Hey, all! Natalie here again! Hannah made me soo happy with the last chapter. I love it when shit goes down xD Which is exactly what'll happen these next chapters and the two of us are really excited about it. So enjoy!
Alissa fell to the floor in a heap. Her blonde-haired attacker smirked to herself and pocketed her taser. One down, one more to go.
"Alissa!" Seto shouted. The brunet struggled against his bindings, but found that there were still too many layers for him to break free. Sakura winced once the dark-haired girl fell and looked on in horror.
Saeko looked up to the struggling brunet. "Look what you made me do, Seto. You had to drag these two with you." The blonde huffed then grinned. "No matter, they'll just suffer at the hands of your mistake."
"You better not lay a hand on either of them," the brunet warned.
"Don't worry about it now, Darling. I won't hurt them until they realized that their foolish actions lead them to their deaths."
As she spoke, she walked over to the light-haired brunette who was still bound by her wrists. Sakura sat there with a fearful look in her eyes. The blonde reached for her bound wrists, causing the brunette to start thrashing and kicking. "No! Let go of me!" Sakura repeatedly screamed.
"Shut up or I might just be tempted to end your life now." Saeko replied coolly while motioning towards her gun.
Sakura froze and allowed herself to be bound to a chair. Several layers of rope where wrapped around her midsection until she was tightly secured and gagged. Saeko completed the process with wrapping multiple layers of duct tape around her head. Seto watched the blonde closely as she dragged Alissa along to a chair on the opposite side of the room. She lifted the dark-haired girl onto the chair and coiled rope around her unconscious body.
The brunet watched Saeko as she gagged the unconscious girl and reached for the duct tape. "What're you doing?" he asked.
"What do you mean? I'm gagging her, Darling."
"She's allergic to duct tape. Get that away from her."
"Why does it matter? Won't that just make the experience better?"
"Get that away from her now!"
Saeko dropped the roll of duct tape to the floor and sharply turned towards him. "Why are you defending her?" she yelled. "She's not even good enough for you! But, I am! Why can't you see that?"
"I'm not going to repeat myself. Step away from Alissa now."
"Would you forget her if I just killed her now?" Saeko nearly screamed.
"Don't you dare touch her!"
"Shut up! Just shut up!" Saeko screeched as she rushed towards the brunet. She grasped onto his neck and began shaking him. "Why aren't I good enough for you! You can't keep talking about her right that! Just shut up!"
Slowly, her grip on his neck began to increasingly tighten. Seto started gasping for air, but couldn't do anything due to the rope still bounding him. Watching in horror, Sakura felt tears prick her eyes as she released muffled screams through her gag. Saeko blurred out any of Seto's gagging or Sakura's screams from her own rage and yelling.
Through the commotion, Alissa's eyes began to twitch. The first thing she became aware of was the flurry of noises surrounding her in the room. It felt like with each second, they grew louder and more chaotic. What the hell? What is that? It took her a moment before she recognized the voices. Oh shit! Her eyes darted open as she surveyed the area. The first image she caught sight of was Saeko's fingers wrapped around Seto's neck as his skin started faintly turning blue.
"Seto!" she yelled after she spat out the cloth in her mouth.
Suddenly, a blinding white light began to surround her body. Her black hair melted away to reveal white locks as her eyes turned a vibrant blue. The room was quickly illuminated in a trance of white spirals accompanied by the faint echo of a roar. Saeko looked up in bewilderment as the light engulfed her. Her grip at the brunet's neck loosened, for all she could do was stare in fear. The faint roaring doubled in volume and then again until it was nearly deafening. The bright light in the room soon materialized into the form of shining scales belonging only to that of a mighty beast. A powerful roar erupted from its mouth as it prepared to attack.
A loud bang rang in the air. The white dragon froze in midair. It didn't even appear to be breathing. Its scales slowly disintegrated and burned away into nothing. The dark-haired host of the dragon shrieked as blood poured out from her right shoulder. Sakura screamed as she watched Alissa's blood stain the ropes binding her crimson. Saeko stood next to the brunet with her pistol in-hand. Her eyes were dazed, still picturing the dragon before her just seconds before. Once she caught sight of Alissa however, she began to giggle.
"Ha! Look at that, Seto! Wasn't that pathetic? Doesn't it prove that I'm the better woman for you?" Her giggle soon evolved into a shrill laughter. "Oh, I have an idea, let's kill the other girl too."
The brunet opened his eyes as air began to refill his lungs. Saeko appeared to be talking, but he couldn't yet make out the words. He looked around through blurry vision. The first thing he noticed was that Alissa's shoulder was stained crimson. "Alissa?" his vision adjusted. "Alissa!"
"Hm? What'd you just say?"
"You need to help her now!"
"She's only in the way of our love, Seto."
"She'll die if you don't do something now!"
"Why should I?"
The brunet glared to his captor. He had to think of something and fast. Think, you moron! Alissa will die if you don't do something! Just tell her what she wants to hear.
"Because I'll never love you if she dies." The words sickened him, but it was the only thing he could say.
"Seto, you can't-."
"I'm being serious."
"No! She'll just get in our way! You need to love me!"
"I won't if she dies."
"But I-you can't-!"
"Make your decision now."
I can't risk losing him, she thought. I've come too far. "If that's what you want, Darling."
Seto watched the blonde carefully as she grabbed a first aid kit from the closet and approached Alissa. She was currently unconscious from the blood loss. Saeko opened the kit and began working at the wound. Okay, Darling. I'll let them live for you… for now.

Mokuba let out a low sigh. It had been nearly two days since he last saw Sakura and Alissa. Why can't Roland just find them already? The ebony-haired teen massaged his temples slowly. The security team had no leads and now they weren't just missing Seto, Sakura and Alissa were gone as well. Mokuba headed over to his brother's computer and began scrolling through files. Nothing on his computer held anything of worth either.
Shit. Is it really that hard to find them? Suddenly, a notification popped up on the screen. It was rapidly blinking and making a beeping noise. What the hell? He clicked on the link and a map soon popped up of the city. A red arrow pointed directly at a specific set of coordinates just outside of town. Mokuba zoomed in on the location in puzzlement. As he observed the arrow, he noticed a set of numbers beside it. Isn't that the code for one of Seto's tracking devices?
He ebony-haired teen soon scrambled to find his cell phone. He picked it up and dialed a number. It rang once before the opposing person picked up. "What's the matter, Sir?" Roland spoke through the receiver.
"Roland, one of my brother's tracking devices just went off. The coordinates say he's just outside of town. I want the car and the security team pulled around now!"
"Yes, Sir."
Alright, another one down! The chapter is maybe a bit shorter than I would've liked, but I admit that I kind of bullshitted the last part XD Also, we're SUPER excited for the next few chapters!... I totally forgot what else I was going to say XD But, oh well! Hannah is doing the next one, and let us know what you guys think!
