Captured Love

Chapter 14

Considering the room had no windows or a clock it was hard to tell how much time has passed or when it was day or night. I don't think it really mattered considering reality seemed to work different in this "realm".  I still wasn't sure exactly where I was or how to get back home. Betty tried to help with providing me as much information as she could, but it was basically useless unless I knew exactly what questions to ask for the specific answer I wanted. I read the book Amias provided me with though really it was more a list of tasks needed to be completed vs actually giving me answers on how things worked around here. 

A door was formed either meaning Amias was coming in or Zemi. I wasn't looking forward to having company so soon but would prefer Zemi over his master right now. Of course, the master shows up when least wanted. I wasn't sure if I could even look him in the eye right now. 

"Since it seems you've rested enough I think it's time for you to begin your duties in the garden."  

He strode in with a brooding aura seemingly deep in thought. I didn't want to stare at his face but couldn't help wondering if he perhaps thought about me too. I wanted to see if there was any trace of the man who acted like he truly loved me or if it really was all a visaed to capture me in place. I couldn't stand the idea of being so stupid and helpless. There was no one to blame except myself. I ignored his statement and went back to minding the book currently in my hands. 

"Hey!" I yelled as he grabbed the book from me tossing into the air for it to disappear. 

"Let's head out, shall we?" Picking me up I am whisked away through doorway and down the hall. 

I stay silent not wanting to engage in another argument after the last fight we just had. I didn't like that it had escalated so quickly and that I couldn't control whatever power I had. 

'Another piece of info I'm going to need if I want to escape. I need to figure out a way to master this newly developed power he gave me so I can use it against him.'

Once we enter the atrium, I could feel vibrations in the air that weren't there before. Wanting to ask Betty about it via telepathy I couldn't seem to reach her. 

"Your little servant isn't allowed to converse with you while in my presence didn't, she tell you?" Scared I looked at him wide-eyed. 

'Is he doing what I think he's doing?' 

Terrified, I ask him

"Have you been reading my mind this whole time?" 

"No don't misunderstand. I have not been invading your mind this whole time. I can however sense when magic is being used in my presence since I am the one who helps control this world." Thankfully he isn't looking my way when he responds. I let out a breath I was holding again forgetting I didn't need to breath anyways. Old habits die hard, just like my body did when he ripped out my heart I suppose.
