Dangerously Paranoid Chapter 14:
"What do you mean someone took her? People just don't take other people." Will said to Warren.
"IT'S CALLED KIDNAPPING!" Warren yelled frusteratedly, running his hand through his hair and pacing back and forth. "I mean it all happened so fast, it was all my fault, I was so caught up. I mean I kissed her and then we came back and she went inside, then what! She get's kidnapped by some blonde dude!" Warren muttered to himself as he went through what happened.
"Wait, you kissed her?" Will smirked.
"Not important right now!" Warren growled. "Where are your parents, we have to do something! We can't just sit here." He said quickly. Will grabbed him by the shoulders in an attempt to calm him, but Warren's arms lit up in flame causing Will to flinch back at the slight burn.
"Warren relax a little, they're at the hospital, they took Lindsay to see Gramps." He explained.
"Get Layla and everyone, we have to find her. God knows what is happening to her." Warren said pulling out his phone.
(Ally)
"Let me go!" Ally struggled removing herself from the young man's grip right after they teleported in a cloud of black smoke to somewhere Ally didn't recognize. She turned and looked at the smirking man, he had blonde hair and was wearing a hoodie. She immediately recognized him as the young man who had kissed her months ago with the excuse of a "challenge". "You!" She growled.
"You recognize me?." he smiled seductively.
"Wha-.. Why-.. Where am I!"
"You want answers? So do we," A female Brittish accent echoed through the large open place, the floor was concrete and everything was dark except for a light from above which was shining down on her. It reminded her of some cheap detective show.
"Who are you!" Ally snarled noticing the woman step out of the shadows. She was tall, with short greying blonde hair, brown eyes and a evil essense to her sway.
"Oh how rude am I, I didn't introduce myself. I am DarkSoul," She said with a cold smile.
"That's the stupidest name I've ever heard." Ally snorted.
"And this is Polymath." She motioned to the blonde man. "He has the ability to know absoloutly everything about someone by a simple touch of skin to skin contact." She explained his powers, Ally's eyes widened.
"That's why you kissed me!" She growled, feeling violated.
"And you are quite the kisser," he smirked, then smiled charmingly. Which didn't faze Ally at all.
"We needed to know about you child, we needed to know if it was you." DarkSoul said in almost a scary way.
"If what was me? Where am I? Where's Duke!" Ally growled, getting frusterated by the lack of information.
"You certainly have your mother's temper, but you look nothing like her. Too bad she had to die." DarkSoul laughed.
"BITCH!" Ally charged at her, only to hit nothing but dark smoke. She vanished in the shadows.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, such a pretty girl shouldn't be so angry." DarkSoul appeareds behind her.
"Anger is what feeds away at the beauty on the inside, I have you to thank for that." Ally turned trying to punch her again, but the woman vanished leaving the black cloud. Tears weighed down at Ally's eyes, she hated this womam, she hated her for so many reasons. For her mother's death, for this pain she's caused, for her grandfather, for the uncle she never met. She despised this woman, her new goal: Take her down.
"Camille," the woman called. Ally couldn't believe her eyes, Camille Jensen herself walked up next to the blonde woman.
"Allison meet my grandaughter." DarkSoul smiled, Ally's jaw dropped.
"You! Wha-... Of coarse." Ally shook her head. "I should of known," she muttered.
"Now Allison, you can either cooperate with us and make this easy, or we can do this the hard way." DarkSoul said calmly.
"What do you want from me?" Ally asked in a sigh, folding her arms across her chest. The woman wearing the dark clothes smiled, her teeth an aged yellow and wrinkles creased her face.
"I want your youth."
(Maxville)
The map was layed out on the table by Warren, Will, Layla, Ethan, Majenta, Zack and Kate were circling the table. Jetstream was in the doorway with Gramps on the phone. Warren placed coloured tacs on Maxville, NYC New York and Dublin, Ireland.
"Gramps said he tracked her back through New York, then to Dublin. She wouldn't go to the same place twice." Warren said as Jetstream hung up the phone.
