The Price Of Love

Chapter 18

EMMA'S POV.

I jumped out of bed as fast as I could, hearing the muffled screams coming from the floor above.

Tripping over my sheet, I sprang over to my door , I flung it open and ran to the elevator.

No no no. Not you too Brittany. That means I'm next.

" you got that right princess." A deep voice said aloud.

I whipped around in the elevator and immediately pressed myself up against the elevator door, pounding my fist on the buttons.

The hooded figure smirked at my attempt and reached his fingers out to grab my throat.

Pulling me closer, he laughed deeply as I choked for air.

" prepare for your worst nightmare." He muttered before something hard came down on the back of my head, and everything went dark.

I awoke hours later.

My eyes peaked open to see that I was lying on the ground of a rectangular box. I could see through the walls and what seemed to be surrounding the cage was a gold coloured force field type thing.

I struggled to stand up, but i couldn't, seeing as my legs and arms were bruised badly.

Crawling would be a better way.

I pulled myself to the side of my cage, looking through the walls in search of anything.

My eyes widened in shock and I gasped slightly.

There were thousands more cages like mine.

The worst part was that we were floating, in some weird abyss. It looked like a galaxy.

But something told me this was just a background.

There were no guards on duty but I did spot some familiar faces.

" Emma?" A voice whispered from behind me.

I whipped around and saw the cage next to me. It held Brittany, who was just as bruised up as me.

I crawled to the side and put my hand on the glass, but immediately pulled back as a shock went through my body.

" I wouldn't do that if I were you." A voice called.

" nice to see you too Lucy."

I called out.

" well it seems like these are covered in force fields." Jane called out.

I heard a snort come from Lucy." Ya, no ship Sherlock."

I rolled my eyes." For someone who just got kidnapped your pretty calm." I say, folding my arms across my chest.

I saw her stand up." Well it depends, I've been here before, escaped easily. So, yes, I am calm. You guys should be too."

She's been here before?

" what do you mean you've been here before?" Natasha asked suspiciously.

" it's a long story. If we-you get out of here alive, ill tell you. But, this is not actually a galaxy as they want you to think. This is just like a green screen, movie magic if you prefer. And we're just hanging off chains from the ceiling. We're in a warehouse not far from the Indian Ocean. It's a big base, far from civilization and there are......"

She stopped for a moment and thought." Thirty six guards outside our door as we speak. And Jordan is coming in here in three...two...one..."

The door burst open revealing the hooded figure.

" well well well."
He snarled." Look what the cat dragged in."

I stepped back in fear as well as the others.

" well Jordan your looking...different." Lucy smirked, stepping closer to the glass.

He stalked over to her and leaned towards the glass." Well well miss East. You enjoyed being here the first time so much you decided to come again."

This man was tall, probably 6ft 4 , or maybe that was his boots.

I heard her laugh evilly." Depends." She snarled.

I butt into their conversation." Umm, why do you want us here? To have revenge on the men."
I asked timidly.

We all looked at each other expecting the answer.

He shook his head and tore off his hood, revealing the rest of his head.

He had spiky light brown hair and his green eyes glinted with power and mischief. There was a long scar going over his right eye.

" no no. I want revenge on her." He growled, pointing to Lucy.

He then left the room, leaving us on our own again.

We all turned accusingly to Lucy." So were all here because of you?" Betty yelled.

She face palmed." Guys. Here it is. He's my ex boyfriend. Abusive, and self obsessed. He never was the one to love others and one day we got in a fight. It wasn't just verbal , it was physical. I sliced right where that scar is. And ya there's no reason for him to be angry, but for who I am, he should be."
