Chapter 9

Will drove with shaking hands to the mansion, where Desmond lived. Will was still struggling to believe what had just transpired. Had he really just forcefully shoved a harmful drug down his OWN wife's throat? And shes a FBI agent, that's gonna have serious consequences.

Im so screwed. So screwed. Will thought over and over.

Will drove up to the mansion, he looked over at his unconscious wife. Her body was shaking and twitching. The nightmare had already started.

"I'm so sorry Jayje." Will whispered, a small tear fell down his pale cheek.

Once again, he scooped up his unconscious wife and made the dreadful walk to the front of the mansion. Beware signs littered the yard, as well as multiple colored stains covered the exterior of the old mansion. Even teenagers didn't dare enter the forbidden place, and with good reason, if they do. . .bad things. Will shivered at the horrible memories. Being Desmond's right hand man was not an easy job.

Will was trying to look on the bright side. No more secrets to hide from his wife. Brownie points with Desmond for bringing her in early. And. . .that was it. Those were the only "pros" he could think of. And they weren't much.

Will entered the mansion and headed straight for Desmond's quarters. When he reached his specified room, Will was sweating, not only from carrying the dead weight of his unconscious wife, but that he had a sinking feeling that things were not going to go well, it was making him very nervous.

Will lightly knocked on the door, as always, it was immediately opened.

"Hello, young one. What are you doing here?" Desmond spoke first.

"Things didn't go well with the drugs." Will said honestly, he sat JJ down in an old nearby chair, and propped her sleeping body just right so she wouldn't fall.

"I see." Desmond said, turning his chair and eyeing JJ.

"What should I do?" Will asked.

"We need to wake her up, then we must hypnotize her, she can't know anything that happened tonight." Desmond said.

"How do we do that?"

Desmond walked over to JJ, he stood above her limp body, staring. After a moment he kneeled down, so their faces were even. Will watched intently. A second later, Desmond's lips were on JJ's.

"Hey!" Will shouted, lunging for Desmond.

An unseen force stopped him from ever reaching his destination. The force took him to the ground.

"You mustn't mess with the natural balance."

"That's my wife." Will growled. "You're messing up the natural balance."

Desmond ignored him and finished his "ceremony".

A minute later, JJ woke up with a gasp.

Will ran to her side and grabbed her hand.

"Hey Jayje." Will said with a small awkward smile.

"Will? What the hell?" JJ said and ripped her hand out of his grasp.

"Hello, beautiful." Desmond said, staring straight into JJ's brilliant blue eyes.

"You were in my dream." JJ said with a look of shock.

She straightened herself out in the chair and tried to push herself away from his deformed body.

"Indeed. I have waited a long time for this glorious moment." Desmond grabbed both her hands and held them between his own.

"What's happening? Am I still dreaming?"

"This a reality. A reality you will come to know and love. William, give out guest a tour and explain what we run." Desmond said and released his grip.

"We?" JJ asked in shock.

Will regretfully nodded his head.

"That's why you were leaving in the middle of the night, you were coming here, and why you were drugging me." JJ said.

"Im sorry JJ." Will said and reached for her hand once more.

She moved it before he could even touch her.

"Don't." JJ glared back.

JJ stood up and followed Will out of the room. She immediately recognized the hallway.

"This was in my dream too." JJ muttered.

"Listen - " Will started.

"You kidnapped me." JJ bluntly cut him off.

"I had to." Will said.

"Telling me what's happening. Right now."

"This is my second home. Desmond is my, excuse me, our ruler."

"Our?"

"My brothers and sisters."

"You're an only child."

"You don't understand, let me show you." Will gently guided her down the hallway and into another room.

The room was full of desks, it looked just like a classroom. Several people sat at each of the desks and listened intently to their teacher.

"This is the training room. Once they are completely trained they will be my full brothers' and sisters'."

"You're talking really weird, Will." JJ said, fear crept into her voice.

"You will understand everything in due time."

"That's why you kidnapped me? To train me?"

"Precisely."

"Are you stupid? You know I'm just going to tell my team."

"You're missing a vital part of this whole organization - "

"You mean cult." JJ bluntly cut Will off again.

Will paused then began to carry on as if nothing happened, "we use hypnosis. Meaning these people are in a. . .trance. They are so deep into hypnosis, they don't even know what they're doing, with conditioning, these people will be unstoppable."

"Will, these are innocent people."

"Don't worry Jayje, when we take them out of hypnosis, at the end of every night, they don't even remember the night prior. And if they do, they believe it's just a dream."

JJ glared skeptically.

"You won't be able to tell your team." Will stated.

"And why's that?"

"Your training starts tonight. You won't even remember."


Yep. Things are getting good. Intensity is a comin. . .please leave a review. It's the best motivation EVER.
