Raven Blake
I smile and shake my head. Idiot! Does he think he can win?
"What are you smiling about?" He asked flashing yellow and slightly decayed teeth. I flinch inside; I would willingly give up to never see his teeth again. I don't respond I just keep smiling. I could beat him yes, but being tied to a chair didn't exactly help my situation. I would wait until I cut the ropes.
"I asked you a question Ms. Blake!" He said exaggerating the fact that I wasn't married. God he is starting to sound like my step mother! What's the rush with getting married? I'm only twenty-three!
"So Ms. Blake," Again with the Ms! "Who are you waiting for? Who do you expect to crash though the door to save you?" He cocked his head slightly to the right as he spoke. The chair he was sitting on was backward and groaned in protest. His skinning pale arms where warped around the back. His rattish looking face resting on them. His beady little black eyes watching my every move. This smelly sewer type room was the perfect habitat for something like him. I looked around and wished I hadn't. Slimly goop dripped from the ceiling. The room was massive but covered in dirt and grime. I flinched inwardly at the smell. I may be a mutant with an attitude problem but I'm still a girl.
"I don't expect anyone," I responded calmly. My face a blank mask.
"I expect to walk out that door on my own accord." A smile broke across his rat face turning it dark and wicked.
"You know if you filed your teeth down to points you would look scary, but right now it just looks gross." I said smiling. I watched his face drop and redness creep up his neck into his face. Rage burned in his black eyes. I smile again putting on my best 'what?' face. He better get here soon or I'll kill her myself! The thought passed though my brain as if it were my own. I looked at the little ratman.
"Who better be here soon?" I asked more Serious now. He gave me a surprised look.
"What?" He asked still looking stupid and confused.
"Who are you waiting for?" I crossed my left leg over my right and fiddled with my knife sheath. If he was waiting for Luca I had better get the ropes off my hands. Then I realized, he doesn't know about my abilities.
"How did you –" He trialed off looking even more stunned and confused than he had a moment before. I wasn't aware it was possible.
"I can read your mind" I said shrugging. "Genetically enhanced." The confusion on his face melted into disbelief.
"Your kidding, stop it or I will shoot you in your head."
"Oh now don't do that Luca wouldn't be very happy. And I'm sure you know what happens when Luca gets unhappy." I had only escaped from his insane clutches eight years ago. He had stolen me from my parents when I was only two hours old. He paid the doctors to tell my real parents that I had died. I hate him for it. My real mother died of a broken heart three months after I was born. He injected DNA samples of Bird, Cat, and Wolf into me and it changed my DNA. Giving me abilities even his scientists could have predicted. Like the ability to read minds.
"You're lying!" He shouted standing. I smile and shake my head my black hair flowing around my like a black velvet curtain. I look up my eyes turning a blood red.
"Willing to bet your life on it?"
