❤️ My Hostage (Part 21) ❤️
"If you are great as you call yourself you wouldn't be hiding in the shadows," Phoenix said from within her prison. "Do your work yourself and stop hiding and face them man to man. That is if Dean hadn't killed you because if it is Storm, you won't survive the second hit. You have no idea why he is called Storm."
"You once said that to me a long time ago and it's sad because you have forgotten who you are talking to. I will come out of my shadows when I want to, Phoenix, and this little speech of yours won't change my mind," the mysterious unknown man said. "And to be frank with you, I hope Storm survived Dean. I can't wait for him to really meet me. Will he be shocked, surprised, confused when we meet is what I am dying to find out." he added. "I am still recovering and will soon be myself and you know what that means. I can't wait to find out how I will break each and every bone that Storm has. I will kill him very slowly and you know vividly that I keep to my words."
"You won't succeed." Phoenix grasped out and started coughing rapidly. More blood spurts out of her mouth as she coughed.
"I would have loved to wringle my hands around your neck and kill you once and for all but I won't. A promise is a promise Phoenix and even though you tempt me to kill you, I still won't. I will kill your son in your presence before I kill you. Anyway, you must be hungry, don't worry I won't starve you to death I am not that heartless, I will send someone to bring your food to you. Be counting your days Phoenix because soon I will have your son head under my feet and laugh at you, all your hard work of protecting him will be gone with the wind." The mysterious man promised and left his lair.
Phoenix stopped coughing as soon as he left, taking a deep breath. As the years went by and she was still being the prisoner of him, she was growing weak and he knew it. He knew she was no longer the old Phoenix, if not the cell won't hold her. He has done something to her to make her weak that she was sure but she wouldn't give up yet until she has seen Storm.

Dean Palace:
Dean was seen pacing around in his room. There is something definitely wrong with him, but he couldn't point it out. He entered his bathroom and quickly took a bath, came out and got dressed before leaving his room. Ignoring the greetings sent in his way, he entered the building that holds Adaoh and entered the prison Adaoh was in.
"I can see you are troubled Dean," Adaoh said, like Dean, she had just finished taking her bath and had just finished wearing her clothes before he barged in. She sat down on her bed and began to read one of her books.
"You guess right Adaoh, I want to know what is wrong with me," Dean said as he began pacing around the room. "Yesterday I remembered someone entering my room. I could feel whoever it was but couldn't open my eyes. It was as if I was being controlled to sleep." he added.
"I sense no presence yesterday Dean, maybe you are-"
Cutting her off abruptly. "I know the words you want to say Adaoh but if I were you I would not use it. I know what I am saying and I am not imagining things. Who is doing this to me Adaoh. Who is doing this!!" he yelled out the last part.
"You shouldn't yell at me Dean, I am not the cause of your problem," Adaoh said without her eyes leaving her book. "I told you, remember?"
"You told me what?" Dean's forehead was squeezed as he tried to recall what Adaoh had told him but couldn't remember anything. "You told me what, Adaoh?" he repeated himself again, clenching his teeth.
"The day you brought Kira to me for me to heal when she was little, remember our conversation Dean? Or should I remember you?" that stopped Dean in his movement as his eyes rested on Adaoh.
"I don't remember things Adaoh so please remind me again of our conversation," Dean said, folding his hands across his chest.
Closing her book and staring into Dean's eyes.
"Oh I will remember you," she said with a lopsided smile.
Flashback:
"Are you sure of this Dean? She will be bonded to you but....I see her future though it is not that clear but I saw her with someone else but not you."
"She will be bonded to me right? Let's wait until that time."
"This unknown person will cause a lot of trouble for you."
"I love trouble Adaoh," Dean said.
End of Flashback:
Dean blinked his eyes as the images of what Adaoh had shown him all began to fade away.
"So this person is the one who entered my room last night?"
"I am not sure Dean, but just like I told you years ago, this person will cause great uproar. You saved Kira no doubt but you should have let her go instead of putting on her to make her forget who she is."
"The deed has been done and there is no going back Adaoh. I will do what I did, again and again if I am giving the chance."
"Dean I don't know who it is but you should be careful," Adaoh said. "Has Kira returned from Ashland yet?"
"I haven't heard anything from her or Kando since they left here. I feel like something is wrong with them over them but Cando will go to Ashland and bring back Kira," Dean said, he missed having Kira around him, why did he even send them to Ashland in the first place? To kill his brother's children? Something he could do with a snap of his hands. What prompted him to send Kira with Kando instead of Cando is what he could not fathom.
