He leaned back, the green glow behind him coming into focus.
“I never made that mistake again.” He spread arms giving view of the large tubes with the people who floated within them. “Their perfect weapons for his lordship, he’s the only one who understood me and my vision,” he softly said in reverence as he turned, giving Oye his back.
Oye looked at the faces of the sleeping Beings within the pods. She only felt pity and horror at the sight of them. Beings lined along the wall like cases of books. Each one labeled with a number, their identity stripped and held suspended in green liquid. Some had cuts all over their bodies, while others simply looked dead.
“You, what did you do?” She demanded in horror.
He chuckled, “I tied them to higher beings and lower ones. While Clinger wasted his time trying to develop useless trash. I succeeded at giving these powerless duds power, and made them agreeable to being used. What I should have done to you, but I loved your spirit too much. The wild free creature that you were was too beautiful to kill.” He shook his head, drawing back. “That’s why I must fix it, my mistake.”
She narrowed her eyes on him, “This lordship wants you to do this? Get even with an old flame.” She demanded hoping to stall whatever he had planned. She slipped her hand behind her back, letting a blade form slowly.
He quirked a brow. “Of course not, this is personal.”
“Oye.” Quill whimpered as she moved him off her lap.
“Don’t worry,” she whispered. Moving so that she was in front of him. Her eyes focused on Nathan. “I’ll get us out.”
“If it’s me you want, then come but let him go.”
Oye had to get him to let Quill go back to the orphanage.
She didn’t care what happened to her, but she would be damned if another child went through what she had.
His smile left, and he offered her a sympathetic look. “You have little choice.”
Oye stood and simultaneously threw her blade at him, following it shortly with a spell. Her magic clashed against the barrier that covered the bars. Sparks flew causing her to wince. She hadn’t expected the illusion magic to be so strong.
Oye cursed as a vine latched onto her arm. “Let go!”
Screaming in frustration she yanked at it, but it was too late. As she struggled, more vines latched onto her. Her body was rapidly covered in vines, and the dark green ropes started to sink into the floor taking her along.
Oye couldn’t believe she was going down so easily.
“Oye!”
Quill screamed; she could barely see his white hair as her face was covered. He ran towards her; she opened her hand creating an iron wall between them.
“Stay back,” she yelled, but it was useless as only her head was above the stick blackness that surrounded her.
Stay back,she pleaded with her gaze as her eyes met Quills.I’m okay, she tried to say, forcing herself to smile.
“Oye.”
Her body was completely absorbed and the last thing she heard was Quill shouting for her.
“I didn’t think we could do it.”
Oye said as her legs swung back and forth, from where she sat atop a crate. She watched Nathan as he drew the intricate circle with chalk. He bit his bottom lip in concentration. “I tried to look summoning up at school but didn’t see anything.”
Get away from him.
He chuckled, as he lifted the chalk and turned from where he knelt to look up at her. Oye couldn’t get over how handsome he was with his forest green eyes and wispy hair. She’d never thought of herself as someone who’d fall for looks but since she’d met Nathan when she’d been wandering around old warehouses in Nashville, she’d learned to appreciate them more.
“Muggle net isn’t exactly going to help you.”
She rolled her eyes, drawing her other leg up. “Very funny, knock it off Harry Potter.”
“Don’t you think I’m more of a Tom Riddle,” he said, rising to his feet as he came to her side. Leaning in, he stared into her eyes.
