Chapter 58: 58: Linked

It became night abruptly, leaving the room in absolute darkness, in blue-black dark.

The howling of wolves made me aware of the moon, it was out but not too big and bright today.

'Why didn't I just eat the food, ELENA' I thought in a scolding manner, regretting my reaction towards Derek when he offered to feed me.

My stomach made a grumbling sound as I bent over to hold it with my laps and forearm.

'Oh no, I'm starving...no one is around... Alice... Elena, you obstinate fellow' I thought motionlessly counting the ceiling, with a pale face.

I felt snared and helpless, breathing heavily as I repeatedly tried to free myself and eventually fail.

"Anyone..." I voiced, not really willing to be heard, having a rethink if anyone's help would be necessary...I wanted to save myself.

I tried again with a rush, in attempt of jerking myself off bed but the bed shock violently instead.

There was a flash of hope in me, I smirked, relaxing back alittle like a fairly tale princess...my powers must have been revived.

Thoughts of Derek flooded my head as I tightened my hand to endure the pain I was going through, it's not going to be real life with him.

I listened to louder howl of the wolves, tightening the line of my lips and closing my eyes, little tear drop roll the right side of my left eye.

While I wallow on my bed uneasily, the door opened slowly, making all the thought of my starvation got erased from my head at a spot.

Seth slowly walked into the room, he looks calm and sneaky, he closed the door behind him also having a medium sized tray on his hand.

"Shhh...stay calm" he ordered softly, placing an index finger on his lips in order to keep me calm and silent, and switched on the room bulb.

My heart raced, not sure of what was going to happen next, I know one thing for sure that Seth doesn't like me.

"Rex has been bothered about you.. but eat something first" he announced, raising the tray up to his chin height.

I smiled inwardly on hearing Rex's name but I decided to be calm for the main time, to figure out his plan.

He moved closer and placed the tray on a little table close to the bed, turning his gaze to examine my bruised ankles and wrist from the tight tie of the cord.

"Derek knows I'm here, and he trusts me" he assured calmly, my questioning eyes lowered the tension in it as I took my gaze off him and then towards the tray he had brought in with him.

He remained silent as he watched me in a transfixed manner, I gestured my head towards my hands and legs and he took a deep breath, using his hand to direct the air in and out of his nose.

"Promise me you won't run away once I untie you" he pleaded with his index finger pointing at me, I remained mute, and I nodded slowly in agreement.

"Why are you playing the double gamer Seth?" My voice came out softer than I had expected, my throat dried and my stomach empty.

"Someone needed to make things right" he started loosing me free as I watched in silence, waiting patiently to eat something.

Seth seems like a two edged sword to me in the middle of the two brothers, he can be good and also bad.

'How impressive' I thought, having my gaze fixed on him permanently.

I smiled dryly immediately he put the cord aside and carefully handed the tray over to me.

It was pasta and sauce with meatballs over it, my heart gladdened and I flashed him a bright smile this time.

I digged in without hesitation or suspicion of being poisoned, the food tasted really good....and if there was poison in it, I would be dieing happily after eating.

"You like?" He asked tenderly and I nodded repeatedly while stuffing my mouth with pasta and meatballs.

"It seemed like I know that witch, Vee" I uttered cleaning the sides of my mouth with a little piece of tissue he handed me, squashed it and gently returned it to him.

"That girl is something else, she  cloaked herself with the kids while she was did the spell" Seth chuckled softly as he explained, describing with his hands what the cloak must have looked like on them.

I smiled, eating and watching his demonstration in silence, and also trying hard to figure out how I have met with Vee before.

Seth came closer to check the wound between my back and neck, he looks pale after checking it, it's clear by his face that I wasn't healing.

"Am I going be turn into a beast like you guys?" I impatiently asked out of curiosity, he frowned jokingly and looked away.

Seth gave out a loud laugh at this, micknicking my facial expression, and I rolled my eyes hardly and groaned.

"You won't be becoming a beast like me or any one else present in this pack" he stated with a smirk on his face and took the tray of empty plate away from me.

" This had only linked you to Derek, he can hear your mind, anything you think, anytime and anywhere" he concluded innocently, tightening his lips and stayed silent.

My head couldn't contain the amount of memories and thoughts that flooded in at once, recalling Rex's warning not to allow Derek do such to me.

'So I'm not just bitten, I'm now linked with that dirty mind of his' I thought pathetically for myself, looking at Seth for him to say or do something but he shrugged instead.

"What height of cruelty is  that, as well annoying!" I yelled, Pissed off, as I crossed my slim hands over my chest and frowned.

"Have you seen the traveler yet?" I questioned, willing to help if he haven't found Rowena yet.

'I will definitely get hold of Rowena and kill her!' I thought looking at the closed door from behind Seth who remained quiet.

Derek would definitely get to hear that from me since he's now going to be enjoying all my evil thinking towards him too.

"The person you were asked to find is my last maid, Rowena" I angrily made mention, feeling slightly agitated and offended.

Seth's eyebrows went up high and his ear shifting back alittle and his eyes widened, surprised of what he just heard, he gasped and placed his left hand on his mouth.

"Rowena...you mean Rowena is a traveler....but how?" He asked in state of confusion and surprise.

"I perceive that she would still be alive, get her to me...ALIVE" I snapped angrier, not sure of what I would do when I get to meet her,

Seth struggled with the my sudden order, he seems to be uncomfortable with it.

" No, no, don't ask me of that...I can't" he half shouted, looking red from sudden anger as he stood up and sat back slowly again, shaking his head.

I leaned forward and touched his both hands softly, focusing my mind into his, with my eyes closed but I found nothing other than the aftermath of having your eye closed.

My powers were back but this shows that it wasn't fully back, I removed my hand slowly from his, looking mean.

"Why do you think I was going to do that, just don't ask me for something like the, Derek is going to kill me" he voiced insecurely, staring at me coldly.

" You would do that for me because I'm your Luna and you want to make  happy" I said calmly, more coldly while I stared directly into his eyes.

Having a close look at me, Seth got into a robot-kind of mood as he repeatedly what I have said and nodded slighty without blinking neither breathing.

"Going to do it because you are my Luna and I want to make you happy" he repeated, nodding slowly like he was being hypnotized by someone or something.

"Ahh...I don't want to risk it, for Derek to suspect me and come over me to see why I had come late" he panicked, snapping out of the hypnosis and took the tray of empty plates.

My face darkened on hearing Derek's name, my eyes narrowed at him, thinking of what to do to Rowena immediately I see her.

"Thanks for the food Seth" I said smiling, waiting for his response which eventually came some seconds after he must have got my appreciation processed in his head.

"Sure Elena, anytime" he replied, giving me a small smile, his voice calm and alittle bit hoarsely.

He  nodded slightly without saying more words before hurrying away out of the room to whereever he must had come from.

"That is just it Seth, you would have to do it....just like that" I thought, smiling to myself as I chuckled softly raising my chin up slowly.

I was too tired to dance but felt the need to do so as I carefully striped and entered my bathroom.

'This is it then, I would make use of my Luna tactic to get what I want you to do for me Seth' my eyes slowly went towards the closed door again.

My mind stopped as I stepped into the bathtub, remembering Alice and how she does this little things for me, no one is present to prepare me food and make bathing water for me.

'I would need a new one them' I thought, thinking of Rowena and wondering where she might be at the moment as I turned on the shower and sat in silence.

The water rushed out on my face while I thought more about my life and Rex's.

It was still surprising how Seth doesn't really hate me but just tends to act apart around Derek.

'Derek, how smart of you to do so' I thought with a smirk on my face, recalling Seth's words of being linked with Derek's mind.
