Uprising | The Spies Protectors Book III

Chapter Five

One Of The Same
Izzy Steallarhart

I woke up to a sharp electric pain in my hip. Surely enough I jumped awake, tied down to what I think was once a bed. Trees were above me, and I smelled smoke, I managed to looked around, and I saw that I was still in fact inside of Scarlette's village. I saw Scarlette and Twilight, both were awake and tied up to a tree nearby. 

There were several armed guards all around me, and standing right next to the bed was Stitches, holding a taser in her hand. She ran a long finger across my face gently. 

"So precious" Stitches mumbled.

"I thought you were going to kill me?" I grunted, a sharp pain in my rip, she must've broken one while I was passed out.

"Oh, I will" Stitches spoke brushing my hair back. "But since it's you that found me I just had to make you suffer a little first your highness" 

"Shut up bitch!" Twilight shouted from the tree. "Izzy! Don't take anything from her!" Stitches raised her hand and clenched it into a fist, her hand glowing turquoise, instantly I heard Twilight struggling to speak, and then I heard her choking.

"Stop it!" I spoke. Twilight started making a low gurgling noise, Stitches just smiled as she looked at me. 

"Stop it!" I shouted shaking in my bonds. I focused my powers on the ropes, and on Stitches hand, trying to rip it apart, but nothing was happening, I felt a turquoise glow blocking me out. Twilight made a low strained breathing noise, as if she was about to pass out.

"STOP IT!" I shouted, a burst of power coming off of me like a wave, shaking the trees and leaves like a heavy breeze.

Stitches opened her palm and her hand returned to normal, a large smile spreading across her face. I heard Twilight gasp for air.

"Good" Stitches smiled.

"You bitch!" I shouted. "Let me out of these things!" 

Stitches smiled grabbed my cheeks on my face and squeezing them. 

"Use the rage! It's your most powerful weapon you twisted soul you" Stitches smiled. "Trust me, I know" Stitches let go of me and backed off, tracing a finger down my body and waist, all the way down to my feet.

"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked, taking fast deep breaths.

"I can see why Jack likes you, your innocence and beauty remind him of the life he wishes he has. But your issues also give him something to connect with. Still, aren't you ever worried that once he finds out what you really are, that he'll leave?" Stitches asked.

"Stop trying to get in my head" I mumbled.

Stitches smiled. "Alright, but I'm sure your wondering how exactly I'm keeping you in those ropes. After all your a core user, how could I possibly be able to counter that?"

I was curious about this, obviously she had a core, and obviously it was the Chaos Core. But that begs the question, didn't Kara have the Chaos Core? And if so, what happened to Kara?

"You have Kara's core" I answered.

Stitches smiled. "Close my dear, you see I've been watching you for a few weeks now. Ever since Tony died and his core came to me, I've been getting these powers, and constantly I would see you. At first, I figured it was just showing me the princess from my youth, that maybe I was loosing my mind. But now I see what it was trying to tell me" Stitches smiled. 

"We are one in the same Ms. Steallarhart" Stitches explained.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.
