£22: Temple Part Six (Part 2/3)

Adam's Pov

I woke up on the cold grass, the sun 1/3 of a sun blinding me. At first I questioned why it wasn't full, but then I remembered where I was.

How long have I been out?

27 minutes, 39 seconds.

"Who's there?" I sat up quickly, and immediately regretted my decision, for a giant headache found its way to me.

Who I am is not significant at this time.

"When did you get to decide when it is or isn't time?"

I figured that you value your life, so wasting time answering questions isn't necessary. But if you really find it needed, there's a simple answer. I am you, and you are me.

"Am I supposed to understand that?" I stood up slowly.

Maybe it isn't time yet for you to understand this sequence. But you will... in due time.

"Doesn't make me feel any better." When I looked over, I found my sword. Not the one I had taken from the Wither skeleton, but my actual sword. The one I couldn't freaking find... I reached down to grab it, when I saw electricity forming at my fingers. I yelped and jumped back.

Now that you are starting to see the new changes in your body, are you willing to listen to me?

"Who the hell are you and what did you do to me?!" I shouted at the air.

I am you, but maybe stronger. Now I didn't personally do anything to you. What is inside of you has just woken up giving me the ability to communicate with you. As long as you don't block me out, I can teach you.

"I don't want your help..." I told the voice. It seemed to laugh a bit, which gave me the chills. The laugh was definitely not welcoming.

Do you know the powers that you have? Do you know what you can do with these powers?

"No I don't, but I can figure it out on my own. I don't need someone to tell me how to do things." A snarl sounded from me.

Oh, come now Adam... don't be such a kill joy. The more you try to block me out, the more it will hurt. Child, you need me.

"Don't call me a child!" I snapped. The voice laughed even more. It was beginning to upset me.

You should hear how stupid you sound right now! If you stay this way your whole life, you won't get anywhere!

"JUST SHUT UP!!!"

Jason's Pov

I couldn't keep my mind off of Adam. It had been an hour, and we still hadn't heard from him. I kept pacing around the room, Quinten watched me do so. I saw Seto flinch, and I turned to face him.

"Anything?" I asked. Seto looked up at Sentasia.

"Do you sense it?" He asked. Sentasia shook her head. All of a sudden, Seto's eyes widened.

"EVERYONE DOWN!!! BEHIND ME NOW!!!" We all jumped and ran behind the big couch, Seto putting up a forcefield just as a large explosion went off in the room.

I was still outside the forcefield, and I could see the blinding Butter light. Despite its pressure, I walked to it, seeing the body of my best friend.

I grabbed his hand in the light, and we slammed through the ground, into what appeared to be a basement. A hand wrapped around my neck, and held me against a wall. I heard everyone else above me, but I was more concerned about what I saw in front of me.

Adam had his sunglasses on his forehead, revealing his eyes. No, not his eyes. They were a soulless white, and he didn't seem to recognize me.

"Anyone heard from Jason?!" I tried to open my mouth, but just didn't have the strength to.

"Jαςοη...Í'м ςοяяψ..." The grip loosened a bit, but not completely.

Seto's Pov

The rich yellow light kept growing, and my shield was breaking at an intense rate of speed. Sentasia quickly put her shield up with mine, and it cracked slower. Right as the forcefield was destroyed, the light was gone, replaced with smoke.

"Is everyone alright?!" Ian called out. One by one, yes's filled the air. There was a missing voice. I quickly tallied them up.

Ian, me, Quinten, Mitch, Jerome, Notch, Sentasia...

I stopped.

"Anyone heard from Jason?!" I yelled. The smoke cleared, and everyone looked around for him. He was nowhere in sight.

"Was there always a hole here?" Jerome called. We looked down the hold to what looked like a basement.

"No, and we're going down now." Ian jumped down. We all looked at each other, and decided to follow. When down there, we saw Jason being held against the wall by Adam.

"Adam?! What are you doing?!" Quinten yelled. When he looked over, we all flinched.

"Oh...my.....God" Mitch spoke up first.

Emotionless eyes, with no pupils. Notch looked away.

"What have I done?"
