Eleni: Kiss From Death WIP

The figure looked up at Eleni, his face still shadowed by the hood over his head. Within moments, however, he had grabbed her and pushed her against the post behind her, tying her up quick and tight.
"Oh Great!" Garrett's voice was heard in Eleni's mind dripping with sarcasm as the poor girl struggled against her assailant, but to no use. She screamed, desperately crying out "Stop it!!"
There was a long pause after Eleni was securely tied to the post, then Garrett spoke again "Look Eleni, our friend is still alive...."
Well...sort of
"Wh-what?" Eleni asked, looking up and finally getting a good look at the man before her.
"Eleni....hello dear" The man said, his voice as familiar as his dead face.
"Not sure about this one." Garrett pointed out, uncertainty in his voice "He looks...bad...pun intended."
Eleni, however, cracked a small smile, suddenly becoming blind to the danger in the air. "A-Artemus!!"
Her dead mentor stood before her.
"Yes," He said quietly, looking down. "Forgive me...I am in so much pain right now"
"Artemus, please help!" Eleni begged, as if she had forgotten who had put her in danger in the first place. But it didn't matter, to her, he was nothing evil, no one dangerous. He was her savior.
Garrett however, just growled in her mind. "You dork! He put you there!" he said loudly.
"Why? You seem alright to me....I can't see very well...are you still lovely?" Artemus asked her as Garrett scowled again.
"Watcher give me strength"
Eleni smiled a little again "Artemus...it's me....I'm not a threat to you...let me go please..." She leaned forward, trying to push against the ropes in some futile hope they would break and free her.
Artemus continued to look at the ground, still not looking the child over just yet "Interesting....Everything is a threat...you, Garrett, everyone" He explained to her.
"Thanks...." Eleni could hear Garrett say in a sarcastic manor.
"I'm no threat...you know this..." Eleni told him, her face at this point wet with tears.
Reaching over, Artemus gently touched the young woman’s face. "So pretty...." He said in a hushed voice.
"...I've missed you, Artemus...please let me go..." She begged him, giving him a desperate look of fear and hope.
"I have missed many things...mostly the light..." he responded, starting to cry a little himself.
Eleni could feel discomfort suddenly start to rise again and she began struggling against the ropes holding her, a faint whimper escaped her throat.
Finally he looked at her, lifting his head slowly, revealing his face to the woman, or what was left of it. The man no longer had any eyes, but empty sockets. "shhh"
Eleni gasped at this sight, her eyes widening.
There was a soft fwoosh as Artemus again spoke to the girl. "I am sorry..." he told her, throwing a lit match at the dry straw
"Well now....traitorous bastard." Garrett sneered.
Eleni shrieked like a banshee at the sight of the fire beneath her and cried out "FATHER!!!!"
"Calm down!" Garrett told her quickly. "This is an illusion, you can't feel the fire....use your mind to fight it!"
Eleni began struggling violently, her father's words went unheard as she look desperately at the man before her again, begging for his help. "Artemus! Please help me!!" She screamed.
"Why?" Was his only retort.
Eleni tried hard to ignore the flames, trying to keep her attention only on Artemus, her mentor....her..."Y-you were my guardian! My mentor!! Why are you letting this happen to me!?"
"He's dead Eleni! This is illusion!!" Garrett tried to explain to her, but again she didn't hear it.
Artemus cave her a look of vague interest. "Really? Why can't I remember those times?"
"Geez....You were close to him weren't you?" Garrett asked Eleni. "How close...other than as a mentor? To you, what else was he?"
With tears in her eyes, Eleni spoke to Artemus again. "When I was a child...you were my...first crush..." She finally admitted. Not once did she tell a single soul about this, not when she was younger, not when he died...now was the first time this was admitted.
Another pause, then Garrett spoke. "True I suppose..."
" Really?" Artemus asked, walking toward her slowly, through the flames.
Eleni nodded, smiling through the tears. "y-yes..."
Artemus just looked at her, the flames going higher and higher with each passing moment, then he leaned in and kissed her with his chapped decayed lips.
"Ugh..." Garrett groaned, then a thought hit him. "Wait....Eleni, kiss him back!"
Eleni's eyes were already wide with surprise, a shiver ran through her body once Artemus had kissed her, and in the back of the mind she asked her father "What?!"
"This might work!" he told her, suddenly understanding the trial before her. "Do it...but you must mean it"
Eleni shut her eyes and hesitated, but that tiny voice in the back of her mind, her inner child, her past feelings for her late mentor, emerged and she soon kissed him back.
