Chereads / THE POWER OF A BERTHIM / Chapter 66 - CHAPTER 66

Chapter 66 - CHAPTER 66

We had no clock but the small window at the top of one side of a wall to know whether it was day or night . It had been three days since than and the time was indeed moving very slowly . I didn't have energy to perform any magic because I was way too tired . We weren't without water supply . I was definitely thankful for that .

It was the fourth day and it was hard to not seem cool about it . As we knew that he somehow could watch us , we didn't want to look like we would loose it every time . Nath and I made a pretty good bond and almost knew everything about each other .

Finally , after what seemed like forever , thee day seemed to come to an end . It was night time now , and the lights were out . During the three day stay in the prison room , the lights would be out by the time were were sleepy . We assumed that we would either be taken out while we were sleeping , or he would come the next day .

I was nervous , but after a while , I fell asleep . As I had expected , we were somewhere different . We were taken out of our room and were now in a room with much larger space . There was a table set beside us with a lot of food . Should I be trusting the food here again ?

I noticed a note . "I need to be alive and awake today so you can trust the food ."

I scoffed . This guy obviously loved to irritate me with written notes . I started eating as Nath hadn't woken up yet . I went to the bathroom . Having a shower after 4 straight days felt amazing , especially when the water was only temperately cold .

After having a nice bath , I went out wearing fresh sets of clothes that was already arranged and found Nath awake . He followed up and went to bathroom to freshen up as well . I found both our phones on another bedside table . The sunlight that fell on my skin from the glass balcony door felt so great , it was as if I was in a palace . I called dad as quickly as I could . It didn't ring . Fredrick had taken my SIM card out , and Nath's as well . Well , we were definitely more free than before so I was ready to tolerate this part of the treatment .

Nath came back after having a bath too and we both ate food . The food was as delicious as before , except that it had no drugs in it , and we were not waiting for an answer , but for a person .

I was relaxed because of the sunlight . The window in our previous room was way too small to fit our heads in , as well as too high for us to reach it even if we had all the objects in the room combined together to make a ladder .

We were soaked in sunlight when we were eating breakfast . We had breakfast and laid down on the bed which felt like cotton . Things fast forwarded as if a cyclone had come . The two same security guards who had sent us to Fredrick 4 days ago burst into the room and grabbed the both of us . I realised that we were not in Fredrick's house when I saw a small glimpse of the hallway . The security guards immediately covered both our eyes with a blindfold and carried one of us on each of their backs .

"Hey ! Where are we ? Tell us now !"

Even the security guards seemed to hate whatever they were doing . "How did I get into this mess ! Let's just get this over with and forget that it ever happened . "

I shouted at them , "Hello ! We aren't deaf . I can hear you , you know !" The guy who was carrying me pinched my leg and said , "Shut up and stay silent . "

It seemed like we were still in the house we were in before because I didn't smell any difference in the atmosphere . "Why is this girl lighter than before ? Did she loose that much weight when she was starved ?"

I sighed in defeat . They really didn't care if I heard or not . I was trying to listen to something other than what they were talking about when I heard sobbing coming from one area . "Please.... let me out ... I don't want to be locked up this way ... I'll do anything ..."

It must be one of the prisoners he had . I wanted to save them but I had to keep up my act as a human . I was busy battling which decision to make , when I heard it .

"aahhhhh.....ahhhhhhhhh....ahhhhhhhhh........" The same crying woman was singing ... She had a beautiful voice , but it was wavering . Suddenly , everything became silent . I realised that it was because the security guards had stopped talking. According to the turn of air , they had turned around . The woman was still singing , and I realised that the men were walking towards the room were the woman was .

What was happening ??? I fell with a thud when the guy carrying my loosened his grip on me . Something was happening and I knew that those guys weren't looking at us . I decided to use my powers and took off the rope on my hand and the blindfold . I stood in shock when I saw both the guards eyes . They were white , like they were being hypnotised . I looked inside the room and was even more shocked to find the woman , singing , with her eyes glowing as well . Was she a Siren ? Why was I not hypnotised ? She had made them open the door for her . They might've talked too loud and let her know that there were people around .

If she was the siren I was looking for , then I should be taking her away from here too . But the woman had other plans . I watched in horror when she lay her hands on both the security guards and their skins melted away . Their flesh moved and merged with the woman . The woman had a horrific face until then , but after what happened , she looked like a normal human being .
