Coming to Thalia couldn't see anything. There was something over her head. She couldn't move her hands or her feet either. At least she wasn't gagged though. So she could still talk. She didn't want them to know she was awake. She could tell she was in a vehicle. That they were moving. She could smell some of the people that were in the vehicle with her. She knew that Psyche was. She was the first one she scented. There were probably six others. However it was kind of hard to smell through the bag.
Wiggling her hands slightly she realized she didn't have much play in the chain and it rattled when she moved. Then she realized she wouldn't be able to get free. The chains were mystically enchanted. What the hell was she going to do. There was no way to get free. Not unless she could get Psyche free. Right now there wasn't any hope. When the vehicle came to a stop she laid as still as she could. She didn't want to give away that she was awake. Then there were doors opening. Then there were people talking.
"Yeah we have them." She heard someone say.
"It too was easy. I can't believe that was all it took to get her. There is no way she was surviving on her own for this long."
"Right. He acted like it was going to take a lot."
You cheated, Thalia thought. You wouldn't have gotten me without magic. Since they were out of the car she decided to try her chains again. Still no use.
"Pysche." she whispered as quietly as she could. "Are you awake?" When all that came back to her was a muffled response she added. "We will get free. I promise we will get free somehow."
Then there was another muffled response. Thalia really wished they could talk. She needed to make a plan. The only thing she could think of was to get out of the chains. Which she couldn't do at the moment. Fucking witches. Not Psyche though. Or any witches in their group for that matter. Just fuck these witches.
Then there was a sound like there was a door sliding open. "We know you are a wake bitch. We can hear you talking. Just so you know you won't be able to escape."
"Well fuck you too." Thalia responded. She didn't know why she was taunting them. However it felt like a good thing to do. The hit she never saw coming. Duh there was a bag on her head. The hit was so hard her teeth rattled. Then she was being dragged out of what she guessed was a van.
"You stupid bitch. We have you now. There is nothing you can do. We are taking you to Ezekiel." A man said.
Then she was being manhandled. She started to drag her feet. She didn't hear Psyche getting taken out of the van. No matter how hard she drugged her feet the man just kept pulling her until she stumbled over a rock. Then she smelt a faint scent of dirt and trees. Must be in the woods somewhere, she thought. At least when she got her and Psyche free there would be places to hide. Then she started to wonder if they were still in Salem. She wasn't sure how long she was out. They shouldn't be too far from Salem though.
"Where are we?" Thalia asked in a sweet voice. Then she stumbled. "Can you take this damn bag off my head where I can see? I am sure I am not supposed to be hurt."
Then the bag was being taken off her head. She was right, they were on a path. Just not in a forest. They were in a cemetery. They could be anywhere. She just hoped they were still close to Salem. There were headstones everywhere. They  were old headstones. Some of them were even falling down and sunk into the ground. It looked like no one had been there in awhile. Why the hell would they bring her to a cemetery. Maybe they were just going to kill her.
When Thalia looked behind her she saw Psyche. She also didn't have a bag on her head. However she was gagged and had her hands tied behind her back. Shit there wasn't going to be any luck there. There had to be something they could do. She just needed to get out of these chains.
When she started to walk slower the large man behind her pushed her forward. Damn it she needed to be closer to Psyche if they had any chance to get free. She needed her hands in front of her.
"Keep moving." The large man said.
"I am trying. My legs are getting tired." she lied. Then she slowed down even more. Or at least she tried to.
"Get moving. I won't tell you again."
Using her keen eyesight she started looking around again. She had to familiarize herself to her surroundings. Just in case they could make a run for it. There were some large trees. Tall grace and decrepit headstones. Not really anywhere to hide. Or anything to hide behind. Then she saw a few tombs. If they could get to one of them without people seeing that would be good. But they would have to be fast on their feet. However witches weren't as fast as vampires.
"Psyche, are you doing ok back there?" Thalia asked knowing she wouldn't get an answer. Then she glanced behind herself again.
When she turned back around there was a gathering of people. In the center of the gathering there was one of the biggest males she had ever seen. That must be Ezekiel. She had never seen him before. He was tall and bulky. He had long black hair. With a face you never would believe existed. He was gorgeous. However the evil radiating off of him took care of all his looks and bulk. You could just tell he wasn't a good male.
"About time." He said in a big booming voice. "I have been trying to get you for years. However now that I have you I don't think it was worth all the trouble. You see I now have other followers. I can breed with any of them. I do believe I will enjoy torturing you though. I know you are supposed to be special. I just don't believe you are special enough."
"Then why waste your time with me?" Thalia responded. She was sick of this man already.
"Because there is something about you that you don't know. Nonetheless I don't think I will be telling you however. You could have made my pack so strong. But the wait was not worth it."
What the hell did that mean? Thalia thought. She was just a normal vampire. There wasn't anything special about her. She decided to just stay quiet for once in her life. Maybe he would give her more information. She needed all the information that he had. Then she was even closer to him. She could see his bright green eyes. They were standing face to face. She never thought she would be this close to him. However here she was. Looking at her stalker, her kidnapper right in the face.
"You are quite beautiful though. Maybe I shall keep you. You can be part of my harem. I am already laying with four of the new women in my pack." Ezekiel said, rubbing his hand down her face.
His touch gave her cold chills. You could feel the evil emanating off of him. She really needed to get away from these people. There had to be a way for her and Psyche to get away.
"Why take me if you no longer need me?" Thalia asked. "And why take Psyche? She has nothing to do with this. All you want is me. You need to let her go."
"See the thing is we had to take her. She is so powerful. She may be even more special than you. She is one of the most powerful witches I have ever met. I have been trying to get her too. She just didn't know it like you did. Your parents just had to ruin everything." Ezekiel answered. "But we will be fixing everything tonight."
"How did you find us?" Thalia asked.
"Oh a little birdy told me. I have been getting updates about every hour. She will make sure they are led in a different direction. They will not find you. Getting you in the hallway was just peer luck. We were planning on taking you from the room after a hell of a fight."
She really wanted to know who was the informant. She could only guess though. Her guess would be Liliana. She really hoped he was lying though. Surely no one would have set them up like this. However someone had to have told him. She was sure of that. The chances were they were followed though. If it was Liliana though she would pay. She would make sure whoever it was would pay.
