The plane was just the plain definition of luxury, the chairs were made of the finest leather and it looked like it was a hotel built inside a plane. The curtains had golden embroidery. There was a bedroom at the rear end of the plane; before the bedroom was a bar with different cases of alcohol. The girls were ushered into the bedroom where there were a few clothes for them to change into.
"Is this supposed to be a plane or an airborne mini hotel?" Nicole asked with clear sarcasm, loud enough for them to hear.
"If you're still tired you can get some sleep,"
"They're being extremely nice for a bunch of kidnappers, don't you think Scar?" Nicole asked when they were alone.
"Maybe," Scarlett was thinking about the men, they reminded her so much of Chris and Michael, but if it was them, why hadn't they said anything or given any sign? Maybe it wasn't actually them. It wouldn't be nice to jump into conclusion so early. She got dressed and left Nicole who was already sleeping; she sat at the bar and poured herself a glass of wine.
"Aren't you tired?"
"Who are you?" she asked, her voice was firm and demanding.
"Excuse me?"
"Who are you?" she repeated while staring at the men with all seriousness. The blond smiled at her as though he had remembered something when she said that. "What's with the mask?" she asked.
"The masks are just a precaution; no one would let us into that place if we came as ourselves, I doubt the people there know us besides you two, why not add a little action to the drama? Anyway, we came for only you and Nicole," he said and they took off their masks. Scarlett stared at them in shock. Nine years ago, Scarlett, Chris, Nicole and Michael were best friends; Scarlett and Chris were dempires while Nicole and Michael were lycan true bloods.
"You have got to be shitting me!" Scarlett said and hugged them. "You have no idea how much I've missed you guys," Scarlett said. They had been separated when Michael and Chris had to leave for Michael's next in line ritual and then they just couldn't come back, they couldn't have contact or even know about each other's whereabouts until now. "Wait till Nicole finds out,"
"You don't have to wait...I missed you so much," Nicole had woken up a while ago and when she didn't find Scarlett next to her, she went out to scold her but she didn't expect to see this. She hugged them both so tight. After nine years of being separated, they were finally reunited again. "Your faces haven't changed one bit," Nicole choked out with teary eyes. They talked and talked until Nicole finally gave up and slept.
"You should get some sleep Quinn, you've had a long day," Chris said. She hugged them again and gulped down the rest of her wine. Michael had already taken Nicole to the room. Scarlett stood in front of the full length mirror and smiled at herself. By the time the plane landed, it was already dawn.
"Let's go," Chris said.
"It's good to see you two again," a voice said. Looking ahead, a man with sleek black hair and eyes like the moon stood in front of the cars. 'You must be Mr. Quinn' Scarlett thought. She had read Michael's mind in the car. "Scarlett Nicole, I hope you enjoyed your trip," he said.
"It was great, now cut to the chase," Nicole said.
"What do you mean see us again?" Scarlett asked.
"I'm Mr. Quinn," he said. "We've met...though a very long time ago, you were very young,"
"What exactly are we doing here Mr. Quinn?"
"We'll talk about that once you've had a very relaxing sleep," he said. "Chris! Take them to the mansion, I'll be there later and Scarlett please do have a good rest, Michael tells me you haven't slept since your trip," the man vanished with a strict expression on his face. It was as though he was telling the men that if anything happened to the girls, he would kill them all. Scarlett turned to Michael who was standing beside the car with Chris; they were both smirking at her. After nine years, nothing had changed among them; they were still the best friends from childhood she remembered. They were just older now and nothing more. 'It would be nice to finally get some sleep' Scarlett thought and materialized in the car with Nicole sitting beside her.
