Rika
~~
As we were leaving the campus that afternoon, Reagan and I both were wary as we approached the different cars that were meant to take us home. Not that we sensed actual danger, but that there was something odd about the situation. I mean, I get why Ilana, Ashle, Lyssa and Alexa were there, but why were Kaede, Sophia and Isabella there?
Don’t get me wrong, I love my friends so much. I consider them to be more like family after all. Their parents were my aunts and uncles. They were my cousins. There was no changing that for me. But still, there was something off about this situation. Something that I wasn’t able to process in the beginning, but that I was still sensing. And that was why it was so confusing to me. What the hell was the matter with my senses?
Part of me was telling my body to run away. To get away from these people. That I was in danger. But I just couldn’t get my mind and body to agree with each other. I knew these people. I knew that I was safe. And I knew that there was nothing to worry about. And still, my senses were screaming at me.
I sat in the front passenger seat of the car, next to Lyssa who was allowed to drive today. As I was buckling my seatbelt, I happened to turn to look at Reagan in the other car. They were already starting to speed away, but I saw that CJ was tying my brother to the seat.
“What the? What is happening over there? What is going on?” I turned to look at Lyssa just as she too started to speed away. And Kaede started to do the same thing that CJ was doing to Reagan. She was throwing things around me and tying me to the seat. I was able to break them, I was sure of that, but I was also at a loss for words. “What are you doing?” by the time that I got my mouth to work, there were at least half a dozen bindings around me.
“We were told to kidnap you.” Alexa said from the back seat. I saw through the back window that Isabella, Sophia, and Ilana were following our fast and hectic path through the city with ease.
.....
“Kidnap me? Who the hell told you to kidnap me? And why? I mean, you’re my friends and family, why would you do this to me? Why?”
“Ha ha ha. Kaede laughed as she grabbed her phone. “Relax, Rika. Just watch this video.” She put her phone in front of my face and turned on a video with my sister in it. Talia was grinning when the recording started, and I just felt dread starting to fill me up.
“Hey there big sis. First of all, I love you. Don’t think that this is anything negative, alright? I know that you didn’t want a birthday party, or at least you said that you didn’t. Well, I think that you did want one, or at least you didn’t realize that you wanted one. And what’s more important is that you need this. I know you and Reagan were saying that you don’t need to celebrate now that you are adults, but that is bullshit. I mean, come on, Mom and Dad still have parties. You need one too. And not only that, sis, but you’ve been so tired and stressed lately. I can see it when I look at you, and I don’t really like that. I want you to relax, get better, and then come home on Sunday. All that work will still be here, waiting for you. There is nothing to worry about. This entire weekend has been taken care of. And I just know that you are going to love it.” She grinned widely. “Love you sis, and I will see you this weekend, alright. Bye. And have fun.”
“Hahh.” I sighed softly as the video ended and Kaede took her phone away from me. “I can’t believe her. She knew that I didn’t want a party.”
“Yeah, but we all-.” Alexa stared from the backseat. I cut her off though. I had more to say.
“I said, she knew that I didn’t want a party. However, given that this is coming from Talia, I think that I need to pay attention to what she is saying. She is smart and really powerful. If she thinks that Reagan and I need to get away, then that is what we need to do. I love her, and I am going to respect what she has to say.”
“Good.” Lyssa said as she continued driving. “Because we are almost there.”
“Where are we going?” I asked her as I looked around the area that we were in. “And, can you untie me? I won’t run away. I promise.”
“Yeah. OK.” Kaede took the bindings off of me while laughing. Lyssa, on the other hand, told me where we were going.
“We are going to the Goddess Well Resort. That really expensive all inclusive place that opened up a few years ago. Talia thought of everything. We have a full package with all food and tips covered. We get all the spa treatments that we want. And we’re staying in the Royal Delight suite, which is like a damn house. It had six bedrooms, a hot tub inside the room, and an open air bath on the balcony. And the room service menu is pretty extensive.”
I was smiling by the time that she was done explaining where we were going. I had wanted to go there, but I hadn’t had the chance. I was too young to go alone when they opened up, and there has been a lot going on since I turned eighteen. Now though, I was about to enjoy this wonderful luxury resort.
“I think that this is going to be amazing.” I grinned at them all. “I know that this is going to sound crazy, but thank you all for kidnapping me.” We all laughed at that as Lyssa pulled into the covered driveway for the resort. Men rushed out to open the doors of our car and the one that Sophia was driving behind us.
