Reo laughed maniacly and it echoed throughout the small room. "So you've found me, eh?" The voice was not Reo's. It had a different harshness to it. Just then, Reo's real voice rang out, GET. OUT. OF. MY BODY!" He doubled over and placed a shaking hand at his chest. A large purple orb came into his hand and he through it across the room.
It slowly morphed into a figure. It was a human! The man laughed the same evil laughter as before. He was wearing half-moon glasses that fell over the bridge of his nose and gave him an aged look and not single thread of hair grew on his head. "We meet at last."
"Zurilod...Kill the bastard," Reo said weakly on the floor.
"What is this?" I stared at the man.
"I am known by many names in this world," he explained. "I am the Puppet Master. I have controled every aspect of your life."
I hissed at the man, "I am under no one's control." I heard Darin step up behind me and his blade slice through the air. I ducked and kicked him in the chest, sending him backwards.
"Ow! What was that for?" he said.
"You...attacked me," I replied. As if he didn't know.
"I have controlled everyone one of your pitiful lives," the man smirked.
"My life is my own!" Who was this man to say he controlled me?
"Oh, I do not take power over you...Or Reo." He sounded as if he were hinting at something.
Out of the corner of my eye, Leviden unsheathed her hunting knife and held it to her her abdomen underneath her chest.
"Leviden, what are you doing?" She did not reply.
"You see, I have controlled everyone in your life. Everyone you've ever met or come across," the "Puppet Master" said.
Leviden moved the knife up to her chest and placed the tip of the blade against her heart. She thrusted it through her chest with a straight face. She stood in place for a moment with the blade buried in her then collapsed on floor.
