Chapter 6
LISSA POV
Grunting into my gag, I struggled desperately against my bonds, but it was no use, they just wouldn't give. I still couldn't believe this, we were helpless, I winced in pain as my struggles made the ropes cut into my bare legs, and my wrists. I was trying to process everything, while it was clear we had been kidnapped, it wasn't clear why.
'What do they want from us, who are they anyway?' I wondered in fear.
I tried to figure out potential culprits, the problem was, there were just too many of them. I had far too many enemies for me to simply think and figure out who was behind this.
I struggled again. 'Dammit, this isn't...who could they be, there's just too many possibilities, why…?'
My thoughts were cut off by a muffled moan; I turned my head towards Jill. She was whimpering into her gag, struggling weakly, but it was clear that the ropes were hurting her.
"Jnll..." I called out, trying to get her attention, despite us being gagged.
She turned to me, eyes wide and sparkling with tears.
She began pleading through her gag, in desperation. "Lnffh, Lnffh, plmhfm...tmll mm wm'rm ghnnh bm hghn, tmll mm..."
I wriggled against my ropes, a little uncomfortable; I exhaled softly.
"Jnll; Hm..."
It was useless however; we just couldn't communicate through our gags.
At that moment we were interrupted by the door opening and the two kidnappers entered the room; but they weren't alone. I heard Jill shriek into her gag, at the same time as I did. For behind the two kidnappers were, of all things, Strigoi.
'What are they doing here...Are they, are they working with the kidnappers, but, but why?' I thought in horror.
As the Strigoi prowled along the outer edges of the room, the two kidnappers approached us. I shivered, feeling their eyes upon us was deeply unsettling, especially when I couldn't see their eyes, or anything of their faces.
"I hope you've had time to think carefully." The male kidnapper remarked. "After all, the choices you girls make will determine your future."
I watched him carefully, looking for something, anything that could show a hint of his identity, I also prayed that I could figure out something else important.
'Where, where are we…? God, I need to figure thing out, Rose, our bond, she must be seeing this, if there's anything I can do to help her find us...' I thought frantically.
I was distracted at that moment however by the male kidnapper again.
"Oh yes, especially you Lissa." I froze at that, he knew my name. "Yes, you have such potential, potential to be unlocked, if you...join us."
I was shocked and outraged at this.
I was not going to stand for this; even if the most I could do is offer a muffled refusal.
"Nmvmr, fhgg nhh!" I screamed at him.
Shaking his head disapprovingly the man spoke again. "Such language princess; that will not do at all. I see, you are still being...resistant...well, that won't do at all. We'll have to teach you a lesson."
I tensed at that, wondering just what he meant.
"Whht?!" I cried out.
I got my answer when suddenly the female kidnapper lashed out, smacking me across the face. The stinging pain nearly blinded me as I suddenly felt more and more pain. It slowly dawned on me that my ropes were being tightened, so much that it hurt.
I tried to struggle but it only hurt more. "WHHT, NH, NH, HW, FTHP!"
But they ignored me as they continued and I knew this was just the start, it turned out there was also Moroi amongst the group of kidnappers as I began to feel pain I could only associate with being attacked by an Air magic user. I was being tortured, but I refused to give them the satisfaction of breaking me.
I continued to try and resist; although the pain was overwhelming, but then I heard fresh screams, screams that could only come from Jill. She was shrieking in terror and, though the haze of pain, I could see her, also being tortured while also being closely stalked by the Strigoi.
I couldn't let it stand, I cried out in terror. "NH, JNLL, DHN'T THHGH HMR!"
That only brought laughter from the kidnappers, while our pain continued. My thoughts raced desperately.
'Please, please, stop this...oh, Rose, help us!' I thought fearfully.
My only hopes now lay with Rose seeing this and gleaning something from it that could help her find us. Rose finding us was our only chance now, I truly believed that to be the case.
"There is a way to stop this, princess." The male kidnapper explained. "Simply agree to our terms."
I did not respond to that and the pain continued until, unable to take any more, I passed out, sinking into the blessed darkness of unconsciousness.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
