Chereads / The cursed slayer / Chapter 6 - kidnapped

Chapter 6 - kidnapped

About 30 people were put in a room that felt like a prison cell. The door was made of bones, which made the room really creepy and everyone inside extremely nervous.

"Help us!"

"Where are we?"

"I'm scared"

"I want to go home"

"Are we kidnapped?"

Everyone is thinking the same thing: they don't know where they are or what's going to happen, and it's making everyone's minds go crazy.

Well except one.

In one corner of the room, there's a small girl with dark hair and blue streaks sleeping soundly, ignoring everyone else's chatter.

She's resting her head on the lap of a teenage boy with ice blue eyes.

The boy sighed softly.

"Looks like she's not waking up anytime soon," Zayn thought to himself as he gently nuzzled Luna's hair.

He glanced around, trying to figure out what was happening and where they were. After a while, he reached a conclusion.

"We've been kidnapped"

But how?

Before finding themselves in this place, everyone was in the waiting room of an association where the most powerful people were present.

He could also hear panicked voices from people other than those in the room, suggesting that there might be more people nearby, and like their cell, there were likely more cells nearby as well.

Everyone in the waiting room must have been kidnapped.

But who would have done it?

The association is filled with the strongest people around. It doesn't make sense for anyone to kidnap them when they were in association.

Another question popped into his mind: If everyone inside the room had indeed been kidnapped

Then how?

That's when he had a sudden realization.

The blood red barrier.

The perpetrator must have simply transported everyone here using some sort of spell.

"If they can cast such a large-scale transportation spell, it means we're in much bigger trouble than I thought" he frowned.

"Hmmm"

His train of thought was interrupted by a sound from beneath him. "You finally woke up, huh," he thought to himself.

Luna slowly opened her eyes and blinked in confusion as she saw Zayn's face above her.

"What t..." Before Luna could say anything, he stopped her by placing his finger on her lips.

"We're in a bit of trouble, shortie. So, keep quiet and listen to me," he said with a serious expression.

"Do you understand?" he asked, to which she nodded her head. Then she straightened her body and sat near him.

Then she glanced around, hearing all the noises around her. When she realized she was in some kind of prison cell, she became nervous.

Then she turned around and saw Zayn, who had a troubled expression on his face.

"Zayn, what's happening? and Where are we?" she asked.

"I don't know much about what's happening right now," he said as he looked around at their surroundings, "but I think we've been kidnapped."

She looked really surprised and confused. 'What? Kidnapped?' she said, stuttering.

He sighed because he didn't know how to tell her sister about the situation.

"Do you remember the blood-red barrier that surrounded everyone in the waiting room?" he asked.

"Yes," she nodded her head.

"I think it's some kind of large-scale teleportation spell"

"W..hatt?" She stuttered in fear.

"Then what will happen to us?" she looked at Zayn's eyes as she asked.

"I don't k..know," seeing her like this made him stutter.

Hearing this, her eyes turned moist, and tears trailed across her innocent face.

"Zayn, I'm scared" she hugged him tight and cried.

"Don't worry, I'm here"

He hugged her back and reassured her, saying he was there for her.

***

After 1 hour

"I wonder who I should pick from here," a flirtatious voice said from outside the prison cell.

A woman with blonde hair and red eyes stepped out of the darkness and stood in front of the cell.

Her appearance made everyone feel as if they were in the presence of a goddess.

But they couldn't be more mistaken.

Why?

Because she's not a goddess, she's a vampire.

"Oh, there are some good pro...!" Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by someone.

The man quickly rushed towards her but couldn't reach her because of the eerie bone door separating them.

"Hey bitch, why the hell am I locked up with these beggars?" the man cursed as he punched the door, spouting some third-rate dialogues.

"Do you know who I am? Do you know who my father is? If he finds out, he'll kill everyone involved in my kidnapping."

"Aww, cute! So you want to get out of here," the blonde woman chuckled, amused by the idiot's ramblings.

"Are you deaf or what? Let me out and start begging for your life if you want to live!" he yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Okay, if that's what you want, I will grant your wish," she said, her lips curving into a seductive smile.

"It's good you know your place. Don't worry about my father, I'll take special care of you," the man said as he ogled her and licked his lips.

Snap

A snapping sound echoed in the room, accompanied by cries. The man who stood in front of the woman turned into a mist of blood.

Silence

Seeing the mist of blood, the whole room fell into complete silence, fearing that if they opened their mouths, they would suffer the same fate.

"So, is there still anyone who wants to get out of here?" the woman asked, breaking the silence.

Not a single person opened their mouth in response.

"Nice," she nodded.

"First of all, I have something to say to those who wish to escape from this place," she said, looking around at everyone in the room.

"If you think you can escape from this place and you're hoping someone will come for your rescue, let go of that thought, because it's useless," she declared firmly.

"No one can save you," she emphasized.

"Because you guys aren't in a Zephyr," she added with a smirk

"The planet you are on now is called the Planet of Chaos - Shadow Grave"

"The only thing that awaits you all is death"
