Chapter 2 - Teague
Yes, yes, I know there weren't three reviews yet, but I am wayyyy too excited to wait, so I'm updating all my stories before we get enough reviews. Think of it as a present from me! Don't expect this a lot though. ;) I would like to try and wait for three reviews majority of the time, unless I'm dying to write. So, anyways, enjoy!
Evx : Yes, I agree. Teague shouldn't be horrified of anything. But, I think dark Mina qualifies I've you've never seen her this mad before. cx
"Mina?" I continue to stare at her in horror.
She's really banged up. And when I say really, I mean it. Her face is bruised, her arms are bruised, her legs are bruised, and I don't even know what else they did to her. Her hair was a tangled mess, although it didn't fly out in all directions, and my only thought is how on earth did they make her look this bad this fast? But that worry flies out the window when I get a look at her eyes.
Oh no. This isn't good at all. I think she's going dark. In just the short time - okay, maybe not as short as I'd like to make it seem - they've had her, they seem to have already completed their goal.
"So they've decided on switching torture methods again? What are you supposed to do, just make my angry? Torture me verbally? Or are you going to attack me?" I didn't expect her to say that when she first saw me.
"I'm not going to do any of those things."
"Don't lie! You're some Fae using a glamour to make me think it's Teague. They've already done it with Brody and Nan. Do you really expect me to keep falling for it?"
Somehow, I feel like even if she knows someone is wearing a glamour, she'll still believe their words. I would. It would just be too painful, and if they looked like the person close to me...
"No. Mina, I'm not a glamour. I promise you, I'm very real. I'm here to get you out."
"Please. My so-called friends are all probably too busy hunting the goat man to realize I'm gone, and with my memories back."
So her mother didn't lie before. She does remember everything. "We did do that, but he told us you already had them. And then, I heard you calling out to me. It was interrupting all my thoughts."
This makes her frown. "No one here knows about that. How on earth do you know?"
"Because I'm the actual Teague." I approach slowly, as if approaching a rabid animal. She doesn't push me away though, so I look her in the eye. "I came as soon as I could. I had to get rid of the idiot Brody and the the crazy girl Nan," I'm surprised to see she doesn't yell at me for calling them that, till I realize there's probably a lot of hate for them in her brain, "at the castle first, because they wouldn't have been any help. They already cost us Ever." Again, she doesn't make any comment. They really did do a number on her, didn't they? She doesn't seem to hate me though...Which is good. I can use that to my own advantage. "I need you to trust me, alright?"
She looks suspicious. "And why should I trust you?"
"Your mother - the lovely and dislikeable Royal - thinks I'm agreeing with all this. I just had to do that so I could get in. I'm going to grab your arm, and teleport you and myself out of here. Alright? Can you trust me?"
She pauses for a few moments. "Fine."
I grab her arm gently, and then snap my fingers. The prison room disappears, and is replaced with the palace of the Fates. I glance at Mina, who looks slightly dizzy after that, and remember that wounded people can be disoriented by the poofing like that. I scoop her up, and begin walking for the library. Hopefully, she wouldn't have a rampage when she saw Brody and Nan. Hopefully. But one could never be sure.
Be careful with her. She's in a delicate state. Don't tip the scale to evil.
Brother dearest, I snort at his line, and my name for him is obviously mocking, I'm afraid the scale is already tipped in that direction.
She still has a chance though. Just...Don't ruin that for her, okay?
I shrug it off, and reach the door. They've locked it, so I decide to knock. "Brody! Nan! Let me in!"
Mina stiffens at their names. Oh, yes. This is going to be very interesting.
Hehe, let's see if Mina loses her temper with Nan and Brody! Also, along with Mina having Royal blood in her (instead of Siren), someone else has Fae blood who didn't in the books. The goat man made a reference to it, because someone didn't have all of their memories. Has anybody guessed who, and what, they are?
Remember this equation! Three reviews = the next chapter!
