A Step Into The Future

Chapter Six

Freedom Once Again

Part 1: Vlad's Torturing Me.

Kirst sighed as the TV started to float once again. Freddy didn't look too happy, he looked sad, as if he were missing something.

"What's wrong Freddy?" Kirst asked the TV. "Did you tell them?"

"I tried but, they were so angry, Danny ended up pulling the plug, they think that you have gone to visit people. I have an update though." Freddy informed her.

"What's the update?"

Footsteps were heard outside the room and got louder. Some beeping noises were heard and Kirst looked at the TV who fell to the floor; Freddy had chickened out.

The door slowly disappeared and the old man walked in. there was a ghost girl floating behind him, carrying Kirst's breakfast. Kirst hadn't got very much sleep because she was still quite worried.

"I see that you are awake."

"Why are you keeping me caged up like an animal?" Kirst asked, placing her hands upon her hips.

"Because I can." was Vlad's reply.

The ghost flew in front of Kirst and placed the tray on a table in front of it. "Here is your dinner, my lady, if you need me, I will be in the kitchen."

Kirst looked down at the tray of food. She saw a piece of stale bread, a bowl of oats and a glass of rotten milk. She picked up the bread and nibbled at it; she was starving and would eat it if she had to.

She had explored the fridge the previous day to see one biscuit which she ate because she felt as if she was going to die.

"Today is an important day, young Kirstyn, for today, we will be setting up our plan. You will HAVE to obey me or I can do things to you that you know I WILL do." Vlad threatened.

Kirst swallowed the rest of her bread and looked up at Vlad. "Why can't you do whatever you want me to do yourself? You are stronger than me!"

"Ah, but I need a little helper, someone who they think they can trust, someone powerful, someone, like you." Vlad smirked.

Kirst ignored him and took a sip of the milk. She almost spat it out but told herself that she needed a drink and the milk was the only drink she could access at the moment. She didn't drink it all at once; she decided to save a little bit to wash down the oats which didn't look normal.

She started to shovel some into her mouth and chewed, ignoring the strange taste. Vlad seemed to have wandered off but Kirst didn't care. She finished the oats and drank the rest of her milk. After that, she noticed a wardrobe near the bathroom.

"I didn't look there before." Kirst said to herself as she rushed towards it.

Inside were some clothes that she REALLY liked. It was hard to choose but after ten minutes, Kirst chose to wear a black skirt which looked like it was made just for her when she put it on and a pink and black off the shoulder top.

Kirst found a brush, a toothbrush, toothpaste and other items in the bathroom. She put her hair in a bun with her pink and black fringe hanging free. She found a nice necklace which had a love heart shaped onyx stone hanging down from it.

She slipped into one of the many pairs of shoes. They were black high-heels that made no sound when she moved her feet. She put some hot pink earrings in her ears and stepped out of the bathroom.

Vlad was standing near the door, waiting for her to come out. When he saw her, he smiled. "So, are you liking the gifts?"

"They are quite nice but, I would not like you any better for material possessions." Kirst told him.

His smile vanished for a few seconds then came up once again. "Well, come along, we have lots to do."

"Why should I? What if I don't WANT to go with you?" Kirst started to be stubborn.

"As I mentioned before, I'm more powerful than you, your weak, weak, weak, weak!" Vlad pushed his finger against her nose every time he said 'weak'.

Kirst sighed; she knew that he WAS stronger than her and even though she hated to admit it, he was right. She followed him out of the room and down the hall. When they were about to leave the house, two bodyguards grabbed her hands and lead the way.

Kirst sighed as she saw a field that had a shield all around it. Vlad lowered the shield and they entered.

"Now, I need you to transform, otherwise I will do something to you, something I would rather not say at this moment." Vlad instructed.

Kirst rolled her eyes and did what he told her to. She was instructed to practise her aim by using her telekinesis to throw random objects that were scattered around the two.

"Can I stop now? I'm REALLY tired." Moaned Kirst after three hours of continuous work.

"ABSOLUTELY NOT!" yelled Vlad. "Now I want you to get the grass and plants to wrap around me and hold me there for ten minutes while you continue to use your telekinesis."

"Now, tell that dog to attack you so you can test your strength…"

Kirst swallowed and looked at the dog. She wiped sweat off her face but said no words. She had been working for 12 hours straight and had no breaks or food and drink. She was about ready to collapse because Vlad had been working her too hard.

She spoke to the dog that jumped on her and knocked her over. Vlad shook his head and clicked. Two male bodyguards ran up to the girl and picked her up. They carried her into her room and put her on the couch. They put a glass of water on the table and left the room.

Two hours later Kirst woke up. Her every muscle was sore. She lifted her arm and winced when the pain shot through her. She slowly reached for the glass of water and lifted it up. The drink was refreshing, she had needed it.

Slowly, she lifted her body off the couch and walked over to use the privy. She didn't noticed the man enter her room and have the ghost servant put a tray on her table so she got quite a surprise when he was standing near the door.

"eat." He instructed.

Kirst looked at him and then the tray of food. It was different than her breakfast. This time there was a bowl of soup, some more stale bread and a glass of water. Kirst ate it, not caring what it was and turned to Vlad.

"That was disappointing." Vlad told her, trying to keep his voice calm.

"You worked me for 12 hours, I couldn't handle it, and I needed a break!" Kirst told him.

"Oh please! You are such a child! You needed a break?" Vlad spat.

"Yes, I am a child and yes I NEEDED A BREAK, GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK MIND!" Kirst yelled, losing control over her temper.

"That's not the way to treat the man who will one day rule this world." Vlad told her.

"The only thing you will rule IS THAT STUPID, UGLY, HORRID GHOST NAMED BOB!" Kirst yelled.

Vlad didn't seem to be very offended by any of this, it seemed as if he were used to it. He didn't answer her; instead, he seemed deep in thought.

"I am going to have to punish you." He told her.

"Oh please, if you get rid of me, who will do your dirty work?" Kirst asked Vladimir.

"I didn't say I was going to get rid of you, I said I was going to punish you." He reminded her.

"And how are you going to do that? Get the wooden spoon?" Kirst was pushing the limits.

Vlad smiled and two very dark rings appeared just above his waist. One travelled up, the other down, transforming Vlad into the evil ghost, Plasmius or also known as the Wisconsin ghost and Vlad's ghost half.

"You will never cross me again, woman." Vlad told her.

What am I doing? I am already hurt and I go and push it? I MAKE him hurt me? I am soo dumb; he is torturing me, making me do too much and then hurting me if I can't do it, if only I could contact others through my mind…

Yes! Sorry, I know it is shorter than usual but this is only ONE part of this… I really need to hurry up and finish it, I keep forgetting to update! I need you Steph; I need to figure out something, something that will make my story work… anyway, hope ya enjoyed the first part in Freedom Once Again… Read and Review,

Love Kirst…
