Find them, fight them, kill them. Find them, fight them, kill them. His mind echoed with the voice, driving him onward, nagging and pulling at him until he wanted to scream.
Ben stared into the darkness as he walked quietly, searching. They were near, he knew. They were coming for Miah.
Miah… The thought was torn away by the continuing chant. Find them! Fight them! Kill them!
He clenched his fists and stood still, staring at the ground. Find them! Fight them! Kill them! Find them! Fight them! Kill them!
“No.”
The voices shrieked, tearing at his consciousness, stabbing his mind, until he screamed in pain and fell. Find them! Fight them! Kill them!

“NO!”
Out of the dark, hands pulled him upright, shouting in his face, “Ben!”
“No!!!” he cried, struggling.
The hands shook him, the voice hissing, “Where is she?”
Another voice cried, “Connor, no!” He hesitated.
Fight them! Ben pulled his arm back to strike his attacker, but a fist knocked him to the ground, pain sparking stars in his eyes. The voices silenced. The world sunk in inky blackness, and he drifted away.
