Hi, I'm Mai Tanyiama. A few years ago I worked at SPR and discovered I had some psychic powers of my own thanks to my family there. About two years ago the group disbanded and Naru left me at the airport as he flew back to England. Shortly after that I went out and got a new job where one of my clients realized I had abilities and wanted to help me work on them. If only I had known what he was truly after…
It started out with normal… well… normal for testing psychic abilities, testing. I was asked if I could move things without touching them and he measured my brain waves. About a month after testing in Japan with some improvements I thought I was doing great.
He didn't.
One night he offered me a ride back to my apartment, and that's not where I ended up…
"AGH!" I cried out. That hurt you bastard.
"We are going to work on summoning spirits today." He said as he walked around me with that whip I have learned to hate.
Every time he wanted my attention or I did something wrong I was hurt… It's been like that for about two years. When I'm allowed to shower I can feel all the scars left on me over the years. I don't even know if anyone knows I'm missing, I left school after SPR disbanded and I didn't stay in touch with anyone either… Maybe someone will find us one day. Yes, us. There is another person down here too. I've heard him sometimes and I know he has been down here a lot longer than I have been.
"… So you think you can do it?"
I smirked in my head; yea I could as much as I hated doing it. I chanted some words that were beaten into me and summoned the spirits in the area to the basement of wherever the hell I am. I could hear them screaming to be let go, he could only see them. He laughed and left me alone with the spirits. After he left I cleansed them and sent them on their way. Even though he was a bad person I wasn't going to be changed because of him.
I fell asleep after food was forced into me and I knew I wasn't going to be bothered for at least a few hours.
"Gene?"
"Yes Mai?
I ran up and hugged him crying.
"I've missed you so much, I thought you moved on… I haven't seen you in years!"
"I know, I've been recovering. I'm still alive, but only barely."
"I understand that…" I've felt barely alive for a while…
"Mai, You know that boy down there with you…? That's me…"
…. what.
THWACK! I nearly came down to my knees with that hit. The only thing supporting me are my arms tied up on this pole.
"I didn't say sleep. I guess it's time for a sleep deprivation test."
Naru POV
"Would you like some tea Oliver?" Lin asked.
"Sure." I kept searching though my files. Mai has been missing for just over two years now. I just had to find her. I found Gene, I can't just leave someone out there. She has no family.
Someone came into the office and was worried as most of our clients are.
"My name is Patrick Danvers and I need help. My warehouse has been having paranormal activity… I think my manager is summoning spirits there."
