Thea's POV

Midnight

Have you ever been so nervous to the point where your heart is pounding to the point that you feel as if others can hear it?

Yeah well that's me right now.

Anything could go wrong at any second.

I breath in and out before shaking my head and push those thoughts to the side.

In front of me is a tied up Jake who is badly beaten to the point that his clothes have been ripped up and you can see the open wounds that look fresh.

"Melissa, get in position. Thea should be calling us in any second" Nathan commands and I get in position next to Alyssa.

"She doesn't even know what's coming" Grayson scoffs and I smile but they can't tell because of the face mask I'm wearing along with a hat.

Good thing me and Melissa can pass off as sisters.

I'm still looking at Jake and I see him start to awaken.

"Finally, the sleeping beauty is awake!" Grayson says standing in front of Jake.

"You know what we're planning don't you?"Grayson taunts "we're going to kill your sister-"

"No we are not going to kill Thea" Nathan states.

"Aren't you forgetting who wants her all to himself, son" Nathan says with looking pleased with himself.

"I can't believe that I had to stand being around them" Alyssa says looking over at Jake with so much hatred in her eyes.

That is when Nathan's phone rang and he picks it up hooking it to the the TV.

All you see is the back of big office chair facing us.

Third persons POV

Mason wakes up to find that Thea has gone making him jump up to his feet looking all around for her.

He finds nothing.

He starts to dress quickly sprinting all the way back home.

When he enters he sees everyone in the living room including the kids watching the TV.

When he turns to see what they are looking at he sees Alyssa, Nathan, Grayson, Silas, Melissa and a beat up Jake tied to a chair looking at a screen that shows an office chair facing them.

Meanwhile Andy and Luke are shouting orders at their best men and women to raid the warehouse Thea is in right now.

"Jefferson, you and your group take the left side of the warehouse-"

"Miss me?" Someone says making them both freeze as they turn around.

~~~

"Let's make this quick. What do you want in exchange for Jake, Nathan?" Thea's voice ask through the screen.

"If it we're 28 year old me I would have asked for the journals but then I realized the Castillo's secret weapons. The daughter of the great Reaper, I want you" Nathan says.