Adaoh kept quiet and nodded her head. There is no need to tell Dean a little of what she has seen. There are a lot of things she hasn't told Dean yet, her daughter must have met the man, showed to her in her vision which face was hidden from her. Whoever that Dean must have sense must be someone new.
"Adaoh, look at me, do you sense something out of the ordinary, in me?" Dean asked.
Adaoh, who was already staring at him, narrowed her eyes. There is something but she couldn't place her hands on it. She regarded Dean slowly and then shook her head. "No, you seem fine but who knows if that is what your intruder wants us to think, maybe he or she has the upper power to hide whatever he or she must have done to you."
"If it was Sarah she would have known what is going on by now but you....I don't know why you are powerless and not doing your job." Dean glared.
"Powerless? Not doing my job? I have been imprisoned for how long Dean yet you make no move in freeing me. Even if I have the answers to your questions, I wouldn't even tell you," Adaoh flare up. "Do you know the only difference between Sarah and I is she has freedom and I am a prisoner. So how can a prisoner tell you what is going on when she is confined in one place?" she asked and opened up her book once again, ignoring Dean who was glaring daggers into her skull.
"So what you are trying to say is you know what is wrong with me?" Dean asked with clenched teeth.
"I do not know what is wrong with you Dean, I am only saying that even if I have a slight idea of what is wrong with you, I will keep quiet about it." Adaoh didn't bother to look at him.
"I will get to the bottom of this with or without your help Adaoh." Dean promised and angrily left the room.
Adaoh sigh out loudly once he was gone. Her mind wasn't on Dean but on Kira. She wonders if she is okay in Ashland, Kira could take care of herself. That is one thing she is thankful to Dean but then again she couldn't help but get worried about her safety. Clasping the invisible chains around her, she smiles.
'Soon, just very soon, I will be out of here.' she thought to herself.

Ashland Kingdom: (Palace)
Stepping out of his room only to see Rumi a few feet away from his room, resting her back to the wall, he hurried up to her.
Rumi glanced up when she saw Storm approaching her with a tight frown on his face, her heart skipping a bit. She is in love with him and doesn't care if he can't stand her right now. Sarah couldn't come with her, Rumi had to make sure Sarah didn't leave Emera house while she was gone. She smiled widely when Storm was within her arm reach.
"Why did you request my presence?" Storm demanded immediately.
"To see your handsome face silly, you know I dreamt of you last night and couldn't get you out of my head." Rumi replied. "How was your night?"
If possible Storm frowned deepen, he opened his mouth to reply 'None of your business the face you dreamt of wasn't me' but he happened to glance behind Rumi and saw Juno and Kando walking towards them. The look on Juno's face wasn't one to you with which means she recognized Rumi. So instead he said, surprising himself. "My night was fine and yours?"
"It was good because I dreamt of you." Rumi answers and giggles.
"Of course why won't your night be fine when I milked you dry in case you have forgotten your di.ck was buried deeply in my mouth, right Storm?" Kira spoke from behind Rumi and placed a hand on her shoulder and pulled Rumi to herself. "But he wouldn't tell you that." She let go of her shoulder and walked around her to stand beside Storm, throwing one of her arms around his waist. "Right handsome?" she asked with a smirk which was directed at Rumi.
Kando, who was leaning at the same wall with Rumi, snorted loudly and rolled his eyes even though it had a warning look which couldn't be missed by Kira. He just hoped Kira was only joking and saying all these things to make Rumi angry.
Rumi went rigid when she heard Juno voice next to her and what she was saying and when she saw
her hands around Storm's waist. She looked at Juno and then at Storm hoping to see anger in his eyes by what Juno had said and she touched him but instead she saw nothing. He was staring at Juno, like really staring at Juno which was starting to freak her out. Storm has never stared at her since he returned.
Storm couldn't tear his eyes away from Juno's face. She had called him handsome which had surprised him and at the same time made him happy somehow. He loves the feeling of her arm around him.
"He can't answer now because he is still recovering from last night," Kira said, titled up her head to throw a kiss to Storm, catching his eyes then glancing at Rumi. "So why are you here Rumi?"
"She is touching you Storm and you are not doing anything about it? I remember you telling me you don't like to be touched but you are allowing her to hold you." Rumi accused Storm. She couldn't believe that the same Storm told her he doesn't like to be touched and now he was the one doing opposite what he told her
"You heard her question Rumi, why don't you answer her," Storm said, shocking Rumi with his words.
