Chapter 101: In Her Hands
Alexandra explored around the place. She was not feeling tired or hungry and she could keep on walking as long as she doesn’t try to get out. But she couldn’t find out the boundary of that place as it extended forever.
There was nothing around here except for the vast darkness. Except for the occasional brightness from the surface whenever Maximus appears. He would have a bright smile on his face and she would hear his voice much.
In the beginning, she could hear him say her name and as days passed, she started hearing him lesser. This has started to affect her resolve lately. For those outside, they can track the days and they have others to interact with, but for her, there is nothing to hold on to.
Desolation filled her heart as she took each step on that soft, dark floor and with darkness wherever the eyes can reach. From what she calculated, a month has passed by and she has found no way to escape this place. Her mother was not answering her either.
She has been abandoned.
Like an oasis to a parched traveler, she saw brightness above. And there he was, Maximus, wearing his black and gold brocaded suit extending his hand for her. Then there was a red carpet and that was followed by songs and dances that she could hear vaguely.
[Another ball they are attending!]
She sighed and even then there was no disturbance around her. The surface darkened once more. She waved to clear out the denseness around her. But no matter what she does, nothing is changing around her.
She couldn’t bear the loneliness anymore. She screamed as hard as she could for someone to hear. For Maximus to hear.
But nothing happened.
She saw some disturbance on the surface and she saw Maximus’ face approaching closer to the surface. She has figured out already that she is seeing what her body sees. Most times she won’t see anything but whenever she could see what Wispy is seeing, Maximus would be there.
[Are you mocking me, Wispy? Are you making fun of me after stealing my man?]
