Is this destiny?

Sarah returned to the sofa where she was sitting with Aiden previously, and found their two drinks on the table. Aiden was not in sight.

Sarah looked at the bar area and saw Andrea and Clara at the bar, chatting with two other girls. 'These two are unusually normal tonight. Is it possible that they learned their lesson?'

She glanced through the playroom. 'Where is Aiden? Restroom, probably. If he went anywhere else, he would let me know.'

Sarah decided to sit and wait. 'He should not need more than few minutes.'

As soon as Sarah took a seat, several guests approached her, wishing her a happy birthday. Seeing that Aiden is not around, they wanted to take a chance to talk with Sarah.

…

In a small shed, hidden within lush foliage, Dodson brothers were looking at Aiden who was unconscious on the ground.

"Let's tie him up quickly and leave! Here." David handed zip ties to Dylan and Derek while holding flashlight on Aiden.

"Yeah, we need to go back as soon as possible. Hopefully no one noticed that we are missing." Dylan said while tying Aiden's hands behind his back.

"Plan is still on, right?" Derek wanted to confirm while tying Aiden's ankles.

"Yes. You wait in the same place. We will get Sarah out." David said with a smirk.

"OK. It's not like I'm going inside the party. We don't want to risk people notice that there is three of us." Derek confirmed.

Three brothers love to play tricks on people. They look alike so much that even their parents mix them up sometimes, and they usually dress in matching clothes. In public, you can never see more than two of them together, that is why everyone assumes that there are only two Dodson brothers. Dylan is like a secret ace they have, even if he shows up, he will say that he is David or Derek (whoever is not present).

Three Dodson brothers looked at Aiden who was now tightly tied up and gagged on the floor.

"Let's go. Klark sisters said they will come later. They want all of us to show our faces at the party at the same time before they head out." Derek opened the door and ushered his brothers out.

"What do you think they want to do with him?" David asked while watching Derek close the door of the shed.

Derek shrugged. "I didn't ask. Who cares? Let's focus on our prize."

David let out a snicker. "Yes. Sarah Hill... She looks juicy."

"Only you can describe a girl as juicy..." Dylan chuckled as three brothers squeezed between two bushes while walking toward Hill family property.

…

"Hey, hey... give birthday girl some space!" David cried as he made few people around Sarah move away from her.

"Oh, one of new neighbor twins... and the other twin is here as well." Sarah didn't like David's cocky behavior, but she was grateful that he moved people away from her.

"Did you forget my name already?" He chuckled. "It's OK. I'm David. And this is Derek." David took a seat next to Sarah.

"Happy birthday!" Derek wished Sarah and sat on her right.

"Thanks..." Sarah stood up. She was not comfortable being sandwiched between two brothers.

"Why so jumpy? We are not hitting on you or anything." David said as if he is offended.

"Not that you are not attractive, it's just that you are not our type." Derek added with a smile.

Sarah looked at them with suspicion that there is something going on.

"Oh, don't be offended." Derek chuckled.

"I'm not." Sarah frowned.

'Where is Aiden? Why is he still not here?' She looked around and when she could not see Klark sisters, she started getting anxious. Sarah ignored two brothers who tried to talk with her and took a few steps back. She tapped her earpiece. "Eve, where is Aiden?"

"Unknown." Eve's voice came from the earpiece.

Sarah was confused. "What does that mean?"

"He is not on the property." Eve responded.

Sarah was stunned by this. 'Why would he leave the property?' It took her few seconds to collect herself. "When did he leave?"

"21 minute and 46 seconds ago. He walked out of property boundaries with David and Derek Dodson. Since then he is out of my surveillance area." Eve responded.

"Dodson brothers...?" Sarah mumbled.

"You called for us?" David spoke in Sarah's ear. He startled her. Too focused on what Eve was saying and distressed by Aiden's disappearance, she forgot to pay attention to her surroundings. Sarah instinctively took a step away from David and bumped into Derek.

Sarah looked at them for a second before flashing a smile. "Yes, yes I did. I would like to talk to you. How about we step outside?"

David widened his eyes in surprise. "It's like you can read my mind! I was just thinking how it would be nice to get to know each other... as neighbors, of course."

"Stepping outside can give us a privacy, so that we are not disturbed." Derek added.

As they walked out, Sarah glanced at each of them. "Do you have a convenient location in mind?"

"Yes! Yes, we do!" David was excited that all this is going much better than expected.

"Lead the way, then." Sarah walked behind them into the darkness. As the darkness around them increased, so did Sarah's expression change, as if she is harnessing dark energy from the surroundings. While walking, she was thinking where Aiden could be. 'Did these two do something to him? Impossible! There must be something else going on.' She wanted to use GPS locator on Aiden's ring to find him but didn't want to use it in front of Dodson brothers. 'I need to be patient. Soon I will see what these two are hiding, and then I can look for Aiden.'

She was paying close attention to her surroundings, noticing that Dodson brothers are not walking randomly through the dark. 'They are going directly to some place. Are they leading me to where Aiden is? I need to be cautious of any traps... Or do they have more people waiting in the ambush somewhere?' Sarah was having a hard time controlling the urge just to beat these two guys up and find Aiden. She was getting more and more impatient and had to remind herself to stay calm and focused.

…

In a small shed, a camping lantern suspended from the shed roof is providing enough lighting so that you can see Andrea and Clara staring at Aiden with grins on their faces.

"Finally! Revenge will be sweet!" Andrea exclaimed.

"We waited so long for this!" Clara stepped toward Aiden and extended her arm. Her hand is holding a bottle with spray dispenser.

"What are you doing?!" Andrea grabbed her hand and pulled her back. "It's too soon!"

"It takes few minutes to work. Right?"

Andrea took the bottle from Clara's hand and kept it on the shelf on the wall. "Even with that... we are not in a rush. He is tied up and still unconscious. Andrew said that is a powerful aphrodisiac. We don't want him to get all crazy before we get our revenge on that bitch!"

"You still want to take pictures?" Clara smirked.

"Absolutely! First, we take pictures, and send them to Sarah. After that, she will never want to be with Aiden again. And then we can have our way with him… after we show him the pictures we sent to his beloved girlfriend." Andrea laughed out of joy how her plan is perfect. "Imagine his face. He despises us, yet he can't hold himself back! I get all tingly while thinking what all we will do with him!"

"Perfect revenge." Clara praised her sister.

"Of course! Now, let's start. Remove his t-shirt. We need to have more skin exposed for the photos."

Clara paused for a second. "With his hands tied in the back, it's not possible to remove it."

Andrea rolled her eyes. "Well, find something to cut it up! I'm sure we can find something sharp enough in this shed... if nothing else, let's break the window, and use glass. We can cut him up as well once we are done with him.." Andrea had an evil grin on while gazing at Aiden.
