Strangled Angel

Chapter Five

I close my eyes as I hear Adrien whispering to me to hurry up and teleport. I concentrate hard on a place fixed in my mind.

The good news, I have a beautiful place in mind that I know no one knows about. Bad news... I don't know where exactly it is.

"Wow!" I heard Adrien say. My eyes were still closed. And honestly I was too scared to open them.

"I survived!" Adrien screamed, making it echo.

I peek a little before opening my eyes completely.

"What do you mean survived? You were never going to die." I asked.

"Trixie that was my first time teleporting." Adrien said, holding my shoulders with his hands, a surprised look on his face.

"Well it was my first time too." I whispered, but I guess Adrien heard.

"I thought you did this before?" He asked.

"Not in my memory, no." I replied. Adrien nods.

"So, are we the only ones here?" He asked.

"Yup. No one really knows this place."

"How do you?" He asked, making that serious but curious face.

"I used to come here when..." I tried continuing but I didn't remember what I did or what I was going to say. It's weird because I know I knew the answer but I suddenly, forgot.

"When?..." Adrien asked.

"I don't really remember." I replied.

"How don't you? Do you know the way out?" He asked, a little worried.

"I don't want to scare you but..."

"I don't think I will be after coming here, being locked up and then teleporting. So go ahead." He replied.

"I don't know how to get out of here, and neither do I remember this place." I blurted out after a while.

"Great." He replied.

A moment of silence overlapped us. I was afraid we would be found. I was afraid that Adrien would be locked up or sent back.

But then I remembered...

"Earlier in the dungeons... You said something." I stated.

"What did I say?" Adrien asked, even though I'm pretty sure he already knows.

"About telling the king about my whereabouts." I replied.

"I'm sorry." Adrien said almost immediately. "I didn't want to tell them, but I don't know how but they just got it out of me."

"The Confession." I said to myself out loud. "Did you perhaps drink or eat anything there?"

"No." Adrien replied. "Wait, the prince gave me something before we went inside to meet the king."
