subconscious.
And this tree, that I’m now bonded too, represents your connection
to your conscious mind. See, you have done me a HUGE favour by
attaching me to it. I’ve been trying to take over your mind during
the entire questioning.”
    I stood there
with fear racing through my heart but as we stood in silence,
nothing changed. “So why haven’t you taken over my mind yet?”
    “ I’m trying to,” she said annoyed. “I’ve just never done it
before while your soul was still in the body.”
    “ So, you won’t be able to?” I asked growing a little
confident.
    “ I never said that,” she snapped as she struggled. “I just
need more time.”
    She continued
to struggle and I sat down on the ground in front of her. After a
minute she stopped and just stared at me with hateful eyes.
    “ Aww, is someone stuck?” I asked in a condescending
tone.
    “ I am not, I just can’t...seem to...move,” she answered
reluctantly.
    “ Same thing,” I smiled.
    “ I WILL kill you for this,” she hissed.
    “ So, it would appear that my soul is too strong for you to
take over and because you’ve bonded yourself to the tree of my
consciousness, you can not leave my sub-conscious. Am I right?” I
asked.
    She sighed.
“Yes. There, are you happy? I screwed up.”
    “ I’m not happy,” I said. “What does this mean now? When I wake
up, I mean? Am I now possessed? Half possessed? Are the Teachers
going to know that I have a Demon in my mind?”
    “ Stop asking so many stupid questions and let me think,” Cathy
snapped.
    “ Sorry,” I said standing up. “This whole Demon business is new
to me.”
    “ Well, this whole ‘being stuck in the subconscious’ thing is
new to me as well,” she said.
    “ So, we’re stuck working together to get you freed?” I
asked.
    She sighed.
“Unfortunately. But do me a favour when you wake up.”
    “ Ok?” I said.
    “ Don’t die out there,” she said.
    “ Are you worried that you will die as well?” I
asked.
    “ No,” she answered with a smile as the fog drew near us. “I
just want to kill you myself.”
    “ How can I resist an offer like that?” I said sarcastically as
the fog slowly engulfed us.

Chapter 5
     
    I opened my
eyes slowly to see the morning sun streaking across the ceiling. I
sat up quickly and looked around the tiny chamber and breathed a
sigh of relief. I was back in my bedroom on the Archive floor in
the Tower of the Watchful Eye. I chuckled and shook my head at my
need to confirm my reality.
    You call this reality? A female
voice asked annoyed.
    “ Who said that?” I asked the room as I looked around. The room
was still empty except for the tiny dresser, desk and end
table.
    Weird.
    What is? The female voice
asked.
    Who is
this?
    Your mom. Who do you think? The
female voice asked annoyed again.
    Cathy?
    ‘ Bout time you got that, she
said. Out of all the humans in the world,
I’m stick with a dink who can’t rub two brain cells
together.
    I grabbed my
head and started to rub my temple.
    How is this
possible?
    I’m stuck in your mind, she
explained slowly . I can hear you think but
I can’t see or hear anything else. This is very irritating, by the
way. I’m stuck with your pathetic thoughts as my only means of
understanding what’s happening around you.
    Can you just
not listen?
    And do what? She asked.
    The door
opened and Keeper Anderson gave me a weird look.
    “ You’re still not dressed?” he asked. “Come on, boy, hurry up.
There’s some stuff I need to run through before the morning
meeting.”
    “ Uh, right,” I said as I threw the covers aside.
    Keeper
Anderson shut the door as I crossed the room to the dresser. I
pulled out one of the black robes of the Keeper and threw it
on.
    What’s going on now? Cathy
asked.
    I have to get
ready for the day.
    What do you do? She
asked.
    I don’t have
time to answer.
    Well help me out here a little, she
said.
    Look, I can’t
be stopping to narrate my life to you. If you want to be the
