After meaningless prompting of who her kidnappers were that got her nowhere, Aubrey was slowly losing hope. She wondered where Parker was, she hoped he, and everyone, were okay, she was confused about Abyss’ pep talk to her, and she didn’t even really know who Oma nod Violet were.
Needless to say, the girl was confused, not to mention petrified.
They probably don’t even know you’re gone, they didn’t notice because you’re not important, they aren’t your friends-
“This one is puny! Even if we did corrupt her, it wouldn’t be of any use. Possession by the most powerful demon ever wouldn’t aid this one in combat. We should just throw her back.”
Aubrey perked up. Were they seriously discussing their plans with her while she was in earshot? How morbidly cliche.
“But we could use her.. as a gambling chip.”
Aubrey’s heart dropped. No, no no no.
“It- it won’t work,” she tried past a hoarse voice, and her kidnappers looked up, appalled that she’s been listening although it was obvious she could. “I’m just the useless one in the corner. Nobody wants to save the helpless weird girl,” she argued, forcing her mouth shut before her voice could waver.
What if that was true?
“She could be right.. did they even notice she was gone..?”
“No- nonono. I know your game, kid.” One of them interjected, walking over to Aubrey. Her eyes adjusted to see a woman in a dark coat, her platinum blonde hair up. “Do you really think we’ll give you up that easily?” She smirked. Her voice was soft but.. menacing, almost like a purr, and Aubrey hated it.
The woman leaned closer to her. “But who would you be most valuable to? The girl that you tracked down? Or perhaps the ice-ridden boy with a heart of gold? Or maybe the quiet one, nervously sticking back in fear of ruining things, hurting people..?” She suggested devilishly. Ice shot down Aubrey’s spine as if Abyss had sent it down her nerves. How did she know-?
“Leave them alone,” she tried, her voice quivering, “I already told you. I’m of no use, so drop it, you sick freak,” she hissed, trying to keep her lip from trembling. The woman looked at her and grinned, looking back at her companions.
“She’s the one. Maybe not important to them, but they’re very important to her.”
