The Village: Secrets Of Goldengate (Book 1)

Chapter 10.1

"Where is Emma?" I ordered. They laughed at me. "Tell me."

"And what are you going to do if we don't? " The blond one asked.

"Nick goes with, and Vicky finds Emma," Diego said. Nick nodded and he grabbed my arm, pulling me away from the vampire woman. We ran through the building until we came to a door, that we heard talking behind. I pushed it open, not bothered by who or what I found behind it. I just wanted to get Emma and get out of that dusty death trap.

When I pushed it open I saw Emma sitting in the corner and wasn't aware of the people around me. I ran towards my mum's best friend, glad that we had gotten to her in time before they hurt her. "Emma," I shouted out in relief.

But I didn't reach her someone pushed me back and I fell to the floor, which hurt. I looked up to see a man staring down at me, angrily.

"Get away from her," I heard Nick say. He rushed over to me. He helped me up and the man just smiled, looking amused.

"Got yourself a bodyguard have you? I would have thought you would have picked someone different, an adult vampire at least."

"Let Emma go," Nick said.

"And give me one good reason why we should? You got our friend locked up behind bars," another man said from the other side of the room. I and Nick looked at him.

"So this is what this is about? Your mate was attacking people so I had to do something to protect them?" Emma said.

"Whatever you will pay anyway," he said.

Nick walked towards Emma but the man who pushed me stopped him. "And what exactly do you think you're doing?"

"What does it look like? I'm untying her so I can take her away from you evil creeps," Nick said.

"What did you call us?"

"You heard me." The man punched Nick, he stumbled but kept his balance. Nick was about to hit him back when two people ran up to us and grabbed us. I wiggled to try to get free but I couldn't.

The man from the opposite side of the room walked over to us and stopped in front of me. "Don't you dare hurt her?" Emma warned.

"Like you could stop me. Your powers are not working and I am only talking to her," the man said. He then turned to me.

"I believe my friend asked you if you wanted to help us. See we think you could be a great leader and help us with our plans," he said.

"Well you were wrong," I said.

"You could have the whole world at your command?"

"I don't want the whole world. I just want people to be safe from evil people like you. What is it with you people? You're not going to talk me into joining you, in whatever evil plan you have for the world," I shouted.

He just looked at me but didn't say anything, it made me feel nervous and scared.

"Why don't you leave her alone? She doesn't want to be a part of your world domination. Why can't you get that through your thick head?" Nick shouted.

The man turned to him with an angry look and was about to hit him.

"Stop, leave him alone," I ordered but the man didn't listen. I felt so angry, first, he kidnapped Emma, and then he got his friends to hold me so I couldn't move. Now he was going to hit Nick. I had never been so angry.

"And why should I do that? If you won't join us willingly, we'll just have to make you," he said.

"He is my friend and if you hurt him, you'll pay," I replied like it would make a difference.
