This song is amazing and it fits with the chapter,I think. Btw any Shadowhunters fans here??

My hands ached to do something, I'm locked in this room for a few hours, and it already feels like eternity. According to me, I have fully recovered and with all the energy and magic travelling in my veins, begging me to use it, is really tempting.

The door handle jiggled and someone opened the lock, I stared intently on the door

" You look like a hungry lion" Tyler joked no sooner he came in

" Try to be locked in a room for an eternity" I said making a face

" Don't exaggerate" he scolded me

" Whatever, I don't care, but if I live in this room for one more second, I will die" I said and fell on the bed dramatically

" Don't be so dramatic, that's why I'm here, we're giving you the freedom" he bended on his one knee and spoke dramatically like in a play

" Wow!! Now we have two stage actors in our house" Lucas laughed gently and then pushed Tyler off the floor, that he banged on the floor with a loud noise.

He then dragged me from the bed and took me to  another room which was way more better than the previous one, it also had an attached balcony to it. I immediately opened the door of the balcony and the fresh air hit against my face, it was gentle, I felt alive again.

" Hope you liked the scenery" came a deep voice, which I was sure that it doesn't belong to Lucas or Taylor, I turned around and saw Kartik standing with his hands in his styled and expensive trouser pockets

" Ya, it's good" I replied a bit shyly

" Don't try to do anything, I'm keeping an eye on you" he said sternly and then left the room.

What's the problem with him anyway, I never did anything.

Midnight

Due to the constant change in rooms and my routine, sleep didn't come to me. I think it's normal, because I hardly slept without any overdose of drugs in my body and lying in that creepy dark room which was infested by pests. It reeked of blood and poison. I shivered when I thought about the times Xavier tortured me just for his benefit.

I went to the balcony, but sadly there were no stars in the sky today, it was cloudy and most likely to rain in a few hours. Well what was my magic for, I concentrated a little bit and then I forwarded my hand in the air and a band of stars appeared infront of my eyes, I can play with these, touch them, it was beautiful.

" They're beautiful" someone said from behind and I literally jumped

" Don't scare me" I said

" I'm naturally terrifying" Kartik smirked and stood beside me touching the little tiny stars. But I was actually terrified.

" I don't know what you are, or what you want but I can say you mean no harm to us" he said calmly still looking at my made up stars

" You're being nice" I said, it was more of a question

" Enjoy it then" he said and I smiled unconsciously, if this was the real Kartik then I really want to know him, tell him about my experience and try to know about him, he made me curious about him

" I don't even know who am I" I said, he moved his gaze from the stars towards me, the light from the stars reflected on his face, making his face look angelic, he furrowed his eyebrows as if questioning me.

" I was born like this, I was a orphan, no other kid used to play with me because I was abnormal according to them but one, I don't exactly remember the gender or the face, it's just a  blurry image of a kid playing with me in the orphanage courtyard, and then one day that kid was adopted and they took that kid away, it's like a bad dream" it nearly bought tears to my eyes, though it's all blurry but the emotional attachment was real.

" Cry, let it all out, you would feel good, I've been through it" he said and gave my hand a tight squeeze and left.

Guys please vote and comment, it really motivates me!
