The Mistake | Colby Brock

Chapter - Forty-Interupted

Cassie's pov
I lost my senses for a second. I couldn't feel, i couldn't talk. I was falling into nothing. I let out a silent scream as colors flashed around me , then i was quickly filled with darkness. I closed my eyes as a stinging feeling came to my forehead, almost like i hit my head on something hard. I look up to see i'm in a dark void of nothing, just me and my mind, alone. So quiet i could hear my heartbeat. This never happened with Jordan, what's going on? Before i could process anything else i saw a familiar ring to my left, that glow it had to it burned my eyes at the sight. I stand up and walk to it, peering inside. I'm at the edge of falling when i see an unfamiliar house, with a familiar blonde headed boy. Reggie. I sighed in relief to see him alive. The memories of them breaking in flashed throughout me, scaring me like an open wound. No one even saw it coming, we heard whispers outside the door but we never thought it would be him. Reggie went to look through the peephole right when they broke in, knocking him to the floor. I hid under the shitty hotel beds scared for my life. I heard rattling and punches being thrown but i didn't dare to peak out. "Baby?" Reggies voice was filled with worry and so quiet i almost didn't catch it. I moved my hand around and saw a piece of thick rope trail from above the bed. (Remember her gift is to breath underwater and to make objects appear with her command) I griped it, helping me out from under the bed. "Oh thank God, i was so worried." Reggie ran to me, enveloping me into a hug. "You were worried? I was just hoping you didn't get your balls ripped off." I joked into his chest making him laugh. "Yea that would probably hurt a bit," he sighed and pulled me tighter "i love you so much." I pulled away slightly to kiss his nose "and i love you." I whispered hugging him again. I started giggling into his chest, making him laugh with me. "What?" He asked still laughing. I pulled his arms away and looked at his knuckles that were bruising up, and i noticed his eye was slightly swollen. "You and your noodle arms really beat those guys up?" I couldn't help the snort that came out of my mouth when we both fell silent. We looked at each other for a minute, eyes widening and all before laughter erupted into laughter. We fell over on the bed pushing each other from laughing so hard when he accidentally rolled onto me making me huff. "Your fat ass is crushing me!" I yelled out a laugh before rolling to the floor, with him still on me we flopped with a loud bang and both of us on our sides. Reggie started laughing again and i groaned "i think you broke me." I said weakly and he finally got off of me. "Oopsies" he smiled and helped me up. I hugged him, pecking him on the lips before walking to the restroom. I did my business before grabbing the first aid kit for Reggies knuckles. They weren't bad, just bloody here and there. I grabbed it and walked out the restroom when the front door swung open, the wall cracking where it was hit. The person moved too fast for me to process or even Reggie, because with in second i saw his hand connect to Reggies face knocking him to the floor. "REGGIE!" I screamed and ran to him, but it felt like everything was in slow motion. I was inches away from the love of my life when a hand connected with my throat, cutting my air off. I dropped the box i didn't know i was still holding and tried to remove the hand attached to me. My eyes rolled back and my scrambling slowed down, i felt myself slipping away but with the last seconds of me being conscious i whipped my hand in a circle, flashing whatever i could and felt a cold metal appear in my weak grasp. I stabbed it into the closest body part i could feel, putting everything i had into it. I heard a scream mixed with a groan as his grip fell, dropping me to the floor. I fall with a thud to the head, but quickly sit up to Reggie. "Baby? Reggie please wake up." I cried stroking his face with my hand, my head was spinning way to fast for me to catch up. I tensed up when i heard muttering from behind me. "Fucking shit i have to do everything by my self." I slowly turned around to face the living demon, who ripped the knife out of his arm. "Oh hey precious, you're coming with me." Before i could fight back my head was rammed into a wall, knocking me out almost instantly. I wake up, being thrown in the back of a car as my head clanked against the cold metal. "Go the shortcut Dan, and no pit stops. I don't give a shit if it's three in the morning, you go straight there got it?" I heard that gross familiar voice from the front of the car i was in. "Of course sir, straight there." I heard the window roll up and the car turn on then another conversation hit with the passenger and the driver. I should pay attention to my surroundings man i didn't even know there was someone else. Wait.. an idea sprung into my head, if i just left the hotel, then i should at least try and count the amount of turns and stops we make. Every time i needed a boost of energy i would just snap myself some food or redbull and no one even checked in on me. I didn't even know if they knew i could possibly die from this if i wasn't gifted but after so long, i couldnt stay up for another second. I knew for sure i was still in the state, just farther out more and not in LA. Finally, i let myself drift off into a small sleep, or what i thought was small. Next thing i know i'm tired to a hospital bed and i'm not able to move, i'm not able to speak, and i'm parched as fuck. The chains wrapped around me burn more by the second and i can't help to think this is how Jordan was for a long time. Tortured until she left the trap. Or maybe even when she was here and taken from her family. I struggle from sleep to awake for hours, trying to get out of this trap i'm in and no one will even give me a look through the two way mirror in front of me. I can barley breathe, i can't move, and i have no strength to get myself out of this situation. If only i knew what was going o- the door creaked open and stood the devils son. "Cassie, am i right?" He asked pulling a chair up to me. I don't answer, i can't if i wanted to. Good thing i didn't want to. "Well if you won't answer i'll get straight to the point, your 'buddy' aka MY creation isn't your friend. She was created to destroy, to help bring down the world around her." What? HIS? He took her and used her as a toy, for what? Power? I closed my eyes shut, burning as tears streaked my face i don't dare to believe a word this "man" says. "And you're gonna help me." David says in a chirpy voice as my eyes snap open. He nods at my reaction and jumps out of his seat. "My plan is to, use you as a bait almost. I'm going to threaten your life for hers, say something out of a cheesy evil villain movie like.. ahem. 'Oh if you don't use your life for my experiences then i'll kill her!' " He uses a darker, unrealistic voice for his imitation like a fucking idiot. I roll my eyes and close them shut, not wanting to face the ugly bastard. "So how does that sound?" He asks in a happy tone that i can feel inches away from my face. In a spilt second he yanks my jaw to face him, burning my skin to the touch as my eyes are forced open. "I said. How. Does. That. Sound?" He practically yells through gritted teeth, i'm terrified to answer and i can't even. I just don't let my gaze leave his as i bawl my eyes out, whimpers leaving the tape over my mouth. He chuckles and releases me shoving me to the side a little. "Good, hopefully you'll go through with it or i'll just kill you on the spot. Not a problem, see you in about twelve hours when the princess wakes up." He laughs and strokes my face before leaving. I physically wanted to throw up, i wanted to go home. But i also needed to know if Jordan was safe if i just listened. So i was gonna go through with his plan. Too bad for him that's got thrown away the second she walked in the door.
