Powerless struggle
For a moment Aldrich was struck with uncontrollable fear, he almost believed her.
After all she knew that he was from Wakefield which very few people knew, and the way she talked about his mother… it sounded so believable. She also took away all his powers somehow.
But she didn't seem to know about the nightmare realm. That was strange, if she knew so much about him then how could she not know about the source of his power?
Only that she couldn't hear his thoughts about the nightmare realm for some reason, Aldrich didn't need to know the reason now, he just needed to use that to his advantage.
"If you know everything then can you tell me about the nightmare realm?" Aldrich asked.
"… what was that? Can you say it louder?" She demanded. And Aldrich could sense some impatience in her at last. Anyway, the experiment was a success.
"I said the nightmare realm? Aren't you death? Aren't you the thing that is beyond my perception?"
