Hey guys! I hope you liked the last chapter! I feel like I may have rushed everything, but I couldn't wait to get to this part. Btw, I watched Snow white with the red hair and oh my freaking god, it is amazing. Unfortunately there's only 2 seasons, but it continued in the manga, so I hope they make a 3rd season. Anyways I hope you like this chapter!

I feel tears pooling in my eyes. I let them slid down my cheeks and onto the floor.

"Help….."

I begin to silently cry, hoping no one would come.

I cannot show weakness, if anyone comes. I think to myself.

Just then, the door opens behind me, creaking loudly. I hear the floorboards creak, as the person who entered the room walks towards me.

I tilt my head slightly to the side and wipe my eyes on my shoulder, hoping that whoever entered wouldn't see me crying.

Whoever it is comes to stand before me, but all I can see are their boots, not wanting to see who it is.

"So you are a friend of Deity's, aren't you?" A young masculine voice asks, putting a hand under my chin and lifting my face to his. He tilts his head side to side, seemingly inspecting my face.

This boy has spiky blue hair and wears a gray cap, with a red band around the bottom. He seems young, about 17 or 18 at most. He has a scar going down his cheek, with the scratches in the side. His t-shirt is unbuttoned at the top, and he wears a necklace with a diamond attached to the end. He has a bracelet of sorts, that hangs loosely on his wrist. He has long boots and wears jeans.

I grit my teeth, and answer with "None of your business."

He lets go, and pulls over a chair. He plants it down in front of me and sits in it. He sighs, and says "I would've been happier if we had gotten our hands on Deity, but you'll have to do for now. The name's Katashi, pleasure to meet you."

"I'm Crystal," I reply. I guess while I'm here, I could do a little investigation of my own. "What is your business with Deity?"

The boy, Katashi, shrugs. "Master wouldn't tell us why, he just said it was important."

Master?

Katashi seems to read my mind, because he says "Master is the one who tells us what to do. I'm just the tactician."

So this is the one who is rumored to be smarter than our very own First Master.

"Oh, I see," I say. "So why are you here?"

Katashi gives me a confused look. "What do you mean?"

"I mean why are you here with me. I don't think you're here just to comfort me." I answer.

Katashi chuckles. "Smart girl. I was told to extract information about Deity from you."

"What can I really say. I don't know much about him myself," I reply. "Besides, it's not like I'd sell out any of my friends for my own safety."

"Don't try to act all noble and say you'll do this because it's the right thing," Katashi says, his light expression replaced with a scowl.

"What's your reason for being evil? Why are you following this man?" I ask, not because I'm investigating him, but because I want to know.

"Put simply, I'm following him because I'm his son. The others we saved from kingdoms where they were no longer welcome," Katashi says. "Why does it matter to you?"

"I just wanted to know," I reply, trying not to sound shocked that this kids father was the master. "If I may ask, who is your father?"

"My father is the first Creation," Katashi says as if it was obvious, and I can feel my expression change.

If he was the original creation, that means he's on Deity's level. I'll never be able to defeat him, even if I manage to get out of here. Looks like I'm stuck for a while.

"Is there any way I could contact my friends?' I ask, going out on a limb. They probably won't let me, but it's worth a try.

"No, absolutely no contact," Katashi says. "The master has forbidden it."

"I thought as much," I sigh.

"Unless…" Katashi rubs his chin.

"Unless what?" I ask.

"Unless we can use this to our advantage," Katashi grins.

Katashi gets up and laughs. "Thanks for the idea. I'm gonna run it by the master and I'll be right back. Looks like you've just created a new problem for yourself."

He laughs once more, before slamming the door behind himself.

What have I gotten myself into

Suddenly it's hard to breath, and I start panicking. Come on Crystal, think. You have to find a way out of here.

I try tugging at the chains, but they won't budge. I tug so much eventually I have to stop, because my wrists start bleeding.

I look around the room, for any sharp objects.I feel the point of something dig into my finger, and I pick it up. I try to make sense of what it is, and it seems to be a loose nail.

