chapter 8

James regains consciousness with a groan. He tried to move but found himself unable to move his arms. He opened his eyes but quickly regretted it as he hissed in pain. After steadying himself for a bit James opened his eyes again to find he was in a basement. Again.

"How many times is this going to happen?" James thought with dread as he began to look around and he find that his arms were tied behind his back and his feet were tied together too. He soon started to panic when he heard another voice.

"Thank god you're awake i was honestly getting bored" the voice said. James shifts around to see Amber in a similar position though looking much calmer than him. "Yo." Amber said calmly. James however did not feel the same way Amber apparently felt about this situation.

"Where are we?" James asks through the pain. Amber shrugged.

"Don't know but we are still alive so that proves my theory about the vampire wanting a witch so yay us." Amber said semi cheerfully. James' eyes widened when she finished her sentence.

"We've been kidnapped?!" he half whispered, and half screamed at her. Amber for all intents and purposes looked at him with a blank look.

"I mean yeah but it's not that big of a deal." Amber said. Before James coil reposed, Amber cut him off. "You and I still have our seals on us, and he probably thinks you're a witch too due to the fact that he didn't a.) kill you or b.) left on the street so along as we don't fuck this up and wait until Syl and Wilf get here we'll be fine, ( I think).' James laid his head down and closed his eyes. Amber was right though he thought about how Sylvia must be worried about them and wondered how his roommate felt about his disappearance until he began to hear footsteps.

"Stay alert." Amber whispered her voice suddenly low. "He's coming" the door opens as a man in a white tank top and blonde dyed hair walks in. He looks around for a second before speaking in a deep, gruff voice.

"I know you shitty brats are awake so don't even bother." Almost immediately after he said that Amber sat up.

"Aw shucks you got us." Amber said with her bound hands raised up.

"The hell that was quick!" I yelled as I lifted my face up, making the man grimace. He ended up kicking the cell bar so hard it bent in irritation.

"Shut the hell up, my head is still ringing after what you did to me last night." he shouted after clutching his head with his hand. Upon seeing the bent bar, me and Amber went silent. After a while he seemed to regain control of himself before looking down at us. "So, which one of you is going to tell me what I want to know?" he said as a dark grin began to etch on his face.

I gulped "know what?" 

His grin grew winder. "To become a god of course." he continued. "If you help me become a god, I'll let you both live, understand? Oe else…" he gestured to a table with a blade on it. "...I might have to get creative." he finished with an unnerving smile. I began to tremble. Is that really possible to become a god? Before anything else happened, Amber spoke.

"Yeah, I'll help you. You got the ingredients?" Amber said almost so casually I whipped my head off to see her.

"Amber!" I was shocked. However, the vampire grinned and answered cheerfully.

"Hell, yeah just wait a minute." he said before leaving to get the ingredients. I turned to Amber again.

"Amber what the hell! I thought you said it wasn't possible!" I half whispered and half screamed.

"And it's not." Amber replied" but if we're going to stall, we need for him to believe it. Hopefully it is not going to be for long." Before I could reply, the vampire returned with the ingredient which mostly consists of random plants and guts of people and animals that smell horribly.

He dropped it on the floor before opening the cell." don't you two try to get any funny ideas or else." he made a slitting motion on his throat. Before walking in and untying Amber.

"Right." Amber said looking at the product with clearly hidden disgust "let's do this."
