The Night Wolf novel Chapter 77

"As a punishment, Justin should keep watch." Said Ed.

"But I have a date tod-"

"It ain't my fault."

"You made a mistake and you should make up for it." Said Nick as he was about to turns around and go back downstairs, but he paused and turned back around. "Wait, I forgot the most important thing."

"Ah, where is it?" Ed asked.

Nick fumbled around his pockets before he pulled out a-Willow stared dumbfounded at the packet of strawberry flavoured Capri-Sun. Willow backed up in the chair when Nick pierced the straw through the juice packet. Even if it looked like a harmless little packet, you never know what they had added into the juice. It might be some drug say, aphrodisiac, or some sedative or some hallucinogen or a depressant to make her tell them her cringe stories when she was a tween or worse, her card password.

"Drink this." Nick bought it close to her mouth.

Willow shook her head and pulled her inside making sure that it would be impossible to put the straw in her mouth.

"Drink it!"

"You drink that!"

Nick glared at Willow. "Ed, do it."

"I was waiting for you to tell me." Ed grinned.

Willow grew scared. No no no, this was not happening to her. She really hoped that this was a nightmare but the ropes biting into her wrists told her otherwise.

Ed, with a crazy smile on his face, walked forward. Willow glared at him, showing that she wasn't afraid of whatever he was going to do, but she was crying bloody tears internally. Then Ed was close to her he extended his arm and started tickling her.

Willow started crying externally as well, as she couldn't stop herself from laughing out loud. But her tears were true. She felt so miserable as Ed tickled her and the Nick put the straw in her mouth. Willow choked as the liquid ran down her throat, the red liquid spraying out of her mouth on to Nick who was standing in front of her. Ed stopped tickling at that.

Nick sneered. "Whatever, the prince will take care of you." He turned to walk away in anger. "Justin keep watch."

"Have fun." Said Ed as he wiggled his fingers in a wave, before gloatingly walking down the ladder and then shut the scuttle door.

Justin sneered at him as he went to look for rope around the attic. He returned and tied her legs, but unlike the last time, he tied them to the legs of the chair but as he was doing so, her pyjamas rid up, bearing her reddened ankles.

"What is this?" Justin asked suspiciously, his eyes narrowing.

Willow started sweating, could she just attack him? But Justin was the burliest among the trio, he could probably smash her into pulp.

"Well, you see, I'm allergic to peanuts and-and to shellfish!"

Willow thought about how if Rowan was in Onyxscar she could have told him telepathically, even though she knew that he was miles away, she still wanted to try calling out to him.

Willow called out for Rowan, doing it with all her might. Then she heard him, she heard Rowan, she knew then that it wasn't just her, imagining his voice.

Willow? Willow is that you?

Rowan?

Willow! Where are you?

I don't know. But there is this guy from school-

"Whose there?" Willow was snapped out of her connection the Rowan when she heard Justin speak and saw that the scuttle door opened up. In a whoosh someone had climbed up the ladder and was standing in front of her.

Willow gasped when she saw the familiar long dark hair and the tall stature, that exquisite face couldn't belong to anyone but Lark.

"Lark?" Willow was shocked.

"Lark?" Willow stared in horror at the man before her. What was Lark doing here? Did he come here to save her or-or was an accomplice, or could he be the 'Prince' Nick had previously mentioned? Willow didn't want to believe that, why would lark even want to kidnap her? Like she had previously mentioned, Lark would rather kidnap a five star Michelin chef.
