Captured (a short story)

30

I have decided to finish this book up and keep it as a short story. This is the last chapter.  Because of everything that is going on with the actor Tenoch, and the accusations I'm not to sure if I'm interested in writing him in my story anymore! I don't know what is actually true on the internet, and if anything that girl is saying is true!  I literally started writing again because of him!  I've actually never completely finished a whole book in years, so another reason I'm finishing off this chapter is to finish! I hope you enjoy its pretty long, much love <3 

As I emerge from the river waters of Wakanda, the warrior known as Okoye stands with her spear waiting for me.  As I walk closer to her, I look back to see Attuma and some of the Talokons  peak there heads out the water. I raise my hand and nod my head gesturing them to stay back in the water.  They slowly disappear back into the water and I come to a halt at least six feet away from Okoye. 

I can see on her face, she holds sadness in her eyes.  Her grip is tight on her spear, and her gaze is piercing as she stares at me. My only question I have for her leaves my lips in a whisper.

"Where is she?" 

Okoye blinks her eyes and a few tears run down her face. She stutters abit before speaking broken words.  "She is-she is gone." She says vulnerable and looks down. 

I feel a rush of shock and heat explode in my chest, making me suddenly start to feel heavy. "What?" I ask even though I heard her. "She's not gone." I say shaking my head not believing her. 

"Namor, I'm so sorry.  There's nothing we can do. The- herb took her away from us."  She painfully says and starts to cry uncontrollably. " My sister -is- is gone." 

Everything inside my shatters, and I almost fall to my knees. Tears brim in my eyes and I turn to conceal my face. I've never felt so vulnerable like this. 

My Asha. Is gone? I refuse to believe this. I thought this would help her find answers. Shuri promised me she would take care of her, keep her safe.  I began to feel angry fuel me and I turn to Okoye quickly. 

"Take me to Shuri now." I say sternly and Okoye glances at me.  "I dont know if she is wanting to see anybody now, Namor. You are still not allowed in Wakanda, you know that."

I start to feel different emotions stir in me, angry, sadness and shock. I start to breath heavy and Okoye slowly walks up closer to me. "You must stop being angry with yourself." Okoye softly says and I look up to her. 

"I don't know, the connection you and Asha had, and I may never understand it. But when my sister came back, she came back with a fuller heart.  The effect she had on you. I can clearly see, you have love for her, but your heart is still thawing, Namor. So, I say release this angry you have within you, because it is never the right path."

Okoye says those words and I seal my eyes shut. Asha appears in my vision and I relive the moments I had with her in my head. Its silent and all I can hear is the sound of the wind around me. 

I open my eyes and Okoye looks to me. "Please, I wish to see her face one last time." I practically cry and Okoye sighs and nods. "Come."

As I follow behind Okoye we make it close to Shuris lab. We come to a halt outside doors and Okoye turns to me. "Wait here." She says and  slips inside the doors of the building.

I look around seeing were in a closed off location that connections the river trail to shuris lab. I look out toward the night sky and start to feel a strange connection to them. 

One I've never felt before when I have looked out at them. My heart sinks as I think of Asha. I don't believe she is gone. Something didn't feel right that she was suddenly taken from us.
