Snatched Up
(Freckle's POV)
I thought the whole point was to bring the creature back alive but now Rocky wants to involve beartraps, explosives, and a tractor. We don't even have any of those and to top it off, his plan was completely insane. I stepped back when I saw how this plan could go wrong in so many ways and then sat down to think. How is any of this possible? Was that a demon that I saw back in that building? They look much different than what I was shown in drawings or told about but I never really saw one so I can't be sure. I looked over to Ivy who was peeking into the building some more to see whatever that is in there.
I wondered how my mom would act if she saw what we saw in there with us... Then again, she would make an effort to punish Rocky first, me second, and most likely pass out from shock. This night is off one's nuts.
Rocky-So Freckle, you ready to put in the old elbow grease?
Freckle-We don't have anything you had planned for.
Rocky-Ohhh, Freckle. It's like I was walking alone in my days of youth and adventures. We improvise.
Ivy-Or we can wait for them to sleep. They already look tired.
I peeked in and they flinched while trying to look smaller under the table. I just don't know if it's him just trying to hide or if they really are tired.
((Y/N)'s POV)
I didn't think I could go to sleep ever again. They were still there and this place looked important so more monsters might come in when the sun comes up. Why won't they leave?! Soon they went quiet again so I think they left but what if it's a trap? I got up to go peek at the window but I didn't see them, yet their car was still out there.
(Y/N)'s mind-Maybe if I am super quiet, I can make it out of here.
I took my stuff and put it all in the bag before I opened the door to look around.
(Y/N)'s mind-Where'd they go?
I kept on moving until I started running to the exit and then I heard a violin playing. It echoed around and I looked around for them before it suddenly stopped.
(Y/N)-AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!
I ran as fast as I could but then something was thrown over me. I tripped but I didn't hit the ground because the thing that covered me was a blanket and it scooped me up to trap me! I kept on screaming and tried to get out of the big gaps left in, but they got covered.
Rocky-Huzzuah! I have captured the figure from an unknown origin!
Ivy-Uh, Freckle and I caught him and it was his plan. You even almost blew it!
Rocky-I would have been fall guy if things didn't go as planned.
Freckle-Can we just go? I don't know if these blankets will hold for long.
(Y/N)-NO!!! LET ME OUT OF HERRRRREEEEEE!!!
(Rocky's POV)
We went into my victory carriage to ride off to the others who didn't believe in me. Ivy wanted to drive so Rocky and I had to hold the creature captive like this. They kept on punching, screaming, kicking, and I think trying to bite but they got tired before we even reached the city.
Rocky-What do you think it is?
???-GET AWAY!!!
I got kicked in the face and my ears were ringing. I got my answer though.
Rocky-Feral, Freckle... Feral and a giver of chin music.
Freckle-Maybe if you stop poking at whatever they ar-. Ah!
A lump came from my blanket and hit baby face in his cheek before going back to curling up and crying. It's like a rattlesnake ready to strike when you least expect it. A few hits from a time never hurt anyone too bad.
Rocky-Onto the next order of business. The acceptance speech.
Ivy-Rocky. We have what could be an alien for all we know that can do who knows what. If it's a baby then it has to come from somewhere so the last thing we need is a snazzy speech when we are driving with the alien in the car!
I leaned over to lean and the creature a little.
Rocky-*Whistle* What chew on her glad rags? This is a moment of discovery in the name of sci-!
I got hit in the head when the creature screamed and kicked again.
Freckle-Maybe stop yelling and startling it. *whisper*
(Ivy's POV)
Rocky started to make a speech until we reached the city and had to be quiet. The fuzz finding out we snatched up someone would be bad enough if we draw too much attention. If they see who or what we snatched will be the difference between being in the big house and being in the lab in a cell next to them. We made it back to the speakeasy after Rocky made the small thing lash out many times since he couldn't keep his flapper shut. I still don't think this is a good idea because if this tiny creature is about the age of a child... then where are the parents that will be sore with us?
???-AAAHH-!!!
Rocky did his best to silence the creature before anyone could notice and then took it out of the car.
Rocky-Speech is ready and science marches on. After you, Ms. Pepper.
I had to keep on taking deep breaths when I got out and then held myself a little from the shock. Freckle looked nervous too.
(Zib's POV)
I just got back from doing a small show for Ms. M and they night was still young so I had time for a few more drinks. Made me think about the three that left on a wild goose chase. Then again, Ivy and Freckle get a free breakfast.
Wick-You don't think Rocky really took them all the way back to the junkyard for a tall tale, do you?
Zib-It's Rocky. Would you really be surprised? Besides, his little posse gets free food after and I still don't have to care.
Mitzi-Wonder if we should have gotten free food too... Then again, it's the money I pay him with.
Viktor just stood there cleaning another glass and scared off another customer by just looking at him. No surprises there because the big guy's main emotion is stoic. Just then, Ivy came back in holding herself a little.
Mitzi-Ivy... Is everything alright, Sweet Thing?
Ivy-Um... Rocky and Freckle are waiting for you all in the back.
I had never seen her like this before.
