Elemental Queen

Chapter 6: Captivity Is a Pain in the Ass

Crystal POV:

    When I finally came too, I knew that I was in a s**t ton of trouble. Shaking my head trying to clear the fog that was muddling all of my senses, I looked around at my surroundings hoping to reconize something. The room that I was being held in was made out of stone and earth like it was underground. There was a small window that allowed a little amount of sun and air to circulate throughout the room. It had bars over it so I knew that I wasn't going to be able to get out of here that way. There was a small twin sized cot that was bolted up against the wall across from the window. To the right of the window was a small personal bathroom with an old fashion bath tub, a small sink and vanity and a toilet that looks like it hasn't been cleaned since I was a baby. Gross. 

    I wasn't chained up for some reason and my only conclusion is that I had been out long enough that they didn't think that I was going to be a threat any time soon. Looking at the door that could only be the only way in, I listened to see if anyone was coming my way. Hearing nothing, I looked around to see if there was any cameras. Seeing 3 of them in the room, I looked in the bathroom and found none. 

"Oh wow look they actually have the decency to not be pervs." I scoffed to myself. Then I remembered my wolf. "OMG Saphira are you ok girl! Come on girl talk to me!" I feel her start to wake up and I felt so relieved. 

"Crystal where are we?" Saphira murmured, "Who took us and why did they have to do it in such a rude way?!?" 

"I don't know Saph. On all accounts, but I plan on finding out soon ok. Just rest up. Something tells me that we are going to have to fight our way out of this." I felt her nod and then she snuffed herself off to the back of my mind so she could rest. I decided that now was as good of a time to go to the bathroom and check my phone so I could see where we were and maybe get a hold of Apollo and Steel. 

When I entered the bathroom I noticed that the tub was the most logical place to go if I wanted to avoid all of cameras. Stepping into the tub and closing the curtain, I pulled out my phone from my hidden pocket and unlocked it. Seeing that I had a message, I opened it and immediately started to tear up. It was a message from Apollo saying that they would find me. Oh Apollo, I miss you so much. It has only been a........NO THIS CAN'T BE RIGHT! 

" Saph it has been a week! A week since that trip to the mall! How is that possible!?!?" I screamed internally waking Saphira up again. " What no it can't be a week!" She said in a sad voice. Sure enough according to the date on the message and on my phone it had been a week since we were last with our mate and all of the people that we love and care about. 

I quickly send a reply to Apollo knowing that he and Steel must be so worried about me. 

C: Apollo I am ok I think. I literally just woke up from whatever that asshole gave me when he kidnapped me.

A: Angel! Oh My God! Where are you baby? We have been looking for you this entire time and that asshole keeps moving away just before we get there. Are you ok? Has he hurt you at all?

C: Baby I am ok. From the looks of it I am underground in some kind of dungeon. As far as I know whoever it is that took me hasn't touched me, but then again I just woke up. Give me a minute so I can look up where I am. 

Closing my messages, I quickly open up my maps and look to see where I am. Seeing that I am about half a mile away from the ocean I was able to determine that I was close to where me and Steel used to hide from my mother and sister when we were younger. Going back to my messages I started to tell Apollo where I was when I heard someone opening my door. 

I quickly turned off my phone and placed it into my pocket. I cautiously stepped out of the tub and peeked around the corner into the room ready to fight if I have to. Standing in the middle of the room was the asshole that took me from the mall with a smug look on his face. Looking at him I knew that there was no chance that I was leaving here anytime soon.

Stepping out of the bathroom seemed to alert him that I was behind him and he quickly turned around and grabbed me by my throat. Still holding my throat he pushed me up against the wall and started to squeeze even harder. As I struggled to breath he seemed to take pleasure in my pain and my struggle.

"So you are the famed elemental queen that everyone is waiting for huh? I don't think so cause to me you look like nothing more then a weak little girl that wants to play dress-up." He growled out as he released me and let me fall to the ground. "To think that Apollo thinks that you would make a great queen is beyond me." 

Leaning towards me, he sneers and picks me up again. "Let's go have some fun shall we my dear. Let's see how strong you really are shall we?!?" With that he started to drag me out of my cell.

---A few minutes later---

After he dragged me out of my cell, he took me into another cell and strapped me up to a contraption that is set up in the middle of the room. It looked like a table with a huge hole in the middle of it that stands only on 2 legs. After he had me strapped up onto this table, he walked over to metal table that was on the other side of where I was. I heard him picking things up only to put them back down again. I think he finally found what he was looking for because he finally returned to where I was with a silver laced whip in his hand. Looking at it with wide eyes, I asked him, "And what the f*****g hell do you think you are going to do with that monstrosity?!?!?" 

"Oh nothing much, just gonna make your mate have some of the worst pain in his life. You see I used to be a part of the royal pack once upon a time. I made one mistake and your asshole of a mate decided that I needed to be banished from the pack. I had to leave my mate behind because she never would have survived as a rogue. So now I am going to make Apollo hurt and you are going to help me do that." 

With that he started swinging the whip across the front of my shirt, shredding it and my skin underneath. Not wanting to give him any satisfaction that it was hurting me, I turned all of my screams inward and only grunted outwards. He didn't seem to like my reactions and decided to change his tactics. 

Walking behind me where I couldn't see him, he started to whip me across my back and lower legs. This area was far more painful and all I could do was scream from the pain. After about an hour of whipping me, he decided that he was done and had one of his bitches take me back to my cell. 

