Spoiler:
“First”
chapter four
Her body shivered uncontrollably as she lay there. Her face pressed firmly against the cool floor, hoping to quell the heat in her head. He fired on me, she thought to herself. Her surprise at seeing him had been short lived, as he had pulled out a weapon and stunned her before she could react. He shot me, she thought again. She opened her eyes and instantly shut them again. The light burned into her head, increasing the thump of her headache. Her nerves flared and her limbs felt heavy.
“ He shot me” she growled through the pain. She had felt something, for barely a second when he had looked at her. But now that was gone, she was furious.
She forced herself to move, one small movement at a time until she was standing precariously. Lights danced enticingly in front of her eyes as she looked around her cell. She took a step forward only to find the strength leave her. Her body impacted the floor hard. But she was already unconscious.
She couldn’t tell how long she had lay there. Eventually she had woken. The pain had lessened as she slept. Exhausted and disheartened she lay there in self pity. The darkness fumed within her, frustrated at her inaction. She had that part of her under control now, no longer ruled by her instincts, she found herself unsure of herself. It was several moments of laying there, breathing in the dry musk of the floor, before she noticed she wasn’t alone.
He sat there calmly, observing her with patience. The expression in his eyes softened her anger at seeing him again. They looked at each other in silence for a moment.
“ I have to apologise.... for shooting you” he said quietly, she felt that he meant it. Unsure of what to say she merely nodded slightly at him. He held her attention like none of the other wraith she had seen had. Something in him was different, his voice was unlike theirs, less hostile and frightening. Even his appearance seemed not entirely like the others. He’s... more like me, she thought, slightly excited.
“ I didn’t expect you to react so badly to being stunned” he said carefully in his quiet tone, a hint of sadness in his voice.
She had so many questions, and yet all she could do was look at him. Her mind looking for something appropriate to say.
“The humans?...” was all she could think to ask. He sighed and looked away, after a second he tiled his head towards her.
“ You feel hunger?” he asked. The darkness jumped into her thoughts, and with it the emptiness of her stomach.
“No” she lied, looking away. Her mind was haunted with the faces of the men she had killed, their last words, their screams. She knew he was still looking at her, could almost feel his gaze on the back of her head.
“You can’t stay here” was his reply. His voice clearly showing frustration. “ They only let me stay because.....well.... because I’m still useful, but no matter how useful you are, she, she won’t tolerate your presence. Your a threat to her, in more ways than you could know.
They were once again looking at each other. She was experiencing fear, but it was unlike before, she was afraid to be parted from him. She felt an easy calmness when she was with him. They had an affinity, she was sure of it, she didn’t want to loose that.
“ What will happen to me” she asked him, her fear coming through clearly in her voice.
He stood up and looked out of the cell.
“ Don’t worry, you won’t be harmed,..... I won’t allow it. You should eat, your very weak.” He turned back to her and smiled slightly.
“No”, she replied strongly, she wouldn’t be swayed. The darkness swelled, whispering and tempting her.
“I understand” he said, looking away, she felt that he really did.” It was difficult for me too at first, still is sometimes, but you need to, to survive.”
He leant down towards her, her eyes widened as she looked in to his. He swept a fiery lock of hair from her forehead.
“I’ll bring you some human food nor now” he whispered “ It will sustain you for a while, but,...” he trailed off, as he heard footsteps in the corridor.
“ How much, how much do the others know about me?” she whispered to him.
“They know a little, I’ve managed to keep the specifics of your... DNA from them, it would be far too dangerous for you if they knew.”
She sighed inwardly, the feeling of rejection settled in her like ice. The footsteps grew nearer. He stood up again and moved towards the webbed bars on her cage. A tall wraith came in to view, faceless behind his mask. He motioned to a living panel on the wall and the bars recoiled into the wall. Her visitor went to leave, but turned to her as he did so.
“ I will bring a human for your consumption later, think about co-operating” he said mock menacing, “ By the way, “ he added, “my name is Michael”. Then he was gone, walking swiftly up the corridor and out of sight.
To be continued......