“Welcome to the Goddess Well ladies. Your room is already prepared and the luggage that was sent over for you has already been taken to your room. The paperwork has been signed for already, so there is nothing else that you need to do. Miss Rika, might I wish you an early happy birthday.” The man that opened my door, tall with a pleasantly tanned face, bright yellow eyes, and a distinct wolfish scent to him, welcomed me personally. I could guess that with him being a werewolf, he was notified of our arrival ahead of time. Now that I thought about it, this place is one that our people opened. It was run almost exclusively by nonhumans. So, they were used to our kind. That would make things a lot easier.
“Thank you.” I nodded at him. “I am happy to be here. I have been looking forward to it for a long time.”
“Well then, I hope that you enjoy your stay. You will have a personal concierge assigned to you. Her name is Amelia and she will see you to your rooms.” He leaned in a little and whispered a little softer, so no humans were able to hear him. “And she is a Fae, so she will be able to see to all your needs while you are here.”
“That is wonderful. Thank you.” I nodded at him and stepped to the side. I saw Amelia then. She was about five feet tall, that was it. Her eyes were a bright green that looked like a gemstone. She had a pleasant smile and a knowing look on her face. Her hair was a soft and pale pink that went really well with her dark complexion.
“It is nice to meet you all. And happy early birthday Miss Rika.” She winked at me, letting me know that she knew who I was, but we were in public, so she couldn’t call me Princess Rika at the moment. “Come with me and I will show you to your room.”
The others and I followed Amelia across the driveway and toward the door. The front of the resort looked like almost all of the others that were in Colorado. They were pretty standard here, but it was still really beautiful. It looked vaguely rustic, but with a very civilized feel to it. It was mostly white, rather than the timber and log cabin look. They had the timbers though, trimming the entire building, the doors, the windows, and all of that. The lawns were covered in snow, and I knew that there would be people here for skiing trips and other things like that.
The inside of the resort was where it differed from the others in the area. This place was modern, and very high end. The art, the décor, all of it spoke of how much money they had poured into this place. And it also told me why most of their clientele was female. They catered to women, or families with a strong female presence in them. This place was a woman’s paradise. And I just couldn’t wait to see what the spa had in store for us all.
We were taken to the bank of elevators that were to the side of the concierge counter. There were nine elevators in all. Four on the left and right sides of the hall, and one that was at the end of the hall.
“These elevators only go to specific floors.” Amelia was explaining. “The ones on the left will only go to the first six floors. The ones on the right will go from floors seven through ten. The one at the end of the hall is for eleven and twelve. You are on the twelfth floor, and that means that this is your elevator.” She stuck a keycard into the slot and pressed the call button. “It will only work with the card entered. You call it like this.” She said as the door opened quickly. “And then, when you are going to your floor, you put your card in again and press the button for the floor you need. The elevator will not function without the key.” She said the words again so that we would remember.
“Alright, sounds good.” I nodded at her. “We will remember.”
We rode up to the top floor with Amelia and waited for the doors to open. I thought that when they did open, there would be a hall with multiple doors that opened to multiple rooms. Nope, the elevator opened to the room itself.
“There are four elevator banks in the hotel, and for each of floors eleven and twelve, they open exclusively to the room the keycard is for. This is the only elevator you can take up, so please remember that as well.” She explained as she guided us off the elevator. “Come on now, I will give you a tour.”
As Amelia showed us around the room, I saw that there were indeed six bedrooms and seven bathrooms. There was an extra bathroom so that we didn’t need to go into the bedrooms to use that one. There were two living rooms, a full eat-in kitchen, a formal dining room, an office, a library, and a large balcony with the open air bath, tables, chairs, and a fire pit. In total, there were three fireplaces in the suite as well, which I loved. I didn’t really need the warmth, but I loved fires that burned in a grate like that.
Amelia started the fire in the main living room, showed us where everything was, and the fact that the kitchen had been stocked with snacks for us. The information for the snacks had been given to the staff by our families, so they knew what we liked.
“You ladies are free to do whatever it is that you want. This place is yours for the weekend, and everything is already paid for. Please, enjoy yourselves and let me know if there is anything that you need from me.” She bowed and stepped back into the elevator.
“You know what, girls?” I smiled at them. “I think I really enjoy being kidnapped.” I laughed with them and started to get really excited for this birthday weekend of mine.” The smile on my face said it all.

I knew that Talia had been right to send me on my birthday party trip. I was going to need to tell her that when I got home. And not only that, but I was going to have to do something really special for her now. This was just such a major thing that I couldn’t help but smile and laugh.
The others were just as excited as I was. We talked almost immediately about what it was that we wanted to do first, whether we were sticking together or spreading out and all that sort of thing.
