Snippet #2154991

The man carrying Viola placed her on the floor, and she slumped against the tree behind her. Her eyes moved up slowly, her eye sight going in and out of focus. She finally found his face as he spoke to her with such a hate filled, angry voice. "I'm not Kairos. And I don't need any problems from you until he finds you." Then he reached down and tied her hands together, the rope cutting into her skin as he tightened the knot. She tried pushing him away but it was useless. She tried to use her powers but, it was like they had just left her. After he was done with her hands he shoved some kind of plant in her mouth then covered her mouth and pinched her nose. It was bitter and nasty and she tried to spit it out but, he wouldn't let her and soon her lungs started to burn for air and her eyes watered so she chewed it up quickly and swallowed. When he released her she gasped for air and coughed until her breathing went back to normal.

The man dropped down beside her and she turned to him. "Who are you?" She asked her voice cracking. "And why are you doing this?" Violas eyes started to sting with tears and she wished desperately that this was all just a dream and she would wake up next to Kairos safe and sound but, as a wave of unwanted sleep washed over her she knew that this was far from a dream and just like that she was out again floating in a foggy, black, dreamless sleep.
