Chapter 29: Old Friend

Once consciousness begins to return to me, I feel ties on my arms and legs.

Opening my eyes I look around, taking in my surroundings. It looks as though I am in some kind of back office room to a fancy building of some kind.

Looking around more, my eyes stop once I see something that gives me an idea of where I am, a cross on the wall.

Oh this is just perfect...

My eyes then stop on a large, red, familiar symbol written on the wall. From what I can remember, the people here call it the 'Halo of the Sun'.

Feeling aching pain from my wrists and ankles, I look down to realize I am tied down onto a chair by thin, strong rope.

I begin struggling, trying to see if it is possible to wiggle my hands underneath the rope and see if I can get myself out of here.

Pulling hard against the rope to the point it becomes painful, I whine out in pain and stop before I really hurt myself.

Noticing a wrap on my leg where I had been shot, I come to realize that someone had taken the time to get the bullet out of me and bandage me up.

Recalling the previous events, the tears flood back into my eyes, quietly beginning to weep. Despite being aware his body may be able to heal itself up and bring him back to life, there is no way for me to know for sure.

Knowing he was able to come back to life when his neck was broke by Kat, this is the first time to my knowledge that his heart had been damaged.

The sound of the wooden door across from me opening grabs my attention, my eyes immediately lock onto the person coming in.

A woman with short, dark brown hair enters the room. She is wearing the same feminine, protective suit that the one who controlled the whole previous event wore. But this time, she isn't wearing a protective mask.

Her face looks familiar to me, but I am unable to recall where I had seen it before.

The woman shuts the door behind her before approaching me, grabbing a chair from the side to set it down across from me, sitting herself down on it.

From what I can tell, we are still in the otherworld, confusing me as to how these people are still inside the realm. Surely way too much time has to have passed since they were in the sanitarium with me, got me to wherever I am now and waited for me to wake up.

"Hello Hecate, it has been a long time hasn't it?" The woman began.

The hatred Built up inside of me reflects itself through a sharp glare, "How do you know my name. A long time since when?"

"Since we got here, since we last saw each other. I didn't recognize you in the darkness of the basement, but in the light, I am amazed to find out you are still alive."

My glare faded into a look of confusion, "I have no idea what you are talking about."

She laughs, leaning back in her chair, "I've aged a few years since then. You don't look like you have aged at all."

My eyes widen, beginning to realize how I recognize her, "...Elizabeth?"

The woman smiles, "Yep."
