Deviant Fate

22 - Attack

-Gwen-

Waking up I felt weak. My head pounded and my body felt so heavy I could barely open my eyes. I mustered up the strength to sit up. With my hand on my forehead I tried to rub out the headache. Opening one eye I scanned my surroundings. I felt my heart drop as I realized I was in a foreign room. The previous encounter with Arowin flooded my mind. Overwhelmed, I began sucking air as fast as I could. I felt like I couldn't breathe. My vision began spotting as I tried to stand. Stumbling into a nightstand I gripped the corners to steady myself.

Where am I? What happened to Rin? I needed to get back to her, what if something happened to her? How am I supposed to fulfill my destiny if I'm stuck here? Wherever here is.

I held my breath for four counts then breathed it out slowly. After the fifth time I felt my heart regulate to a more stable beat. I still felt weak. It took so much effort just to stand up. Turning around I searched the large room. How obnoxious. A dresser decorated with a bouquet of violet flowers.

I couldn't help the fire that burned in me. Violet. Like my eyes. How quaint. Knowing who put them there made me want to destroy them. I pinched a petal between my fingers, but the violet remained. Gripping the entire bouquet I focused harder, but still... nothing. I smacked my hands down on the dresser in rage. Turning towards the door I tried to open it. I began pounding with my fist, willing myself to break it. My rage only grew as I felt my energy deplete. Everytime I tried to focus, I felt weaker and weaker.

If I can't use my abilities I'll kick it in. I heard cracks with every kick, but with every kick came more exhaustion. I stammered, but I pushed myself even harder not wanting to back down. One final kick and the frame gave way. Pieces of the frame splintered on the floor as the door swung open.

As I tried to cross the threshold my body bounced off of nothing. Stumbling back, I looked at the doorway in confusion and frustration. There was nothing there. I grabbed the lamp by the bed and pushed it through the doorway. To my relief and aggravation it went through, but I still couldn't.

I threw the lamp with as much force as I could into the hallway. Then another lamp. Then I grabbed a small fancy clock that sat on the dresser. I chucked it in the hallway hoping to dent the wall. Although I was throwing small things it still took a lot of energy. I felt myself draining. I shook my head and arms to wake up and rid myself of the tiredness. I needed to keep focused.

I needed something heavier. Something to make a lot of noise. The nightstand it is. It was slightly heavy, but I lifted it nonetheless. I prepared to throw it until I heard fast approaching footsteps. Smirking, I waited until they got closer and then I threw it. I looked to see if I hit someone, but to my disappointment I missed by a few inches.

"Fuck! So close!" I panted out.

Arowin's sister stood with her hand on her chest as she looked at me with widened eyes.

"What are you doing?" She asked exasperated.

"Can't you tell? I'm rearranging." I answered sarcastically. "Why don't you come in and have a chat?" I taunted her sweetly.

Her eyes shifted from the mess I made then back to me. I stood with crossed arms. I don't care who she is, if I can get my hands on her Arowin will be forced to let me go. I'm not a malicious person, but I won't fail Rin.

"Well can you talk?" I questioned her, annoyed.

"Gweneria, I'm sorry. I have to get Arowin." She spoke in a worried tone.

"You don't have to. You're choosing to. Which makes you just as bad as he is." I spit with venom.

Rolling my eyes I turned and walked back to the bed. I had the urge to sleep. I couldn't though. I needed to stay on guard. Sucking in a deep breath I looked for anything I could use to my advantage. I threw the bouquet onto the floor, leaving just the heavy vase. I hid behind the door, vase in hand. I will fight until I physically can't.
