The Mistake | Colby Brock

Chapter Thirty-One-Brainwash

Jordan's pov
   "Wait... what? you want me to what now?" A thousand thoughts swam through my head. We aren't even together, and he wants me to move in with him? What if David finds out we're living together and targets them? What about Reggie and Cassie? My heart rate picked up and i started panicking. My vision coming in and out of focus like i was trapped. Similar feeling to when i was living in the lab. That rush, the anxiety. The shock. I pulled my knees to my chest, attempting to calm myself down. But it wasn't working. I felt a dark presence, i wasn't even sure if Colby was still here. It was like my whole mind was filled with darkness. I tried to scream, i tried to move. But i was stuck. Like i was in a infinite black hole. I look up to a bright light at the end of a white walled hall. Tile filled the floor and i immediately knew where i was in my mind. The lab. "N-no i'm not here, it's not real." I cried grabbing my head in my hands. I knew i wasn't here, but it felt too real to not believe it. "Oh you're here alright." I heard the voice i hated all my life from all around me, echoing. "What do you want from me?" I screamed pulling my hair. "Oh it's quite simple really..." i heard his voice right at my ear but i didn't dare look up. "You." He whispered as i sobbed "i gave you everything i had, my family, my life, my hope! What else do you want?" I screamed making the walls shake. "Oh doll, i never wanted that, that was just my guilty pleasure... you see, you're powerful. You have way more power than you think. You made me young, healthy. You were keeping me alive, you all were! But with time people fade, they lose color, energy almost. But you didn't, you're infinite almost. And you escaped!" His voice boomed startling me. If i was scared of anything it was of him, and only because he didn't hesitate to kill my parents. But he hesitated with me, so i'll never know when he'll do it. "It's mostly my fault, for trying to kill you... oopsies. But now that i know where you are. I want you back. You're mine. I marked YOU, you can't run, and even if you did already, it wasn't far enough. And i'm already here." He whispered in my ear, waking me from the trance i was in, my eyes flashed. I shook awake, noticing i'm still on the hill, Colby holding me. I coughed and turned to my side, blood pouring from my mouth and nose. Colby soothed me, shushing me and holding my hair back. Once i was done i faced him, i knew my nose was bad, but it was the least of my worries. "Are you okay? What was that?" He asked in worry, but making sure not to scream. I loved how he was always thinking about how i would feel even in a time or crisis. I was about to answer when i remembered he said he was here. I stood up, groaning and grabbing my head. "Woah, woah, take it slow, please. You just had a vision i think, you're okay. But you'll strain yourself like that." He grabbed me by my shoulders holding me in place as his words flew out a thousand a second, but i still understood. I shook my head but I walked my smaller figure to his tall one. "You gotta listen to me, you're not safe. Trust me." I felt like fainting. I'm surprised i didn't actually, but i felt myself leaning back. Colby quickly grabbed me and straightened me. "Not with you like this." He whispered, holding me. Just then, i heard someone, or something in the bushes next to us. We both cocked our head to it, in curiosity. But i already knew it was either Reggie or David. I blocked Colby with one of my arms, getting into a position ready to strike. "Did you bring anyone? Jordan i asked you to come alone." Colbys voice boomed behind me. "What?! Of course i didn't. I didn't purposely bring anyone. But someone probably followed." I sighed leaning back to push Colby. He pressed on the side of his ear and listened. "Yea no, i know Bren! I'm dealing with it." What the fuck? He clicked it again, turning his ear piece off i guess. I shoved him with my hands making him stumble back. "You made someone listen to me? Why? Do you not trust me?" My voice cracked in anger and annoyance. "Listen.. it was only a precaution i had to take. You left once, i didn't know if you were going to pull anything-" I cut him off "oh so let's just spy on me right? Because i'm just on the list of girls you toy with." I was filled with anger, and i couldn't stop myself. "What?! No. You're not just a girl, it's different Jordan.." He tried to grab my hand but i stood back. "And to think, i was just trusting you again, i guess i'm just another girl on the list." I shook my head and just as he was about to speak up i heard a familiar ringing in my ears. It was what Reggie used to tell me he was near. So it was Reggie in the bushes. Colby tried to stand in front of me but i held him still with my hand, glueing him to the