Like ocean to me

chapter 34

Emily p.o.v

Fuck you random happy couple, I think while lifting my middle finger to another innocent random person on the street.

Fuck you too drunk group of goofy friends.

Fuck you; oh, Dan?

- Dan what are you doing here ? - I ask, putting my hands behind my back, now realizing that what I was doing wasn't exactly... morally correct.

- What are YOU doing flipping off random people ?

- I'm just, frustrated.

- That doesn't sound like a good excuse - If only you knew, I think. But he has a point, its not an excuse. But it doesn't make me want to do it less.

I regain consciousness to the sound of a door being unlocked and open my eyes to Silvia standing awfully close to me.

- you know, you look nice all tied up - she says, taking a step back with a laugh.

- thanks ? - I reply, squinting my eyes to see her better. 

- you know, I knew your brother, personally I mean - I hope not too personally.

- oh, ok. - I answer instead.

- so I mean to tell you that the whole reason you're in this situation is his fault.

- t seems to me that its your fault tho, you were the one that tied me after all.

- yeah but I wouldn't have had to tie you up if your brother had just been a normal-

- still sounds like your fault. I could even make a list if you'd like - I interrupt

- its not! - she shouts while stamping her foot.

- Geez ok... - I surrender - what's the big deal anyway... your fault or not I'm still here. 

It takes me a moment to get there, but her expression sells her off. 

- Are you perhaps feeling guilty? - I ask, expecting the answer to be no. 

she slowly sits on the table in front of me and crosses her legs, laying her head on her hands, looking at me. Right now, Silvia doesn't look scary at all, she looks adorable, and I hate myself for thinking that.

- Honestly I am. Your brother's actions are not your fault...

- See!? That's exactly what I've been trying to explain since the moment I got here! That is, that I don't even know what he's done. Does that mean you'll let me go? - I ask hopeful.

- well, regardless of how you have a point we still have to use you as black mail, but we'll probably let you go after.

- PROBABLY?

- Almost certainly.

- ok... - Almost certainly isn't that bad huh? But if there is a chance I will be killed and left in an alley I want to know what I'm leaving this earth for - .. will you at least tell me why you're doing this?

- Doing what exactly ?

- This - I say trying to make a showing movement with my hands, but quickly remembering they're tied up - you know, brainwashing Andrew, kidnapping me... and also you guys seem to be planning something pretty bad.

- well that's... pretty complicated.

- I don't have anything better to do - I chuckle.

- ok - she smiles - Get yourself comfy then, you're in for a long story.

she jumps out of the table and comes close to me,

- Relax - I hear without her saying it.

she moves closer to me and puts her palms over my eyes, an instant foreign feeling flowing over me, commanding me to stay still but making me want to run with all I've got.

- Don't move otherwise this isn't going to work - This time I'm not sure if she actually said it either.

- A long long time ago, in a time humans were yet to exist, many more cretors roamed this earth....

But they weren't the only ones, there were also the children of the moon and the children of Saturn...
