Anger

As I turned around a corner, I ran into someone and the force knocked me down. My head had bumped into something soft and bouncy, so I looked up and saw Theresa staring down at me coldly. She pursed her lips for a second and asked, "What are you doing here on your own?"

"Wha..?"

"How did you escape your room?"

"Escape? But...?"

Before I could defend myself she grabbed the front of my shirt and pulled me to my feet. Then she bent down and wrapped her arms around my legs. She lifted me up and placed me on her shoulder.

"What are you doing?"

Without another word she started walking back the way she had come. Since I knew struggling was useless, I decided to lie on her shoulder silently. I saw people staring at us as Theresa carried me but I ignored them the best I could.

After a minute of walking, Theresa finally stopped. I was glad for this humiliating ride to be finally over. Theresa opened the door which I could only assume was my confinement room. She carried me in and finally placed me down on the bed.

"Now… tell me how you escaped from this room and what you were trying to do"

"I …. I …" As I tried to think of how to explain what had happened, I got more and more angry. So instead of defending myself like I would normally do, I did something else entirely.

"I broke open the lock and tried to run away. I wanted to get out of this place where I am being locked against my will for NO REASON!". My voice went higher and higher and I shouted my last words.

Seeing my fury made Theresa hesitate a little but her cold expression did not soften too much. After that, becoming even colder she answered my furious outburst.

"I see. I think I will be taking you to the dungeons instead of keeping you here and allowing you to escape again."

"Fine!"

My fury had not reduced even a little and what she said pissed me off even more.

Theresa grabbed my arm in a painful grip but I didn't say anything and just grit my teeth. I didn't want to show any weakness to her anymore. As she yanked me up from the end, I heard running footsteps approaching and suddenly the girl from before appeared at the door looking exhausted.

"There you are! What the hell are you doing here? Why did you vanish while I was gone for just a second! I …"

She stopped and looked at Theresa and then looked back at me. She looked at my angry expression and Theresa's grip on my hand and it finally dawned on her that something had gone wrong.

"What do you mean Sicily?" asked Theresa.

"Eh, umm… I heard knocking on the door and I saw this guy who wanted to use the restroom… so I took him there but when I was doing something else he vanished… I was looking for him… umm.."

Theresa looked at me and asked "Why did you lie to me?"

I didn't answer and just stared up at her in anger. After a few seconds, Theresa's grip on my arm finally loosened and she let me go. She continued looking down at me coldly before finally grabbing Sicily and leaving the room. She locked the room as before and left.

I sat back down on the bed abruptly and sighed. Just what was going on? Why was I confined here for no reason. How long did I have to put up with it?
