Primal Inheritance: Freedom [COMPLETED]

Chapter 17: Tested

Shaye

"Let me tell you the first thing you did wrong."
Paige and Shaye were sitting down, and Paige had started interrogating him. "You see this?" He asked, and motioned toward the monitors on the wall. "We can see everything you have been observing. The kids, the false witch, and the little girl. So why, when we told you everything was secret, and that you only needed to know what we gave you, why did you start watching over this building?"

Shaye didn't reply. He stared at the man, making the next few seconds very uncomfortable.
"How can you see what's inside my mind?" Shaye asked, and his tone was different. He sounded angry. "Who gave you this power?"
Paige blinked at the question, and smiled. "We have other mages besides you."

Shaye stood up abruptly, and the lights in his eyes returned. "I'm probably about to die," He thought, and clenched his fists. "I've been expecting this. I was dead when they found me anyways, this was just a second chance. And I failed."

"Whoa, calm down. That's not the reason your here." Paige tried to reassure him, but it wasn't working. "Listen, I'm just trying to warn you. The next time... And neither of us will escape this."
That made Shaye stop and think. "Your trapped too?" Dr.Paige nodded. "If you're not vampire, you're basically a servant. Did they capture you too?"

"Yea, I was captured, but I bargained for my life. I told them I could be useful, and thanks to my ability, I was spared. For this long, at least."
Paige looked at the cameras, and put his head down. "Look, just don't watch over this building anymore. I'm not the one that's doing all of this, I'm just the one making sure that you don't find out the wrong information."

He raised his hand, and Shaye shook it. "Okay." Shaye conceded. "It's that all? I'd like to go home."

Dr.Paige shook his head. "No. The real reason is the monitor in the left corner." Shaye looked at it, but the screen was blank."What about it? It's not showing anything."

Dr.Paige looked guilty. "You're not the only one with that type of magic."
He pressed a button on a remote, and the TV turned on. It showed a room that looked like a laboratory, and he instantly noticed the girl strapped to a bizarre examination table.
"What is this?!" He exclaimed. Those vampires that kidnapped her, they were working for us? Why is she strapped up to that thing?!!"

Instead of answering, Dr.Paige punched him in the face. Caught off guard, Shaye fell backwards. "I told you, if you learn what you aren't supposed to, we both might be killed!" Shaye jumped up, his bottom lip bleeding, breathing hard. The tiny balls of light came out his eyes, and moved towards Dr.Paige. They came so far out of his head that the true color of his eyes were visible. They weren't normal, they were a really light bluish, and they glowed. It was probably because he was using his powers, because his eyes were black earlier. "I will make you so old the bones in your ribcage will break when you cough." Shaye said, trembling with anger. I will revert you back to the times when you still pissed on yourself. Don't ever touch me."

Dr.Paige didn't exactly raise his hands and surrender, but he did step back a bit.
"You wanted to learn something right? Now's the time." He pressed another button, and every monitor except the one with the girl. He c another, and all of the screens filled up with the footage of the girl. "Is this a live stream of her"

Dr.Paige looked at him, then he turned back towards the screen. "We are seeing this from the eyes of Gabriel. Or the mind of Gabriel, however your magic works."
As Shaye looked on, he felt a twinge of sympathy, and guilt. "Is she hurting?" He asked, hoping for reassurance.
