“How? I want proof.”
“I will show you.”
I leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek.
I felt revolted.
He touched where I kissed him.
“What was that?”
“It’s called the Kiss. It makes you much stronger. Can you feel it already? In your veins and your body? You feel like electricity.”
“Yes. Yes, I think I can. What do I do now? Fuck?”
He reached for my ankles again.
“No!” I said. “Not that.”
Never that.
“You need to use the strength I gave you,” I said. “Do something you could never do before.”
“Like what?”
“Could you destroy that wall with a headbutt before I Kissed you?”
And knock yourself unconscious in the process.
“Yes,” he said.
Really? Oh, crap.
“How about force that door open?” I said. “Get your hands in it and yank it open like tissue paper.”
He eyed the door uncertainly and pursed his lips. He got to his feet and cast me a wary glance.
I smiled back at him reassuringly.
I coiled my legs under myself to prepare to lunge forward.
If he could get it open, I could leap over him and escape.
He approached the door. It buzzed and the electronics crackled as it slid open. In a moment, it would slide shut again.
Dreth set his feet apart and grabbed the door. With an almighty heave, he forced the door open halfway.
My smile broadened.
This was it! I’m going to get out of here!
Then the door became too strong for him and it snapped shut.
Damn it!
Dreth turned to me.
“Did you see how strong you are?” I said, hedging. “Did you see how you opened it halfway before the strength I gave you wore out?”
