Stella landed nimbly on the grass, "OK,judging by that lighthouse up ahead, I may be due east of the coast, probably by a cliff side, the emergency safe house is thirty miles due west, and there's probably a fishing village a couple of miles away,village it is"She calculated and began a steady jog to the curls of smoke rising in the nearest direction,
Dan's POV
We're at the underground base, Isabella is in her room,I feel so...empty, I wonder how my Sweetheart is doing? That Bast*rd Raphael must be doing the worst of things with her,
right now my babe's probably in his torture room, when I was six he took me, he put me down there within the first night, he used a riding crop to hit me and carved a triangle with a square on my shoulder fortunately the gang got me out, but since then he's been furious, I clenched my fists, I swear if he brands my girl I will kill that son of a.... "Dan!" Nate said, snapping me out of my trance, "yeah?" I asked, "Matty wants to talk to you,in the study."Nate said,
Nathan's POV
Why?
That's all I was thinking of,
Why?
Skylar and Stella were good people, they didn't deserve this, ten years ago Dan was taken, he was a defenseless six year old, it was the first time Stella ever lashed out, and after a barely successful rescue mission, we saved him,he was beaten black and blue, there were bruises on every inch of skin and deep cuts and slashes all over his tiny body, and his arms,legs,nose and shoulder bones were cracked and broken, he couldn't talk without choking on blood, we found him chained in the torture chamber, crying.
If that could happen to a six year old boy,what'll happen to two teenage girls?
"Nathan?"Matty called, "yeah?"
"Get Daniel please, I want to see him,I'm in the study,".
I found Dan in his room,lost in thought,I delivered the message,
Stella's POV
(A/N who's enjoying the POV changes? :)
I reached the village, I ventured further, there are some men sitting around a campfire, maybe they can help? I neared them and overhead their conversation,
"I hear the boss got two new dolls," one said,
"Did you hear? one escaped," another said
"Raph has awesome taste, check this one out," the man who spoke first said,
I can hear catcalls and low whistles,
"She's got it going!"
"Her black hair's so long and shiny!"
"That pale skin..perfect for hickeys!"
"Those green eyes..they're so big!"
"Check out the chest!"
I held back a gasp,pale skin? green eyes? Black hair?
It's Skylar! I put a hand over my chest, he's advertising Sky! I took a step back and didn't see the black cat behind me, it hissed, crap, my cover's blown, "who's there?"one yelled. "I have a gun!show yourself!" He threatened and fired one at the cat, I slowly stepped out of the dark, "who's she?"one asked, "who are you Blondie?" He asked and pinned me up on the wall, the others circled me, "let me go!"I yelled and kicked the one holding me where.....where the sun doesn't shine, he cursed and fell,dropping me, I picked myself up and ran.
The streets are dirt paved,
Finally there's a tavern up ahead and I think I lost them, it's open and there's barely anyone in here, only a person at the counter
********
Stella swung inside and went up to the counter, the woman there straightened her outfit and smiled at Stella, "welcome to the trackside tavern/inn . how may I help you?" She smiled,
"I need a phone and room,"Stella said, the woman led her up a flight of stairs to a bedroom and bathroom, there was a telephone on the nightstand,
"the fair's $20 per night" the woman informed her, Stella checked her emergency cash and had $120,00. She have her the money and the woman left,
Stella rang up Matty
"Hello?"Matty asked
"It's Stella."
"Elly!are you alright? How's Skylar?"
"She stayed back because she knew that we can't possibly leave together,"
"So she's still under Raphael's mercy?"
"Unfortunately yes"
"Where are you?"
"At a tavern, in a fishing village near Raphael's mansion, it's called trackside inn/tavern"
"Very well. Now we'll send a car for you, in the meantime freshen up,"
"Will do .bye"
"Bye,"
Stella took a shower and brushed her hair, 'soon I'll be reunited with my family and we can save Sky,' Stella thought happily
