Missing Piece

Realization

In a dark Room deep underground a Man with Raven Black Hair, Porcelain pale skin sat on a Chair. With his hands tied behind his back and his head Hanging low. His long hair fell down hiding his Face from the 3 people standing around him.

‘It's…it's him, Sunny! We found him.’

Cassie was sure the Second Finn laid eyes on him. There was a certain presence to the Man in the Chair and she knew that presence all too well. Even if it has gotten more vast and Powerful. It was undeniably him.

“After Months of Chasing you through the Dream Realm and Waking World we finally got you. Now your Memories Will be ours.”

The Man that was speaking had an eerie voice. His brought shoulders were packed with Muscles while the Armor he was wearing showed a Symbol Cassie was very Familiar with.

‘The House of Night! They catched Sunny? How?’

She had no Idea who the 3 Men were but one thing was Clear, they were all Saints.  She continued to watch the Memory of Finn with great interest.

“Our Boss will shortly be here. Then we will start with the Show. You will have no Choice but to give us your precious Divine Memories you were bragging about in that Bar.”

Again an Eerie laughter spread through the giant Room whose ceiling was hidden by a seemingly endless expense of Darkness. Sunny who was sitting in the Center, Chained to the Chair, didn't move one bit, he didn't even Speak.

After some time a 4th Man arrived. This one a Saint too. Cassie actually knew him from one of the Meetings between Valor and Night. He was a cunning warrior and a force of Nature. Especially in his Element, the Ocean, where he was home.

The 4th man walked up to Sunny and stood behind the Chair he was Chained to. He leaned down to Sunny's head and spoke coldly.

“How do you enjoy our Shackles? They were Especially made for Awakened you know? They drain every ounce of Essence and become harder to break in return so even a Saint like you will never be able to break them. How did it feel to wake up without a Drop of Essence left in your Body? I bet you're barely holding it together, now that you are on the verge of Collapsing we are gonna have our fun with you.”

Suddenly the Man sitting on the Chair moved. Raising his head to let his Hair fall to the side revealing his Onyx Black eyes. He opened his Mouth and spoke evenly.

“Is that how you Tortured all the others? How you broke them down to make them Transfer all their Memories? Is that how the House Of Night handles their Business?”

The Man standing behind him just laughed. But suddenly he grabbed Sunny's Neck and pressed down on it. His voice became more Crazy and Angry at the Same time while a mixture Of Hate and Greed burned in his Violet eyes.

“My Clan has no Business in what I do here. This is for my own Wealth of course. Why would I go out and fight endless waves Of Creatures when there are literal Bags full of precious Memories like you running around? You should have kept your Mouth Shut, boy.”

A moment later the Man let go of Sunny's Neck, allowing him to sit up straight again. Sunny still had an even Look on his face when he turned his head to give every person in the Room a Glance. Finn, who was sitting in a Cage shuddered when Sunny looked him straight in the eyes. He felt like the Man was staring right into his Soul. Little did he know that this was exactly what was happening.

Sunny hadn't decided to give them All a Glance for nothing of course. Instead he was doing so to be sure. Sure in how to handle this Situation he has brought himself into. Months ago he had heard rumors of People vanishing without a Trace. Coincidentally all of them Vanished after a drunken Night close To the Storm Sea. Most people thought a Nightmare Creature had been the cause but when Sunny got curious and Followed one of the Man That were blabbering about how Many new Memories and even Echoes he had obtained something Unexpected happened.
