"I hope you enjoyed that, because you will never see any of those people again." Cyrus voice boomed in my head.

"What the hell are you talking about? I didn't do any of that." I thought back, since we seemed to be talking inside my head rather than physically speaking.
"Your somewhat daring escape scenario and the time you spent at the truck stop was all in your head boy. You haven't done anything since you were brought here. I've had Lily keeping you alive and unconscious for five days now." His voice trailed off.
I thought he was leaving me alone, but I was sorely mistaken. Slowly my room at home formed around my consciousness and a body slowly formed around me. "What is this, Cyrus?"
"I'm sorry to do this without warning but I really don't like that whole direct mind communication thing; it just kind of creeps me out." Suddenly he was in front of me dressed as he was the last time I saw him. "No, this won't do." He said examining his clothing. He closed his eyes and ran his hands down his arms and his entire outfit changed into something like mine only without sleeves.
"So they bad guy is creeped out by his own powers and cares about how he dresses. Great, dysfunction in all its forms." I sat on my bed and leaned back against the wall.
"I'm not creeped out by it, I just don't like the whole voices in my head thing; it makes me feel like I should be crazy." He leaned against my desk.
"Should be crazy? Cyrus I hate to tell you this but you are crazy. You've kidnapped me and I have no idea what the hell is going on. You've basically taken a town hostage for no other reason that you could. You've probably killed a few people while you were at it. And voices in your head only make you think you should be crazy. You need some therapy there guy and lots of it." I could tell that little speech got under his skin by the way his shoulders tensed.
"How can you have no idea what is going on around you? And don't give me that crap about not having any contact with the Council, they watch everybody."
"My parents may have had contact with the Council and all that crap, but up until a few days ago I had no idea that magic even existed in the world. I've been kept in the dark on all of this for a reason I would guess and here you go screwing all that up."
