Chapter 4

The collector walked over to where Jack was pinned.

"No, " said Jack as he began to struggle again. Lothos grinned. "String him up brother dear," he said and Alanya let go of him. Jack fell in a heap to the floor and then without even touching him, Alanya picked him back up and chained his hands to the ceiling of what Jack now knew as a large room.

"Damn," said Lothos. "Always did want to be able to do that. So tell me Alanya, do you want this one or Sam?"

Alanya looked at Jack and then back to Lothos. "I'll let you have Sam. Me and Jack have some old business to take care of. You can try this one out for me if you want to though."

Lothos nodded. "Fine with me." He began to circle Jack. "I'm thirsty Jack and hungry, but this time I will become a part of you. I was going to enter you just like I did Victor, but Alanya will control you. He will enter you. You're going to help us kill your friends."

"I am not going to do that," replied Jack and threw his mind at Lothos shoving him backwards two full steps. Lothos grinned. "You're powers are getting stronger. That's good. We can have more fun that way."

"Stay away from me you freak," said Jack angrily. "Just stay the hell away from me. I will not kill my friends."

"Oh, but you will," said Lothos. "Last time I fed off you, you came real close to killing Tony, remember? You won't have a choice when I do it again."

Jack struggled to get away. He concentrated on the chains that held him and they began to vibrate around his wrist, but before they came loose, Lothos grabbed his head sending fire through his brain. "NO!" cried Jack in agony as the collector continued.

"Stop! Please!" yelled Jack and would have fallen to his knee's if not for the fact that he was chained to the ceiling.

"Don't do this," he yelled. The collector stopped, leaving Jack panting and trying to catch his breathe. Lothos looked at his brother.

"He's very strong Alanya. It may take you a while to possess him."

"Then feed off him Lothos and make him weak and dazed until I can control him," said Alanya and Lothos grinned and looked at Jack who was hanging limply from the ceiling."

"Good idea." He grabbed Jack's shirt and ripped it off with one hand revealing his chest and back.

"I will not let you possess me you son of a bitch," said Jack through clenched teeth. "I beat you once Alanya, and I'll do it again."

Alanya walked over to Jack and grabbed his face in his hand, and forced Jack to look at him. "Oh but you will Jack. You won't have a choice. I'm not asking you for your permission. I'll just take you." Lothos walked around to the back of Jack and placed his hands on his kidney's. Jack screamed in agony and lashed out as pain shot through his back.

"God!" he said and began breathing harder. Lothos went over to a table off to the side and picked up a ceremonial dagger. He walked over to Jack and went behind him. He bent down and whispered in his ear, "I'm hungry Jack."

He walked back around to the front and Jack winced as Lothos made a long cut down the middle of his chest. He began to kick and fight. He concentrated trying hard to loosen the chains. He remembered what he almost done to Tony last time this happened and he didn't want to do it again.

"Get the hell away from me!" yelled Jack but Lothos grabbed his head again. Jack screamed as he felt sharp pains shooting through it. "BE STILL JACK!" yelled Alanya again and grabbed him around the throat.

"NO!" yelled Jack. Alanya squeezed and Jack didn't have a choice. It was either be still, or Alanya would crush his windpipe. He went still. Lothos went down and licked off the blood, then he clamped down and drank. Alanya grinned as Jack gasped and went into a trance. He knealt down and whispered in Jack's ear. "It's just a matter of time." Jack opened his eyes and shot straight up in the bed, crying out.

Tony was coming back up to the house from the pier when he heard Jack scream. He took off running to go check on his friend. He burst through the door.

"Jack!" yelled Tony, running into the living room, but stopped dead in his tracts when he saw him.

"Jack no," said Tony. "Are you ok?" Tony knew he wasn't because he could see it in his eyes.

"Jack, please. Don't do this again," said Tony backing up and raising his hands, palms out.

"Who are you," asked Jack.

"Tony Jack. I'm Tony." Jack stalked toward him. He turned to run for help but Jack used his mind to slam the door shut, trapping him inside with him.

Tony turned back around slowly and swallowed hard. "Jack, where is he?"

"Who," asked Jack.

"The soul collector. Where is he? When did he get a hold of you again. We've all been right here. Jack!" Jack threw Tony up against the wall and pinned him there. He threw him so hard he thought he was going to break his back.

"Answer my question?" said Jack. "Who the hell are you?"

"I already told you Jack. I'm Tony. I'm your friend. Calm down, OK? Think Jack. Focus. Look at me. I'm Tony."
