Hidden Joy

Seventeen

She shook her head and turned away from him. She heard a click followed by a high pitch scream from the room next door. She snapped her head toward him and puckered her lips. The scream stopped and he planted his lips to hers. She jerked away from him and he chuckled.
" You always did like playing shy. No need. You must remember Rodger. He was our biological son." He sneered at her.
Rodger? Rodger was here? No way.
"Dad, I think she's thirsty." Rodger said softly.
" No. I'm not. I'm fine." She said calmly. "What do you want from me?"
"What should have been mine all those years ago. You know. That little secret that you don't want your precious friends to find out." He sneered, " And they won't, if you do as I say. They can hear everything we say." He smiled, "Rodger, kiss your bride. Before the end of the next three days you'll have married her."
"I won't marry him. I won't marry him. I don't care if they find out I had an abortion at eleven when you raped me and got me pregnant. You are one sick monster. No wonder Lorane left you." She yelled.

He watched as Mattew fell to the floor in pain. He had wondered what was happening. But no one knew. Marissa called her brother Havers in and they waited on his say.
"Well it seems that his bond to his mate is strong. He can feel her pain. Every episode is due to her pain. Has anyone else felt this pain before?" He asked them.
"I did. A short twinge in my leg like I was shocked or something. But that's it." He said.
"Your bond hasn't fully attached yet. But your feeling her pain. If you want to find these girls. Focus on that. The pain will lead you to them... I hope. As they have your blood. Their blood is in you. You can use their blood as a compas to find them." Havers said to them.
Vishous gasped, "The leaders were a cover. They were working for Someone. Someone who is evil and out for Phoenix and a... A baby." Vishous said before he collapsed back into the chair.
No one moved. No one said anything for a minute. My blood is in Bianca. I can trace her there. Take back up of course and have three or four buses waiting for them for Jane." Mattew said suddenly.
"I would need more help than just myself. Havers and Elhena would suffice. Please go rescue our girls."

The smell of blood woke her. The taste of it filled her mouth. She opened her eyes and saw that it was Rodger that she was feeding on. She held her breath and released him. She left his wounds gaping so he bled all over himself. She watched him struggle to stop the bleeding. She silently worked her wrist restraints loose and held still as he tried to figure it out. She was tired after feeding usually but this time she felt sickened. She lowered her head and pretended to be asleep. She heard the door open and the heavy footsteps come back in.
" What have you done boy? At this rate you won't give me that child I want." He growled. SHo clean yourself up. Have the leaders deliver the bodies to the designated spots."
Bodies? Had he killed them while she was asleep and feeding? She wanted to lash out. She wanted to scream. She wanted to fight but she knew that she would die too. She would die before she bore one of their children. She would die before she ever let them near her body again. She was angry at the thought that she got her friends murdered. If it hadn't been for her she would never have known. She remained still.
Nalla, Bianca, Sage, I will miss you all. I will avenge you. I will rip their throats out and burn them alive. I won't let them get away with this.
