Midlight (Third in the Apocalypse Saga)

Chapter 26 ~ Captive

Chapter 26 ~ Captive

* Macy's POV *

Everything went from bad to worse, or even from worse to even more worse. I did not know if they had plenty experience in the kidnapping department because on their part they did a pretty good job. I had lost hope completely and honestly, I didn't even know if I wanted to be saved. What was the point? The Volturi had won whatever they were hoping to win. My family had no chance against them. The only good thing was that they stopped moving around so much and they left us be. We wouldn't even bother to escape anymore.

I wasn't even convinced that I was being looked after anymore. I had a severe case of Stockholm Syndrome so a small selfish part of me wouldn't mind staying here forever. Even though I was half in love with him before this began. He did pay me visits but never said anything or met my eye. Everything seemed so painful for him, if only he knew what I felt.

They still denied me of sleep somehow. I didn't even fall asleep in fear of seeing the tortuous images again. Also due to the lack of sleep my senses were slowly giving up on me. I could only hear if I tried extremely hard and I was too tired to open my eyes. It didn't help that I kept on getting visions of different places. But really I couldn't find that I cared. We were deep in a cabin, probably in the middle of nowhere so no one would stumble upon us on accident.

I wondered if Elijah was close to me. The thought was definitely enlightening.

 I looked at my hands and saw his instead. They were dirty like mine and weak, but he managed to flex his. I also heard a quiet whisper in my mind that was also part of the vision too. I think I'm missing him too much.

Come on Macy I know you’re there. It’s me Elijah, can’t you see at least part of me?

My eyebrows furrowed I was somewhat certain that his voice was deliberate, how could I make something up? If he could communicate with me couldn't I do the same?

* Elijah’s POV *

I was almost certain that we were in the same place because her surroundings and my own were identical. I knew that the constant stream of visions weren’t just my mind playing games on me. They were too real and they didn’t have any resemblance of Selestia’s horrors either. I thought maybe we were born with twin powers. The idea hadn’t really been explored before, especially as we’re the only set of hybrid twins but I couldn’t think of any other explanation.

The thought gave me some sort of ease. I knew that Macy was more or less in the same condition as I, which in its own ways weren’t too comfortable but at least she was still alive. I wanted to communicate with her, maybe we’ll be able to locate each other. However I guessed that the power was two sided.

I flexed my hands in front of me, concentrating on invading her vision. She sat still. I tried to send some kind of telepathic message asking her about her whereabouts. I could imagine her thinking that it was just her mind fooling her.

Come on Macy I know you’re there. It’s me Elijah, can’t you see at least part of me?

She was already still but now she was frozen. Had she heard me?

Elijah…?

I let out a huge sigh of relief. I was right all along, I didn’t sound like a fool in my mind.

Macy where are you?!

I’m in a cabin… Elijah are you actually there? Or am I talking to myself?

I smiled. I had never wanted to hear her voice so much. My dearest sister.

I’m in a cabin too and I think we’re alone. We need to break out.
