ISA POINT OF VIEW

"What? You're lying..." The room was suddenly getting smaller and harder to breathe. He would have told me...right?

Stop it, they want you to turn against him, but it won't happen.

"Do you want me to tell you what happened or are you just going to stand there looking stupid?" The other guards laughed and commented what Zane said, but I was trying to gather as much air as possible to breathe. "Don't botheer I won't believve anything... you tell me!"

With each passing second the room air was getting thinner. What did Ethan do? Did he lie to me or just danced around the truth? Isn't dancing around the truth the same as lying? Is what their saying true?

Why am I questioning? Ethan would have told me...maybe something happened and he was too embarrassed? About what though?

My head was pounding! The room was getting darker and darker, but I'm positive it was their doing. "Just knock her out we don't have much time. We were supposed to be there five minutes ago." I don't know who said it, but whoever it was, fear was behind the voice the whole way through. Why would they be scared?
........
I woke up when Zane strapped me to a chair with metal wires? Who ties someone with wires? Once Zane was done he moved to the other side of the room. Okay, I need to know what's going on now! There's got to be at least a... 150 people present in this room all staring at me.

"Now, now this is no way to treat our guest." The voice came from behind me, but all I see is the guards bowing down on one knee. The man or whoever this person is, steps in front of me so I can see him better. He's dressed in a black, his eyes are red, but I have a feeling they're always red, and he for some reason has a remote in his hand, which he gives to someone. Huh, interesting...

"Who are you?!" I demanded to know. The whole room drew in a deep breath at the same time as if no has ever talked to this man like that before. He started laughing. "I'm sorry, allow me introduce myself. They call me 'Shadow Criminal' well those I allow to call me by that name call me that." I wouldn't have believed him if it weren't for the fact that he was serious, and every single guard in that room gasped. Shadow Criminal? Well the name seems to fit.

"Actually, we never known your name we just call you 'Majesty.'" Shadow Criminal turns around to the guard that spoke up. Some part of me is scared for this guard. I only met this dude five seconds and I already know you don't talk back to him...

A cloud of smoke surround the guard, and instead of there being a guard there was a frog. "Ribbit." I gasped and so did some of the other guards. How did he do that? "Anyone else want to question me in front of our guest?!" He demanded to know. Smartly enough they all shook their heads.

"Good. I'm sorry you had to see that Isa." How does he know my name? "I know more than you think." He smiled just like Zane, but worse so much worse they're no words for it. I look at Zane his face expressionless.

"Why am I here?" I asked not in a demanding tone, but still asked because I need to know. Why out of all people, me? I'm not special. Shadow Criminal looks at me as if he still can't believe I'm asking the questions. "Oh, Isa, Isa, you're very special which is why you're here." What are you talking about?

"How about this if you answer our questions trufully, I'll answer whatever you want to know, trufully. Seems fair?" Okay, I can make it sound like a truth, but have it be a lie...yeah.
