Die For Something Beautiful

Chapter Twenty Five

Amara's POV
I continue to pace back and forth in the room I had woken up in. I need to figure out some way to get out of here and to stop Drake from doing whatever he has planned. I try the door that leads into the hallway but find that it is locked. Crap. I look around the room and see a window and I walk up to it. Thankfully the window was unlocked but when I open it and look down, I noticed that I was on the third story. Well, there goes my plan of leaving out of the window, out the window. I start looking to see if I can use anything in the room to make a rope of some kind. I notice a tapestry on one of the walls and go over to it so I can take it down. As I lift up one side of it, I notice an outline of some sort on the wall. I move the tapestry some more and see that there is a door behind it! Talk about a stroke of luck. I turn the knob of the hidden door and thankfully find it unlocked. I go through the door but not before I scan the room one final time and spy a small flashlight in one of the cabinets. I grab it and walk down the corridor.

The corridor is dark and slightly damp. I wonder if anybody, namely Drake knows that it exists. I certainly hope not. I continue walking down for what seems like hours when I find a small alcove. On the wall in the alcove, is a small box with a small handle in the middle. Against what is probably my better judgement, I walk up to the small box and pull on the handle. Two small ovals appear and when I look at the box, which I now realize is actually a door, I see two painted eyes. What I opened must been a peephole of some sort. I decide to look through the peephole and look into a meeting room. There are multiple people, probably all vampires, sitting around a large table. At the head of the table is Drake. They appear to be making some sort of plan and I listen in to see if I can figure out what they are talking about.

"Sir, with all due respect, how do you even know that the Kings will even come here and try to rescue her? How do they even know where we are? The house is very well hidden and protected." A random guy in one of the chairs asked Drake.

"Oh they will come. I know they will. King Remington loves her and will do anything in his power to get her back. But little does he know what will be waiting for him once he arrives. All of us and the rest of the Noctu Morte will be waiting for them and will attack them the moment they walk in. They won't know what hit them. The Kings will be dead and the crown will be mine."

"And what of the girl?"

"Oh, don't you worry about her. I'll take care of her."

I back away from the peephole with a look of horror on my face. I can't believe he is going to do that to Rem and the boys! I have to warn them! And what does he plan on doing with me? Whatever it is, he won't get away with it.

Remington's POV
I stare in shock at them. I was hoping she would've had her phone on her but this explains why she hasn't been answering. "Have you guys looked through it yet?" I ask them.

"No, we wanted to wait until you got here to do that. Do you want to unlock it, Rem?" Sebastian asks me.

"Is Nutella my favorite food group? Of course I do! Give it to me." He hands me Amara's phone and I instantly unlock it. Her Home Screen is a picture of the two of us that she took while we were having a movie marathon one day. I scroll through her photos, but there is nothing that could help us find her. I then decide to go through her text messages and see if there could be anything that could help. The last text message that she had sent was to Drake. It read, 'Thanks for sending me your address. I'll try and stop by some time next week.' Oh my god. I scroll up a bit and find that he did in fact send her his address.

"Guys! I think I found something! Drake had texted her his address. It seems like the two of them were going to meet up there some time next week." I let the three of them know.

"Oh my god, really? And you're not, y'know, jealous that they were going to hang out?" Emily asks me.

"No I'm not. We have a very trusting relationship. We trust each other." I look at Emily with a look on my face, that screams "come on now". I look back down at Amara's phone and feel a sense of sadness well up inside of me. My eyes start to burn as tears well up in the corners of my eyes and my throat starts to hurt as a sob threatens to escape. I close the phone and turn away from the three of them. But Sebastian has other ideas when he walks up to me and puts his arm around me and pulls me into a side hug.

"Everything will be alright Rem. We will find her. She will be safe. I promise you. And if anything happens to her, I will help you in anyway that I can." Sebastian says to me.

"As will I." Emerson chimes in.

"Me too." Emily replies.

"Alright, well let's get to wherever Drake is and save Amara." I say to all three of them. We begin to formulate a plan. The plan consists of Sebastian, Emerson and I going through the front doors as if we are surrendering while Emily and a bunch of other Soldiers will enter the building from the back and ambush Drake and the Noctu Morte. Hopefully we will be able to catch them all by surprise and we will be able to save Amara. Because I don't know what I would do if something happens to Amara. After our plan is formed, we call the other Soldiers and inform them of what is going to happen and where they need to go. Once that is done, the four of us continue to walk towards where Amara is.

Guess who's back? Back again? It's me! I'm back! It's a Christmas miracle! I am sosososo sorry for taking so long to update. If I am being honest, I had lost interest in this story. I had actually debated on putting it on hold or possibly even discontinuing it all together. But then, I was inspired to continue writing it. I hope everyone is staying safe since we are still in a pandemic(p.s wear a mask!) I also hope everyone liked the chapter! I'll try my best to get back to a regular updating schedule.
