Chapter 7 - He's awake

Orphenius slowly opened his eyes as it adjusted to the room's lighting. The red light that lit up the room made it difficult for him to see anything but when his eyes had adjusted to it he saw someone sitting on a chair in front of the door with his head bowed. "Wh..., where am I?" he forced out of his mouth. The person raised his head and Orphenius recognized who it was.

"Why did you bring me here? To kill me?" "I'm sorry for bringing you here," the man said in a soft sorry voice. "You better be Belphimore," Orphenius said as he pulled on the chains which had him bound to the wall. "When I get out of these chains I'll roast you." He tried lighting his hands on fire but it was working. "Is this adantium?" Belphimore started behaving abnormally, shaking and falling to the ground as if possessed by a demon. He abruptly stopped and got up from the floor. "Bravo Orphenius, bravo. You're smart," Belphimore said as he clapped sarcastically. "Why did you bring me here? What do you need from me?" "Me...! No, no, no. I'm not the one who needs you. Someone else se..." Belphimore started his episode again.

"Stay in you weakling."

"Give me back my body."

"You made me so deal with it."

"Wait. Wait. Let me deal with him, only for five minutes."

"Fine."

"Ignis," Belphimore said as he walked towards Orphenius. He threw the fireball into a lantern on the roof. "Stay away from me," Orphenius said as Belphimore closed on him. "You don't have enough time," Belphimore said as he took a key out of his pocket and unlocked his chains. When the chains were opened, Orphenius pounced on him, lit his hand on fire looked at Belphimore in the eye, and said in a threatening voice,

"Give me a reason why I shouldn't kill you." The boiling blood in his eyes was immense and he was filled with rage. Belphimore did not answer. "Answer or lose your life." Still no answer out of him. Filled with rage Orphenius was bringing down the fire on Belphimore's face but stopped when he heard a knock on the door. "Belphimore, we're needed back in school." "Okay. I'll be out with you in a minute." Orphenius got up from Belphimore and dusted himself.

"You can escape. I'm going back," Belphimore said in a cute flirtatious voice. Orphenius ignored him and Belphimore walked out the door. When the noise coming from the outside had stopped, Orphenius started looking around. He saw a slightly opened door in the corner of the room. He decided to check it out and was baffled by what he saw inside.

On the wall, the ceiling, basically every corner of the room was covered in photos and pictures of Orphenius. "What the heck is wrong with this guy?"
