A New Generation

Chapter 13: Taken

  Dylan-
  We got to the place where we fought and followed the blood trail to a little magic shop. "How can I help you two?" The storekeeper asked.
  I held my sword to his throat and he gulped. "Where is Cole and I'll spare your life." I said.
  He pointed to the door and I sheathed my sword. I tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. It was frozen shut...the girl. She was starting to get on my nerves.

  Kara-
  "You have to run! Go to the hideout." I said constantly freezing the door as Dylan tried to break in.
  "I am not leaving you here with him!" Cole shouted.
  "Then I'll make you go. Ice Make: Ice Horse." I said making a horse. "Take him to the hideout, and don't turn back no matter what he does!" I shouted.
  "Kara!" Cole shouted.
  "I can at least hold him off, you can't move on your own at all! GO!" I screamed and the horse took off running. Cole held his rib cage and they got far away. Fire heated my ice and I started sweating. I stumbled back holding my left shoulder.
  "Hello little yellow." Gipsy said. I gasped backing up.
  I bumped into something g hard and muscular. "Hello princessa." Dylan said grabbing my arms.
  I fought him trying to get him to let go. "Spray her!" Dylan shouted struggling to keep me still.
  "Nighty night little yellow." Gipsy said spraying me with a perfume bottle. I felt weak and limp, and then passed out in Dylan's arms.

  Dylan-
  "What now?" Gipsy asked.
  I held the girl in my arms. "Cole cares about her, maybe to lure him in...we use her. We go to a hidden place where no one will find us. We'll keep her in our captivity until he heals and comes after her." I said.
  "How exactly do you plan on transporting her?" Gipsy asked.
  "I have my ways." I said.
  "I'll let you do whatever and then we can go when your done." Gipsy said.
  I smiled. "You'll know when I'm done." I said and she left the room. "So many things I could do, but I know the perfect tie." I said. I stripped her clothes first and laid her on the bed. I was going to shrimp tie her.
First, I he forced her hands to face each other and grip the opposing arm. I held them there and tied a single column around her wrists and wrapped around three times.
  After this, I crossed the tail to the bight end. I continue around with the tail until I looped the bight end. Then I hung the tail over her left shoulder while I finished the cuff. I placed the bight over top of the cross formed by the loop. 
  I ran the bight end underneath the top set of lines of the cuff. I put two fingers in the loop and grabbed the bight end pulling trough. I saw how the bight end came trough the loop. After this, I tightened the cuff. I adjusted the cuff of the knot above her wrists and brought the tail across the upper part of her arms.
  Then, I put it across her chest above her boobs and to the middle of her back. I reached underneath the working line and grabbed the tail.
  I reversed the direction of the tension and went back around following the same trail. I adjusted the tension as I went so that it is even between these two lines. I ran the tail through the new bight i had made. I locked it by placing my fingers under all four strands on the opposite side grabbing the tail and pulling it though.
  I started to create the lower chest strap by reversing the tension around the center line and going around her arm just below her triceps. I placed the rope below her breasts and came back around the center line.
  To make it more effective, I pulled the rope rather than push it, to run two fingers between the upper and lower chest straps and behind the center line. I grabbed the tail with my middle finger and index finger to pull it through.
  With my other hand I reached under the center line, between the lower chest strap and the wrist cuffs, grabbed the tail, and pulled it through. This reversed the tension again and also serves to help lock this layer of the tie. I brought the rope her lower chest again following next to the line I just finished.
  I ran out of rope. I kept the tension and grabbed another rope. I draped the middle over my fingers spreading them wider and wider reaching down and grabbed the tail touching my fingertips together.
  Once I had the lark's head, I slipped it over the tail end of his working line, by reaching through the lark's head loop, grabbed the tail end and pulled through. While the lark's head was loose, I placed it where I wanted it tightening it a bit. Then I "capsized" it to create a square knot. I tested the tension by pulling... hard.
  I brought the rope back over the top of the center line and pulled it through between the upper and lower chest straps and reversed the tension again. I reached through the larger hole by the crook of her elbow, grabbed the tail, and pulled it through. I inserted the fingers of my other hand above the band, grabbed the tail trough the front beginning to pull it through. I held this same cords flat as I pulled through so that they remained flat and I could cinch them.
  I brought the tail back across her back, and cinched the other side by pulling the tail to the front through the larger hole below the lower chest strap. Then I reached through with my other hand, grabbing the tail above the lower chest strap and pulled it back through.
  Now, I cinched the top straps. To do this, I put my fingers between the upper and lower straps on her right arm. I grabbed the tail and pulled it through.
  I reached underneath the top chest strap from above, grabbed the tail, and pulled through. Then I put one finger below the strap cords to keep them flat as I pulled down slightly. Then I pulled the tail through her arm pit again toward the back.
  I reached through the front on her left arm and pulled the tail through cinching it. I reached from the back and pulled it back through again.
  I brought the tail to the center line, ran it under all the line on her right side. I tied off completely to put a TK tie on her arms.
  Once this was done, I sat her up and smiled. I put her criss crossed and tied her ankles together in that position. I ran a line through the ankle tie and then ran the tie across the back of her neck.
  I pulled the cord down towards her ankles, forcing her neck and head down, bending her spine and constricting her abdomen. I pulled her down until I saw fit.
  Once I had the tension I wanted, I ran the line from her ankles around the back of her neck a few more times so I had a wider band and was distributing the force more evenly.
  I tied off the knot with what was left of the cord holding her down in that position.
  Then I tied her wrists, elbows and ankles all together behind her back and cinched. I then tied her big toes together tying it to the bed.
I reached for the butterfly gag, put it in her mouth and inflated it. Then I used an O-ring to tie it as tight as I could around he back of her head.
I then connected the rope to the back of the butterfly gag pulling her into an extreme arch. I grabbed a cloth and blindfolded her. I slung her over my shoulders and opened the door. "You really were a hospitable host." I said to the storekeeper who was tied and displayed naked on a table against the wall. "Do it." I said.
"With pleasure." Gipsy said grabbing the gun out of my holster shooting the guy in the head. She put it back in and then we got out of the shop. She blew a kiss and it blew up the shop.
We stole a black van. I tossed her into the back of the van and drove.
We got to an old and abandoned storm cellar. It was all cleaned out and only had separate room with: a bed, a pole, a ceiling hook, a table, and a chair remaining.
  "What now?" Gipsy asked.
  "We make her as uncomfortable as possible. I'll let you do the honors, and when you need me...just holler." I said.
  "With pleasure." She said shutting the door behind her.

