Blue-Eyed Secrets

Chapter 13

Bryant

CRASH! A door slams in the distance. I hear yelling; it sounds like Chance. He better not have hurt Tes. Chance bounds in to the room glowing Tes's familiar green. I can feel the anger emanating from him, which must have something to do with the burn on his face. Chance's hate-filled eyes turn to me; he lifts his and shoots flames directly at my face. I scream out as the side of my face burns and melts. This pain is unbelievably intense. I won't heal quickly from this either. The restraints I'm in drain my power. Also when Stameions are attacked by any being from any other realm, they heal slower and vice versa with the exception of humans.

"How do you like that? Now we match. I can't wait to kill that stupid girl. I was going to go easy on her, but now, I'm going to make her die a slow and painful death! What do you think about that, Bryant?" Chance grins maniacally at me. The thought of him even looking at Tess fills me with fury. I lunge at him, but the restraints keep me from doing him any harm.

"I'll kill you!" I shout in frustration. Chance laughs and slaps me with his claws. Yes, claws. The Enderans seem to have more animalistic attributes, I've seen one with fangs and even one with a tail.

Yesterday night I was knocked unconscious and taken here. Ever since, the Enderans have been torturing me for information about Tes. Of course, I haven't told them anything. Mostly it's been Chance doing the torturing, but he left a few time and had others tag in. Thinking of what they've done to me makes me cringe, it's been horrible in here. It's not only physical pain that I've endured either. Chance comes in and tells me things that he's going to do to Tes, and how there's nothing I can do about it. Unnatural, despicable acts. He plans to kill her no matter what, he just wants to get more information before he does it. He tells me that it will be quick if I give him what he wants.

It drives me crazy that I'm locked in here and not able to defend Tes. I know my family will protect Tes while she learns to harness her powers, but the Enderans are stronger than any being I've ever met.

"I could've killed her just now, but I wanted to toy with her longer. It was particularly fun watching her struggle to breathe at school," Chance says. He looks in my eyes and my vision is filled with the sight of my school's hallways.

"What are you doing?" I shout in confusion.

"Shh. Just watch."

I see Tes at lunch with Skigh. She's staring at me...No, she's staring at Chance. He's showing me what happened today. Chance watches Tes the entire day and she doesn't notice. Now I see her talking to him in the hallway, she knows something is off about him. Why would she go by herself, she knows nothing about how to use her powers yet? He shows me their whole fight. He emphasizes the part where Tes is lying on the ground gasping for air. I lunge out against the restraints again. Where was Ron or Todd? Why didn't they protect her? Chance ends the memory and speaks again.

"It confuses me how Tes is so important yet she had no protection. They just let her wander off into the human realm doing what she pleases. It doesn't make sense. Oh well, at least it gave me a little one on one time with her." Chance leans against the wall, smirking at me.

"Why are you doing this? Especially to your sister, your own flesh and blood!" I shout at him.

"She is no real sister of mine! My scum mother mated with a Stameion, and she was the result! I killed my mother and soon I will kill Tes!"

"You will never kill Tes," I tell him ferociously. My vision becomes tinted with blue. "She'll kill you, looks like she's got the best of you already." I nod my head at the burn on his face.
