Again, sorry it's been a while, but I'm on an 11 day spring break and I plan to write 2 chapters today and at least one other one over spring break. This goes for all my fanfics.
*Emery's POV*
"So, you admit to doing something?" He said, trying to get me to admit it.
"No, I don't." I said, but I knew no one believed anything I was saying.
"Fine, it doesn't matter anyway, I'll know everything soon enough."
"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked, but he didn't say anything, he just walked over to a table where a bunch of stuff was on, stuff that looked alien to me, probably Atrian herbs. He started saying stuff in a foreign language, but according to Roman and Drake reaction, it wasn't anything good. As he kept repeating the same stuff over and over again he started to put some of the herbs and liquids in. He then took the knife and wiped some of the blood off of it and started putting it into the bowl.
"Nooo!" Drake yelled, I looked over at him and both Roman and Drake were freaking out. Whatever he was doing, it had to do with me. "He's doing some spell, and it isn't good."
"There, that's better," He said and walked back over to me. There was then a sharp pain in my heart. I screamed in pain, this was what he was doing, torturing me with magic. All of a sudden it stopped and I felt different, weaker, like I am only half here.
"What did you do to me!?"
"Nothing, just a little magic."
"How?" Drake yelled, "Magic doesn't exist."
"Not on this planet, it's not that evolved yet."
"What? Atria?"
"Yes, Atria, it has a couple million years on Earth, but you knew that, it's more evolved, we have acquired a lot of skills that Humans can't even imagine."
"You're an Atrian?"
"Not just some Atrian, the new leader."
"But, Roman's the leader."
"You see, Roman's the leader of the Atrians who choose to live on Earth with the Humans, I'm the leader of the ones who don't like the Humans, who want them dead, and the planet as our new planet. The Humans are making a mess of it anyway, throwing it away, and expecting it to always be there, we will rule it properly."
"You want to annialate Human kind?"
"Yes and any Atrians who side with them, including you too."
"We will always be on the Humans side, they deserve to live, and they just want to survive, like us."
"But you see, we need a new planet, and there's is the perfect one."
"You won't win, we won't let you."
"That'll be hard dead." He said and went back to me, "Okay, back to you. Now, you say you didn't do anything, right."
"Yes, I didn't do anything!" I yelled at him.
"Okay, then what about Taylor…" He said, and I knew he knew everything, but I have no idea how. How could he know everything I was feeling? "You almost got her killed, didn't you?"
"No…"
"Its no use lying to me, I know everything your feeling, and I can feel when you're lying to me. You know that little spell I did; it connects me to you, helps in interrogation. Cool, isn't it?" He said, I didn't say anything back, I couldn't lie, but I couldn't admit what I was feeling. "Now, I'll ask you again, did you or did you not almost get Taylor killed?"
"No," I said, firmly, he may know everything, but I was still not going to admit it.
"Fine, we'll do this the hard way." He said, walking over to Roman. "I guess I'll tell them myself." He then took a hand over Roman's mouth. "There, now you can speak."
"Emery…." Roman said looking at me.
"Shut up, I may have given your voice back, but I can still take it away." He said and when Roman didn't respond, continued, "Ok, so, let me tell you how Emery really feels. So, first, Taylor, remember what happened to you, the fire, well, she blames that on herself. She thinks…well, because she didn't answer her phone because she was 'busy' she got Grayson killed and almost you too. Then, Roman…where do I begin…she feels a lot for you…I don't even know where to begin."
"STOPPP!" I yelled, I couldn't take it, he was bringing everything back. Roman looked at me, he could see that this was the worst torture I could endure. I could feel the tears fall down my face. I couldn't help crying, it was bringing those feelings back again. "Why are you doing this…?"
"Emery…" Roman said, I looked up at him and all I wanted was his arms around me.
"Ok, now let's continue…" He said and started talking about my feelings, every time he brought something else up, the more I cried I was now on the floor. I could feel myself getting weaker. I guess the more he used it to tap into my feelings the weaker I got. Eventually I passed out.
*Later*
"Emery!" I heard someone yelling, shaking me lightly. I slowly opened my eyes, everything blurry at first. It took me a second to see, when I finally could, I was laying on the ground, out of my chains, Roman and Taylor sitting in front of me.
"Roman!" I yelled and gave him a big hug, wincing in the process.
"Easy Emery, you're still weak." He said, pulling me away.
"What happened?"
"Once we saw you pass out, we acted, and we couldn't handle what he was doing to you."
"Thank you, where's Drake?"
"Keeping guard, are you okay?" Taylor said.
"Yeah,"
"Okay, guys, we got to go, more Atrians will be here any minute." Drake said, peering into the room.
"Wait, what about my parents."
"We'll find them on our way out." Roman said, "Can you stand?" He asked, I nodded and I took his hand and he helped me up. As soon as I stood up I got really dizzy and everything was blurry. I would've fallen if Roman hadn't caught me. "I got you, Emery, I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere." He the put his hands under my knees and picked me up. "Okay, let's go Taylor."
We got out okay, we came close one time, but we made it out. We found my parents a couple rooms down. They were extremely worried about me, but before they could do anything we got shot at and we had to hurry out. Once we were out, we hurried to my house. Once we were there Roman put me on my bed to let me rest. He stayed with me, not wanting to leave my side. Drake explained everything that happened to my parents, confused.
Sorry there escape wasn't too detailed, I didn't have any ideas.
Next episode will be up either today or tomorrow. Hope you enjoyed review and follow for more.
