Share it:       Amelia's encounter with the young man only made her laugh. Captors were supposed to be intimidating, were they not? He certainly was not.
An uncommon wave of drowsiness swept over Amelia as she stretched herself out on the bed once again. Before she slipped from unconsciousness one thought flitted into her tired brain. I should have thought before I devoured that food as I did. Now I must pay.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Once out of the room with the door securely shut and locked, Ajax rushed down the two flights of stairs to the basement.
Pause here. Yes, Ajax is the young man Amelia met previously. Now, he may have been portrayed as somewhat, shall we say, stupid before. In truth he is nothing like that. One of his skills was acting and it often came in handy in this line of business. What line of business, you ask. My answer: once again I must require you to be patient. Information such as that will be disclosed at a later time. Now, where were we? Ah, yes, Ajax was rushing down the stairs....
Once in the basement Ajax expertly found his way through a maze of corridors to the room where his father and uncle were waiting. He entered a room filled with computer. Monitors were everywhere. On of these monitors was a view of the room where Amelia was asleep on the bed. Wayne, Ajax's father, was just congratulating his brother.
"Jason, your skills of picking out exactly what our master wants have once again come through. This young woman is exactly what we need. Now all that remains is to set up a meeting with the master to meet her."
Jason took the praise with a smile and then returned to the business at hand. "Ajax, is all ready for out departure?"
The young man smiled, "Of course."
"Then the time has come to once again move Sleeping Beauty. She ate all the food, correct, Ajax?"
"It was the first detail I checked."
"Then she will be asleep for quite some time. Your father gave her a steep dose. We will have plenty of time. Go get Miss Amelia and place her in the truck.
"I am on my way."
Where are they taking her, you may question. For once I am going to provide an answer- to the country of Zimmarria. This country is currently under the reign of Queen Andammar. The queen was loved by few and hated by many. All wanted her younger brother, the rightful heir to the thrown, to become their king. Somehow, Queen Andammar was able to for-stall his "coming of age". There had been many plots to overthrow the queen, but they had all been squashed like a beetle under her sandal, but lately a new and more powerful one was rising. Copyright 2008 Gwyn |
