Phoebe's POV;
"Found you!"
Seraphine gave out a horrific scream that echoed throughout the house.
"Seraphine!" I shouted I couldn't touch her since I was in my Astral form I couldn't do anything but watch the scene unfold,
Seraphine is dragged out where the two of them were hiding, she got pulled by the hair and got forcefully tossed at the ground, she was already pale when we encountered each other
She now looked even worse, her lips were turning blue, her sister was also dragged out by the hair, she caught her sister in her arms when the man tossed her to her.
"If you're here to steal then get whatever you want already! Just leave us alone!" her voice trembled while tears were already flowing from her blue eyes.
"Stealing from this house is just a bonus, we're going to kidnap you two, to use your powers and then for another bonus the ransom we're going to get from your parents will be our retirement-plan"
Forsythia was about to act when the man's hand met the little girls face, the one that slapped her is also the one that dragged them out, the slap was so strong it knocked her out, Seraphine's eyes widen while I covered my mouth suppressing my scream
"We won't allow you to use your powers on us"
"You scoundrel-"
Before Seraphine could form the words the man from earlier who slapped Forsythia repeated his actions Seraphine immediately went out cold
"Tie them up with the special rope"
Two other men complied and tied the two with a strange luminescent rope, I could feel strange energy being emitted from the strange rope making me a little nauseous.
"What do we do now boss?"
"Bring them upstairs"
The two men hauled Seraphine and Forsythia's body like a bag of sand, I felt useless just watching them.
The two sisters are brought upstairs and seated on a chair in the living room. The house is already ransacked.
"Are they still alive?"
"Yes boss"
A well-dressed man stood at the shattered glass window says to the one that captured the two sisters,
He turns around with a malicious smile on his face, he looks like a man in his forties, he had handsome features but the one thing that I took notice of was his eyes, it was pure red.
The proof of the Vampire Origin.
"Should we wake them, boss?"
"Let them wake up on their own" he looks at his watch, "I have one hour and thirty minutes before Eric's bodyguard gets here" the man sat on the couch relaxing himself
I was so anxious about what the man's intentions were towards the two sisters, I prayed in my head that he wouldn't kill them.
"Ugh"
"Seraphine!" I called out.
"The princess finally wakes up!"
Seraphine immediately looked up at the voice, she processed what was happening in front of her when realization dawned she panicked
"WHO ARE YOU, PEOPLE?!" She screamed!
"Seraphine Armaclei, daughter of the man who I loathe so much, and also the one who killed my father 166 years ago"
"I never killed anyone! And I have nothing to do with your hatred towards my father!"
"You did, and you HAVE something to do with my hatred towards your perfectionist of a father"
The man said with a mocking smile, Seraphine glared at the man, the man chuckled amused.
"I don't know what you're talking about, let me and my sister go already, I didn't do anything and my sister is innocent"
"DON'T YOU REMEMBER!?" The man shouted, making Seraphine jump "you crushed my father's throat with your powers".
"Are you crazy?! I don't have any powers!"
"Playing dumb are we?" he gestures towards his men, one of the men approached Forsythia with a bucket at hand
"What are you doing?" Seraphine questioned with anxiousness "get away from her!"
The man dumped cold water on the girl, she immediately woke up gasping, she looks around and tugs on her restraints her eyes land on her sisters tied up form
"What's happening?" Forsythia asked her expression contorting into dread.
"Stop this already!"
"You killed my father and your father buried our company into debt, making, house Barnes bankrupt. He took revenge for YOU, and it's all your fault!" the man seethes in anger
"W-What?" Seraphine's fear was settling in.
"Do you now understand?!" Thunder boomed outside.
Seraphine looked down heaving heavily, distress beginning to surface on her expression, the man looked at her with hatred
"I don't even know what my father saw in you, you're just a pathetic weak girl, I don't even sense any psych energy from you," the man says
"Big sis..."
"The only thing that is useful is your blood, I'm going to sell your blood in the black market and confine you in a dungeon at one of those abandoned castles here in Britain" the man diverts his eyes to the little girl
"You, on the other hand, have some value with your puny powers, however weak and fragile it is" Forsythia started crying, "I'll sell you to the NBI or the SCP, either way, you're profitable than your sister"
"Why..."
"Did you say something?"
"If what you say is the truth then why did I kill your father?"
"He obsessed over your psych energy, I see now that he was just an old crazy fool, but I do wonder, how did you stay alive for a hundred years? Maybe it rings in a little truth" he mused "that's why to test his belief of you being powerful we need to rile you up"
"R-Rile?"
"Pull Forsythia's nails"
"Big sis!"
"NO!"
One of the men momentarily exited the living room, he returned with a set of nail pliers, I hugged myself watching my whole body tensing up.
"STOP THIS! STOP! PLEASE DON'T HURT HER!"
"Pull two of her nails on each finger as a start"
"No! No!" Forsythia squirmed on her chair the man was behind her gripping her tied up hands behind her back.
"DO IT TO ME! LEAVE HER ALONE!"
The ripping of skin was heard and Forsythia shrieked in agony, I instinctively recoiled squeezing my eyes shut, tears forming.
"IT HURTS!"
Forsythia wailed, Seraphine repeatedly shouted for them to stop but it fell on deaf ears. I opened my eyes when the sound of ripping flesh stopped.
Blood dripped from Forsythia's hands, Forsythia sobbed and trembled in agony, Seraphine started crying as well.
