Chapter 7 – Painful moments
'Ouch, that hurts', mutters Eva painful. When her sight is adjusted to the darkness around her, she takes a while to look around. This is definitely one of the flying temples of Oban. So that would mean I'm back again. With difficulty she gets to her feet and she stumbles to the nearest window. Well what she remembered of Oban wasn't correct anymore. All the green grass, flowers, trees and ponds are gone. The planet now look likes one big fire ball. Even when the planet was turned into a dessert, during the few hours Canaletto ruled, it wasn't as bad as this. What in on earth happened here? 'Do you like it?', from the shadow appears Jordan. No, not Jordan. This is an Avatar gone wrong flashes threw her mind. Before she even could get her thoughts back to the man before her, she feels a sharp pain in her face. The Avatar had slapped her! ' Don't you think I don't know, my love. Just like you're irritating, Nourasian friend I too can read minds', he hisses at her. With a the strength Eva has in her, she straighten herself and is in her eyes settles the look of pure disgust. 'You're not the friend that I left on Oban six years ago!', she is yelling at him. 'This is not the boy I saw as my friend and partner. And you were never my lover!' Jordan eyes turn colder and the flames around him are growing wider. 'You'll pay for this! I love you more that princey could ever do! Just wait…', and with the slamming of the door he is gone again. Exhausted and in pain Eva is standing in the dark and empty room. But why is it empty? She thinks as she goes through her knees and sits on the ground.
Two days has passed and still the Avatar hasn't shown himself again. Bored and stubborn Eva walks to the door. The last two days she only sat in the room thinking about what happened. Her memories about Aikka in the hangar are keeping her strong. I must see him again. I must be in his arms again. I must be…She is amazed when the doorknob turns like normal doorknobs do and the door swings open. If I only had know that… She begin to walks through the empty corridors. Everything has changed so much since she was her last. Even in the inside of the temple you can see the red flames raising from the planets surface. She still can't believe that Jordan did that. Her thoughts wonder to the mysterious giant beasts she met on Oban six years ago. Their manes turning yellow and their singing. All dead now. Tears start running down her cheeks and even with al those flames down there she is feeling cold as ice. Then her stomach begins to rumble and she realizes that she hasn't eaten in 3 days.
Hungry she begins to search for food. But every room is just as empty as the one she left. Nowhere she can find something that even look likes food. Then suddenly after coming passed her room again, (she was walking in circles all the time), her eyes spot a portal inside one of the rooms. 'Hmm, that wasn't there before', she mutters as she start walking toward it. She had an idea where the portal would taken her. She had been there before when Satis was still the Avatar. But hungry and grumpy she decides that she has to take her chances and she jumps through the portal.
She finds herself looking at a table loaded with food and wine. Hungry she want to attack the food but is hold back by the voice of Jordan. 'I thought you would come after you were getting hungry.' He picks up a glass of wine. 'Thirsty?', he smiles his ice-cold smile. 'Or are you rather hungry?', pointing at an plate full with some kind of crispy chicken legs. Suspicious Eva is watching the food and wine. It's probably poisoned! 'It's really not poisoned my love', the Avatar is reading her mind. 'I just want you to eat and after that we will have a good long talk about what happened to us and why I'm acting like this.' When Eva is ever looking back at this moment she will tell you was naïve that night, but she took something to eat…
'Let go of me!', the young woman is yelling. 'You have no right to this to me!' But Jordan isn't listening to her. He had thrown here over his shoulder and now he is walking through some corridors towards a room where lights are burning. When Eva is carried in her blood freezes. The room appears to be the Avatars bedroom. On the floor lies red carpet, of the fluffy kind, red drapes are hanging in front of the windows and at the right side of the room stands a big king-sized bed. Totally panicking now, the Earthling start to kick. But Jordan has always been strong so she stands no chance. With a cruel movement he throws her onto the bed and is pinning her arms and legs. 'I'll not let go. Not again. This time I'll have you', he whispers evil. Eva notice how she is beginning to drift of. She can't speak anymore and her arms and legs are feeling heavy. You seduced me, you bastard flashed through her mind. She shivers when the man on top of her starts kissing her in her neck. It's so soft… this can't be Jordan… She almost stops fighting, but when he puts forcefully his lips on hers she remember her kiss with Aikka. She tries to fight back, but her body won't respond at the movement her mind are thinking. The only thing she can do is cry: 'Stop it! You have no right, you foul bastard.'
Eva wants nothing more to step out of her body at the point where the Avatar pulls her cloths away. His hands on her breasts, hips, belly, everything hurts so much. His nails are leaving bloody stripes behind. But the real pain comes at the moment where Jordan slips his finger inside of here. Well slide… Eva mourns of pain and she the only thing she can hope for is that this is a very bad dream. The pain retreats a little bit, when the man is pulling is finger back. But if she thinks that it's over she is extremely wrong. With hunger in his eyes her former friend is tossing his cloths away and pushes her legs apart. 'I'm sorry my love, but this may hurt', he whispers in her ear. Eva shouts when he is entering her. She feels her blood flow on the blankets. Tears run down her cheeks and she want to do everything to just die at that moment. The pain increases with every push of the man on top of her and she is close to unconsciousness. Daddy, Rick, Aikka, friend… where are you guys when I really need you? She thinks just before she slides away in that peaceful blackness.
