Chapter Twenty-One

Saira SwitzJefferson:

My head throbs like it suddenly took a dip in alcohol infested pools and I can barely make out the hushed voices talking on the other side of the cell.

Craning my ear while remaining in the crouched low,knees bent and my head resting against the grey cement wall,
I close my eyes to stop the pounding.

It doesn’t help.

The pounding increases.

But I hear something.

Something that catches my attention.

'Get her out now.'

'Master's orders.Can't.'

'Alright then.'

'Yeah.'says a really gruff voice.Must be the guard.

'Do me a favor will you,man?'

I listen closely but damn it,I can't hear it.

They're too quiet.

I close my eyes once again and flashes of what happened bombards me.

Seeing all of the happy children at tho programme.

Ethan appearing out of the blue.

Looking at me like he missed me,like
I meant something.

That changing into anger,something dark.

He injected me.

He injected me.

He just signed his deathnote by doing that.

I force myself to open my eyes because yes,it hurts,his betrayal is affecting me much more than I would have assumed.

Touching the spot where the camera was supposed to be on me,I look for my other gadgets that let me connect with Zoe..

Gone.

It's all gone.

They took it away.

These bastards.

I will kill them all for laying a single finger on me.And though picturing these guys' death in my hands help,it doesn’t do anything to stop the one thought crossing my mind over and over again.

What did I ever do to you,Ethan?

'Are you done overthinking?'

Dragging my eyes from the floor to what seemed like the wall but turned out to be
a very extravagant-looking man with stark black hair and green eyes.

Like my father.

It's a type of green that pulls you out of whatever thoughts you're having and makes you lose yourself in them.

And it's the same,exactly the same shade of green that my father's eyes were which stops me from cracking his wrist or snapping his neck.

It sucks.

Because it seemed I inherited Dad's eyes but never mastered the art of 'looking at people and making them think like I know all their deepest,darkest secrets with one glance but also reassuring them that I understand and won't judge'

Like sure I can make people cry in fear and make them deathly frightened by only looking at them but making them open up,
making them feel wanted and loved,understood is just not something I think I have in me.

My dad was the best.

So I grit my teeth,clench my fists and get up,
swaying with every blink and doing my best to look intimidating to this 6 ft. beautiful man with the best poker face ever.

He cocks his head and analyzes my Merida
dress,ripped on the sides and smirks,

'Do the scottish accent'.

My mouth falls open.

He laughs,a very free and booming sound
and flicks his strands plastered from his forehead and says,

'I don't want to get married.I want to stay single and let my hair flow in the wind.'

And in a scottish accent,yes.

Is this some kind of a sick joke where Pennywise is disguised as this handsome man to confuse me and eventually make me
open up to him and finally murder me after knowing all my secrets?

Nope.

One.If you know me,than you would know that I don't really open up that easily and
TWO.I WOULD ACTUALLY MURDER PENNYWISE BEFORE HE EVEN GOT THE CHANCE TO DO ANYTHING.

I sigh and look back at him with a frown,
'Who are you?'

And the King of Dunbroch smiles.

He goddamn smiles.

_____________________________________________

It's been quite some time since Mr.I will not speak but smirk only has arrived and has taken position as my personal bodyguard
and also inside the prison cell while I sit there,disgruntled with my head thrown back against the cold rough wall.

I have questioned him with the ferocity and coldness that one would have broken and told me everything that would come to mind but not him.

NOT HIM.

Alas,to my utter grievance,I see that the
king of Dunbroch is a hard nut to crack
and currently he is fixated on his phone and
is (surprise surprise) smirking again.

And he glances at me and goes,
'You know you could at least try to be civil.'

I stare at him,
'I have tried to be nothing but civil and
you still haven’t answered any of it.'

He laughs and shakes his head,clearly amused,
'Now I see why you have got Ethan whipped so bad.'

I whip my head up so fast that I think I cracked my neck,
'What did you just say?'

He smiles again and I want to claw out his
frikking green eyes with my nails.

Why is he so happy?

He throws his hands up and says,
'Stop glaring at me alright?Imma tell you now.'

'Actually,keep it to yourself.Just let me go.'

He looks out the cell and makes some crazy
gestures with his hands to the two guards outside and I frown again when I see the guards look at each other,nod and walk away.

They're gone.

Bewildered,I ask,
'Sign language?'

He looks at his phone,typing and starts talking at the same time.

'This is the lair of Ethan's one of the biggest enemy and every guards that are stationed for the mass dungeon have to go through a ritual which leaves them unable to hear anything so that they can never pass on any
information of the clave to outsiders.
Hence sign language.'

It takes me a minute to digest this but
I am not surprised,this kind of torturous rituals aren't unheard of in the underworld.

I ask,'So what's your play in here?'

Amusement dances in his eyes,
'Why,your savior of course.'

I scoff,'So you are not Ethan's sidekick?'

'More like his solo guardian,trusted advisor and best friend.Hi,I am Jeremy Planisky.'

He holds out his hand and I force a smile
of my own out and finally stand up and grab his hand and in a minute,twist his wrist behind his back.

'Get.me.out.now.'

He laughs again.

Not surprised.

And with his knee kicks,well he tried to kick me but I moved out of the way with agility.

'Look,I am not your enemy here.Ethan sent me to take you out from this place and he is coming in a minute so if you could just calm the fuck down and wait for him to arrive and bash him up for all your heart's desi–'

'Ethan's coming?'

Jeremy rolls up his sleeves and exasperatedly begins,
'Of course that's the only part you picked up from the whole monolo–'

That's when the corridor which led to my cell seems to wake up with explosions and
starts filling up with smoke.

I hear the sound of running feet,coming closer and closer and internally I brace myself for the fight when in all his glory and fame,Ethan Moretz,the trillionaire appears
out of the mist wearing a goddamn black suit and looking like royalty and here I am with my ripped Merida dress and my curly hair which I am sure looks wild and not in the good way,the completely neurotic and crazy way.

He injected me.

This piece of shit really has the nerve to come up to me looking at me like that when he is the reason why I am here.

And throw in the man sharing the cell willingly with me who's been nothing but calm with me,it's getting too much.

Jeremy leans against the wall with his hands in his pocket and his smirk easily noticeable
but his eyes give a mad glint that says
"Ooh I can't wait to see how this turns out"

Yes,nor can I.

Ethan comes close and grips the bars with both hands,never looking away from me and I am again reminded of how shockingly blue his eyes are.

So blue.

Then I remember his actions and my jaw clenches.

'Sars.'

No.

I don't wanna hear it.

His explanation or whatever.

I don't.want.to.

His actions were pretty self explanatory for me.

'Look,I can explain everything.But we need to-'

My hand shoots up to tell him to stop and
he goes quiet.

My eyes fall back to him again and I remark flatly,
'There is no we.Never was,never will be.
And if you don't get me out in the next five minutes,I kill Jeremy and then you.'

Electric blue eyes meet me and I can feel the shift in the room,the tension a living thing.

'I will make everything alright again.'

And all hell breaks loose as soon as he finishes that sentence.
