The Dark Ones

Part 15

Chapter 25 - Epilogue

"Guess who's here?.." Was said in a patronising and creepy tone by a familiar voice "..I brought some friends with me, They're very upset about what you did to my arm Shane and they want payback!.." In an instant, the entire room was flooded with thugs, I'd say at best around 60,000 they strung Connor and the others up on a low hanging balcony by their arms so they could watch as their leader was brutalised.. If you couldn't tell already the voice was Luke, who else would be out for blood when they get treated like a piece of meat in the presence of a wolf.. let's face it.. he got chewed the fuck up, his arm ripped off and thrown against every wall in the casino, so obviously he's gonna walk in with a fresh apple pie and they'll all be bessie mates.. if that's the ending you're looking for, you're reading the wrong story.

Luke ordered Shane to be put on his knees with his hands tied behind his back so he wouldn't move, the sick bastard loomed over the madman and spoke..

"Well.. I'm very disappointed in you Shane, you barely put up a fight, it's almost like.. you wanted me to capture you, *maniacal laughter* , but now I get to have my fun with you all.. the only problem is.. who to start with!?.." He said with a grin of a lunatic and insane laughter, it seems losing his arm was the tipping point on his mental health, but alas "..I suppose we're even now Shane? Right? After what I did to your eye?! Then you go and tear off my arm!? Doesn't that make us even!? Although I would much rather it, I'll save you until last, so you can watch your friends be brutalised then YOU get the shit kicked out of you. How does that sound? Old friend?" Shane looked up at Luke with a fierce look and spat in his face.. (If you weren't paying attention when Shane actually ran into Connor on the night of the star, Shane had one white eye (right eye) and one black eye (left eye). Now I don't mean black as in bruised, literally a black eye, the sclera was black (google it).. and the colour of his iris' is purple.. just a heads up) ..Shane then spoke up..

"I only look like this because of you! You stabbed me in the eye while I was going to kill your father after he killed mine.. and now you look like that because of me, you hurt my friends and payed the price, I ripped off your arm like a wild animal.. and enjoyed watching you suffer. You deserve it after splitting The Elementals apart, the people of your Element are nothing but war criminals who deserve death! We lived in peace, until you fucked it all up.. Light has to ruin everything.. that's why.." He started getting louder ".. WE PREFER TO LIVE IN THE SHADOWS!!" Shane lowered his head again and fell silent, he turned his head slightly so he could see the others out of the corner of his eye, the only one to make eye contact was Connor.. he realised what he could do. He looked around and saw that none of the lights were actually on, so they were practically coated in darkness, he started moving to get the attention of the others. The others was already distraught and looked over at Connor, who looked like a fish out of water, flopping about all over the place, the others looked over at him disapprovingly, when he realised he had their attention he sank into the shadows and out of captivity, the others caught on and did the same, they sank into the shadows and reappeared behind the groups of thugs that had tied them up in the first place, nobody else had the guts to say anything to get Luke's and the thugs' attention except Connor, he made sure his voice was loud so everyone could hear it.. he sank back into the shadows and arose on a high balcony, cleared his throat and started talking..

"Y'know, just a word of advice, use stronger rope.. it makes sure that your prisoners stay where they are.. the brand of rope you were using has some really bad reviews on Yelp so I would consider branching out.." Connor looked down at the psycho dressed in white and gave him a smirk that says it all "..or maybe don't put The Dark Ones in a dark room! There's a thought!" in an instant, the others emerged from the shadows standing with Connor, looking ready to pull off a badass fight scene. With the looks that were being given to Luke, Mitch piped up with an idea, something that happens very rarely let me tell you, he thought it would be a good one to share..
