Destiny

CHAPTER 5

The room was dark and smoky, the presence of evil was so strong he could almost taste it. He'd been a prisoner for so long, he didn't know how long it had been, he didn't know if it was the same month , same week, same year, hell !  he wasn't even sure what time it was, he hadn't seen the sun in so long.

He couldn't think of anything, but that  terrible memory kept playing and replaying in his head and there was nothing he could do to stop it, like there was nothing he could do to stop that terrible memory from occurring.

He was a sorcerer, a sorcerer for heavens sake, but he could do nothing as he watched on, watched their slaughter, watched their deaths. He did nothing but watch those horrible ugly demons kill his family, not ending there, trapped their souls, depriving him of his inheritance.

He fought so hard to free them, to offer them at least a peaceful after life, and to take what was rightfully his, but no, he couldn't, his efforts proved fruitless, and he ended up here; in this bloody gloomy dark , godforsaken threshold with no windows or light and hardly any fresh air. Where he was tortured, day and night.

They claimed to have spared him to use him to capture someone, the tortures were in preparation for the mission. The witch he was to capture was claimed to be a filial  necessity in the process of releasing his family, and thus, his inheritance. But he wasn't that stupid,  he knew they were up to something, he just wasn't sure what yet, but he'd find out , if it didn't  kill him first that is.

He was suddenly distracted from his thoughts by distant hissing sounds, it was the demons, they were back, he tried to clear his mind, empty his thoughts, if they found out what he was thinking they'd give him the " the punishment".

Their punishment was something he always dreaded, they'd get into his body and turn to prickly balls of fire, then after rolling around inside for a while, try to get out without using normal openings. The protection spell he casted did little to stop them, but at least it kept him alive.

He tried casting the spell which always vaporized his thoughts, but it was too late, their hissing ghastly drawling whispers where already upon him

"Eeeeeeeethhhhaaaaannnnn--- Eeeeeeetttthhhhhaaaaannnn--- "

He tried to move deeper into the dark, but there was nowhere to hide, they'd already surrounded him, he couldn't see their snaky bodies but their evil glowing eyes proved to be quite prominent, persistent for attention. They looked down at him in glee when they saw the fear build up in his eyes and thoughts, they glanced at each other and nodded in agreement, he was ready, he was no longer the stubborn mule they had captured a year ago, he was now terrified of them, they could get him to do what they wanted

" Eeeetthhaaan , areee uu reaaaddyy?" they asked
He tried to crawl away, but then came face to face with one of the vicious blood thirsty demons, its body was so huge , he wasn't sure were its tail ended, its eyes were deadly, and he hated the evil grin it gave him, he gasped at its size and wondered how it, all of them could go in and out of his body like they did.

The demon slithered menacingly towards him, he saw its head raise , ready to inflict torture, he didn't try to run anymore, he had nowhere to go anyway, he raised his head and closed his eyes, trying to ready himself for the pain he still hadn't gotten used to

"Sttooopppp!" the others shrieked " noot now, noowssss nottt the ttttiiimmmeeee"

They then turned to him, still waiting for his answer, he nodded
"Gooooooddd" they hissed, he was lifted and pushed into a corner. His mind was suddenly filled with his mission.

He was to get into a school, EleanDan it was called. He could be a worker or a lecturer or worker or whatever, he just had to get in. The girl was there, so beautiful, pure and innocent, he had to get close to her, get her to trust him, then when the time was right, he'd drug her and bring her to them or perform the sacrifice himself, and bring them back the powers they desired. The spells and procedure was imprinted in his brain and then the trance was over.

" But why, why her , how much power exactly did she have, how was she involved in all this?" he wondered

" Stooop thhoooosee dirrrrttttyyyy thoughtsss" they hissed
" itsss none of yourrr businesssss, jussstttt doooo as youuu areee tooold" they hissed

He didn't have to be told twice, he was determined to do what they wanted , determined to set his family free, determined to get his inheritance , determined to get back to his Ingrid and he didn't care a hoot who or what he had to do and use to get what he wanted, he'd get it, he'd make sure of it.

He looked at them
" I'm ready!"

" Onnne morreee thhinnggg Eeetthhaaan, we neeed to reminddd youuu of whattt willl happennn, ifff you tryyy anythingg funnyyy"

He felt them crawling closer, he kept stepping back until he hit a wall. He closed his eyes , not ready at all for the expected pain, he heard himself scream as he felt them entangle him, squeezing the life out of him.

Suddenly , the pain was gone, he felt a cool breeze wash over him, he felt the light even before he saw it. He finally opened his eyes,  he was in front of the said school.

His mission was to take place here, he had a picture in his hand, of that girl, her beautiful bright eyes, flawless white skin, tiny cherry lips, hair so long its tips touched the ground, and that dazzling enchanting smile, he liked her almost immediately, if he had a choice in the matter, it wouldn't be her.

.He felt a sharp pain go through him,  and realized those damned demons were still around, the sun wasn't that high but it irritated his skin as he stood under it ,  maybe its because he hadn't been under it for so long. But then he looked at his skin and realised what they'd done to him, he was ugly now, almost hideous , how they expected him to win that goddesses heart in this form beat him, he very much preferred his true self.

" Thhatts justtt precautionnnn for disssstractioonn Ethannn, itt turnnns outtt youuu aree a bittt tooo noticeabbleee forrr ourrr likinggg" he heard them his in his head. Then they where gone.

He took in a deep breath and stepped inside, he had a mission to accomplish, his mission had started.

Poor Ethan,
no matter what what , I still like him
Good luck on his mission though
