Untitled Part 18

                                    

                                          
Felicity leaned against the wall trying to get her bearings. The room was dark and smelled of damp and dust. Felicity tugged on the chains as she sat up against the wall. She knew that Oliver and Tommy were on their way and luckily Slade had left her alone. He had not been back since shackling her to the wall.
                          
Felicity felt a soreness in her neck. Her hand froze, her fingers skimming over something that made her blood run cold. She had two bite marks on her neck. She bit back a cry of anguish, placing her hand over her mouth as the full realization of that hit her. Slade had bit her.
                          
Why could she not remember that? She must have been knocked out and the realization that he had done it while she was out was even more horrendous. How was she going to tell Oliver? Thank god Slade had not turned her. She didn't think Oliver would have survived that.
                          
Tears fell down her face as she settled back against the wall. Fear and despair were trying to creep their way in, but she knew Oliver and Tommy would be there soon, so she tried to push it away.
                          
She jumped when she heard the door to the room open, the sound like fingernails on a chalk board as the door scraped open.
                          
"Ah, I see you are awake." It was Slade and Felicity felt revulsion run through her as she heard his voice.
                          
Slade walked into the room, his red eyes glowing and his fangs visible. Felicity's hand went to her neck and Slade smiled a cold smile.
                          
"I see you found those." His eyes looked at the bite mark that marred the porcelain skin on her neck. "I totally understand now why Oliver is enamored of you. Your blood is like nectar. So sweet."
                          
Felicity's eyes flared in rage as she thought of him biting her while she was unconscious. "You are a monster Slade. Don't you dare touch me again."
                          
Slade moved closer and grabbed her arm, his fingers biting into her flesh. "I am a monster yes and I will do with you as I desire." His other hand ran along her neck and Felicity fought trying to pull away. His touch made her insides clench with nausea. With her hands shackled there was no way to defend herself and Slade tilted her head to the side again, his eyes bright with evil intent. Before she could stop him, he bit her, and her screams bounced around the walls. He drew blood from her and then immediately let her go the cold smile on his face showing her blood dripping from his fangs. He was proving to her that he could do anything he wanted with her. There was no one here to stop him.
                          
He had bit her to show her that he could and as Felicity slumped against the wall he released her with a sneer. "Don't ever tell me that I can't do something. You are lucky that I have need of you, otherwise I would not hesitate to drain you of all your blood until your cold corpse lies at my feet."
                          
Slade stood and walked to the door. Felicity spat at him her eyes filled with hatred. He turned and smirked at her and then walked out the door closing and locking it behind him.
                          
Felicity collapsed at that point. The feel of his teeth sinking into her neck and his breath hot and acrid made her want to throw up. She swallowed the bile rising in her throat and cried as she prayed that Oliver would get there soon.

Oliver and Tommy were approaching the castle when Oliver stopped in his tracks and his wolf growled. Tommy came up quickly behind him almost running into him and when he saw the look of rage on Oliver's face he became concerned.
                          
"Oliver what is it?"
                          
"Felicity is scared." He could feel the fear flowing from her and he knew it had to be because of Slade.
                          
"Oliver, we need to focus. Once we get in the castle Slade is going to have the upper hand because he knows it better than we do. We need to figure out a plan and get Felicity the hell out of there."
