Chapter 7: Kidnap

Years pass as we do the occasional every night. I started highschool when I turned 17, he started high school as well. I've been aloud to see him.

When I woke up one morning, the dark and gloomy clouds shown through my open window. I rolled over to find Tao, but he wasn't there. All I could make out was something black. My vision was always off after I slept. I touched the black object and it felt of leather. I sat up rubbing my eyes to see this thing more clearly. I picked it up and it was the black leather coat. Pinned to it was a message:

Dear Kitten,

Your parents went to something important. I'm waiting for you outside. I got bored a little bit. Put this jacket on. It's cold out here.

Love,

Tao.

I slid the message onto my computer desk. I finally got to see what kind of calligraphy he used. I stood up and put the jacket on. This one was different. The last one was a thin, tight fit. This one had a collar that protected my mouth when zipped fully or when I looked down. The sleeves were a little long for me. I could grab the cuffs and curl my hand upward. I liked it when I could do that. It was a little longer and it was split in the back. The zipper only covered the top half of the jacket. It wanted to flow when I walked. I left my room and right in the middle of the hallway was a black shirt, black mini skirt and black combat boots with knee high black socks. I looked behind me to see if there was something I missed. I looked back at the outfit. I picked everything up and went to my room to put it all on. The shirt was thin on me, The skirt looked really sexy with the shirt, The knee high socks went great with the boots and skirt, plus, everything matched. I placed the final touch in my outfit, the jacket. There was another note in the boot that told me to put on my gothic makeup along with the stuff he sent to me.

I finished with my makeup and I headed outsides. I was going through grandma's room to her doors when I saw another note taped to the glass.

Easter came early and the Easter bunny wants you to find his present. Only then will I come out.

P.S. Crosses don't hurt, neither do stakes, so don't be afraid to forget about taking off your jewelry.

I stepped outside and I almost turned into an icicle right there. I needed to find that thing that he wanted me to find. Purely he put it into plain view for me, and an easy to get to place.

I looked all around the property but could not find it. The only place I didn't look was in the trees. I started climbing the trees that I couldn't see up in there branches.

I only had one more tree to climb. The old pine tree. Back in the day, Lara and I climbed it all the time. A lot of us used it as a place to hide in when we played hide-and-seek. Grandpa cut off the bottom branches. It was hard but I finally got to the first branch and looked up as I made my way onto the second branch. I looked up again. I saw something of a silver color. I climbed faster and faster until I made to the top. It wasn't the total top, but it was close. I took the silver thing off the branch and into my hand. It was a bracelet that had a cross, in the cross was a diamond. I hit it against the tree and nothing happened. I knew that diamonds are the hardest mineral around. I didn't want to break it. I found that it was too big for my wrist. I sat on the branch and put it around my boot where my ankle would be. It could be adjusted, but not to the size of my wrist. I left it around the boot. It fit loosely there. I slowly made my way down the tree. I walked a few steps away from the tree.

"Hey, Tao. Thanks for the anklet. I love it like I love you." I paused. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

"Are you sure that you would love that anklet as much as a filthy blood sucker!" A snarling voice yelled behind me. I jumped around and saw a black haired man. His left eye was white and his right eye was black. Tao warned me about this description. He said to run if I saw it. I remembered the warning and turned to run. Before I could take a step, he had me by the collar of the jacket. He pulled me into him. My front was to him. His arms were wrapped around my body. He squeezed me to him. I couldn't breath. My teeth bared and I was forced to look up as the pain surged through me. My eyes squeezed tight. I groaned and shrieked like I never thought I could. If he was trying to knock me out then why didn't he just smash me against the tree. He squeezed me harder and harder, but I just struggled harder. I heard Tao in the background snarling. I wanted to yell his name but the man released me a bit, grabbing my wrists, he smashed me against the tree. I was out in an instant.

When I woke it was pitch black. Something was hurting my ankles. I tried to move my hands but they were tightly chained to the wall. I tried to move my legs but they were chained up too.

"WHERE AM I!" I yell at the top of my lungs.

"Your at my torture chamber." Said a voice in the shadows. He turned on the supper bright lights. It took me a while until my eyes adjust to the intensity. He was standing at the other side of the room. He had a huge grin on his face. "Where are my manors. I'm sure Tao told you about my looks but not name. My name is Kendonolyne, Ken for short."

"He has told me your description and your name. But he never put them together." I said with such furry. "Where's Tao!?"

"He ran away once he saw the blood." He said.

Blood! I thought. Am I bleeding. I felt something running in my hair, something warm. Ken pressed a button and the chains were released some so I could move. I touched my head where I felt the warm thing. I examined my fingers and they were blood red.

Did he make me bleed when he hit me against the tree? I thought. His grin disappeared and he left in a split second. I had no idea what blood taste like, the only time I ever tasted blood was when I cut my lip or lost a tooth. I thought that it didn't taste good was because of my saliva. I felt silly doing this, but I did. I took my fingers and put it up to my nose. It smelt like iron. I pulled it back to look at it. I looked around the room to see if there was a way that someone was watching me. Nobody was around. I put my fingers in my mouth.

I pulled my fingers out of my mouth and spat out the blood. It tasted the same. I was wondering why and how vampires could like that. I remembered watching the "Most Extreme" and remembered what they said about vampire bats. They have to drink there body weight in blood. If I drank blood then I would have to bite at least a dozen people and drink there blood. I started to think that back in the renaissance time, they thought that drinking blood was good for you, even when they were sick. Some people probably thought of eternal youth.

Maybe it tastes different to them, sweeter maybe. I thought. I wiped the rest of the blood on the jacket I was wearing.

The door slowly cracked open. Two young girls with there hair pulled up in buns walked in. One of them had blonde hair and the other had a darker blonde tint. They stood next to the door like Ken was. They looked as tan as Ken did.

Werewolves. I snarled in my head. They stayed standing at the other side of the room. I got tired of them watching me like I was a huge turkey dinner for two. Tao told me of there monstrous appetites. I shouldn't get between a werewolf and it's meal.

"What are you doing here?" I snapped. They were lost in concentration.

"Master Ken told us to watch you." said the dark blonde haired girl.

"We are loyal to Master Ken." Said the blonde girl. "And if you even try to pick those locks, we can kill you if suitable." I gulped at that last saying.

I didn't want to die, I wonder what Tao would do with himself if I died. I cried in my head.

"But, since Master Ken wants you to like him, for some reason, he wanted us to give you a mattress, pillow, and blanket to sleep on." Said the blonde. She opened the iron door even more to reveal a mattress, pillow, and blanket. They brought the stuff in. They had to put the mattress under me while I was still chained up. They put the pillow at the head of the bed and lay the blanket over me. As they left they turned out the lights. It was so dark. the blanket was too thin, it felt like I didn't have one. I was cold and lonely. Turning to a more comfortable position was hard with the chains. This all reminded me of the dream. It was like, Tao, and Ken's actions corresponded to the dream I had long ago. Was he going to leave me after he saved me. He was probably frantically trying to find a lead to my scent. If he didn't leave me when he busted me out then he would some day. He would probably leave me cold, and alone in the snow somewhere. I didn't want to think this, not at this time.

I was so cold it left me drifting to sleep.
