The Phases: After Dark

Ok, so this is chapter 2 of this story. The chapters are quite short but there's only so much that you can do in one post.

The car purred into life, and Maria jerked out of her shocked trance. She could look around her properly now, and she saw that she wasn't alone in the back of the car. About 4 others were squashed in with her, and by the sounds of bumping coming from the boot as the car moved, there were several more in there, too. She could hear the kidnappers talking in the front, and struggled to hear what they were saying over the noise of the engine. "What about the one with the black hair and green eyes?" She heard the man say. "She could be cat of some sort."
"Yes." Replied the woman "I'd like her to be a raptor, but she does seem to be more of the cat type. She'll be one of yours, I expect." Maria froze. Black hair and green eyes? That was her! She'd seen the woman who wasn't human. They wanted her to become on of them! I won't let you. She thought. I won't become like you!! What she didn't know was that she didn't exactly have a choice.

Devic drove the car up the drive. A nondescript house with a nondescript garden, but a very non-nondescript gateway to the Raptor and Reptile Phase's HQ. Devic smiled as he got out of the car and started to heard the still terrified captives and Phases-to-be out of the car and onto the house. The night's fun wasn't over. "I know what you're thinking, Devic." Deada snapped. Devic scowled. Deada always had to ruin the fun. "They are all about 300 years younger than you and anyway they're for changing not messing with." Said Deada, pushing a few of the slower ones on. Devic hissed under his breath. Being an Elder was no fun anymore. Trust Deada to spoil things. But his mood didn't last for long. "Just one." He pleaded. He already knew the answer, but he liked winding Deada up. "Pleeeeease, Deada. I won't hurt them, just play a bit." He did this every night, and he enjoyed it. "No, Devic." Deada answered shortly. "You're an Elder. Start acting like one." With that she pushed the last of the captives into the house and closed the door in Devic's face. He sighed and unlocked the door with his keys. "Hellooo, Deada? I have keys, y'know?"
"I do know, I just wanted the satisfaction of closing a door on an Elder." Deada answered smartly. "Now come here. We need to sort out the kids." Divic sighed and went to join her. Now there was light he could see them properly and noticed that most were still in that weird sort of shocked trance. A couple were regarding them with fear in their eyes, but most were just staring blankly at them or through them. Only one was actually struggling. "Little green eyes." Devic crooned. "How are you? You have a good future with us." He laughed as the girl attempted to kick him. A spirited young one. He liked that. "Come on Devic, hurry up." Deada said wearily "I can't do it all on my own. Devic sighed. It was gonna be a long night.
