further away and reached for something on the other side of the aisle.
    She was being paranoid. She shook her head and carried on around the corner. She was so used to being on high alert and expecting something bad to happen, that it was consuming her every moment. She had to snap out of it, she had to get her life back on track.
    She continued around the rest of the store and she picked up two whole chickens that she could roast later that day for the men at the house. She’d baste them and cook them with veg and potatoes and hope that they would appreciate it for once rather than complaining that it wouldn’t have been what they would choose.
    She could never win.
    They were all impossible to please.
    After she paid the girl at the register and loaded up her bags, she made her way out of the store and around the corner, into an alley that led to the parking lot. It was strange for the middle of the day, but it was unnaturally quiet down there and the way the buildings on either side of the street were angled meant that the sun didn’t reach down to the walkway and she was in virtual shadows.
    She felt a cool blast of air coming from behind her and then she heard the engine… She wouldn’t normally have turned to look, but she had been so unnerved that day that she almost did it automatically. She stopped and turned to see a huge, blacked out van flying down the alleyway towards her. It all seemed to happen in slow motion, but it was so fast she didn’t even take a breath.
    The van screeched to a halt beside her and the back door slid open. Two men wearing balaclavas jumped out and lunged at her, her shopping bags smashing to the ground and the milk bursting and gushing around their feet. She was so stunned, she didn’t make a sound. The men had hold of her by the arms and they were pulling her, dragging her, forcing her into the back of the van.
    She didn’t stand a chance. There was no way she could fight them off. They bundled her into the back and the driver was flooring it and speeding out of there before the back door was even fully closed.
    Whoever they were, they had taken her.
    Destiny had been kidnapped.

5.
     
     
    She held her breath. The van bounced over the bumpy potholes down the alleyway and swerved out onto the main road of Ironhill. Destiny’s heart was in her mouth, she couldn’t focus on anything, none of it seemed like it could be real.
    But it was.
    Too real.
    The driver swerved again and Destiny slid across the floor in the back of the van and slammed up against the opposite wall. When she looked up all she could see were the two men who had grabbed her looking down at her with dark eyes glinting out from the holes in their balaclavas.
    Her heart pounded inside her ribcage.
    She dug her heels into the floor and bit her bottom lip. She was determined not to scream or cry.
    After a few moments one of the men pulled the balaclava off over his head and sighed. She recognized him instantly as the guy from the store. Now he wasn’t wearing the cap, she could tell who he was and why he was so familiar to her.
    Her eyes flicked across to the next mystery man and she waited for him to reveal himself too…
    He pulled the woolen mask from his face and looked at her dead in the eye.
    It was King… She was sure of it…
    King, one of the leaders of the Forsaken Riders of Slate Springs.
    Even though she knew that they were going to be coming for her at some point, she still felt the disbelief and shock hit her as she locked eyes with him.
    Her past had caught up with her, and now she was going to pay the price.
    Her lip started to quiver.
    She looked at the man from the store and tried to remember his name… She knew she had met him several times, and she was even certain that he had dated one of the girls from Red X. She willed herself to remember.
    Knowledge is power, she told herself. The more you can remember, the more of an advantage you’ll have with them…
    The more minutes that went by, the