ground. "Jordan?" He tried to move but it was useless. I turned back to the busses and yelled. "I'm handling it! Thanks!" I knew He could hear me. "What? Jordan!" Colby yelled from a few feet away from me. "Shut it!" I screamed, turning my head slightly. I turned back to the bushes and held my hand out, holing Reggie in place. "Why'd you follow me? I didn't ask you to." I asked. "Jor.." I heard him gasping for air and i brought my other hand out and starting drawing a circle in that area. "Colby, i need you to act calm, you're about to meet someone you haven't seen in forever. Don't freak out, and don't try and run. Got it?" I asked turning to him. He just nodded and didn't say anything. I drew another circle above me so he would land safely. I took a deep breath and let go of my tension. Which meant letting go of Reggie and Colby. I heard him yelp and fall through my portal. He hit the floor pretty hard making an 'oof' sound. I helped him up and wiped my nose, smudging my fresh blood. I held Colby with the motion of my hand, "Colby.. meet Reggie. Reggie meet Colby. I'm guessing you already know each other. This is Jakes brother." I pointed to Reggie looking at Colby. "What? No... Reggie died. A few years back..." He trailed off and i rolled my eyes. "But do you know HOW he died?" I asked and Reggie waved. "Oh don't be like that Reggie! Talk!" I shoved him and he spoke up. "Hey Colby..." Colby looked in shock. "How- What?" I sighed and laid down, still holding Colby. "When i left, he found me. Asked for help in return for food, shelter, stuff like that. How do you think i survived all that time?" I looked at Reggie ever so slightly , and saw a small red flash in his eyes, then went back to normal quickly. Not even Colby saw it. What the fuck? I didn't feel any negative energy, just Reggie. Same old Reggie. I touched his should, weirdly making him flinch. I looked at him weird then to Colby, hoping he could read my eyes that were slightly scared. "Yea just a friend to friend thing." I said looking at Colby. I think he took the hint because he slightly nodded "oh okay, well Reggie, how'd you find Jordan?" Reggie thought about it for a second before answering. "I hacked into the A.P.P , found the last place she was located, and tracked her from here." I turned my head a bit. "I have a tracker on me? Did you know about this Colby?" I loosened my grip on him slightly. "Not that i know of, you know i wouldn't purposely do that J." His voice was soft, like he was taking this better than expected. He was scared though. I could feel it. "Fucking David." I mumbled and turned my back to the boys that were staring intensely at each other. I knew David would be dumb enough to put it in my tooth or neck. I felt my pulse on my neck trying to find an out of order beep.. nothing. I checked my mouth, searching all the way back to my teeth and front. Nothing. What the hell? I grabbed the other side of my neck, focusing hard on trying to find anything. Beep Beep Beep. Bingo. I held that spot with my hand, holding the chip in place with my fingers pinched around it. I turned back to Reggie and Colby, that where still saying nothing. Just looking at each other weirdly. They stopped right when i dragged my attention to them. "I found it!" I smiled hugely at them. I say Colby give a soft smile and heard Reggie chuckle. "How are you gonna get it out?" Reggie asked turning to me. "Well... i was thinking," i really wasn't, just acting in the moment. I swiftly moved my hand up and to me. Knowing i pulled Reggies gun out of his pocket, they gasped. Colby lunged at me but i held him still. "Jeez you almost scared me Colby, almost." I winked and smiled at him showing worry. "You're gonna shoot yourself?!" Reggie sped to me, but i teleported right on time, to behind him and locking him in place with my eyes. "It's actually not that bad, i'll be fine." I chuckled and made sure the gun was loaded. Three bullets... weird. I turned the safety off and pulled the chip as far out of my neck as i could. "Jordan, there's another way, there always is." Colby said at me making me roll my eyes. "This.. thing has been in me for too long. That's probably how he found me in the first place. Now will you please let me just-" I was cut off by a tear sliding down Reggies cheek, i turned my head to the side "Reggie?" I took a step closer to him and he broke down. He bawled his eyes out, turning red in the cheeks, tears streaming his face. I've never seen someone look so.. lost. "Reggie." I said calmly and placed a hand on his face. I didn't cry, nor did i let my voice crack, not right now. I let Colby go and let the gun drop to my side. "I'm sorry." Reggie choked as he leaned into my hand, i lifted an eyebrow and he placed a hand on my opposite cheek. "He's making me do this." He cried, within a blink of an eye. His hand yanked around my neck.
