“So tell me Madyln what it’s like to be relied on despite being highly incompetent?”
Madyln sits up from the table a star in hand. “I don’t think I know what you mean but get out.”
“Oh you know being relied on your girlfriend and Dallas to protect them and be a pillar of support. Yet lacking the ability to do such a thing. Cause you couldn’t rescue either without someone’s help.”
“So what? I admit when I need help. When I know it’d be safer to get help then do it on my own. Now if you’re done get out of here!”
“As you wish.” Ebony snaps her fingers and disappears to the woods by Sam.
“Where is Wren?” He has a knife under her chin.
“I think you know full well where they are Samuel. But for now let me refresh your memory.”
Memories of: marriage, happiness, fighting, and winning come rushing back to Sam.
“You were the and now you’re and we used to be, oh my gosh. Why would you do something like that?! I trusted you I loved you.”
“And I did too, which is why you aren’t already dead. Soon enough though. But you betrayed me! You and Jones and many others fought against my forces and won!”
“So accept your defeat while your alive and get far away from here.”
She raises an eyebrow. “Is that a threat? Cause you are in no position to do so.”
“Yes it is. You take over my family, and steal my partner. You bet your bandana it’s a threat!” He has another knife in his other hand.
“Look Samuel, just in couple clicks of a keyboard and a snap of my fingers your friends could be under my control again. I’d watch what you say.”
She pulls open a screen and types something in.
“What are you- aaahg! Ebony stop this! You don’t have to be this way.” He keels over in pain. He makes way to sit against a tree.
“No can do. This is a perfect spot to do this. Deep in the woods. See you around Samuel.” She snaps her fingers to a broken ish house of coding. There’s the occasional thump of something.
“Intriguing.” She snaps and she’s back at the table with Wren.
“Where did you go? What did you do?” They ask, the stress in their voice clear.
“Visited your friends. They say hello. Or in Sam’s case goodbye.”
“Because his whole system is being destroyed.”
