Find Viktor
Landon.
Natasha was right. I wouldn't want to be restored if it was me too. Just like how I subconsciously didn't want to wake up when Viktor had been taken over. It was all self-preservation.
But I don't care. All I want is for him to be back to normal. I know he's doing all this because of his lack of humanity and the control Pedro has over him.
"You're wrong. I'm not scared of anything. I'm not scared of facing anyone," Rhazien retorted.
"But you are. I saw it in your eyes the moment I snapped my fingers. You are afraid of the guilt or how you'll face us, how you'll face Landon!" She said fiercely.
I felt strange in my body immediately and when I blinked, I saw that I was no longer standing where I was. I was standing next to Natasha.
What?! What is this?
I was even more surprised when I looked up to see myself standing where I was before.
Rhazien suddenly grabbed the other version of me and lifted him into the air.
I'm so confused right now. Am I even real?
"They can't see you, that's an illusion of you," I heard Natasha's voice in my head and I faced her with raised eyebrows.
That was cool, but why does she even want to do that?
"You're wrong, I don't care about him and I never have!" Rhazien yelled fiercely and his words felt like hits on my chest.
He doesn't mean it, Landon. It's Rhazien talking, not Viktor.
"Prove it!" Natasha dared him and I started to understand what she was driving at. She wanted to force out the humanity in him. She created the illusion in case she was wrong and he actually hurts me.
I saw the goo fist tightening around the illusion who was behaving so real, struggling and choking. My eyes darted to Rhazien's other hand and I saw very long claws extending from his fingers.
He looked at his fingers and he looked as if he was hesitating to hurt me. This was a good sign.
"I thought he means nothing to you. Why are you hesitating?" Natasha asked with a smirk.
"End him Rhazien. Do it now!" Pedro commanded fiercely and Rhazien gritted his teeth.
"Don't tell me what to do!" Rhazien yelled all of a sudden and I froze in shock. Pedro looked even more shocked.
I gaped in surprise - Rhazien has never raised his voice against Pedro, in fact, he was completely obedient to him.
"I'll do it for you!" Pedro stormed forward, but Natasha raised her hand. Immediately, a dagger on the floor levitated into the air and hit Pedro in the heart.
I gasped and watched as Pedro froze in place.
"Papa!" Luther gasped in shock as Pedro's body turned grey and he fell lifelessly to the floor.
She killed Pedro! Just like that!
"You killed him," Rhazien muttered softly and he looked so angry right now.
He suddenly pulled the fake me closer and drove his claws into his heart. The illusion immediately disappeared and they all looked confused.
I didn't know what to think right now. Rhazien would have killed me if I was the one he was holding. He would have killed me if Natasha wasn't here
"An illusion," Rhazien bellowed and I noticed that they could all see me now.
"Right, but he isn't the only illusion here," Natasha stated and I raised my eyebrow. She immediately disappeared and I flinched, moving back. So she was also an illusion.
"Behind you." I looked up to see Natasha standing behind Rhazien and she was holding the blue dagger.
Rhazien turned around to face her and asked, "What are you?"
Natasha smirked and replied, "I am The Tribrid."
Tribrid....... Tribrid!!!
She Immediately tried to stab Rhazien, but he grabbed her hand quickly. Natasha faded away and I looked behind Rhazien to see Natasha standing there again and she immediately stabbed Rhazien in the heart with the blue dagger from behind.
Rhazien gasped and he slowly fell to his knees. Natasha let go of the dagger and she also fell to the ground unconsciously.
Dante ran forward and lifted her from the ground.
The dark lines on Rhazien's face slowly faded away, and his dark eyes went back to normal.
He looked so painted and he pulled the dagger out of his heart, dropping it on the floor. He slowly raised his head and looked at me with guilt and tears in his eyes.
"Viktor-" I tried to move close to him, but he suddenly got up on his feet and zoomed away.
"Natasha, Natasha," Dante tried to wake Natasha up.
***
I opened the door of Natasha's room as Dante carried her in. He dropped her on the bed and I looked up at the entrance as Doctor Jared walked in.
I crossed my arms over my chest and sighed, leaning on the wall. I couldn't stop thinking about Viktor. I can't imagine what he would be feeling right now and I wanted to be there with him when he was himself again.
But he ran. He ran away probably because he couldn't face me, but I don't care! I really don't care.
"Are you okay?" Nathan asked and walked closer to me, leaning on the wall.
"Yes." I smiled in assurance.
I looked up as Natasha jerked up from the bed. She looked normal this time.
She looked at everyone in the room and sighed, sitting up and resting her head on the head board.
"Where's Rhazien?" She asked.
"He ran away after you stabbed him," Dante replied and Nathasha looked up at me as if to know what I was thinking of how I felt.
She was awake now, I can go now. I stood up straight and smiled bleakly.
"I have to go now," I said and they all nodded in acknowledgement. I walked out of the room and stopped by the room I stayed, grabbing my car key and walking out.
I need to find Viktor.
