In a room filled with computers and other gadgets which made it look like one from a sci-fi movie,some men dressed in black suits were observing the three women via the cameras installed in the room.
Immediately the three captives managed to free themselves,they were about to stop them from trying to escape, but when they started to interact with each other and converse, they decided not to do anything and rather listen to the conversation they had in the hopes of getting more info from them.
But something didn't seem right to them...
The one with the mark didn't seem to know anything about what was going on...which is strange.
She didn't even seem to know the other two.
Surely it was all an act because they maybe found out that they were being watched,right?
But it genuinely seemed like she didn't know them or anything about
Raiden. But it doesn't make sense;how could she not know him yet have that mark,and at exactly the same place?
It's not possible they captured the wrong person... could it?
Or did they really make an honest mistake?
No that's not possible, it's probably all an act. No one apart from Raiden had that mark and if someone did,then the person must be linked to him somehow.
The sound of a door opening disrupted the silence in the room and they all turned back to see who it was.
A tall man with bottle green eyes dressed in a blue black suit stood next to the door,his face carrying an indifferent expression.
There were two more men behind him.
"Good morning Master Zilan,"they all said in unison as they bowed halfway to the green eyed man in front of them.
As usual he didn't reply and just gave a slight nod,his expression remaining indifferent.
His gaze shifted from them to the computer displaying the three women on screen.
"You unbound them?Why are they untied?"He asked as he raised a brow.
"No master,we did nothing. They managed to free themselves. We decided to leave them be and listen to what they're discussing instead,"one of the men replied.
Zilan glanced at the computer again.
"Weren't they only two yesterday? Who's the third one?"
"Well yesternight after the attack,we decided to patrol around the place we found the first two,then we spotted the third one and decided to follow her...but then we noticed the Artian mark on her neck and guessed that she was probably also sent by Raiden..so we captured her before she could do anything."
Now Zilan's eyes peaked with interest at what he heard.
"The same mark as Raiden?"he said as he took a closer look at the screen displaying the women.
"Interesting...",
"You two,come with me...the rest of you, continue to keep watch..,"Zilan said as he exited the room,with the two he called trailing behind him.

"Ok so if I understand you correctly, you both were sent here by this Lord Raiden guy but something went wrong and you ended up here. And I am here because I and this Raiden person have the same mark,so I was mistaken as someone who also works for him, correct?"
"Yes". Elana nodded and said.
"Well okay since all this is just a misunderstanding then I'm sure if I just explain to them that they had me confused with someone else they'll understand and let me go right?"
"I don't think so." This time it was Xyra who answered me.
"Well we shouldn't just sit here and talk, shouldn't we be planning on how to get out of here?"
I was getting tired of talking about misunderstandings. I'd rather talk about how to escape from here.
"I already told you... it's impossible to escape from here... there's nothing we can do."
I actually can't believe these two have already accepted their fate...
Are they really not going to do anything?
"So you're just giving up? Wow"
"No. We're facing reality...and accepting it."
"Fine then, you guys can remain here if you want. I'm finding a way out! You can join me if you change your mind."
I was about to stand up,when Elana and Xyra both stood up suddenly...and the expression on their faces...They looked...scared?
"What's wrong?"I asked, standing up as well.
"Hey Xyra did you hear..."
"Yeah... footsteps; someone's coming."
"Wait what... who's coming? I don't hear anything."
Seconds later, the door opened,and two men in black suits greeted our eyes.
Ok this isn't bad... Maybe I could explain to them that all this is a misunderstanding and...Oh my God they had guns.I stopped approaching them when I realized the weapon in their hands.
'Seriously Arie,what kind of crap have you gotten yourself into?Can't you go just one day without being in trouble?' I said in my head as I sighed.
Well I don't think talking and explaining myself is going to work...but what now?...What else am I supposed to do?
Elana and Xyra switched to a fighting stance when the men in black suits came closer to us,and when they didn't stop walking towards us,they launched at the men and tried to attack them but that didn't work,and in no time they overpowered them and managed to tie up their hands so they couldn't do anything...
I couldn't believe I just stood there and watched instead of doing something.
But actually my ankle hasn't healed yet and my head still aches...so I wander how I'm supposed to fight them off...but I will do that if the need arises.
In order not to get involved I took a step back,then another,but... one of them turned to look at me,and he started to walk towards me.
Ok so I guess I'll be using my fists to talk..that is if this person gets too close to me.
"Tie her up too,and use the blindfold afterwards,"the one holding Xyra and Elana said to the one approaching me...
"Look this is all a misunderstanding . I'm not supposed to be here. You've mistaken me for someone else. Please let me go. "
I tried to reason...and if that doesn't work, maybe then I'll have to fight my way out.
But the person didn't stop,he kept coming with a rope and blindfold in his hand,and when he was too close for my comfort, I raised my fist and aimed it his face but he was quick and managed to dodge fast,and my fist only grazed his ear...and before I could do anything else he already held my hands behind me and then tied me up...it all happened so fast I didn't even get the chance to protest or fight him off. Then, he put the blindfold over my eyes.
Great!Just great! I freed myself earlier only to get tied up again.
I heard more footsteps heading towards us...and then suddenly I felt a strong presence in the room.
The temperature seemed to have dropped when this person entered...it felt cold yet...yet hot at the same time.
Almost like an...an...Icy Hell.
Whoever this person is,his chilling aura gave off mysterious vibes...and I subconsciously gulped.
