Chapter 7

I didn't know exactly how long I'd been asleep, but a sudden jolt woke me. I found myself in the back of a limousine, one knave sitting to each side of me and Jack and Regina across from me, looking bored. A third knave made eye contact with me in the rearview mirror before returning his eyes back to the road as he drove. I tried to get up, but suddenly found my arms tied behind my back. "Let me go. This is kidnapping, you know?"

"She speaks," Regina said with a laugh. "I suppose it's better than the snoring you'd been doing thus far."

I swallowed and narrowed my eyes at her. My arms were tingly, and my right hand felt numb. I cursed my poor circulation. Even if I got free from these ropes somehow, would I even be able to fight? I'd grossly underestimated my opponents. It was obvious that Jack had drawn his punches with me at first to see what I was capable of. I was a fool to think for a moment that what he'd shown me from the beginning was all the power he had. I fought against my bonds but it was no use. My arms wouldn't come free. I eyed the man and woman who sat across from me. The woman didn't do much more than play on her phone while the man continued to eye me. He didn't let his guard down for a single second. Yes, I definitely underestimated him. I began to wonder if he could have killed me from the beginning. His queen had ordered it done.

If he'd come at me full power right from the start, he might have overwhelmed me. I could have lost confidence because it was my first fight and he would obviously be a strong opponent. Stronger than anything I'd been used to or even faced before. I swallowed hard, but my throat was dry and scratchy, so I ended up coughing.

Regina looked up from her phone. "You're not sick, are you?"

I narrowed my eyes at her. "You afraid of catching some germs?"

Her jaw tensed as she glared at me. "Vampires don't catch germs. We don't even breathe."

I blinked at her. I hadn't really thought of that before. Of course they didn't breathe. They were undead. And if they didn't breathe, how could they catch germs? No matter. I shook my head. "I'm just thirsty. Any chance you could untie me and let me get a drink of water."

She huffed and went back to looking at her phone. "As if."

Jack shook his head but leaned toward the mini-fridge in the limo. He extracted a bottle of water from the fridge, cracked open the lid and then put it to my lips to allow me a sip of it. I drank my fill, keeping my eyes on the one eyed guy the whole time. What was his motivation? He didn't seem to be so easy for Regina to order around like the nameless guys.
