《The Powers Within》Chapter 4
Advertisement
My dreams are fueled with rage. Rage I didn't even know I was capable of.
When I wake up, I find myself strapped to a bed. There are objects flying around me, and the doctors are frightened. I am frightened of myself. I didn't know what I was capable of. Everything drops.
I look down at myself and unstrap myself just by thinking it. Then the soldiers came in and tried holding me down again. They fly backwards. I walk out of that room with a pissy attitude. I storm through the halls trashing anything in my way.
I am the queen of destruction, and nothing can stop me. Soldiers start storming down the hall towards me. They are thrown back easily.
I go straight to Allen's office. I break the beautifully ornate door down. He looks at me with no fear.
"Love, it would seem the emotion you have for me will keep me safe." He said with a cocky smile. I slammed him into his own desk.
The look of pain in his eyes excited me. I stretched my hand out and made a crushing movement with it. I shattered his left leg. He screamed in agony, and I enjoyed it.
I enjoyed the screams of pain. I enjoyed hearing his cries for help. No one is going to help him. They are too scared to try to get through me.
I remembered my brother, and I stopped.
~flashback~
The wind is whirling around me. I feel power and rage. He hurt me. My baby brother hurt me deep, and I want him dead. He thought it'd be funny to start rumors about his big sister. He thought it wouldn't hurt to slut-shame someone who still has her virtue.
I killed him. I killed him, and I didn't care. I crushed with my mind making the motions with my hands, and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed his screams of agony. I loved him crying for help. Then I realized what I had done, and I hated myself.

~end of flashback~
I fell to my knees, mumbling incoherently. I didn't even understand what I was saying. Most of it was apologies. Some of it was towards my brother; some towards myself.
Then I start hearing voices over mine. Some saying I am mentally and emotionally unstable, others saying I was a threat to society. Then I hear Gray, saying I am just lonely and broken.
Look at me. I am dying, and no one cares. I feel arms hug me. "I remember now, Astrid," Gray whispers into my hair. He lifts me into his arms and carries me to my room. He limps while I cry the whole way to my room.
He starts to hook up the straps, and I begin to jerk and dodge. He falls back away with fear in his eyes. Then he notices how horrified I look. "I don't want to feel like an experiment again. I don't want to feel trapped." I whisper. I plead with my eyes, tears falling down my face.
He stumbles up, struggling with his left leg. He nods and stumbles out of my door.
That was the last time I heard from him for the next week.
It was back to being watched. Stuck in a room by myself with meals delivered through a slot in a door.
I cried a lot during that week. I kept seeing my brothers face. Then seeing Grays. I couldn't escape my past or my future.
I thought about suicide quite a lot now, but I can't die. I have already tried.
I tried to get a meeting with Gray to apologize. The guards don't trust me anymore. They won't let me see him.
I miss him......

I was Summoned as a Hero, but I Became the Demon Lord Instead
"Ah, how I wish I could be summoned to another world." I’d always thought of such a naive wish of escapism would never be granted. However, shit happened and I was somehow summoned. However, in some strange twist of fate, I was no longer needed and disposed of, but that’s okay because I didn’t want to be a summoned hero to begin with. My new beginning may have been abruptly cut short, but even so, that is fine. There is a path I’m much more interested in. Mwuhahaha! Cough cough cough. Though, my sinister laugh may still need some practice. I was Summoned as a Hero , but I Became the Demon Lord Instead Volume 1 Word Count: 108K Including Volume Exclusive Content Available on Amazon Edit: If you don’t get the timeline that’s because the rate at which time flows in different worlds are not equal. In addition, timelines do not neccesarily run parallel to each other, they may cascade such that when summoned to another world you may get summoned from a different reference frame in the timeline of another world’s with respect to your own. Scientific constants can change from one plane to the next. The natural laws that govern each world is not necessarily the same across them all. Some may display similarities, while others may be the complete opposite where rather than aging forwards you actually age in reverse. Newborns could be born elderly and withered, but when they are born into the world, their body regresses towards death in reverse.
