Chapter 3: Finally awake
Luckily around 8.53 pm that lazy bastard moved his eyelids. Pamla, the lazy smoker, was still breathing smoke. He didn't realise that the exciting moment is about to come in his life.
"ah.....hhh..hmm." the man groaned a little.
Pamla looked towards him. Man was moving his limbs a bit and his eyes were open. Pamla still had the cigarette in his fingers. He threw it away and got prepared for any action from the man. He looked at the little kitchen knife in his back pocket of his pants and decided to keep it there , unless he creates a misunderstanding.
Man realised he wasn't alone. He looked towards, his right, ahead. He saw a young man standing there staring at him. He fumbled his hand a bit but realised that his wand wasn't with him. So he looked around him but still didn't find it. Then he looked back at the young man.
Pamla didn't speak first. He waited for the man to stablise with his situation first.
They both looked at each other without speaking for few seconds. Then the man spoke " who are you?" in a cold tone, while getting himself in a sitting position.
Pamla didn't answer but he pulled a cigarette from his pack and offered it to the man. Meanwhile Pamla thought inwardly ' awesome! just take it man. This is me showing goodwill'.
Andrew was a bit surprised but he didn't take the cigarette, instead he felt a bit of irritation. He asked again " last chance!".
Pamla knew that the man is a little cold of a person, so he lit the cigarette for himself while speaking " I looked after you when you were unconscious and your stuff is with me. Name's Pamla" . He performed a little bit of salute by motioning his hand in a circular motion and nodding his head a little while still exhaling smoke.
Andrew relaxed a little when he realised that he isn't in a hostile situation. Then started thinking about his situation. Body almost healed, although tired. His wand missing, other things missing. It's night, as he looked around again. He looked towards Pamla and spoke" things" while gesturing with his hand.
Pamla didn't reply just pointed towards the next water tank. Andrew followed with his gaze and saw a polybag lying there. He motioned with his hand and..... nothing happened.
Pamla was observing the man and he " hahahaha....." laughed when watching the man gesturing towards his things.
Andrew realised that he was exhausted and his magic reserve was almost empty so he wasn't surprised that his motion resulted in nothing. He ignored the laughing and stood up to get his things. He walked and picked up his things. Starting from his wand , he first flicked it towards his robe which reverted back to the pristine condition then he put the other things in his robe pockets.
He turned to look at the young man.
Pamla spoke " I am interested. I can be of use. Think of it as investment, of which your enemies are not in the known. Give me a fucking chance". He was serious yet casual because he knew that his option is to try with calm mind instead of worrying about the outcome with a anxious heart.
Andrew mulled over his words and pointed his wand towards Pamla and " imperious". Some colourless waves were emitted from the wand and hit the target.
Pamla bent towards his side wanting to dodge while cursing in his mind' fuck..... fucking hell....' . He suddenly felt waves passing at his mind and interfering with his thoughts. He knew that imperious curse means a fucking slave. He also knew that strong will power and practice can make this curse resistant. He has read and watched Harry Potter afterall. But still being knowing and experiencing are different things.
"Struggle as you may, slave will you be mine" spoke the Andrew.
Andrew was emotionless for he was recalling what happened after he fell and thinking removing his traces of him being here.
Pamla heard what Andrew said and kind of thought internally ' as long as it's not lethal harm to me and my benefits then being a slave for the time being can be acceptable'. So he tried to pacify his mind by trying to accept the connection which the waves made with his brain.
Andrew spoke again " tell me everything after you saw me".
Pamla spoke truthfully but added few additional points such as how he was worried about him. How he helped him and so on.
It was kind of a situation where you know ' you are bound but you also know how much leeway you have within the bounds.'
Andrew was kind of surprised about how a stranger was worried for him. He felt that the young man in front of him was kind of reverencial towards him. He didn't realise anything strange.
After knowing everything he decided it was time to move on. He pointed his wand again and .....
"Stop" came the voice from the young man.
Andrew was surprised because he didn't loose his control over the imperious yet, but the young man in front of him still had some control awareness.
Then voice came again " test me" from the young man. Andrew was surprised that he was looking at a man who was resisting the imperious on the first try. He looked towards the man and tried to probe more about him but found him normal 'muggle' in every sense.
Then he recalled the words spoken by the man @ 'I am interested. I can be of use. Think of it as investment, of which your enemies are not in the known. Give me a fucking chance ',
' hmm rational and calm with strong will power' thought Andrew.
