As you enter the room I smile. Your face looks calm...a bit too calm. An everyday ordinary person couldn't see the thoughts behind your eyes, but I'm not an ordinary person, and neither are you.

"Please, take a seat," I say a bit too loud.

Taking the chair across from me, I instantly notice your shirt, as if it had drawn me to it. The color, an intense dark blue, startles me. It made me feel a sudden emotion, sadness. I tear my eyes away from your attire and follow your eyes to the ceiling.

"No cameras up there," I inform, "in case you were looking."

You take your eyes away from the ceiling and set them on me. Suddenly, I feel the same way I had a moment away. A strong emotion was pulsing through me, only this time, it was jealousy. We hold our gaze moments longer until it's too intense that I have to look away,

Now staring at the floor, I hear you start to clear your throat, and I could feel your eyes still locked on my face.

"Actually, I was scanning the ceiling for something else," you state.

I wait for you to finish but you don't say anything more. I steal a glance in your direction and I see you're smiling. Mentally checking my own face, I return my serious look into a big grin.

"It's coming. It has accepted the request."

Your smile disappears and I begin to feel uncomfortable. I go through another mood change. An instentanious shift to anger. Why was I angry? I push the emotion to the far side of my mind and concentrate. I need to focus if this plan is to work.

" Come now Ella, I've already figured that part out you know. Now tell me why we're really here," you say.

"Since you already know that," I say, "then you should know what they have demanded."

You then smile and I feel a wave of happiness sweep over me, almost like your emotions are transferring into me.

"Of course. It will not be disappointed for I have gotten to see them myself, and they all look marvelous," you inform.

" Oh, then you have not heard of it's change of plans," I begin to say, "it has now wanted the other choice we had to offer. Are you aware of what that offer was?"

You cock your head to the right and stare straight into my eyes. Your own eyes turn white and I know what's about to happen, but I'm prepared for it.

Check.

And mate.
