Chapter 24

I woke up with a start.

Thankfully the lights were dim. But that ceiling fan was unfamiliar. I sat up immediately and looked around the unfamiliar surrounding.

Where was I?

I was lying on an enormous bed with feathery bed covers. Other than a built in wardrobes and a bare vanity table, the room was bare. I got off the bed and headed for the door.

What the...?

It was locked. My panic started rising. Why was the door locked? I banged on it.

"Hello? Anyone out there? Gabriel?" I yell between bangs. Putting my ear against the door, I listened for any sound. There was no sound. What was happening right now? Why was I locked inside a room?

Phone! I searched my pockets for my phone. But there was nothing in my pockets. Someone had removed everything from my pockets!

My heart was racing. Oh! What to do?!

A window! I ran towards it and pushed aside the curtain. It was dark outside and there were no lights. I tried opening it but it was sealed shut.

Oh my God.

I went back to door banging. "Open up! Let me out!" I yelled over and over but still no response.

That little sneaky man had drugged us! I knew he couldn't be trusted. But where was everyone else? Where they in some bare room wondering what was going on? And Nana? Where was she? Had Damien lied to us?

What about Finn? Was he alright? That thought undid me. I'd anything happened to my brother I swear I would kill that perve!

I banged the door more vigorously making it as loud as possible.

Gabriel too. If anything happened to him too I don't think I could ever rightly function.

I banged the door until my arms hurt so I used my feet and soon they too were hurting.

Soon though someone was bound to come. And I'd be ready. I sat on the edge of the bed red anger lines surrounding me.

Damien Schwartz wasn't going to know what hit him.

I wasn't sure how much time I waited for someone to come seeing I had no watch or phone but after what seemed like an eternity I heard the lock turn.

I jumped up from the bed and stood with my arms outstretched ready to deflect.

The door swung open and a large man appeared. He paused when he saw my stance but only for a second before he started towards me.

"Don't come near me." I warned.

He smirked and in two large steps he was in front of me. It was only then that I noticed the gun on his hip.

"Move." He ordered nodding towards the door.

I shook my head.

He took of his gun from the hoister and pointed at my head. "Don't make me ask again."

Fear bellowed inside me. This was the first time a gun had been pointed at me head in an actual threat. Back at Dad's base I knew he wasn't actually going to kill me but this man...he had lethal intent.

So I complied terrified about the gun pointed at my head but relieved to be leaving that bare room. We trudged down an equally bare corridor then we turned into another very dimly lit corridor

He nudged me forward with the gun. I literally jogged forward flinching away from the cold steel.

Finally he stopped me by a door which opened with his free hand and led me inside.

I entered slowly taking in the room at a much slower pace. It was a large oval shaped room which I suppose was for entertaining guests? There were a few seats haphazardly placed around one lavish seat. And in the seat, Damien sat with is eyes trained on me.

"Thank you, Tom. Leave us." He muttered and Tom backed out of the room.

I glared at him. "You! You drugged us!" I accused hotly pointing viscously at him.

He stood up and approached me. "Please sit, darling." He extended his hand towards me.

I backed away from him. "Where is Gabriel? And Finn? And the others?" I quizzed ignoring his question.

"Sit first and I will tell you." He said.

"I would rather stand and you will tell me exactly what is going on here." I demanded crossing my arms over my chest.

Damien sighed. Then he inched nearer.

"Stay away from me." I warned holding out my hands.

"Or what?" He asked with a smirk.

Under no circumstances must you reveal yourself to a human. Gisele's words came to me. "I will hurt you." I hissed.

He smirked even more. "A wee thing like you?" He scoffed. "Sit down while I'm still asking nicely."

"Or what?" I spat.

In one long stride he had reached me and he grabbed me by my hair and pulled me towards a seat in the middle of the room. I screamed and placed my hands over his and tried to pry his fingers off but they were clasped around my hair. He forced me to sit in a large comfortable chair.

"Urgh! you...brute!" I screamed rage consuming me.

"Feisty little thing, aren't you?" He remarked calmly sitting opposite from me. "I like that in a woman."

"You are short, bald and a kidnapper. I loathe that in a man." I spat back.

He reached over and slapped me hard across the face. "A smart mouth, I however, hate."

I screamed from pain and surprise. My cheek strung from the pain. I reached over to slap him back but he caught my hand in an iron grip. Quickly, he grabbed my other hand and pulled me roughly to his seat.

"Let go of me!" I said through gritted teeth. I brought my leg up and kicked him in the shin. He gasped and released my hands one of which I used to punch him in the nose and he fell back in his seat. I jumped to my feet and ran for the door which thankfully opened and I raced out of the door down the corridor. I didn't know where I was going but I didn't care I just had to get away.

As I rounded a corner, I suddenly strangely felt light headed.

"What-?"

