"What the hell happened?" I groaned opening my eyes as I sat up. Looking around the room, I stiffened drastically when I noticed the unfamiliar room. Maybe I'd fallen asleep in another room in the manor?
Slipping slowly out of the bed, I walked to the door and went to leave the room before colliding with an invisible wall. I recoiled back when I felt a sharp sting as I came into contact with it. Stepping back, I inched my hand cautiously towards it before pulling it sharply back when I felt the same sting again. What the hell?
Raising my hand, I began to chant before cutting myself off when I heard a familiar voice croak, "I wouldn't so that if I were you, it'll only rebound the spell at you."
Turning on my heel I stopped at the sight of someone chained to the radiator. Walking hesitantly towards them, I looked down at the chains and recognised the material instantly. Vervain.
"Look up at me," I said quietly, crouching down to their level. They looked up slowly and I gasped. Caroline. "What did they do to you?"
Tracing the cuts on her face, I attempted to heal her but I found my magic useless. The room had been made magic proof.
"They kidnapped me," She said slowly, her voice raw.
"They? Who are they?" I demanded, staring down at her vervain chains.
"I don't know." She closed her eyes and let out a low hiss and I knew that the chains were biting into her skin.
"How long have you been here Care?"
"A few days." A voice from behind me answered.
Rising quickly to my feet, I stalked towards the entrance of the room and peered out at the two people on the other side of the door. Glaring out at the two identical boys on the opposite side of me, I looked them over, scoffing slightly. There was no way that these two had managed to kidnap Care, they looked as if they had newly found their powers. They'd be weak and have no idea how to control their powers but rather their powers would control them.
"And why has she been brought here?" I asked, crossing my arms over my chest, my voice displaying my barely restrained anger.
"She's just a little reminder of what could happen if you don't do as we ask." Tweedle Twit said slowly and I raised an eyebrow mockingly.
"Oh really and what exactly is it that you want my help with?"
"We need you to bring someone back from the dead." Tweedle Twat spoke, leaning casually on the balls of his feet.
Letting out a derisive laugh I took a step closer to the invisible wall, noting them flinch at the movement. "Now why would I do that?"
