16Chapter 14: When Will We Live
Kirrina ached all over, her captors had not relented. If anything they had increased their attacks.
"Hello little Nightswallow." A deep voice greeted. The man pulled Kirrina's blindfold and gag off and took a step back.
Kirrina gathered her courage and spit at the man's face. For a split second she was triumphant.
"Bad idea, little one." The man growled wiping his face. He slapped Kirrina full in the face with a burning hand.
Kirrina whimpered and recoiled. Folding in on herself as much as she could while being tied to a chair.
"Ah, ah, darling. What did I tell you? No recoiling. You are our masterpiece. So act like it!" The man screamed in her face before hitting her again.
"Boss the Moonlark is screaming again, and the Vacker boy is communicating." A familiar voice said. It took Kirrina a moment to realize that it was Alvar, her brother.
Kirrina whimpered as the man in front of her told Alvar to deal with it.
Kirrina tried to scream but her throat was so hoarse and dry it came out as a cackle.
"Ah, ah. No screaming." He hit her again and pressed a cloth to her mouth. A sweet smell filled her nostrils before everything turned to black.
Fitz's body ached with pain and cold, everything hurt. He could sense Sophie was near through their connection, but he couldn't tell where.
He heard screams echo from down the halls. Screams that had become almost to familiar. He lifted his face up not seeing anything through his blindfold.
More screams sounded through the halls. Then Fitz heard the sound of a door opening, heavy and metal, and footsteps, heavy and loud.
Fitz tried to yell or say something. But the gag blocked his voice.
"Now, now boy. Don't make me hurt you, like I hurt you dear sisters." The man said. Fitz wanted to scream but he knew it would be fruitless
"Your dear sister, what did you call her, Kirrina? She's been giving us quite a lot of trouble." The man ripped off Fitz's blindfold revealing a black-haired, dark blue-eyed male who looked at Fitz with sharp eyes.
"But you won't, right?" The man said feigning false kindness.
Fitz glared at the man, his eyes deep pools of hatred.
More screams echoed through the halls, as well as yells and shouts.
"Come on, untie him, and bring him with us." The man commanded getting up from his crouching position.
Two men came from the shadow of the door frame, where Fitz hadn't noticed them. One untied him while the other brutally dragged him from his position on the floor.
The two men dragged him down the hall. They were rough not being wary of Fitz's head.
They dragged him for what felt like an eternity, until they reached a metal door.
The man from before opened the door, revealing Sophie, huddled in the corner of the room.
Sophie looked up her face bloody. Fitz tried to crawl over but one of the men had a vice like grip on one of his arms.
Fitz heard and pop and felt a searing pain in his arm. Fitz whimpered as the man behind him kicked him in the back.
"Stay still. We only brought you here to watch." The man behind Fitz moved in front of him, blocking Sophie from view. Fitz looked up, but the man in front of him pressed his foot on Fitz's head.
The three men left leaving Fitz and Sophie alone. But soon the pain from Fitz's arm overtook his mind, causing him to pass out.
Alden looked at his hands. For the third time, children had been taken by the Neverseen, and for the second it had happened at one of their homes.
Alden looked up at the faces in the room. The Songs, Rewens, Dizznees, and even Lord Sencen.
"Need I remind you, that all of our children were safe until your daughter came into the picture!" Alden heard Quan Song yell toward Grady.
"Don't you dare put this on my daughter!" Grady shouted in return, "This is not her fault."
"This isn't anyone's fault." Alden stood up and walked in front of his desk. "If anything. This is m fault. I left them alone in the house."
"No one blames you," Lord Song and Sencen scoffed," But I have one question. Where were their guards? Sandor, Grisel, and the others?" Grady asked looking into Alden's teal eyes.
"I found Sandor and Grisel bound and gagged in the living room, while the others were found in the various places we assume their charges were before they were taken.
"Our children were taken again. And for the second time it was under one of our noses. When will this stop." Mai Song looked up as she spoke. Everyone looked around, as they all had no idea.
/AN/
So this is a tad shorter than last chapter but at least it wasn't as long of a wait. The man who brought Fitz to see Sophie was the same man who was talking to Kirrina. I forgot if I gave him characteristics sorry so I gave him some in this chapter.
