Elixia was taken into a room to be changed. She still felt sleepy and she made the people who had captured her to think she was in a deep sleep. As a lady help her change into a white silk gown she looked carefully around for something she can use to prick herself. She saw a fork on a tray that had food arranged on it. Gentle she picked and put it in her cloth.
After the lady was done dressing Elixia, she went out to call to call someone to take her back. Elixia use this time to get an injury or perhaps, get blood out of her body. Even if it was a little. Getting an injury for Elixia was nothing.
She brought out the fork an stabbed her thigh. She covered her mouth in pain. "This actually worked". She said as she eyes opened. The sleep had worn off. Now she was back to her conscious self.
She just has to continue pulling of the act, till she finds out who had killed Demvirous. She tore part of the cloth she wore and wrapped her stabbed thigh with it.
Soon, a huge man walked in. And Elixia shot her eyes open. He carried through the corridor. She opened her eyes slightly to take notice of her surroundings.
The man opened the entrance to where she was placed. And dropped her there. They still needed her to be sleepy so he didn't want her to bleed.
Elixia acted sleepy and melted like butter to lay down. After a while the lady who dressed came to feed her. She sat her down. And started feeding her.
"He would be here by tomorrow. So let's just wait". The lady that injected Elixia said as she walked to stand of the room that had bars as it's door.
Elixia's hair was placed to fall on her face. So they can't notice her eyes are opened. "She might not be under the influence of the drug by tomorrow". The man the carried her after she was injected said.
"Oh, Wevrimous. you worry so much. Nothing as such will happen okay?". The lady said as she tapped her his shoulder and left. After she saw Elixia was still in the state she left her.
"I advise Ishita. That you give her another dose of medicine again". Wevrimous said. "Okay. I will give it to you to inject her instead. How about that?". Ishita said. "That will be great". He replied. "Then come with me". She said and he followed without protesting.
She took him into a room and drew out a content in a bottle into an injection. She handed it to him. "Inject this into her body now. Hurry". She said and he ran to where she was.
He opened the cell and walked in. Holding up the injection. Elixia held unto the fork tighter. As he kneeled to inject her she stabbed his neck then took the injection he held and pressed the whole content into his injured neck. The man got up holding his neck. He gave off a terrific stare at Elixia.
Soon, his eyes and ears started bleeding. Elixia's eyes widened at this. He started suffocating then he fell to the ground. Dead.
Astonishment hit her hard. If she had not stabbed him with it she would have been the one in this state.
"Well, well, well". Ishita clapped and walked to the front of the cell. Elixia turned to look at her. "I knew you would take the bait". She said as she stared at the Wevrimous who laid ain the floor covered in his own blood.
"I know you got the effect to wear off, that is why I gave you such a test". Ishita said with a smile. Elixia gave her a smirk. "You noticed but, you were not sure. That is why you sacrificed your closest men".
"So if I may ask, what did you inject him with?". Elixia said as she looked at the dead body and then Ishita. "Oh, that. I injected him with the liquid I got from dangerous beauty. Have you perhaps heard of it?". Ishita asked and confirmed in the negative.
"It is an unusual flower. It can kill just by getting sniffed. How much more harm would it do when the water was drawn out?". Ishita said. "You should have at least given him a less painful death". Elixia suggested.
"He was so disturbing and annoying. I just wanted to get him away from me forever". Ishita said with utmost seriousness. "I really hope you keep on killing everyone in here". Elixia said and smirked while Ishita scoffed.
This was rather unusual. Both enemies conversed like best of friends. The atmosphere surrounding them was quit terrifying but, they hide it with their conversations.
Elixia gave a daunting pose. From her left kneel to half her left lap. "You are quit interesting. And perhaps that is why he likes you". Ishita pointed out. "Agememnom and I ended a long time ago". Elixia said with an expressionless face.
"Well, I don't think so. Do you want to know who killed Demvous?". Ishita asked. "It is Demvirous". Elixia corrected. "My sincere apologies, Elixia". Ishita said as she heeded to her correction.
"You all killed him". Elixia said. "Yes but, the real killer would be who sent us". Ishita said. "So, who sent you all?". Elixia asked trying to hold in her anger and tears.
She still found it hard to believe that Demvirous was dead but, she couldn't dispute the fact that she saw it happen. Even though it was bluringly. "I'm sure you are at the peak of your curiosity. Move closer if you wish to know". Ishita said with a smirk.
She is a lady known with her jawline length of straight hair. Her hair is a shiny black. Emitting the owner's confidence through it's shine.
Elixia could sense something was up but, she dared move forward. Making it obvious that they were of the same height. She stared straight into Ishita's eyes. Showing no sign of being daunted.
"Lean forward". Ishita said to Elixia. Elixia did as she was asked of. As she made the motion to lean forward, Ishita made the motion to inject her again but, she was quick to hold her hand.
"I'm pretty tired of being pricked". Elixia said with a tiring expression on her face. She twisted Ishita's hand which the injection in it hard. "Ahhhhhh!". Ishita shouted in pain.
Elixia moved her head closer to the bars. Then Ishita got hold of it and hit it on the bars. Blood seeped out from Elixia's forehead but, Elixia held an expressionless face."You should know me better. I cause myself harm so do you think this will work?". Elixia asked as she let go off her hand and held her hair.
"Let's see if it will work on you?". Elixia and Ishita looked in horror. Elixia started hitting her head on the bars. "I would not have tried it on you but, you made my forehead bleed. The injury would leave a scar for sometime. She let go off her hair and Ishita fell on her buttocks.
Elixia walked further into the cell they placed. Ishita was weak and she couldn't do anything. She was not trained in the aspect of swords but, she did know herbs and medicines well. The blood that rushed from her was more than what rushed from the injury she had given Elixia.
"I can kill you here but, there are two things that keeps stopping me". Elixia said with her back facing Ishita. "Do you care to know?". She turned to ask.
Ishita didn't bother asking. "One, I want to know who sent you. Two, I have this feeling that we have some connection in the future". Elixia said the last sentence as she went to squat in front of Ishita.
"Of course, you might turn out to have". A voice said as someone walked in. Elixia got up as the person came to stand in front of her cell.
"Father?". Elixia was surprised to see her father, Johnbones. He helped Ishita up. "Father did you come for me?". Elixia asked with delight on her face. Ishita laughed. "Don't you get already? Johnbones sent us to have Demvirous killed and capture you". Elixia looked at Johnbones with sorrow swirling in her eyes.
"Why would he be her helping me up?". Ishita questioned. It now came dawn on Elixia. This lady walks with Johnbones. Her face and voice were starting to get familiar. She was the lady who would come to give information about the prince to Johnbones. Elixia gasped. And covered her mouth.
"Father, why did you kill Demvirous? I was courting with him". "You were courting with him till I got to find out that you secretly met Agememnom". Johnbones said.
Elixia was least fazed. "He was of no use to me. So I killed him and now will I do the same to you". He said and Ishita injected Elixia. "You are likely to pass from sleep to death". Ishita said and Elixia fell to the floor of Her vision got blurry. Her heartbeat was accelerating and her body got weaken.
