Nightmare 3

I held out my hand, hoping Elliot would be the one to hold it, but, instead, I touched a cold, metal bar. I seriously wanted to scream, but somehow, I couldn't find my voice. Would you look at that, out of all the times, he decided to link up to my brain while I was transforming into some type of animal from the looks of things. Like, come on, once again I was back in that slimy, grungy, cold-ass cell again.

Although, how come I always end up in this stupid nightmare!? I don't even know what this really is, but a nightmare sure feels right about now.Ugh why!? Especially, in a time like this where I know something has happened to my real body and that I am in the hands of Elliot, but I cannot wake up.

I looked down at my hands, and to my surprise I was still my human-self. How odd, I was sure that I had completely changed while phasing through the mirror. Unless, how this link works, I still appear to look human?

Soon enough, I hear the door open and as expected there he was. A silhouette of a tall, muscular man, with dark-brown hair, which is all just an educated guess. I wasn't too sure and well adjusted in this darkness, besides the light illuminating the far corner of this dungeon and a slit of light coming from a crack in the wall.

He let the door close slightly but made sure to have a stopper on the bottom from the door closing entirely, snd he made his way over to my cell.

How can he keep manipulating my mind and why is he targeting me? This is ruthless and not to mention, utterly, disgusting!

"Hello my darling, elegant as always, I see. Although, recently, if I am not mistaken, I detected something else about you that is new, which is intriguing. I thought you were fully like your mother, but I was wrong. You're half of your father, which is a shame, but at the same time, very interesting."

How does he know that something different about me has changed?

He began to laugh. Not a chuckle, no, more like an evil laugh you hear when bad guys in the movies would laugh, ya know?

Wait, why did he bring my parents into this? What do they have to do with anything that is happening to me?

"You knew my parents?" I questioned.

What is he going on about? Well duh! I was conceived by my mother due to them having sex and all, but something new? What does he mean by that?

"I didn't just know your mother, I loved her. She and I knew each other from our school days. Until, one day she leaves out of nowhere, with no explanation, and I find out from people we both knew, she's with another man a few years later. Which happened to be, none other than your father."

"Wait... school days? Like in the world you live in? Does that mean my father and mother were from an alternate world?" I questioned.

"Yes, my sweet. This world is called, Esperanza. Unlike, your planet that consists of Countries and States, here, there are 4 Kingdoms."

You're telling me that this isn't my mind, but his, since he said here, as in we are in the world Elliot is from!?

"If you knew my parents, how come they never mentioned you," I said smugly.

I mean, I am not wrong? My parents never told me or my sister about where they grew up.

He did not like my question apparently because, he opened my cell and yanked on the chains wrapped around my ankles.

"For your information little missy, I decided to stay away from your mother after that and was on the down-low for a long time. Perhaps they knew how powerful I became and that is why they kept things from you and your sister. Not only keeping you two from knowing the truth, but raising you both in your world. Away from here, so I couldn't sense your auras .

Do not call me missy... god, I hate it.

"Who are you? I would love to know since you are so talented at invading my brain and manipulating my dreams. or god forbid anything else? I would love to know how you even came about finding us, if my parents hid us away from you that is?" Ai asked dryly and ignoring his comment before.

He smiled; there were those pearly, sharp teeth again; as he replied,

"I don't think you should be worrying about who I am, but about the whereabouts of your sister and your doctor. I can only guess your frustration right now or do you care about them at all?"

My eyes widened I wonder if he knew all along and that's how he took her. No, that can't be because he wouldn't be going through all this trouble. Ugh, I don't know. I don't think that's the case, on the other hand, he has my sister!

I tried to lash out at him, but the chains yanked me back.

Fuck, that hurt. Is he trying to kill me?

"Where are they? You better not have laid one finger on my sister!"

"It was super easy, I had only wished that you were right alongside her, but I wondered where you had gone when my men came back with only your sister and doctor? Too bad, at least I succeeded in capturing 1 of you though." He said with a suspicious look.

He seems unaware that I was with Elliot here in this world. Thank god.

"Are you wondering how I cleverly achieved snatching your sister?" He asked with a devilish grin.

"Please. Enlighten me. You think you are so tough... if I was there, I would have taken down your henchmen."

I might not be a pro at anything, but I'm feisty and someone you don't want to mess with.

He laughed and came close to my face, and I turned my cheek, as he began kissing down my neck.

Fuck me. I wish I could wake up right now, but no, I am being controlled by this asshole.

"Well, where do I begin? Ahh, right, do you remember delivery boy?" He began with a question.

No way! I cannot believe it! Maybe, I don't want to believe it.

"Wait, no, you gotta be kidding me? Him!" I replied.

"No joke love. You see, I planned this all along and all I needed was, a well thought out diversion."

A diversion? What is he talking about?

"I am so sorry for your, poor, helpless school teacher. It was simple really. I knew you would stop because, you are super caring. So, while you were by your teacher and wondering who could have done this. 'Delivery boy was writing down your plate number."

Me? Caring? Yeah right, maybe he wouldn't say that if I shoved my fist up his-

"It was such a delicious defeat" and he grabbed my hands and back me into the wall.

"He killed my teacher? You sick, fucking bastard! Mr. Roza did nothing wrong. He had a wife and children and a career he loved. You took it all away from him." I snarled.

How did he know who my teacher was? Why wouldn't he order to capture me then? When this boy was delivering the Chinese food, he could have grabbed me then, too. Things aren't adding up and it is all very confusing.

"Delivery boy, Damon, made sure to kill your teacher, fast and painlessly. Now, you're probably wondering how we knew it was your teacher? I have been watching you for a very, long time Crystal. Yet, I got my henchmen to do everything for me. Pretending to be friends of your parents to get your school information, but wasn't easy and I do have to say, I am proud of them for their efforts. Now, yes Damon probably could have got you when he delivered the food, but I ordered him specifically, not to grab you. That he needed to be patient."

"I am speechless if you think you are some strong ass mother fucker; you're not, if you get your grunts to do all the dirty work, so, you don't grt any blood on your hands..." I snickered.

"Watch what you say around me sweetie," and he grabbed my face and bit my lip, and rubbed my blood on his thumb.

Ouch! This link is heavily connected to me then I thought. I can actually feel thing. Something, I didn't really want to find out.

"I know your weakness. It is blood, isn't it? Look Crystal! Look at your blood on me. The red oozing down my thumb."

He brought his thumb near my face, and I winced and tried to turn away from my own god-damn blood.

I am so pathetic.

Then he continued,

"When I see you again and hopefully face to face, I'll show you not to use your tongue like that towards me or there will be consequences, more worse than blood." He grinned.

"Huh? See me again-"

All of a sudden everything around me deteriorated.

All I could think to myself was, finally.
