LU 197 - Dr. Thornberry 50

I groaned, my body ached from what had happened yesterday. Wait… I had died yesterday, didn’t I?
”Had fun there Vice?”
Electric. I looked up to see him standing over me. He sneered at me, making a few more rude comments about me and my face before he said something I didn’t expect.
”You’re special to me Vice. Not because of any characteristic you possess, but simply because you were the first.”
He beckoned me to come sit, and asked me a few stupid questions.
”How does it feel to be so foolish and naïve?”
”I don’t know.”
”I suppose you don’t know anything. Definitely don’t know how to run a town. Raise a child. And you certainly don’t know how to stand up for yourself.”
”I stayed up all night trying to figure out how to help you with this thing for the town sake.”
”You did all that just to be killed and used as manure.”
"Even if I have an ‘endermite sized brain’ as you put it, at least I wanted to do something about it. I’m just glad it was me instead of anyone else.”
He grinned at me, and reiterated that I was just the first of many others. I would make sure that wouldn’t happen. I can’t let anyone else get in the hands of this man.
”Now would you like a tour of your new home?”
I said no of course, but he ended up just threatening me with a false hope of escape and his ...firework gun. Which, speaking about it, he took me to a waterfall where I could see my reflection and... that blast from yesterday didn’t end up being a small scratch or a bruise but... an entire burn scar that covered half of my face.
I stared at myself in the crystal clear water, and put my hand up to my cheek. It still stung. How was I supposed to hide this? How was I supposed to cover this? …Something like this would go into the news, hell it could ruin my reputation! I felt tears welling up but I pushed them down. Especially along with the new stab wound in my eye from Mira... I looked like an experiment gone wrong. 
Electric ended up showing me the rest of the cave, along with a wall and a tree.
”What do you think Vice? Pretty cute right?”
”It’s fine I guess.”
”...Well did you at least enjoy your time being consumed and used as fertilizer?”
”No.”
”Oh well I’m very sorry about that. And what I’m about to do to you now…”
As he grinned again, the panic started swelling up in my chest. I scattered away, trying to keep as far of a distance away from him as possible. But he stopped following me, and instead laughed, leaning down to put his hands on his knees.
”Oh you should’ve seen the look on your face!”
I hated being here. I hated being scared of this guy. I just want to be who I used to be.
”The once high and mighty, Vice Thornberry, king of the Amathian Empire. Slain by a simple plant. How sad. Oh! Can I show you something Vice?”
I followed him, listening to his nonsense while walking.
"I've never really had any close friends, you're my first one!"
”We’re not friends.”
”We’re bonded for life, Vice!”
And as his teeth sparkled in the light of the glowberries, he opened a hidden door. He pushed me in, and shut the door behind me. It was a weird room with something in it. Similar but… oh so different..
"Electric?"
I started banging at the wall in a panic, but all he did was giggle from the other side.
"Goodbye for now my great friend Vice Thornberry!"
This guy’s insane. Absolutely bonkers he is. As soon as I get back to my duties, if I ever do, I’m opening up a mental hospital. But I tried to reason with him. Asked him why he’s doing something like this to me if I was his friend. But I was a fool for even trying. He opened up the wall and cornered me, slightly pressing his sword up against my forehead.
”No where to run little rabbit.”
He dug the blade in further, and I slumped against the wall, unconscious. He picked me up and carried me back to where I had woken up earlier that day. And then he splashed an entire bucket of water over my head. I woke up slightly, barely there, but awake enough to talk. He pushed me into a dark hole.
”See you again soon Vice Thornberry! Thank you for all of the help. With everything! You barely even know what you’ve done.”
It’s dark. I’m scared. I want to go back to my friends. Please someone help me...
