I couldn't get through to what she had just told me. I just didn't feel it. She was Short and small. She bore no aura of a significant person. How on Earth could she be The Owner.
" I'm not sure you're getting through. I'll leave you to nap it off a little."
As soon as she finished saying that, she snapped her fingers and I fell fast asleep.
After some time, I woke up. Everything was still the same. I was in the same room and she was still sitting on her chair. but something was different with the environment this time. Anna was close to her, tired up and hanging upside down. Her face was turning red from blood flowing to her head. I just couldn't stand seeing a friend in pain as it was clearly the situation she was in.
"Let her go. She didn't do anything to you."
" Oh no I won't. If I did she would lash my head out of my body. I'm not taking the chance. Besides she can't die. Mark "shared" his immortality with her"
" wait how do you know about this?"
" Because like I said earlier Aria, I'm the god of this Labyrinth. I know and see all things; even your most secret thought."
She said as she encroached me with eyes of a sociopath.
There was brief silence for a moment but It was broken by a cry. I suddenly heard Anna struggling. She was having a seizure.
" Help her!"
"No dear leave her be."
" She needs help I demand you help her!"
I said in between tears.
" I don't want to."
"I'll do anything. Anything you ever ask just please help her. She's dying!"
"Anything?"
"Yes it's what I said now help her!"
" Then consider it done."
She snapped her fingers and that was it. I looked at Anna and she disappeared. She had fallen to the ground, still tied up though.
" I've done what you asked for. Now is time to live up to your end if the bargain."
" Yes thank you"
I said still crying.
"So what favor do you ask for.?"
" I ask that you make it two.?"
" Two what.?"
" Two favors I used my favor to ask you to give me another one."
" If I did give another, you'll have used up your first favor.?"
"Yes I know and I'm using it to ask for TWO more favors."
" Ohh I see. Okay lay it on me." I said curious as to why she asked for two. A total stranger. I did confirm one thing at that moment, She had the mindset of a child.
" I want to tell you my story."
" Okay?"
" I wasn't always like this you know. I wasn't the killer you know now. I was once a teenager. A girl with no fear I'm the world."
" Are you sure you want to do this? Waste your favor on telling me your origin. You can stop now I'll allow it."
I said, trying to dodge the story because I felt it will be long. Like Mark's story.
"No I want to. I never had anyone to talk to. I was always in here."
"But you can go out right? I mean, you ARE the god of the Labyrinth."
Anna said from where she was, still gasping for air.
"No I can't. If I could I would have left this hell a long time ago, If not for that witch!"
She said looking into space. I couldn't see what she was looking at. It was almost as if she was going to burst from all the rage I felt from her.
"Sorry. Please tell us your story. At least it'll be one favor down right."
"Okay fine by me" Anna seconded.
"My mom and dad were not from the rich but at least had enough to come around for all of us. When I was growing up as a kid I noticed utmost difference between my size and the size of other kids my age, hence my name, Charlotte. I was a playful type then. Had no care in the world until the day of Random Selection. Some group of men in suits came to my house. At first I thought it was to arrest my father but then when the came, the sat down and discussed what is about to happen and why the needed me , his child. He didn't want to believe them but rumors of aliens landing on Earth made him change his mind. In tears he gave me off to them. I wasn't sure what reason he had to give me off, not until those men explained it to me in a way I would understand.
When I arrived I saw other kids there. some tall and some short. Skinny and Fat, All sizes.
After I came I was given a suit and after that the assigned me to a pod. The were quickly doing this too to the other kids with me. The pain of being suspended in a pod full of water
as you noticed the dusk of your life right before your very eyes was as excruciating as pain can get. Shortly after, I worked up on the ground. The suit no longer there and the other kids were also in the ground. We had arrived at TRANCE. We had no idea what to do and was tasked to figure it out. The first thing to do was to move in groups. I joined the group that would later be known as the Hexian Empire. The group was led by a cruel and Hostile leader who went on to become one of the Six Seconds. She is the Hex Witch; Hexia-Jinx Sinister."
"Wait did you just say Sinister?"
I cut her short as I could have sworn I heard that name somewhere but seemed to have forgotten.
"Yes Aria. She's the one that controls this Labyrinth and put me in charge as a punishment for what I did to her. After finding out my indispense, she wanted to have fun and cursed me to be able to use my indispense at full power but it will be limited to this place. And to top it all, I can't go out of here. I'm forced to stay here as I slowly run insane."
As soon as she finished with this I could see tears roll down her eyes.
How tragic her story was!
