There was something wrong here. Donnie was taking on my hits unlike before, when he dissolved both the times I had punched him. But there was not a lot worth the risk here: if he gets me unconscious then it would be a helpless situation unless someone from my pack finds me.

"If you are trying to buy time, then I am not letting you do that, Donnie!" I charged ahead once again, and he now bolted away from his place. He staggered on his feet, maybe because of the injury the previous hit had caused him.

"Wait, Selene, I am not Donnie, " he said the words, and they flew right past my ears. There was nothing that would let this man slip out of my hand unless he put me out of the hypnosis.

My feet picked up the pace, and I almost caught up to him. He was running for his life right now, so desperately, and I wasn't letting him off the hook.

"I don't wish to hurt you, Donnie, just take back what you did to me," I warned for the ultimate time, because now there was no use in wasting more time. If what he said previously was true, then team Blue had almost finished their task and the fastest in their team was Suzan. She probably filled in a word that I would beat her in the race to cross the finish line first.

But Donnie kept running, leaving me no option but to get what I want the hard way. I hated everything about this moment, where my reality was not in my hand.

My feet raced to his desperate self and as soon as my hand grabbed his collar, he cried out in a last effort, "HELP ME!" Like I would leave him on that. My hand dragged him back to make him face me while my fingers covered the surface of his throat. "Selene, I am not Donnie. I am Connie, stop this!"

I smiled. "Well, that is what you said a while back. Do you expect me to believe that again? I will ask you one last time, break this hypnosis"

The man in my hand held his hands up. "I will do it. But I can't simply undo it"

My eyes narrowed at him. "Anyone can undo their ability. Are you taking me for a fool?" He was still playing with me. It was good to see so much dedication for winning, but it was stupid to risk yourself for what it cost. My fingers tightened around his neck and I spoke in a low, threatening voice, "You undo it right now!"

"You don't understand," He said with his voice gasping for breath and my hand relaxed a little for him to talk. "It is not my ability. I can push you into a nightmare and pull you out of the illusion with the help of that shock. Please let me help you"

Why would he have to do that? Nightmare? Wasn't this already one to have my reality in his hand? He was asking for nothing but more damage.

My other palm formed a fist with my knuckles going white "Fine, if this is what you choose." Since he had asked for this, even after all the warnings, there was nothing I could really do but get out of this by force. I just didn't have to inflict any severe injury as per the rules, and I would be fine. As soon as my hand came up to punch him, another wolf came onto headbutt me, sending me flying away from them both.

A whimper escaped my lips as pushed my torso up and saw Donnie go hide behind the wolf. 'The wolf is Donnie,' a voice constantly played in my head until I agreed to it. This was yet another illusion set up by Donnie.

"Selene, snap out of it!" telecommunicated the wolf. The sound that came in my head was that of Arina's. But this wolf was Donnie, right? This voice is a trick by Donnie. The wolf could not be Arina. I got up and paced to them, ready to attack, and Arina pushed me back yet again, using my momentum to her advantage.

There were so many voices going in my head, it was irritating me for a long time. My anger only rose with every ticking second, and right now hundreds of different voices crashed inside my head.

My fingers gripped my hair tightly as I let out a scream and charged at the Wolf again.

"Hold her down!" I heard the man yell as he ran in another direction while the wolf got ready to take me on. Like I would let that happen! I will take down each and everyone here, all the forms that Donnie takes in this hypnosis will lose!

I attacked the wolf, but it was quick, or I was getting exceedingly slow. The voices in my head had vexed me to where thinking straight was not something that I could do right now. My fist swung through the air aimlessly trying to hit the wolf, but it skilfully dodged, until finally pinning me against the ground and its forelegs on my shoulders.

The strength to retaliate was fading from my body, as every part of my being was now trying to fight the increasing voices in my head. They had no meaning, just people speaking constantly, overlapping, blabbering, aggravating.

"Selene! Selene, open your eyes," I heard a voice amid the chaos, slowly increasing in volume as two delicate hands held my face in place.

I opened my eyes with fuzzy images in front of me that my chaotic mind refused to recognise. The last thing I remember was one of the twin brother's eyes looking into mine and my eyes frantically searching for peace. I wanted out. There was nothing more. No winning, nothing, just for Donnie to stop and bring me quiet.

There was no wish for me to retaliate anymore, nor the strength. Just a tranquil place was all I wanted, "Please Let me out"
