And we are going to get her back.
Alana...
She's waking up. A voice cut into the blackness. It was a sweet high-pitched voice. She
was concerned and I could feel her hands on my face.
Get away from her Eloise. A gruff voice told her.
No Eden, I don't want her to think she's alone. Eloise said softly.
It didn't take the edge off her voice however. I opened my eyes and sat up slowly. I was
on a grand four-poster bed and the girl Eloise was sitting beside me on the velvet bedspread.
For a split second I thought I might have been back at home in Lake Forest. The room
was the extremely large and had the same 18th century furnishings as home. The floor
lengths windows were covered with heavy drapes and hints of sunlight showed around the
sides. A grand chandelier came from the domed ceiling and provided dim lighting. I gasped at
the sight of the ornately painted ceilings, cherubs against a night sea-green sky.
The boy, Eden sat on the farthest side of the room on a chaise lounge. They both looked
about my age and also seemed to be in the limbo I was in. His skin, though pale was probably
soft to the touch and I could hear him breathing. He was tall and very handsome, though his
eyebrows were a bit too bushy and his nose slightly too wide. He glared at me with a burning
intensity.
I turned to Eloise. She smiled at me her peach lips pulled back revealing all of her teeth.
Her hair was the same dark brown as his except hers was wavier and framed her face won-
derfully. His was in disarray on top of his head.
What's your name? Eloise said. I only stared at her still in shock. We were both wearing
the exact same long sleeved high-necked flannel nightgown. Eden snickered and I realized
she was still talking to me.
Alana. I said to her. They both looked so similar. Are you twins? I asked. Eloise's mu-
sical laughter filled the room. She nodded. Why was I here? I strained to remember the
events that had led me to this room, to this bed.
I looked at the door. It was steel and gray and horribly out of place. There was no knob. It
had to be locked from the outside. Why would someone want to lock me in a room? I finally
looked her directly in her eyes. They were magenta, as were his, the same dark shade of pink
as my own.
The red man put us here didn't he? I asked, my eyes wide. I brought my knees up to my
chest. I had fought off thinking of Dresden and Allurius the moment my eyes opened. I
couldn't let the panic set in.
Eloise looked at me sympathetically. The red man? What are you four? Eden snickered,
Eloise shot him a look and put her cool hand against my face. Kascien did put us in here. We
have been here for weeks you've been here for a while but you've been sleeping, She said in
her unintentionally shrill voice.
Allurius... Dresden. I mumbled. I could feel my insides twist into knots.
Are those the one's who take care of you? Eloise asked. I nodded numbly. They sound
nice, those names. Can I see them? She asked me. Again I nodded not quite understanding
what she meant until her teeth where in my arm. I didn't make a move to stop her. What did I
care about the dizziness?
Eloise! Eden snapped not moving from where he sat. She pulled away from me with a
soft look on her face.
Aye, I've never scene such stunning creatures. She smiled sadly at me.
Tears were fighting to pour out of my eyes but I refused to cry, if I started I wouldn't stop.
Why did he lock us in here! I demanded.
He unlocks the door at night, we are free to roam the grounds then. He just doesn't want
us in the rest of the castle while the sun is in the sky, lest we kill ourselves. Eden said
gravely.
I want to go home. I said meekly. Eden only stared at me.
We haven't the strength to go very far from here, Alana. He hardly gives us any blood.
He is trying to keep us in limbo. Eloise said. She unfolded her legs from underneath her bot-
tom and slid off the bed. She went over to her brother and brushed his hair from his eyes. He
gave her a half smile before returning to his solemn demeanor.
So what, we just sit here? For what? I asked. They both shrugged at the same time.
Are there others? I asked.
There were. Eloise said, her face sad.
Did Kascien kill them?
Some yes, others were destroyed before Kascien could get to them. Eden said harshly.
I shuddered.
Be nice to her Eden. Eloise frowned down at him.
Why? I won't coddle her like her makers did. Look at her trembling like a dried leaf in the
wind. It's all she can do to keep from crying. He exclaimed.
I burst into tears. I couldn't have stopped it if I wanted to. I turned my face down into one
of the plush pillows and I curled myself around it and sobbed until I became exhausted.
Now look what you've done. She reprimanded. I felt her hand move in circles on my
back.
After a long while I was composed enough to turn my face up, but that didn't stop the pan-
ic. I'm sorry. I just miss them. I murmured.
Of course. She smiled down at me.
Don't you miss the one who made you? I arched a brow her way.
She flinched. God No. She muttered looking toward the window.
Why? I arched a brow her way again. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
