CHAPTER 17

Shade opened his eyes and jerked up to a sitting position. His heart pounded like crazy inside of his chest as he frantically looked around for Phoebe, but all he saw was a big bedroom. He sat on a king size bed with white linens. The walls were painted in bright yellow and right in front of him was a big window, going from the bottom to the roof, letting through gentle sunlight. Thin, white curtains decorated the window.

To his left was an open door, and next to it, stood a wide wardrobe with glass doors. Next to the bed sat a beautiful but unfamiliar woman on a chair reading a book. When she noticed that he was awake, she gave him a surprised look, flew up from the chair, and headed for the door. She stopped in the doorway, leaning her head out.

“He is awake!” she yelled out to someone before she turned around and approached him.

“Who are you?” he asked and glared at her. “Where is Phoebe?”

If Phoebe was hurt, someone was going to regret it.

“Relax, Shade. You are among friends.”

The woman was tall with a slim figure. Her hair was light blonde and put up into a ponytail. She reminded him of a doll with her cute and innocent-looking facial features. Her green eyes radiated kindness and love, but also shyness and insecurity. And yet, something also told him that this woman was highly intellectual. He looked down at the book she had been reading. The title said: “Cyborgs and Science”.

“Who are you?” he asked again and gave her a look that said that he demanded an answer.

The woman swallowed loudly. “I am Celise. I am a friend of Phoebe's.”

When he heard Phoebe's name, his mood darkened even more. He pushed the cover aside and stood up. An image of Phoebe, lying hurt somewhere, crossed his mind. The image triggered his anger, making him tense his muscles to the point of pain. Celise's eyes went big as he approached her like a hunter approaches its prey. She gasped and took a step back. He would make the woman talk. He wouldn't hurt her, but he could use fear to make her tell him everything she knew.

“What have you done to Phoebe?” he growled.

“I haven't done anything. I'm her friend. Didn't you hear me when I said that?”

He had heard, but his rage was too great for him to care. He had no idea where he was, but he remembered what had happened before he had passed out. Nightmare, the leader of the Fighters, had leaned over him. That could only mean one thing. They had taken him. This place had to belong to the leader, and this Celise was a part of his gang. That fact that she was human didn't stop Shade from coming at her.

Running steps came from outside of the room. It made him turn his focus to the half-closed door. He clenched his knuckles. He would fight anyone who came through that door.
