Universal Heroes- Book 3

Ethan
"Sub you're going too far!" I shouted.

He had me seated in a chair in front of a machine I swore I saw before but the rushing thoughts in my head and the will to fight the girl who took my friend from me prevented me from laying my finger directly on it.

"If you think this is too far, I'm so sorry for you when I actually get started." Sub said, tying the cables which kept me attached to the chair tighter.

I had tried to escape before - morphing into a bird and flying through an open window - what I hadn't realised was that he wasn't in control of his body, Sunny was, and she had prepared for anything I tried and kept Sub from coming to his senses.

"Here's the thing though." It was no longer his voice. Sunny's possession was definitely getting stronger.

"I've seen what you can do. I know your power. Honestly, I'm just like you! I am a demon angel hybrid myself. Only you understand the struggle. Only you have an equal amount of power. Join me, Ethan, Sub is at our knees, you can channel your energy through his violent ways. We finally take out Alex and Corl; we have a demon and the one who held your team back all these years will finally pay the price! With our team that powerful, Denis and Elijah won't stand a chance."

My emotions were starting to change. I know my demon was feeding off my fear as well as taking Sunny's bait. I was always told that if one part of my spirit got stronger than the other 2, I'm dead. I didn't want to die like this nor did I want to work with her.

"I mean, It's either that or.." Sub pulled the cable tighter and it felt like it was cutting my skin.

I bit my lip trying to be brave and looking for another way out of this. My powers were out of the question - I bet they planned for that - but apart from that I was too deep into this plan and it was essentially a lose-lose for me. The best I could hope for was that Elijah and Denis found me, but with Alex and Corl out there, the chances were way too low. My demon's voice was echoing in my head, chanting for me to fulfill his wishes of freedom. I could feel myself getting overwhelmed with each thought in my head until I was too weak mentally and in excruciating pain from bleeding out and my blood circulation being cut in multiple places. I had no choice and but to give in.
