Silver Lining: The Haunted

Ch.23-Dun Dun Duhhhh

~Colin~
"Remember me now?" The man took off his hood and got closer to my face. That creepy ass grin was still there and made me really want to smack it off his face. "Don't play these games boy."

"Like I said I have no idea who you are! And I'm not Drake. Something happened. Do I look half ender to you?" I snapped. My wrist were starting to burn from me pulling at the rope.

"What? Give me a torch would you." Once he got the torch he held it to my face and stared at me for a good minute before mumbling a bunch of stuff and throwing the torch. "Stupid blind eye.....can't they do anything right.....am I supposed......damn it."

"Who are you?" I wanted to know what happened to have pissed this guy off so much.

"You idiots! I told you to take the hybrid!"

"Sorry sir. We had to get out of there fast. The rest of the group was still awake and an enderman appeared and almost killed Jackson!" The man in the doorway was one of them who attacked us earlier.

"Look I may look like Drake except for his ender side but I'm not. " I interrupted their conversation and got an angry glare from the man.

"Where is he? I'm not going to play games with you. So you can tell me where he is or I do this the hard way."  He demanded.

"Whoa hold your horses. Do you really think I'm going to tell you that? Any way he was there the night they took me! They just didn't realize that it was him. I'm not letting you hurt the others." I retorted. I may not be as close with them as they are with each other but I still won't let anything happen to them. I could at least do some good since it's my fault all of this herobrine shit happened by cause of me being a stupid and naive kid.

I was getting increasingly nervous. I don't trust this guy and or this place. "I don't need to tell you anything about me."

"Fine I'll do it the hard way."

"Hard way?"

"Yes." He held up his hand as light started to appear in his palm. The creepy grin returning to his face again. "I'll go through your memories. So I really see who exactly you are. Maybe even find the who I'm looking for too. Two birds with one stone. "

I've done this kind of magic before to alter Armens memories and give Drake memories so they didn't know what I had done. This was after I created Drake as a plan B. I felt bad changing Armens memories and giving them both false memories about just moving into that house. But it had to be done. This was going to hurt.

~Mia~

"Mia wake up!" Grayson practically shouted at me, jerking me awake.

"What? I'm uo!" I stood up and nearly face planted back into the ground. "I'm ok. Just dizzy." I spit out dirt and got up and brushed myself off.

"Colin's gone..." Armen said in a quiet distant tone. He was looking into the woods.

"Yea I know. We can't find him. Drake went to try and look in the surrounding area. He should be back soon." Grayson informed us.

~Drake~

He was no where to be found and I couldn't sense his life force. We may have separated but we are still connected in some way. Normally I can feel his force but I can't right now. It's really weak. Either he is far away, some form of magic is blocking it, or he's dying. I really hope it's the first one. I've been out here for an hour so I guess I should head back.

'I will come back for you....'

Every part of my body stiffened and I felt my anxiety kick up. I don't like it out here I'm leaving now. I teleported back to the others to find Mia awake.

"Hey your back. Find anything?" Grayson asked. I shook my head and sighed.

"Ok well we'll find him. Don't worry. We never leave anyone behind. Never." Mia stated, firmly and determined.

We had to work and work fast. Who knows who took Colin and what he's going through right now. It was going to take more than determination to find him.

'You can never escape. I'm always here.'
