Demonic Tendencies

Preparation

*3rd person *

Jayden and the crew sighed and went to their rooms. Surprisingly it was already nine pm, time flew by. They all went straight to bed other than Syd and Jayden. Their movements mocked each other even though they were in separate rooms, flopping onto their beds and wiping their faces. Continuing to mock each other actions they grabbed their phones and headset, music, a way to pass the time but to cancel out the real world and fall victim to thought. Staring at the ceiling they zoned out 

*Jayden's POV*

I just could not understand for one second why would uncle give us this 'TEST' and also not anything easy, this puts our lives on the line also his business. Does he really trust us like that? Does he believe we can do this? Why? What will happen if we slip up? UUUGGGGHHHH I need to stop before I get to caught up and panic for no reason and remember you said you will always listen to him. I decided to take a shower and head to bed. I got out of the shower and was bout to walk out the bathroom when I turned and saw my reflection in the mirror. The birthmarks on my back, people always thought it was scars but its not. When i first saw them I asked mom and she told me its one big birthmark but some parts matched my skin colour so that's why it looks patchy and like scars.

*sigh* I changed and headed to back to bed, I could literally melt in that soft, fluffy BED. Laying there I my mind was flooded with past thought

 one of the worst ones.

*FLASHBACK*

"Jayden! meet me in the basement" uncle shouted " You to Ander"

Ander was a friend of my uncle, he would carry out any task asked by him without question. i made my way to the basement knowing what was in store for me when got there. Oh boy was i wrong that day they made my 'private training ' ten times harder. Ander stood behind me with a whip and my uncle sat on the steps smoking.

"Jayden today we will continue to build your pain tolerance and emotional resolve, so no getting angry, cursing or crying if u do cry because I have never seen you cry " he calmly said to me " Begin"

With that Ander whipped me with each whip my skin turned red. I felt my skin on my back become softer with each hit like a chef tenderizing meat. this was not the normal routine but i honestly didn't think much in that situation, it was normally working harder and a shit ton of beatings but yet i stayed there talking the hits. After a few hits my uncle finished smoking and began to speak to me.

"If you are asking yourself why i am doing this to you. It is to make you control all your emotions, requested by your father. Dont ask how i know him he is my brother after all, you will one day find out who he is and understand why HE requested this to be done to you. I am truly sorry i have to do this but your father knows whats best for you." he said 

With that i fell to the ground throwing up dark red blood. That was when Ander stopped, got rope and tied my hands and continued to whip me. Now with every whip slightly flinced and spat up a little blood.

Ander was walking around and before he can even whip me he took out a packet of cigurates from his pocket and a pocket knife, as soon as he went out of my peripherals he slipped in blood tripped and sliced my shoulder with the knife. With that i gave in and let out a soft scream, that's when my vision blured and all went dark.

When i woke up i saw my uncle with the most worried look on his face but somehow still strict. He apologised and was about to say something but was interrupted when i hugged him and soflty said ' I love now and always no matter what happens between us and i know it was for the better in me so i will push harder just i want to know about dad' with that he hugged me back.