"Unless she found what she was looking for in Ireland, she could be anywhere." Majenta added.
"Patrick explained to me what she's doing, she needs Ally to find the serum." Jetstream told them.
"Well that's not that bad brah, I mean it could be worse." Zack said clapping his hands together. Warren glared at him, shaking his head slightly.
"And when she finds the serum she has to kill Ally to be able to become fully immortal, Patrick told me that the younger you are the longer your life is extended to. Apperently she has more children, but there was something different about Ally that she needs so that she can live forever." Jetstream added. Warren's arms lit up again involountarily, his anger rising.
"She couldn't of gone to far if the serum is somewhere hidden in Ireland." Warren said lifting up the map and pinning it to the wall.
"The Irish Government was informed about the situation," The Commander said entering the kitchen.
"Ireland." Warren said placing a black tac in the map where the country is.
(Ireland)
Ally was tied to a chair, a small gash spread across her cheek bone and down toward her mouth, dried blood was under her nose and bruises formed around her arms and chest. Her light brown hair fell down to her shoulders and her green eyes narrowed to the ground as DarkSoul appeared out of the shadows. A strip of duct tape was covering her mouth enabling her to talk and her hands were tightly bound behind the chair. After trying to take them out and escape, DarkSoul did not want to take the chance and tied her up.
"Tsk, tsk Allison. You shouldn't of tried that," the woman smiled. "We know how your power works, it's connected through your hands. Without your hands, what good is your power?" She laughed. A low growl escape Ally's throat as she tried to wiggle out of the chair. "I need you, to help me." DarkSoul said folding her arms over her chest, Ally snorted through the tape and shook her head. "If you don't, your little friends will pay." The woman threatened ripping the tape harshly off of Ally's mouth.
"YOU BITCH!" She shrieked. "Leave them out of this." Ally growled.
"Then you have no choice but to help me." DarkSoul smiled evily.
"What do I have to do?" Ally asked, dropping her head to look at the ground.
"I need the location of the serum, and that mutt of your's knows where it's at, we have an animal communicator here but he won't speak to her. You need to get him to tell us where it's at." She explained.
"And then you'll let both me and Duke go and leave my friends and family alone?" Ally asked.
"Of coarse, my dear." She smiled as she untied Ally from the chair but still leaving her hands tightly tied behind her back. She lead her out farther into the darkness, holding her arm tightly and then the darkness engulfed them, they then arrive to another place, the room much darker except for a light shining down on a cage. Ally ran to it, knowing Duke was in there.
"Duke!" She yelled as she reached the cage, careful not to trip with her hands still behind her back. The large dog was facing the back wall, his fur dirty and stained with blood. Tears poured down Ally's cheeks. "Duke," she said quietly, the dog's head rose up and he turned it to look at her. Realizing it was Ally he stood and slowly and painfully walked over to her. "What have they done to you?" She asked quietly as his nose poked out of the cage to sniff her scent, making sure it was actually her. "Duke listen to me, we have to get out of here. the only way we can do that is if you tell her where the serum is. You're the only one who knows." Ally whispered to him, tears streaming down her face. The beastly Saint Bernard gave her a sorry look shaking his large head and looking at the ground.
"He won't tell." A woman's voice said, Ally turned to see a blue eyed redheaded woman standing next to DarkSoul. "He says he can't let her have it, if she does the world will become hell and everyone will die." She added. DarkSoul smirked, and walked up to Ally and pulling her back, pulling a knife out of her pocket and holding it up to Ally's ribcage.
"He has to tell, or she dies." She smiled.
"He knows you're bluffing because you need the girl." The redhead said, speaking for Duke. DarkSoul's eyebrow rose as she dug the knife into Ally's skin, tearing the shirt and breaking the skin deeply, slowly cutting it six inches across.
"AHHH!" Ally screamed in pain as the blood stained her shirt and dripped down her torso. Duke barked loudly at the woman, he couldn't stand to see Ally hurt. DarkSoul stopped as Duke let out a low growl and bowed his head down.
