"I take it you overcame whatever demons from your past that you had to?"

"He has done what was needed. Metaphysically his chakras are healed, but what happens in the metaphysical world doesn't always work out in the physical world."
"Wait a minute, I just went through that personal hell of sorts and it may not even do the trick? This magic crap is starting to piss me off."
Just then everything started to fade. "You're waking up, don't mention anything to them; we'll figure something out."
I woke up tied to a table; well not really tied, restrained would be a better word but the idea is the same. Lily stood next to me, wiping my forehead with a damp rag or something. When I tried to move the restraints pulled tighter around my wrists and ankles. I tried to speak and all I could muster was a hoarse whisper. Lily looked down at me and pressed her finger to my lips.
"Don't try to speak or struggle, it will only worsen the experience. You've been unconscious for four days since Vlad choked you out. We had no clue what had happened to you, so we brought you to our medical facility here and I took care of you. The girl cried out for you in her sleep several times and you for her. Why is that? According to our reports you barely know each other, you can't have a bond that deep at this point." She wiped my forehead again.
"Just because your reports thing we shouldn't have a bond of some kind you think that we don't? Sometimes reports are wrong. The bond Nikki and I share is the same as the bond you and Ashe share."
"Ashe and I share no bond. We work together and that is all."
"Then why did he do the fire trick when it looked like Vlad might hurt you and why did you kiss him when he did it?"
She blushed and dropped her head so her hair covered her face. "Ashe and I have known each other for a long time. I suppose we have grown to have feelings for each other over that time. She flipper her hair back out of her face.
"Let me guess, because of your working arrangement with Cyrus you can't act on these feelings."
Suddenly her back straightened and she reached for a needle from the table next to her. "I will not fall for your tricks. You know nothing of me; do not pretend you care." Then she plunged the needle into my arm and within seconds I felt the darkness creeping in around me.