Zib-What happened out there? You look like you've just seen a ghost.
She just went to the backroom again and this got all of us curious. I would think this was going to lead us into an ambush but I know she would never do that to us and have us croak.
Mitzi-Let's go see what it is they found.
This still made me nervous.
(Mitzi's POV)
I gave Viktor a look before he took a gun out from the counter and I had my little pistol under my dress still. Wick and Zib came in behind us and it looked like Rocky set up a stage at the last minute. He and Freckle were on a big box with a bag... or a blanket that was tied to make a bag. I even heard whimpering that belonged to a child.
Rocky-Ladies and gents! Please, take a seat and be ready to be dazzled by a mesmerizing experience!
Freckle-I don't... wanna be up here. *mumbles*
This was going to be a whole thing, was it? I just sat on a stool back here and Viktor put his gun down... Only to pick up a broom. I put a hand on his arm to stop him from going over there and hitting Rocky with it.
Rocky-Before the big reveal, I have prepared a speech. One that will be given a spot in history!
Mitzi/Viktor/Wick/Zib-*Groan*.
Rocky-When I was but a young lad, I have been called-.
???-AAAAHHHHHH!!!
The bag went wild and I was sure a child was in there. They rolled around until the boys held it then the bag came undone for... I don't know what to fall out with a bag!
Mitzi/Wick-AAAAHHHHHHH!!!
Zib-WHAT IS THAT THING?!?!?!
Even Viktor stumbled back in surprise! IS THIS WHAT ROCKY WAS TALKING ABOUT?!?!?!
Rocky-If everything went as planned, I was going to get to that!... I don't know.
Freckle covered the creature up while I curled up on the stool to make sure it didn't touch me while my heart was pumping like a hot steam engine! The creature broke free and ran around aimlessly and away from us before it cornered itself. It running around gave me a heart attack. Viktor had his gun pointed at them which made the creature breathe so fast that it flopped to the ground then Rocky got in front of us.
Rocky-Wait!... Does this mean you can all admit I was right?
Viktor-Ty sumasshedshiy ublyudok!
Mitzi-Viktor, wait and put the gun down!... As for you Rocky, you better start explaining!
Rocky-I did last time I was here.
Wick-Someone... catch me.
*Thud*
(Timeskip 2 Hours)
I had the creature taken up to my office since I didn't want others downstairs to see... whatever this creature was. We used the blanket to wrap it up and I had a bed put in my office before I chained its hands and feet myself before I had everyone leave... I had its bag with me and put it on my desk before pulling out a bigger gun with more power to it just in case anything tries anything funny. I started by poking it thinking about the monster movies Atlas took me too when they just came out. After a few pokes, I opened the bad and saw a flat rectangle on top of some clothes.
Mitzi-What the-? *whisper*
I picked it up and there was nothing I saw as a flashlight until it had light coming out of it.
Mitizi-Woah. *whisper*
I gently put it down to see how to work this thing. It was just so light and had no buttons. How does this even work? I gave up and checked to see a plug for an outlet and what must be for this machine. The rest were clothes that I had never seen or heard of the brands they come from.
*Rattling sounds*
((Y/N)'s POV)
I was starting to wake up and I just had the craziest dream or nightmare... I quickly felt something on my arms and legs and they were cuffs. I opened my eyes to see that I was cuffed to a bed and tried to scream but something was in my mouth. It hurt to pull on them but I kept on trying to escape until my body froze when I saw a monster before my tears made most of my vision blurry.
(Y/N)-*Muffled cries*!
I kept on pulling and she stood a few feet from the bed. She was going to eat me!
???-Um... Hello there. Can you understand me?
I kept on crying but nodded my head yes.
???-Oh... Didn't expect that... My name is Mitzi and you seem to be just as scared as me but if I take out the gag, I want you to not scream. Can you do that?
I looked around and I saw a gun on my table next to my stuff which made my body shake. I nodded my head again and tried to stop crying... I couldn't but she slowly took out the gag. She looked like she was scared of me but she was the monster that had me tied to a bed!
Mitzi-Do you have a name?
(Y/N)-*Whimper*.
Mitzi-Not a talker, are we. Well,... we'll come back to that.
She tried to ask me questions for a while but I couldn't bring myself to talk. She brought my tablet up to me but I couldn't get it before my hands were still cuffed to the bed. She looked tired and put some washcloth and tape over and in my mouth for a new gag.
Mitzi-Sorry. Just can't trust you yet. That being said, it's time to hit the hay.
I thought she would leave the room but all she did was turn off the light and went over to a couch in the room to lay down. She kept on looking at me until she finally closed her eyes and I knew this because her eyes were glowing a little in the moonlight. I just have to stay up longer than her so she doesn't try anything.
(Mitzi's POV)
Everyone that knows about this creature is going to be disappointed tomorrow that I didn't find out anything. They won't talk and I can see they are just scared just like I am. I don't want the boys to get rough with the creature so maybe I can tree food and drinks to bribe or encourage them into talking.
Mitzi's mind-I feel so restless right now... I'm probably gonna be up all night and all day tomorrow at this rate.
