Bring Him Back (Book 2 of Ssundee Battle Trilogy)

Chapter 9 - Who are you?

I am with Seto in our newly furnished house. Seto sat reading a book, while I was staring out of the window.

Things had started to happen, bad things. Syndicate had come round earlier and informed us that their house had been set on fire by someone anonymous.

Apparently Deadlox and Sky were helping them rebuild it, maybe I could give them a helping hand.

"Just going to see if I can help Tom and Adam." I said as I walked out of the door. Seto nodded and looked back at his book again.

I slowly walked through the forest, I spotted a couple of houses as I walked past, all different shapes and sizes.

I saw Jason, Minecraft Universe, through one of the windows, he was eating a cooked pork chop whilst talking to Antvenom.

They are the most unexpected pair up, but it's good to see they are getting along well with eachother.

Saying that, it's good to see that everyone has settled down and is surviving. Well... apart from the little fire incident.

I approached the building site, well, Seananners and The Syndicate Project's "house".

I waved to them all, it was coming along well, the roof needed doing and the interior. Next to their house was a big pile of Obsidian. I guess that's where the fire came from.

"Uhm, me and Ssundee will get some food for you guys considering you lost it all." Deadlox said, looking at me, worry in his eyes.

Uh Oh...

"Good Idea, thanks guys." Seananners said, giving us a thumbs up. What did Ty want?

We walked away from the site, something was clearly in his mind, he was starting down at the floor and twiddling his thumbs.

We kept walking, looking for animals, he didn't say anything. He didn't even look at me.

Once we approached a field. Ty stopped me.

"Look, I came across something yesterday, but I don't know how to explain it."

I looked across the field and saw a figure standing there, their back to us. Who is that?

"Someone here isn't who you think they are." Ty started, but I had let my legs take me towards the figure.

"No, don't go to him!" Ty yelled.

Before long I found myself standing behind the figure, a figure of whom I recognise.

I played with this person on minecraft to many times to not recognise him. My best friend.

"Captainsparklez?" I said, poking his back.

He slowly turned to face me, but he was different. His eyes. No...

I baked away slightly as he turned around, letting me take in his appearance.

All of his clothes were exactly the same, his black tuxedo, the red rimmed glasses. His hair was the same, but his eyes.

They weren't their normal blue colour, they shone a ghostly white colour, blank, creating a white aura around his eyes.

This wasn't him.

"No! Jordan!" I yelled. Running to punch the thing he was trapped inside. Only to be stopped by Deadlox. Who somehow managed to drag me away.

The Thing turned away from me, and flew, off into the horizon.

I collapsed in Ty' s arms, falling into the floor. Starting to cry. I know the only person who would do this.

"Ian, that is what I tried to tell you." Deadlox told me, kneeling onto the floor to comfort me.

"He's gone." I cried out, he's turned into a demon. I'm never going to see his true self again.

"There's more to the story than what you saw Ssundee." Ty started. I looked up at him confused. He sighed and talked.

"This morning I saw him, but it wasn't the thing you saw then. It was Jordan. His eyes weren't white, they were blue. It was his normal self. But as I approached him, he told me to stay away from him because he didn't want to hurt me. He appeared to be in a lot of pain, like you were when fighting your demon. He then fainted and the evil came out, he opened his eyes and they were that ghastly white colour.

The evil one looked to have much more control, like you did when your demon was gone. I'm thinking that Jordan is that things voice in his head. Like the Derp was yours."

I looked up as the realisation hit me.

"So Jordan is still in there, but he is like my Derp and had to fight to get out. It is the other way round, whereas I was the one that had more control. The evil one is the one in control, and Jordan is his Derp." I said, everything finally making sense.

"But where did that thing come from?" Deadlox asked. I started to run back home, catching him by surprise.

"That's what we have to find out." I shouted over to him.

---

I burst through the door, causing Seto to jump and fall onto the floor. His face had gone white and he was breathing heavily.

"Sorry. I need your help." I laughed.

Seto rolled his eyes.

"I can't finish one book in peace with you around." He said, laughing.

I explained the whole situation to him, the whole time he appeared to be deep in thought.

"What I would say, Ssundee, when you next see him in his evil form. All him questions, see if he remembers. If you find him as... Captainsparklez, ask him what is happening to him. Technically... get information for now." He said.

I nodded. Welp, now we wait.
