Out Of Time - Book 1: The Witch - Chapter 3: Trapped
#4 of Out Of Time
Kaodina finally came too in a room with no windows and only one door. The walls, floor, and ceiling where solid concrete. There was no telling how thick any of it could be. The door was a metal door, but had no handle on this side. She assumed the door, when opened, would swing into the room so as to make it harder to escape.
Her mind began to go over several spells she could use to manipulate the door. She moved her right hand to her hip to feel her belt, and was forced to realize just how bad the situation was. She quickly looked herself over and gasped. Her clothing and belt where taken by her captives. At the moment, she lay completely bare in the middle of the room.
There was no telling how long she had been here, but she knew she wasn't the first one to have been here. She could smell the blood that stained the stone, and the attempts to clean it up. The light of the room was a single lamp in one corner of the room that sat beside a television set. The screen on the television was lit, showing an empty room with a black chair.
Kaodina began to get up, but that all stopped when a sharp pain stung at her cheek, back, and abdomen. She groaned and coughed up a small bit of blue fluids, which was her blood. She assumed from her pain that the guards had taken revenge for their fallen by kicking a girl while she was down. She shook off the pain as best she could and tried once again to get to her feet. "Get up Kao. Can't die here."
Once she managed to get on her feet, sorta, she crab walked towards the television. She used that to help her stand up. This action caused her to collapse against the wall and cough up a bit more blood. "Damn." She breathed heavily, trying to catch her breath. "They did a number on me."
"You're damn right." Came a voice from the television. She narrowed her eyes as she quickly scanned the room for the camera she was undoubtedly on. When she found it, she was amazed at how well hidden it was as well as how much more advanced then the setups of this time period.
"That's right, bitch. You're being watched." The voice came again. She hoisted herself off the wall and slowly walked out to where she could see the screen. Her eyes went wide and tears started to drool down her cheeks.
What she saw was the worst thing in the world, her sister and one of her brothers bound back to back in chairs, gags in their mouths. But that didn't bother her, she knew those two could handle themselves. It was who stood by them, pointing a weapon of her own time at her sister's head. The one who assigned the five of them their missions. The human that each thought of as their father.
After a few moment to try and understand what she was seeing she screen/cried before asking with a broken voice. "Why?" She dropped to her knees then sat back. "Why are you doing this?"
"Why?" Came the reply from the elderly human. "I have been manipulating abominations throughout the timeline just to engineer this little plan of mine." He looked towards the camera on his side to look as though looking at her. "You more then the others. Ever so eager to please daddy." He lagged heavily and looked away.
Kaodina crawled closer to the screen, still torn inside over what he had said as well as what he had called her and her siblings. She lightly pats the screen with her hand. She was about to say something when she heard. "And now. All that's left is to dispose of you abominations once and for all."
