Electra 1 How It Begin - 18 Chapter 18

“No this is just business.” George shouted back. “Let Electra go!” He finished. “Electra do you have that teleporting gem?” Vlad asked me. I had it but I didn’t say. He went in my pocket and took out the gem and teleported to Red Panthers HQ. He pushed me into a cell and left me there. He was helping me one day and hurting me the next. He would forgive me and then betray me. “I didn’t betray anyone.” He said.

“Why am I here?” I asked.

“Do you remember the day we got Cat back?” He asked me. I nodded. That day was a good day. He looked at me and said, “We are going to do that same plan to get George.” I looked at him. How could he say that? He had just moaned at George for that. And what was it with them using me as bait to get each other? He left me and I had no magic to help. He said that we would do it the next day and he took the gem. It was half way through the night and I heard someone being beaten up. It was Loki and the others. He must think that it was Vlads fault. He came down to the prison I was being held in and unlocked it. He hugged me and I hugged him back. “I’m sorry; I knew you would never go evil on us.” He said. Vlad came down and he had Tommy. “Sorry to cut the twin moment but Electra stays here.” Vlad said.

“No I make my own choice.” I shouted back. He pulled out a knife from behind his back and put it against Tommy’s neck. I had to save him. Loki was holding my arm shaking his head. “Let me help him.” I said. “You’ll end up in that same position tomorrow though.” He argued. “Would you rather lose him completely or me temporarily?” I asked. I knew I had hit him where it hurt. Everyone knew I was right and only one wanted me to act as a hero. Vlad seemed to have a way of getting what he wanted. He got me once, he got his brother into trouble and he can wind us all up. He knows what hurts us the most and he knows what we would do to stop that pain. He throw Tommy at us and as we were about to leave grabbed me again. He was evil and he knew it. I would never be like him. I remembered what Cat said at the party. I was his worse night mare and his best dream. If something happened to me, hopefully it would destroy him. I couldn’t do it though. He was helping Blades and I didn’t want to destroy that. He went upstairs and came back a few minutes later. I turned my back on him and he walked right up to the bars. He came in to the cell and tried to get close to me. I had two rings on. One gave me wings, the other was multifunctional. It had a tracker in and a knock out dart. I had to use it and escape. He took hold of my hand and turned me around so that I was facing him. I looked him in the eyes and I was scared. He was a boy I liked and he could kill me. Another boy I like would rather cut me and watch me bleed. I had really bad taste in boys. Both would hold me hostage to get the other ones attention. I was letting Vlad read my mind as I didn’t want to talk to him. “Say it.” He said. There was one thing I was holding back on. “I know you and you don’t really want your brother, you just want to wind us all up.” I said. It was true. He would never give me up willingly and he hates them. It’s all just a wind up, a bit of fun with love. “Why do you hate them so much? They are your family.” I said.

“They aren’t my family. They killed my family and they needed a spy on the dark side. It was just cover in the first three years. Then I got found out and Cat told me who I really was. They still don’t know that I know the truth. That’s why they think I betrayed them.” He replied. I didn’t know that it was a lie. I felt sorry for Vlad. He never met his real family because they killed them. He loosened his grip on my hand and I took his other hand. I wasn’t scared and I shouldn’t have been. He would never hurt me and I could never hurt him on purpose. I didn’t know what to do or say. I knew what would make him happy, hopefully. “Let’s go flying.” I said. I took of the tracker ring and smashed it. We went to the roof and jumped down. Our wings appeared and we flew high up so that the clouds were the ground. It made me feel safe and Vlad looked happy. “Do you know where your family lived?” I asked.

“I think it was Cloudaver. They were the last to escape and when they came through the task force killed them. They speared me and they gave me to a family that would never say the truth.” He replied. I had to find out why they lied and why his parents died. As princess I would have access to the files. “Don’t go looking around. You will hate what you find.” He answered. I nodded and we flew around for a while. At some point I knew I had to go back but there was one more question. “Why did you say sorry for ruining my destiny with George?” I asked.

“You and George are supposed to rule forever because he bites you. You almost die and he saves you. In that life you deny being evil and your brothers don’t make it.” He answered. I didn’t know what to think. I’m glad he changed it. I didn’t know if I wanted to be with George or not. I would rather be with Vlad. I thought we would head back to Red Panthers HQ but we went to Black Cat HQ instead. He walked through the gate with me at about 4 in the morning. He didn’t put up a fight and let them put him in prison. Flame came and got me and took me to my room. She wouldn’t let me see Vlad or say goodbye and ordered George and Jonathan with me at all times. I wasn’t aloud alone with Vlad.

I woke up around mid day and remembered what had happened. I put up a shield so no one could look into my brain. I told Flame about what happened and told a lie on most of it. I didn’t tell her how I really got him. I told her a little white lie. She believed me and I persuaded her to let me talk to Vlad. She said I could have five minutes. I went down to talk to him and opened up the cell. His cell was cut off from the others and was in its own little room. We grew wings and just hovered. We talked in our minds so no one could hear what we said. The five minutes ended quicker than I thought and he had to be put back. I wanted to get him out but that would cause suspicions. He even told me not to try. People should learn that I don’t care. If someone that I care about is in trouble then I will help them. I had the teleporting gem back and I sneaked into the cell that night. I had a way to get him out with no one being suspicious. The next day he was being interviewed. During the interview I would come in with George and stand behind him. I and George are the strongest so we would be there as protection. At some point after we are in there he would stand up and look at me; do something to wind George up and then use me to get the keys. It was a perfect plan.
