The whole way -to wherever I was ending up-, I struggled to stay steady and seated -after hearing the engine and squeaking wheels, I guessed- in the car. What kind of car didn't have car seats? Why the hell were these ropes so rough and tight on my wrists?
I tried to listen in on their thoughts, my gift as a vampire when I turned fully into a vampire, to gain some kind of information. ANY information. But it was no use. My head hurt like hell after hitting it by every bump and turn on the road. And the man's laugh -everytime I hit the wall- didn't help at all. What were they even going do to me?
Torture me? Oh, god no. What if it was a plan to get to Darren? Was Darren safe if I wasn't? Were these kidnappers the same team that burned down my home and hurt Adam? Oh, if they were, I was getting out of here A.S.A.P with or without killing my way out.
When silence reached my ears, I was in a state of panic. Did they leave me here? What were they planning to do next?
Fingernails dug into my wrist, sending a jolt of pain up my arm for a brief second. I was thankful that being a vampire meant healing fast. I gave a fierce growl of displeasement.
"Take off the blindfold!" I commanded.
Instead of listening to me, they pulled on my wrist and I in agony had to oblige or I would fall and stumble on my own feet with their kind of force on my wrist, in front of me.
I heard whispers surrounding me.
"My, my, my. You are attractive" a male's voice buzzed through my ears. I could feel his presence radiate off him as it felt he was merely inches away my face.
"Untie the blindfold, NOW!" I hissed at the voice.
"Unbind" the voice said followed by a snap of the fingers.
I was surprised it didn't take a fight to put up, but instead some words that were needed to be hissed.
My eyes took every detail as I roamed my eyes freely roamed around the room.
A room. White, red, gold, black and yellow flashed in my view of the colors of surrounding furniture, then my eyes flickered at the kidnapping culprit.
A man in a black suit with light brown hair and piercing ice blue eyes, captured my sight. He sent a vibe of mischief. Like playing games was his thing he loved most to do.
"Who are you?" was the first thing I wanted to clarify on.
"I am Oliver. Oliver Carlson" he flashed perfect pointy white fangs.
"Carlson?" did I hear wrong? Did this mean he was my family? "What relationship do you have with me?" I asked.
"Ah, right. I am your uncle Harold's son" he smiled, again his fangs poked out.
"So your my cousin?" I questioned in disbelief.
All this time, it had felt family was dead to me. A foreign word. I had no family except for fake parents. And I knew barely anything about my real parents, except they were vampires, and royal ones at that. But I had no sister or brother to share my grief. A male cousin could change things, possibly.
"Yes. If that's what you're comfortable with" Oliver nodded with a pearly white smile.
I stared at him silently for a few seconds. "Why am I here? Why was I captured like an animal, Oliver?" I tasted his name in my mouth. It sounded, weird, and foreign.
Oliver. My cousin?
He gave a light chuckle. "I'm glad you asked that question, cousin" he mocked.
"Well? Are you going to answer?" I asked in annoyance. "Right now would be great" I announced sarcastically.
"Why don't I show you?" he proposed.
He snapped his fingers and suddenly the man who gripped my wrist were shoving me in a direction. I walked past an expensive looking kitchen and soon enough met face to face with a brown wooden door. Which appeared to be located under stairs. What the hell was he planning to do?
I was being forced down the stairs from one minute to the next minute. The wooden steps creaked under every step I took. And the lighting under the basement was a cloudy yellow, the scent caught my nose reminding me of cardboard material. What did they hold in here?
It had caught my attention of his intention when I saw a cell, metal gates building a cube perimeter, and the reddish brown rocks making up the wall.
The man literally threw me into the cell. Knowing he was going to lock me in here, I leaped to my feet and tried to run out of the cell. But unfortunately, this vampire was faster and closed the cell door in my face, and to put the cherry on the icing, my foot was stuck to something on the floor. My gaze snapped down to my right foot and saw a gold, strong metal band stuck to my ankle. It was bound to the shackles on the ground with bolts. I hissed at the man in anger. The vampire man, who was pale with brown unfriendly eyes and fangs that mocked his very existence, rubbed the fact he locked it with a key, and swung the key, loosely between his fingertips, in my face.
"OLIVER!" I called out in terror. "Are you insane?!" I screeched out of anger and panic.
So it was safe to assume that I hadn't found anyone worth calling family. Oliver was evil and crazy. He had a plan that involved me, and that was not good.
"Oh, hello darling" Oliver finally appeared, flashing a smile that was causal.
Darling? He was treating me like I was a kid. Practically, not even family! Especially not family, if your locking them up in a basement!
"What the hell are you planning to do to me?!" I asked in fury. "You wanna kill me? You want me dead!" I shouted in disbelief and terror.
Oliver came closer to the cage in a casual and swift walk. "No, Darling. Not at all. What I want is something you can do only if your living" he smirked.
I gave him a glare in distaste. His stare giving me an icky vibe. What the heck was he talking about? What deadly things was he willing to do to me?
"What exactly are you planning to have me do?" I asked.
"Don't worry. When it's time you'll know. In the meantime, stay comfy in here. You're gonna need to" he gave a sly smile and retreated up the stairs.
"Oliver!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. "Where the hell are you going?! You can't leave me here! I am the queen! Your cousin! We're family!"
"OLIVER!"
