You Can't Take Me Anywhere

Eda's POV
Ha! I totally have a plan, what do you think I am? An act-first-and-plan person?

...Eh? Do you?

Well... you are probably right because with no plan in my head, I went out of the cell, going towards Giant one and two and my goal was to break Phantom out, nothing else. I didn't even make a plan B about what I should do if I was spotted.

My mind was snapped back to reality when Giant one slammed the bottle down on a table, making Phantom really dazed and proceed to forget about her, walking out of the dungeon  with Giant two.

The table was high, 15 feet high maybe? Whatever it's actual height was, I have no way of getting up. Even with a short-distance teleporter in my bag (Yes, I have one, I also have food, my phone, earphones, a water bottle, spare clothes, a tracker and stun gun, that's all I have, stop asking what else is in my bag)

Looking around, I saw a chair that was half the table's height. Good, that gives me a platform! I set the short-distance teleporter to the chair's height and teleported up and up till I reached the table.

The table was clean except for Phantom's bottle, a fancy walking cane too small for a giant but enough for a human which I recognise as it was designed for Phantom. The cane is solid black, around a meter long, decorated with a black dragon head at the top with rubies as its eyes and one large round ruby in its jaws. Speaking of the devil, Phantom seems oblivious to my existence, it's back facing my direction, clearly in deep thought, it's not her fault that I made her an intelligent person.

I went and tapped on the glass, Phantom's head snapped back and pounced, hissing, baring her teeth and flickering her tongue at me, eyes flashing red. The only thing between me and my demise was the bottle.

I held my hands up and declared, "Hey, hey, Phantom, you might not know me and I understand you not trusting me now but I'm here to help, I know where Serpentinus is!"

That got her attention, she calmed down, her red tail laying flat on the bottom of the bottle, her standing posture straight and threatening (also my design of her character that she has a bit of poise here and there). She tilted her head slightly to the side, narrowing her red eyes, "How... do you know who I am? And where are they taking her?"

"It's a long story, let me break you out first," I went towards her and made eye contact. Goodness, I really made her taller then. Phantom was about 5'7 and I am 5'5. That made me look immensely smaller despite we are almost similar.

I start to hit the glass of the bottle using the butt of my stun gun.

"So what is your plan... umm?"

"Eda, I created you and Serpentinus and... the world."

Despite the bombshell I dropped, she looked fairly calm. Phantom nodded, "You are basically God?"

I kept hitting the glass, cracks start to form. I said, "No, I'm just known as the Creator."

Phantom formed a silent 'oh'.

She is receiving the news better than I thought. I wonder how Serpentinus will receive it.

The glass gave way with a loud smash. I delivered the last blow too hard. I was momentarily worried that we had alerted guards, but seems like no one heard us, nice!

Phantom flew out of the shards in an instant. She went and retrieved the walking cane, changing into human form, she wore a rose red button up shirt with a vest over it, black pants and boots. Her raven black curls hung loosely over her face and reached her upper back. Her irises are, thankfully, black instead of red.
