Chapter: 10 – The Gathering

Kida and Sam had been taken to the men's headquarters. They locked Sam in a cell at the bottom of the building and had Kida with them in the laboratory.

Kida was on another white bed with many men surrounding her, doing so many things at once.

"Hold her hair!" A man called.

"Tape her mouth shut!"

"Hurry! She'll be waking up any minute!!"

Everyone did as instructed; doing as much as they could before Kida awoke.

"Sir, won't this make her angry, thus causing her to change into a demon?" A man asked Hogan as he stood by Kida's feet.

"Yes, which is why I created these machines," Hogan said, putting his hand on the one on Kida's right side. "You see, in our last encounter with her demon side I noticed that the transformation started at her hands.

So I've attached this machine to her hand so that when the demon tries to come out, tit won't be able to. It'll be trapped between Kida's body and this machine, and soon will be sucked out of her body forever," Hogan explained.

"So you're doing her a favor?" The man asked.

Hogan thought about his statement for a moment. "No. I'm going us a favor."

"Us, sir?"

"Without that demon then we can make her suffer like we planned. We can do what ever we want to her. Even dissect her, to find out what makes her tick!" Hogan announced. "And since this arm is broken and the other one is numbed, she won't be able to force her arms out of the machines."

"Nice one sir," the man said with a smile.

They both turned to Kida as her eyes squeezed.

"Finally," Hogan said with an evil smile.

Kida's eyes opened wide, glad that there was no light beaming down on her like every other time. She immediately got angry and began moving her body; but couldn't move her arms. She couldn't speak, only mumble. Her legs were pinned as well as her chest and waist. She couldn't move.

Hogan walked over to her face.

Kida growled.

"You know, there are certain things that I'm not permitted to do to humans, but fortunately, you're not human," he said, putting on some gloves like a doctor. "And one of those things is doing surgery without putting you to sleep first."

Kida's eyes widened.

Hogan held out his hand as one of his men placed a sharp knife in his hand.

Another man put a blue, paper mask around his nose and mouth and tied it behind his head.

Hogan ripped her shirt down the middle of her stomach. "Wow, you're skinny," he said seeing her stomach moving fast in fright. He looked up at her. "You ready?"

Kida's heart pounded massively loud. Tears stung in her eyes. She knew she was going to die, why try to hide it? She looked up at the ceiling then closed her eyes. She then tightened them as she felt the cold sharpness of the knife hit her stomach, filling pain spread throughout her entire body.

The knife dug deep into her skin until it hit the bone. Being a half demon allows her to survive from severe wounds such as a stab with a sword or a knife, but she probably wouldn't last long after her whole stomach is cut open.

Kida's eyes suddenly burst open; her eyes were like two crystal clear pools of blue. Soon even the whiteness in her eyes turned bright blue.

Her wrists were slightly showing, her hands were in the machine.

The men could see the blue ice trying to pass through her arms but only went into the machine.

"Sir! It's working!" A man called to Hogan.

Hogan stopped what he was doing and looked over at the machine; it was shaking.

"It's overloading sir!"

"Time to Release," Hogan said, walking over to the machine and turned a notch.

A tube that connects the machine to an even bigger machine started glowing blue, as well as the machine holding Kida's left hand.

"The demons is being passed through the tubes into this bigger machine and will soon be forced together and form an energy orb that I can use to increase my own power!" Hogan announced.

"Sir! What's happening!?" A man called.

Hogan looked back at the machine. It was done absorbing the demon, but now it was absorbing something else, something red.

"It looks like the machine is sucking up Kida's energy now! Excellent! That is a discovery I'd never thought I'd make! Now I will be even more powerful!!" Hogan shouted happily.

The machine was sucking the life from Kida! She started fading, darker and weaker.

Her blue eyes disappeared but not back to red, they faded into a bright white, her head tilted to the left. Kida had died.

"Now for the finale!" Hogan shouted as he walked over to the large machine containing all her power.

He detached the cords and stuck them into his body. "Now!! I will have ultimate power!!" He yelled as he pushed the button, draining the power from the machine to himself.

So wut you think!? Awsomeness!! Totally!! WHOO!! Send a review!!
