《Abducting Ruby》Chapter Nine.
Advertisement
When the music stopped, Ruby tried not to flinch away as Master shackled her wrists, chaining her to Olivia.
In the center of the stage, Davina kneeled, blood trickling from her knees and feet.
Master didn't move to chain her. He didn't even seem to pay her any notice as he lead Ruby and Olivia from the room.
The door leading out of the theater creaked loudly, sending a chill down Ruby's spine.
Every step down the dark hallway brought fresh tears to her eyes, but Ruby kept her focus on her surroundings, looking for something that might help her escape.
Master didn't speak. He just smiled victoriously as he dragged them through the building like dogs.
The hallway lights flickered above, causing Ruby's head to ache.
Her feet burned and it was as if she were walking on glass all over again.
As they neared a pair of doors, Ruby observed a flier on the wall. It was faded, but she managed to see that it was an advertisement for a play that had showed years earlier.
But it wasn't the play she was interested in, it was address at the bottom. Their location instantly made sense. Master was keeping them in the old theatre of her home town.
When she was only a child, it had been shut down after an incident that left many actors dead. She had always gotten a spooky feeling when she passed by it, but she never in her life thought something this sinister could be going on inside.
Master pushed through the double doors, entering an old dining room. Chairs were scattered throughout the room and most of the white tables were stained and broken.
Ruby and Olivia were walked to the best looking table and Master motioned for them to sit. The chairs creaked under their weight and Ruby was afraid her chair might collapse underneath her.

First, he wrapped the chains they were connected to around the tables leg, securing it, then he walked back to the double doors and pulled out a small key, placing it in the doors lock.
He turned, targeting a kitchen-like door and disappeared inside.
Ruby pulled at the chains, hoping they would come loose around her wrists. Tears of frustration starting running down her cheeks and she groaned in defeat.
"You need to calm down." Olivia said, watching her.
Ruby sobbed, "I can't."
"You can. You did great today. Just stay strong a little longer."
The words had barely left Olivia's mouth when Master came rushing back into the room. He had a tray of pizza in one hand and two bottles of water in the other.
Master placed the food and beverages on the table and walked back towards the doors. "Enjoy dinner, my loves. I'll be back to get you soon."

The Humble Life of a Skill Trainer
For Joshua Still, Skills were the lifeblood of his business. He wanted to understand them, collect many of them, and teach a few of them. Which was a problem because while his profession of a Skill Trainer was perfectly legal, it was frowned upon by most of the kingdom. After all, it wouldn't do for a non-tailor to teach Tailoring.

The Blight
Ten years ago, the Blight appeared. A beautiful forest, where the leaves and animals glowed brilliantly at night. It became a wonder of the entire world, and people began venturing from across the continent to visit it. No one took it any more seriously than that, not in the beginning. Then the disappearances started. At first, it was just farm animals and pets. Then, hunters and travelers close to dusk. By the time children started disappearing from villages, it was too late to do anything. The Blight was spreading, from tree to tree like a sickness, crawling out in all directions. The animals and beasts inside it changed as well. They grew larger, stronger, and more ferocious than anything seen before. Simple farm animals became horrific monsters, distorted to disgusting proportions and violently spreading chaos out from the forest. When the first reports came in of infected animals dragging people alive off into the forest... then the real panic began. Towns fell to the Blight, then cities. Armies were sent to push it back, and were overrun. Heroes and legends ventured out, to no avail. Soon, it was public knowledge to all: Those who entered the forest, never returned. ...So what happens when a young boy comes out of the forest, carrying nothing but a dagger and remembering nothing but his own name?
