Fall With Me

Sorrow | Chapter 22

Before I can begin to speak Mr Stealth covers my mouth with most of his hand.

"Elora!" I say muffled. I try to scream shake out of my position but his grip is too tight and the ropes start to dig into my wrists. I can feel them cutting the pain gets worse but I don't care I need to get out of here. My wrists start to splinter and cold blood runs down my hands. I'm tried now, I'm exhausted. I wimped escapes my lips and I stop helplessly.

"Finally, I thought you'd never stop, allowed you are bleeding quite the bit." Mr Stealth whispers in my ears with his snake like voice. I look down at my drained wrists to see tons of blood all over the ropes and my skin. The blood drips onto the freezing floor. However my it's as if my gosh is sizzling up and burning through the cold air.

The pale man let's go from his grip and I am in a hurry to use my voice.

"Let her go! Let her go!" I screech.

"Sure, but only if you answer my questions." He sneers.

"I won't answer anything from you." I spit.

"That's too bad sweetheart." Explains Mr Stealth.

The man who wheeled Elora in puts duck tape over her shaking lips, even though she wasn't talking. I notice my face is wet and feel embarrassed as Mr Stealth is enjoying this.

"Guess her life is going to end then." He grins at me."

"Fine!" I accept this because I can't let him kill, not right now at least.

"Jolly!" He beams.

I look at him miserably before two more pale men walk in the room wheeling some technical device. I frown at it because I have no idea what it is.

"What on gods earth is that?" I chuckle lightly.

"It's a lie detector test." He smiles.

"Well I'm already gonna tell the truth." I state.

"Just a precaution, if you lie I will slit her throat with this knife." He says pulling out a knife from his pocket as the sides of his small lips part upwards. I gasp. I don't know how I'm going to deal with this. What have I got into? How could I let this happen? No, I need to let this happen smoothly.

"Well you said you wouldn't hurt my family." I tilt my head at him.

"I didn't promise." He smirks back. Ugh I wish I killed him when I got the chance.

After awhile of fixing the ugly machine thing and applying it to my pressure points he finally speaks.

"Right we ready?" Mr Stealth asks me.

I look at Elora who is shaking her head at me with worried eyes. I decide against her.

"Yes." I look at Mr Stealth.

"Good, let's start easy."

"Alright." I say.

"What do you know about me?" He asks.

"Hmm let's see, I know your a physco teacher who's an asshole."

"When you didn't lie there but answer me seriously or..."

"Or she dies yea."

"I'm not gonna ask you again." He says seriously.

"Well let's see you turned my best friend Daniel, you've tried to kill me and your working with a coven which is very pathetic." I finally answer.

He shrugs his shoulders at me.

"How long have you known your a siphoner."

"Not long." I speak lightly.

"Oh so you've only found out recently, interesting." He bends down to my face.

"Come for another spit in the face?" I ask sarcastically.

"Are you scared?" He lets his face grin again.

"Yes..." I say as if nobody can hear my words.

"Hah! I knew it!" I says with such joy. But I am about to destroy his joy, every last bit of it.

"I'm scared for my family. I don't care about my welfare." I say proudly.

He goes over to the machine to check it. He speaks to the men but I cannot hear them as it is inaudible but I know what he's saying anyway.

"Yeah go check, but I'm not lying." I snort.

"Do you believe in werewolf's." He asks.

My little heart races. I don't know? I really don't. How am I supposed to answer that. No play it cool Azura that's what the voice I inside of me says. Don't let them do that to you Azura. I decide to listen to it for once cause it usually says something stupid. Is he giving me some hint or something. I'm so confused at the moment and this is by far one of my worse days.

"Her heart is racing." One of the pale men says. I look up to see his cold blue eyes looking right into mine.

"Oooh." Mr Stealth rubs his rusty hands.

"I suppose so, why not." I say.

"She's not lying sir." The other man says with deep brown eyes. His moves to adjust his stubby weight to show up paper with lines of what must be my heart rate.

Mr Stealth scoffs as if annoyed. I look over to Elora to see her hands tighten as if she is holding an invisible ball with her hands, but the ball be rarely fits around her palm and fingers.

Oh no. Oh no. She's doing something. I'm sure of it.

Mr Stealth is about to scream at me with his hands locked around the back of his head before his body plops to the ground numb. Is he dead.

"Elora!" I scream.

I notice that her ropes around her have fallen and she stands up.

"Elor..." I begin

"There no time, and not dead. The other men are though. Wow, how can she be so careless. No I push the thought from my head and fall back into reality.

She is untying my bloody ropes which haven't got any better.

"They stop you from magic, I can siphon the magic out." She says exhausted.

"Okay." I say assuringly.

She raps her now wrinkly fingers around the ropes and my wrists and the familier red glow appears around her hands. In about 20 seconds the ropes are removed. Mr Stealth will surely wake soon as she is in a hurry.

"Come on!" Elora then grabs my hand and runs up some stairs. We were in a basement? She sprints through a house and I almost fall over with her speed. As we leave the old house I look at it. I don't recognise it but I try to keep the image of it in my mind for safe keeping.

About 5 minutes later of running I refuse to keep going.

"Stop Elora! Just Stop!" I scream at her and she looks at me confused and then as if she realises what she done.

"Listen Azura, there's something I have to tell you."
