed into the computers "Ah ha!" she cried "I video footage of the vehicle taking her; I'll set the tracking system to see if we can follow the path it went" she said to Gwen; Gwen was on the phone to Detective Davison who was one of the few at the Cardiff police who knew exactly what Torchwood do, and gave her the thumbs up.
"Yes Andy; this is a Torchwood matter now- no, not because Fae was taken- yes- no- I just mean we found someone where Fae was taken from- yes, he wasn't human- great, so you'll inform your officers, - well of course it means something else is going on- listen Andy, gotta go- yeah, we might have a lead- yes, I'll be sure to keep you up to date- bye"
The cog-door alarms blared as the cog-door rolled to the side and opened "I've left Devon and Eddie with Cai and Iestyn; Jamie's going to drop Niari off round there before coming here" Rhys said as he came through.
Jamie was Owen and Tosh's sixteen year old son; Niari was their nine year old daughter.
"Good" Gwen said quietly.
"Where's everyone else?" Rhys asked looking around; it was only Gwen and Tosh.
Gwen tensed and Tosh paused in typing "Down in the cells, questioning that man" Gwen said tersely.
"We're fairly sure that he's been taking the other girls too" Tosh said as Rhys starting walking towards the cells "Don't let them kill him though Rhys, we need him alive" Rhys only nodded.
...............
Jack barely registered Rhys come through the door to the cells; He was too preoccupied with watching Owen hit the man they had chained up.
"Where have you taken her?" Owen asked again.
"As if I'd tell you" The man laughed, black liquid spluttering from his mouth. Owen growled and hit the man in the stomach with enough force that he groaned and spat a mouthful of dark black liquid.
"Oh yeah you will man, you see, we're not like others, I personally couldn't give a shit if you died mate, you took one of our children and possibly a few others, and if you think you're goin' to get away with it, you got another thing comin' now either you tell us where you've taken us, or I swear to god we'll make the rest of your pitiful existence a slow and painful one"
Rhys clenched his hands to stop himself from going in there to prove Owens' point; And Jack and Ianto came closer to the man.
He gave a few blood splattered coughs before speaking "She'll be dead soon anyway" he said quietly; marvelling in the determination of the human men "She smells different, sweet and tasty, my masters will drain her rather than savour her. Im sorry, I just do what my masters ask of me... but, there may still be time...." and the man began to reel of all he knows.
Fae felt sick as she came to; she was in a dimly lit room, and was reclined back in a stiff dentist-like chair. As she tried to sit up, she noticed that there were two tubes attached to her arms, and coming out of the tube was a red liquid; her blood. Both bags were almost full.
"God, no wonder I feel like shit" she muttered out aloud.
"Fae?" A voice asked almost immediately; a voice she recognised, after all, she spent almost four years on the same team with that person.
"Leanne?" Fae said turning her head; she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Leanne's face smiling back at her from an identical looking chair.
"Hey Fae, I can't believe they got you too" she said quietly.
"Can't believe they got all of us" another voice said and when Fae saw her she immediately recognised her.
"Millie Sway, you were that they took" Fae said "I knew something was happenin'" She paused a moment as a violet wave of chills past over her. "How long have I been in here?" she asked.
"I'd say about three hours" a small voice said; Michelle Strinss.
"O-k, three hours.... given the fact I was taken at about eight, I'd say we have about another hour possibly before we're found" Fae said; she started rotating her wrists to test how tightly she was being held down, not tight enough for her.
"What makes you so sure they'll find us just because you've been taken?" Another voice asks; Kelly Ward.
"My family know people" was all Fae said.
"Fae's family has a skill at being involved in strange and extraterrestrial things; though it's not real knowledge, a few of us older students hazard a guess at... Torchwood?" Leanne said smiling slightly.
"Could never put anything past you could we Leanne" Fae said smiling back.
"What's Torchwood?" Kelly asked.
"It doesn't matter; what matters is getting out of here and stopping them before they can kidnap anymore girls... Now assuming that.... Torchwood knows our location; we need to come up with a plan for when they get here; now I'm betting they'll come in with reinforcements this time; meaning we'll hear them, so when we hear them we should get out of this ro-"
"How?" interrupted two girls.
"I reckon after a little work I can slip my hands out, after that I can get you lot untied and we can run out of here; all we need are those metal pipes to hit the ones doing this" Fae said.
"Shhhhh!" Another girl said urgently; Dannie Collins.
"Someone's coming" Leanne said.
They were right, after a few moments a man came in; he didn't speak all the while whilst he changed the blood bags, he checked Fae's bags before changing them, he then smiled leeringly at her and then made his way out of the room "You shall be fed in the morning" he said as he exited through the doors.
"O-k then, I'll get to work on wriggling out" Fae said rotating her wrists clockwise and then counter clockwise.
"...... And that's everything you need to know.... I swear, now you need to hurry if your going to get to her on time"
Owen left the man hanging in the cells before following Jack, Ianto and Rhys out into the main section of the hub; he smiled weakly to Tosh and Jamie; he wonderful bright and intelligent so, who was an almost perfect copy of him, except for the black hair and short sightedness.
He followed the others to where the girls and Jamie stood
"We know where they are" was all that Jack said.
Question to readers: Would you like me to put up a preview of the next story I shall be writing after this one? It will blow your mind, not literally though oth- I'll shut up now!
