Zane POV

I quickly put the phone back so he wouldn't suspect anything and I wiggled my way back into the ropes.  My best chance to survive was to cooperate with him.
Ein came back into the room and cut the ropes around me. 
"Zane, come," he lead me to a room with a single chair and large tv screen.  He pushed me into the chair which had wrist and ankle cuffs strapping me to it.
He took out a remote and pressed a few buttons till a video popped up on the screen.
"What's that?" I asked scared to find out.
"Just some stuff your so called friends say about you," he plays the video and I can feel myself trying not to cry.
"Zane is such a screwup."
"Why does Zane have to ruin everything?"
"He's so annoying!"
"I'm glad he'll be gone for awhile, he's been so whiny lately."
"Oh my Irene.  Zane is so stupid!"
"He's such a dork!"
"What does that emo think he's doing?"
"I hate pretending to be friends with him."
"So lame."
"Uuhhhg! Screwup!"
"Screwup!"
"Screwup!"
"Screwup!"
"Why does Zane~Kun have to be such a screwup?"

"Can you please just stop!" I break out into tears after an hour of watching my so called friends talk behind my back.
What hurt worse was that even Kawaii~Chan was saying stuff about me.  They're right, I'm a screwup, I've always been.  My self-esteem was even lower than it was during highschool.  Can I even trust someone to be a real friend?
Ein smiled at me, "So about your friends-"
I cut him off, "I have no friends."
"Perfect.  Go to your room.  Take a left and it's at the end of the hallway," Ein instructed as he freed me from the chair.
I nodded and started walking to my room with my head down.  Behind me I heard something calling my name but I kept walking until I felt a hand on my shoulder.  I jerked away and looked at who was there.  Kawaii~Chan.
What is she doing here? I didn't hear a word she said but she tried to hug me.  I pushed her off, "What are you doing here?! I thought I was an annoying screwup!"
I turned around I started walking faster away from them.  Tears started to escape from my eyes again, I didn't want to see any of them ever again.

Garroth POV

The group caught up to Kawaii~Chan who was shocked.  Why did Zane leave so abruptly?
"Zane! We're here to help!" I shout but Zane just keeps stomping off.
"We have to bring him back home, Garroth go drag him over here so we can talk to him," Aphmau orders.
I run up to Zane and gently grab his wrist.  He pulled away but I tightened my grasp. 
"Zane talk to us! What's wrong?" I try to get him to talk.
"Leave me ALONE!" He punched me in the face with his free hand and I let go accidentally.
Zane started to run but I caught up to him and pinned him to the wall.
"Zane! Tell us what happened! Why are you acting like this?!" That's when I noticed his eye.
Eyes tell more about emotion than someone telling you.  Zane's eyes were mixed with fear, sadness and hurt.
"Zane," my voice softened as I saw tears running down his face.
He struggled to get out of my grip.  I let him go.  There was no use bringing him back home if he was in this state.
I walked back to the group and told them about what I saw in his eyes.
"So you let him go?" Aphmau asked concerned.
I nodded, "If he doesn't trust us then we have to let him trust us before we take him back home."
"That sounds reasonable," a voice came up behind me and I jumped.
My face turned white when I saw him, Ein.
"Before you go and attack me, I want you to know that I can make Zane do anything with his weak little mind right now, so if you want Zane alive, I wouldn't come closer," Ein threatened.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BABY BROTHER?!" I could hear my voice crack.
"Me? Why not ask yourself that? You are the ones who said he was a screwup and a bunch of mean things about him.  I just showed him what you all said," he smiled.
"You were dead," Aaron muttered.
"Correction, you and everybody else thought I was dead," I wanted to kill him so bad, he caused so much pain to our friend group and I was sick of it.
I looked over at the others and they looked like they were full of regret.  I don't blame them, I was to.
"Damian, come here and put these brats in the cell.  Now remember guys, step out of line, Zane gets it as well as the rest of the surviving meifwas," Damian turned and walked in the direction Zane ran off to.  Why am I such a bad brother? This is all my fault!

Zane POV

My room was smaller than I expected.  It was about the size of a janitor closet and was full of weird drawings.  I sighed and curled up to a ball in the corner.  I cried silently into my sleeves until Ein walked inside.
"You can make all the pain go away Zane," Ein handed me a knife, "Kill Kawaii~Chan and the others, you'll feel happy again."
"All the pain will go away?" I ask looking at myself in the knife's reflection.
Ein nods, "You do want to feel happy again, don't you?"
I nod, "Yes but, I-"
Ein cut me off, "Just go and do it then already!"
"But I don't know how to," I admitted not knowing how to hold the knife to kill.
"UGH! STOP STALLING YOU IGNORANT LITTLE MEIFWA!" Ein pushes me out of the room and leads me to the group who is in a jail cell.
"Go on Zane, kill them.  You'll feel happy, the pain will go away, you can go home," Ein ushered me to get the job done.
"Won't the police find out?" I ask looking down at the knife.
"We've been doing this to meifwa for years.  The police won't find out," Damian reassured me.
I looked at my ex friends who were tied up in the center of the cage.  I took a deep breath and walked rowards them.
Screwup! Why does Zane have to ruin everything?! What a loser! He's so useless!
"Stop it!" I yell at the memories of what they said haunting my mind.
I threw the knife on the floor and cried into my comfort ball.
"ZANE! PICK UP THAT KNIFE AND KILL THEM ALREADY! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO USELES?!" Ein yelled.
I tried blocking his voice out.  Why was I helping him? He was a jerk to me to as well as a liar, I can't feel happiness again.
Footsteps started coming toward me and I got shoved hard by Ein.
"If you thought Damian was bad Zane, well I'm worse!" He scratched my face with his claws.
"DON'T TOUCH HIM EIN!" Kawaii~Chan yelled.
Ein growled at her and grabbed me by the neck and held me up in the air.  I struggled to get free but he was to strong, no, I was to weak. I am weak. 
"Now Zane, you can go on and kill them, or I can do it while you watch it happen.  What will it be?" He looked at me directly in the eye.
All I could see in his eyes was the desire for power.  Do I really want to give that to him? STUPID ZANE! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU WANT!
The grip around my neck was tightened and I started to cough.
"Give me an answer Zane," Ein furrowed his eyebrows at me.
He groaned and threw me on the floor and took the knife himself.
I looked at Ein then the group.
"Zane help us! We're sorry about what we said.  You're a great friend and we never meant any of it!" Kawaii~Chan yelled.
Idiot, whatever you're thinking stop.  You obviously can't do it.  You're a weak screwup with no future.
"Zane please!" She yelled again.
"Wait! I'll do it Ein," I walked to him.
"Just what I wanted to hear.  Go on and kill them," Ein handed me the knife. 
I walked over to them with the knife in my hand and slashed the rope.
"Zane! You had a job!" Ein yelled at me.
"You shouldn't have hired a screwup then," I said coldly and dropped the knife.
I don't like them but I hated the idea of  Ein having power.
I walked out of the cage and went to find the exit out of the mill.  The group was busy attacking Damian.
Thank Irene they're not following me!
"Where do you think you're going?" Ein's voice came up from behind me.
