Fighting for Love
Beca spun around and was face-to-face with bright dark blue eyes, "Shit."
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY MATE?"
"Your what?" Beca asked.
"My mate," the tall female growled.
"Beca, get away from her!" Chloe yelled.
Before Beca could react, the tall female swiftly grabbed the stunned brunette and took off running. Chloe and Alice gave chase, but could not keep up with the faster enemy. They ran back to the command center to report the abduction.
When Chloe and Alice reached the command center, they were surprised to see Amy and Bumper calmly eating cookies and drinking coffee…the cookies and coffee meant for those who patrolled the dangerous woods every night. Chloe looked at Alice and immediately pulled Amy in to an empty office, away from Bumper.
"What did you do that for?" Amy asked.
"Watch and learn," Chloe pointed out towards Alice and Bumper.
Alice hooked her staff onto one of the legs of Bumper's chair and in one swift move, pulled the chair out from under her prey. The stunned teen lay on the floor, covered in crumbled cookies and hot coffee.
"DAMN! THAT'S HOT!" Bumper jumped up and screamed, as he tried to brush the hot coffee off.
Alice maniacally laughed and rammed Bumper in the chest with the end of her staff, sending him backwards on to the floor, "IDIOT! Thanks to you, we lost one of our best fighters tonight!"
"What?" Bumper asked, completely dumbfounded.
"What the hell were you doing out in the woods tonight?" Alice pressed the end of the staff against Bumper's throat and increased the pressure, until she heard him gasping for air.
"The staff is Alice's expertise," Chloe told Amy, never taking her eyes off Alice, "You NEVER EVER want to find yourself on the end of it."
"Looks like someone has anger management issues," Amy said as she watched Alice bat Bumper with the end of the staff, as if it was a cat's paw and Bumper was a mouse.
"Let's put it this way…she scares Aubrey," Chloe stated as she watched Alice administer her brand of punishment.
Normally, Chloe would have stopped Alice way before this point, but she was angry at the stupid teen for getting her best friend abducted. Bumper's loud cries for mercy brought Chloe out of her rage and she immediately went to see her commander.
"Sir, a tall female enemy took Beca Mitchell!" Chloe reported, desperately trying to keep her hysteria under control.
"WHAT?" the commander yelled.
Chloe reported everything that transpired in the woods and brought Bumper's current corporal punishment to his attention.
"ALICE! GET IN HERE!" the commander ordered.
Alice gave the battered teen one last hard strike across his bottom and growled, "I'm not done with you yet, so don't leave," before heading in to the commander's office.
"Sir?" Alice asked, the personification of innocence.
"Drop the innocent act, because I saw you. We need to find Beca Mitchell, so I want the two of you to get everyone together and find her! I'll notify Beca's father."
When Alice stepped out of the commander's office, she immediately searched for Bumper. She did not care that her commander just reprimanded her.
Alice spotted Amy first and called out, "HEY! Fat Amy! Where's your moronic boyfriend?"
Amy furrowed her eyebrows and pointed to herself.
"Yeah, you…Fat Amy," Alice growled, "Where's that piece of…?"
"First, he is not my boyfriend and second, so what if I'm fat…you twig bitch," Amy retorted.
"What did you call me?" Alice huffed.
"Twig bitch," Amy smugly smiled.
"Why you fat…!" Alice menacingly growled.
Chloe exited the commander's office and saw the exchange between Alice and Amy, but could not hear their conversation, until she heard Alice call Amy "Fat."
"ALICE! Leave Amy alone!" Chloe exclaimed.
"Butt out of this "Egg Breath," Alice threatened.
Under normal circumstances, the usually jovial redhead would shake off the insult, but tonight was not normal. She was not in the mood for Alice's bullying.
Chloe pulled one of the extremely sharp arrows from the short quiver on her belt and held it close to Alice's throat, "Just because you were able to bully me before Beca moved here, doesn't mean you can again, now that she's missing," the redhead softly growled.
Alice's terrified face bolstered Chloe's bravery, "You know how sharp these little nasties are and I dip each one in poison."
The booming voice of their commander cut their confrontation short, "BEALE! Get a move on it!"
Chloe roughly released Alice and softly growled, "Leave Amy alone," before exiting the command center.
She knew her father was the town expert on the enemy, so she immediately headed home to ask for his help and advice.
