Chapter 7

"How the hell are we supposed to stop someone who can meddle with your thoughts?"

Jason and Siobhan had been questioning David since they left the base in London. They had arrived in Durham, home of M. Her real name had been well hidden from the press.

"Someone who can play with your mind is dangerous, we can't combat it!" Jason protested

"Well, you two I don't know, but I for one will be safe, there's nothing in my mind she can play with, except the stuff you screwed up long ago Jason,"

"Tell me, has this changed made you exceptionally cocky, or were you always like that?" Siobhan snorted

"Always," Jason replied

"OI!" David snapped, "I was just stating facts, that's all,"

"Sure you were," Siobhan sniggered, "Althea's gonna have a field day with your ego,"

"She'll want to go for Jason's first; his is bigger," retorted David

"It is no...oooooootttttttttt!!!!" Jason screamed as he was flung back sharply by some sort of invisible force. David swung around and fired a massive, streaming blast at a lonely figure behind a set of barrels, but the blast stopped mid-flight, as if it had hit an invisible wall.

"Mind tricks won't work on me," David warned, as M stood out from the barrels,

"I may not be able to alter them," M hissed, "but i can read them..."

"Don't you dare," David warned again, "I'm here to help"

"But what help can you offer?" M sceptically cried, "The last man who offered to help me got me thrown from my home. He left me for dead. He left me alone! And he had sworn to protect us!"

"I'm not here to repeat the actions Morgormir, I'm here to repair the damage, i won't leave you" David promised, but his promises fell on deaf ears to M

"But you're not like me, you're not like any of us! You're fake, you're alien, you're one of them for all i care!"

"I may not have felt the same, but i heard what happened and i swore to protect all of you!" David insisted

"You hear, you don't feel!!!" M screamed, then glared at David with all her might

For a few seconds, David looked to wince in pain, but then his eyes turned the same blue that they did on Bracknell moor when he killed the students. He unleashed an almighty blast of energy, so powerful he seemed to become a yellow and black figure, as the skin, flesh, clothes and Bone slowly faded to reveal this monster, who howled and screamed as M was flew screaming to the ground. Siobhan and Jason watched in horror as M writhed in agony, scolded and drained of almost all life by David, who resumed his original form

"Enough!" David bellowed, "I warned you not to play your mind tricks. That was your last chance, as this is your last opportunity; will you join us?"

M weakly sat up, and stared into David's eyes, then, eventually, croaked, "yes...master"
