"It's not like you had come to OUR house by letting us know beforehand ." I replied to him sarcastically .
He nodded his head , agreeing with me . "So what brings you here ?" /
His shaky breath from trying not to pant had calmed down a little and I could talk more freely without needing to think whether I would laugh or not . "We'll be straight with you since we have no time to loose . Do you have any idea where Beth might be ? She's been missing for a few days ."
Either Fredrick was someone who could control his emotions very well , or he was genuinely shocked by the news .
"Do you think that Nath might've taken her with or against her will to keep her captive ? I need the truth right now . "
I felt helpless since I didn't want to use my powers in front of him , in case he spills that beans that I wasn't human to Nate .
There was silence for a little while and a few moments later , some maids opened the door came inside with a number of snacks . I tried talking with Fredrick but he was in deep thinking . What was there to think so much about ? If he was Nate's partner in crime , then , shouldn't he be knowing him better than all of us ?
The snacks were served hot and we didn't hesitate to start eating it . We had finished almost half of the snacks , and it felt like I had two meals together . The Cuban sandwiches , Crab cakes , Disco fries , Italian hot dogs , Clam , Neapolitan-style pizzas, and much more tasty stuff were finished by us .
I finally lost my patience and burst out on him . "When will you find the answer to one simple question I asked you ? Do you really work with Nate ? "
An uncomfortable feeling struck up my throat . I was dizzy , and could pass out any moment . The goosebumps that came with these was making me want to vomit out all that I ate as well . "It was nice watching you fall into my trap . Jessie , let's take them to their rooms ."
That was the last thing I heard before I passed out completely .
******************************************************************************************
I woke up in a dark room , a thumping sensation was felt at the back of my head . Fredrick didn't look like he wanted to help me . Had he known what I was ??????
I looked around my surroundings . It was dark but a little while was enough for me to adjust my eyes . I could see around lightly because of a small window giving us a few rays of moonlight . I realised that Nath was passed out beside me . Fredrick had drugged the food for sure . Why I didn't feel threatened and aware that we weren't on the same side made me regret everything .
Jessie wasn't as nice as I thought she would be . She had a sweet look and sound , but she was a evil as anyone in contact with people like Fredrick could be . She must've figured out that we had seen Fredrick inside . I sighed deeply . That's when I noticed Nath beside me , passed out . He started waking up , shifting around uncomfortably .
"Hey there , sleepy head ." I said as he opened his eyes completely . I gave him a few minutes to get used to the darkness as well . I thought that they had kept this room dark so that we would be blinded by light when they opened the door but I was wrong . He had definitely kept night vision cameras in the room because as soon as Nath woke up , the lights in the room were turned on . In the small moonlight that had entered the room , I had failed to notice the writings on the wall .
I couldn't express anything when I read what was written on the walls . There were multiple writings on all four sides of the white wall , with either red paint , or blood . Some of them consisted of 'HELP ME!' , 'GOD WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU !' and everything letting us know that there had been different prisoners like us in this room . Did they die ? or were they moved out from here to a different place ?
Everything was in red , except one . It was written in black .It read , ' I WAS NEVER WITH NATE . IF YOU TESTIFY AGAINST SUPERNATURAL PEOPLE IN COURT , I WILL LET YOU GO.'
Did he know that I wasn't human ? It could mean anything . "I don't understand a thing ! I need an explanation !"
As soon as I said that , a piece of paper was slid down to me . If the person was right there , couldn't he talk to me ?
I walked towards the piece of paper and read it along with Nath . It read , "Nate and I used to be friends but the moment I found out about that he had married my first love , we broke apart . .....' There was more but I didn't read any of it . I was tired of reading messages . So I put half the paper out from under the door . It didn't take long before the paper was pulled from the other side .
"I know it's you Fredrick . You need to hear my response . But I haven't read you explanation . I don't plan to . You'll only get an answer if you speak . If not , I guess you'll never get anything out of us . We're ready to die ."
I sharpened my ears and heard the paper being crumpled in anger . We were on his nerves . I heard a loud sigh before hearing a slight whisper which I wouldn't have heard if I hadn't used my powers . "I'll see if you last in this isolated bar without anything for four days . Then , I'll give up ."
Fredrick's footsteps were leaving . I turned to Nath and said "We may be starving for four days . Let's stay as strong as we can so that we can get out , ok ?"
He agreed with me .
