Three weeks earlier…

I feel cold, as shooting pains run through my entire body. I remember; I remember everything. The roaring of the flames; the heat as the black smoke surrounded the room. The screaming filled with fear, the look of pain in Natara's eyes. She's all I can think about as I sit here numb and alone; I'd never forgive myself if anything happened to her. As I try to move my arms, they feel restricted like they're bound to something and as I attempt to move my legs it's the same feeling. Taking a deep breath, I try to open my eyes. My vision blurs as it meets the bright lights that hang overhead. Snapping them shut once again, I hear a familiar voice that causes all my senses to sharpen as I jolt my head up.

"Oh good, you're awake."

Looking up, I see Selene Mensra stood by the door wearing an sinister smirk across her face.

Mal:" Selene I thought you were-"

Selene:" Locked away? Well that place is easier to get out of than you'd think. But we both know that isn't what you want to ask me, is it?"

Glaring up at her, I watch as she paces around me. Watching intently like a hawk at everything I do. Just by the gleam in her eye; I can tell that the other Selene, the Selene I used to know isn't there anymore.

Mal:" What do you want?"

She stops in her tracks, turning back to face me. Her evil glare so cold, it could freeze a desert.

Selene:" You."

As she says this, my stomach turns. I glance back up in disgust, spitting back words in a cold tone.

Mal:" What the hell, makes you think that I'd ever take you back?"

Her cold exterior changes instantly as she lets out a mocking laugh; crossing her arms and looking down at me.

Selene:" You think that's what this is all about?! I suppose now you're expecting that this is the part where I rant about how no woman could ever love you the way I do and how we're meant to be together! Actually, you couldn't be more wrong Mal. I don't love you, I despise you! You ruined everything, we were so close. So close, all those experiments and for what?! You meddled in something that wasn't your business and now Professor Gable is gone and I was left to rot in that- that PLACE! While you moved on with your life forgetting all about it!"

Leaning close; sending chills down my spine. Selene placed her lips close to my ear, her acidic voice hissing with every word.

Selene:" But of course, your past always comes back to bite you. You should know that better than anyone."

Taking a step back, Selene stands a few paces away from me. With her back facing me, she tilts her head to the side as she glances at me in the reflection of a small dirty mirror that hangs on the wall in front of her.

Selene:" And now I finally get to watch you and Natara suffer."

I feel myself shake with anger as she mentions Natara. My fists clench shut, as my blood boils and my heartbeat races in my chest.

Mal:" Don't you dare hurt her!"

Spinning back to face me, I see the sardonic grin on her face.

Selene:" Now that's my favourite part. I don't have to do anything; she'll do it to herself."

Mal:" What do you mean?"

Selene doesn't say anything as she comes closer towards me. She kneels so her eyes level with my own as she sends me a look that could kill.

Selene:" The fire Mal. She thinks you're dead, she thinks it's all her fault. The guilt and the remorse; it'll torture her every minute of every day until eventually, she'll break. Although I have to say, I am disappointed that I won't be able to see it first-hand. But right now you're my main focus, and I'm not making any mistakes this time."

I break eye contact with her as my eyes glance down at the floor, letting out a satisfied sigh; Selene rises to her feet. I pull my arms back in a feeble attempt to loosen the ties on my wrists but wince in pain as they just cut into my flesh drawing blood. Feeling my heart sink and the lump in my dry throat, all I can think about is Natara. Violently grabbing my chin, Selene pulls my face up inches away from her own.

Selene:" You think I don't recognize that look?! You're thinking about her aren't you? Well I know you wouldn't be stupid enough to put her in danger, you care too much."

As I pull my head out of her grip, she steps back and she strides towards the only door out of this dark room. I feel the desperation and worry for Natara build up inside of me as I try standing from my chair, only to be yanked back into place by the ties that hold me down.

Mal:" What are you talking about?! Selene?! Answer me!"

Freezing on the spot, she turns back. Slowly pacing towards me with a look of stone on her face.

Selene:" As far as I'm concerned, you're to blame for all this! But you have to choose who suffers for it! Natara or you. You see the minute you escape, I'll just come after her anyway. So what's it going to be?"

Looking at her as she stood waiting, I didn't need to say anything. The pleading look I gave her to spare Natara was all it took. And as I sealed my own fate; I watched her lips as they curled into a sinister smile.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Please review! Jade xx
