Eric, faster than anyone could comprehend, was curbside where I had just been sitting. The only trace that I had been there was my phone laying on the ground open. He picked it up and checked the last incoming and outgoing calls. He saw that my last call had been to Godric. So he plucked his phone from his pocket and called him that instant.
Godric answered the phone in a frenzy. "Giselle?"
"No Godric, It's me."
"Where is Giselle?"
Eric felt a wave of Panic. "I'm not sure. I heard her screams from inside and when I got here she was gone."
Godric's voice deepened a bit. "This isn't good. I'll arrive sometime within the next few hours. I'll meet you at your home." Before Eric could answer Godric had hung up the phone.
Eric dropped to his knees as he felt the energy drain from his body. He stared at my phone. "I blame myself for having to much pride not to admit that I care for you."
Eric gathered himself up enough to leave. He headed straight home where he would wait for Godric's arrival. He paced the floor for hours. He heard a car speeding up the driveway. He opened the door and dropped to his knees.
"Godric," He said lowering his head.
"Not now my child. We have far more pertinent matters to attend to." He paused. "She's still alive I can sense that much." Godric added walking into the living room.
"How are we going to find her?" Eric questioned staying at least three steps behind his maker.
Breathing deeply, "I'm not quite sure yet. We may need to ask for help from Miss Stackhouse."
They both sat on the couch side by side silently for a few moments.

The men who abducted me weren't vampires or any other supernatural beings. They were humans doing the bidding of a manipulative vampire. I just didn't know who, yet.
We'll see if she makes it after sun up in the morning. The shorter chubby one of the three thought.
We arrived at what appeared to be a warehouse about an hour or so outside of Shreveport. The men unloaded me from the vehicle being as careful as they could to shield my eyes so that I wouldn't know my surroundings. They carried me down a flight of stairs into a cellar. There was a metal cage with a cement floor. This is where my journey would end. They unlocked the door and threw me in. There I sat on the floor knees pulled up to my chest. Breathing deep as not to cause any disasters. Then it hit me. If I could still do it I could send images of a disaster to Godric as a sign of what I was going to do. Then he contact Eric and have him search for the area in which the 'force of nature' had taken place. I lowered my knees into an indian style stance. I clasped my hands together and began rubbing them. I stared up at the ceiling and started to hum lightly to myself. I was sending images of earthquakes to Godric hoping he understood what I was trying to do.
_________________________________________________
Godric's head dropped suddenly.
"Godric?! What's happening?" Eric slid off of the couch and in front of him.
"Shhhh." He focused. His hands started to move in the same motion that I, myself, had been preforming in the warehouse. "She's trying to contact me. The images are fuzzy. We haven't done this in a while."
"Contacting you?"
"She's sending me images of what appear to be earthquakes?" His eyes were still closed, his eyebrows arched. "Yes, they are earthquakes. She's going to try and cause one so that we can narrow down the search area. She's also sending me pictures of warehouses. That must be where they are holding her. "
Eric seemed to grow ever so slightly more jealous of the connection that Godric and I had. It seemed to be deeper than he originally thought. Remembering Godric was his maker he kept his thoughts to himself.
You must hurry my child the sun will be out soon and you may have to wait until tomorrow night to try. Concentrate. Channel all of the bad things that have happened to you and use them.

I tried to do what Godric told me. But panicking about it almost being sunrise I was unable to control my thoughts and keep them focused on the task at hand. I heard the three man that had captured me shuffling their feet across the floor. They came to a halt down the hall. I heard a rusty door creak open and the men walk inside the room. They slammed the door shut. I heard whoever was already inside the room tell the men not to think of or say his name around me. One of them asked why. He was slammed to the ground with a sickening thud. "Because she's a fucking telepath you imbecile," The vampire screamed at him.
________________________________________________
"She's distracted." Godric broke the few tense moments of silence.
Eric holding his head,"What do you mean she's distracted?"
Godric placed his hand on Eric's shoulder. "She's not concentrating there's something going on that won't allow her mind to rest and focus."
"Godric it's my fault that she's in this position." Eric looked up at him with a bloody tear welling up in his eye.
The right corner of Godric's mouth turned up in a half smile. "I don't doubt that at all my child. But she's pretty good at getting herself in to situations like this all on her own." He was trying to make Eric feel better. He knew that I needed his attention and as long as Eric felt guilty about the whole situation there would be no way for him to give me the help I needed. With as much tenderness as a lioness licking her cub Godric stroked Eric's head to assure him that everything would be fine.

Unable to focus my thoughts I laid down on the cool floor. Many thoughts ran through my head as I traced the cracks in the concrete with my fingers. This somehow seemed to sooth me enough for me to focus. Without moving I felt the earth beneath me tremble a bit. I was doing it. Just a little more focus. I closed my eyes. The ground shook a little harder this time. It was nearing sunrise. At least if I didn't make it in time they would be able to track me the following night. If I made it that long. The three brooding men who had kidnapped me bolted out of the room trying to figure out what was going on. The earth shook harder still causing bits and pieces of the building to crash to the floor. One last deep breath on my part and the building shook beneath all the furry of mother nature. I was mother nature. Still laying on the floor a grinned to myself hiding my face from the men who screamed like cowards. I started to cry and little bit thinking about the fact that I might not make it out of this alive and I heard it. A loud thunder clap and rain pouring into the cracks in the ceiling that I had created. My emotions were controlling the weather. More so than I had before. The sky turned black. Yes if I can keep this up this will by time for Eric to find me.

Eric's head snapped up from the semi-depressed position it had been in.
"Did you feel that?" He rose to his feet and walked out on to the front porch. Off in the distance he saw the swirling black clouds looming about two towns over from where he lived.
"Yes. She's done it. We need to move if there is any hope of saving her tonight." Godric said heading towards Eric's corvette.
The jumped into the vehicle and sped off toward the distant black clouds. With Eric's driving they reached the edge of the storm I had been brewing in my mind. The storm span was about two miles approximately. They stopped somewhere on the side of the road at the edge of the storm. Godric stepped out of the car.
Child we're close. We need you to narrow down the area for us to search.
Godric's thoughts echoed in my head. I didn't know what else to do. I placed my head in my hands thinking about what I could use to focus the search. I used as much anger and force that I could to cause lighting strikes over top of the building.
Giselle we're coming for. I'm sorry be strong and you will never have to worry about being hurt ever again.
This time is was Eric. I couldn't let my body or mind relax or I would lose all concentration and it would have all been for nothing. In an instant I was jerked up off of the ground. I was being held about two or three feet off of the ground by a tall lanky vampire. He was still a fairly young but strong vampire. He looked at me with the most disgust that I had ever seen in my twenty-three years of life.
"What the fuck are you? And what hole did he find you in?" He asked almost screaming at me.
I didn't answer. So he shook me and dropped me to the ground. I kept my concentration regardless of how much pain my body had been in. The lighting strikes keep hitting the building. They'll be here any minute I kept thinking to myself. The vampire stood in front of me staring at me menacingly. He knelt down beside me.
He whispered in my ear, "I'm going to enjoy draining you. Leaving him with no one." I heard his fangs as they appeared. I closed my eyes and just laid there. "You aren't going to fight?" It was irritating him that I wouldn't answer. I felt is fangs sink into my neck. This is it this is how I'm going to die. After everything I've been through this is how it ends.
