“Has that b****! Woken up?” Ranger questioned as he walked into the dingy room where Sienna was tied up.
The room was totally bare except for a couple of chairs and a table. Sienna was bound to one of the chairs with ropes. Her mouth was gagged. Her head was rolled to one side as if she was asleep.
“No boss… She hasn’t woken since twelve hours. I wonder if she is already dead…”
Ranger’s eyes lit up with an evil glint as he saw her eyeballs move beneath her eyelids. He crossed his arms and said, “I think so too… since she is already dead we should kill Daniel too.
Sienna’s eyes flew open and she said in a panicked voice, “No… please don’t harm my son!”
Ranger walked towards her menacingly. His lips lifted in a crooked smile and he gritted out, “I knew you wouldn’t die so soon.”
He turned to his men and instructed “You all can
Sienna’s stifled a groan as she struggled to open her eyes. They felt like they had been glued together. Drawing in a deep breath, she tried to listen carefully. The uneven footsteps of the man pacing outside pierced through the silence.Ten steps, halt, turn; ten steps… The rhythm was too familiar for Sienna's liking. She had learned to figure out Ranger’s mood by listening to his footsteps. Today he seemed beyond furious.Sienna’s mind drifted to Daniel. She had to find out a way to get out of here. She forced herself to open her eyes. Her eyes met the bare wall with peeling paint. She looked around as much as her head could turn.A metal rod lying in a corner caught her eye. If she could get to that rod, she could use it as a weapon. She tried to shift the chair like she had done earlier only to realize that she wasn’t tied to a chair anymore.Her hands wouldn’t budge and her legs were bound too. The creaking
Alaric’s heart pounded against his ribs as he reached the Wilson Port Colony. Most of it was just rubble and ruins. Out of the eleven buildings, only one seemed inhabitable.He parked the car on the main road and rushed to the entrance of the building. He tugged slightly at the large gate. It swung open with a loud screech as if it was being tortured.The wooden floorboards creaked with every step he took. His heartbeat accelerated and he took off his shoes. He didn’t want to alert the kidnappers of his presence.He trod across the floor as softly as possible. The stairs creaked and rumbled once in a while despite his constant efforts. There were four floors with several rooms. If he continued making so much noise, the kidnappers would surely figure out that someone is in the building.He halted for a moment and closed his eyes, straining his ears for any noise that could pinpoint Sienna’s location. Silence howled in his ears for a while
“Please don’t leave me alone… he will lock me up in the bathroom again… It’s so dark there… the smell makes me feel suffocated… I was so scared of the darkness. I begged him… I pleaded with him… I said I will do whatever he asks me… but he didn’t listen to me… He locks me up whenever he wants… he…” Sienna rambled between sobs as if in a trance.Alaric's body slumped against her shoulder and fell to the ground. The soft thud snapped Sienna out of her trance. Her eyes widened in panic as she saw Alaric lying on the floor.With great effort, she managed to turn him over so that he was lying on his back. She patted his face and rasped, “Alaric… Alaric… please wake up.”Her voice was so low that she couldn’t even hear it herself. She grasped his shoulders and tried to shake him awake. It was then she noticed the wound.Her hand fl
When Elliot arrived the next morning, he found Alaric leaning against the wall. His bloodied shirt was lying in a heap. Catching a glimpse of the bullet on the floor, he picked it up.A hiss escaped his mouth and he dropped the bullet. Damn! This was silver. His heart pounded against his ribs as he knelt to the floor and grasped Alaric’s shoulders.“Are you okay? He asked in a shaking voice.“Sienna made sure of it…” Alaric’s bland voice sounded. Something was not right. When he spoke Sienna’s name his eyes didn’t light up the way they always did.Elliot looked around and asked, “Where is Sienna?”Alaric lowered his eyes and stared at the floor without replying. Elliot’s heart accelerated as he jumped to his feet and trotted around the apartment calling out to Sienna. When he couldn’t find her, Elliot returned to the hall.“Damnit! Can you just say where Sienna is
Serena, The Witch of Artemia was seated on her throne in her ornately decorated castle. The long, blue, flowing gown made her look like she was riding on waves.An intricately decorated crown adorned her neatly tied-up hair. The large green jewel in her crown mirrored her green eyes making her look surreal.Her cherry, red lips stretched into a sultry smile as she saw Alpha Alaric walk in. His hair was messy, clothes were crumpled; in short he looked like he had just survived a torando.“Alpha Alaric, to what do I owe your presence?” She asked in a sweet voice.Alaric’s blood boiled, his eyes turned red and he said through clenched teeth, “Where is Sienna?”“Have people forgone all the etiquettes with the advent of the modern age? Isn’t it considered polite to dress up when you go to visit someone?” the witch commented as if Alaric hadn’t spoken anything.She flicked her wand and so
The first rays of the sun streamed in through the window illuminating Serena’s bedroom. She was seated on the large poster bed that was still made. There was satisfaction and excitement on her face.She felt giddy with joy. Alaric was hers to possess, toy around and have fun. She felt this intense desire to boast about it to someone. Her lips stretched in an evil smile. She knew the perfect person.She raised a barrier around her room and sat down in the meditating pose. Closing her eyes, she started chanting some spell.The rhythmic chanting of the spell echoed in her room for quite some time. Then, there was a flash of light and she vanished.She appeared in a large room with white walls, white floors, white roofs. It was quite difficult to tell the difference between the walls, floor, and roof. It made you feel as if you were within a large white box.A girl was cowering in a corner. Her head was buried in her hands and she was completely
“Why are you doing this, Serena?” Sienna asked in a pained voice.Serena's smirked and said rubbing her hands, “I would have said that I am taking revenge but honestly this is so much fun,”Sienna was taken aback by her answer. How could someone derive pleasure by hurting others? She glared at the witch and said, “You might be very powerful but one day you will have to pay for your deeds too. You should be more mindful of your actions.”Serena’s evil laughter echoed in the room sending shivers down her spine. When Serena finally calmed down she challenged,“Who is going to make me pay? Your weakling mate…”“You never know… Aunt Sue is a witch too. If she finds a way to get me out of here, I am sure they won’t spare you easily.”“That will never happen, Luv. Those fools are looking for you in the transition realm; the realm of where people go if th
As days went by, Serena could notice visible changes in Alaric’s behavior. He followed her orders without asking any questions. He showered her with praises. Though she knew he was flattering her for his own benefit, she couldn’t help but feel thrilled at the prospect that Alaric admired her.She had caught him staring at her on several occasions. She was convinced that he had developed a liking for her. If he passed the test, they could start afresh and she could end Sienna’s pitiful life.Her face lit up with satisfaction as she saw Alaric clean her dirty shoes. He was completely focused on the task.She waved her wand and all the shoes got cleaned instantly. A gasp escaped Alaric’s mouth and he raised his head to find Sienna stand in front of them.He jumped to his feet and bowed, “Master…”“Come and sit with me. I have an important matter to discuss.” Serena said waving her hand towards the
