He held out his hands and was able to create a portal for me to enter back through to hell. Not the literal hell - just my version of it.
"Go and find your answer, and all I foretold before will come true," he said.
I stepped through the portal and hoped for the best.
When I arrived, everything was still as it should have been. I sensed someone near me, but I could not see anyone. The next thing I knew, I was stuffed into a sack and kidnapped to the person's heart's content.
I felt a huge thud to my entire left side and I finally stopped moving. Feeling weaker than usual, I just stopped and tried to breathe.
I suddenly noticed my hands. They were glowing red. Odd, I thought. I didn't know I could see my aura like this.
Then I thought about the stories Vinny would always tell me about someone with supernatural powers. Were those really a fantasy, or were they for real?
I decided to give it my best shot to get out of this trap, powers or not. As I grabbed one of the seams, I noticed a finger spark a flame.
No way, I thought. This is too cool. Well, at least I know I can escape from this damn thing.
When I was able to get out of the bag, I found myself in a basement, not knowing of the circumstances ahead.
There was a small wooden door with a mail slot in the far corner. The mail slot opened, and a pair of eyes were now watching me.
"Alright, kid," the guy behind the door said. "Get up against the wall."
As ordered, I went up against the wall. From inside the wall, chains came out and tied my arms and legs to the wall.
I noticed the white glow on the cuffs. These things must be charmed, I thought as I tried to break them open.
"Now, I know you're gonna get lonely in there, kid. So, I decided to give you a roommate - for now." He opened the door and tossed Conan into the room. "I'll let you off the chains if you promise not to escape."
I nodded, and I just decided to drop to the floor and stay there. I was never getting out of here, anyway.
Conan came over to me in silence. "Are you okay?"
"No, I'm not," I told him. "Everything is just falling apart now. I might never see my family again, Conan." I felt the tears come back to me since they've been gone for so long.
I walked away from Conan and sat myself in another corner of the room while I heard two more people getting tossed into the room.
"Get me out of here!" I heard Ally yell as she tried to break herself free. Her heel was able to rip the bag apart and she was slowly but surely getting out of the bag.
In the other, Dustin was trying to push the rubber tieing the bag together - with no luck. Conan had to pull him out after getting rid of the band. Dustin went over to hold onto Ally, who seemed scared to be in here. He held her close and took her over to me.
"Could you guys give him some distance?" Conan asked. "He has to sort this out on his own."
Ally ignored him and came over to me with a bowl. Whether it was empty or not I couldn't tell.
"Here's some food that bastard left in here for us to eat," she told me, handing me the bowl. "I know it's only rice, but I'm sure it's fine with you."
"Thanks," I managed to say. "You're too good to me, Ally."
I saw her blush. "Aww, Si..."
An idea clicked in my head. "Guys, I need to show you something..."
I stood up, brushing myself off. Rubbing my hands, I was able to make my aura show again. I placed my hands on the table, and I was able to set the table on fire. Scaring the heck out of everyone in the room was not what I had originally planned, but it was what I ended up doing. I gathered up enough energy to put the fire out just as fast as I lit it up.
I felt the chains grab my arms and legs.
Crap, I thought, realizing I was in pain - and I couldn't wake up.
