Raise your hand if you plan to plagiarize or sue me…SUCKERS!…those of you with your hands raised are not permitted to read this fic. If that upsets you, too bad, it was stupid of you to raise your hand anyways. Characters belong to MIB The Animated Series, Chand, Del, or me (Amanda/Artiste). Enjoy, those of you with your hands on an MIB comic instead of in the air. ^_^
Written in the Stars: A Destined Romance
Chapter 21: A Disappearing Act
A dim light shown down onto her face, Elle moaned and tried to move around a little. She couldn't, her hands and ankles were bound by tight ropes and another firm strip of rope was wrapped around her shoulders, pinning them to her sides. She felt more rope tighten around her knees binding them close to her chest as she opened her eyes.
One very large, dark figure loomed over her. "Who are you?"
"Ziphron." The harsh answer came.
"You-you're X's old partner!" Elle exclaimed.
"Very good," he replied sarcastically, "now care to guess what you're doing here?"
"Well I'm obviously bait for some trap that your twisted mind has concocted."
"Right again." he dragged her over to the window of the hotel room that he was using as a hideout. "Just look out there, Agent Elle, do you really think that with all the abandoned warehouses, empty barges, and condemned apartments out there your precious partner will think to look for you here?! No. I'll pick the time and place for X's demise. As long as I've got you, that sorry excuse for an agent won't rest until he's found us. Then, when I'm done toying with that buffoon, I'll watch him cringe as I destroy you in front of him and then blast him into a million pieces!"
"NO!" Elle screamed, X was going to be killed by this maniac and there was nothing she could do to help him. She had to think quickly, "You're dumber than you look if you think that X is going to come after me. We HATE each other! He despises humans! There's no way that he's gonna waste his time looking for me!!!"
"Oh stop bluffing Agent Elle. You know as well as I do that X will come looking for you, he's got this sickening loyal streak in him that will inevitably seal his doom." Ziphron replied cockily.
Elle clenched her fists, 'no good, but what was left to try?'. She refrained from struggling as she was shoved into a closet in one of the two hotel bedrooms. Once she heard Ziphron's footsteps fade away, she began working on the ropes around her wrists. 'Cowboy, you'd better be careful.' she thought frantically, 'And for once in your overzealous life, DON'T GET ALL MOCHO ON ME!'
