A child?? He'd referred to ME as a child. Yes...my actions were a bit...emotional...but even he would be as I was now in my position. This was all because he'd returned...it was always that man's fault. For making me feel like I'd had a heart to begin with...
And now...I couldn't even speak. I couldn't resist it or I felt as though I would come apart. Just what kind of power did the leader possess? I mean, of course he could control Triskix...but me and Lexian as well...ugh!
VERY WELL!! I WILL HOLD MY TONGUE! I thought loudly...hoping to reach his mind. RELEASE ME NOW...AND I WILL RETAIN A LEAST A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF RESPECT FOR YOU...
I'd gotten through and could feel the restraint on my voice gone. He looked at me...his shadowy face no doubt giving me a look which said "You better keep your word". Fine...
"Now then Miss Xakiah I presume? Triskix's thoughts tell me that you are. Now then I have a few questions. One, why did you not leave when the others did? Two, who created that world which you described? And Three, is Xerebus the one holding your leash?" The leader asked firmly.
We all awaited her answer. A leash...yet more collared Nobodies? Looking over at Lexian...he was still being restrained from speaking. He'd been the one to seize Triskix from falling...out of consideration for him I moved over and helped him hold our "second in command". I was angry...but this wasn't Triskix's fault.
There was one thing I would remember...Xerebus. If this was the man holding Xaikah's leash...then he was their leader.
