Lethal Elite

Chapter 8 : Pain

Pain,

     Pain was something that I wasn't quite used to until now. I thought that when I got one of my rotten teeth pulled out a long time ago as a little girl, that would be the last of my pain. But the truth is, it was only the beginning.

As I fell deeper and deeper into the water, the burning sensation tickled my arm hairs as the heat seeped into my pores slowly. I was drowning, I was drowning in all of my pain, my hate, and my sorrows. I was paying my debts and my do's all because of the decisions my parents made when I was younger. They were the ones that should be in the memory defibrillator burning because of it, not me. This was hands down the worst pain I ever felt in my life. Not one ounce of any mental or physical pain I've ever felt could top this, but yet I just laid there on the table as if I felt nothing but the water burning my lungs as it flew threw my nostrils.

"You did this!" Pete shouted as he made his way over to Sebastian who was being hemmed up against the wall by Nico and his men.

Avery then stopped Pete in his tracks before he could reach Sebastian. "Stop it!" he yelled. "Before you make matters even worse"

At this point of time, half of Sebastian's men were knocked out and the other half were just confused on what they were fighting for, so they were no longer a match for Nico and his men. As Sebastian's men returned conscious, they all began gathering their guns and pointing them at Pete, Nico, Avery, Blue, Speedo, Robert, and Mike all at once.

"Woah there," Nico said calmly.

"Haven't we already shed enough blood?"

"Shut up and let him go!" One of the men yelled.

"You know we can't do that," Speedo said quickly.

"Yeah and besides," Nico continued.

"Why would you want us to let someone go who's been lying to you the whole time."

Sebastian's men then looked at each other seriously before they continued listening to Nico's rant.

"Lying about what?" they asked.

"Everything! Haven't you been listening?" Nico shouted as he stared Sebastian in the eye.

"Let me guess," Nico said as he softly approached the men.

"he found most of you at the weakest point in your life. He found most of you, when you were weak and struggling. He found most of you when you were looking to be found the most."

"He promised you all the world, because he could literally give it to you. I mean, am I right?" Nico asked as they all just watched him pace back and forth while he spoke.

"So then you agreed to make a deal with him, based off of new hopes and wishes. But what you didn't know was that you were making a deal with the devil. Based on false dreams and promises."

"He manipulated all of you into making a deal with him so that he could trap you here as prisoners! This isn't a facility that was made to help and train you, this is a jail created to trap and control you!"

"Prove it!" One of the men shouted.

"Yeah," another man chimed in. "If this is all true, then why have you been here helping him this whole time?"

"Do you really need much proof?" Speedo interrupted.

"I mean just look around," he continued. "How many times were you actually allowed to do something freely here without his say so or permission?" he said while pointing at Sebastian.
