Chapter Seven
"Wake up." A voice called. "Wake up, we need to get out of here." Celena stirred. You don't even know where you are. How did you know you could trust that lady? Wake up and get out of here."
Her body jolted suddenly and she was awake again.
Celena opened her eyes. She then blinked a few times to let her eyes adjust to the darkness. She shifted and sat up in her bed. The pillows must have fallen on the floor.
"Kaori?" Celena called. There was no reply. "Kaori?" Celena tried a little louder but there was still no response. She got off of the bed she was on and fell to the floor. Her body, she ached all over. Her head was giving her the most pain.
"Kaori?" She called again, even louder. "Please I need you're help."
Someone laughed.
"Help? You're never going to get any help in here. If we work together we can get out but you'll have to let me take over."
"Anything has to be better than you taking over." Celena said in reply. She pulled herself up. The floor, the bed, everything was cold. Everything was … metal? It wasn't wooden and it wasn't cosy any more. And where was Kaori?
Have we both been kidnapped?
Celena walked around the room feeling for a light switch with her hands. She felt something and tried to press. Nothing happened although something definitely went click. Then she heard a siren go off. She moved around the room, scared, not knowing where to go, there was no where to hide.
"Try the door." Celena ran towards the door. There was a small crack of light shining through. She felt around for a handle and tried to turn it.
"It's not working." She cried in despair. "I can't turn it."
"Hit it, kick it, try harder. They're coming."
Celena shook her head.
"Why are you helping me? Is this a trap?" She put her hand around the handle but didn't move it. Her grip tightened. If any one were going to come in to the room then they wouldn't be able to turn the handle.
"No, why would I trap you?"
"This isn't funny Dilandau. If you set this whole thing up."
"Just get out of here."
"I can't open the door." Suddenly she felt a sharp pain shoot through her head. She screamed in agony. She knew what was happening. She tried her hardest to stop him from returning.
"ALLEN!" She screamed. The pain went away for a few seconds but then came back with a vengeance.
She was gone.
Dilandau turned frantically and he realised he was no good at this either.
The door banged and he jumped and turned around. Ready to fight who ever was going to be at the door. Was this a good time for him to be back? He hoped so.
He walked slowly up to the door. The alarm had stopped. The banging on the door had stopped. Everything was quiet. He steadied his frantic breathing down so as he could hear what was going on outside.
"She's awake? Perfect. She'll be weak. I'll get her easily." Said a man's voice. "She'll still be sleepy after the operation."
Operation? Dilandau shivered. What operation? How long had she been here? They had both been asleep? He slowly started to step backwards again.
What was going to happen? Why had she had an operation?
Dilandau shook his head.
Too many questions. Now was not the time. He stepped back against the wall. The door handle turned. He felt his whole body swim with a dizzy feeling.
…
He took a deep breath and prepared for the worst.
The door opened.