"If the female didn't kill Beca, she probably brought her to their compound. The compound is a fortress, so if Beca is in there, we are powerless to help her," Mr. Beale gave his daughter the bad news.
"Dad, why do you think they want Beca?" Chloe asked, trying desperately not to think the worst.
Mr. Beale hugged his daughter, "I honestly don't know, but whatever it is, it can't be good."
After Chloe stopped crying, she thanked her dad and headed back to the command center. When she arrived, she was surprised to see every single fighter there, ready to find Beca. The commander paired up his fighters and wisely assigned Amy to the command center to field telephone calls.
Aubrey and Alice grumbled as they headed out together.
Chloe, and everyone within earshot, heard Alice yell at Aubrey, "Hey slut bag, make sure you keep up! I'm not here to babysit you!"
"I hope those two don't kill each other," Jessica commented as she passed Chloe.
Chloe nodded and watched Jessica and Ashley head out.
As Jesse and Benji headed out, Jesse called out to Chloe, "Chloe, if you find Beca, please call me," Jesse held up his mobile phone.
"I will," Chloe yelled.
Chloe helped her partner, Emily, the newest fighter to join their ranks, choose a weapon from the armory. Like Chloe and most of the other fighters, the young woman grew up and trained in Bella, but she did not exhibit the same natural prowess as the others. The elders hoped by having Beca mentor Emily, the young woman would come in to her own. Since Beca was missing, the mentoring fell to Chloe.
"Okay, you're all set," Chloe smiled.
Chloe gave Emily the easiest weapon to wield, since this is her first time in the field. The redhead primed her wrist crossbow and slid the Sai Beca dropped earlier that evening, in to the short quiver on her belt. She nodded at Emily and they headed out.
Everyone except Chloe and Emily searched the woods. Chloe followed her dad's map to the enemy's compound. When she and Emily found it, they hid in the brush and watched the activity through high-powered night vision binoculars. Chloe could see a lot of activity, but no sign of Beca or the female who took her.
Inside the compound, Beca stood shackled before a female they called their queen.
"My queen, I have brought you the prized human called "Beca Mitchell," the female bowed and pushed Beca to her knees.
Beca defiantly looked the queen in the eye.
"This one has fire, I like that. It will make breaking her all the sweeter," the queen laughed.
The queen walked over and visually inspected her new prize, "You killed many of my people."
"Your people killed many of mine," Beca growled and felt a hard slap on the back of her head.
"Cur, you do not speak to the queen," the female reprimanded.
The queen continued her visual inspection and ordered, "Strip her."
Fear ran through Beca, but she refused to show it. The female who captured her, grabbed the back of Beca's collar and ripped the back of Beca's shirt in two, causing the shirt to pool around her shackled wrists.
"Perfect," the queen smiled. She motioned for two of her human female servants to approach and ordered, "Prep her and bring her to the princess."
The queen thanked the female who captured Beca and as a reward, offered one of her human servants for the night.
"Thank you my generous queen. I would like the young human male you captured earlier," the female bowed.
The queen smiled, "The young human male called "Bumper" shall be delivered to your residence later."
Beca stood in a large bathroom, the type she remembered seeing in her history books. The "tub" was large enough to be a swimming pool. Four human female servants removed Beca's shackles and clothes before helping her in to the "tub."
One of the servants ran a washcloth over her breasts, "HEY! I can bathe myself!" Beca yelled and pulled away.
"Miss, please don't make us have to call the guards," one of the servants pleaded.
"Yes, they will treat all of us badly," another added.
"What are your names? I know you're human, so you must have names," Beca said.
The four young women nervously looked to one another before the bravest one told Beca her name. The other three followed suit. Beca allowed the four young women to bathe her.
"What is the princess like?" Beca asked.
"She is beautiful, but can turn cruel if you defy her."
After Beca's bath, she was dressed in a sheer tunic and taken to the princess. One of the four young women knocked on the princess' bedchamber door.
"Enter."
They ushered Beca inside and knelt in front of the princess, who was seated at her vanity.
"Kneel before the princess," one of the servants whispered.
Beca stood mesmerized by the bright light-blue eyes caressing her body. A tug on her arm brought her out of her daze and she noticed the four kneeling servants. Beca knelt down.
