The Sketchbook

Kidnapped

Luz POV

Three days have passed since the incident. I had healed fairly quickly so they discharged me on the second day. I was watching the news and they said something disturbing on the news.

"There has been a prison escape. Folks in Bonesburow should be cautious. If you see this man named James Noceda then call the emperor's guards immediately. Back to you Steve." A man on the crystal ball said. I was already hyperventilating when another man on the screen popped up "Thank you, Steve. This sponsor is brought to you by Steve's CO. Take it away Steve!" Another man said on the ball. I stopped for a moment and thought 'Are all the coven guards named Steve?' I then went back to hyperventilating thinking about the one person who ruined my entire life... Mami came in after hearing me and ran to me. "What's wrong, Mija?" Mami asked me in a soft tone. "He...he...It's him...he's back..." I said trying to form sentences. "Who is Luz?" Mami asked, confused. "My...D-dad..." That was all I could say before I broke. I cried so much right there on the floor.

I went to sleep not long after I had seen the news. I had woken up to go use the bathroom when I saw someone outside my window. They had on full black clothes and a scar over their left eye. It was a man from the looks of it. I hid where he couldn't see me very well and watched him in the dark. He slowly opened the window and crept in. He drew a spell circle and before I knew it he had shot it at me. I tried to stay conscious while he walked to me and took off his hood.

It was my dad. "Night Night Princesa." He said smirking. I fought in and out of consciousness but eventually slipped. 

I woke up chained to a wall by my arms in what looked to be a dungeon with chains lining the wall. I started panicking. 'No...Please no...Not him!' I thought. I heard footsteps and I quickly began to break into a sweat. That's when I saw him. He was wearing a black shirt with jeans on. He had a little blood smeared on his face and an angry expression. "What do you want with me you monster!?" I yelled at him, tears streaming down my face. "Shut your mouth if you know what's good for you brat." He spat in my face, his words full of venom. "Let me go! I'm not afraid of you anymore!" I yelled again at him, fighting against my restraints. 

He smacked me in the face and grabbed my jaw, making me stare into his eyes. "I said shut it brat! You yell at me one more time and you will face severe punishment!" He said shoving me on the ground and putting a foot on my head making sure I wouldn't get back up. He got off me and I got back on my knees on the floor. He drew a spell circle and his hand started to cackle from the lightning spell. 

He walked closer to me and put his hand on my shoulder. I screamed from the volts of electricity going through my body. He pulled away with a wide grin on his face. I collapsed to the ground, exhausted from the amount of pain I was just put through. 

I drew a fireball spell behind my back and tried to shoot it at him. It grazed his arm and he cried out in pain. He got up and grabbed me by the back of the neck. He took the chains off and led me to another room. He took a glass vile with a small black splotch of goo in it. "Grom..." I muttered under my breath. He threw me into the room and smashed the vile in there, shutting the door. I saw there was a window and there he stood. I backed up against the wall furthest from Grom. Grom is most known for its title The Nightmare Bringer, but Grom is short for Grometheus. Grom kept getting closer and closer to me and backed me into a corner. It latched onto my leg and my eyes turned blue for a second.

My worst fear was standing before me. It was Camilla standing right in front of me. "You are a disgrace to me. I hate you." The Grom-Camilla said. I cried and sank to the floor. James opened the door and walked in, clapping dramatically. "Bravo. Princesa is afraid of some little words." He said, putting Grom back in the vile with ease. He balled his hand into a fist and hit me hard on my temple, knocking me out. "Night Night, Princesa." He said as I blacked out.

Sorry for the late update! The chapters will alternate from short to long but will be decent as always!