Someone had lifted me off the ground by my waist and he tossed me over his shoulder. I screamed and kicked as he carried me back to the room i had just escaped from. We got in there and upside down,i saw Damien with a white handkerchief pressed against his nose. I had hurt him. Good.

"Put her down and send someone to get the chair." Damien ordered softly.

The man carrying me dropped me to the floor. Then he took a radio from his pocket.

"Sid, bring the chair." He spoke into it.

"What's the chair?" I directed the question at Damien who ignored me. I looked at the big guy. "What is it?" I asked him.

"Shut up." He snapped at me.

The door burst open and a man carrying a metal chair entered and behind him another man carrying some kind of a machine followed him.

"What is that? What's that for?" I asked in alarm.

The man who had carried me stooped down and stared me menacingly in the face. He crooked his head to the side and raised an eyebrow. "Didn't I tell you to shut up?" He breathed.

I flinched and leaned away from him. "Leave me alone." I whispered fear gripping me hard.

He quickly reached over and tightly gripped my chin one hand.

"I still hear your voice." He whispered tightening his grip on my chin.

I gasped as the pain intensified putting my hands over his in an effort to get rid of his hand. "Leave....me alone!" I yelled between breathes.

"You little -"

"Gibs." Damien's voice interrupted him. "Don't frighten our guest."

"Yeah, Gibs." I smirked as best as I could given the situation.

Gibs hissed then he roughly tossed me to the side as he removed his hand.

I rubbed my chin as I straightened.

"Tie her to the chair." Damien ordered when the two men had set up the chair and machine.

"No!" I screamed scrambling away from Gibs. "You better not touch me!"

Even as I said it, a smirking Gibs was lifting me off the ground. He was obviously going to be able to tie me up but I sure as hell wasn't going to make it easy for him. So I kicked him, bit him, spit on him and I kept mind controlling the rope away from me. Not too far but enough to aggravate and confuse him. With the help of the other two men, he finally managed to tie me up.

Damien then waved them away. I breathlessly watched as they left closing the door behind them. I blew a lock of hair out of my face.

As soon as the door closed, Damien turned to me and slapped me hard across my face. I gasped as my head felt like it would explode.

"That's for kicking and punching me." He informed me.

"Loose me." I demanded breathlessly.

"Why would I do that?" Damien asked softly raising an eyebrow. "You will probably try to run again."

Again he slapped me on the same spot. I went momentarily blind as pain seared through my head.

"That's for trying to run." He crouched down in front of me and gazed into my eyes. "How stupid are you? There's nowhere to run. This is all my property and within five steps someone would have blasted your pretty head off. And even if by the slightest chance you do manage to get out of this building, we are in an area so remote birds don't even get here. So yes, be clever and and attempt to run away again and I will show you exactly how I discipline disobedience." He said his voice growing colder with each word.

There was no way out? There was no way out. What do I do? Would I die here? What the hell did he want from me? Maybe if I gave him what he wanted he would let me go. And I still didn't know where the others were. My face was probably going to bruise really badly from all the slaps. Oh yeah, that's what I should worry about this moment when I was tied to a freaking electric chair!

I took a deep breath before a had a panic attack.

"What do you want from me?" I whispered.

He stood up from his crouching position then he pulled up a chair and sat opposite me.

"Ma chérie." He reached over and ran his hand down my cheek. I flinched away but he only came nearer. "Tu es belle." (Translation: My sweetie. You are beautiful.)

"Don't touch me. And answer me!" I demanded trying to move even further away from him.

"I want you." He said simply withdrawing his hands and sitting back in his chair.

"To do what?" I asked with a frown.

"To be my mistress." He smirked.

"What?" He didn't mean like a sex partner, did he? I was suddenly having trouble breathing.

"Darling, you are not stupid." He replied confirming my fears.

Breathing became a great difficulty after that. I wasn't going to be anyone's mistress. I didn't want to be anyone's mistress! I had never even had a boyfriend. I was a freaking virgin! And this monster wanted to lay his hands on me? There was no way in hell I was going to let that happen. I couldn't, I just couldn't!

"I...I will not..." I breathed. "I will not be a...a...a..mistress."

"Yes, you will." He said quietly. "And I'm sure you will enjoy it."

"How could I possibly enjoy being forced into being your mistress?" I yelled.

He crossed his legs. "You will be well taken care of. Anything you desire you will get." He stood up and started circling me slowly his hands running over my arms, neck and hair. "Shoes, dresses, hair, jewelry." He said breathing heavily on my neck as he pushed my hair to the side. "Whatever you want I will give you." He whispered and he kissed my neck.

A nasty shiver of disgust raked through my body as his moist lips slobbered over my neck. I had to swallow the bile that rose in my chest.

"Get of me!" I screamed leaning as far from him as my confines permitted.

