XVII- Rules

*Babe, what's wrong? Where are you?*

*H-Harry-* Brooke's thoughts were cut off and she gasped when there was a sharp prick in her neck. She looked up at Ben with wide eyes as he removed the needle from her neck. She suddenly couldn't feel Harry.

He was gone.

"W-what-"

"It's a nice little invention of mine," Ben smiled. "Blocks the mindlink of mates and pack members. Now get in the fucking car."

"Go to hell," Brooke snapped.

"We're already there," Ben whispered and grabbed the back of Brooke's neck, shoving her into the trunk of the car. She yelled out and fought against him, but he over powered her.

Brooke looked up and her eyes widened when she saw a button on the inside of the trunk. She was sure it released the trunk from the inside.

"Oh, Brooke, it's not going to be that easy," Ben chuckled and he grabbed Brooke's arm that wasn't in a cast and handcuffed her to the inside of the trunk.

"You bastard," Brooke hissed. "You're going to regret this, Harry's going to-"

Ben rolled his eyes and held his had out. The guy passed him a roll of duct tape and he ripped a piece off, securing it over Brooke's mouth.

"Now, Alec," Ben turned to the guy- Alec- and smiled. The trunk was suddenly closed and Brooke was surrounded in darkness. She could still here Ben. "Let's have some fun, shall we?"

Tai watched with wide eyes as the man who had kidnapped Brooke drove away. After being at the diner with Brandon and Raiden, she had eventually managed to go on the run she planned.

The run didn't last very long before she stumbled upon... that.

Tai swore and burst out from behind the trees. She rushed over to Sasha who was sitting in the car in shock. "Oi, wake up!" Tai snapped and opened the car door, shaking Sasha.

"W-wha-"

"Move over," Tai ordered. "Move the fuck over, you withering idiot!"

Sasha gasped softly, and let Tai push her across to the passenger seat. "Brooke- she- g-gun-"

"Shut up," Tai said and got into the drivers seat. She started the car and sped off into the night. "I know what you've just experienced is frightening, but I'm sure Brooke is going through worse than you. You need to man the fuck up, and tell me exactly what happened. Who was that guy?"

"I..." Sasha's breaths came out in short gasps. "He... he was dead. He- that's not possible-"

"Hey, um... Shit, what's your name?" Tai said. She knew this girl was one of Brooke's friends, but she hadn't met her properly.

"S-Sasha."

"Okay, Sasha, what do you mean he's dead?" Tai asked.

"Brooke said Harry killed him!" Sasha panicked. "I thought he died in a car crash!"

"Sasha!" Tai yelled. "Who the fuck is he?"

"His name is B-Ben. He was Brooke's manager, before he d-died," Sasha choked out.

Tai sighed. "God, this town is fucked up," she muttered. "What else can you tell me?"

"I don't know!" Sasha cried. "What's going to happen to Brooke!"

Tai gritted her teeth. "I have no idea."

Tai slammed the breaks on the car when she reached the pack house and she jumped out, running up to the front door. She smashed her fist onto the wood and yelled loudly.
