EIGHT: Talk to me

After another round of walking around this boring floor, I'd assume it was now dark out, since the lights of the facility dimmed a little—and also the particular lack of stickfigures like myself.

I walked back to my cell, knowing where it was this time. My fingers brushed against the smooth, cold wall as I made my way to the cell, the lights instantly lit up as soon as i entered.

But a certain individual was sitting atop my bed.

I was surprised, TDL was sitting on the edge of my bed, his arms crossed and he looked annoyed, as if forced to be here.

Damn those two really made him come here, huh?

"Ah, there you are." He spoke coldly, he stood up and slowly walked towards me. I could now see a more clearer view of his face, the cracks across his eyes and on his cheek as he stared me down.

"You wanted to talk with me, make it quick." He added as he stopped in front of me, visibly keeping his distance.

"TDL...why..?" I finally spoke up.

He glared at me as if he already expected me to question it "Why? For power, of course. And i know why you wanted me here Y/n. You want to try and recover our friendship that we once had. Well let me tell you that I've changed. I don't need you nor do i care about you."

TDL finished and walked past me, leaving me in silence. He was right, i wanted to talk to him about that, his words hurt me to the core.

I sighed in frustration, my sadness now turning into anger. Anger that he won't and won't make an effort to come back. I clenched my fists "You shit!" I turned around and yelled at him, i ran up to him and tackled him to the ground. He surely didn't expect that as he was stunned for a moment.

I sat on top of him, pinning his body down, my right hand raised up in the air while my other hand gripped hard on his neck. "DON'T YOU KNOW HOW MUCH SUFFERING YOU CAUSED ALL OF US?!" I yelled, anger laced in my voice. "DON'T YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE HURT OURSELVES JUST TO TRY AND BRING YOU BACK WITH US?! YOU HEARTLESS BITCH" he couldn't move yet, his body still registering the impact of my sudden surprising attack.

I punched him, hard. Even without my powers, i was still strong by myself. He fell silent for a while, his cheek was dusted with red from my punch.

But he was stronger.

He grabbed my wrists and threw me into the wall, my body bounced back and landed on my fours, i was pretty sure he had broken my fucking spine. The impact of his throw was enough to dent the wall.

"You pathetic shit." TDL said, his voice had visible venom in it as he walked closer to my damaged form. "Did you really think I would care if you suffered or not because of me?"

He took a hold of my neck and squeezed it hard, cutting off my oxygen.

"You're lucky I even kept you alive in the first place."

He squeezed my neck harder and I could swear I thought i would die right there.

He then let go, making me fall to the floor, hand on my neck and gasping for air. He looked at me one more time before walking away.

I was now on the infirmary bed, the room was more like a hospital but a bit smaller. The doctor tended my wounds from TDL's throw and checked on my back, thankfully he said that the damage wasn't anything major. But god damn that shit hurt.

"You're all good, but i advise you to get some rest before you go back to your cell"

With that, the doctor walked out of the room to fulfill his daily duties outside the infirmary. I sighed.

Just then, the door opens revealing Lady Star and Void, Lady Star's expression was a worried one while Void had his usual stoic expression.

"Y/n are you okay?! What the hell happened??" She asked concerningly.

"I just.. Got too carried away.." I scratched my neck.

"Carried away to punch him?!"

"Wait you saw that?!"

"Of course we did! We had a shift in the security room!"

"I knew it wasn't a great idea.." Void thought as he kept silent.

Lady Star sighs, not wanting to yell anymore. "You really shouldn't have done what you did."

"..."

"Don't you have a healing power?" She asked.

"I do" i spoke "but these bands are binding it.." I raised my hands to show the black bands with green outlines, Lady Star raised her eyebrows.

"Interesting.. The Dark Lord had never put that on his subjects before" she commented.

"That's because it's meant for someone who has a powerful ability." Void suddenly speaks up "It's Dark's way of keeping the subject powerless and easier to contain."

I kept silent, taking my time to absorb the information i was suddenly given.

"Let me see." He walks closer and holds my wrist, examining the band for something like a butto—

Thump.










The band fell to the floor in two pieces, he moved to grab my other hand and did the same process. I looked at my wrists and at him with gratitude.

"These are only enough to hold your power of healing, but I don't know what The Dark Lord did to block your telekinesis. Try healing yourself."

And i did just that, but i wondered why I couldn't use my telekinesis. And i could sense that TDL injected something during my time asleep.

"Please rest, we only made a quick excuse to visit you, we'll be at security if you need us."

Lady Star informed as they both left.

I frowned as I heard the door closed, the thought of living like this for the rest of my life was haunting me, I didn't want to be ignored by TDL while I withered away in this building.

"What have I gotten into..?"
