Chapter 17

I had known something was wrong, was off, as soon as I’d seen the setup. There was a huge chair with shackles attached to it. That’s where they had put Lucas; at first I didn’t understand how someone could overtake Lucas – he was huge and powerful – but then I saw that there were two men.

They must have jumped on him before he could react and shackled him down to the chair. I could see him struggling to lift his arms and legs, but it looked like a pointless effort. Lucas wasn’t going anywhere.

As for me, I was a little easier to contain. I’d been bound to a chair, hands tied behind me and feet tied to the chair legs.

The men were identical. It was quite a sight, actually. They were tall – not as tall as Lucas, but close. They had dark brown hair and pointed chins. One guy was wearing his hair long, in a ponytail; the other had a spiky hairstyle.

“Do what you want with me, but let her go,” Lucas growled.

Ponytail simply laughed. “Nice to see you, again, Lucas,” he said, ignoring Lucas’ demand.

“You know these guys?” I blurted out before I could stop myself.

“We have a history,” Lucas replied through gritted teeth. He looked like he was about to explode.

“Ah, yes, where are my manners?” Now spiky hair was talking. He turned to me. I shuddered involuntarily. His eyes were a piercing blue.

“My name is Thomas,” he continued. “And my brother here is Bartholomew.”

Ponytail – who had now been identified as Bartholomew – smiled, revealing sharp, pointed teeth. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from them.

“Let the girl go,” Lucas tried again.

Thomas walked over to him, leaning down so that his face was inches from Lucas. “Oh, but we haven’t gotten to the fun part yet.”

In response, Lucas spat in his face. Thomas jumped back and wiped his forehead. “You’re going to be sorry you did that,” he hissed.

Please don’t antagonize them, I silently begged Lucas.

I watched helplessly as Bartholomew wheeled out a hospital IV.

“What are you doing to him?” I shrieked. My panic was rising.

“Just giving him a taste of what he craves,” Bartholomew replied. He twisted Lucas’ arm inside the shackle so that his palm was facing upwards.

“No,” Lucas tried to protest as Bartholomew stabbed the IV into a vein in his wrist. Lucas winced but didn’t say anything else.

Bartholomew pressed a button on the machine. Thick, dark red liquid flowed through the tube as I watched in horror.

Lucas gasped. “I’m so sorry, Aurora,” he managed to say.

“Please!” I yelled frantically. “What are you doing to him?”

Neither of the brothers would answer. “Please! Please!” I shouted over and over.

“They’re giving me blood – human blood.” Lucas was doubled over now in the chair. He had gone a deathly pale color.

“You’re killing him!” I screamed.

Thomas just laughed. “He wishes.”

“We’re just giving him what he really wants,” Bartholomew said. “He thinks he’s better than us, living off that synthetic shit. This will make him a killer again.
