"You've got exactly two minutes. Starting now" the rude a$$ guy instructed as he shoved the phone in my hand.
I just gave him an unhappy stare and listened as the phone dialed a few times till someone picked up.
"King Oliver's home, what can I assist you with?" a female's voice answered.
'Since when did Oliver have a female secretary sounding employee? And why the f*** would anyone want to call him king?'
"Yes, hi. Could I speak to Oliver?" I asked as politely as I could.
"I'm sorry Oliver isn't taking calls for the moment" she responded just as politely.
"Tell him it's Candice" I pressed on, confident he would get back to me now.
The woman paused and held my line for a second than replied,"Wait one moment as I transfer your call"
"Thanks" I muttered as the dial tone rang twice before I heard Oliver scream on the other side of the phone.
"Where the hell are you Candice?! Who took you? Who the f-"
"Oliver!" I screamed dramatically, cutting his ranting off. "HELP OLIVER!" I sobbed for a second, then screamed at the top of my lungs as if someone was burning me. "Oliver give them what they want! They're torturing me!" I screamed again breaking into a sob. "Give them what they want!" I shouted at the mean man and he grabbed the phone from my grasp.
"I'd listen to the girl, Oliver" the stupid man taunted. "Or she just might get traumatized by the next things I plan on doing to her" the man laughed.
"What the fuck do you want?" Oliver said mad on the other side of the line.
"I want to be the best of allies again" the man responded.
"Bullshit" Oliver retorted.
"You're right" the man confessed, "I want 800 grand"
"For what!?"
"That's what I want Oliver!"
"Fine. But don't hurt Candice or I swear I'll rip ur throat out and eat ur heart!"
"As long as you give me what I want tomorrow night at the cave, there's no need for violence"
I heard Oliver hang up, emphasizing how mad he was.
"That was an excellent performance" the stupid man clapped in mockery, all his minions following after him.
I rolled my eyes in annoyance at their mockery.
"What are you going to do with me now?" I asked bored now.
"Would you like to see an old friend?" The man asked with a devil chuckle.
"An old friend? I don't have friends" I answered skeptically.
Dress shoes tapped on the floor behind me as soon as I finished my comment. A shivering voice followed.
"Oh Candice, don't say you don't have friends. Especially, when you have me"
I turned around so hard that I could've broke my neck as a human.
"Damien?" I questioned unbelievably, tears that would never come out burned at the back of my eye sockets.
He looked so much like my soul mate, Darren. Of course they did if they were twins. Except the eyes and the birthmarks.
My heart felt like it was burning a hole in my chest. I thought vampires couldn't get emotional.
"Hi Candice, missed me?" Damien smirked in a knowing way.
"Why are you trying to torture me?" I asked in sadness.
In a millisecond Damien was by my side with a hand on my left shoulder, "What are you talking about? Is my presence upsetting you?"
"Yes" I managed to choke out, feeling like I was going to cry any moment. "I want Darren" I pled.
"Darren?" He seemed displeased as he repeated the name.
"Yes. I want to be with Darren again!" I repeated.
Damien only let our a dry laugh in response. An image of the big bad wolf popped into my head as he mocked me.
I stared in confusion. I hadn't said anything funny. Not that I recalled. I was in no mood for amusement.
"Oh, Candice" Damien smirk, revealing fangs in the process. "I've got some interesting news. Depending on how you look at it" he wistfully commenced.
