Michael pov

I was in that darkness again but I heard a voice it was dark and menacing. "Well-well-well if it isn't my favorite puppet trying to resist me look at all the people I'm hurting look at them suffering because of you." I saw myself hurting people as well as Ritchie, and Austin but it wasn't me I couldn't control my body I couldn't do anything I wanted to stop myself desperately from hurting Austin he had saved me I didn't want to hurt him that's when I heard the voice again. "You can't escape puppet after all your weak and so easy to torment." It went dark it felt like I was drowning in the darkness it felt like I was suffocating and it felt like the voice was squeezing me I was trapped and then the voice spoke again. "Well you've outlived your usefulness such a shame by-by  puppet." I felt this overwhelming presence charge towards me and then I felt myself being shaken and I heard my name being called I opened my eyes to see Austin was the one who was shaking me and he had a concerned look on his face and Ritchie was behind him looking concerned as well.

Austin pov

I woke up to the sound of screaming and I ran out my room into the hallway Ritchie was there and he heard seemed to have heard it as well there was another scream it was coming where Michael was staying I ran to Michael's bed Ritchie right behind me to see Michael screaming and crying he was hyperventilating and was shaking I ran over to the bed and started shaking him. "Michael wake come on it's not real Michael!" Michael gasped and opened his eyes I was looking at him concerned He immediately clung to me and started rambling "I-I didn't do it, it wasn't me." I looked at Ritchie confused. "What do I do?" "Ask him what he mean." I looked back at Michael. "What do you mean Michael?" Michael looked me in the eyes and that's when I realized his eyes were glassed over and unfocused he was awake but it was like he couldn't see me. "He made me do it." "What did he make you do Michael?" "He made me hurt you all of you he made me be bad I didn't want to be bad I couldn't stop him." "Who's he Michael?" Michael froze he looked completely terrified and then he fell into me completely limp he had fainted I laid him down in the bed and covered him in the black and made sure that he was sleeping peacefully and I went into the hall to talk with Ritchie. "What just happened?" "I think he just relived a memory how did his eyes look Austin?" "They were glassed over like he wasn't aware of what was happening." "This is worse then we thought bigger things are happening  here even worse Michael probably won't remember what happened tonight." "What kind of things and why wouldn't he remember?" "From what he said he never wanted to be a bad wizard someone was controlling him from the way he spoke and this being clearly scared him I have a theory on what happened to him" "What is it." Ritchie sighed and then spoke again. "I think that it was this person who was controlling him that did all those bad things and once he found no more use of Michael he wiped his memory's and tried to kill him." "Crap that means Michael was never the enemy." "No it also means that now the person who was controlling Michael cut ties with him we now have an unknown enemy running around we need to warn Mario and Xylo we'll do that tomorrow." I looked back at Michael "What about him I don't want to leave him in his fragile state besides what if this enemy decides to finish what he started?" "Your right Austin we'll take him with us I'll explain to the other good wizard the situation he still can't walk on his on and he probably can't defend himself so you need to protect him and keep him close if what he says is true then that means----" "He's innocent." Ritchie nodded at me in confirmation. "We head out in the morning get some sleep Austin." "Alright night Ritchie." I went to my room and laid down in bed and closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
