Sinistral

Chapter Nineteen

Ever been scared of the dark? Ever wondered what was that hiding in the shadows. I have, in that tunnel I nearly went insane. Lucas was right about the tunnel. If you go against his rules, he'll punish you. Nail down on you, like your some nail that isn't in place, not the way it should be.

Well, with me and Zack he was toying with us. Maybe even more then that but I won't go into detail about what I mean by that, yet. You lose track of time, when you die. I mean what's the point of keeping track your dead? But being in that tunnel made Sinistral look like a dream. Because the tunnel toys with you, takes your deepest fears, your saddest memories and plays with them in the best way it can. It knows how to play with your mind, it knows how to dish pain and it can destroy a person.

When I first heard Lucas say that. I'll destroy you but a bit later I'll destroy Zack first. It didn't dawn on me until I had entered that tunnel. Before it consumed me the moment I walked into its depths.

"You'll be at home in the tunnel," a voice sneered before letting out a laugh which sent chills down my spine, I was barely conscious, my senses felt like they failing slowly one by one, the grip on my upper arm was strong though, I was being dragged,I knew that much, and all I could hear was that same voice echoing around my head saying the same thing, threatening to burst all the sanity from my body, from my mind.

I could feel Lucas's presence even if he was at a far distants from me, I had took a quick glance back at Zack being dragged by another Scar but Lucas was a lot closer to Zack. It made me feel even more on edge. Those words Lucas had said in my nightmare crept to the surface. "Zack will go down first." My whole body felt like it wanted to force myself from the Scar's grip and charge Lucas down but the thought vanished as the scar that had me tightened his grip his smirk growing bigger if that was even possible.

We had been dragged for what felt like forever before the scar that gripped me tight let me fall like I was nothing important, I slumped hard and in earshot I heard Lucas's voice again "Here we are," he said pleased

I turned my head and saw that he was looking at me, I tried to show no fear, showing fear to Lucas would only spur him on, his face was gleeful with a smile that made my skin crawl he turned his head to the scar closest to him "Key!" he shouted, the scar approached him quickly and handed him a key.

I heard the key slide into a lock and open a door, I heard the striding proud footsteps of Lucas leading and the Scars following there master. I felt the Scar's iron grip on my arm again and turned my head to see the same thing happening to Zack, he looked at me, his eyes looked defeated, we were dragged into a short corridor, the walls were made of stone and the first thing that hit me was the cold, it suddenly got really cold, freezing even, I gasped for a breathe that felt like it has been snatched up by the cold.

My arm was starting to hurt, I mean really hurt, the scar's grip felt like my bones were breaking, the footsteps got faster as if they couldn't wait to get to the tunnel, whatever that was.

"I guess you like the heat? I mean that's why the tunnel is cold right?" Zack asked into the corridor. I didn't know what Zack was trying to do, but we had come in contact with Lucas together once before and I thought after last time he would learn to not say what he is thinking.

Lucas didn't look angry at all. "Actually, yes. I like the heat," he sneered like it was nothing. "They say that people who like the heat, people who are hot have a cold heart. It explains Sinistral right and you," Zack continued.

Lucas laughed as if he was impressed, it was so loud it threatened to start a endless ringing in my ears "I like you" he said to Zack although not looking at him, Zack turned his head away in disgust, he was angry, I could feel his frustration, his desperation of wanting to make Lucas suffer like he had already made us suffer, us and everyone else here in Sinistral.
