The Baron and his Lady

Seventeen: Witch please

"Where are we going Emma?"

"Shut your hole and get in the car." She pointed the knife at me. I dared not disobey.

I duck down and settled on the backseat hands still bound. Atleast she didn't gag me.

She went around the car and opened the trunk, something heavy fell and she closed the lid. Without further ado, she sat on the driver seat and drove away.

I looked back and saw the manor sitting still, preserved prefectly. Ghostly and beautiful at the same time. No one stirred. I hope dad was okay.

Emma was whistling. This could be bad. In the movies if the bad guy was in a good mood you're in for a surprise. Either I end up dead or I overpower her.

"Are you planning how to escape sweetie?" She stared at me thru the mirror.

I met her eyes fiercely, "You bet."

Her wicked laugh rang again. Oh how I hated it!

"Don't even try anything stupid. Just cooperate and everything will end well. We can put this behind us and go on with our lives, back to normal."

"You're not even normal, Emma."

"You think so?" She was taunting me obviously. And I'm not falling for it.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Oh, just somewhere far from that bloody house."

I ignored her after that. My eyes strained to see beyond the dark glass. We were still driving thru the dirt road, that means she 's not taking me somewhere I could possibly ask for help. The property was desserted and no other house was around.

Except for one. The Kelly's.

But I've never been there. I don't even know where exactly it was. We didn't have the chance to drop by after our trip from the forest. Oh my god, he went out after Dad was attacked.

"What have you done to Tristane?"

"Your little boyfriend's a headache sweetie. He was taller you know, I had to use the element of surprise to get to him."

I felt rage creep into my face.

"Relax. He's alive. You look dangerous when provoked."

"If you hurt any of them I'll-"

"You'll what Krista? Hmm? Seriously, drop the bravery act. You and I both know I'm in control here."

"And you want that, don't you Emma? Always in control?"

"You bet." Her smile was blood curling.

She continued to drive for about another five minutes before finally parking in a secluded area. The engine was shut off and she was out the car.

I could hear gravel outside, that means we might still be near the dirt road. Then I can follow it back if I can run from her. But she's got the car.

I rolled my eyes. Is there no escaping her at all?

"Get up!"

I heard her opening the trunk and a grunt followed her words. She had someone in the trunk? This entire trip?

I twisted to see but the trunk was raised and I couldn't make out.

"Now open the door." She ordered the person.

I felt the chill crawled thru my spine as I stepped out.

"Tristane!"

He was holding the door open and was very disheleved.
