Chapter Twelve: Guilt

Seto's POV
I lied down and stared up at the bright twinkly lights coming into focus. I was in a hospital room. "What happened?" I said to no one in particular, but to my surprise I get an answer,"you were nearly choked to death by the test subject," an anonymous voice answered,"you are needed back in the testing chamber immediately." Then they walked away."O.. K.?" I sat up and got off the bed. I was slightly wobbly as I hustled down the halls to the testing chambers. My comrades asked, "Dr. Seto? Would you still like to do the honors? If not we can send someo-" "-no, I would very much like to do the honors." "That does not seem very logical," "sometimes I use logic, others instinct." She handed me the syringe and I grip it firmly in my hand. As the doors swing open, I see the kid has been put back in his chair with even more restraints. He smiles as me before his face contorts with effort, anger, and pain as his body twisted around in the chair. "You okay?" "Yeah I'm fine, jus-" He groans and continues struggling against himself. Suddenly he screams, "NO! IF I LET YOU WILL JUST GET ME, US, INTO MORE TROUBLE!" He kicks his leg hard and I hear a snapping sound. "Great now I broke my leg," he mumbles to himself. Cautiously approaching him I inserted the syringe in his arm, alarmed he yells, "wait what are you doing?!" I closed my eyes as I squeezed the potion into his arm. He sat still for a moment before his face contorted into pure agony. He threw his head back and forth as his eye rolled around their sockets. Then suddenly I started to hear his voice in my mind. But their was another voice.

"NO DAD! IM NOT LETTING YOU AND I HAVE GOOD REASON TOO."
HE MUST PAY. HE MUST PAY!!
"If you serve out the payment I'm sure he won't survive."
SO BE IT THEN!

'That's Ian' I thought. I gulped, were they talking about me?

"No, it's not gonna be like that cause you are not the owner of my body. I am and I am not letting you dare hurt him."
YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND! YOU DON'T KNOW OF MY PAST!
"Dad, you being a little bit insane right now."
THIS IS WHAT IS DRIVING ME INSANE!
"Dad, please calm down."
*breathes deeply* Ok. I AM going insane.
"No you're not, you're just... stressed?"
Confirmed. I am insane.
"Never mind,"

Suddenly my head is silent again. The potion had worn off. From what I had seen and heard I knew what was going on with Colton. I walked out of the cell and the guards followed close behind me. As soon as I exited, one of my comrades, Dr. Owusu, asked,"what is it Dr. Seto?" Though hesitant to respond, I said, "Nneka, this is the work of a deceased angel."

I rummaged through my things and found A Basic Guide to Sorcery: Intermediate I flipped through it until I found what I was looking for.

Topic: Deceased Angels

Deceased Angels are the rarest type of angels you can find. If you some across one in your studies, consider yourself lucky. Deceased angels are the soul of a human being that has passed away turning into an angel. With the experience of a human, they are varied. The angel will be very much like the human it once was, but immensely empowered. A deceased guardian angel usually posses the body of a loved one. They normally possess their children, spouses, and/or good friends. Very skilled sorcerer can do something we call a seperection. This is when the angel is ripped from the body it possesses and is put back in it's original body(hence the name, seper-ection ). This is done with a combination of spells that has not been clarified to work every time. So as it seems, a different combination of spells has to be used for each different angel. It greatly helps to know the angel (when it was in it's human form) and know what they were like.

Dr. Owusu walked into my room. "Hey, Nneka, look at this," I say, handing her the book. She read it quickly and said, "if we manage to do this "seperection" correctly, this means we could use the angel as a weapon." "I honestly wouldn't like that," "why not? We would be famous in the lab for the idea alone," "well, the problem is.." I said, dropping my voice to a whisper. "The angel was one of my good friends. He saved my life and I still haven't paid him back. He already hates me. That's the reason why the kid nearly killed me. It wasn't him, it was his angel." "Well, Harvey, maybe you need to remember who you are, what you are. You are a scientist that has slowly worked his way to the top. When you are as high and almighty as you,  there is no such thing as the past, only the future and beyond. He was an old friend. Not a present friend nor  new friend. Don't beat yourself up about it. " I took a deep breath and said, "you're right, I need to forget about it."
