Chapter 3
Meeting Demona
Natalie woke up. Her head hurt. She felt a little nauseous. She wondered when was the last time she eaten? The nausea passed after a few minutes. She hoped her baby was ok. She guessed it had been about a week or more since she had a check up. She looked around. The room had no windows and only a few pieces of furniture. Natalie got up. She slowly remembered what happened. Dominique had kidnapped her and was trying to scare her into giving up more information. How did she get that anyway? She wasn't sure. But something would change when she got back home.
The door opened. It wasn't Dominique. It was a female gargoyle. It was blue with red hair and a golden tiara. There were two other gold bands as well. One on her arm and the other on her ankle. Natalie narrowed her eyes as it set the tray down. The meal was meatloaf and cooked green beans.
"Why are you working with Dominique?" Natalie asked.
"That's none of your concern, human." The gargoyle snarled.
"Where is she?" She questioned.
"Eat before I change my mind. That is the only food you're getting." It ignored the question.
Natalie picked up the fork and ate some green beans. They weren't very good. The gargoyle watched, bored, as she ate. The meatloaf was better than green beans. She was more focused on eating everything. After she was finished, Natalie was dragged to her feet.
The gargoyle shoved Natalie out of the room. Her arms were twisted behind her back. The hall was long and dim. It was concert. They walked for a few more minutes. Natalie was pushed into the interrogation room. It was empty expect for a metal table and chairs. She was handcuffed to one side of the table.
"What do I call you?" Natalie stared at the gargoyle.
"My name is Demona." She answered.
There was a pause. They sized each other up. Then the interrogation started.
