Let Your Silence Sing

Chapter 7

I didn't remember falling asleep, but I must have because when I woke up, I was chained to a wall in a sterile white room. Looking around, I saw no one. "Hey! Is there anyone here?" I called. There was no answer. Well, this sucked. Yep, this is what I get for believing for even one second that these men are trustworthy. Geez, this is a new one, chained to a wall with no way of escape. "This better not be some sick sex ploy!" No answer.

I crisscrossed my legs, shrugging. As long as there was no one here to impress I didn't really care what I did, even if that thing would be crisscrossing my legs when I was wearing a skirt. Yep, in retrospect, probably not the best idea. Well, it was more comfortable for the moment, so it didn't matter at that point.

Under my breath, I began to hum one of my favourite songs from my MP3. I eventually got bored with that, but without having anything to do, I started going through all the songs on my playlist that I remembered while I proceeded to have a staring contest with the wall.

If anyone asks, I was totally winning.

I immediately stopped and uncrossed my legs, attempting to look more dignified (as if I could do that, chained to a wall!) as the door to the other side of the room slammed open and crashed into the wall. I felt myself imagining that I was chained to that wall while the door hit me, and probably cracked open my skull.

I looked in interest as Sheril, along with Tyki, and Wisely came in. I stared in silence.

"So, girl, will you tell us where you learned about the Noah?" I looked up at Tyki who had spoken.

"Why should I?" I asked.

"We'll torture you until you say," he threatened.

"Wouldn't that make me less likely to help?" I pointed out, not understanding that whole point of torturing. I supposed that they thought they had this very planned out, supposing that was the reason I was chained to the wall awkwardly. Tyki made a face.

"We could always kill your friends."

"And lose your leverage and bargaining chips?" I sighed; this was irritating. Maybe they weren't as well planned as I had thought. Tyki had a dumbfound look on his face. He gestured to me, exasperatedly before looking to Sheril and Wisely, who shrugged, helpless in the face of my utter genius. (Who said that I didn't have an ego that needed to be fed?) Those two had been oddly quiet during this whole thing. "So, might I ask what's going on, and why I'm chained to a wall like some sort of sex slave?" I questioned.

Sheril, up until that point had been giving something close to an impressed look, but his interest faded as I said that. Ah, I probably just lost any points I had gained for intelligence.

"Right now, we are questioning you," Tyki deadpanned. I made an exasperated sound and shook my head at the ridiculous answer I had just gotten.

"I had no idea. Is that what's going on?" I replied, blankly.

Tyki made another strange face, and he Sheril and Wisely proceeded to converse about something. I tapped my foot against the ground as I waited for them to come to a decision about what to do with me. And then they came up with another brilliant idea.

"Is there anything we can do that will make you tell us?" Wisely asked. They had basically just given up at this point, I supposed. Yep, this definitely wasn't very well planned at all.

"Why do you even care so much- it's not like I would share information with anyone else." It might change the plot, I added silently.

"How much do you know?" Tyki asked.

"You know what intimidates me more than anything?" I completely changed the subject. Tyki looked downright mystified. "Tall people." I nodded. "And males." A second nod.

Tyki then kneeled down and made me look at him, then repeated his question.

"Your breath is really minty and fresh- did you eat a pack of breath mints before you came in here, or something?" Tyki groaned and rested his head backwards.


NAW: How did this even happen...

Neah: What?

NAW: How did Desiree turn out like this? She seems like a complete nut!

Neah: You mean that isn't how she was supposed to be? I donno, I think it suits her!

NAW: That is probably the first encouraging thing you've said to me.

Neah: Naw, it's not! I comforted you during your break-up didn't I?

NAW: No...

Neah: Oh... Yeah, that's right I just laughed at you, didn't I.

NAW/Neah: *Silence*
