(ooc: chris-read this one pls-note the end...its worth a try) >As the emptiness ate at his mind, pain tore through those memories. It was >not a physical pain, as the beatings had been, but something deeper, >somethign more intimate and personal. It was in his mind, the only thing >left to him in that empty void, and it was tearing at those memories, trying >to tear them away. David screamed out inside his head....."NO YOU CANNOT TAKE THEM THEY ARE MINE!" >The pulling and the pain grew stronger, as something (someone? It was hard >to tell through the searing agony) was trying to tear at his very >personality. He had heard of mind rippers; telepaths who stole a person's >memories and personalities, shredding them in the process and leaving the >person virtually a vegetable, looking out from eyes that remembered nothing >and could learn nothing, to never remember one's family, friends, home and >to spend their life in a mental facility being fed by staff in white coats >who made sure to clean up the drool. Whoever would see David's body right now would see tears running down his face...he refused to give up. His family are fighters and he would never, ever give up. >It was agony, more intense than the beatings could ever have been, claws as >sharp as razors tearing at his mind, trying to steal whatever it was they >were looking for. And unlike the beatings, there was no blessed escape >through unconsciousness. It was like a thousand burning knives coursing >stabbing him over and over, while a raging inferno engulfed him. Having been caught in a house fire as a child, David knew the pain of burns...he held onto that pain as an experience and used it to fight the searing....in the meantime he remembered his family had some telepathic bonding according to Bedru...he wondered...Lorin had it...he concentrated on reaching out to Bedru and Lorin...
