HUNTER

THE FIRST THING I NOTICE waking up is it doesn’t sound like it should. My brain’s a bit foggy with confusion, and I’m disoriented. Rather than peel my lids back, I take a few brief moments to breathe deeply and work to get my thoughts in order. I remember being at the welcome party with Aura, and then afterward, my mind trails off as bits and pieces begin clicking into place.

Fuck. This isn’t good at all.

With a deep exhale, I open my eyes. I’m already aware I won’t like what I find waiting for me, and I’m right. My hands, along with the rest of my body, are tied securely. Apparently, a satanist bound my ass up as they wrapped my entire frame in the offending rope. I wiggle, testing the strength and am pinched in random spots. This is bullshit, and everything inside me wants to pop a fuse and lose my shit. The urge to roar and bellow profanities rides my shoulders heavily, but I refrain. Throwing a tantrum will get me nowhere, no matter how much satisfaction it may momentarily bring. I also need to reserve my energy. I don’t know what I’m in for with what went down.

Think. I need to be smart about this.

The psycho bitch plans to kill Aura, and I have no idea what sort of timeframe she’s working with. Whatever I do, I need a plan and one that’ll get me out of here quickly. I have to get to Aura. I’ll never forgive myself if something happens to her. After all this time, the least she deserves are new hurdles to leap over in life. I can’t believe I promised to protect her, and I’ve already failed in the first step.

I take in my surroundings, searching for anything I may be able to use. I’m lying on an inky, thick exercise type of mat that fills up a generous portion in the corner of the main room. There are a few hallways veering off from this room—I’m assuming that’s what they are anyway. There’s no telling what all is down here with me or where I’m at in general. The endless possibilities have me grinding my molars as I continue to catalog everything with dread.

Someone must’ve seen something at the party—they had to. I know for certain that Steven and Lucia have cameras all over their massive mansion. Surely, they’re looking for me by now. The possibility of this psychotic bitch having further reach comes slithering into the back of my mind like a suffocating fog.

The reality of my situation is I’m at her mercy and have no clue just how far her deception carries. For all I know, she could have several on staff working for her—the man I saw earlier with her was one I’ve deduced. This is even worse than I imagined. I thought she was merely a pest with good connections in the past, but clearly, I’ve underestimated her. It doesn’t help she’s Steven’s sister, and he most likely trusts her blindly.
