He waited until Narissa had left, then he rolled onto he side and attempted to try and squeeze his hands free of the rope. He should have known better…
The ropes suddenly sprouted thorns, not unlike those of a rose. The thorns dug into the flesh of his forearms and wrists. He bit his lip until it bled to stop himself from crying out. He tried to lay perfectly still, hoping that the thorns would cease.
'Damn witch…' he thought. 'She's always one step ahead…' he took a deep shaky breath and waited. When the thorns did nothing but push against his now raw, bleeding wrists he became frantic. He could handle the pain but not for long. He felt the his warm blood trickle down his wrists as he tried to keep quiet and lay perfectly still.
As the thorns grew and pushed, he whimpered and groaned, doing anything to stop himself from screaming so that Narissa wouldn't hear him and come back. He rolled onto his other side, he had no idea why, he felt the thorny bindings sprout vines, the vines
curled and wrapped themselves around his forearms, as they continued to climb up his arm, thorns sprouted from them as well.
'I don't believe this!!'
He was growing more and more frantic by the minute. The thorns finally dug into his neck after wrapping around his shoulder. He cried out in agony as he felt the tips press against his throat. He screamed and writhed as the thorns grew and grew. His entire arms, shoulders, and back were cut and covered in blood. The rain poured harder and harder, the droplets pounding on his agonized body.
He heard distant footsteps, coming closer and closer to him. He heard her voice before he saw her.
"I hope you've learned a lesson…" he looked into the dark face of Narissa.
"Maybe next time you won't be so foolish and think that you can actually escape me…"
He couldn't breathe. The thorns dug into his neck.
"P-please…" he begged.
She laughed, a smirk on her face.
Waving her arm, the bonds subsided, and he heard her footsteps die away again. The vines were now ordinary rope once more. But he was not going to test them. He lay looking up at the black sky. No stars, no moon…
Just rain…
He felt the cool droplets hit his face and bloodied body, watched the water fall from the sky, listened to it hit the ground with a soft splash. Blood and water ran over his body, and his bare chest had a deep gash from the vines. If Narissa didn't kill him, surely he would bleed to death.
So now he could only wait…
Wait to live…
Wait to die…
He could only wait now…
"Only wait…"
A/N: Hey, really sorry this one took so long... I just didn't have the time to type it. But I finally was able to. Another thing... The first sentence on some of these chapters repeats itself... I have no clue what that's about... my computer must be screwed up. --;
Hope you like this chapter! Chapter 7 coming soon! (Alot sooner than this one... lol)