"Underground of the ruins of Dire Castle." The redhead spoke for Duke.
"Camille, PolyMath, Go Now!" DarkSoul ordered.
"Alright, we have to split up. Steve and I will search Northern Ireland, Will and Layla you's two will search Dublin, Majenta, Ethan and Zack, you's will take the train to the West in Galway, and Kate and Warren you's will search South by Blarney." Jetstream explained the plan. "Now guys this woman is dangerous, if we find Ally-.."
"When we find Ally." Warren cut her off.
"we need to be careful, very careful. If you's get any information call us." Josie said.
"Don't get hurt guys." The Commander said as Jetstream looped her arms around his and flew into the air.
"Okay, we can do thi-.. Warren where are you going?" Will asked as he noticed Warren walking towards one of the trains at the station.
"Going to find Ally instead of sitting around and having a nice little chat." Warren growled getting on the train.
"He's just cranky," Kate said following him. "Warren slow down." She added trying to catch up as he found a seat on the train.
"What you want me to take my time when God only knows how much time Ally has?" He snarled.
"We're going to find her, she'll be fine." Kate said reassuringly.
Warren sighed and looked out the window, the May weather was taking it's toll on Ireland, causing heavy rain. "I hope you're right."
Ally slept against the hard cold wall,the dried blood causing her shirt to stick to the open wound on her torso and her cheeks stained with tears. She was cold and exhausted, Duke's head was resting on her lap, his eyes open and guarding his owner, his best friend, Ally. In truth he was still only a kid, a young boy at heart, but the years grew on him, not physically but mentally, he learned so much from living so long. Not just as a human but as a dog, how hard it was to live on the streets, to beg for food, to fight to live, and then Ally found him. Patrick told him he had a vision of Ally adopting him at the pound, so he immediately made sure she got him.
He took Ally to get him and because Ally got a pet, Lindsay would get jealous so he let her get one too. Duke felt lucky he got a good home, even as a human he didn't live as good as he was living with the Griffin's. And now this was happening, he felt like it was all his fault, like he could've stopped it from happening somehow.
He could hear people taking, so he lifted his head slightly, using his dog sense of hearing to listen in.
"Why does she need the girl, can't she just take the stuff and go?" Camille asked Polymath as they entered, walking past the cage.
"Because Ally's blood is young, so she needs the girl to drink it, then suck out her blood, make a better serum with it and viola, eternally immortal, the process will kill her anyway." The blonde said with a smirk.
Duke growled at the new information, 'Ally is going to die anyway? Why did I believe them? Why? this is all my fault?' Duke thought. The cage opened and the light above flickered before turning off, he could hear Ally being moved so he turned to find her gone. He howled and howled, trying to let someone, anyone hear his call. He didn't want her to die, she wasn't allowed to die.
Ally's eyes opened wide, she was so cold. There was a bright light shining down on her, her arms and hands were clamped down under some metal cuff like thing, enabling her to use her powers. her legs boud at the bottom. She was on a cold metal operating table,
"Good evening," An aged male voice said from her side. He was a short old man with a grey beard and wearing a lab coat. He had a needle and other operating objects at his side, Ally tried to look around at her surroundings, but everywhere but where she was lying was dark. DarkSoul controlled and traveled through the shadows, she need to find a way to brighten the place up, turn on a few lights. She noted the fact that there had to be atleast a little light to make the shadows, otherwise it was just dark.
"Now this is jus' gunna hurt a bit." The man said, holding up a needle and squirting out a bit of the clear liquid.
"Let me go," Ally managed to say. She didn't know what they did to her, but she was so energy drained. She couldn't even struggle as he poked her in the arm with the needle and sedated her.
