Ezra couldn’t curl up in a tighter ball if he were made of rubber.

The library was the last place he wanted to be. After last night, he never wanted to step in the building again. How could he face Dani? As far as she was concerned, he wanted to kill her. There was no way she would believe it was Grarkiel in control. He tried to stop the parasite inside him. Needless to say, he failed. 

He thought the last guy was the only one who would escape Grarkiel. No one had since he and the alien had been joined into one entity. 

Then Dani got away, too. Even worse, or better depending on who was asked, she destroyed a few of Grarkiel’s henchmen. Everyone who called his brain home had been in a sheer panic state since. Ezra had never seen them like that before. It came with its consequences. When Grarkiel was terrified, he made everyone experience pain. Ezra was on the top of the list. 

It was far from an easy night. The final torture forced Ezra to dress and come here against his will. It was going to be such a fun day. 

He glanced up from underneath the hood of his sweatshirt to search for Dani. He would go to great lengths to avoid her. How could he explain? He could apologize but how would that go? Sorry for trying to kill her?

He felt a flurry of tremors just above his right ear. The lost souls that served Grarkiel were out of their minds freaked out. It was understandable. Not all of them were bad when their bodies were brutally murdered and their souls were assimilated into their murderer. A few of them were warriors who attempted to defend their home world when the Vigvuth attacked and decimated the planet. Even as spirits they fought against his grip. Grarkiel was unbelievably cruel. The torture he subjected them to turned them into his mercenaries eager to do his fatal bidding. 

There was only one being Grarkiel abducted without ending their existence first. The Prince. After the pain the poor guy went through, he probably wished he had died. 

Ezra smiled to himself. He was glad the Prince escaped.
