I soon did find out why they kidnapped me. They wanted my blood, literally. They wanted to take my blood because the blood of a Pure-Blood elf would give them more power. It was the only blood that could do this for any magical creature. There was no limit on this power, no time limit like pixie dust. And it was compatible with any fae, any blood type. Even a human could use it and gain magical powers. Well that was what I thought I'd heard them saying at some point between the car and the dark room. If I'd heard wrong, then my guess would be that they wanted my blood because they knew about the iron immunity that Pure-Bloods have.
As I lay all but paralysed in either fear or pain, a thought flashed through my mind... I wandered if that was how my parents had died.
For this.
For some other greedy monster sucking the life out of them for their own benefit.
I thought about the fact that someone would stoop so low, that someone could be so monstrous that they could kill another living being for what? Power? To feel good. That's all that it brought them and it wasn't a confirmed fact anyway. If my parents had died for this... the thought made me sick to my stomach. If they had, someone had made Puck and I grow up alone. What kind of a person would do that? My heart ached to think of my parents. I wondered if they had still been alive if I would have even been in this situation. Would leaving have even ever been an option in my mind? Or would we have maybe traveled here together. I think we would. I must have been losing it to be letting my thoughts spiral out of control as I lay in some dark room, who knew where; instead of thinking of what I should... my escape.
They hadn't bothered to fix my leg, it occurred to me that it may have been to prevent me from getting away if I somehow managed to regain any strength.
They then put an injection in the crook of my arm. "Ouch." I groaned out loud by accident. "Why are you doing this?" I asked the dwarf nervously, fearing I already knew the obvious answer.
"I want your blood. All of it." He stated hardly, the greed shining through his eyes. I knew he was going to say something along those lines.
"Why? So you're just going to kill me?" I didn't do anything to him or to deserve this.
"That is generally what happens when you are drained of all your blood."
"What are you going to do when you have it in you?" I asked my voice shaking, I felt so light headed already and I wasn't sure if it was because of the fear pulsing through my veins or the fact that he had already started taking my blood and the idea alone...
"Look at how it glitters." He said showing me my blood, his eyes shone hungrily as he looked at it. Bile rose in the back of my throat and my chest constricted. "I will go capture your brother and take his blood as well. Then I will do whatever I want. Because I can then do whatever I want. I will have the power to do so." He smiled a tight, evil smile towards me. Flashing his crooked teeth and I scowled in return, pulling my head deeper into the mattress.
"Please leave Puck alone." I begged weakly, soft tears falling down my face as my heart broke. He ignored my plea, so I decided to change the subject. "How long have I been here?"
"Four days... but don't worry no one knows you were even in the mortal realm."
"What do you mean?" I had friends. Did he kill them?
"We enchanted your precious little humans so that they would forget you. Especially that one that you spent so much time with. Gave him extra." He sounded so bored as he spoke. He made Daniel forget me, my heart shattered into a million little pieces within me. All I wanted to do was scream. He just took the truest friend I had ever had away from me, he took a little sister from me and parents who loved me like their own child. The drawing Emma drew flashed through my mind, it was taped to the wall above my bed. Emma... More tears flowed as I thought more. I thought about the group and everyone I had met. That was all lost now. And I asked myself again, for what?
How long have they been doing this to me if I've been here for four days? And this is the first time I've woken up... I decided that somehow if I got out of there alive, I would definitely adopt the philosophy that the old couple had, to really enjoy life and live every moment to the fullest that I could possibly live it. You never knew how many more moments you would have, life could end in the blind of an eye.
I tried to move into a more comfortable position and then remembered that I was tied up into that position that I was already in. My leg was throbbing with pain from being pushed tightly against the other leg. I paused as he, I still didn't know his name, sat up and looked more alert. What was grabbing his attention? I tried to breathe more quietly and listen, I heard nothing. I listened more intently, I didn't bother to even try to use magic. Knowing it would kill me at this point in time if I did. Literally. I then heard the sound that made the dwarf sit up even straighter than he already was...
It was the sound of a struggle in the other room.
"Stay here." He said and left the room abruptly. The dust settled again after his hurried departure.
Like I can move anywhere even if I wanted to. I thought sarcastically.
I heard louder sounds of a struggle. I wandered what was going on out there. What if there were other people who wanted my blood that had somehow figured out where I was and now they were fighting each other for it. Why didn't anyone tell me about my bloods properties so that I would be better prepared and safer? All I knew about Pure-Blood elves I thought was fiction, the only thing I knew was true was that we were immune to iron, but I found that out myself. I would have been so much more cautious if someone had just spoken to me openly, I just thought they didn't like the mortal realm.
I had to try get out of there somehow. I leaned down and bit the needle and tried to pull it out gently. I groaned at the sting but pulled it out all the way anyway. I breathed in relief now that my blood wasn't being drained. A little stream trickled down my arm, but I assumed that it wasn't serious. The blood would now clot and close up. Leaving a small dot there for now.
I heard somthing break outside the room. It sounded like glass shattering. I assumed that something had fallen because of the struggle going on between whoever was out there.
I pulled at the ties on my wrists, they wouldn't budge. I used a little, very little bit of magic to loosen them. Weakness immediately washed over me, causing me to collapse back onto the bed. My chest tightened from the strain caused by the use of magic and the strain of everything, I could hear the struggle continuing outside. I heaved myself up, I shook violently as I pulled my hands out of the ties. I pushed myself upright. Stretching my arms and back, joints clicking as I moved. I massaged my wrists so the blood I had left would flow back into it. I then leaned down to untie my feet when the door flew open. I froze and looked up in fear, my heart beating eratically.
"Katherine." A familiar male voice said.
"Puck?" I looked up in shock. "Hunter?" My voice squeaked in relief as they walked in.
There was one more person standing behind them. He stepped forward so I could see him. My heart dropped into my stomach as I recognised those gorgeous chocolate brown eyes staring down at me with such pain and sadness that it made me want to cry.
"Alex." I breathed out and fainted.
