FINALLY, it's done!(Well...this part anyway) All I need now is a title, any ideas are welcome.
Part 4
Karnor...Karnor...Why is it so familiar???
It haunted me for weeks, but I had little else to do. Everyone shunned me. If I find him, if it's a person, I wonder if he'll help me.
"DON'T COUNT ON IT" "Who said that?!" There was no one around me. "Who's there?" I searched for anyone in the storage room I was in. Nothing but scrab cakes.
"HE WILL GET YOU, CAIRIN" Wait, I heard of HIM, but where? "THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT THEY WERE SAYING. HE WILL RISE ABOVE ALL, CAIRIN. YOU WILL BEG FOR MERCY"
They can't. But they are reading my mind. How?!? "THAT IS NOT ALL I CAN DO. TRY THIS SLICE"
The pain came from nowhere, like a bomb inside my skin, exploding near my shoulder. "Aaaaghhh!!!" "THINK OF HOW QUITEL FELT! YOU KILLED HIM" What?! I didn't "YOU DID. BY TELLING OF US YOU MADE US KILL HIM. OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT HAVE KILLED HIM"
"You made him insane to save yourself!?!" "YOU MADE US. HE WAS PURE, YOU ARE CORUPT." "How?! What did I do?!" "HE SAW YOU WHEN HE DIED. HE KNEW IT WAS YOU. I SEARCHED THROUGH HIM. I FOUND YOU, CAIRIN. I SAW YOU GIVING HIM INTO THE HANDS OF THE GLUKONS"
"What!! I didn't do anythi-" The pain stuck again, worse this time. I rolled on the ground in an agony that should not have been there. Get out of me! I had to vision of my enemy. I had to grab his mind out of mine.
"ABE IS NOTHING COMPARED TO HIM. YOU CANNOT HOPE F...MERCY" Push it away, PUSH IT AWAY It was helping, he was losing his grip. I found myself shouting: "I WILL NOT FALL TO YOU. I DID NOTHING WRONG. YOU WILL CROUCH TO ME...KARNOR"
I didn't realise until later that night what I had said. Karnor left me alone after that, well at least for that day. I tried to mumble or scatter my thoughts to hide myself, how many could read me??? Karnor was wrong, but who else would he tell?
How many thought I was to blame for 2 or 3 deaths?!
I knew one think: I had to find Karnor. Was he the leader of the ten that were still alive and trying to escape?
A few days passed, and no one tried to possess me. Everyone looked suspicious to me, I was going insane.
I became paranoid, even the sligs could tell. The tended to whisper when I came near, or walk behind me to really piss me off. One good thing was they didn't beat me as much as they used to.
I was sweeping a corridor the next time someone entered me.
"CAIRIN, I WISH TO HELP YOU" Not again!!! LEAVE ME NOW
"NO, YOU WILL COME TO ME"
Pain engulfed my whole body. I couldn't try to escape his hold, all I could think of was the pain. I blacked out.
It stopped. I had been moved to another area, I didn't know where. There was a cell in front of me, with a single mudokon inside. He had a metal belt twisted around his chest, making him breath short heavy breaths.
"You...ca...to...hel...me...Cai......I...nee...you" He kept stopping to breath in.
Poor sod. He can't even TALK with that thing on his body
"Ple...hel...me......Le...me...in...you"
What??? "Cairin, help me to escape. I'll save you if you help. Please, let me become you." GET OUT!!!
I stumbled to the side, I could feel him shift out of me, then float back in. "You must help!" No! But this will stop you.
I stepped quickly to the side and punched where my chest was a moment ago.
"N..." I winded him, if that was possible. He had to struggle just to gasp like he used to.
"C...you...can...t...do...t" He stopped trying to speak, concentrating on breathing instead. It was then I knew who he was!
"Demrof! It's you, isn't it!?"
"Es......please...the...out...si..d...nee...me"
"Outside? What do you mean? Did some escape!?"
"No......I...have...co...d......nee...to...sen...mes...age......I....sho...you"
He entered my mind again, slower this time, making sure I allowed it. He showed me his past, all the rebellious. "No", I said in disbelief.
I thought there were around 15! There was a huge group, at least 50 all standing around...
HIM
