Broken Glass (Joshua x reader)

Chapter 6

I groggily opened my eyes, and let out a groan as I rubbed the back of my neck. What happened...? I scanned the room with my (e/c) eyes and noticed I was in some kind of bedroom. It was kind of bare, with only a queen sized bed, a desk with a chair that looked as if it had been bolted to the floor, and two nightstands on either side of the bed. There was also a dresser with a simple lamp on it. All of it was white, minus the bed frame, and the lamp. The drawers on the nightstands and the dresser were rimmed in midnight black. I was lying on top of the white covers on the bed.

I swung my lugs over the side of the bed and heard a 'Clunk!' which made me snap my head to my feet, which had a chain wrapped around them. It was as if I had handcuffs around my ankles, and connected to that was a chain that stretched to the bedpost where it was firmly wrapped around it and locked, as if melted into it. I held my hand to the chain, and yelped as a sharp pain shot through my hand, as if someone was driving a needle, or even a knife underneath my skin. It burned and I held my hand to my chest as I looked at it. Turning my head, I could see the glare of some kind of force field over it, preventing me from taking it off through magic, which was like a psych (the ability a pin had to fight). A red mark was forming on my hand and I turned my head to see the same chain wrapped around my wings, binding them together tightly, which hurt to say the least. They struggled to be free.

I stood up and carefully moved around the room, searching for anything. The only window was near the ceiling and out of my reach (though it was open), and the chain barely went to the wall. As I neared the door, it swung open and instincts kicked in, causing me to jump back, only to trip on my own two feet, sending me stumbling to the ground. I grasped to grab anything, but before I could, someone snaked their arm around my waist and the other around my neck, to catch me. I looked up into familiar crystal blue eyes. I glared as he pulled my to my feet suddenly, causing me to stumble forward onto his chest. I immediately took a small step back away from him as I continued to glare daggers into his eyes.

"Nikolai...," I said, venom dripping off of my voice. "Where am I? You should know that the laws here state that you can't kidnap people."

"Oh sweetheart~ You wound me ever so deeply~ You know, I'm not too sure that anyone will come and actually try to save you. After all, they know that I've appointed you as my new assistant, so don't expect anyone. The only person here is me. It's not like the Composer will come here. Because, it'd take a lot for that to happen. Paperwork would have to be done and... Well, overall it'd just be too complicated for Him to even come here. He doesn't even know where you are. Besides, those chains can only be broken by me. You've already witnessed what happens if you try to take them off," Nikolai said. I remembered my hand which was now only a slight pink hue. I took steps back and sat on the bed, staring at my hands in my lap.

"Just go away," I said, thinking about everyone back in the RG/UG. Will Joshua or Mr. Hanekoma even realize that I've been kidnapped by him?

"You'll soon learn to forget about Him and all the others. Whether it be by force, or not." Nikolai left after that and locked the door behind him. I closed my eyes, and thought about Solaris who was still in the Higher Plane. I wouldn't be able to communicate with anyone in the RG. I felt my clothes and realized that my phone was missing, anyway. My thoughts were fuzzy, as if a TV was left on static, making it hard to concentrate. I did, however, still have one of my previous abilities from being an Onlooker, which was telepathy. Or, telepathic communication. However, I had minor doubts about it working, with all of these thoughts swarming through my head, and the barriers that were put up around the room. I shook my head, pushing away the doubts. I had to believe wholeheartedly that it would work.

Just think of it like imprinting on someone's mind...

I thought about Solaris and tried pushing my thoughts out to her as far as I could get them, reaching some sort of block.
