I cry out in pain. Liam just laughs.
" That is music to my ears", he says, as he digs his knees deeper into my back.
" Now I'm going to finish what I started", Liam says.
Liam grabs my left arm and shoves the needle into my arm so hard that my eyes start to water. Then I get an idea. I pretend to go limp. I felt him push the lever down.
I wait a few seconds before making my first move.
I feel the pressure from my back lessen. Bad mistake Liam, I think in my mind. It takes almost all of my strength and energy to flip him off of my back.
I stand up, but as soon as I stood up Liam tackled me.
This time I land on my back instead of on my stomach.
"You're hurting me!", I yelled.
" You brought this on yourself becoming a leader. Stepping into the underworld with no way out of its mess", he says.
" I most certainly did not, bring this on myself. I did it for my dad and dead mother, so they can be proud of me for once", I tell him.
