Rebekah took a deep breath, looking around the room, pleased to see she was now in her environment, her torture chamber, where she could make silly little witches pay for their insolence.
The room was so dump and somber, Diana couldn't make out what she smelled, but if she were to define it, it would be something like a mixture of burned flesh and candle wax. She had landed beside Faye next to a row of coffins, giving chills up her spine. Minutes ago, she didn't even knew vampires actually existed, now she was sitting on, what seemed like, a powerful one's lair.
Diana felt so confused and scared her limbs hurt from contracting. As if pushing against her own muscles would somehow offer some sort of protection. But the more her eyes took in from the den, analyzing the swords, spikes, chains, medieval torture instruments she couldn't even name, she realized things were not looking up so good for her, Faye, or especially Cassie, who was not even herself, completely under this vampire's command. And worst of all, she didn't even knew what got them into this situation in the first place.
"Thank you for bringing us, Angel. So sweet of you" Rebekah caressed Cassie's cheek, who stood quietly by her side as a faithful dog would stand by their owner.
Faye's whole body was shaking at the realization of where they were. She never intended to go this far with her spell, she knew the consequences could be severe, but this was way beyond anything she could have ever foreseen. She looked at Diana beside her, but the girl's attention was turned to the blonde vampire.
"Why are we here, what is going on?" Diana screamed, demanding an explanation. She was trying her hardest to use her powers but nothing would happen.
"What is going on? Well that is an excellent question, Princess" Rebekah walked towards both girls. Her voice carried a strong English accent, her steps were steady and elegant, firm and mysterious.
If Diana had ever imagined a vampire before, he would probably be wearing a cape, living in some far away castle, not a creature who looked like a Barbie and exhaled sexuality. Her black clothes were so tight Diana wondered how did she even managed to breathe. And then a question hit her, do vampires even breathe? Before she could go any further in her mind with her questioning, she felt her hair being tugged by the vampire's firm hand, lifting her up, the witch howled in pain.
"Why don't you two answer me what is going on? And may I tell you it was not the smartest of choices to take an Original vampire hostage to practice your kindergarten magic" Rebekah clenched her teeth, fury radiating from her deep blue eyes.
"Don't!" Faye begged in a week voice, as if air had just returned to her lungs and she found the strength to speak again. "Please, don't" she knew being polite wouldn't help at this point, but she couldn't let Diana pay the price for something she had done herself.
"Oh, you don't wanna watch your little girlfriend suffer?" Rebekah traced Diana's neck with her forefinger, scratching her torso to bleeding point, taking a long lick of Diana's blood before continuing "isn't that a shame?" Rebekah licked her lips, rolling her eyes at how delicious the witch's blood tasted, it had been such a long time since she last got to taste pure, powerful blood.
"Release her, kill me if you want, but don't hurt her" Faye got up, trying to free Diana, but Rebekah had her other hand in her throat in less than a millisecond. Faye felt black magic running through her body at Rebekah's touch, which she knew was not normal for a vampire. It's like her powers were magnified here, and it made perfect sense to Faye then. She probably had this place protected from any magic that wasn't her own, magnifying her own powers or maybe even stealing some to herself.
"I see what is going on…" Rebekah let out a loud laugh and dropped both girls back to the ground "why don't you sit and relax, I'm gonna tell you a story" Rebekah smiled mischievously, seeing the girls in front of her couldn't move, horror growing on their faces.
Faye's eyes grew wide. She had sensed Rebekah was working some sort of mind controlling spell on her, and right now she'd rather be dead than letting her say anything to Diana "Rebekah, we both know it's not stories you want, you want blood, take mine and let them go. This is between me and you" Faye said in the most firm tone she could use, even though she was so nervous she could throw up. This was worse than all the nightmares she'd ever have combined.
"Please, Faye…" Rebekah used all her sarcasm to mention the girl's name, making her seem like the weakest insect on earth. In fact, Faye felt like she was about to be stepped on like an insect, so that was probably accurate "You insult me. You see, I know you've been a naughty girl. You wanted to steal little Angel's powers here…" Rebekah walked back to Cassie's side, running a hand through her hair "Am I right?" Rebekah ran her hair through Cassie's locks, shooting a death stare at both girl's direction when her question wasn't answered "I said, am I right?" Rebekah asked in a louder and more angry tone and Faye could almost feel her firm hand against her throat again.
"Yes!" Faye looked down, she knew Diana was staring at her with her judgmental look, and that was what hurt the most. For the millionth time, she had disappointed Diana.
"But you needed my help to do so, so you dragged me to your stinky witch house and set a trap there for poor little Cassie, didn't you?" Rebekah's inquiring eyes burned holes into Faye's soul, while she whispered another simple 'yes' in response.
"Faye, what the he-!" Diana's wanted to slap Faye for not only betraying a member of their circle, but getting them into this deadly situation. She had her whole speech prepared, but Rebekah's voice raising stopped her immediately.
"Which makes me realize…" Rebekah walked to a swords cabinet, taking the longest one.
Diana let out a loud scream escape her lips, tears streaming down her face when she couldn't believe the image before her eyes .
Rebekah ripped Cassie's head off with a single blow, her ashes touching the ground like autumn leaves "…she has no use to you anymore. As for me, I don't like competition. Being the only blonde in the room, I know you'll pay more attention to me now." Rebekah could hear the girl's bodies shivering, knowing her message had been received. She was not playing games and she would make them suffer. "And besides, it's not her you have and interest on after all, is it, Faye?" Rebekah raised her eyebrow and Faye knew what she meant. Trouble.
