Guess Who's Back

War of the Eyes

       I'm dragged out by my hair. Iron cuffs are placed around my writes restraining me from harming there precious little king. We exit the school that I've been playing my little pretend game, for the past 6 months.

     Before we had left the class, some of my "classmates" kept asking me what was going on. Like they had the right to ask me that! They only knew me as Tessa the random new girl. Tessa was just a name I choose after entering this realm.
In a way I was glad I was leaving, this place reeked of insolent and self obsessed children. This realm had nothing to offer,  but neither did any other. And I was being thrown back into the one I loathed the most.
    

"Well my dear True looks like your going to see some of your old friends very soon". Ryder's words burned through me like Molten lava.

I haven't even seen him for 10 minutes and I already wanted to rip his head off and launch it 500 realms away. My anger grew inside me, I shot daggers at him forcing all the vulger names I could call him down my throat. His lips morphed into a dark smirk. " Aw I thought you would be happy to go back. After all that's where some of our greatest memories lie".
     His words came out with venom, taunting me with the past like it was something fate had given as a gift instead of a curse that hell had brought upon me. "I will never quite understand why you've chosen to tie my life into the hell that is yours." My words display no emotion. His eyes dart across every bit of my face. "You're a challenge to corrupt, unlike the rest of them." He pulls me close our eyes locking. "And you know I love a good challenge." I'm sick to my stomach. My hate for him burns more than hell itself.

      "What do you want from me Ryder." I spoke, needing answers as to why I was being dragged back to a place I had escaped almost five years ago. His eyes turned from his normal blood red to a pitch black. "I want something I wasn't able to get all those years ago. When you escaped, I wasn't able to obtain it, but now." He looked down at me darkness dancing in his eyes. " I will." I was trembling, Ryder was the only one who had ever been able to make me fear for my life and sanity. "I had to escape. you were going to force me into a marriage I didn't want. You acted as if you were my father when in reality you had no control over me or my actions, and you still act that way. So tell me Ryder what is the real reason you want me to go back because I'm sure a marriage between me and the mystery man isn't it."

       I let my words sink into his skin. I wanted him to hate me. I wanted to watch my words hurt him, control him, make him become my puppet instead of me being his. In an instant I was up against the wall being choked. His eyes swirling black and red fighting one another for power. I knew who Ryder really was and what lied behind his eyes. He was fighting something that was more powerful than the Gods above. Yet he still fought it, he knew he couldn't win yet he still fought.  "Oh True, that man is still willing to marry you. He's looking forward to marrying you." Water started pouring out from my eyes. I couldn't help it. This was basically and death sentence, and for what crime? I had to have done something to this man to cause him this much hate and resentment towards me.

     "What have I done to you to make you want to put me through this." I let the pain in my voice out, causing a relief from within me. The Sun seeped trough the clouds dancing across his skin making it shimmer, his hands had left my neck and were now placed on either side of me on the wall to make sure I couldn't try and run. "You got inside my head." and with that he grabbed the cuffs around my wrists and pulled me over to where the guards were waiting. 

    Ice was standing off to the side of the group, her hand moved into her pocket pulling out a small purple pouch.  Throwing it to the ground in-front of her, she raised her hand sending out a blast of her magic. Since she was the rightful ruler of the realm she possessed the power to open and close portals.                                                                                                                                                                   The portal appeared it's purple and blue swirling colors brought back memories from when I first traveled there. I felt my mind go numb as I was shoved into the portal. The only thing I could do now was pray.
