Buried Demon

chapter 14

Seth and Tyler both got on their knees as per the soldiers commands and glared at the man in front of me.

"Are these them?" He asked me, not taking his eyes off of Seth and Tyler.

"Them who?" I questioned, hopping to pick him off.

"The two beings you found in the underground chambers?!" He boomed.

"Nope, there not." I answered.

The man knead me in the stomach, knocking all the air out of my lungs and making me double over in pain.

"Then where are they?!" He yelled.

He was just about to kick me when Seth unfolded his wings and flew over at lightning speed, knocking the man away from me and to the ground where Seth was holding him by the throat.

"Don't you fucking touch him." He growled.

With in seconds, the soldier guarding me had the barrel of his gun pressed painfully hard against the side of my head and all the soldiers around pointed their guns at Seth.

"Let him go or I blow his brains out!" The soldier shouted.

Seth glanced back at me and his glare faltered. I felt lightheaded for a split second and the images of a gun firing flashed through my mind and then Seth folded his wings back and released the man who promptly got up and dusted himself off.

The man's bodyguards quickly got between them and forced Seth back a few meters at gunpoint.

"You have orders to shoot if he tries anything like that again." The man told the soldier holding me down.

Seth tensed a little but did not move. I really wanted to get my face out of the sand but the soldier refused to move the gun from my head.

The man looked at Seth, then me, then Tyler for a few more seconds before smiling evily.

"Cuff him and put him into he helicopter, he is riding with me." He instructed pointing at me.

The soldier pulled out a pair of handcuffs from a pocket on his pants and forced my hands behind my back before cuffing me a little too tightly. He pulled me up to my feet as if a weighted nothing and shoved me towards the machine.

"What's going on? Why am I being arrested?" I asked but my only answer was a mumbled keep walking and a shove with the barrel of the gun pressed to my back.

We got to the engine and the soldier told me to get in where he cuffed my feet to the floor with shackles that where lying there and tied the security belts around my chest, trapping me in the seat. Once he was done, he took a step back and pointed his gun at me once again, not moving even an inch, awaighting his next orders.

I looked over his head and Seth and Tyler were both being handcuffed both on their feet and hands. They where dragged away to a truck as the man started walking towards us. He stopped midway and turned back to Seth. He said something a could not hear and pointed at me and I could only assume he had threatened my life yet again.

Once he arrived at the helicopter, he quickly got in followed by his two bodyguards and buckled himself in. The helicopter started and I looked at the site one more time. Seth and Tyler were both pushed into separate trucks and securely locked in but none of the others who where present on the scene where dragged along, leaving Rachel and Charles to finish arranging the return home of all the workers and equipment.

"Don't worry, we will take good care of them, and you of course, but especially them. And we won't touch any of your employees." The man shouted over the sound of the rotors.

The helicopter slowly lifted of the ground and we where off, flying back to god knows where.

"Oh! I almost forgot." The man yelled.

He pulled a small case out from under the seat and opened it. There where ten syringes with clear liquid in them arranged neatly in two rows in the case. He grabbed one and pulled the cap off before turning to me. My eyes widened and I shook my head, trying to move as far away from him as my restraints allowed me to. He grinned evilly at me and grabbed a handful of my hair, forcing my head to the side before sticking the needle into my neck and injecting me with its contents.

He pulled it out and released my head. I straightened myself up and blinked a few times as my vision started blurring. A feeling of numbness spread through my body, my eyes getting heavy and my head bobbing up and down as I fought to stay awake. I shook my head violently,  hopping to keep myself awake but the more I struggled to keep my eyes open the more they seemed to close. My head lolled forward as all strength left me and I was just barely awake anymore.

"I'm surprised your still awake. This stuff usually knocks people out in seconds flat. Guess your taugher then you look kid. Better take a good long look at the sun, you ain't gonna be seeing much of it where we are going." He said and with that, I lost my battle for consciousness and fell into oblivion.

Visions of horror where displayed in front of my eyes, each one more horrible then the last. Visions of human experiments and torture to dissectation of Seth or Tyler while they where still alive, screaming for me to help them as I stood not far away but utterly powerless to help them.

Despair sank into my heart and wrapped itself around my mind, tormenting me as I was forced to watch Seth and Tyler die over and over again in various horrendous ways until I was at last dragged into the same dark room as last time, locking me in with my own feelings until I would next wake up.
