Mixed Fates

Chapter 8.

Zanders Pov.

3 months later.

It has been so long since the incident with Mia, they need to start to calm down right? The next days after she tried her little stunt, they were so mad they took their torture to the next level. The physical is torture is leaving us so close to death that we can’t do anything else but save ourselves and that is to steal magic from another person. I don't even know how many times I have been drowned and then given all types of animals to see which ones can save me. I am stealing their life force or something.

They have cut off all our hair, not even bothering to give us clothes and food is once a while I am guessing, once a week. Other times they just give us vitamin and hydrating IV. They got sick of cleaning us up so now there is almost nothing to clean up. My insides are all dried up and I don't think my body can hold on any longer.

Jade is completely broken, she just sits and stares into nothing drooling on herself. She does not respond nor show anything anymore. It has been a while since anyone of us has said anything at all.

Theo has gone crazy, he just laughs at random times and takes seizure like spasms in his chair. He went slowly crazy, he kept thinking they were going to let him go but then he didn't want to go because the outside was bad. Then he started to talk about some theories that this was all just a dream or not really happening to him but him seeing someone else's memories. Then in the end he just stopped talking, started laughing at random times and his eyes are almost always open to a creep length.

The mudman is dead, he died a long time ago, he was left in here for a little while but when they realized he was truly dead they got rid of his body.

Mia.

Ohh Mia.

She must be such a strong person. She has been getting the worst of everything. She has stopped talking and she does not do anything anymore but you can feel it. Even without my magic I can feel the hatred and anger fueling her. She is much more compliant with them but I can feel her turning and changing. She is nothing but skin and bones, she is bald and missing some teeth. Some of her bones have been broken and then healed in the wrong way so she is crooked. However there is some beauty to her, that she is still keeping her sanity and that she is powering so much through this. I don't know if it is just delaying the inevitable but she is keeping true and that is helping me also here.

I am not doing so well because I have such strong mental magic that when I am taking someone's life force or someone's magic I feel it just like them. It breaks away at my shield that is already very broken. I have started to hallucinate my family and I hear them. I hear them calling me and begging me to come home. I hear mom saying that mommy is sick and will die. I hear my little brother beg me to come back because dad is leaving mom because I left.

I see my little infant sister blue and purple. There is nothing I can do but to just close my eyes but they are there too. In the darkness behind my eyelids, they are everywhere. Sometimes they yell at me and are mad at me but that hurts just the same. I am losing my grip on my sanity and if something does not start to change then I will let go and I don't know what will happen then.

“Alright, meal time”

I didn't even see them come in. A man walks over to me and brings up the straw. I take the straw in my mouth and almost moan to feel the lukewarm oatmeal run through it and down my throat. I finish it way too fast, I just got lost in the feeling but my stomach can not handle it so I start gagging. I force my mouth closed and swallow as much as I can trying with all my might to keep it in my body but I lost this fight. I puked it all out over myself. I start to bang my head against the bed.

NO!

“Do you not want it? Are you not thankful you are getting food? Do you just wish to only get the IV?” The man feeding me yells at me angrily.

I shake my head scared.

“I want the food please” I say but my voice was low and raspy.

He looks at me with so much hatred, like I am the dogshit he stepped in, in his brand new shoes.

“I don't think you appreciate the things we do for you little shits!”

If I was not so dehydrated I would be crying right now but the only thing I can do is stare at him.

“You all are nothing more than lab rats! No one cares about you or even like you! You are not even worth giving the food we make for you!”

My eyes move to Mia, looking for strength and sure enough I see the fire burning in her eyes. She is angry and she is not appreciating being talked to like this. However here I am seconds away from crying and pissing myself out of terror.

“Since you don't appreciate the effort we give to you then you don't want the water.”

My eyes land back on him and everything in me wants to cry and wants to beg him to give me something.

“Please” I beg.

The wicked smile that lands on his face shakes me to my core.

“Say that again lab rat”

Even his voice was filled with hatred and malice.

“Please” I push out.

He takes out my beds remote and makes me lie down so I am staring up at the ceiling and the light makes my eyes hurt. Then he stands in the way of the light with his hands on his hips, smiling down at me. Then the bed lowers so I am at his hip height. With horror in my eyes I see him unbuckle his belt, unbutton his pants and then open the fly. When he takes out his d**k I move my head to the side but shortly after I feel the warm liquid stream on my face. The smell filling my nose and it burning the little cuts I have on my scalp after being shaved.

When he was finished I did not hear anything other than everyone laughing.

Everyone is laughing at him pissing on me.

These people are not human.

My bed is turned back into the original position and my eyes meet with Mia, she does not look faced but I can see the fire a little brighter in her eyes. I wish I could feel your anger but I just feel like I have taken too many punches. I can't do this anymore. I just want to live in the darkness and I just want to wait until I am killed or until we are freed. If I am honest with myself then I think that later is just not happening at this point. We are not the victims that get saved like on the show but we are the ones that they were too late to save.

There is nothing left. I am not the son Mom or mommy want. I am not worthy to go back, there is no reason to hold out anymore. This is not worth it.

“ Zander”

I was so startled that my head whipped to the side making it crack and give me a muscle spasm in my shoulder. Mia is still looking at me. She said my name. She is here with me. I am not alone. I have her. When we get saved, I have her. She can save me.

She is here with me. Mia.

Ian’s POV.

I can’t do this anymore. I can't find them. I need my mothers help.

“Mom?”

“Yes sweetie”

“I need your help”

Then without even hanging up the phone, she is in front of me. My mother is a very beautiful woman. She has the face of a woman that you would want to confide in. Her hair is black now but she changes it when she gets bored of it. I think sometimes she is jealous of mommy because her hair changes with her moods so Mom changes hers for fun. She is a luna of a very powerful pack and my father is a very respected alpha. Ever since they saved the king from an attack and then the king found his mate in my aunt.

I am snapped out of my thoughts by my mom starting to clean up around us.

“Leave it.”

“What do you need my son?” she says straight to the point.

“They are out of my reach, I can’t find them but nothing is out of yours. Nothing can hide from you”

She turns around with a wicked smile on her face that kind of creeped me out.
