Immortality (Sequel to Apprentice)

Chapter 23: Let me show you what I can do

Note: Wow, Sky, Deadlox, Husky and BlueMonkey left Team Crafted! O_O I'll still put them in my fanfictions of course ~

Mexxy's POV

"On time I see" I say without looking up. The light tap of her feet touching the marble ground is the only evidence of her arrival. "Obviously" she says, her voice low, tired. Almost bored. 

"Just woken up I see" I muse, raising my head. She looked bored too, eyes lazily drooped forward, calmer than I've ever seen her. "Not quite" she responds, and I pull a face. "How was your night with Ridge?" I ask, trying to make polite conversation. "Good" she says, meeting my eyes. We stare in silence for a moment, before I breath out loudly.

"Time to start your apprenticeship then" I smile, leaning off the rail. She nods, not moving. "What first?" she asks. "Well, I suppose I should give you a place to work in, so I'll show you to a small office room. You can decorate it however you want, of course" I begin, starting to walk down the corridor. She follows behind quietly, no noise coming from her.

"You're quiet" I note. "Nothing to talk about" she replies, almost gruffly. "There's plenty of things to talk about. Such as what will you be doing?" I suggest. "What will I be doing?" she repeats and I roll my eyes. "Wait and see" I reply, and she sighs loudly.

We weave our way through the corridors, the light grey quartz walls shimmering in the dim light of torches on pillars holding the marble ceiling up and the marble floor glitters. We always kept it clean-dirt showed up easily on these floors.

I open the dark oak wood door to her office. The carpet was a deep rich purple, and the walls plain white, except one wall, coloured black. There was a small desk on the side, 8 drawers in total, with a small bed pressed against the wall.

"I don't understand why there is a bed here. I don't have any intention of staying overnight" she frowns, entering. "Just in case" I murmur, smirking. She whirls round, suspicion in my eyes. "I'm not leaving am I?" she hisses. "Nope" I grin. 

"We had a deal" she growls. "I don't deal with fools" I smile, before walking out and slamming the door heavily behind her, ignoring her feeble attempts to open the door. Locking it with red matter energy, I grin and summon two demigods, Featherblade and Cisco. "Make sure she doesn't get out" I tell them, before leaving, grinning like a chesire cat.

Idiot.

I find Elevn outside, working on the glass dome. "Is it done yet?" I ask. "Not yet, your majesty, I need a few more hours" he says, adding some more glass blocks in. "Alright. Thank you Elevn. This is an extra special one so put all your soul into it" I urge, and he smiles, nodding. "By the way, who's going to be playing?" he asks curiously. "Tia" I smile, before flying away.

Oh, I'd show her what I could do alright.

Tia's POV

I knew it. I knew I couldn't trust him. I knew he had something up his sleeve. 

"Let me out!" I yell angrily, hammering on the door. "No can do" Cisco chuckles. I should of known he wouldn't be far off. "I mean it, let me out!" I yell, pounding my fist harder and harder against the door. "Tia, just stay tight for a while, Mexxy will let you out" Featherblade's smooth voice rumbles from outside the door. I whirl round, slamming myself against one of the walls. It begins to crack. The door opens behind me, but I keep on throwing myself at the wall. 

Two pairs of arms pull me away and I snarl and kick out. A hand goes over my mouth which I yell and scream into. My arms were bound and I was dragged to the bed where they slammed red matter cuffs onto my wrists, attaching them to the bed posts. "Let me go!" I yell again, jerking my wrists furiously. "Tia, really, stay quiet" Featherblade begs, looking sorry for me. Cisco just looks bored and somewhat amused at me wriggling around.
