Kidnapped (Monster Falls Book 1)

Test Run

They stream through the air like strings of beads, flying towards a dark destination. A respectable scientist awaits them. He is ready to uphold his end of the deal. He just wants his specimen.

~Keahi~
I was ablaze with emotions from tip to toe. Bill had me chained to his wrist by mine. I was in a sudden mood to destroy him. Alas, I was stuck, tied up. My husband seemed nervous as we descended down to our location of arrival.
"I brought them back to you like requested. I held up my end of the deal, now fulfill yours." Bill called into the darkness of the room we had materialised in.
I immediately recognised the man who stepped out of the shadows.
"Professor Luntzberg!" I cried, shocked.
"Ah, yes, Keahi Cipher, I did not think it long until your sorry face showed itself here." The tall man in a lab coat said darkly.
I trembled and looked up at Bill for support. He looked concerned.
Casting my eyes round the room, I analysed the strengths of those around me. In ways, I was thankful for this ability which was one of the few demon powers Bill had given me that I still used.
From analysis, I could tell that Bill was easily the most powerful entity in the room, no question, followed by myself, Stanford - who had an arsenal of weapons at his dispense as well as powerful jaws and claws and finally, Dipper - who appeared to have no physical upper strength but possessed strong back legs which could probably knock someone's teeth out with a hefty kick. However, much to my dismay, I couldn't see the professor's strengths. It was almost as if he were hiding them with some form of cloaking device.
I looked again, Ford and Dipper were suspended in the bubble and gagged.
"Bill?"
Cipher gazed at me.
"Hand them over then. The specimen and the traitor." Luntzberg snapped, growing impatient.
Bill's expression grew cold.
"No."
"What?!"
"I said no! The deal's off Luntz-hamburger!" He crackled.
The scientist's face snaked into a wry smile.
"What a shame..."
"Why?" I growled.
Luntzberg leant down.
"I was looking forward to introducing you to a friend of mine..." He spat.
Bill seized the professor by his neck.
"STAY AWAY FROM MY WIFE YOU DICKHEAD!"
Luntzberg dropped to the floor choking hard. He smiled again.
"Well, if you don't participate nicely, then you leave me no choice."
He gestured to the door, where a feminine figure of moderate height walked in and stood just outside the feeble pool of light cast by the lamp above, their face covered by distorted shadows.
I knew that person.
"You? B-but everyone thought you were dead!" I sobbed.
"Well, these things happen do they not?! Anyway, yes it is me. Hello Keahi, long time no see!"
