"A while," He shrugged.
"I only killed him when he went outside, set up an illusion and came in, in this… Horrible body."
"How can you like him?" He looked at her with disdain.

”Why I love him is none of your damn business.” she told him matching his look of contempt. ”What illusion? Did it have to do with the red flashes I saw earlier?” she asked sternly, but unable to keep the note of curiosity out of her voice.

"I don't know what you're talking about," He laughed some more as he teleported right in front of her.
"But that doesn't matter does it, your love is dead!" He giggled.

”I don't believe you.” she said plainly. He doesn't know? Some ”lord of darkness”… This guy acts more like a dark trickster Fae than anything else. …Wish there was a mind-reading magic or something… Wait… Maybe I could… ”Don’t think that I didn't notice you didn't answer my question. Again. What illusion are you talking about?” she asked, letting go of the familiar dark threads and causing them to disappear.

"You really are a slow thinker, the flash of red wasn't the illusion, you can't tell when an illusion has been set, that red light was just me planting what I call… Mind control." He laughed louder.

“Well, excuse me for being someone who still has a lot to learn about magic.” she snarked, rubbing her forehead slightly. This guy’s near-continuous laughing was starting to give her a headache. ”Mind-control? For what? Damn it. Answer me! What. Did. You. Do?” she growled.

"Oh nothing, I just used mind control to bring him to me, then, killed him and consumed his mind." He smirked.
"Like I have said multiple times."

Liz frowned. Out of everything this guy said so far… that last answer did make sense. ”And the illusion? What was it for?” she asked a bit calmer but still untrusting. Please wake up soon…

"To make sure you didn't see, that would ruin the fun now wouldn't it." He giggled.
"And don't expect to wake up, I control whether you leave or not."

”Excuse me, What?!?!” Liz exclaimed, shocked that he seemed to read her thoughts. ”How do you… Great. Out of everything, now you're in my head?” she groaned, hoping she was wrong.

"And whatever happens inside happens outside to." He added.

She nodded. ”Yeah… I was afraid there was some kind of Matrix angle to this kind of thing.” she murmured.

"Meaning James is dead."
"And there is no way for him to come back." He grinned.

Liz glared again. ”Stop saying that. I won't believe it until I wake up. Call me stubborn but I want a professional opinion.” she told him firmly. ”Now, what do you want?”

"Oh nothing… As of yet. I'll tell you when I have an idea." He yawned softly.

”And what? You just expect me to stay here until then?” Liz crossed her arms. ”Cause that won't happen.”

"You seemed like you wanted to stay when that piece of sh** was here, now you don't?" He raised a brow.

Liz walked up to him and slapped him across the face. ”That’s for getting on my last nerve. If James is dead, which I still don't believe, I won't have you disrespect him.” she warned with a furrowed brow. ”And it's not the location, it's who you’re with. If you think I’m going to be stuck here with you, then you can jump in front of the Swarm!”

"Meh, no thanks, they were an accident. I don't wish to go and meet and accident we created." He shrugged, not flinching at the slap.

”You made them?” she said, completely floored by the news. She took a step back in shock. ”How… an accident? Why would you… W-what were you trying to do?” she asked.

"Oh just… Experiments, I made a much better one after those failures." He shrugged.

”B-better? Better how?” she asked a little terrified. Maybe it's a good thing James isn't here right now… I don't think he’d react well to any of this.

"Oh, you'll see." He grinned before teleporting outside the cave and dragging a scorched, disfigured and bloody figure with limbs missing. It was human though and was wearing the same clothes James had been, all burnt up and ripped.
"Here, take this piece of junk." He threw the body over.

She jumped back a little as the body was thrown at her. The smell of burnt hair and flesh nearly made her retch as her eyes stung, soon filling with tears. No… No. It can't be… This isn't real! It's just a nightmare! Wake up, Lizzie. Wake up!

"He put up a good fight but was still… Weak." The man yawned.

Liz wasn't listening anymore. Her eyes were tightly closed. Her body was trembling. She just wanted to leave this place. She wanted to go back to the ship… back to the med-bay… She wanted to be with James. To forget this had happened. For all of this to… ”Just go away!” she didn't realize she was yelling.

"A pity he's gone forever though," He said and shrugged.
"He probably wasn't that important."

Liz opened her eyes, which were now black, and glared at him. ”GO TO HELL!” she shouted, thick sharp black spikes shooting towards him.

"Ah Fiesty it seems," He teleported behind her and whispered something.
"Why do you care what happens to him again?"
