Perfection In The Imperfect

Chapter 20-complete

~Kendra

Darkness is all I see.

Cold. It's very cold in here.

There is a metallic taste in my mouth. Blood.

I tried screaming a few minutes back, but it didn't help, because there is something in my mouth that is stopping me.

I'm tied to a chair, and it's not a very comfortable chair either.

I hear a key in a lock, and then the screeching of an old rusted door. Metal on metal.
I must be in a jail of some sort.

"Morning princess, did you sleep well?" That voice again

I am NOT going to talk to him. End of story. Done. Not talking.

He took the cloth out of my mouth and put a pill in.

"Queen Adrianna will be here soon. So-"

"She is no queen."

"She is going to be."

"And who are you to say that?"

"I am Alex. Queen Adrianna's future husband. She is my fiancèe."

"Do you know what your name means? It means 'protector', and you are no protector!"

Well there goes my plan on not talking.

"That's right. I did my research on german."

"Shut up, she is here."

I hear the klick-klacking of heels coming inside the room.

"Long time no see Kenny. I thought you would call me about the big news that you can walk again."

I spit on the floor.

"Oh no. Let me take that blindfold off of you so you can see where you are."

She yanks the blindfold off, and the first thing I see is Axl. He is hanging on rope, and is not moving. There is blood everywhere around him. He looks uncontious.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM!" I screamed.

Alex walked up to him, and took a knife out of his pocket, and cut his arm. Axl screamed in pain, and the blood started running from the cut off his arm.

"NO STOP!"

I screamed for him to stop, and everything became dimmer and dimmer.

What's happening to me?

After a minute, I couldn't move.
I was paralyzed.

I heard Alex whisper to Adrianne.
"I gave her a pill for if her heartbeat quickens, she will feel nothing. It's just temporary."

"Good."

The pill.
