Aria's POV
I sat in the courtyard meditating. The damned hospital finally let me out a week ago. Even so everyone was sill fussing over me.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and jumped.
"A little scared I see." Wilder laughed.
"How the hell did you even get in here?" I snapped.
"That's none of your concern."
"Don't tell me you're going to kill me again. I think by now you should know it doesn't work." I stood up and crossed my arms over my chest. "I don't even find you a threat anymore."
"You don't have to." Someone grabbed me from behind and I burned their hands.
"You never learn, do you?" I asked. "Bristle-bind!" The vines grew from the ground and wrapped around the men's legs and arms.
Someone grabbed me from behind again and put a cloth over my mouth an nose. Chloroform. I clawed at the man's hands but it was only moments before I was knocked out.
I woke up in a cell bound to a chair. I swear that man had less brain cells then limbs.
"Nice to see you awake." Wilder hissed.
"I'd rather go back under."
"I'm not here to hurt you. Not if you cooperate anyway."
"Save it. I know exactly what you want me to do. You want me to join you in taking over the Organization because, as your daughter, I should listen to you and fulfill yours and my mothers perfect plan."
"Precisely."
"Well you can forget it."
"Come now you don't mean that."
"Don't I?" I raised an eyebrow.
"I think I can change your mind." He opened the door to the cell and stepped inside. "Stone-grip." With the hand he used the spell on he slapped me. I spit blood onto the stone floor.
"Cute." I said, trying to mask my discomfort.
"I'm not finished yet." With the same hand he then punched me. I spit out a tooth as blood dripped from my nose.
"Well you got something out of me." I smirked.
"I guess it's time for a different approach." He pulled a knife from his pocket and swiped it across my cheek.
"Why do you have to keep hitting my face?" I asked sarcastically. He raised the knife again and I caved. "Alright! I'll join you or whatever. On one condition."
"Which is?"
"I get to waist Dante and his team."
"Why would I let you do it?"
"Think about it. They're the ones that kept me from fulfilling your plans for me. I see the mistake I made trusting them. Now I want them to see there own mistake."
"Very well."
"Great. Now can you untie me? This is the most uncomfortable I've ever been." He began removing the ropes from my arms and I smirked. The moron won't know what hit him.
