Suddenly Ruby broke away from their coupled position. This was far too much for her mind to compute. She paced towards her face then back towards her bed before turning on her heels and looking into her kidnapper’s eyes.

“You haven’t explained anything!” she cried, suddenly unable to contain her emotions. “I don’t know who you are; what you are. All I know is that… that something is telling me I know you.”

“You really don’t remember.” Kur looked up at the picture of herself and sighed. “Then again, why would you want to?”
He looked up at Ruby again and took her wrists in his hands, rubbing the sensitive areas with his thumbs as she stared at their dainty movements, unlike those of any man she had known.

“All this time we have watched you, thinking you – you were just waiting for us to help you. But maybe…”
Kur paused and looked at her chest. Ruby didn’t struggle as he gripped her wrist tighter and moved his pointed fingers to her chest.

Both their eyes widened as the room was awash with purple light.
