'Mitch?' I think to him. 'Mitchie? Are you there?' I sigh.
"I guess I reached my limit." I say and I turn my head to look at Avi. He's spaced out with a panicked expression. "What happened?"
"Something happened to Mitch." He mutters.
"Avi is seeing something right now, give him a second." Kirstie says as soon as she sees my wide eyes.
I nod my head. It's silent for a while. Then Avi starts murmuring words under his breath. "No, no, no... no. Shit! No!" He screams and bangs his fist on the table.
"What's wrong, Avi?" Kirstie asks, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Fuck..." He mutters. "Alex took Mitch... He said that if Scott won't lead his army, then he'll force Mitch to."
Kirstie gasps and my jaw practically drops to the floor. "Is it because I'm immune to his mind control?" Avi just nods. I hang my head. "This is all my fault... Is he okay?"
"For now, yes. Alex drug him off the street and into a van. He's using his acquiescence to keep him sedated. I'm just afraid of what's going to happen once they get back to Alex's house. Mitch just started to fully recover from 160 years in his grasp. I don't know how much more he can handle." Avi explains.
"He hurt him." I say quietly.
"Physically, mentally, and emotionally." Kirstie answers.
"Have you ever wondered why Mitch's hair is cut into that fringe?" Avi questions.
"Yeah. I love it, but Alex showed me a picture of how he looked before. Why did he cut it?"
"Alex got angry and lashed out." Kirstie simply replies.
"Yeah I've heard that before. I want to know what happened!" I raise my voice a bit and Kirstie flinches.
"Mitch said something sassy in his head. Alex heard it and he got really mad. He left a deep cut from his eyebrow to his cheekbone. Mitch is now covering it with his hair. He hates the scar it left. He hates how it reminds him of Alex. Of his past."
I take a moment, letting the words sink in. "Oh."
"Yes but right now we need to come up with a plan." Avi says after a few seconds of silence.
"I know exactly what we're going to do." I hear Connie's voice behind us and we all turn around to look at her.
She just smirks. "Well?" We all say in unison.
A/N: This one is super short because I really want to focus on what's happening to Mitch right now. Don't hate me pls :)
