Lost Memories

Chapter 19 You responded

Morro POV

Her tentacles wrapped around me, keeping me locked in place. Every part of this feels wrong.

The way the air moves around her as if she's the one controlling it beyond her breathing. The freezing feeling from her tentacles is seeping into my bones as they're making my clothes wet, it's gross.

She sees it. The others are a bit distracted, and they know I have a high pain tolerance, so they don't see it, but she knows I'm not in pain.

"You're not dead." She doesn't even question it.

"What?!" Bansha screeched, hurting my ears. Is this how loud she normally is?

"What makes you say that?" Lloyd's influence to backtalk enemies is getting to me.

"How did you leave, young one?" Her bitter-sweet voice seemed to attack my soul, trying to pry out the answer.

"Would you let me leave if I told you?" Soul Archer's bow is aimed at my head. Rude.

"No"

"Then why should I-" She cuts me off with a tentacle over my mouth and squeezing my lungs.

"Insolent Child. You will rot in here and you Will pay for your attitude when you die under my control." I move my head away from Her hold, uncovering my mouth.

"Bol-" Ewwww. "Bold of you to assume I'll stay that long." Dang it! Screw Lloyd and his influence of back talking enemies.

"What. Do you really think you'll get out of here? Maybe with the help of the ninja, you might. But after what you did to the green one, do you really expect them to give you such a mercy?" I move my head away and bite my tongue to keep from responding. They mistook the reaction. Good.

"Bansha, Soul Archer, watch our dear Morro." How'd she manage making my name sound like a curse?

"You always were pathetic, and now you have no power or title. I'm going to have fun pushing you around." Bansha's getting way too close.

I'm being moved. If I remember correctly, we're moving towards the isolated rooms She uses to drive people insane. Great.

"Do you even have your element anymore?" That sounded so condescending. Soul Archer still has an arrow aimed at my head.

"Why do you care?"

"Just wondering if She'd still care about hauling you along with Her anymore. Though with that response, She won't."

The tentacles throw me into a cramped room, bone like things closing around the exit. They might actually be bone, but I couldn't tell when I was dead and I really don't want to find out.

The two stay outside of the cell, murmuring to themselves. Things around the room start to shift to black as I start hearing voices.

"You got kidnapped again?" I know that voice..

"Oh, come ON Momo.-" "Don't call me that." "Did we teach you nothing? I thought you were better than this. You could get out of Chen's traps in seconds but The Preeminent is too hard for you now?"

So this is how the room works? Using my own doubts and memories? Nix wouldn't say this.. right?

"And to think you're our brother." No.. "You really are pathetic."

"You're not my son. My son's are better than this." Hypocrite.

"My son would have succeeded in becoming The Green Ninja. Not fail and force his cousin to take the mantle."
