Shadows of the heart (MxMxMxMxM)

Chapter 87:

:T here's the chapter

--------------------------------------------------------

A small content sigh left me as I stretched out in the soft bed I was laying in.

What a weird dream. . .I don't think I have work today, Should be able to sleep in with Ian. . .That'd be nice, I can make us some breakfast and we can spend the day cuddling. . .

I kept my eyes closed, My body relaxed and my mind calm.

Which was soon broken.

''Aw, That's sweet'' A velvety voice cooed out quietly right next to me, Waking me with a jolt as I felt a warm hand rest on my thigh all of a sudden.

That's not Ian's voice! Or hand! Who the-

Jerking back away from the touch, I glared in shock as I recognized exactly who was laying next to me.

Mother fucker! It wasn't a dream!

Ace.

''Now the profanity wasn't needed, But you're correct, None of this was a dream, Apologies for the chloroform'' The man chuckled out, As if he was apologizing for something simple and unimportant and not for drugging and kidnapping me.

Again.

I. . .

I was at a loss as to how to react to this.

To any of this!

I was currently laying in a surprisingly soft king sized bed, In a room painted in shades of dark red and black.

I should. Be at home with my boyfriend. . .boyfriends.

My face has been plastered all over the news today as a hero instead of as a villain.

Which is completely unwelcome.

And to top his day all off. I've been kidnapped.

A. gain.

''Well, I wouldn't have to kidnap you if you'd have come to see me willingly'' Ace muttered, A bit of a sullen tone to his voice, Like a petulant child.

''Now that was just uncalled for.'' He murmured quietly as I became aware of the horrifying silence in my mind, My heart dropping like a stone thrown in the water.

Where are my dragons? Did he- No. . .No! This can't be real!

Panic choked at my throat as I imagined all the things he could have done to my dragons while we were all knocked out.

''Shhh, Relax dove, They're okay, I have them outside in a nice shielded run, They love it there I'm sure!'' Ace chuckled out, Finding so much amusement in my distress at the thought that he could have taken my dragons from me forever this time.

Before all the words we had exchanged caught my attention, Like a wall of red flags.

How did he know what I was worried about?

Realization hit me as I finally started to sit up, A realization that should have hit me much sooner.

You're a fucking mind reader aren't you.

I glared silently at him as he pursed with lips with faux innocence before slowly nodding.

''Yes, That would be one way to put it-'' He started to murmured as I finally got out of the bed.

Something I should have done much sooner, But still.

''Of fucking course, Because kidnapping people and experimenting on them isn't violating enough. You also have been reading everyone's thoughts the entire time.'' I growled out, Feeling oddly violated.

Because being experimented on wasn't violating enough. . .

Wait. If you could read my thoughts the entire time. Why the hell have you not taken the hint yet that I want nothing to do with you?

He let out a put upon sigh before shaking the until now unnoticed person sleeping next to him awake.

Gust. . .

The poor boy barely had a second in control of his body before his posture changed completely, Like a puppet who's strings had been pulled.

Going very still, I watched as Ace slowly got out of the bed, His poor captive puppet jerkily following suit, His movements still ragged as Ace finished waking up.

''Come now, Surely there must be something that will change your mind'' Ace cooed out, Approaching me as he spoke.

Knowing now that he could read my mind, I was careful to keep my thoughts as blank as possible and my guards up.

Gust wasn't the nicest, I'd be the first to agree with that.

But no one. Deserves to be a slave.

Least of all in their own body. . .Their own mind.

Scowling, I glared at him as he stopped in front of me, A condescending feeling smile on this face.

''I can be quite persuasiv-'' He started to quietly murmur as he leaned down closer to my face, A hand reaching up for me.

He never got to finish what he was saying as he was unfortunately now on the floor, Holding his face in shock. . .Exactly where I just bitch slapped him, Shock in his eyes.

Enough shock, To disrupt his control over Gust.

The hero stumbled slightly as he regained control of his body, His eyes widening in shock as he tried to remain standing.

Moving to his side, I grabbed onto his arm to allow him to lean on me, Reaching out to the shadows filling this room.

I could tell that Ace intended to make this room 'cozy' for me.

Foolishly giving me so many shadows.

I couldn't hurt him with my powers. . .But I could very tightly bind him.

Wrapping as many shadows around him as possible, I covered Ace head to toe as Gust leaned heavily on me, Slowly regaining comfort with using his limbs again.

''You-'' Gust started to rasp out at me before I cut him off.

''Can you walk or do you need me to carry you? Once we get out of here, I'm sure Daxon will bring you to that one doctor. . .Hover something'' I questioned, Helping him stand up straighter as I finally felt my dragons regain their senses deeper inside the house.

He looked shocked before his eyes got a bit shiny with unshed tears before he cleared his throat, Wobbly standing up on his own.

''I'm fine. I just- I just want to get out of here'' Gust sighed out as Ace tried to struggle against the tight binding on him, Summoning a few smoke clones.

''Right, Stick close'' I quietly ordered as my attention turned towards the threat.

Before I could attack with my shadows, A sharp shard, Strong gust of wind roared through the room, Destroying the smoky clones, Surprising me.

Glancing back at Gust, I watched as a wobbly smile formed on his face.

''I have my powers back'' He whispered so quietly.

'Corbin, Where are you?' Eige called out through the bond.

On my way
