Hey guys thank you soooo much for the reviews and follows and everything! It means soo much, when I read each and everyone of your reviews it just makes my day so much better. So thank you! I know I was suppose to update last night, but I got too caught up with the Teen Wolf marathon all day yesterday and then the new episode last night. Another thing I wanted to address, some people have mentioned I sometimes have a few spelling errors, I write all my chapters on Microsoft Word first and double check if there are any spelling mistakes, there is almost never any. But I am Canadian and we do spell some words differently than people in the states do. With that being said enjoy this chapter!
Felicity wakes screams being muffled by the pillow. 'So much for that nap,' she thought. Her stomach growled, she hasn't had anything to eat since last night after visiting Slade, but the ham sandwich did nothing to ease the pain in her stomach. She had been given another bottle of water this morning and couldn't resist downing the whole thing from the dry mouth she's had since Slade called Oliver.
'Oliver. He's going to find me I know he is. Maybe they're already on their way, maybe he was able to track-no Slade's not that stupid, he would have blocked the signal or had it bouncing around everywhere.' Felicity thought rolling over.
She was going stir crazy in this place with nothing to do and not having access to a tablet or any internet was killing her. She didn't even know how long she has been gone for. 'They turn the light off at night, and a new guard comes for the night shift. So I've been here for… 2 or 3 days maybe. Okay, Felicity focus.'
Felicity laid there for another half hour running things over and over though her mind. 'How does Slade know what Oliver has done?' Oliver has only been home for about a year and a half, before that he was on the island for 5 years. 'Was Slade on the island too?' the door being opened interrupted her thoughts.
"Mr. Wilson insists you join him for dinner as his guest." Her regular guard said with the usual cold deep voice.
Felicity got up. "More like prisoner," she mumbles, receiving a stern look from him making her eyes go wide stopping in mid step. She knows who he is, why he looks so familiar. He was one of the other criminals who escaped from the prison in the earthquake. Fear trembled throughout Felicity, as he grabbed her arm and pulled her down the hallway.
Felicity sits down in front of the same desk with Slade behind it. On the plate in front of her is a massive sirloin steak with sautéed mushrooms and steamed green beans. 'What are they trying to do, fatten me up before I'm killed?' A loud pop made her jump, and she raised an eyebrow at Slade pouring red wine into a glass for her.
"I thought I would treat you to a nice dinner and after yesterday's events, I wanted to sort out any confusion you may have." He said, cutting a piece of the steak and plopping it in his mouth. "Mm, now that is a delicious steak. The best in Starling City or so I hear, it was recommended by a very important friend of mine." He took a sip of wine and continued, "So ask a way my dear, though I hope you understand that some certain things cannot be discussed."
Felicity looked down at the plate of food, this seemed nice, a little too nice. She was reluctant to dig in just incase they put something in the food to drug her but then her stomach grumbled again, loudly this time. Not caring she picked up the fork and started eating. When she looked up Slade was smiling patiently at her, Felicity wiped her mouth on a napkin which she was pretty sure had more thread count than her sheets at home. "Um, you mentioned that you knew Oliver. How do you know him exactly? I mean he's only been home for over a year and before that he was shipwrecked on an island." Felicity mentally face palmed for babbling, Slade already knew all of this. Either he was there too, or has done his homework.
"Ah, yes, I knew that would be one of the questions when I let that slip."
Slade informed Felicity that he was apart of a secret intelligence service in Australia and explained his mission when he went to the island up to meeting Oliver. "The kid was my friend," he said eating the last of his green beans and finishing off his glass of wine, "but then he chose Sara, killing the woman I loved, a woman he was also fond of, Shado." He cleared his throat and for a moment Felicity felt bad for him.
"Wait, Shado?" Felicity asked.
Slade raised an eyebrow, "So he has mentioned her."
Felicity remembered back to just a couple of weeks ago when Oliver was seeing things, when he said he saw Shado, from the island. She felt her face heat up from jealousy of what Oliver and this 'Shado' could have done marooned on the island. She took a big gulp of her wine.
He folded his hands together and placed them under his chin, "I'm not entirely sure what to do with you yet. I am still going through options in my head." Slade smiled. "I did try to kill him, but in the end I failed." As he says this he subconsciously strokes his eye patch.
A shiver went though Felicity as she realizes that Oliver was the one who caused the injury and that Slade will kill her so Oliver knows what it feels like, to know what he went through with Shado.
Felicity uncrosses her legs and looks down at her half eaten steak something goes through her like a bolt of energy. She grabs the knife she was just using, holding it tight. In a fast motion she gets up and slices the guard across his forearm then attempts to stab him, the blade coming to a halt and bends at the contact with the muscle. Felicity lifts the blade up to see the new shape it's taken and drops it stumbling backwards from the guard that's now coming at her but she isn't quick enough. He smacks her across her face with the back of his hand knocking her out instantly.
Hope you guys loved this chapter! I have tons of stuff planned for the next 4 chapters and I'm so excited to start writing them and to hear your reactions, it's just going to keep getting more exciting and juicier. Plus it makes waiting for the next episode a lot easier and go by faster. Until the next time, bye guys :)
