"Sure, 'Big Sis'." You respond back. "I trust you." The imp's eyes widen in shock for a moment. "What did you say?" You feel the tugging on your mind fade. "I said I trust you." You say firmly. "You wouldn't use your control to take advantage of me. You're a good person." The imp chuckles evilly, but she sounds a bit... halfhearted. "How do you know that?" You shrug. "The truth is? I can't know, but I'm sure of it. You're a gorgeous woman with a bigger heart than maybe you realize."
"So, Big Sis, what do you want me to do?" The imp is now blushing purple, hard. "Amelia." She said. "Huh?" You're confused. "First things first, call me Amelia." You're surprised but smile back at her. "Okay Amelia. I'm..." Amelia cuts you off. "I don't need to know your name. You're just some human." She spat back. "A stupid 'hero' who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. You're not going to last a week out here if you're so dumb as to trust an evil creature like me." You frown. "You shouldn't put yourself down like that."
"I am what I am. And right now what I am is annoyed." The imp girl grumbles. Before you can respond she turns away. "Now, lets get out of here. You do what I say when I say and you just might get out of all this alive." She sighs. "My home is not far from here. We'll spend the night and head to the port in the morning." You smile. "Spend the night huh?" You reach forward and stroke her cheek for a second before she slaps your hand away. "DON'T touch me." She growls.
Well, this was interesting. Last night she couldn't keep her hands off you and you could say the same, but now? She looked at you and you can see her blush again before she turns away in a huff. "Get going before I leave you behind." She snaps, turns, and walks away from you in a direction you think is toward the port. You quickly follow her through the forest for a few hours. Amelia doesn't seem to be all that interested in conversation and seems to avoid looking at you the whole way. It starts to get dark by the time she stops. "We're here." Amelia crosses her hands and you can see her doing something with her fingers. Suddenly a portal opens in the ground. "Come on." You follow her inside without hesitation. You're still not sure why you trust this imp, but it seems right to you.
As you step out of the portal you're somewhere mostly pitch black. From the light of the portal you think you're underground somewhere. As the portal closes Amelia cups her hand and a flame ignites inside it. "Cool!" You say. She doesn't comment but waves her hand around, lighting several torches and a fireplace. Now you can see better you find yourself in a cozy looking place that looks like it's hollowed out of a very large rock. The fireplace roars and crackles as the imp turns back to you. "Um... the guest room is over there." She points. "My sisters stay there... or they did when they still came to visit." Amelia grumbles.
