Chp 43 : Hostage
"Help me break out of this box Jean!... Together we can save them all! We can save Elena!"
"..."
"Come on Jean! Break me out alre-"
"STOP... MISS YAEL... I-I WANT TO KNOW! I DESERVE TO KNOW... LIKE YOU SAID, I HAVE LIVED 17 YEARS WITHOUT KNOWING... AND NOW I WANT TO KNOW"
...
"That's right your royal highness... you should tell him, 'Lucas' deserves to know after all..." Damion chuckled as he approached the pair
When Yael heard that her heart instantly dropped, she didn't want Jean to know about his past... or more specifically what she did to him
"Miss Yael, what is he talking about?" Jean said staring at Yael
"..." Yael just stayed silent and looked down to avoid Jean's eyes
Everything fell into silence as Jean stared at Yael trying to understand what was going on
Jean slowly walked closer to Yael as her injured body tried to scurry away... but how could she run away from this confrontation when they were stuck in a glass box?
"Ms. Yael, I want to know... I want to remember! I don't know why you are so against telling me..." Jean said as he cornered Yael
She finally sighed and murmured "...I-if I tell you, you'll hate me for sure..."
"That's not true Ms. Yael! I know you are a good person! It's as you've said... I have known you for more than 17years! Even though I don't remember some years, you have always been a good person!"
Yael just looked into Jean's eyes as she tried to hold in her tears from trickling down her face, but before she could reply to Jean, she heard him say
"I trust you Ms. Yael!"
She couldn't hold it back anymore and burst out into tears while burrowing her face into her palms to avoid looking at Jean's face
"I DON'T WANT TO! I KNOW YOU DESERVE TO KNOW... BUT I DONT WANT TO LOSE YOU AGAIN JEAN! I CAN'T!"
[Jean : Again?]
...
"Huhuhu... It seems like she really loves 'you'..." Damion said as he walked up to them
"YOU... JUST LET US GO ALREADY, AND STOP TOYING WITH OUR EMOTIONS! IF ALL YOU WANTED TO DO WAS THIS THEN YOU SHOULDVE JUST PICKED OTHER PEOPLE" Jean yelled out
"But there is no one with a more interesting past than you two... not to mention the corrupted memory... is really strange, this is a very specific magic just lik-... oops! I almost said too much hehehe"
"YOU BASTARD!"
"Jeez... even though I said you guys were interesting isn't this going on for too long? Just tell him already!" Damion pouted
"No! Never!" Yael said as she continued to hide her face
"Fine, I was gonna kill you all painlessly if you did what I told you to... but I guess you love making it hard for your other friends... Lets see" Damion said as he looked around the rest of them, he looked at Elena, Silas, Karter and finally Siun
"Found it..." Damion whispered to himself... He was about to take Siun hostage and torture him in front of the two to make them speak
Jean quickly noticed this and ran to protect Siun
"NO DON'T, MS. ELENA WILL BE WAITING FOR HIM WHEN SHE GETS UP!" Jean said as he sprinted
But what he didn't notice was that when he said that Yael started sweating, hearing Jean say that made her relive what she did to the real Jean back then
[Yael : NO! I'M SORRY! I DIDN'T MEAN TO!] she thought as her body began to freeze up and she shivered on the ground in a pool of her sweat and tears.
Fortunately for Jean his head start was enough to get to Siun before Damion did and he managed to grab onto Siun
But when his hand touched Siun's body he again experienced a headache, worse than the one Damion gave him
[Jean : ARGGHHH-]