The young man that took me back to my cell seemed very angry with what that asshole had done to me. Not long after he had taken me back to my cell and laid me on the bed, he told me not to move for a bit. He left for a bit, and when he returned he brought a first aid kit and a clean shirt. With him was a young girl who looked a lot like him. 

"This is my little sister, Amelia. I asked her to come help me stitch you up and get you into a clean shirt. My name is Conner and I promise you this, I do not approve of what Kaidon is doing to you at all. Before he kidnapped me and Amelia, I was a emergency room doctor for humans and never knew this world even existed." Looking into his eyes I could tell that he was telling the truth. Not to mention his scent was completely human and so was the girl's. 

Conner came closer to me and knelt next to me, "Now dear do I have your permission to stitch you up so none of these wounds get infected?" I nodded knowing that if I wanted to get out of here I was going to need the help of these two and knew that working with them just might save my life. 

With permission granted, Conner started cleaning and stitching all of the deepest cuts on my back. I did everything in my power to keep from screaming and decided that it would be a good idea to bite the pillow that was in front of me. Amelia came up to the other side of me and started to calmly stroke my hair to help me stay calm. 

----A couple minutes later----

Finally Conner was all done, and I was in a clean shirt. They tried to get me to change my pants but I told them that I couldn't do that. I looked over at the door that lead out of my cell and realized that there was someone standing out in front of it watching everything that was happening. When he saw that Conner was done he opened the door and motioned Conner over to him. He walked over to the guard and started having a long conversation with him. After a couple of minutes Conner returned over to where me and Amelia were waiting and the guard walked out of the room and locked the door behind him.

Looking over at us girls, Conner saw that I was confused and Amelia was scared. "Apparently Kaidon saw that me and Amelia are here helping you. As a punishment we are to stay here with you until whenever. However the guard is one of the few people that doesn't approve of what Kaidon is doing and is willing to help us out in anyway he can." 

With that being said, I knew that I could trust them so I asked them to help me to the bathroom. As we all made our way in there, Conner turned to leave but I asked him to stay. 

"I have to tell you guys something but for now I need to keep it between us only ok." I looked at them with a serious look and they both nodded, "Ok the reason I didn't want to take off the pants that I have on is because they are enchanted. No matter how many times someone searches me, they will never find the hidden pocket that I have in them. In this hidden pocket I have my phone right now as we speak. It is off right now but I am going to turn it on now so I can tell my mate the prince where we are ok." They both looked at me like I had just thrown them the last life raft on the Titanic. Nodding Conner looked at me with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Conner what is going on in that doctor brain of yours. I can see the wheels turning," Amelia looked at her brother like this is something that happens all the time. Conner looked at his sister with a huge grin that actually looked genuine for the first time.

"Hey sis do you remember that prophacy that dad used to tell us all the time? The one of the Elemental queen and her mate and their warriors?" He asked and she nodded, "Well sis I do believe that we are in the presence of that very queen right now. Ok we will help you, Crystal but we do need to let all of the other people who are on our side to get to safety or to be ready to assist." 

Nodding I looked at Amelia, "Hey will you help me take a bath while he lets them know the plan." Looking over at Conner, who seemed to like that plan I started to tell him what to tell them, "Tell everyone who is on our side to find some hot pink paint and cover their hands completely with it so that their hands are fully pink. I will let Apollo know that anyone with hot pink hands are allies and that they are not to be harmed what-so-ever." Nodding Conner heads out of the bathroom and shuts the door so he could take care of his part of the plan. Amelia helped me strip out of my clothes and into the bath tub full of warm water.

Grabbing my pants I pull the phone out of the pocket and turn it on. I look over at Amelia and see her by the door keeping a watch out for any kind of trouble. I pull up my messages and see that there are a s**t ton of messages from Apollo.

A: Angel! Are you ok? Where did you go baby? ANGEL! ANGEL ANSWER ME PLEASE BABY! COME ON SWEETIE I CAN FEEL ALL OF THE PAIN THAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH PLEASE ANSWER ME!!!!

C: Pollo I am ok now. I am so sorry it took me so long to answer you back. I had a run in with your good friend Kaidon and we had some fun getting to know each other. I am ok now thanks to a few people that are on my side. 

A: Angel! Thank the goddess you are ok. Baby I need you to send me your location. This craziness has lasted long enough. I am going to kill him and bring you home.

C: Understood dear but listen when you guys attack anyone with hot pink painted hands is on our side. Do not attack them. They need to be rescued just as much as I do. Here is the location. Show it to Steel. He will know exactly where this is.

A: Ok Angel. Hang in there I am on my way right now. Steel is standing right next to me and when he saw the location he literally flew out the door and was starting up the jeep. We are coming Angel. Steel says kick ass if you can but to make sure to leave him some baddies.

C: Understood Pollo. I can't wait to see my boys. I miss you guys. Please hurry.

With that I locked my phone and got dressed. When I walked out of the bathroom with Amelia, I found Conner waiting with a small plate of hot pink paint that he handed to Amelia. As Amelia started to cover her hands with the paint Conner came over to the bed where I was sitting. I looked at him with a determined look. 

"Ok time for some fun. All I can say is that being in captivity is a pain in the ass. Now lets go kick some ass. Let's get out of here." With that said we all left the cell and headed to where all the fun was about to begin. Let the games begin.
