OK OK LETS BEGIN

———————————————————————————————————

I ran through the forest aimlessly, I had no idea where I was going or what my goal was, I just had to keep running. I couldn't let him get me. Not again. He should be dead, I don't know how that thing is alive, I thought we killed him and it was over. But no, ever since then it's all just gotten worse. The cure failed and the infection has become worse and more violent. I got separated from my group a while ago when a bunch of infected swarmed us, I hope they are ok... Without any warning I was abruptly dragged back into that void, where I first met him.

"Why are you running dear?" He said with a smirk. "What do you want from me now I'm not joining your stupid cult." I retorted. "Oh but you will! You don't have a choice anymore darling." TIO leered. "what.." I breathed out as I stepped back into the nothingness of the void. "Your friends are gone.. You have no one else to go to, like I said I knew you'd come running back to me." he purred whist raising a hand to his chin. "No, they aren't. I don't trust you. And I know they are fine. We've survived this long, one little swarm isn't going to get us. We've dealt with loads of those before. And you came running to me, I didn't come to you. I don't know what your trying right now but it's not going to work." I argued. "Hm, it will.'' TIO smiled. Suddenly four long black tendrils shot out the ground and wrapped around my limbs.

"UH- HUH-" I yelled out, alarmed at the sudden movement, I tried to step back but I couldn't move even one inch, these things were firmly holding me in place. I fell silent, not knowing what to say. "I'm still not joining.." I said reluctantly after a long pause. He stared at me with a grin as he began to walk towards me. I struggled and he noticed. "Now, now, you're already trying to escape?" TIO said as he roughly grabbed my face and lifted it up so I could see his. "You're a monster" I said bluntly while gritting my teeth. He frowned, he shifted his eyes to the side of the room and was about to speak. However I cut him off "Ok listen" I sighed "I know ur not- Ugh- LISTEN I know you don't have bad intentions but you're clearly going about this awfully." I stated angrily. TIO returned his gaze back to me before turning around putting his back to me. "Yes. so you understand. Why not let me help you." he said clearly agitated "because you're not helping." I said. He snarled at me.

I sighed.

"Listen I know I wont be able to change you or your plans but can you at least let me go?" i asked

"No."

"Why? I'm not joining you. No matter what you do, I'm not joining your cult."

He sighed and put a hand to his face.

I felt the tendrils around me loosen as I dropped on my knees to the floor.

I raised both my hands and looked at them before looking back to TIO. "What are you planning here." I asked, "You're correct, you cannot change my motives." he stated. I stood up and slowly walked towards him "ok listen TIO i don't want to have to hurt you again, can you not just chill? I'm not good at talking people out of stuff.." I explained.

He stayed silent.

"Like I said, you cannot stop me." TIO answered. Still facing away from me. "I know I can't." I uttered. Silence fell between us again. It seems we both didn't know how to continue this conversation. "Ok.. listen man I do understand your motives and why you're doing this." I said. "I know how it feels to be abandoned.." I stated.
