HERE HAVE SOME BRYCE
Footsteps. Bryce slowly opened his eyes. In the dim light he could barely see the other person, on the other side of the celldoor. His body didn't allow him to get up, to have a closer look.
"Did you learn your lesson, boy?" a painfully familiar voice asked? Bryce didn't answer. His throat was soar and his head was aching. The blood was all he could think of. How many days had it been? It felt like years, fucking years. He coughed.
"Answer me boy, or I'll let you rot in here for another few days and trust me, the withdrawal will only get worse. So. Did you learn you lesson?"
"Yeah.." Bryce muttered, his voice barely audible. His body was sweaty and he was cold, icecold.
"Yeah..?"
"Yes, Lucian, I did," Bryce said, hating himself for every word that came over his torn lips, that he had nearly bitten to pieces.
"Good boy. And will you obey me from now on? Without any more resistance?"
"Yes," Bryce said. "I.. will."
"Here," Lucian said indifferently and he tossed a small plastic bag into the cell. Bryce' nails scratched the concrete floor as he hurried to grab it. He heard the man laugh. He felt so relieved and so humiliated at the same time, as he tore the package open and drank.
But it wasn't enough. Not nearly. The bag had been nearly empty to start with; only a few drops fell into Bryce's mouth. He could still hear Lucian laugh as the demon walked away and said over his shoulder;
"I'll come and pick you up tomorrow."
"So I.. I kinda made a deal. He'd get you two out of hell, my addiction gone-"
"Who?" Liv asked sharply and she narrowed her eyes.
"A demon," Bryce muttered quickly.
"A demon. A demon! Bryce, what has caused us all of this?"
"Technically that was me, but I see your point. Now if you-"
"Guys," Amo tried. Liv merely raised her hand.
"Not now. He's being stupid again."
"Hold the fuck up, Liv," Bryce said, getting irritated as well and raising his voice. "You're gonna shut up now and hear me out. Yeah, I made a deal with a demon. I knew that wouldn't be a walk in the motherfuckin park. In case you forgot, my experience with Lucian goes just a tad further than you two. You know, about a full year of my life, kinda filled with addiction, violence and humiliation. I'm not trying to get sympathy, I'm just saying; I know demon's are bad news. But you know what? Without this deal the two of you had still been in hell."
He took a deep breath. Liv said nothing. Amo seemed like he was about to say something, but he too was quiet. Bryce looked from one to the other. When he spoke again, his voice was calmer.
"Besides, there's more to the deal and it concerns all of us. I traded in my soul for this, but I can get it back. One of the conditions of all of this was that we're going to find information on creatures. Kind of what Lucian did, but our way. For two years."
Another silence fell. It was probably the first time Bryce was relatively open over his time under Lucian's control.
"So.. so basically we gather information for two years, and you get your soul back," Amo confirmed timidly. Bryce nodded.
"That's about it, I guess."
WELL YES, I WILL BE IN THE EMOCORNER IF ANY OF YOU GUYS NEED ME