"This is beginning to bore me, the less you show your powers more nails is pulled out from your sister's fingers," The man says with delight
Seraphine started hyperventilating, the well-dressed man nodded to signal his men to continue, Forsythia's cries reverberated, and Seraphine looks as if she was about to pass out when suddenly her pupils dilated
"Stop" he immediately said to his men when he noticed her eyes
"S-Seraphine?" I nervously called out.
Seraphine's eyes had a soft blue glow, the well-dressed man applauded and smiled from ear to ear in triumph
"There we go" He proudly says
"Sire" Another well-dressed man entered the living room "we need to go"
"Ah, just in time" He nods "you thugs can continue ripping the girls' nails, if there are no nails left then teeth, bring the two to me after you're done"
"Copy that boss"
"Very lovely to see you and your sister Seraphine," The man tells her before he exited and left
"What do we do now boss?" The lackeys ask their figurehead.
"Six nails are left pull them out then proceed to the teeth"
"No! NO!" Forsythia shook her head "PLEASE NO MORE!"
I couldn't bear to watch any more. I looked away, covering my ears, how could they do such a thing to a little girl? I can't believe I'm seeing something horrible again and just watch.
"What did you say?"
I opened my eyes at the sudden angry voice, I looked towards the people in the room the leader of the thugs was glaring at Seraphine
"I said" Seraphine started "STOP IT YOU FILTHY MOTHERFUCKER'S!"
The leader punched her straightforward, to my surprise she didn't lose consciousness. The soft glow in her eyes was beginning to intensify.
"That's it, Pull the little sisters' teeth next"
"Big sis..."
Forsythia's voice sounded tired, she was in a pitiful state already, her face stained with tears and a pool of her blood from her nails was on the wooden floor.
"Open wide little girl" the man behind her stood up and pulled her hair down
"THAT'S ENOUGH!"
Seraphine's voice boomed in the room to all of their surprises, the rain poured harder outside and lightning flashed several times along with thunder resonating non-stop.
Seraphine's body suddenly ignited a blue flame enveloping her body,
A very dark, ominous and heavy atmosphere filled the room I flinched at the sudden surge of power around the air.
"W-We should kill her boss-"
The initial man said that suddenly lifted in the air choking it's as if he is strangled, a sickening snap could be heard. I screamed in terror seeing a dead man his neck snapped abnormally still hanging in the air.
Bile was beginning to form from my throat but I suppressed it.
"RUN-"
Everyone that was in the room lifted in the air choking similar to the man earlier, Seraphine, however, look unconcerned the rope that was tying her body already burned and turned into ash,
She stood up and went to her sister's unconscious form burning the ropes, she lifted her in her arms, the flame ineffective on her.
"I'm so sorry this happened to you Forsythia, and just as I remembered that, you are my little sister" she whispered in sorrow
Seraphine carried her little sister out of the living room and left a trail of blue flames, she didn't pay any attention to the corpses that were just hanging in the air, I followed Seraphine unnerved at the sight but at the same time trying to ignore it.
"Heal and rest" Seraphine placed her hand on top of her little sister's, she was also set a blazed mysteriously her sister did not burn she started healing. "That man is going to pay for this," she says with gritted teeth, she turns around and leaves her room, I was following her closely behind.
Noticing it now, the house is slowly setting on blue fire, but it didn't smell like something was burning nor the furniture was burning. What IS burning are the corpses that dropped on the floor. It was like the fire was alive and eating the corpses.
"Where are you going?" I asked worried she didn't answer and headed straight towards the door.
She momentarily stops when two men in black like the one from before commanded the thugs appeared but this one's lowered their heads. Seraphine continued her stride outside, the rain showering her.
"This is one crazy thunderstorm"
Pedestrians commented hurrying down the wet path. Seraphine closed her eyes inhaling and exhaling slowly.
"Seraphine?" A woman's voice called out exiting one of those metal vehicles.
"Got you" Seraphine opens her eyes and teleports away
"FUCK!"
The women shouted in frustration. I followed Seraphine shortly after teleporting as well since both of us have a link I can go wherever she is.
She stood in the middle of the road, the rain could not douse the blue flame on her body instead it still blazed fiercer than before,
I couldn't see well because of the rain but there was light heading towards us, Seraphine immediately acted as if she was smashing something in thin air and the source of the light smashed.
"That was too close for comfort"
The man who ordered for the thugs to torture Forsythia in the living room was already out of the smashed vehicle, fixing his tie
"Are you alright Sire?" his butler I presume asked, Seraphine walked towards them
"Now Seraphine-"
Before the man even completed her name the man next to him was already choking, she held her hand up and the well-dressed man who inflicted pain upon Forsythia lifted into the air,
His eyes turned red. He was also fighting her with his powers but Seraphine's power was easily overpowering him, to be precise the man's power could be compared to an ant and Seraphine's power could be compared to a giant.
"Seraphine Stop!"
"Your Mother and Father, the King and Queen of the Vampire hierarchy will be under fire if you killed that man!"
"Calm down Seraphine and think!"
"That man wants you to kill him so that your parents are overthrown in the Vampire Circle!"
"..."
Seraphine didn't respond she is filled with rage and anguish on what happened to her sister, but she did listen to the four vampires that reasoned with her, the man taunted her, but she just knocked the man out by depriving him of air, the other was also knocked out now that I noticed, the four other vampires gave an inner sigh of relief.