I don't think I'll be able to do anything with this, but I need to try.

I twist myself around so I'm facing the door, and begin to saw away the chains.

After a few minutes, the door opens, and the man who kidnapped me, Arya, walks in, holding something concealed in his palm.

I drop the nail, as he walks behind me. I feel him touch my hand, and recoil slightly.

He sighs, "Relax, I'm unlocking these handcuffs."

"Why?" I ask.

"Do you want to stay like that?" Arya asks sarcastically.

"Well no, but I just wanna know why," I say.

"The master said it would be better if you had some freedom, although this room is magic proof, so don't try anything funny," Arya says.

Once he unlocks them, I pull back my hands and hide my wrists, before he can see them.

Arya walks in front of me, and holds out his hand. "Give me your hand,"

"Why?" I ask, tucking my wrists into my pockets.

"Because you're injured," Arya says. "The master will be mad if he finds out you're injured."

"Why does it matter?" I ask, holding out my hand anyways.

"Because we need you to be in good health when you see him," Arya says. "I cannot say much more. Let me give you some bandages."

Arya opens a crate sitting in the corner of the room and while he's trying to open it, I see that he's left the door open.

Now's my chance!

I get up and dash towards the door.

"Hey!" Arya yells.

I slam the door behind me to buy me more time, and continue running.

I dash through hallways and corridors looking for a way out, but I can't see anything. That's when I hear voices coming from behind a door.

"So should I schedule an appointment for her meeting with you?" A young voice asks. Katashi.

"Yes," An older voice says, probably Creation.

"What're you gonna do?" Katashi asks.

"Well, first I'm gonna try to get information about Deity, have her talk to them somehow, and I'll go from there," Creation says.

"You're gonna kill her, aren't you?" Katashi asks.

"Yes probably," Creation answers. "She knows too much."

"But-" Katashi begins.

"Are you objecting?" Creation asks.

Katashi hesitates before saying "No master,"

"Then you are dismissed."

"Very well," Katashi says, and I see the door handle start turning.

Time seems to slow in that moment, and I turn and quickly dart back the way I came from, but come face-to-face with Arya.

"Found you," Arya says, hauling me by my arm back to my cell.

He throws me in, and locks the door. "All the medicine and bandaging materials are in there," he says, pointing to the box in the corner.

He turns and walks away, leaving me by myself.

I open the box and take out the bandaging materials. I begin wrapping my wrists, and look through the box for something I can use to break out of here.

No no no, I can't die here, but I can't make the others worry about me either.

After looking through the box for a while, I find there's nothing I can use.

The door opens and Katashi walks in.

I close the box and stand up to face him. He's holding a platter with a cap and a pair of handcuffs.

"So, what's going to happen?" I ask, pretending I didn't eavesdrop

"You have an audience with the Master in a while, and you will get to see your friends, but you can only tell them what the master says," Katashi says. "And you will have to wear the handcuffs again, for safety purposes."

"I see," I say, looking out the window. "How long until I see him?"

"Only about an hour. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, this is for you," He says, holding out the platter.

I take and Katashi leaves, locking the door behind him.

I sit down and take the lid off the platter. Inside is a bowl of soup and a spoon, with a cup of water. I slowly drink the soup, while I think about what I overheard.

When is he going to kill me? What'd he mean by I know too much? I ask myself.

Maybe he means that you're the only one who's seen their faces? Malthus suggests

Possibly, but everyone saw Arya's face, so wouldn't they all be killed.

Maybe, but maybe you know more than you think. Malthus suggests.

I finish my soup, and set it aside, glancing out the window.

I lie down and go to sleep on the cold hard floor. When I wake, Katashi is standing in front of me, and holding out the handcuffs.

"I guess it's time," I say, slipping my hands into the handcuff.

How's the audience with the king going to go. I wonder. Well, now I only owe you guys one more chapter, and then you guys gotta wait a whole week to see what happens. I am a cruel human. I'll see you all next time! Bye!
