feel like I’m going crazy.” I
said.
    “ I’m sorry, Ellie.”
    Sophia picked up the tray and the empty cup,
as she was about to leave I snatched at her dress.
    “ Please don’t leave.” I pleaded with
her.
    “ Ellie I wish I could stay but I have
orders.” she pulled away from me and exited through the door that
led to my only escape.
    I crawled back into bed with a full
stomach. It felt nice to have some decent food, not that disgusting
thing on a plate they tried to
feed me. Sophia said it would only be a few days, I could handle
that, just a few more days and I could get the hell out of
here.

    At night that was when the pain started. I
began to sweat through my clothes. I began to feel clammy and
irritable. My temperature was high then it would drop. It was like
my body didn’t know how to regulate my temperature, I just wanted
to scream. My body ached throughout. What did they put into my
body? I splashed myself with some water and tried to calm myself
down. Nothing worked. I scratched at my skin till it became sore. I
pounded on the door till my hand hurt, but no one answered. I
needed to get out. With my powers, I could bring this place down if
I needed to, but I had to suppress it. Clenching my teeth together
would take the pain away, but only for a few seconds and then it
would start up again. I climbed into bed and wrapped myself up in
the blanket, no matter how hot I was. I would beat this thing.
Waves of heat came from within my own body and sweat trickled down
my face. I brought my knees up towards my chest and sat there.
After a while of trying to suppress the pain, sleep caught up to
me. I tried to get myself into a comfy position and tried to get
some rest.

    I awoke to a piercing noise throughout the
room. My eyes scanned each of the white walls to see that there
were many slash marks made into the walls. My heart raced as I
could smell the familiar stench that brought me back to those deep
dungeons. The lingering scent beckoned me from outside the room and
as I stepped forward the door was torn away before me. A group of
leaches stood in my path but did not block it. They soon parted on
each side and out walked Barbus. He stood proud among the many
creatures that he commanded. He held out his hand and waited for me
to take it. I wanted to go back into the cell, to run away, but my
body moved forward, like I was being called to him. Closer I drew
near him until I was within arm’s reach. He pulled me into his
chest and embraced me and I could feel his strong muscles through
his clothes as his hands traveled down my back making my flesh
crawl.
    His fingers started to caress my body and
for a moment it felt good, but I didn’t want this. I should be
disgusted by him, but his breath on my neck took it all away.
Without warning he grabbed a handful of my hair and pulled my head
back exposing my throat, but I didn’t fight it. His lips traveled
from the bottom of my neck and up to my ear lobe. My cheeks flushed
with colour and my heart pounded rapidly inside my
chest.
    “ You won’t escape me.” he
said.
    His voice was strong and commanding and at
that moment I felt I could do anything for this man. Something
inside started to scream, telling me to run away, to never trust
this beast of a man. A cruel smile graced his lips and he threw me
towards the leaches like I was table scraps for the dogs. I lay on the floor while the
leaches gathered around.
    I woke myself up with a scream. Quickly, I
placed my hands over my mouth when my brain realized what I was
doing. I had blown open a small hole on the wall opposite me. I
jumped out of bed to give it a look, hoping I didn’t do too much
damage. Well at least I didn’t bring the place down.
    “ Don’t worry about that.” said a voice
behind me.
    I spun around to be greeted by Rhea who stood
in the doorway.
    “ Uh, sorry ‘bout that.” I
said.
    Rhea giggled and smiled. “I’m so glad to have
you back Ellie, and it looks like your powers are
