Chapter 6: Help and Rescue (Part 1)

Annastacia's POV:

I awoke to the same dark surroundings. Only this time, I did not see the figure of my kidnapper. To say I was relieved would be an understatement. But, where did he go? And why does he want to see me suffer? I don't recall offending anyone, and why do I not see any injuries on myself? If I'm not wrong, I did here that dude say he wants to feed off me... I was brought out of my dilemma by a loud bang.

Drake's POV:

WHERE THE HECK IS SHE?! I'm going crazy for not seeing her for TWO FRIGGIN DAYS!!  I feel so helpless, I'm just sitting in my room not doing ANYTHING to help my beloved Annastacia! "My Prince, I have news about Annastacia!" one of my soldiers shouted loudly after barging rudely into my room. I should be angry at him for his rudeness but I needed desperately to hear about the news.

" We have located Annastacia's location, we picked up her scent after going past a forest during one of the search missions. We also picked up some shreds of her clothing on the forest grounds. We searched the forest and then saw a small wooden hut in the heart of the forest, it should be where Annastacia's held hostage but we did not have much people in our search party then so we decided to come back to the palace to tell you about this and to ask for back up." 

"Make arrangements immediately to recruit the best of the best vampire fighters that are available in the castle NOW!! Tell them that they should be ready and prepared in exactly fifteen minutes, I'm not going to tolerate anyone that's late! They will meet me at the front of the castle near the gates. GO NOW!"  The soldier ran off in lightning speed.

I jumped into one of my best fighting armours and loaded up my weapons along the waist of my armour. I grabbed a bottle of lanouvette ,an essence that can poison any vampire and bring them to their death slowly and painfully. I put on a pair of shiny black leather combat boots and then I was out of my room and running towards the front gates, those fighters better not be late.

Annastacia's POV:

Mr. Kidnapper came in from the front doors of the hut. I closed my eyes immediately and pretended to be asleep. I heard the front door snap shut with a thud, and then I heard footsteps that were approaching me. Each step he took got louder and louder, it seems like time had just gotten slower. Each step he took was like an alarm clock that was ringing so loudly in my ears trying to get me awake from deep slumber. Beads of cold sweat trickled down my face, my heart was thudding heavily against my ribcage as if it desperately wanted to jump out and my eyelids were trying their best to be kept shut. 

"I know your awake dear, and don't be scared, I'm not gonna hurt you...yet." Mr Kidnapper said in sickly sweet voice which made me shiver in pure fear. But I dare not open my eyes, I couldn't, my conscious wouldn't allow it. 

And then I felt a cold and hard palm hit the tender skin on my face.  My eyes snapped open in shock and I heard his cruel laugh. " No use acting in front of me, your gonna die soon anyway, might as well enjoy your last pitiful moments being yourself huh?"

I was paralyzed. Fear coursed through my veins, I couldn't move a muscle, I couldn't think.
