I will never feel the same again. And that's kind of a good thing.

I told Corl about the breakup and thanked him for the advice he gave, knowing that without him I'd still feel like I'm trapped in a neverending loop of uneasiness and fear. On the other hand, while Alex doesn't want me to worry about him - after last time - I believe he, or maybe his demon, could be hiding behind different emotions. It's crazy how he's able to fake it so genuinely and easily. That's probably one of the "perks" you get with being psychologically insane.

I was now sat at my desk in my room with a plan of recording 4 videos and maybe working on my among us mods if possible. The trick was record a number of videos in a batch at one time so I'd have the following days free to do what I wanted. Smart.

When I had hit record though, I could hear a low whisper surrounding me. I flung off my headphones and looked around in my room for anyone trying to prank me. Nothing. The room was empty. I had started to question if I was a demon as well, but I dismissed that idea faster than I thought of it. Thorny vines had already started to grow around my wrist and around my room as my fear grew.

"Who the fuck is there?" I asked.

A friend of yours.

It sounded like Moonshine.

"Moon?"

Yeah, how's Elijah?

"Why do you give a shit? You almost killed him."

My soul isn't mine, I was forced to do it. But that's in the past right...We can look over it?

She was beyond insane if she really thought I was going to throw my hands back and let her get away with almost killing my friend. I heard a quiet laugh which made me rethink what was going on here. I was hella mad, but this felt like a trap. Sure, Moon liked to rub her shit in everyone's face, but Elijah is her favourite cousin. Something is not adding up here.

"If you're really Moonshine Angelica Light, why'd you hurt Elijah?" I said, smirking a little. The vines had retreated now that I knew I had the upper hand.

Upper hand? You're just as bold as I thought you would be. Exactly what Moon told me. Exactly what I'm looking for.

Before I could decipher what had just happened, I felt something hit my back and an unbearable pain seared through my body for what felt like an eternity before everything went quiet and still. My mind was in a constant swirl of dark thoughts I had once abandoned. My body felt numb and I couldn't scream. It felt like my past. I didn't want to go back there.

After the long hours of suffering in silence, my brain was put to focus on tasks which deep down I felt the urge to complete but at the same time didn't want to because they'd hurt everyone.

I am giving you the freedom to get back at anyone you want to. You are no longer entangled in the chains of human graces. Hurt all who hurt you.
