Chapter 6: Finding Lost Things

Juliana's POV

Dean was speeding. But I didn't care. All I could care about was my sister, who I currently couldn't find and couldn't even say for sure is alive.

I could only hope she was okay. Of course, I was worried about Sam and his well being as well but I knew that Adriana wasn't a fighter. She was capable of fighting, yes, but she didn't enjoy fighting like I did. She preferred to do things the nicer way, which was usually the harder and required planning things out.

Because of this, she got hurt... a lot. And she wasn't as good at controlling her powers as she or I would like. I hoped she was using them now with hesitation.

I hoped she was giving those assholes who took her hell.

Adriana's POV

My eyes flew open and I quickly sat up, groaning as the pain hit me. My head was pounding and my chest was on fire. I felt like I had a thousand knives stabbing me over and over. I turned my head slowly and I could just barely see Sam's unconscious form hunched over by the wall opposite of me.

The room we were in was cold and dark. My legs and arms had shackles on them. Each shackle has about 2 feet of chain securing me to the wall. I could only assume the same could be said about Sam.

"...S...aaa...?" I tried to call to him but my throat was try and scratchy. How long had I been out? "Saaa...aaam?"

"I'm.... I'm here." A deep, dry voice wheezed. Relief flooded my body. Now I knew he was still alive at least. "I-I didn't catch your name before...before all this crazy shit h-happened."

I let out a breathless laugh. I had only spoken to Sam for a minute at best before we were jumped and knocked out by the two men. I learned Sam's name from when I spoke with Dean in the bar. Sam, on the other hand, just so happened to already be outside when I went to get some fresh air.

"A...Adri..." I coughed and cleared my throat best I could. "Adriana. I m-met your brother right before I-I met you..."

"Before all th-this shit happened." I heard Sam let out a shaky sigh. "Don't worry. M-my brother can be slow but he'll d-definitely find us."

"And my sist-" A big metal door across from the both of us swung open and one of our attackers walked in. It was Eric. The green-eyed one  with dark, messy curls and a glare that sent chills down my spine. His lips were pressed in a thin line as his eyes scanned the room for fowl play. Then, he scowled as his eyes landed on me.

Eric did not look happy at all. I just hoped he wouldn't do something drastic as revenge for the stunt I pulled on him before.

Manny was behind him with his arms folded and a bored look on his face. His mousy brown hair was combed back and his hazel eyes seemed duller and tired. I noted the stubble he was growing and the bags under his eyes. When his eyes met mine, he stiffened and frowned deeply.

Eric immediately walked over to me. I held my breath and I couldn't help but notice Manny glanced between Eric and I. He had the same coldness in his eyes that Eric had, but, I noticed something else... could it be fear? That alone told me that Manny was definitely not the one in charge. But it also told me that I had fucked with the wrong person in that duo.

I looked up at those cold green eyes as he towered over me. I was trembling but I kept eye contact and tried to keep my breathing as steady as I could. There was no way I'd let this man know he was terrifying to me.

With a growl, he grabbed my face and pulled me forward.

"I'm gonna make you pay for what you did earlier, Adriana." I gasped. "Yeah, that's right. I fucking heard you. And I hear your little boyfriend's brother is coming to the rescue." Eric shot a look at Sam, who had lifted his head and was glaring daggers at him. Manny watched with a smile.

I turned my head to the side and tried to shake Eric off. Suddenly, I felt a burst of pain spread across my jaw as he punched me. Tears formed in my eyes and I could hear Sam hollering and cursing violently for him to leave me alone.

"Manny, shut him up." Manny quickly obeyed, giving Sam a swift kick to the gut and a good punch in the jaw. "Listen here. I'm only saying this once. Look at me when I talk to you, do as you are told, and don't you ever invade my mind again. Not only will I make you suffer, I will make your boyfriend suffer as well. Am I clear?"

I trembled and considered putting up illusions in both of their minds, somehow tricking them into releasing us from ,these chains and shackles. But I heard Eric's body shift and I quickly nodded.

"Okay," I said softly. "Why are you doing this?"

All I heard was a chuckle as both men left the room again.