Just to prove who was in control, Damien lingered on my neck a little longer before he straightened. Tears filled my eyes.

"You are already mine, Santana. You aren't going anywhere." He walked back and stood in front of me.

I blinked rapidly to dispel the tears. I didn't want this pervert to see how terrified I was. "Do you think that Gabriel won't come looking for me?" I hissed.

Damien laughed as he took his place once again in front of me. "Gabriel isn't coming back sweetie. It's a death wish. If he ever shows his face here again I will kill him. I would have killed him yesterday when he came, that was the plan. But then I saw you." He smiled. "You saved his life, ma chérie. And your grandmother's life. But just this once. If I see his face again i will kill him. And he knows it."

All I could do was breath heavily.

"And there's no way he could find this place anyway. So if you want him alive, you better wish he doesn't come here."

He wasn't bluffing, I could tell. He would really kill Gabriel. And the chance that Gabriel would find this place was also very slim. I...I had to get myself of here before Gabe came here. Or he would be killed! I could never live with myself if he died because of me. Or if anyone else died because of me. But there was no way I was staying with this monstrous pervert. I had to find a way out.

"You won't get away with this." I whispered emotion gripping my throat.

"But I already have. Noone will ever find you here so the sooner you accept your fate the better. I don't want to have to keep punishing you, baby because your cheek is already bruising." Damien advised.

"I will never be your sex slave!" I cried desperately. I had to get away before it was too late.

"I just said I don't want to punish you but I will do it if I have to." He stood up and walked to the electric machine. I tensed as he drummed his fingers on the dials. "I have some very effective means of persuasion." He glanced at me with a smirk.

I swallowed hard as I closely watched his fingers. I had never been electrocuted before but it seemed like a painful torture method. I did not care to find out just how painful it could be. How had I managed to get myself into this kind of situation?

I didn't deserve this. The tears that had been threatening all day spilled down on my cheeks. All I had wanted to do was to get my grandmother but now all I had done was exchange places with her. This was such a freaking mess! But I wasn't going down without a fight. I swear.

My vision was blurry because of the tears so I could hardly see Damien anymore but he was still standing by the machine.

"This particular machine is new. I will need to test it." Damien mumbled almost to himself.

"No- "

"Get comfortable. This might hurt a little."

"What-" extreme vibrating heat suddenly hit my body from every pore as the electricity rushed through my veins. I screamed involuntarily pulling away from the constraints but I couldn't get loose but the overwhelming pain wouldn't stop.

My whole body was on fire and my skin felt like it was burning. Even my screaming voice sounded scorched.

"Stoooooppp. P..ple... please..." I begged but it was as if Damien had left the room. He wanted me to die. This is how I was going to die. The most painful way to die.

Oh my god. My head was spinning now and I was getting light headed. All I could see in front of my eyes were little circles...many many pretty circles...red and yellow circles...

Gabriel...

That was my last coherent thought before I slipped out of consciousness.

* * *

I was sore on every inch of my body.

I groaned.

I was lying down on my back on something cool and silky. Opening my eyes slowly, I realized it was a bed I was lying on in a dimly lit room. With a groan, I sat up in the bed and looked around. I was in a room different from the one I had woken up in earlier. This room was more carefully and tastefully decorated and the bed was huge.

A large mirror covered an entire wall. I stood up and walked to the large mirror.

My jaw dropped.

What in the world was I wearing?

Fishnet stockings held up by suspenders?

Blood red sexy lingerie?

And to top it of a very flimsy see through night dress.

And my face was unrecognizable! I was plastered in more makeup than a Disney princess.

Then it hit me. The reason I was dressed up like a whore. It was because I was about to become one!

The minute that thought entered my head, I launched into action. I ran towards the wardrobes to look for something to cover myself with but they were all empty! I opened every drawer and door I could find but still found nothing behind them except in one drawer which was filled with sex toys and condoms. When I saw this, the urge to hurl was overwhelming but I had no time to waste on throwing up! I had to get out of here.

By now I was beyond hysterical because i had tried the door and it was locked. As I was running around frantically in the room trying to look for a way out, I heard the lock jingling and I froze.

The door opened and Damien entered with a pleased smile plastered on his face as he looked me over. I heard the door lock behind him.

"You look ravishing." He said taking off his jacket.

"Dont come near me!" I warned holding out my hands. I wasn't supposed to use my powers but the situation was dire. If I let him have his way with me, I could die!

"I'm sure by now you know not to fight me, ma chérie." He said with a hint of a warning in his voice. He slipped off his shirt. My stomach churned at the sight of his bare and extremely hairy chest.

"You don't know what I'm capable of. So I'm warning you, Damien!" I deepened my threat.

"Oh, I love the way you say my name." He said with his eyes closed.

