When I wake up next I'm in the dungeon, shackled to the filthy stone wall. Pitch black darkness fills the space, ominously . My feet are free but that's no comfort since i can barely move as my body has a huge chain around my waist connected to my wrists and attached to the wall.

I've been here before.

 I realized then, that this vision i once had was coming true. Just as i feared

A moldy smell reaches my noise and i hear distant wails and moans. I try and use my powers to release myself but i get nothing, remembering the suppressant Dakkar pumped me with 

I hear the expected shuffling sound nearby and the  groan of pain

"Taron?"

Silence 

"A is that you?" A voice whispers weakly. 

A whimper escapes me as i fignhtthe tears wanting to escape. i son want to relive this painful memeory. WHy is this happening to me?

"Yes its me"

"Why are you here? Are you ok A?" he asks and then groans.

"Taron...I...I'm gonna get you out of here. Okay, just hang on a little longer" My voice cracks 

I glanced beside him dismissively. I care nothing for Murkan being here although i am curious about how he went from working for the enemy to being there captive. 

 I do recall Emil being here too; in my dream. Yet he isn't here. Did i do something that changed that? I wish i knew what. I hate the idea of all my visons coming true.

Suddenly the door is thrown open.

The light flows in blinding me for a second. The huge man from before stands there.  He steps inside his smell so foul it threatens to make me expel everything I've ever eaten. He stinks of rotting flesh and unwashed bodies.

I shiver in revulsion. He steps closer and stares at me while I grimace at him. the chains bite into me uncomfortably when  i attempt to squirm away. I try to see past him to Taron but his bulk hides everything from view.

"Are you ready to comply now?" He sneers at me. Instead of speaking I just stare defiantly. "Are you ready to comply now?" he asks again impatiently

I spit in his face which only elicits a nasty smile from him. He Turns towards Taron and i gasp in horror. Taron is laying on his side facing me. his beautiful face is bruised and marred beyond recognition and he bleeds from many open cuts and wounds, some look fatally deep.

The big guy goes toward Taron kneels near him and pulls out a sharp long knife. He goes to slice Taron and i yell in fear and outrage.

"LEAVE HIM ALONE DON'T YOU FUCKING TOUCH HIM!!!!"

He pauses and glances over at me.

"Are you ready to comply now?"

I glare hatefully. I look at Taron. hes barely moving, barely breathing. My heart aches with the thought that he might succumb to his injuries.he doesn't deserve to die in a filthy dungeon alone. I didn't even get to tell him all I've needed to say.

I fight tears. "Ok i will comply".

I don't even know what I've agreed to, but if it saves Taron there is no hesitation. The guy smiles and comes toward me. As he grabs my shackles.

**************************

I sat at the dinner table beside Dakkar; red lipstick coating my lips and a tight modest dress clinging to my curves. I tried to smile and behave amicably for him

He talked on and on about all the plans he held for us but none of it reached my ears. All i could think of was Taron and the others down in that dungeon bruised and hurting. Most of all i missed my son

Such a monster  i thought as he smiled at me

I picked at my food and suprsessed the desire to cry. I wanted to get back to my boy. Save Taron but, How?

That night i lay beside Dakkar while he slept unbothered. I  however,  lay incredibly  uncomfortable. Not only was he forcing me to share a bed with him, but he chained my hands to the bedpost so i can only sleep on my back. 

A scuffling sound outside the door alerts me immediately. Fear rushed  through me, Dakkar simply slumbers on as if  he heard nothing

The door cracks open slowly as i watch a tall slim man slip through. His steps are silent and his gaze intensely focused on me

I freeze as he nears me. Will he try to take advantage of me in this vulnerable position I'm stuck in?  Surely not with Dakkar right beside  me.

Instead I'm shocked to see him unlock my cuffs and pull me from  the bed. I don't dare speak as he continues  dragging me quickly outside the room 

The cool air prickles my skin in the flimsy nightdress i was forced to wear, but i know i cant worry about that now

The man pulls me down the corridor and i follow hoping he is leading me to freedom and not more captivity 

A commotion behind us stills the man and he pushes me ahead of him

"Go!" He points to the end of the hall. "Take a left then a right, two more lefts and finally another two rights. Then you will see the door to the outside. Go now!"

I hesitate How can i just leave Taron and whomever else he had captive here. I knew Nova was likely here too. Somewhere

"Why are you helping me?" I ask skeptically

"Your mother......I promised....."

The commotion grows louder. Closer

"GO! NOW!" He yells charging back the way we came

I wanted to ask how he knew my mother, but there was no time. I turned and hurried away. My heart pounding and my legs aching with exertion 

I try to follow his directions but somewhere along the way, between my fear and the adrenaline; i grow confused and once again end up lost

Dammit I swear this place is a maze!

I turn down hall after hall; not stopping even though my legs are pained with fatigue.  Suddenly I hear a rush of guards nearing me as i turn down yet another corridor

Thinking quickly, i duck inside a nearby room hoping to hide until the coast is clear

The room is large and opulent just as the rest of this place. I look around searching for somewhere to hide before the guards find me and drag me back to that lunatic

But the bed catches my eye.

its huge. large enough to fit 10 people at least. A figure lies peacefully asleep within it

Something unconsciously makes me step closer; The figure calling to me

I step toward the bed  staring down at the woman lying deathly still. She seems to be sleeping but the unnatural stillness of her body tells me otherwise

As i look at her face closely I realize she  looks familiar somehow

Just then a memory springs into my mind. I take in her blue hair and gasped audibly

Mom


Who saw that coming lol Aylas mother is alive 

Who can guess whats wrong with her though and how her father, that's bonded to her thought her dead?
