Arnett tried his best not to appear anxious since that was the one thing that would only get him deeper into trouble. The teenager looked back at him with an unwavering gaze, staring directly into his eyes.
Arnett felt like he had fallen under a spell. He couldn't look away or think properly. He could feel someone prying into his brain as if it was a box of toys. His deepest thoughts were being pulled out from the root.
He felt like crying, like shouting for help but he knew no one would come. No one ever did, not even once. All he could do was sit there and take it.
Thankfully he was interrupted soon after by one of the other teens. It was the same girl that placed the barrier around the door.
"Viper, what's the plan now? You said you would tell us more once we got into Argham and here we are."
This teen was in fact Eurig the Viper himself. He had managed to somehow "change" bodies with his own grandson not too long ago. (Ch 656/657)
