Chapter 21:

Lily's P.O.V

What the hell? Where am I? I cant see anything but I can feel that I was lying on a floor. My arms and legs are spread wide apart on all angles. I opened my eyes to look at my surroundings, my vision is blurry and I feel drowsy. Four walls,with one door in front of me and no windows, was what I noticed when my eyes adjusted.There is a camera in the top right corner of the room looking right at me. Crap. These guys are professionals.

I tried my best to move my arms but they wouldn't budge. I looked to my wrists and I could see that they were bound by rope. My gaze followed the the rope to a latch connected into the walls in the far corners of the room. Both my ankles were bound as well. I tried to struggle against my restraints but nothing would work.

"There is no point in struggling" a deep voice said out of no where. I looked around and notices a small speaker next to the camera. Great so they can see and talk to me. How are you going to get out of this one Lily?!

"What do you want?!" I screamed while struggling against my restraints.

"We want what your dad owes us. Now shut up and stay there like a good girl." The voice said coming through the speaker.

What? Dad owes people money? Since when?? This is the first time I've ever been kidnapped by people this professional. Shit I'm really screwed now. Please won't someone come and save me?!

'What's wrong with you?' a voice snarled at me in my head. Woah! What the hell?

'Stop freaking out and listen to me!' the voice boomed loudly within my head.

'Okay, okay, what's the plan?' I thought to myself, perfectly knowing I sounded completely mental.

'You have had training, now breath and think about what you can do to get out.' the voice sounded so smart that it made me feel like the mental one.

Alright Lily, you know that you are losing your mind, but your mind is right. I began to twist my wrists and ankles clockwise and then anti clockwise. There it is! My right wrist, and left ankle is lose! Yes!

I began wriggling my wrist and ankle, loosening the restraints, slowly but surly. Yes, I'm so close!

Out of no where a loud buzz filled the room and the door in front of me unlocked. Crap.

"Tut, tut, tut, naughty little girl." a man walked through the door and my body instantly froze. He had a massive scar that cut deep into his right eye, and travelled diagonally across his head and into the middle of his scull.

"Now, now little girl, you better be good, or else I'll have to teach you a lesson." He spoke while licking his lips, which sent a horrid shiver down my spine. I instantly stiffened when he began moving towards me.

Slowly he walked towards my left ankle and tightened the restraint again. Fuck. I'm screwed now. He moved around my body while keeping his gaze completely on me. Oh God, please, please help me...

As he grabbed my right wrist and tightened the restraint, he put his mouth to my arm and bit deep into it. I began to scream from the pain and tried to pull away, but to no avail. He let go and snickered.

"That is your warning mark." and with that he left me there. My arm was gushing blood and I began to feel faint. Oh no, I might die... I'm losing a lot of blood.

I heard another loud buzz, with people shouting and I noticed one persons voice instantly.

"FUCK! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" shouted the one man I never thought I would hear. Harry's dad, Arthur.







Damon's P.O.V


"Alright Damon, the Scarlet gang has agreed to a non conflict meeting." Zac announced as he walked into my office. Yes, now I'm one step closer to finding Lily, hopefully.

"Don't worry Damon, they will definitely be able to help." Jarrad patted my back and gave me a reassuring smile, but I knew that behind this face he's put on for me, that he is in pain too. That's right, I'm not the only one that cares about Lily. I smiled back at Jarrad in appreciation. He is such a great friend, actually all the boys are really good to me.

Okay, Damon it's time to concentrate. I need to think of a strategy plan to escape just in case they do try to ambush us.

"What time is the meeting?" I asked Zac, awakening him from his deep train of thought.

"Ah, 5pm today at their house." Zac sounded worried, and I knew why.

"Don't worry, I've already scoped that house out a million times. I know the perfect way out." I grinned at the boys and pulled out my escape plan. The boys looked at it and laugh.

"Alright if that's how we are gonna do it, I'm in." Jarrad laughed in approval and so did the rest nodding in agreement.

Alright, we're ready for you now Scarlet Knights, you've got no idea what's coming if you decide to cross us.

__________________________________________________

As I watched the clock, it had just struck 4:30pm.

"Alright boys it's time to load up!" I bellowed out loud so they could all hear. Everyone stood up in uniform and started grabbing all our weapons to hide in the cars, just in case...

"Are you ready for this?" Jack asked, as he watched all our men leaving the head quarters. I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"Yes." I replied in full honesty, because I am ready. I'm ready for whatever they throw at us. Jack nodded at me and with that we both left the head quarters and to the cars.

That twenty minutes it took to get to the Scarlet mansion felt like a lifetime. Once we arrived, only my car, that had myself, Zac, Jarrad and Jack in it was allowed to enter through the gate. We parked up and walked towards the front doors.

A butler with a stuck up nose greeted us and guided us towards the meeting room. Jack walked through the doors first, then Zac, followed by myself and then Jarrad. As I followed behind Zac I scanned the room for people I knew.

In the very left corner of the room was a beefed up bodyguard with his hands behind his back and a security ear piece in his left ear. Directly across in the right hand corner was another security guard that mirrored the left perfectly. Sitting at the head of the table was Lily's father and sitting to his right was his wife, Lily's mother. She looked extremely worried and slightly pissed off. Why pissed off?

"Good afternoon Damon, do sit down." Lily's father gestured for us all to sit around the twenty seat long meeting table. I couldn't deny that his complete aura was intimidating to the max. Once we had seated he continued to speak.

"So, you wanted to have a meeting with us, because of the ransom note we received. Before we discuss anything I just want to know one thing. Why do you even care about Lily? She is your number one enemy and yet here you are, wanting to know more about trying to find her." Lily's father questioned me with a piercing gaze. Why did I feel like he was challenging me?

"Sir, may I call you Sir?" I asked him for approval and he nodded in response. "With all do respect Sir, I have loved Lily from the first moment I laid eyes on her. Of course I tried to resist and convince myself otherwise, because what you say is true. She is meant to be my number one enemy, but as soon as I got to know her, there was no turning back. So I guess what I'm trying to say Sir, is that I'd do anything to get Lily back. I would go to Hell and back again to kill the person that took her, or caused her to go through this." I spoke strong and firm.

To my surprise Lily's mother broke into hysterics. She stood in her chair and point her finger right at her husband.

"I BLAME YOU FOR THIS!!" She screamed fiercely at him.

What the hell is going on here!?