"The locals said they seen a woman that look liked Carington here. They failed to mention the old guy in the cable car taking us here was going to smell so bad and try to hit on me." Kate said clinging to her raincoat tighter as they inspected the small Dursey island. "They said they had some mysterious things happening here, like darkness." She added as she kicked a stone causing it to roll and fall into a hole, they waited for the sound of it hitting the ground, it took a few seconds and then made a hollow thump. Warren raised an eyebrow.
"Theres something under us," he said peering down into it.
"Her power is controlling the shadows, what's darker than underground?" Kate said suggestivly.
"There has to be a way in," Warren said looking around the Island, it was small, except for a few small mountains and cliffs. He noticed the cube shaped small building with a door on it, it was made of stone and moss was growing on it to show it's age. "that has to be it." He pointed to it up on the large hill.
"Let's try it, I'm going to call Josie and see what she thinks before we look around it." She said pulling out her phone, before she even got the chance to dial Warren stalked off toward it without her. "Warren! It's dangerous, we atleast need to wait for them." She called following him and calling Jetstream at the same time.
"Well Ally can't wait for us, if she's in here. I'm not going to sit there and wait like good little kids for mommy and daddy." He growled, trying to pry open the old door, he could tell people have been in and out of the place. The dirt was all kicked up and he could make out foot prints in it, the door didn't open. 'Too bad Ally's not here, she could pick the lock. But then again, if Ally was here, we wouldn't need to get into this place.' He thought, he could hear Kate sigh before she freezed the locked and kicked it off, the door then flew open. Warren shrugged.
"I could've got it open." he said as she walked in first and rolled her eyes.
"Of coarse you could HotHead." She said sarcasticly, it was dark and cold, Warren could see his breath as they walked down deeper underground, he snapped his fingers leaving a match like flame on his thumb. A small light, but a light none the less. "Watch where you step." Kate whispered as they noticed the door at the end, it didn't have a lock, so Kate pressed against it slightly, cracking it open a little. She peered around the place, it was dark and hard too see, but the few lights that where on the walls gave them some visibility. It was another hallway, and at the end was another door.
"I don't like this." Warren said in a whisper.
"You're the one who wanted to come down here." Kate whispered harshly.
"I'm getting a bad feeling about whatever is on the other end of that door," He added as they walked towards it.
"If it's some 10 headed guard snake then we're in trouble." She said opening the door, there was what it looked like some sort of scary dungeon looking foyer, there were many hallways leading to some unknown place. "This is such a cliche hideout." Kate snorted.
"Yeah well, in and out. You go that way, I'll go this way." Warren said turning towards the right.
"Wait, I want to go that way." She whined, not liking the darker hallway.
"What are you four? Fine, it doesn't matter." He growled going left instead of right, she smiled to herself as she walked down the less dark hallway.
Warren walked close to the wall, hoping not to be heard or seen. He wanted to light his hand up to make some light, but he didn't want to risk being seen. He followed the hall to the end, noticing the open room at the end. He noticed what looked like cells, or large cages at on the wall. He ran to it praying he found Ally.
"Duke?" He breathed, noticing the Saint Bernard, the dog looked up at him with the most grateful look of pure faith. "Duke boy, where's Ally?" Warren whispered.
"Looks like we have a visitor." A female voice said from behind him, he turned to see none other than Camilly Jensen with a eerie smile plastered on her face.
Kate let out a short breath, she wasn't affected by the cold the least bit, but she felt safer clinging to her jacket as she inspected the hallways, she peered into the room at the end, it was as dark as all the other rooms and she couldn't help but getting a strange feeling, it was paranoia. 'Now I know how Ally feels.' She thought as she took a closer look to what looked like a science lab area, there were counters with sinks and flasks with colourful liquid in them, there were test tubes and flasks being boiled, the liquids bubbling inside.
She hid behing the doorway and searched around, she noticed a strange bald man wearing a lab coat enter the room, 'He couldn't be that hard to take out.' She thought as she lifted her hand in his direction, ice shot from her hand and froze the man solid. "This won't be so hard." She smirked to herself.
"Don't get ahead of yourself girlie," A man said, she looked over to see a blond man staring at her evily.