Taking advantage of that lull in the conversation, I mustered as much power as I could and aimed at him. It hit him square on the chest and surprise registered on his face as he rose in the air from the force of the blow. He then fell to the ground.

I ran towards him and I kicked him repeatedly anywhere my leg could connect with.

"Take that, you filthy son of a bitch!" I said

But my victory was short lived, Damien grabbed hold of my ankle and pulled me to the ground.

I screamed then proceeded to throw my tiny fists at him. I made contact with his face more often than not. But he was stronger than me, in no time at all he had me pinned face up to the floor.

"That's was feisty." He remarked with victorious smirk. "But save that for the bed." He smiled.

"Let go of me!" I was still struggling but it was useless because each of his hands was pinning down each of my hands and his knees were pinning my legs.

"Not yet." He bent down for a kiss but I turned away so the kiss landed on my cheek. I shuddered.

He then trailed wet disgusting kisses down my neck that made the hairs on my body stand on end.

"Please..." I cried tears pouring out of my eyes.

"That's right, beg for it." He said against my skin.

"Let me go!" I screamed so loud he put one hand to his ear. Taking advantage of my momentarily free hand I accessed my power once again and this time it hit him on the shoulder and he fell off me.

I stood up quickly and ran to the door but before my hand even touched the handle, I was lifted off the ground and promptly deposited on the bed.

"No!!" I continued struggling.

"Thats enough, Santana! I have my limit." This time the look in his eyes was deadly but I didn't care. I sure as hell wasn't going to make it easy for him to rape me.

"I reached my limit the minute you kidnapped me. And I will not let you get away with it!" I said trying to free my hands.

Damien held both my wrists in one hand and placed them above my head on the bed.

"Stop struggling and I won't hurt you." He said making an attempt at being gentle. He brushed several strands of hair off my face.

"Stop touching me and I won't hurt you." I hissed trying to lift my leg high enough to kick him.

He slapped me hard across the face with his free hand. "You have made your choice." He whispered in my ear then he started kissing my neck again.

I was powerless against him. I couldn't shake him off. This was obviously a losing battle yet I didn't stop fighting his hands slipped down the sexy night dress ripping it apart in the process and it fell open revealing the sexy underwear.

His hand slid down and started undoing his belt.

A sudden commotion outside made him still his actions. I also stopped struggling to listen to the increasing noise. Damien's grip loosened on me and almost immediately, the door broke from its hinges and came flying into the room along with a man who crushed on top of it and passed out.

At this point Damien was completely distracted so I mustered all my power and I felt it traveling through my arms, into my hands and out through my fingertips. The force that came out from my hands was colored I'm red and it flew hitting Damien square in the chest. His body flew off me, into the air and came crushing to the ground.

I looked up and on the threshold of the room was Gabriel looking at me with an intensity that gave me energy to jump off the bed, my feet grew wings and lunged myself at him in an overwhelmed embrace that made him stagger back a little.

He had come for me.

I breathed in relief. I was saf-

My train of thought was cut off when Gabriel threw me to the side. I turned back and saw him staring at Damien with a murderous rage in his eyes.

He stalked over and picked him up by the neck.

"You made a mistake when you decided to mess with me." Gabriel hissed at Damien. "A mistake that will cost you your life." With that he threw him against the wall with so much force, bits of the wall chipped off.

Damien had still not lost consciousness but he was weak and he struggled to get up. He threw a weak punch at Gabriel but Gabriel knocked him to the floor again.

"Stand up!" Gabriel ordered him and he obeyed only to be knocked to the floor again.

Damien was bleeding from the mouth and tried to get up several times but he failed. Gabriel drew back and used his powers to lift him up and hold him suspended limply in midair. The look on his face was beyond frightening. It looked like he was going to kill him.

"Gabriel..." I whispered trying to return his senses.

Gabriel's head snapped as he turned to look at my frightened face. He took in my disheveled state and my torn night dress which I was holding together and my tear streaked face. His jaw clenched and he looked back at Damien.

"You like hurting women?" He hissed at him.

Damien spat out blood. "My women." He whispered back.

"If you come anywhere near her again, I will break more than just your legs." Gabriel said lifting Damien higher then sent him crushing to the floor.

I screamed as I definitely heard bones break.

Damien lost consciousness.

Gabriel then pulled off his shirt remaining with a white vest. He handed the shirt to me. "Put it on." He ordered.

I obeyed then followed him towards the door. It was only then that I noticed Fabio fighting left and right with Damien's men.

"Come here." Gabriel ordered and I walked over to him. He bent down and slid his hand under my knee and lifted me off the ground.

"No put me down. I can help you fight." I said to him.

He looked down at me for a second. "Im sorry." He said then he placed his two forefingers behind my ear and pressed.

"What-" I frowned but even as I said so I felt myself loosing focus of Gabriel's face as I slid out of consciousness.

=====================
