Chapter 4 4

"Dance on the edge of mystery"

~Alan Cohen

The room is cold and silent and there's Thane in the middle of it taking deep breathes,standing there staring at my lifeless body and basking in the essence of my death.

Too bad I'm about to burst his bubble,I smile at the thought as I stalk my way towards him and without him noticing I peak my head over his shoulder.

"I must be a true work of art, don't you think?"and his fear was so thick that I could taste it

The horror on his face as he stares at me and visibly recoils.

I look around "What?..You saw a ghost?" I asked with a pout as his gaze keeps alternating between me and my now-fading shadow and I laugh

"You really thought you had me!!!" My am I insulted ".. I'm not that easy to get rid of actually and I won't lie, you disappoint me"

"I was expecting after that threatening speech of yours that you'd be a tad bit creative while killing me,tsk tsk you just went straight to it" I say walking towards him while whisking and manipulating darkness to take the form of everyone who's ever meant something to him causing him to walk blindly backwards.

Voices everywhere

Thane!!!!!

Thane??

Some raspy,some rough

Some needy,some sour

This is torture for him and I wish I feel sorry

But one stands out,the one that affects him most,same one heard in the burning cottage, mistake is he shows it.

So I highlight it, making it louder and clearer than the others

He's hyperventilating now.."Please make it stop"

"Why would I? I'm actually enjoying this" I take on my shadow camouflage taunting from all angles"If only you were there on time, maybe Ash wouldn't have become an orphan "

"Stop it"he yells as he eventually losses it and throws his fist in all direction not sure if he wanted to remain beast or human while he kept on twitching.

"You look helpless right now and you still think you can protect him?"I continued

"Please"

"I'll do anything,I promise, just make it stop"

Party's over

"esto"

And we're back in the cave like we never left at all

"Didn't know it was that easy, you're boring me right now"I fake-yawn

He doesn't respond, acting all battered up when I haven't even touched him then I nudge him with my boots. "You miss there already?.. We can always visit if you want to"I suggest

"Why are you doing this?"

"Let's see.....um I don't even know,oh wait did you miss the part where you killed me,See?? And I'm not whining about it like a sick puppy and here I was thinking I'm being evil"

"What do you want?"

"Now that's more like it,it wasn't so hard after all,so here's what you'd do, I'm not interested in whatever goes on here but it means shit and all to Lysand and all you need to do is be cooperative during your questioning, that's all .....easy peasy lemon squeezy"

"If he needs you to get me to talk, then he doesn't deserve to be alpha"

"Oh please!! Like I didn't just witness your little breakdown, everyone has their weaknesses and strengths, Lysand doesn't need me,I only helped cause I'm bored and you're a sick psycho who seems to enjoy physical torture but can't hold his ground mentally also I'm the only one with the permit to get on his nerves"

"Goodnight Thane"
