Zenix and his Past [ABANDONED]

Chapter 23 - Zella

    "You'd better let me out of here, Knox!" I yell at him. He has put me in a cage in his Nether Base and he has been taunting me for what feels like hours.
    "Oh, I'm sorry! I can't hear you! You are behind bars! Ha!" he taunts. I want to punch his nose.
    "I know you didn't kidnap me for my abilities with potions. So why did you do it?!" I demand. Knox glares at me.
    "Fine. I will tell you. Your good friend, Zenix, is in my way and has forever taken the only love in my life!" he eyes me, "So, he is weak and vulnerable right now, especially after almost killing you- the one he protects. He is perfect to turn into a Shadow Knight of course!"
    "You wouldn't!"
    "I would! He will be withered when he tries to set you free by pulling this lever. The lever activates a signal for this base to drown in lava, which I don't mind rebuilding. He will tell you and Garroth to go without him, and you will. He will later not remember a single thing and think you abandoned him. I will instruct him to kill the lord of Phoenix Drop, and later, kill that guard, Garroth..."
    "I will take care of Garroth," Evangeline interrupts. I forgot she was here.
    "Okay, fine. You can take care of Garroth," Knox begins explaining again, "He will be under the Shadow Knight power then, and you can always join us..."
    "Over my dead body!" I scream at him, "And what makes you so sure Garroth and Zenix will come after me? I told Garroth..."
    "Oh, come on, Zella! Do you really think Zenix will listen to Garroth and not come to the Nether?" I look at my hands. Oh, please, please, please, Zenix! I think to myself, Don't be your normal stubborn self!
