Chapitre 102: I'm not Rhella

In front of me stands Sasha, her vibrant face radiates the dirty prison room.

"It's me! Good job on getting here so quickly, you didn't have a problem, did you?"

"Did I have any- are you crazy?! I hurt an innocent guy, yeah maybe I didn't like him but I didn't want to see him hurt." A stir-crazy laugh comes out in rolls.

"Hey, if you want things done sometimes you have to hurt people."

"How- how did you even get me here. There was this voice in my head- and – and someone controlling my body how did you do it?" I watch her arm as a familiar bracelet dangles around, my bracelet.

"First lesson: never give a prized possession to a Red wolf. Another thing I can do Is compel people, is that something lover boy didn't tell you." Her lips turn into a pout, Alexander was right she is bad news. I thought she would be somewhat of a good person, guess not. "Now be a good girl and let me out of here."

"No, I'm not letting you out." I say confidently. Sasha gives me a menacing look; I can tell she's never said no to.

"If you don't let me out Quinn, bad things will happen." Shivers run feverishly down my body. "Get the key and let me the fuck out of this dog cage." The veins pop through her neck.

"I- I can't."

"Fine then, I'll have to compel you." She brings my bracelet to her front while whispering into it. "Unlock the cage so I can get out." Without my consent, my hand is brought up to the cage lock, I try to fight it but there's no resolution. "Good girl." She smiles.

In what seems like a flash, Sasha is standing in front of me. It's weird to see her so close, I've been used to the distance. "Ah it's nice to be out. See you later Clint." She gives him a salute and proceeds out the door. The alarm in the prison starts to wail, in a matter of seconds people will be down here.

"Where will you go?" I ask, scared of what will happen next.

"Uh back to my Kingdom to come back and kill you all for trapping me." The words come out nonchalantly.

"You can't." I boaster out.

"But I can." In a matter of seconds were outside in the backyard. Guards surround us, ready to pounce at any moment. "You think I should kill them?" She points to the many guards.

"What- no are you crazy!"

"I kind of am." In the blink of an eye, the five guards surrounding us end up dead. The blood of the innocent lays all over her body. A fearful smile creeps up on her face, while mines droops in sadness for the lost lives.

"Why would you do that?"

"Because I felt like it, also to send a message." She steps closer to me. "No one messes with the Red Wolf's daughter." Her bloody hands grip on my face, her lips plant firmly on my forehead. "You were immense help to me, everything I told you was true. They are keeping you from your destiny, they don't want to see you shine. Kad se želite probuditi, možete me pronaći tamo gdje sunce zalazi. That means 'when you want to wake up meet me where the sun sets.'"

"I thought we were friend?" I say in a small voice, but she catches it.

"Friends are for the weak." Suddenly she's gone, leaving me surrounded by dead bodies. Behind me I hear footsteps coming closer, I can hear them halt behind me.

"What the hell did you do?" I hear Alexander spit out behind me; horror decorates his face.

"Nothing I-"

"My father was right; you are just like Rhella." He whispers. I never have seen him look at me like that, with a look of disgust and betrayal. I look down at my hands in fear, he thinks I'm capable of doing something like this, does he even know me?

I looked at him with such dismay on my face, he said that I was just like Rhella. The blood on my face begins to trickle down, it seeps into my mouth. The magnetic tang swirls around, making me sick to my stomach.

“You- you think I would do something like this. That I’m capable of murder!” Anger seeps through my pores, I see this face change to almost regret.

“No, not you but your powers yes.” said Alexander.

“So, you admit.”

“Admit what?”

“That I have powers, something you kept from me. Yeah, Sasha may be a bad person but at least she kept it real with me. For weeks I’ve been trying to decipher those visions, understand what they meant and you knew the whole time!” Now the anger is bursting straight out of my pores. He doesn’t have any right to say anything.

“I did it for your protection.” He says in a low voice, he stands in a position that would make it easy for him to pounce on me at any moment, few seconds later some guards stand behind him, he holds his hand up for them to stop. Their hands lie firmly on their weapons.

“My protection?! I don’t need protecting I need to be told the truth, and they don’t need to be here.” I spat out pointing to the unnecessary men behind him. “My powers aren’t in yet.”

Around the corner a woman comes over. She hands Alexander an item that I can’t make out. He stands with the item in hand for a few seconds, whatever it is make his stomach turn upside down. His hand opens up, the once mysterious gift becomes known to the world.

“Quinneth what is this.” He says through his teeth. My lotus bracelet that once belonged to Sasha for half a day dangles in the sunlight. My eyes droop down low, damn it I didn’t think anyone would find it. The once anger I had startles to flicker off with the cool winds.

“It’s mine.” I answered.

“What was it doing down in the prison cell with Sasha?” His eyes squint at me, trying to read my every expression. I control it thoroughly, not letting him in.

“I gave to her when I went to go see her.” His face squishes up at me. “Don’t look at me like that.”

“Like what?”

“Like you are just disgusted with me. I went to go see her because she’s the only one that could and would answer my questions.”

“I am disgusted with you quite frankly. I can’t believe you were so dumb to go down there with her, who by away if you didn’t know is the daughter of the King that wants to kill everyone in Nygaard. She’s playing you Quinn; she wants you to wake up the first power to take over the Kingdom of Nygaard from his brother the King Adalwolf.” Realization comes over my face. “Yeah, Quinn she’s that daughter and he’s the middle brother, the one that married the woman his father didn’t approve of. He also wants his older brother Vet Khan dead and his daughter Katana.” He furthers on.

“I- I didn’t know all that.”

“You know why you didn’t. Because I didn’t want you to know, to know all the drama that went on here and I most importantly didn’t want you conversating with a murder Quinneth. I do all of this to protect YOU!” Veins pop from his neck, as his hands ball up in fury. “Oh, and if you want to know more, Lyle your friend at the tribune is Kai Khan, Katana’s brother. Also, Katana and Kai are Sasha’s cousins, who they also wants dead for betraying them years ago."

“Well, if you would have told me all of this, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Its guys like you that keeps things way from the girl, and then when she goes and gets it herself the guy is instantly mad. You can’t get mad at me for trying to find out my origin, I have an immense power inside of me that I never knew, and hell no one is going to make me feel bad for wanting to look into it.” I step over the dead bodies and stride over to him; we stand face to face my breath hitting his chest while his hits the top of my head.

I strain my neck up at him, ours eyes finally connect. “I’m leaving, don’t follow me.” I snatch the bracelet from his hand while walking over to my car. His eyes burry deep in my back, I would love to rip them out of his head and stomp on them.
