Swiftly, we were thrown into the black car, me one side and Eve at the other. The burst of adrenaline had disappeared now and all I could feel was a pulsing throb on my head, yeah I’m going to regret that alright.
Eve, annoyed still, sighed and roughly kicked the side of the door which wasn’t an easy feat in the heels she was wearing. Huh? A girl has practise. My gaze drifted to the window and I was met by jet black, great…tinted? No…you can see through tinted…this was literally pitch black, I couldn’t even see my reflection.
As I was discovering this, the two guard dogs bustled themselves into the front seats, somehow managing to look graceful the whole way. Execrated, I shook the bars that were separating me and Eve to the two lackeys to no ado. Thin and weak as they looked, they wouldn’t’ bend a centimetre no matter how hard I tired.
“Hunny, they’re vampire-proof, I honestly doubt you could get through those.” Eve said causing the taller, broader of the guards to smile to himself however this was soon overcome by Eve’s sudden, mischievous wink. What was she thinking…?
Stealthily, she took her cell out and started tacitly pressing the buttons; either the vamps couldn’t hear her or they didn’t care. I’d honestly it rather not be the latter…if they didn’t care, they must be confident. Finished, Eve pressed the ‘Send’ button and put the phone away again.
Time dragged as the car, probably going at a high speed, seemed to be going nowhere. I sighed and gave Eve a smile which she quickly returned however it wasn’t an Eve-standard smile, she knows this isn’t going to be pretty. Approximately half an hour had passed by the time they stopped the car and got out. They didn’t immediately come to the doors meaning we had a short time to talk.
“Okay…what do we do?!” I hissed, “They’re going to kill us! You know how long we have been driving! We must be a good 15 miles away from where we were!”
“Josh calm down, Michael and Shane are on their way…” Eve said, panicked by my sudden outburst.
“If we don’t know where we are then how the hell do they?” I asked. “I’m going to see where we are, then I’m goin-“ Eve was suddenly quiet by the sound of the door opening and they grabbed us. Dragging us from the car, Eve struggled and tried to kick them however I, knowing it was pointless, simply strutted with him, purposefully being slow, allowing Eve to take in her bearings.
“Okay stop! “ Eve shouted and suddenly everyone stood still. “Girl needs to pee.” She said simply, keeping eye contact with the guard holding her the whole time.
The guard who was holding me cell’s suddenly started a deep organ noise, a ringtone. He nodded and the other one pulled Eve towards a small pile of overgrowth. “One minute. That’s all you’re getting.” Turning, he let go of Eve’s arm and steadily stared at me, eye’s cold as ice. I held the glare.
Eve’s P.O.V
Smiling with delight, I dashed round the side of the tree and took out my cell. Rapidly pushing I spent 40 seconds of the allowed minute texting Michael exactly where we were; thank god I knew the place. As a teenager I and my friends used to come here to this spot of warehouses, heck I came with a few guys before. I shuddered at the memories and walked out again, pretending to zip up my trousers.
We have around…I’d say five minutes before Michael gets here and a further five for Shane, I don’t think Michael could fight these guys on his own to be honest. They seem…trained, perfect apex predators.
I was surprised to find, I wasn’t bothered about what I did to my brother. After all the years of, grief, pain and hurt he gave us it was more of a relief. The only reason I hoped he wasn’t dead was for mine and Jakob’s sake.
Jakob’s P.O.V
Out of my peripheral vision I noticed Eve come back ‘zipping up her trousers’ and I grimaced, man she’s hot. Shaking my head, I walked up to her, trying to make it look causal and grabbed her hand. Pulling her towards me, I heard her faintly whisper ‘Five minutes’
‘Hopefully we can hold out that long’ I thought as the guard whose cell had rung came back. He snapped the phone shut and smiled a cruel, vile, twisted sneer.
