United As The Ten- Part One Of The Conclusion To The United Series

Chapter Fifteen

Jason's POV:

I haven't felt such anger at a demigod since Octavian.

Bryce Lawrence dies and somehow comes back to life and what's the first thing he does? Follows Octavian's steps and helps Setrákus Ra, then takes me over and forces me to torture Max, and now, I want him to know how it feels to be tortured.

I glance at Max and she's glaring coldly at Bryce, her fists clenched. Does she want revenge, too? If so, I'm going to give it to her.

I point the tip of my sword at Bryce and he looks amused at my action. He sighs and shakes his head, an insane smirk on his face.

"Have you learned nothing, Jason?" Bryce asks then flicks his hand in my direction. I go flying across the room and crash into the wall behind me. This idiot has telekinesis, and obviously Dreynen as well.

I look up and see Bryce smirking at Max, a mad glint in his eyes. Max holds out her Voron sword to point at him but he simply flicks his wrist again and the sword flies out of her hand. She takes a step back from Bryce, glaring at him.

"I see you've healed all those cuts. Can't wait to give them back," Bryce taunts Max, advancing on her. Max scowls at him and when he's close enough to her, Max punches him in the face and throat. Bryce gasps and stumbles back, holding his throat. He attempts a stab at Max but she side-steps and elbows his arm in. Bryce yells in pain and thrusts his arm towards Max. She's blasted away and her back slams into the table in the center of the room. I bite my lip to stop from shouting out to her.

I jump to my feet and charge at Bryce. He hears me and lifts his hand up. I stop running and hold my throat- he's choking me with telekinesis. I fall to my knees and make a ragged choked noise. Black dots dance in my vision and I feel ready to pass out until I spot Max creating a small wave of water. She blasts Bryce with it and he crashes into the wall behind him and I feel relief as I'm finally able to breathe again.

I summon the winds to keep Bryce pinned to the wall but he still has telekinesis. He lifts his Mogadorian sword into the air with telekinesis and aims it at me. He hurls his sword at me and I jump out of the way at the last second. I accidentally let go of the winds and Bryce is released from the wall. He brings his sword back and instead aims it at Max. He blasts me across the room with telekinesis again then holds his hand out towards Max and his sword hurtles towards her. Max tries to move away but she's being held down by telekinesis.

"Max!" I shout out but she has it under control. Bryce's sword is a few inches away from her when she hits it away from her with a wave of water. It crashes into Bryce and when the water secedes to the floor, the sword is stuck into Bryce's shoulder. He growls at Max, pulling the sword out of his shoulder. I stand up and Bryce grabs Max with his telekinesis then slams her onto the ground. He continuously lifts her up and smashes her on the ground. She shouts out in pain and I rush up to Bryce and attempt to bang the hilt of my sword against his head to knock him out. Instead, he lets go of a pale and bloody Max then points his palm at me. I feel like my soul is leaving my body and I can't move.

Before I can do anything about it, I black out.

Max's POV:

I breathe heavily, trying to regain myself from being slammed onto the floor a hundred times. I look up and Jason is staring blankly at Bryce while Bryce smirks. Why isn't Jason attacking him?

Bryce looks at me smugly, his green eyes filled with a sadistic glint. Jason also turns, smirking at me.

Oh gods.
