Chapter four
Ben awoke to find himself in a small room full of hooks and chains. Looking down at his body he realized his id mask was gone, his glow lighting up the room. He also realized, his head no longer hurt from hitting the wall earlier and that the last thing he remembered was Albedo and- Ambrose!
He shot to his feet and looked around reverently for the other Majesdanian. Nothing. He was alone. He looked around and found the door, a giant mess of welded metal. He was literally sealed in. He examined the walls only to realize they were made of the same material as the door. Oh well. Nothing he couldn't blast his way out of. Hopefully.
"Here goes."
He drew light into both hands and slammed it full force into the wall. His eyes widened as the blasts bounced off the wall and slammed into his chest, throwing him across the room.
He sat up and groaned." Ouch. Wasn't expecting that." He glanced at the wall and frowned with confusion." What are these walls made of?"
Glancing down at his chest he grimaced and winced. There was a huge smoking burn coating his entire chest and throbbing painfully. He gasped ,as he shifted to stand, and collapsed, entire body shuddering. He choked back a scream and collapsed against the wall, arms around his burnt torso. His whole body was beginning to go numb and he could hear the throbbing of his heart, thundering in his chest. As his vision blackened and he slipped into unconsciousness he whispered softly.
"I hate evil twins…"
Kevin Stared at his phone and sighed. He had to tell Ben. He had to let him know. It was killing him. He dialed the younger boy's number and growled when he didn't answer. He growled and hung up, not bothering to leave a message.
"Ughhh…why doesn't he ever answer when it's important?", he asked the air, grabbing his car key's and heading out to the car.
He got in and closed his eyes, giving himself a mental pep talk. He had to tell him. He couldn't stand hiding it away like some filthy secret. Ben would be okay with it even if he didn't return the older teen's feelings. Right?
He opened his eyes and started the car, slowly driving to Ben's house, trying to keep his courage. The moment he pulled up he knew something was wrong. The light's were off and the curtains drawn. He shot out of the car and ran to the door, shocked to find it unlocked. Opening the door quickly he rushed inside and called out for the younger teen.
" Benji! Benji!"
When his cries garnered no response he tore through the house only to stop in the hall where Ben's phone lay broken on the floor. He moved to the phone and grabbed it up, eyes wide with concern.
"Benji…", He whispered softly.
Gwen cried out as another blast of darkness slammed into her, the energy just enough to burn, but not enough to knock her unconscious. Edric snarled at her and slammed another blast into her chest.
"Just tell me what I want to know and I'll stop.", he whispered.
She growled, forcing mana into her eye's and causing them to glow. "Never!"
He frowned and nodded to the guards posted inside the room." Such a shame…"
As he left the room screams could be heard coming from inside and a dark mist leaked out the bottom of the door. He grinned maliciously and glanced back for a moment.
One hour later
"Kevin calm down. Getting worked up won't do anything.", Max said quickly, sharing concerned glances with Helen, Manny, and Pierce.
The enraged Osmosian slammed his fists against the wall of Ben's house, shaking the pictures on it ." No! First Gwen, now Ben! I'ma Kill somebody."
Manny put a strong arm on his shoulder to stop him from hitting the wall again." Well, how bout we found the sucker who did it and you can kill him?"
Kevin Nodded, still fuming." Okay. Point me at 'em and get outta my way."
"O-kay...", Helen began, ready to go through the long list of people who'd kidnap Ben for any reason. It was a very long list. Pierce and Max moved to help her, leaning over Max's laptop.
As they began to discuss the most likely suspects they were interrupted by Max's phone, which he answered abruptly. In seconds his face fell and he frowned.
"Thanks' Charlie.", he said hanging up and turning to them." Bad news. Ambrose and Albedo escaped."
Albedo sat lazily in a desk chair, eyes on the metal door before him. "So if I understand what you are saying, The lack of sunlight will eventually make him weak and powerless, then we shall kill him?"
"Basically…yes.", Ambrose said grinning." Everybody wins…as long as his hard-headed comrade or the Anodite don't come to help him."
Albedo frowned." Chances are high that they will. It's been proven several times in the past."
"Yes, well, I think a Majesdanian and a half-Majesdanian can handle it.", Ambrose said smiling cruelly at Albedo.
" I won't be like this for long. The moment he dies I shall return to being a Galvin. This body is absolutely disgusting, Half-Majesdanian or not."
Ambrose nodded and turned his attention back to the alien tech metal door, a small sadistic smile gracing his lips.
"Such a shame."
Tada's! Read and reviews! Waddaya think? I lurv da angry Kevin. Grrrrr! Rawr!
