Recap

Aislin's POV

Seth then became so silent I thought he froze up but when I looked back at him, he seemed to be debating on it. I smiled reassuringly and a little sadly at him, "Go ahead. Choose Angel." I whispered. Seth swallowed, "I...I..." Blake sighed impatiently and pulled Angel up by the hair which made her cry in pain. Seth flinched and Blake's next question was probably the hardest question that Seth had to choose:

"What will it be? Angel or Aislin?"

Aislin's POV

I swallowed and waited for Seth's response. Sure, I wanted him to pick me so I could see how much he cared but I did care about Angel so I wanted him to pick her. I wouldn't let her die because of me. So as I waited for Seth to speak, Blake entered another sentence before shutting up to hear his response, "And don't say 'It's not them you want, it's me' because dude I don't want you. As much as I'd love to kill you and have sweet, sweet vengeance, I want Aislin. So hurry up and pick because I'm about ready to hack your sister into pieces."

As he said this, Angel's eyes widened in fear and a rough, vicious growl escaped from Seth, "You sick bastard." He muttered and looked into my eyes. "I love you, Aislin. With all my heart." I felt tears sting my eyes but held them back, "I love you too." I managed to choke out. Seth sighed, leaned forward to press his lips against mine, for what it might be perhaps the last time, and pulled away, "I choose Angel."

Blake let out a howl of laughter, as did his buddies, and shoved Angel into the middle of the opening before being at my side in a flash and grabbing my arm roughly. I scowled at him and he sqeezed tighter once Seth had rushed over to Angel and scooped her up in his arms. She was crying uncontrollably. Blake pressed his lips to my ear, which made me shudder in revulsion, and whispered to me, "You're not going to get away this time, sweetie. You're all mine now." I felt nothing but hatred towards him and spat straight in his face once I repeated Seth's words icily at him, "You sick bastard." Blake wiped away the spit before back handing me across the cheek and sending me to the ground.

I clutched my cheek instinctively right before Blake yanked me up by my hair which made me yelp in pain. Seth looked over at me and growled at Blake, "You won't get away with this." Blake rolled his eyes and pulled my hair harder and I felt tears sting my eyes. "Really? What are you going to do? Bring another one of your buddies along so we can just kill him again? That's seems like a pretty stupid idea." He smirked. Seth let out a growl which only increased Blake's humor. He then tied a heavy metal chain around my hands, a gag around my mouth and eyes and pulled me against him, "We'll be in touch." Blake hissed evilly before sending me into unconciousness.

3 hours later

When I woke up I was in complete darkness and something raw and disgusting was in my mouth. That's when the last events flooded into my memory and I realized I was wearing a blind fold and a gag. I tried to scream but, after noticing how dry my throat was, it came out as a rough groan and I struggled to get the blind fold off. "Don't bother, Aislin. You won't be able to take it off." A deep voice I knew all to well of whispered next to me.

I felt myself jump in surprise and my head banged against something hard. I moaned in pain and fell back down again. "Oh Aislin. Silly, clumsly little BlueBirdy." Blake cooed. I winced involunarily at the name he used. He hadn't used it for a long time. He and Whitney had given me the nickname when we were about seven when they saw me watching some blue birds and talking to them as if they understood me. It stung to hear him call me that now.