  Cole-
  The horse took me to the hideout entrance. I started to run back stumbling towards the shop. A foot away from the entrance I collapsed. I laid on the ground holding my rib cage.
  I stood and stumbled back to the hideout. I got inside where everyone was training and collapsed again. "Hey! Hey! Stay awake!" Hayden shouted.
  His voice sounded distorted and he was blurry. "Just hold on man." Troy said also blurry and distorted.
  I felt them both pick me up and I passed out. I woke up in a bed inside the infirmary with Scout looking at me with sad puppy dog eyes. I grunted turning onto my back. I held my left rib swallowing hard and sweating even more. "Master Cole, you are running a fever and have many fatal injuries. What happened?" Scout asked.
  I looked down. "Is he awake?" Hayden asked.
  "Yes." Scout said. The three of them came in.
  "Dude, what happened?" Troy asked.
  "A lot. With y'all out, Kara and I had to fight all the monsters. We were over worked and tired. After we beat Grinder, these other two people showed up. They weren't monsters, they were half Human-half Ectonurite. They were extremely powerful and fast. We got our asses kicked and de-morphed. After that, we fought them like this with our magic. I went fist to fist with the guy and after he said no magic he used magic really close up. Then he pinned me to the arena and starting beating the ever loving shit out of me. A nature aura popped up and burst the arena and I kicked his ass. He shot a serpent and it wrapped around me squeezing my bones until every last one had shattered. I burst free with the aura again and locked him in a prison knocking him out. I felt weak after that. Then I collapsed. Kara, she picked me up and took me to a magic shop. He had a room, and she treated my wounds." I answered.
  "That explains why you two were gone for so long." Troy said.
  "Cole, where is Kara?" Scarlett asked.
  "It all happened so fast. They came and tried to break in to take me. She used her magic to brace the door. Then made and Ice Horse and forced it to bring me here. I tried to go back, but I collapsed before I got too far. I don't know where Kara is." I said.
  They all gasped. "No." Scarlett said.
  "I'm sorry." I said closing my eyes and a tear dropped down. A real and genuine tear, I hadn't cried since I was five. She must be special if she made me cry.
  Scout put his head in my lap and comforted me.
  "What were their names?" Hayden asked.
  "The girl was Gipsy and the guy was Dylan." I said.
  "The one I fought was like that too, half Human-half Ectonurite. His name was Blade, he had claws for hands." Hayden said.
"Same. Except his name was Demon and I dyed of blades for hands he had wings. I'd have been dead if Cole didn't come along." Troy said.
  "The one that Hayden saved me from was like that too. She had wings and her name was Reya, she said she was the queen." Scarlett said.
  "It appears Dojan found some powerful humans to be your greatest rivals." Luyu said.
  I stood up pulling on my shirt. "And just what do you think you're doing?" Scarlett asked.
  "We have to find Kara, I need to find her." I said.
  "Oh no!" Scarlett said standing in front of the door that I walked to.
  "Move Scarlett." I said.
  "You are in no condition to go out at all!! You need to rest and recover." Scarlett said.
  "Scarlett...move." I said clenching my fists.
  "This could get bad." Hayden said.
  "Yeah, extremely bad." Troy said.
  "No doubt." Scout said.
  "Go lay down Cole, or I swear I'll make you lay down and then tie you to the bed!" Scarlett said.
  "I need to do this." Cole said.
  "Luyu, do something." Troy and Hayden shouted in sync.
  "This is for then to dispute." Luyu said.
  "Kara wouldn't want you going out there solo, no...she wouldn't want you to go after her at all in the condition you are in! Look in the mirror Cole! Damnit Cole, you are closer to dead than you realize!" Scarlett shouted.
  I hit my hands and knees and tears dropped down my face. I held my left hand against my left eye and Scarlett kneeled down. "I can't imagine what is going on with you right now, but I can tell you this: Kara is a strong and capable woman. She can handle herself. Just have a little faith in her, and get some rest...ok? It's what Kara would want." Scarlett said.
  She lifted me up and laid me in the bed. "We'll let you think." Scarlett said and they all left.
  'What's going on? I haven't cried since I was five...is it Kara?' I thought.