"What? You know why I am here, Storm, you even sent some guards to me yesterday," Rumi said in disbelief.
"He knows but I don't." Kira throws and Storm notices he nodded his head.
"Seriously, I am pissed off right now and I can't believe what I am witnessing so I will just go and see my father, talk to him and get the hell out of here," Rumi said. You had better watch your back Juno. She walked past them and pushed Juno a little bit when her body touched hers.
Kira removed her arm from Storm's waist and hurried up to meet Rumi. She knew Storm would be behind her so she hurried her feet and placed a hand over Rumi when she wanted to turn the door knob which leads to Emera room.
"I remembered everything Rumi, especially when you pushed me down the hole," she whispered and smiled when she saw the shocked look on Rumi's face. "You should be the one watching you back, I survived didn't I? So your magic means nothing to me, if I can survive it then you are not as strong as you claim and also, I am now a strong fighter, even better than you." she added and saw that Storm was already closing up on them and removed her hand over Rumi.
"He is mine so whatever you think you want to do just remember Storm and I will always belong to each other," Kira said it loud enough for Storm to hear. "You won't open the door sis? Remember you are starmer." she added.
Rumi gritted her teeth and finally turned the knob which opened the door and she entered inside.
Kira was about to go in when Storm grabbed one of her arms which halts her.
"Can you explain the meaning of what you did back then, why would you share something we did in secret?" Storm asks her.
Dragging her arm out of his grip. "Don't you ever touch me," Kira said, smiling sweetly at him. "And if you had ask me this question back then you would have gotten a reply then." she added and turned to enter the room.
"What did I do wrong Juno?"
Turning around to face him again "You know what you did so stop all these pretense Storm." She entered the room without waiting for his response.
Storm stares at the empty place that Juno was and couldn't help but wonder what he did wrong. Since he didn't know, he shrugged and also entered the room, closing the door behind him.
*****
Kando chuckled when he saw Kira jogging to meet up with Rumi and how Storm had followed her almost immediately.
He started to walk past Storm room when the door opened and Gwen arms were seen grabbing hold of one of his hands and dragging him into the room.
Kando relaxes his body when he sees who it was.
"You do know that if Storm sees me in his room, it will be another problem for me Gwen," Kando said as he rested his back against the door, crossing his arms across his chest, and looking at Gwen who shrugged her shoulders.
"We didn't finish what we were discussing yesterday night. You said you flew, how?" Gwen asked.
"If you need my answer then you are going to kiss me again," Kando said with a smirk. "But--"
Gwen Interrupted him. "I can see you like kissing a lot, no problem I will kiss you."
"You haven't let me finish," Kando said, still smirking. "But you are going to kiss me in front of Morgan," he added.
"What?"
"Yes, if you want to know how I flew, then do it."
"But you know how that's impossible, Morgan likes me a lot, Kando and I don't want to betray him or make him think the names he has been calling me are true."
"And I love you a lot right from the first day I set my eyes on you, Beautiful." Kando mumbled out but Gwen heard him and blushed a little.
"I don't know if I can do it, I don't want to hurt Morgan's feelings." Gwen told him. She has to think of Morgan's feelings. "Give me time to think." She added surprising herself.
Time is no longer on our side Gwen. Kando thought but still nodded his head at Gwen. "You know where to find me when you have come up with a decision," he said to her with a genuine smile. Either way, you are leaving with me when I and Kira leave Ashland. He thought and left the room.
Gwen was shocked by Kando's statement. Can she do it? Yes to get answers from him. But what will Morgan say if he saw them kissing then what he has been calling her will be true. She was in a delima, she needs to get more information from Kando
'Or perhaps she was just dying to get a kiss from him because admit it, you want him to kiss you. You want to feel his arms around you.' a little voice in her head said.
And that realization shocked the hell out of Gwen. It was somehow true.
*****
Emera was surprised when he saw Rumi entering his room. He was out of his bed and was doing leg stretching when he saw her. He stops what he was doing and straightens up.
"Rumi is that you?" he asked. The young lady in his room looks so much like Adaoh but that's impossible, Adaoh only gave birth to twins so why this resemblance? Or is he missing something? Though Rumi's hair was as dark as Adaoh's, the same goes with Gwen but Juno, she has the same blue hair as her father's.
He could recognize Rumi and he knows she is the one standing before him. Why did she look so much like Gwen and Juno's mother? He had picked her up when she was little and didn't have time to run a background check on her. Who is Rumi to Adaoh? The only person that can answer him was Adaoh and sadly enough, she was dead.
