Chapter 29
Amelia
I woke up feeling a bit groggy and unbalanced. My mind was foggy and it took a while for me to remember that Sophie and I had been tranquilized.
I look around and found her on my opposite side tied to a chair and out cold.
I moved trying to get to her and I realized I was also tied but unlike Sophie, I was standing, my legs chained to the floor while my hands were each chained to the walls in opposite directions.
I was honestly pissed and whoever did this to us was going to pay.
I tried reaching out to Onyx but I couldn't. She wasn't responding and my powers weren't working meaning we were on our own.
Personally I don't believe in waiting for someone else to save me but I was worried about Sophie. It would probably be dangerous and she was pregnant so I didn't want to put her or her baby in danger. "Mmm..." Sophie murmured, making me turn to look at her.
"Soph, are you okay?"
"Feels like that time we got drunk and had a hangover to end all hangovers" she replied, her voice sounding drowsy bringing a smile to lips.
She was still a bit out of it but I was just glad she was conscious although I hoped that whatever it is they had injected us with wouldn't have any effects on the baby.
"What happened? The last thing I remember is a prickling on my neck" she asked after some time, and this time her voice was clearer, probably because the effects of the drugs had begun wearing off. "And where the hell are we?" she continued.
When she said that I did a quick scan of where we were. The room was gray with a white door.
There was a table off to the left that had what I assumed were torture objects.
The room was dirty, the walls and floor smeared with blood and probably other body fluids. It was stuffy and the air inside was stale.
There weren't any windows or anything else except for the table and the chains so I assumed this must be the torture chamber.
I couldn't smell anything that could give me a clue of where we were but that was most likely because Onyx was missing in action.
That also worried me because I couldn't feel her at all and I was afraid that whatever it is they did to her might have harmed her.
Onyx is the strongest hellhound I know of, so for her to be M.I.A, something must be really wrong.
"I don't know, but it looks like we were kidnapped" I replied, still trying to work things out.
I had to figure out what happened and also come up with an escape plan. I survey the room again and find there are no cameras but that doesn't mean there aren't any listening devices so it would be too risky to try and talk to Soph about coming up with an escape plan. "Kidnapped? Kidnapped! That shit only happens in movies, not to us!" she whispered yelled.
I've known Sophie my entire life and right now she was panicking. I understand where she is coming from but right now panicking wasn't going to help us in fact it would be a liability.
This kind of situation needs calmness and level headedness so that way you are able to think clearly.
"Soph can you use the pack link?" I asked her after it finally hit me that maybe she could.
"No, I can't even feel Lilly" she replied after some time.
Lilly was her wolf and if both of us couldn't communicate with our other halves then we were in deep shit
Without our beast we were basically just human since it's from them that we get out hightened senses.
"I can't reach Onyx either...this isn't good at all"
"It indeed isn't...for you two at least" a man says while walking in the room.
He was tall but not as tall as most of the men I know. Maybe around six feet or less. He had shaggy brown hair and obsidian eyes, he was also covered in tattoos.
He looked to be in his mid-thirties and he was sort of average. There wasn't anything quite remarkable about him, physically at least, well except for his aura, it screamed power.
"Who are you and what do you want from us?" Sophie asked.
"From you blondie, nothing, you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time...but from Amelia, that's a different story" he replied smirking while leaning on the wall.
"Do you have any idea who I am!?" I ground out, because if he did then he would have known kidnapping me was the worst thing he could ever do, powerful or not.
"Oh, I know exactly who you are...why do you think you cannot access your powers? I know exactly who you are dark goddess and just like superman has his weakness as kryptonite, you have obsidian which negates your powers and which is the foundation of this whole area" he said proudly and I wanted nothing more than to wipe the floor with his face.
"As for your beast, it's simple poisoning. A mixture of silver and brimstone and they won't show their furry little heads as long as the poison is in your systems...so you are as helpless as a new born baby" he finishes.
There was nothing little about Onyx and it pissed me off that he would throw such a casual insult at one of the greatest beast in the dark kingdom.
He was an arrogant bastard so I could use that against him. I saw some keys dangling on his belt and got an idea.
If there was one thing I had promised myself is that I would never ever be as defenseless as I had been in the past.
Bastards like him wore their arrogance and ego as a crown and as an armor and the only way to get them to react is by drilling holes in their armor and taking away their crowns, that alone will make them lose their cool and act irrationally.
"You know for a man as tough as you want us to believe you sure are a pussy" I started and schooled my features to look unimpressed.
My statement made him snap his head in my direction and by the look in his eyes he sure didn't like being called a pussy, probably because he was a typical man.
And like I said, there were most likely listening devices and people on the other side would definitely be listening in
"I mean, was I that much of a threat that you had to drug me first and negate my powers? I know I am a scary bitch but damn for a man you are a coward" I went on.
"Shut the hell up!" his anger was rising and that was what I was counting on.
To get him so angry that he would come to me and maybe I could get a chance to steal the keys.
My eyes connected with Sophie briefly before I continued on with my mission and I could see she was curious about what I was doing and at the same time afraid that I would get us killed.
"Oooh, were you afraid of pissing your pants at the thought of facing the dark goddess? I would have wanted to see you cry to your mummy once I beat your sorry ass"
I didn't see the punch coming and it honestly knocked the wind out of my lungs. Damn I had forgotten what physical pain is, and man does it fucking hurt.
"I told you to shut the fuck up!" he shouted at me getting into my space.
"Why? You don't want your buddies to hear how you would have gotten your butt whooped by a five foot nothing woman"
I expected the punch that came next but not the ones after that. He kept punching and at one time I even felt a rib or two break. It hurt but I managed to breathe through the pain till he finally stopped.
"What? Are you done comparing dicks and trying to prove yours is bigger? Let me save you the effort and tell you mine is bigger than that tinny toothpick. between your flimsy legs" I finish saying just as he lets out a roar that shakes the room and his eyes turn blood red. There was only one person I have heard of who had blood red eyes.
Damn it! I had just pissed off Hades, god of the underworld and also Agron's fucking brother.
