Memories

15. Phase two initiated

Y/n POV:

It seemed like it had been hours since Miles left to explore. I stood, pacing up and down. I started to think the worst when he still did not come back. Had he died? No... had he been captured? Maybe...

Then I heard the door scrape open. The pitch black of the room was being dosed in white light. In came the figure, his robes draping behind him. The light showing every curve of his sharp, animal like fingers. His hair spiking up, casting the illusion in his shadow of a hedgehog. His face still covered by that same spiked hair.

"Hello, Y/n. It is time for a midnight walk." His guards stomped up and grabbed me. I tried to restrain and shout, but a red slither curled around me and covered my mouth, silencing me. I silently whimpered as the slither burned my skin. The guards carried me out into the hospital like corridor, and through to an ancient looking door. The guards dropped me and left. He stood over me, flicking his fingers up. The slither loosened around my body but continued to burn the rims of my mouth shut. He clicked his fingers, and I began hovering next to him.

"Now, it's time to initiate the next phase. Through these doors, you will be reachable from earth for as long as you are in it. Just long enough to hopefully get the attention of one of your loved ones." I stared at the door, its shadow seeming to drown me like a tidal wave of darkness.

"Shall we?" He asked, but not giving me choice. The wood creaked as the door swung slowly open. He walked into the darkness, me hovering in tow.

I saw another red slither glow through all the darkness, keeping another person restrained. "Now, I caught your little friend spying on me. Luckily, he will never be able to tell you, what with the next phase coming. You will not be here for much longer Y/n, Miles, hopefully. Now. It's time."

The darkness of the room lit up with an illuminating map of the world. It moved in on the U.S.A. As it got closer and kept zooming in, it finally reached...Queens. Then the streets of Queens were painted on the walls. We hovered down the streets to a familiar apartment block. The door unlocked, sending us up the elevator. We eventually came face to face with Peter's apartment door. The door seeped open, gliding over to Peters room.

He was sat there, chewing the end of his pencil while he worked out an equation. He still had dark bags under his eyes, but his hair was less shabby. It was back to its normal curly form. Then the phone on his desk rang. It was an unknown number. He ignored it. Then it kept ringing until he picked up.

"STOP CALLING ME!" He shouted into the phone. I was shocked to see him this angry. He was never that irritated. Then the slither loosed completely, from around my mouth and body. It lay there on the ground. "Hello? Anybody there?" Peter asked. Then I saw the disc start to light up, he pulled out the device and pressed the button. "AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. But my scream also came out of Peters phone. Suddenly it hit me what he was doing. "Who is this?!" I heard his panicked tone come from all around me. "Peter?" I looked up, trying to get his attention. My voice husky from screaming. "Y/n?! Oh My God your still alive! Tell me where you are!" I saw his face light up as he through off his homework and pulled out a notepad. "If you want to see Y/n again, I'm going to need you to do something for me..." the guy said. I knew I could not let Peter fall for it. No matter if it got me out, I knew whatever he was going to ask was not going to be pretty. "Anything! Just let her go!" His voice broke as he shouted into his phone. My heart broke, he knew I was alive that is all he needed to know. He would find help and get me and Miles out. "Peter, don't! It is a trick! He won't let me go-" I shouted with all of my strength. Then the room went black again.

"Well, Y/n. Congratulations. You did exactly as I predicted. You really think I need a petty human to do my work? The next phase is beginning..." Even in the darkness, I could see his wicked smile. The guards came in and dragged Miles out. "No! Let him go! It was my idea anyway!" I stumbled onto my feet, pleading with the guy. "He's not the one I want. He has already done and still doing his part. Your yet to start yours. Now let us get you ready." He walked forward, picking up the slither. He flicked his fingers and it reattached itself, but only around my body. Deepening the already existing burns. "Argh! What...do you mean?" But I did not get an answer.

We went down the hall, more doors had appeared than I remembered. We came at the foot of a rusty metal one. When it opened, I at once remembered it. "Judging by the look on your face, you remember this place. Well, this is my throne room. Also acts as a one on one with my prisoners. Miles was in here not too long ago." He said, slamming me into the cell. This made the slither move from my body to only my wrists, cuffing me to the cell bars. The healing scars still there from my time at the TVA now resurfacing and bleeding again. I could feel bruises forming from being thrown around "Argh!!! What...what do...want with Miles...anyway..." I questioned, feeling like I was going to faint from all the loss of blood.

"Nothing important, well actually yes. I put a disc of my own in him as well. He is now fully under my control. So, no matter if you manage to take it out, which should not happen unless I let it, he won't be able to remember what he learned." He grinned under his hair. "You know... you still...haven't...told me...who you are..." I managed to get out. "Well, if your family and friends managed to figure out where you are then I'll let you go. Then hopefully someone there will be able to tell you." He smirked. "Why...not just...tell me..." I barely said. "Dramatic affect. I love it when people know my name. Shows I'm feared."

I could not take it anymore, the unbearable pain, the amount of blood escaping my body. The aches from the bruises forming. My head fell and everything went black.
