To Become King (Book One)

Eight: You Stupid Girl

*Rule 8*
Human trafficking is extremely frowned upon.

Two Weeks Later
It was black.  Pitch black.  I couldn't see anything.  I could feel myself being suspended from the ground and the metal that bound my wrists and feet together.  My heart pounded in fear as I screamed out for Knight.  No response was heard.  There was nothing but the sound of my own voice echoing back to me.  I struggled to get free, but it was no use.  Despite my stirring headache and my quick-paced heart, I tried to calm down.  Wherever I was, I had to stay calm.

My ears perked up when I heard the sound of heavy footsteps nearing me.  I could feel two hands on my hips, stopping me from struggling. Something was different, my body felt almost completely bare.

"They said you were beautiful, but I didn't quite believe them."  It was a different man.  The voice didn't belong to Knight or Josh.  Who was this man? I felt like I was about to hyperventilate. Knight warned me about men like this. He warned me that men were after me.

"Let go of me!" I growled at him, struggling to get free of his grasp, but he held me there.

"No need to struggle, Dear. I'm enjoying the show enough as it is." He let out a dark chuckle and removed the blindfold from my eyes. His face was inches from mine. He had red hair and hazel eyes. I looked down to see that I was left in my underwear and gasped when he started to kiss my neck. "You're reputation doesn't do you justice, Dear. You're much more charming than they say. It's no wonder Knight has taken such an interest in you."

"You're wasting your time. Knight doesn't give a fuck about me!" I yelled at him which only warranted a slap across my face on his part. I winced when he gripped my chin and forced me to look at him.

"I don't believe that for a second. It's only a matter of time before Knight comes to collect what's his." He smirked. "When he does, I'm going to kill him and become King, but first, I think I should play with you."

Knight's P.O.V~
"How the fuck could you let this happen?!" I growled at my best friend as we sped down the highway.  We were way over the speed limit, but I was focused on getting to her. I wanted to rip apart whoever kidnapped her. No one steals from me.

"I-I'm sorry, Victor." He said, using my first name. "I turned around for one second and she was gone."

"Well, she's never going anywhere with anyone, but me! I can tell you that's for fucking sure!" I hissed at him. I put the car on autopilot when an incoming message projected from the center console. It was a live video of her, hanging from the ceiling by her wrists, in nothing but her underwear. She was slightly bruised like someone had been beating her. 

It would have been arousing if it was just the two of us, but because some asshole kidnapped her, I only got more upset.  "What the hell?!" I snapped. "Kitten, can you hear me?!"

Her head perked up at the sound of my voice.

"Knight?" She questioned.

"We're coming to get you, Grace," Josh spoke up.

"No, no, no!" She replied quickly, struggling to break free of her chains.  "Don't come!  It's a-"

The video cut her off when it switched to the man behind all of this.  It was a man with red hair and hazel eyes. A man who'd been a pain in my ass since two years ago.

"Luke Barnes!" I narrowed my eyes at the man on the scream, who only gave me a smirk in return. "I should have known a level 7 would have been behind something so damn stupid! I'm going to kill you for even laying a finger on my Princess!" I changed the controls on the car to increase the speed.
