You lay on the dusty dirt road. Brief pain shocking your cheek where you were slapped. Clearly your little stunt has scared Diamond into thinking that you’re under a trance, which you are not. Very clever way of avoiding her question, I’ll give you that. But I think it’s time to face the world and stop playing around.
“For in the end the end will have four.” I continue in my trance like monotony.
“It didn’t work.” Diamond gasps. She slaps you again, even harder. Hopefully to slap some sense into you.
“And the pain you feel can’t fell the Three Tortures.”
“Ah! Paige, help!”
“With pleasure.” Angel says. She comes over and pulls you up off the ground. Then she punches you in the gut and knees your head when you bend over in recoil.
“The Three Tortures will rise and none can end the pain.” I cough through the pain. Then I pretend to black out to the ground.
“Well now what?” Caleb asks.
“Let’s just leave him.” says Angel. “I told you he was trouble. Although, he did have a nice dagger. It’s a shame really, that he got his hands on.”
“We can’t just leave him.” Diamond protests.
“Yes we can. Watch this.” Angel says as you hear her start to walk away.
I gasp awake.
“He’s awake!” Diamond shouts joyfully. She bends over you and holds your face in her hands. She looks you over for anything that could be wrong, but she mainly looks deep into your eyes. “Are you okay? What happened?”
“What’s going on?” I touch my forehead.
“You were under a trance, saying all kinds of crazy things. But now you’re okay, it’s over.” She hugs you tightly. She sighs with glee, and then stops, remembering something. “We’re dating right?”
“My head…”
“Are you alright?” She places her hand on your forehead as well. “It feels fine.”
“I have no idea what’s happening.”
“Should we get a doctor?”
“No, I’m not a fan of medical practitioners.”
“Then what should we do?”
“We need to do something…”
“You could tell me if we’re dating or not.”
“Who are you?”
“I’m Diamond, don’t you remember me?”
“Who?”
Seriously, you’re going to play that game. This is such a waste of time.
“You don’t remember me? Don’t worry, I shall tell you everything.” She gets suddenly very excited. “We’ve been dating for a while, and you love me deeply. That’s all you need to know.”
“Okay… but who are you?”
“I’m Diamond Erin Bleau.”
“Oh. Who’s she?” I point at Angel.
“My sister, her name is Paige.”
“Is she dating anyone?”
“Uh, no. She kills people.”
