"Complicated? How complicated?" I ask walking out of the bathroom. 
"It's a crazy idea!" Ava yells loudly. 
"No, it's genius!" Evelyn yells back even louder. 
"Same thing" William shrugs. 
"Crazy does NOT equal genius, you both are so stupid" Benjamin sighs as we enter the room where they all reside. "Very different things" 
They continue to bicker without acknowledging my presence. Something about murder, arson, and other illegal topics. The only sane one is me and Benjamin. Evelyn's crazy, William is agreeing with her, Ava is short-tempered and keeps picking fights. Benjamin seems sick of his shit just like me. The other senior soon jumps into the argument and so does Ben. 
I feel like I'm forgetting something or.. someone. 
I mentally facepalm. Liam. 
While they're arguing, I sneak away to where Liam was. 
I walk into the room to see him asleep. How can he sleep in these conditions? Or he's unconscious- or maybe even dead... I shake off the thoughts and approach him carefully. I can't bear to see him chained like an animal. No matter what he did. This... This isn't me. He hurt all of us sure, some more than others but even so I am not a monster and I will never stoop that low. No matter what one has done, torture is not my thing but it definitely seems to be Evelyn's in some cases. I have a feeling William would agree with her a lot. He would kill Liam if I let him which I don't. 
Liam opens his eyes, soon realizing what was happening. "Sebastian? What are you..?" He asks me out of curiosity with a hint of suspicion. I stay quiet. I grab the key out of my pocket and reach to each of the chain's locks to unlock it. 
"What the fuck are you doing Bash?!"
"This is a bad idea!" 
He quickly finds his balance, leaning against the wall. 
After a moment of silence, I decide to speak up breaking the tension, "You... Why?"
"Why what..?"
"You know exactly what Liam, What's the point of all of this? I knew you had changed but this? All this? You are not well" 
"You're going to get us killed.. so bad" 
"I don't have a choice"
"As I said, You will always have a choice. I didn't think you would go this far for whatever it is you want" I shrug moving to one of the drawers in the corner of the room. I open it grabbing some alcohol and bandages. This room was used for nursing but now it was just some spare room. I paid attention when he gave us a house tour. It would've come in handy to memorize everything. "Sit on the bed," I say pointing at the small bed in the corner of the room. He nods with no protest and does as he's told. I walk to him and place the items on the floor as I crouch. 
"I have an idea to end this all, don't speak just listen to me"
Great, what the hell does this guy have planned? It can't be anything crazy... or dangerous- right? I move his shirt up a bit. The wounds go on and on. I work on patching him up and wrapping bandages around most places and across his chest.
"Let's start a revolution"
I choke at that statement. My eyes widen in confusion and shock. Liam looks down at me and raises an eyebrow. "Are you okay?" He asks.
I hurriedly nod. 
"It all started with the president who's a cruel motherfucker, she's the reason this organization was founded. They keep reelecting this bitch! It's horrible"
I sigh pausing what I was doing. "Who do you work for Liam?"
"I can't tell you"
"President Savannah Beverley?" 
She has such a white and basic name. I bet her parents neglected her, that's why she's like this. I know how she can be. My mother was friends with her till she turned. 
Liam hesitantly nods. I bite my lip trying to hold back everything I want to tell him right now. I turn my attention back to his bruises and cuts to finish patching him up. I stand up once again and stare at him. "I'm going to make your life hell" I dryly say. 
A small grin starts forming on his face. "I'm not done with you Sebastian," He says as I watch his eye color fade away into something dark.
"This- it's a problem! Sebastian Gonzalez, RUN!" 
I cross my arms and can't help but giggle. "He's not going to kill me" I let the shapeshifter know before turning back to the inhuman creature in front of me. "God! I am stupid! You're one of them huh? Is that why you're acting like this? You don't want power over the people, you want to control creatures. You want to be seen as the most powerful person ever, even if your parents are monster hunters" I continue speaking with a laugh in between. "You used me as a test subject for what? To find a way to convert the whole world into something else just so you can rule over it? What was happening when you thought this would be a good fucking idea?!" The amusement wipes off and I start to get angry, raising my voice at the last bit.
"Fuck... I'm never leaving this dimension, I am a dead man"
"You're not even listening to me are you?" I scoff. 
Liam speeds toward me pushing my back against the while pressing his hand against my throat. 
"Sebastian, quit pissing him off!"
"I'm not letting you... us- die, don't worry!" I say between gasps. My breath slowly starts to cut off. My red-eye starts to glow. I extend my hand to the side and a knife quickly appears in it. I tighten my grip on it and slice his stomach, avoiding any vital organs. He lets go of me holding onto his stomach. My mind clears and I slightly panic. "I just stabbed him!" 
"Pft-  fuck yeah you did" 
"I swear I didn't mean to!" I babbled. 
"Oh I know, I did that! Don't worry and I didn't kill him, he'll be fine"
"Using my body? That's so messed up!"
"Well you were going to kill us"
"You're are one crazy dude"
"What can I say? I'm a wildcard"
I chuckle and lean down to Liam's eye level. His breathing was getting heavier. It didn't slice through much and he's not exactly human so he'll be fine. I can't live with the fact I killed someone. I know it was technically them but still! He used my hands to stab him. 
They're going to be the end of me.
