When Serena awoke she was in a foggy state. She could smell the coppery scent of blood and the damp smell of earth. She was disoriented and dizzy. She was cold and in pain. She could feel Damon's panic. She tried to sit up and failed grimacing in pain.
“It doesn't hurt if you keep still” came a voice. It was weak. Serena couldn't find her voice to talk.
“its the drug they used on you” she said. “You'll eventually become immune to it, they keep you on it so your to sick to do anything and in pain to not move. They never let it ware off” the girl said. Serena swallowed.
“Where are we” Serena asked. Her voice was weak and rough.
“I was going to ask you that myself” she said.
“No Idea” Serena said
“How long have you been here?” Serena asked.
“A long time. Whats the date. Or what was the date before you woke up and ended up here?” she asked.
“June 23rd 2010” Serena said.
“Wow...”she said “if my memory serves me correctly then I've been here for a year and a bit”
“Are we ever going to get out of here?” Serena asked.
“My fiance probably thinks i'm dead. I've been down here so long I will probably be blinded by the sunlight my fiance didn't even come look for me” she said.
“Well the guy i'm with he's my soulmate but I overheard him say that I mean nothing to him and I got upset. I was coming in to talk to him when I was taken” The girl was moving around. She sat down beside Serena.
“i'm Regan by the way” she said. Serena's heart stopped.
“I'm Serena” she replied. Regan had been kidnapped over a year ago and Damon wasn't over her. She suddenly felt bad. The door suddenly opened. Regan squeezed my hand, someone grabbed her. She went without restraint, and then Serena was truly alone.
Brightvale
Thalia walked among the streets of Brightvale in the trade district hidden under a cloak. She kept her head down but opened her senses to her surroundings. She looked up and watched making sure she wasn't followed before she ducked into a back alley. She knocked twice and waited at the door. The door opened almost automatically. Thalia walked in and the door closed behind her. Thalia turned to face her soulmate Raze. He wrapped his arms around her.
“What is so urgent it couldn't wait until tomorrow” Thalia said,
“A few days ago we came to Dalkieth, Calden and I with this Vampire named Nizel. He's a friend of my fathers and does my fathers dirty work. He kidnapped a girl. A human girl from your castle. They took her to Ironport” he said Thalia stopped. So Nizel was behind it. Damon had said that Nizel had kidnapped her but no one believed him,.
“They have Serena” Thalia said. Raze nodded.
“thats not it though, they want to use her to lure Damon. They want to kill him so they can take down your father and essentially take down the kingdom.
“We have to go see my father” Thalia said.
“I can't go with you” he said
“My father hating me is the least of my problems and he won't believe me if I tell him myself” she said.
Dalkieth
Thalia walked into her fathers office, Raze followed hidden under his cloak.
“Where is my father?” she asked one of the servents.
“He left this morning, he should be back anytime...” the servant stopped when Aleron entered the room. He pulled out a sword and pointed it at Raze. Thalia shrieked and hissed at her father.
“Father he isn't the enemy” Thalia said. She pushed the sword away. Raze pulled down his hood.
“Girl have you gone blind, this is Lucian's son” Aleron said still pointing the sword.
“Father he isn't like his father. He wants to make peace with the kingdoms and he is my soulmate”
Aleron didn't say anything.
“I didn't bring him here so that I could tell you that I brought him here so I could tell you that Nizel kidnapped Serena, they have her in Ironport. Nizel has been working with Lucian all this time. He's the bad guy.” Thalia said.
“Well then I guess we should go get her” Aleron said.
“There’s something else, they want to use Serena to lure Damon so they can kill him, then kill you and eventually take this kingdom” Raze said.
“Well that puts us in a difficult predicament doesn't it.” Aleron said.
