Chapter 55 - Don't hold your breath

Helton and the cubes were outside, it was cloudy and the wind blew from time to time. Lawhey and Shoto were watching what was going on.

"Ahuff, Ahuff, coff.... Ryan coughed trying to breath.

Helton had him strapped, both hands and legs tied and was waterboarding him.

" You shouldn't be breathing, stay calm stop breathing. The moment you overcome the fear, you'll be okay. You don't need air to survive.", Helton said as he continued waterboarding him.

They had been at it for ours, Ryan would get scare then the fear turned to rage. It was hard on Shoto and Lawhey, they had been watching him drown for hours. Then Helton got an idea, Ryan had been holding on to hope. Ryan new there was trace of oxygen, so he craved for it.

Helton decided to put him in a vacuum.

He went inside and came out wearing gloves.

He asked Shoto and Lawhey to untie Ryan. He opened his palm an let the Vaccum Ring suspend. He separated his joined fingers and the Vaccum Ring expanded.

"I'll just place it over your head, it is a vaccum so no oxygen. The moment you get use to it, I take it off and thats that

"It's that the same thing you stopped me from touching?", Ryan asked trying to make sure it was safe.

"No one knows what's goes on inside but it's okay I've reduced the suction.", Helton said, and turned his left gloved hand anticlockwise. The suction reduced further, just to be safe.

He controlled the Vaccum Ring, it was hovering over Ryans head. He looked at it, then took a deep breath. Helton placed it over his head, the Ryan opened his eyes. It was pitch black he couldn't see anything then, his eyes started to adjust.

Helton removed the Vaccum Ring, just to make sure he was alright.

Ryan was sure he saw something, just before the Vaccum was taken off.

He was eager to stuck his head back in there.

"I'm fine, let's go again", Ryan said then took in another deep breath.

"You know the point of this exercise, it to prove you don't need oxygen right.", Helton said.

He placed the Vaccum over his head again, they were standing there waiting. Then Shoto saw Ryan feet were off the ground. It was in a split second, he was doubting himself when he saw it again. He brought it to Lawhey attention.

" It that suppose to happen?", Lawhey asked Helton as he pointed at Ryans feet.

"What?", when Helton turned to look at Ryan, more than half of his body was already through. Helton couldn't close it, it would have cut him into two pieces.

Shoto and Lawhey ran to hold him down but before they got there he was gone.
