As soon as I realized Melody wasn’t with us a new feeling of panic invaded me. Those sharp hands began to appear and some moments later we were all trapped; one of the things I hated the most was to feel trapped by something so a great desperation began to flow within me as my mind tried to think of a way to get rid of whatever was attacking us. My attention changed quickly as my eyes saw Nyarth was there too fighting with all he had to escape.
Hoom…you know you are panicking and it doesn’t matter if you want it, you are not going to be able to act against the situation if you don’t calm down.
Once again, my thoughts were right and after feeling a great pain in my waist and seeing how some of my blood was split, the decision was quickly made. My eyes were closed and my mind ignored the childish voice that was talking to us.
“Now, focus in your objective…which is getting out of here as soon as possible. Are you going to be afraid? No..you wouldn’t care about anything except for your objective…you won’t feel anything…anything…” It worked and my body began to act as my mind thought about all the possibilities. Everything felt faster, easy and the feeling of panicking disappeared. Seconds later, I found myself escaping from it and making sure everyone was released.
“Think you could use your teleportation to take us away Badrak?” My voice sounded different too and my face couldn’t hide the smirk; for some reason everything felt as the old days when father took us with him to chase for our preys…we caught and sometimes killed without hesitation…
“Teleport” Badrak’s voice sounded and now we were in a new part of the mansion.
“Is he fine?” Badrak asked with a touch of nervousness in his voice
“It’s all right Nyarth, you can open your eyes now…” I said looking at him then realizing that my objective was done I rested releasing a deep sigh.
“What is happening?” Nyarth asked
“I wish we knew…for now we should be alert” Skul said
“We should try and find the others don’t you think?” Badrak asked and then I made a mistake when I said I was going to help with that. As my nose began to sniff around, the scent of others hit me, when I recognized Lux’s blood in a great amount it hit me harder…all my thoughts remained in finding the others as soon as possible but my main objective was to find my brother.
“Sorry guys but I think I’m saying good bye from here…”
“What do you mean?” Nyarth asked
“I need to find my brother…I know he is alive somewhere…”
“Then we’ll go together!” Badrak said somehow knowing my answer. My head moved in a negative way “I sensed Lupe, a new gijinka and I think Nina too near here…you continue that way; besides I can find out who else was dragged by those things and try to do something….” My eyes were full of determination and I knew Nyarth wanted to help Nina, the other reason was that Lupe was probably trying to gather everyone.
At the end they all agreed and I remained there; for a moment I thought to search for Lux but I knew Estelle was with him because of her scent; she cared for him and something told me they were going to be fine. The sound of that creepy laughter began to approach me and I let all my feelings to show, deep inside me I knew that if they noticed I was acting it was going to be worst. The hands were cold and some of them began to sink in my skin as a deep darkness approached.
Suddenly it finally stop and my body noticed the previous wounds were just and hallucination, thank life for that….A little flame was formed between my hands as my legs walked randomly.
My attention was directed to any sound that could locate me or help me locate Hon; once again I concentrated in that objective and forgot about everything else. My legs continued walking and suddenly my flame died, a cold breeze surrounded me and then the voice of a little girl arrived to my ears…
“Why are you not trembling or crying? That is not funny…” She said now appearing in front of me. I kept in silence repeating the words “objective, objective, objective” in my head
“Oh…I see, you are not afraid right?” An evil smirk appeared in her face “then…what about this?”
The background changed and now the members of my family were chasing me; at first I ran but then I thought she was just playing with my memories so my body stopped and my eyes closed. OBJECTIVE! OBJECTIVE
As fast as they appeared, they vanished. The little girl appeared again and now she seemed mad.
“I don’t want to play with you anymore…you are boring…” For a moment I thought she would leave me alone but thinking that was wrong. My body felt how it was pressured against the floor, fortunately looking to the roof (if you could call it like that)…or maybe it was unfortunately?
“We are going to play a new game” The girl’s voice sounded happy again but I wasn’t prepared. Suddenly a light from nowhere appeared illuminating some kind of bubble. There was a person or two trapped in there. As my eyes got accustomed to the light, they identify a Cherubi gijinka who I didn’t know and then Hon. My determination disappeared and the little girl noticed that. She laughed innocently
“That is better…Now let’s play” She said and as she finished, the bubble began to fill with water. My heart began beating faster and faster as the water reached the top and my eyes saw how they began to drown.
“STOP IT!!!!!!!”
“Oh…finally I can hear your voice” another evil smirk appeared on her face and I knew that what was happening was real.
“I’ll do whatever you want but please…STOP IT!!”
“Really? Anything?” I nodded and then the bubble exploded leaving Hon and the Cherubi coughing and gasping for air.
“Now then…” She suddenly got distracted and then turned to me “I have to go and find new friends to play with; for now let’s pretend you are a mermaid who is not going to be able to reach the surface” Her smile was the last thing I saw before realizing I was underwater. Those strange hands were holding my legs and my blurry sight told me that at least I wasn’t in the lake near the mansion; I couldn’t see the sky.
My amount of oxygen began to vanish and my body tried to get rid of the hands but it was in vain…
