Dark mysteries

chapter. 16

I've finally regained awareness and tried to move but to no avail, I was tied up pretty tightly I tried to free only to hear a sound

" It's useless ......I tried " said a voice from across the cell it's dark to the point where I couldn't see her face all I could see were her injuries the deep bloody wounds and her bright white hair

I opened my mouth to reply ...." Marco" I heard ......." Marco ........ Marco ...wake up "

It opened my eyes and saw Janna

" What ?"

" Wake up we'll proceed on foot from here "

" From where ?"

" you'll see now move "

I got out of the car and stretched for a bit before having a look around, we were on the side of a road surrounded by trees the sky is clear and the sun shining

" How long was I sleeping for ?"

" you slept the whole night "

" did you put something in my food ?"

" drink ...and yes it's for safety measures also I got rid of your phone so Ferguson or anyone else can't track you "

" WHAT? .....I have so–"

" don't worry I just sent it to your house you'll get it back later .......And tell that computer nerd to stop keeping tabs on me it's hard to operate when you're always watched "

" how do you..... wait to operate?...what are you planning ?"

" if you want answers, follow me "

With that she started walking towards the forest out of curiosity I followed her

After an hour of walking, we reached an open area and ordered me to stop, put ten metres between us and pulled something from her pocket: a pair of scissors? ..they seemed very different I never see anything looking like this before it was like two little knives stuck together and it seems very sharp and I could see weird inscriptions on it with language I never saw before and I'm the history nerd

She turned around and approached me with it and I took a few steps back the air around her changed the look in her eyes was intimidating

" Janna.... what are you doing  ?"

Out of pure instinct, I took a defensive stance she kept approaching

" Janna say something ....."

It's pointless she's not listening, she then started walking faster closing the distance between us when she managed to put me in her attack range she thrust her scissors in my direction, she aimed for my heart

I managed to avoid it, she followed by a swing I dropped to the ground and she tried to stab me

I managed to roll away after kicking her in the leg she took few seconds to regain her posture by then I managed to take a stance as well 

" what are you doing? , You almost killed me "

What am I doing she's not listening I looked around for anything that can help me I picked the first thing I laid eyes upon which was a rock ....not a weapon of choice, but I was desperate

" Janna I don't want to hurt you, so why don't you drop the scissors and we can talk about what's annoying you "

She didn't say anything, she put both her hands behind her back and started walking towards me .... slowly but steadily she got closer. I tried to move back but my leg refused to move ..... I've been in situations far worse why can't I move ...... She started moving faster, as soon as she was in my range she tries to swing her knife but she left an open area I tried to hit her but it felt like my attack went through her

I stepped back barely surviving that swing she managed to give me a cut in the chest though

She started to move back again ten meters

She took few deep breaths before trying to approach me again

" is it because of the date joke? I won't do it again "

Again she just ignored me and within five metres of me she started to accelerate, faster than before 

I had split seconds to react which thankfully was enough to hit her hand with the rock, I managed to disarm her and kick her she took a few steps back putting yet again ten meters between us I bent down to pick the scissors

It was a mistake, I was already in her range....when did she get so close? ....with swift movements she dropped me to the ground laying on top of me with the scissors pushed to my throat

She raised her hand to strike. I tried to move but my hand and legs were pinned down ......well guess I'm a goner .....I accepted my fate, closed my eyes and waited for the impact ......... nothing

I slowly opened my eyes and I saw her with her arms frozen in the air she slowly let go of my hand and legs and stood up dusted herself off before she said " Well you just died ....you need a lot of training "

" WHAT? ....WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT ?"

" A test and you passed ....to some extent "

"A TEST?, YOU ALMOST KILLED ME "

" the keyword is almost "

" YA BECAUSE I WAS BARLEY DODGING YOUR ATTACKS, YOU WERE AIMING FOR THE HEART AND THROAT "

" I beg to differ, yes I was aiming for those but I would've never killed you "

" And I can swear some of my hits were going through you and how did you get this close this fast "

" well to answer your questions I'll need to show you something come on, get up, " she said extending her hand to me

I took her hand and she took a few steps back and tore a hole in the air using her scissors

" wh...wha.....what the is –"

" you want answers?.. then follow me "
