I wanted to run, but I couldn't move. Nothing. My arms were still bent in 90-degree angles. The man in the black cloak walked around to face me. Fear coursed through my veins. His eyes were filled with lustrous gold. I had never seen it in eyes besides my own. 
"Finally, we meet," he said in a cold voice. A chill ran down my immobile spine. He slowly paced around me.
	"I have waited a long time for this moment, Jane," he continued. "It's a shame you've decided to rebel. Your family would have received the highest of honors if you had joined my forces. Your powers could have destroyed empires." My fear shifted to rage as he spoke of my family. My powers pulled back into me, building up like an impending tsunami. "Release me. Let me destroy him." It whispered. 
"No. Not Yet." I ordered the voice inside me. It wasn't time.  He stopped in front of me and held a gray rag over my mouth and nose. I had no choice but to breathe in the drug coated onto the cloth. He released me from his invisible hold; my legs gave out from under me. I felt my head make contact with the floor before it all went dark.
