Forever Mangled - NatePat

{Chapter 18: You Don't Know What I've Been Through!}

{WARNING: This chapter may be slightly disturbing and/or upsetting to some. Reader discretion is advised}

Matt's POV

My scalp felt like it was going detach itself from my skull. Mason had such a vice grip on my hair as he dragged me down the steps to the center of the living room. I felt my head wound re-open as blood poured down my face.

He threw me down and immediately started punching me all over my body. I screamed and I screamed and I screamed till my throat was raw and my head was spinning. There wasn't a single spot on my body that didn't hurt.

"Do you see this Nate!?" Mason screamed, clearly trying to get to Nate while he was in the resides of his mind. "Do you see what happens when you defy me!?"

Mason let out a cackle as he grabbed hold of my leg and dragged me over to the basement door. I barely had any voice or breath left to cry out, but the tears continued to stream down my face.

How had this happened to me? What had Nate or I done to deserve this?

Mason's POV

My mind felt icy clear with my plan yet burning with power, rage and bloodlust. I hadn't felt this powerful in a long time. I was fully feeding into my pain and anger without any resistance at long last.

Nathan was screaming at me to stop, having watched me turn Matthew into a bloody and bruised mess. I was able to block him out easily, much too focused on my task at hand.

I walked over to the bag of supplies I'd bought when I first took Nathan over and began getting to work on the floor. I didn't bother tying Matthew up because he couldn't move more than an inch without yelping.... weakling.

I grabbed my white paint market and traced the spirit caller symbol on the floor. I'd memorized it ages ago... never knew when some idol would come visit our beloved pizzeria.

I began using my powerful strength built up from my rage to drive metal eyelets into the cement floor along the circle points of the markings. I attached metal cuffs to the 4 eyelets and then went to grab Matthew.

Once he saw me coming he began to try to squirm away. I merely cackled at his resistance and dragged him to the center of the symbol and chained each of his limbs to the 4 points.

"Please Mason! Please!" Matthew shrieked out, his voice barely even audible after all the screaming he'd done the last few minutes. "Jacob wouldn't want this! He wouldn't wa-"

I slapped him hard across the face. How DARE he say my brothers name!

"You have no right to say his name!" I screamed at him as I silenced his voice with the white cloth gag tied tightly around his head. "You have no idea what he went through! He was just a kid! He was my baby brother! I was supposed to protect him!"

I felt my rage begin to spiral out of control...I was losing myself.

"But you'd NEVER know that feeling huh Matthew!" I screamed in his face as I loomed over him. "You were an only child! A perfect little 'straight A' student who was mommy and daddy's little ANGEL! Sure you got picked on in school, who didn't!? But did you ever have to think about WHERE you were gonna SLEEP at night!? Ever wonder when your next MEAL would be!? Did you ever have to beg for money like a DIRTY DOG!?"

I had begun to shake with unquenchable, irascible, vexation...I couldn't feel anything except outrage and vengeance for what had happened to my brother and I.

Matthew looked beyond terrified. He was seeing me at my peek of insatiable power at last!

"You know what Matthew?" I said, making my voice as raspy and insane sounding as I possibly could. "Maybe I should show you EXACTLY what we went through..."

Matthew began to shake and make quick startled breaths through his nose as I grabbed my knife from my back pocket. I leaned down to his ear and whispered, "I'm gonna show you exactly how the 'purple guy' made me what I am today."

Hello Mystical Creatures!

I wasn't kidding when I said this next chapter was gonna be crazy. The next chapter is gonna be this times 10! Prepare yourselves guys!

Don't worry, it won't be horribly graphic. I'm not comfortable writing about stuff like that in that much detail. There will be another warning like the one listed before this chapter as well.

(2/17/2022) EDIT: I changed up how Mason is going to break Matt. I was never quite ok with my original way I wrote it so I'm fixing it now.

Believe it or not, my story is almost over you guys! I can't believe it! Now don't worry, the next chapter isn't the end, I'll make sure to give you all a warning before that!

I have 2 different endings in mind at the moment. If I can't decide on which of the 2, I'll put it to a vote for you guys to decide! I'll keep you posted on this in future chapters.

In the comments, please tell me what you all thought of this chapter and what you think will happen to Matt in the next chapter (keep your answers clean, I don't wanna have any of your comments flagged).

Will Mason go through with what he said? Will he give up this whole plan because of guilt? Will Nate break free? Find out next week!

Stay 'Magical' my Mystical Creatures!
