Captain Aceti / air (BEING EDITED ATM)

Chapter 32

Mitch's POV

My eyes slowly open, my entire body aching.

"Oh good, you're awake." Seto said with an evil grin, walking up to me, a key in his hand.

"W-what do you want from me?" I stuttered, in all honesty, this man terrified me.

"I've been trying to take down Jerome for a while now, but nothing I did would convince him to stop becoming a threat to me. But then he met you, and I knew I would get my way at last." He laughed, unlocking my ankle chains.

"Why keep me then? When you can just kill me?" I challenged, raising an eyebrow at him and all he did was chuckle darkly.

"Ah, but then Jerome would have a new reason to attack me again, so for now I'll just keep you here and do as I please with you, until I figure out what I actually want to do with you of course." He explains, unlocking the chains connecting to my wrist and I fall, colliding head first with the concrete floor.

I groan in pain, my head is pounding and when I try standing up, I don't have enough strength or energy to push myself up.

I look down to my wrist, dark purple bruises covered them fully,  I gently brushed my fingers against them, making me flinch.

"You know, Mitch, I was highly impressed while you were learning how to use your powers, you're a natural. If only.." He stopped mid sentence, and I could almost see the wheels turning in his head.

"Hmm... just maybe.... If I could make a potion, I can use you for my own side...I'd just need the right ingredients..."
I watched, slightly horrified as Seto stood their thinking.

Suddenly he rushed over to a counter, bottles, papers & different kinds of liquids covered it almost completely, Seto grabbed a stray paper and scribbled something on it. He then walked into another room, leaving me laying here.

I tried to get up but I was too weak to get up, whenever I moved small shocks of pain flowed through my body, making it difficult to do anything.
My head perked up a bit when I heard a shout coming from the other room.

"H.B! Watch Mitchell for a while, do with him as you please but don't kill him. If you do I'll make you regret it!"

Seto was yelling as someone, probably this so called 'H.B.'

Wait, so Seto's not working alone? Or is this just one of his zombies?

I heard more yelling from the other room but I couldn't make out the conversation.

All of a sudden there was a loud crash, the noise echoed throughout the 'base' causing me to flinch slightly.

The loud sound was soon followed by more yelling & then it went quiet.

Suddenly I heard footsteps and they kept growing louder and louder by the second.

Whoever was coming for me was now in the room, was it Seto? Or this H.B guy?

I lifted my head off the ground and saw a tall man rummaging through one of the counters mumbling something.

He quickly turned to me and smiled. I stared in shock, he looked young, but how would I know? Half of his face was covered by a mask.

The man kneeled down to me, I laid there frozen from fear.
I was guessing this was H.B.
He wore a white t-shirt, except it was covered in what I'm guessing was blood, ripped jeans and black shoes. His mask was white as well, blood splattered across it and he had this almost psychopathic look in his eyes.

"Hello Mitch, I'm H.B.
Now that Seto's gone we can finally have some fun..."
