The figure stopped and chuckled–a low, eerie sound that sent a shiver down my spine. I here I was trying to be sneaky this time”

I scoffed, my lip curling in disgust. “Go learn some propriety. I spat. “And get out of my head. You’re not real. I know you’re just an illusion and I won’t let you mess with my mind.”

The figure smirked, stepping closer. “Oh, but I’m real enough, aren’t I? You hear me, you see me, you feel my presence. That’s all that matters.

I clenched my fists. “Stay out of my head.

It laughed again. “The sooner you accept me, Nathan, the better it’ll be for both of us.” It moved closer, its form shifting like smoke in the wind. “We’re more alike than you’d like to admit. We share the same pain, the same hatred for Ramsey, and even the same love.”

“I’m not interested in becoming your henchman,” I cut in sharply. “If you want to punish Ramsey so badly, do it yourself.”

The figure’s expression darkened as he glided towards me, reaching out a hand that went through mine. “Isn’t it fascinating that I can reach you like this?” it mused. “You feel me because we’re connected. That day through the portal, I felt it and you felt it too–that delicious little darkness in your heart. It paused, its presence growing heavier. “The darkness is your true strength and it will grow. I’m offering you the chance to nurture it properly. To exact the revenge you truly desire.”

My chest heaved with anger and fear warring inside me. “You’re wrong. I’m not evil.

“I agree,” the figure tilted his head, his eyes gleaming. “Not yet. But I’m allowing you to explore what you can do to your heart’s content. To do what you kept thinking about buried above the ground in that dark dungeon for four years. Damn! Let go already, Nathan!”

I stared at the figure for a long moment, my heart pounding. Then, without a word, I walked past the figure, ignoring it, but it showed up in front of me again.
