Forced to hurt

chapter 4

All of the guild leaders, except for Brandon, were staring at Ritchie in surprise. He had just told him about his dreams and how he has reason to believe that they're not just dreams, but they're real.

''So you mean to tell me, that you believe you're counterpart from this world, who has tried to attack and kill you more than once, is being forced to do it by Brandon's counterpart, who is also abusive towards him, just because of some dreams?'' Ritchie nodded sheepishly while Michael sighed at his boyfriend.

''You're more than likely correct about that, seeing as this has happened more than once, it's always different, and how you said it felt real and something in your gut was agreeing, than it's very likely to be true.'' Ritchie sent a sad smile towards his boyfriend, not being able to help feel worried about his counterpart.

''So what should we do?'' Everyome turned towards Silver, before Brandon spoke.

''Keep an eye out. Capture any of our counterparts when given the opportunity but make sure we don't injure them. Than we can question them about Ritchie's counterpart. We need to make sure that Ritchie's dreams weren't actually dreams before we do anything else. After we confirm that they weren't just dreams, we can decide what to do from there.'' Everyone agreed to Brandon's plan before going off their separate ways, except for Ritchie and Michael who said they needed to talk.

Ritchie told his brother that he would most likely be staying with Michael for the night and that he would contact him if there is any change in plans.

Michael looked at his boyfriend before pulling him into a hug. Ritchie instantly hugged back, burying his face into Michael's shoulder. They stayed like that in silence for a few moments before separating. Michael looked at his boyfriend before speaking.

''If those dreams are accurate, than we'll help him...'' Ritchie looked at Michael with sadness in his vision.

''I know... but I still can't help it...'' Ritchie looked down.

''I just know that he's suffering... this whole time he's been forced to do bad things and he's suffering because of it...'' Michael sighed before grabbing Ritchie and shadow travelling them to his house.

He brought Ritchie to a living room before sitting on the couch and pulling Ritchie into his side. Michael turned on a movie and they cuddled together for the rest of the night.

Somewhere else

Brandeen was sound asleep while Rian was bately conscious from the day's torture. He smiled slightly in his injured state, somehow knowing that someone wanted to save him from his daily torture...
He than made a promise to himself before slipping into unconsciousness.

That promise was to keep his hope until he does get saved, and to not give in...

Remember to always try and have a good day/night. Bye wolf pups
