"Whatcha gonna do?"
Those same words he said to Kyxsha right before he shot her. He was giving me that smirk. I wanted to run over to him and slap it off his face, but I stayed where I was.
"I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do. I'm gona sit right here and wait," I said moving to the ground.
He raised an eyebrow and said, "That’s all?"
"Yes, it’s all I have to do right now. I'm waiting..."
"Well then this should be fun," he said with a sigh. "I can wait too for you to run out of energy."
We stared at each other for a few seconds without saying a word.
"Well you never answered my question," I said trying to break silence. "Who sent you?"
"If I didn't answer you before what makes you think I would now?"
"Well obviously you’re from Zero so it must be someone from there."
He didn't answer so we went back to just staring. I could feel myself getting tired and I really started praying someone would walk in. Maybe an apprentice or maybe...
"Well well well, I thought I felt an intruder."
I knew that voice. It was icy cold and the sound of it sent waves of anger and fright through me. I stood up and turned around to see the leader.
"And who might this be, Xemmsur," he said as he walked past me towards the cage.
"Ummm Caex. I'm guessing he is from Zero," I replied slowly backing towards the door. I didn't want to make a mistake here.
"Ahhhh I see. Well now Xemmsur you may go as you please. I will take it from here, but first drop your energy."
I took a few more steps towards the door and dropped my concentration. I turn and ran out of the room before Caex could do anything. I ran down the hall back towards the infirmary, not looking back, and secretly hoping that Caex could escape.
When I got into the infirmary Tamex was there along with Minx. They were both over by Kyxsha.
Tamex turned around at the sound of my entrance and rushed over to me.
"Lady Xemmsur, what happened here, how did you fix Kyxsha?"
"I.. ahhh, well there was a Zero member here and him and Kyxsha kind of got in a fight and I don't know how I healed her," I said. I was to worn out to say much more.
Tamex could see I was tired and let me go, he went back over to Kyxsha and I plopped down in one of the chairs. I closed my eyes and let my mind drift from here.
