My eyes flutter open as I lay on the cloud like bed. Birds chirp outside the window where sunlight streams in from. I snuggle into the smooth silk sheets and rub the sleep out of my eyes. Hard knocks ring through the suite and I groan. I wrap myself in a soft robe and open the beautiful chocolate mahogany door. On the other side is my maid, holding an injured kitten. She rushes in,
“Help it, oh please help the little darling! The king- he...”
She started to sob uncontrollably, and a little guiltily now that I think of it. But no time for that now, I have to save this kitten. I close my eyes and focus all of my energy to my second power.
Breath in,
Blood pool starts to shrink
Breath out,
Faint meowing comes from the poor creature
Breath in,
Bullet falls out with a clang
Breath out,
Hole closes up
Breath in,
I am so close but can't do this much longer
Breath out,
His chest starts to rise
Breath in,
Yes, done. I scoop up the grey fluffy ball and he starts to vibrate, the mysterious purring I had heard so much about. The cats at our village did not have the ability, or just didn’t choose to.
“Well done,”
I glance over to see a black shadow towering in the doorway, Malver. In his hand is a shiny silver pistol, still smoking.
“You ghastly creature! Rot in hell!”
I reach out to slam the door in his face but he grabs my wrist before I have a chance,
“Your coming with me and you will give information on the whereabouts of your so called village.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I clasp my hands together as I sit on the cold metal chair of the interrogation room. In comes a woman who introduces herself as the kingdom’s lead investigator. Her sophistication intimidates me, especially after how poorly I have been treated the last hour; the mind control from Malver, being shackled to this uncomfortable chair, and being shoved into this tiny mirrored room. I know that there are people on the other side who are transcribing and recording my every move, this makes me even more uneasy.
“So, are you ready to tell us where your parents are? Remember that they illegally eluded the county police. You are not held accountable since you were so young and had no idea about what was happening and had no control over it.”
I slide down in my chair and glare at her,
“When hell freezes over! I have NOTHING to say to you. There are plenty of good people in that village and I am so happy that your “perfect” little Malver screwed up and didn’t remember where we are hidden.”
“Good people? like Nathanial?”
The name stings like a slap to the face, the boy who I found in the woods, the one who I had fallen in love with secretly. I wonder how they know his name,
“What do you know about Nathan?”
“Oh, we know plenty. Like how he has killed just over forty good natured men. How he led us to you, how he betrayed you, his old childhood friend, and helped our spies to track you down. You wouldn’t be here without your little friend’s help.”
It can’t be true, not Nathan... It can’t be true...
