Whooo hoooo! Chapter 14 everyone! Man this story is really coming around! Lol. Anyways enjoy the chapter!
Previously on Dark Veins:
"Who are you?"Jesse asked once more.
Mevia smirked. "Why we know Isa and how she left your dad to raise you."Mevia said as her coworkers came in.
"Your mom works for us. As in, Hadrian, Otto and Mevia. The Old Builders."Hadrian told Jesse.
"We also know that you are Princess Jesse of Sky City."Otto said.
Jesse's eyes widened.
(Unknown POV)
WOOSH! Was the beautiful sound of my arrow hitting its target. My good friend, Xara, had called me up and told me to come here. To be honest, I didn't know where here was but I was about to find out. I snapped my bow shut as I walked up to a prison. Geez, Xara seriously. A prison.
"Xara?"I called out as I wondered around the prison trying to find the former admin.
"In here!"rang her voice, I followed her voice.
"Geez Xara, seriously a prison?"I asked her jokingly.
The blonde boy with blue eyes looked at me weird. Xara gave him a small smile, was that her husband?
"James, this is Lukas, my son. Lukas this is James, my associate."Xara said introducing the blond boy to me.
Ah, so she had a son wow. Didn't see that coming.
"Thanks for the help James. I really appreciate it, we all do." Xara said.
"No problem. Anything for a friend."I replied, toying around with one of my arrows.
(No one's POV)
Lukas gave his mother something, it was a piece of paper that had ruins written on it. Xara tried to read the ruins, keyword...tried. After a few minutes of trying to decipher the ruins, she flipped the book and threw it across the cell.
"Were those ancient ruins Mom?"Lukas asked his mom while getting a good look at the ruins.
The ruins were in a language nobody spoke. Which meant that Xara couldn't read the ruins. The former admin growled lowly before the cell's door opened, revealing Soren, all beat up. Xara's face turned from angry to confusion and disbelief.
She turned to Soren, placing some ice she had found on his wounds.
"Soren."Xara retorted. "What happened to you? How did you get these bruises?"she asked the Leader of the Order.
Soren looked down.
"I found Jesse but when I tried to get to her, I got beat up."Soren explained.
It was only then that Soren noticed James standing beside Xara.
"Who's he? How did he get here?"asked Soren in confusion.
"His name is James and I asked him to come and help us out. He is a very excellent archer."Xara replied, seeming proud of something.
Lukas was the only one who processed what Soren said.
"Wait? You found Jesse?! Well, where is she?!"he shouted in happiness.
Soren digged into his pockets and pulled out a letter, handing it over to Lukas. As Lukas read the letter, he gasped as he turned it over, there were the same ruins that his mom was trying to read.
"Soren? What kind of language is this?"Lukas asked.
Soren looked down and sighed.
"It's called French."he said causing everyone to look at him with wide eyes.
"French. The language is FLIPPING FRENCH!"roared Xara in anger.
She was angry at the fact that the reason she couldn't read the ruins was because they were written in French. She growled to herself as Lukas and James looked over at her with worried looks.
"Is she okay?"Soren asked worried about Xara. "I know none of us speak French but Isa did, which could mean that Jesse can as well."he added quickly, avoiding Xara's death glare pointed towards him.
Xara continued to glare at Soren as Lukas and James practiced their archery, it was something to pass the boredom. After a few minutes of glaring, Xara took out one of her hidden knifes and chucked it Soren. He ducked just in the nick of time, the knife burying itself into the wall of the cell. He glared at her as she simply laughed.
"Glad to see your awake again. We thought you'd never wake up."called Mevia as she walked into the room, Otto and Hadrian behind her.
Green eyes looked up with anger flashing though them. As much as she wanted to leave, Jesse knew she couldn't. Even though, she had no idea where she was.
"Where am I?"Jesse asked bluntly.
Mevia growled as Otto stepped up. He stood in front of the raven haired girl and kneeled down so he was at Jesse's level.
"You are at our base of operations. Though, you might know it as Champion City."Otto explained.
Jesse's eyes widen when she heard the location of where she was at. Though one question ran thorough her mind, How did she get out of the Prison? Jesse was silent as she heard Otto and Hadrian talking about her punishment.
"So how are we going to punish her? I'm thinking a nice good whipping. What about you guys?"said Mevia as she cracked her knuckles.
"Either poisoning her or stabbing her is what I'm thinking of."Otto said as Mevia grinned.
"Ooh me likey."Mevia commented.
*A/N: Anyone get the reference?*
Hadrian was thinking until he came up with the perfect punishment.
"I got one. We kidnap her friends and put them in our obsidien prison. Then we do both of your ideas in front of Jesse's friends!"Hadrian gave an evil laugh.
Jesse couldn't believe her ears as her face said one thing.
'Help me please!'she thought.
Wow boy is it just me or do I feel bad for writing this? As in the Jesse being kidnapped and held captive part.
Yeah, I feel a little bad but its action that makes the story more interesting. So yeah...
Chapter 15 will be out soon! XD. Hoped you enjoyed this chapter!
