My Life is a Perfect Lie

Episode 17

I couldn't open my eyes, the blind fold won't let me. I could feel, my hands and feet were chain to an iron pole. I sit their helplessly. I try to pull the chain to free myself but it doesn't work. One of my hands is handcuffed and the chain goes around the pole to handcuff my other hand. In similar fashion my feet are also chained. I hug my knees. I am scared like hell.
I pull the blindfolded fabric. it's too stiff. I try harder, my eyes hurt. I try to untie the knot. it's too tight.  I am exhausted, I have no energy to try more. My tummy growls.
I hear the door being unlocked.
I hear foot steps approaching me. Foot steps stop, I smell body deo mixed with sweat. The guy sits in front of me almost touching my feet.
"Who are you?" what do you want? ", I cry.

"Relax, baby", he starts. "We mean no harm to you. We can't in fact. Because we are being told to take care of you"

"What do you mean?"

"Mr. Carter is a rich man. He can buy anything with his money. So he bought us to abduct you and keep you safe"

"Mr.Carter? Why?"

"Oh you are so impatient"

"I.... leave me please. I have no relation with him", I pull the chains.

"No, we can't leave you"

"Are you gonna kill me? like you killed Kabir? ", I burst into tears.

"Oh so his name was Kabir. Mr. Carter didn't like him. don't you know?"

"What the heck!", I shout aloud.

"Calm down lady", he grabs my chin.

"Just leave me, okay. Just leave me", I shake my head.

I hear foot steps of one more man.

"Here is your food", he says.

The former man takes off my blind fold. I squeeze my eyes as the sunlight from the window tries to penetrate my eyes. I blink several times and open my eyes slowly. I see two men. One sits in front of me. He wears denim jacket over white T-shirt wrapped round his tough chest, black trousers and white shoes. He has buzz haircut, he is so white I could see the green veins around his lower jaw, he has baby blue eyes. I take a look at the other man. He looks exactly like the one who sits in front of me, except he has black eyes. He wears brown leather jacket, black trousers and white shoes.
He hold a tray of food infront of me.
I look at him and then my chained hands.
I look at the handcuffs again but this time I think of them melting like ice. Steel starts to melts slowly and  speeds up gradually. The steel feels nothing.
He throws away the tray.
The other guy pulls my hair. He tightens his grip and pulls harder. I see chains around my ankles melt away. The molten steel feels like cold water. It doesn't hurt me. It flows away like water.
He leaves my hair locks with a jerk.
I get up and grab the pole and uproot it. I throw it towards the blue eyed man. He falls down with the pole and gets his back hurt. The other man tries to run. I direct my index finger at him, a  thunder bolt shoots out of it. The thunder bolt wraps around his neck. He starts to shake vigorously due to high voltage current. He falls down and as I run towards the door the thunder bolt disappears. I open the door only to witness Mr. Carter and Teena.

"Are you okay? ", Mr. Carter enquires.

"Unfortunately, yes", I reply.

"Listen,  Candace "

I try to walk past them. He grabs my wrist. I grab his hand that's holding mine. I transfer as much heat as I can to his hand. His skin starts to burn, and smoke starts to appear from beneath my hand.
He snatches his hand away. His wrist looks like a grilled mutton slice.

"That hurt. But looks like you got your memory of power back", he says blowing on the wounds.

"Oh that hurts? but it's nothing for taking Kabir's life. You have got much more pain coming your way", I slam.

"What? What happened to Kabir?", Teena asks.

"Don't act innocent, Teena. You don't care for him. You betrayed him"

"Candace, stop these riddles"

"Okay. So, you don't know. Your lover didn't tell you? well let me tell you then. He got Kabir killed because he was into you, he got me abducted because I found out about you two and he knew he can't buy us with his bloody money", I stamp the floor. It turns into ice.

Teena looks at Mr. Carter and says, " I think, we should tell her now. We have come too far and things are getting messy. We can't put anymore lives at stake"

Mr. Carter nods.

"Miss Candace hold my hand",  he extends his arm towards me.

"Come on, Carter. We have got no time to waste", Teena tells him.

"I am sorry Candace but... " , he says  and he snaps his fingers before of my eyes.

Suddenly it's all black.
