Chapter Twenty One - No Hope

Hey guys! As I mentioned, this chapter may not make people extremely happy...But, it's all necessary! I promise you, it is! It'll make the story a lot more fun too. :3 So, uh, don't kill me over this, okay?

And I apologize for how short last chapter was! I had to leave so I wasn't able to add as much detail as I would've liked. .

Pyromaniactic Pineapple : Thank you! I'm glad you like it!

Evx : Haha, they just want to keep Teague safe! But yes, you can torture them - just please don't torture Nix cause he was just following Ever cause he likes her ;; - in your fanfiction. cx Of course, we'll find out how Mina feels this chapter...

Dagger: Thank you, I'm glad you like it! And I'm sorry for how short it was. ;; I was also kind of tired when I wrote it, which is why it was so short. And shhh, it's okay. I'm sure he'll get what he deserves later...Maybe.

Guest 1 : Possibly. But, there was that deal he was supposed to make with just getting split. Now that that's null, we'll have to find out what's next for Mina...

themagicalmarissa : I know, it's so hard to decide which is better! cx Of course, people may decide once they see what happens to Mina because of it...Hehe. :p

But enough of my little hinting and teasing! Let's get this show - er, chapter - on the road, shall we?

Mina's POV

"Well, look at that." His awful laugh fills the air as I struggle against the ropes.

So, apparently he can't play music and control me if he's playing music and controlling someone else. Or if he's crossed planes. Which, he did, in order to check if Teague was coming.

"Well, are you going to untie me and take me to Teague?!" I spit.

"Now why would I do that?" He asks, tilting his head like I just asked a stupid question.

"Because there was a deal!"

"Ah, yes, there was a deal. But he didn't show."

It's like a slice directly to the heart. "What?"

He gives another horrid laugh. "He. Didn't. Show."

"No. No! No, that's not possible!" I struggle harder.

"Mina, Mina, Mina, he obviously doesn't care for you as much as you thought. You were just a plaything." He steps closer, his voice a whisper as he voices out loud every single one of my secret doubts. "He never cared for you. You were just something he had for when he was bored."

"No..." I whisper, tears welling in my eyes.

"I can make the pain go away, Mina..."

"What?"

"I can make all this pain go away."

"Please don't kill me." I plead. "Please don't kill me! I don't want to die!" There's the part of me holding onto the hope that Teague will still come.

"Aw, now why would I do that?" He gives a softer chuckle that doesn't sound so strange. "No, we still have a game to play, Mina. But I can make you not feel so bad..."

His hands go to his pipe.

"No. No no no. No, not that again."

"This time it will help you, Mina." He whispers. "It'll take away all your sadness."

"No! No, don't use that on me again!" I shriek the words.

And he begins to play, the words haunting my mind and triggering something. You will forget ever having a connection to them. Their names will hold no value to you. They will mean nothing. They will be like strangers to you. And you will be attracted to me instead of the Dark Prince...

Everything is slipping away too fast. I can't hold onto any of it, as if I'm trying to keep grains of sand in my hand. There's only one thing I manage to hold onto. Icy blue eyes. There's some reason that I have to remember them. What is that reason? I don't remember. But, it was important. I need to remember them. I need to!

Everything goes black as I collapse.

Like I said before, I promise it's all necessary! Of course, you guys can tell me how much you dislike it in the reviews. cx I know, I know, it was a cruel move on my part! But, it's gonna be okay. Maybe.

Now for the three needed reviews!
