Always And Forever

The Deal

Chapter Ten

Lue, Klaus, and Stefan were in the four-bedroom suite that Lue had compelled for them. Klaus was, as usual, pacing. It had been five hours since she had talked to Lucy. She called and texted with no answer and was worried.

" What could be taking them so long? " Klaus growled.

Before Lue could say anything her phone rang.

" Lucy! Where are you guys? "

She's gone Lue, they took her. I couldn't stop them.

Damn it! " Where are you? " Lue asked frantically.

I'm in Sevierville about twenty minutes away at a rest stop. Please hurry I've lost too much blood to use my magic.

Lue hung up and grabbed Klaus' car keys from the table. " You heard. No time. Be back soon. "

Twenty-three minutes later she pulled into the rest area on route 441. There was only one car and she knew it was Lucy. Rushing to her car she saw that Lucy wasn't in it. She vamp sped into the restroom and saw so much blood.

" Lucy! " Lue screamed following the trail of blood. When she got to her friend she was barely breathing. Her face vamped out and she bit into her wrist and put it up to Lucy's mouth. " Drink. Please. " She begged.

Lucy tried to turn her head away but was too weak. " Don't you dare give up on me girl! " Lue yelled.

Finally, she was able to get her to drink. After a few minutes, her breathing improved and Lue felt that it was safe to move her. She carried her to Klaus' car and got her into the passenger seat.

" My bag. It's in the trunk. " Lucy moaned.

Lue went to her car and got the key out of the ignition and opened the trunk. She grabbed the duffle then went back to Klaus' car, got in, and made her way back to Gatlinburg.

" They took her Lue. You have to find her. "

Lue looked at her friend sadly. " I will. Let's just get you to the hotel so we can get a locator spell done. " She said pulling out her cell and dialing Klaus.

Hello, love.

" I found Lucy, she was almost dead. They took Einahnna ( Eh-Nah-Nah ) and we need to find her before they get too far away. " She said hanging up.

When they got to the hotel Lucy is feeling stronger and is walking by herself. Lue knocks on the suite door and they're let in by Stefan. Klaus is sitting in an armchair with a glass of scotch. When he sees them enter, he stands.

" Lucy so nice to see you in one piece love. " He says almost mockingly.

Lucy glares at him. " Can it hybrid. " She snaps and grabs her duffle and sets it on a table.

Klaus holds his hands up. " So the little wolf has been taken. Shouldn't be too hard to find. "

" Not hard at all. " She says taking a cell from the duffle and cupping it in her hands.

" You need something personal to find her. Do you think that's good enough? " He asks.

Lucy and Lue roll their eyes. " She's a seventeen-year-old girl... Her cell is her life. "

The chanting begins and she lets go of the phone as it floats. When the spell is done it drops to the table.

Lucy looks up at them. " I know where they are. "

Einahnna is thrown into a small cage and left in the dark. This is so not how things were supposed to go. One minute she and Lucy were using the restroom and the next she heard her scream and the bathroom stall was kicked open. Two men grabbed her and she was forced into their car. That was hours ago.
