I could feel him. The pulling through my body told me he was near. I was longing after him again but the danger I felt was over powering me. Should I listen to my heart or my brain?
"I am so glad to see you are awake." He drawled through the darkness. I knew it was him but the posh accent left me so confused. Was my head playing with me?
"Where am I? What happened? Why can't I see you?" I knew I sounded like a scared little girl but that didn't matter, I was desperate to get some answers. There was a slight chuckle through the darkness that went through me. The shivers went from the tip of my ears to the tip of my toes.
"I am so sorry I had to do this but you really left me no choice. I knew from the minute I met you that something had to be done about our little situation." I heard him come closer but I didn't know what he was on about. What situation, did he know something?
"What are you talking about, what situation? Would you just let me see you already?" How was it so dark? My eyes could see through anything but not right now. I knew that he was close to me because I heard him breathing and a small rumble that came from deep in his throat when he laughed at me.
"Don't you remember how we met? I thought I made quite an impression. Well, when I met you I had a feeling that you were very important and then you passed out, so I had to bring you with me to find out more." He was so cryptic I couldn't understand a thing he was saying and now the pounding was coming back into the base of my head.
"I hate you so much!!!! Can't you just give me a simple straight answer? I just want you to explain what is happening. Please... Just explain." And with that I broke down into hysterics. I could tell from the tesion that he didn't know what to do but I no longer cared, all the feelings I had been locking away were pouring out. I couldn't control how I was feeling. I didn't know how long I cried for but I know it was a long time due to the changing temperature around me.
"Catrina please, you don't know how hard it is for me to see you like this. Please calm down?" He was being so nice, where hard that hard headed arrogant guy gone?
Only now, when I paid attention to him, did I realise that we were moving. I knew I wasn't walking, he was carrying me. What????? Where was he taking me?
"What's going on?" I mumbled at him because my face was pressed into his shirt. I felt the sunlight on my arms and legs, it felt like heaven. He didn't reply, he just carried going wherever he was heading. I could feel the angry rising through me due to his silence. Finally he spoke to me but it was such a whisper I hardly heard him. Thank goodness I have good hearing.
"I am taking you back to where I found you. What I did was wrong, I just wanted to know you better. You asked me to explain and so I am going to. But no interuptions and you have to listen. I took you up to a cave, it was somewhere I always went when I wanted to be alone. I knew you would be able to escape and so I tied you up. I just wanted a chance for you to listen and also answer some question I have. I'm sorry." He sounded so hurt and his voice was full of regret. Guilt washed over me in a tidal wave, but what did I have to feel guilty about? I did nothing wrong.
"You wanted me to explain, well that was my explanation. I can't give you anymore than that." He was guarding himself, as though he was expecting me to hurt him. Lash out for what he had done, but I just felt sorry for him. What he did was wrong but I felt his emothions and I could feel the regret that came off him. I had a connection with him and didn't want that to end.
"I will answer your questions on one condition............... You have to answer mine as well." I wanted confidence to go through my voice but it came out as a timid whisper.
What did he have over me?
