Forgotten past

5

I stared at the candles lit up in a row on my floor. I had managed to start with one then two and in the end I had a row of 5 candles I could light at the same time with my magic. I was pretty proud, I wanted to show Michael but I also really didn't want to see him.

I had a lot of questions about him I wonder who he was before this, his powers, where does he come into my life? Or maybe he didn't.

I stared at the candles letting my mind wonder which I shouldn't since it was a black hole with too many questions.
Someone knocks at the door "I'm coming in" clearly it was Michael since he didn't even ask.

He walks in to the sight of me on the floor proudly staring at my candles. He smiles down at me "You have mastered it then?" I nod excitedly standing up to him. "Do you wanna see?" He holds his hand out dismissing me "no we don't have time. I need to speak to you before our guests arrive." He gestures to sit on the bed. I do just that he doesn't follow he simply paces around the room slowly with his hands behind his back.

" since you are here with me, they need to know you aren't just for my selfish needs, they need to know we are training. They know who you are, but I have requested for them to not entail any information about your life before. I simply don't want any interference with your mindset. That time will come, but not yet corelena. Can I trust you to not poke them for information and back me up. They have to know we are working hard purposefully. they are from the co operative and we work closely to keep these outposts and survivors in check. They have doubts in my bringing you here. Understood?"

"Umm understood. But did I know them before this I'm confused?"
"Your already starting." He stopped facing the wall.
Oops I just poked an angry bear.
"Sorry. So why are they coming I mean better yet how are they coming what about radiation or some shit."
He turns back towards me his face softer than I was expecting.

"We have the right equipment off course we were thoroughly prepared. You have an hour to be downstairs by my side. Best behaviour." He approaches me kneeling down with his face inches from mine.
"This is a warning corelana not to be taken lightly. I will make you suffer if you pull any stunts." His breath fanned my face, I was almost to lost in his shadowed blue eyes to actually take in his threat.

I came to my senses taking a big gulp. "Yes mr langdon."
"Good. I will see you in an hour miss woods." He stands up leaving me almost frozen to the spot.
As he leaves I sink down on to my bed lying at the ceiling. Make me suffer? What kind of suffering, this guy is a fucking psycho. Half of me wanted to pull a stunt just to piss him off but I really did not want to know what suffering entailed.

He was impassible to read, so hot and cold but his eyes were too familiar something inside me told me somewhere deep down he meant no harm to me, maybe since I was a use to him or maybe I had know those eyes before this. I guess Time will tell.

I decided to take a quick shower allowing my hair to dry before our dinner. I actually felt like I could put on some make up, might as well right? I found some cool eyeshadows n some blush. Some mascara and lipstick can't hurt either.

I looked in the mirror and almost felt like I recognised myself even more. Like I could see myself before looking this way somewhere. It was unimaginably strange staring at your face and not knowing the real you.

Emma knocked in perfect timing as I slid my Dress on she helped my tie it up at the back.
"You look wonderful corelena." She smiles at me in the mirror lacing her hands over my long hair.
"Thank you Emma. I'm nervous I don't know why. These people could have known me and now they see a blank slate of a person an empty shell." I looked down frowning.

"Miss Corelena. They will understand anyway you don't have to worry about lacking charisma." She pats my shoulders turning me around. I smile gratefully at her words.
"Alright I'm ready let's go."
