The Most Powerful (The Unforgiven)

Chapter 21 (Fear Of Reflection)

I walked into the room after Satan, standing aside as he spoke to our enemies.

"Hello, I'm Satan," he introduced himself darkly. They all look petrified, Katherine moving her friends away from him. "You all know Ethan," he smirked, glancing at me. Leah, Coleman, and Cody all looked fearful of me, yet angry. Alex and Hazel looked into my eyes like I was the devil. And Katherine looked saddened. I couldn't tell if it was sympathy for me, or self-pity.

"I just thought you should know that Katherine rescued Ethan. She saved him, to which led you all here: suffering for her mistake. "

The group looked at Katherine, half betrayed. I stood like the delinquent in the corner, striving to be the rebel. But in this situation, I was striving to be the heartless.

"I know your weakness," Katherine spoke, her voice weak from electrocution. Satan started to laugh, yet she stared defiantly into his eyes. "I know about Micheal."

Satan suddenly stopped laughing, and I never saw him so fearful in my entire life. (Which is almost as long as the beginning of time.)

"What do you know about him?" He seethed, groping her face with one hand. She chuckled, making fun of Satan.

"He's in the Mirrors, and imagine if he gets out. You'll be where you belong so fast, you'll-". Suddenly, her neck snapped like a twig with his one hand. The group almost screamed, everyone grabbing her body from Satan possessively.

"No," I went towards the bed, yet was stopped by Satan. I couldn't control the tears that streamed out like a faucet.

"Why can't you get over this? She's just a girl. I gave you many before, can't another one satisfy you just the same?"

"No!" I screamed, shoving him by the chest. "I don't want another girl," I cried, my voice cracking. The redhead (Alex) staring at me sympathetically, as well as Cody. "I'm not looking for sex."

"You're looking for love?" Satan spat. I fell to my knees, my body shaking with my breathing. "Looks like you need another lesson."

Satan gripped me, dragging me out of the room. I let him, far too weak to defend myself. I made eye contact with Alex, and was drug away to my never ending pain.

I scrambled to Katherine's side after she woke up, gasping for breath. Everyone in our group stared, bewildered.

"You were dead," Leah spoke in shock. Katherine cracked her neck harshly, moving away from our grasps. I sat near Coleman, the girls on opposing sides of the bed to us.

"Look, I know this is insane," Katherine started, Leah nodding her head in agreement. "Just, everyone in a circle, holding hands." Confusion struck us all, everyone looking at each other, almost fearful to make eye contact with Katherine. "Do it!" She demanded.

Everyone circled up, disbelief still on our minds.

"Now, I want you to concentrate on destroying the electric shield. The anger inside you, let it out. Focus all of your anger onto it."

"This is stupid," Leah mumbled, yet she closed her eyes anyway. We all flipped our lids when the electricity sparked, and made the sound of a crashing vehicle.

Yet, we didn't only break the shield. Our room was completely black, after the loss of light. Katherine helped us all scramble out of the doorway, but the entire place was completely dark. And that would mean that the man with the flames knew that we were free, and what we did.
