Faith POV

I wake up an hour later, feeling slightly better than when I fell asleep. My muscles still feel slightly sore and my brain feels bloated if that is possible.  I see Ebony watching TV, some show about housewives or something, and Katness is asleep, breathing slow with a smile on her face. I get up slowly, trying not to disturb the two and tip-toe to the bathroom. 

It is a giant room with beautiful tiles in the perfect design of ying and yang. I stand on the light side, imagining it being my powers. At the moment I was on light, I didn't want to swap back. I look in the mirror, seeing dark bags under my once youthful eyes. But the last day had aged me emotionally twenty years at least. I had gone through being beaten up twice and getting my heart hurt by someone I thought cared for me.

My eyes change briefly from green to white, showing a full bar of power. I check often so in case something happens I know how much power I can use. I hear the phone go and I sneak downstairs so I could listen. I like guessing what is being said by the person on the line. I'm a child, don't judge me. Ebony picks it up.

"Hello?" She waits as the person on the other end of the line speaks. This lasts for about a minute.

"Now? But isn't this too soon?" Ebony waits a few seconds before nodding, she says good-bye and puts down the phone. She looks at me strangely as I walk in, a smile forming on her lips. I feel like something bad is about to happen, like a spidey-signal but I shrug it off.

I don't even see the fire-ball till it strikes me in the chest. I feel the heat burning my flesh, pain shoots through as I pat it out and fall to the ground, surprise and hurt constrict my lungs, leaving me with no oxygen. My fist clenches as pain shoots through my chest.

I use all my strength to shift the air so it flows into me while I fire a small ball of light in her direction, which she speeds around, not even blinking.My vision begins to swim as I gasp for air like a fish out of water. I feel my lungs begin to work again and I can't help but lie there as she speeds over to me.

"Nina is going to love you" She whispers in my ear,grabbing my hair and pulling me onto my feet with in firmly grasped between her hands. I shout for Katness, begging her to wake up, then it hits me. She is ghosting, she can't hear me. I struggle as she pulls me towards the door, some of my hairs coming free from my skull.

I start to shut down, emotions flowing freely as I am dragged outside. I cry and shout, but no voice comes out. Ebony quickly breaks most of her house, for no reason what-so-ever.  Maybe to make it look like we had fought? I am too broken to care.She never lets go of me though, dragging me everywhere. Pain spiked through my head. Finally she was done and a car pulled up. Nina rolls down the window and indicates the back.

Or so I thought, I am shoved past the back and towards the boot. It pops open I am pushed in, the lid closing and plunging me into darkness. I start to push on the lid, small taps turning to hard shoves as fear begins to build up. I may have an un-known claustrophobia.

I can here the car moving, noises from other cars passing me. The people in the cars unaware that I was trapped a matter of feet away from them. I have never felt more trapped. I start to focus on my own breathing, trying to calm it down, yet it continues to come out in tight spurts, quick breath in and breath out almost in the same second. I create a small orb of light in my hands, rotating it slowly in my hands.

Somehow that works and I begin to breath slowly again, conserving the limited oxygen in the car boot. I knew from watching CSI and NCIS that a car boot only had 2-3 hours minimium living rate before heat prostration will kill me. 

I hear the car stop and the lid opens. The bright light blinds me and I put out my little light. Mia appears and grabs me, pulling me harshly out of the car. I connect painfully with the floor and Nina shouts at her.

"Don't Hurt her! If she gets hurt it won't work!" Mia bows her head, ashamed. I take in my surroundings as I am dragged towards a warehouse. An empty lot and nothing else.

'How Cliché' I think to myself, smiling at the internal joke I had created. I was taking what I could get, seeming as something bad was about to happen to me, probably death. Inside the warehouse is less cliché, computers are stacked around and sat in the middle is a machine that I had never seen before. It is giant with a human size piece which sinks into it. Where the hands go are two black balls with finger slots in them, clamps are placed where the limbs can bend. This crazy machine is what I am being dragged towards.

"How do you like it? I call it the Switch. For reason that will be explained later" Nina laughs and I begin to struggle, not wanting to be put on "The Switch". I start to freak out, knowing that I am now completely alone.

But Mia still gets me in front of it and grabs my waist. I scream as she lifts me up and places me into the machiene. She holds down my chest as the clamps are put on by multiple scientists. Was I a guinea pig for this or something?

Everywhere hurts as I am placed in the machine, my fingers are stretched out and put into the grooves. Finally every-part of me is strapped down, I am stuck on this machine. Remember earlier when I said about how I had never felt so trapped, I take that back, this was the most trapped I had ever been.

"STOP!" Ever-body looks up as Super Luv and Katness break into the compound. I meet Super Luv's eyes, seeing no emotion made me think that he still hadn't forgiven me for what-ever had caused him to think that I was evil. Nina walks over to me, an evil smile on her lips.

"Well look who decided to show up. Katness, I thought you worked for me. Shame on you! Well your both too late,anyway, thanks to your lack of trust Shane, Faith is going to have a change of heart. Pe" My eyes widen as she reveals his true name, how did she know? 

"Let her go" Katness shouts, I become very confused, was she working for Nina or not?

"Oh no, I need her too much to just let her go. This machiene will help me create the evil Faith that has only seen the day of light once. The Faith who has killed and will kill again, starting with you two. That Faith will help me take over the world!" She raises her hands triumpiantly.

"Not to crush your dreams there Nina, but what on earth makes you think I would let you do this" I ask, sarcasm dripping from my words, I was too annoyed to be scared. Her smile drops slightly, I had just called her out.

"Well little miss smarty pants, that's why the machiene is called the switch. It will creep inside your head and change your thoughts. It will infect your light and change it to dark" She laughs as the colour drains from my face. That had been what happened last time. I had been fighting with my father and he started to get inside my head, telling me of everything I couldn't do. I snapped and my light changed to dark.

I begin to struggle but quickly discover that I can barely move beside breathing. I close my eyes tightly, starting to build up a mental wall as I had been taught after last time. I build it quickly, readying myself to act like a firewall to my mind. I open my eyes again, to see when I had to start really protecting myself.

Nina nods once and a scientist presses a red button that every-one could tell meant on...
