The secret life

The secret life. chapter 81 A change in views.

When I had a good deep breath contemplating on what I had just learned I came back on. But I wasn't fully calmed down. That horrible experiment and now I know what it was for. What Rani was trying to do with it. Then I thought about how that experiment would add in with her plan. They would be able to control me whenever they wanted. I couldn't breathe. I was stuck in terror at what would happen. What they could do with it. I didn't want to be controlled. And nightshade saying he could finish it. I didn't like it at all. I held this important piece of information in my head. For now I knew one more piece of the big puzzle that made up thier plan. And I would use it.
When I pulled myself together I continued.
"For you maybe. No idea what I went through with that forced thing. Blimey. Though you wouldn't care" I say slightly shuddering and remembering all that I felt during and after that experiment.
"I know what it's like to get experimented on.I do.I do it differently with a lot less pain and forcing involved." Night Shade says, trying to relate. I couldn't believe what I had heard. And my heart grew soft. Was he just misunderstood?
"Well that sounds better. But your a shadow being aren't you? You have no physical form. How can you get experimented on?" I ask.
"Dream reality.Someone caught me in one.Suprising right?" Night Shade explains.

"Who caught you? And yeah that is very suprising"
"Never got their name.I was really young,so I wouldn't remember there name anyways." Night Shade replies.
"Hmm how old were you? exactly how old are you now? I am suprised. You know you don't seem very evil just like to have your fun and mess with people. I'm not certain but you just seem misunderstood. And now I'm curious. Quite wanting to learn I mean I've never met a shadow being before. You would be my first. What's it like being you." I reply full of energy and wanting to learn. Wanting to help this possibly misunderstood enemy. Being curious and full of joy at learning. Just like my dad would get when meeting a new alien species.

"It's like....well I don't know how to explain it.I was about 5,6ish when that person experimented on me first. I'm not sure how old I am now though." Night Shade finishes. It was getting late so I decided to leave more questions for the next day. And find out more about this misunderstood enemy. I thought to myself. Was he really just misunderstood? Having something bad and horrible happen to him then just not sure how to react so taking it out on other people? What was his backstory? I wanted to learn and understand. But was there a way to do that even though he still attacks and hurts my friends along with me? Could I trust him? I had no Idea but right at that moment I would think of this ancient enemy of mine as just misunderstood.
The next day. I got on longing to chat with my dad. So I decided to see if nightshade would allow me to talk to him.
"Can I chat with 11?" I ask.
"It's to early for me to have to take Ashley alllll the way over there and then make sure she doesn't try to escape." Night Shade complains
"Ok why don't you just keep them in the same room then you wouldn't have to deal with that"
"Because then they might escape that's what I was just saying and I need to rest soooo..." Night Shade comments. The after a few moments he gives in.
"Ok fine you can chat with him"
"Katrina!ashley!" Eleven exclaims.
"Dad! I've missed you" I reply not meaning to say the exact same thing I said the last time.
"You don't need to say that every time I see you you know." He adds
"Sorry. I just love chatting with you. Plus you are easy to miss. I found out some things"
"AWWW you are too.Whatd you find out?" He asks.
I hesitate telling him knowing how uncomfortable I was about it. "Well night shade being in my mind came across what Rani did with it"
"Oh.Thats bad." He answers.
"So I found out what the whole test she did was Trying to do" I continue. Still hesitating.
"Well what was it!?" Eleven replies in anticipation.
"Mind control. Unfinished." I finally say.
"Oh that's really bad but really good." He answers.
"Only the vocal was finished. Which I'm not to happy about either one Meaning Rani could make me say anything. That or nightshade. But blimey" I reply.
"Well Atleast it's not that bad.A vocal is something you can fight off.A mind control ISNT." He replies seriously. Making me slightly worried again, filled by a shudder.
"Since it's unfinished that means Rani would need to come back to finish it. I'm not looking forward to that.. I don't want to be mind controlled..." I admit.
"Neither am i....There's screaming again.Rani or river must've woken up." He describes.
"What's been happening with them? Or are you in another room and can't see?"
"They're in another room and we can't see but It's probably the fact he's separated them." He explains.
"Yeah. I'm also not looking forward to the dream reality thing. Especially now that spring break is practically over" I continue.
"It's scary when you first enter...." he answers Making me nervous again his words sticking in my head.

"There is a confused River here! Because she thought that night shade hurt me or something and that he was just very very evil and not somewhat brotherly and kind. Aaaaaand River just knocked out night shade while he was offering tea.wow." Ashley explains.
Hearing River was there I had the urge to talk to her. "Hi River!"
"Except for the fact Shes repeatedly punching night shade...." Ashley comments
"I thought he was already knocked out?"
"He was,and then he woke up and now he's knocked out again." Ashley narrates.
"GAHH RIVER STOP IM NOT HURTING YOU STOP!" Night Shade pleads. Making me almost feel sorry for him.
"River just tie him up or something" I say not liking her punching him.
"But I can't!" River replies
"WELL COULD YOU JUST STOP HITTING ME IM JUST OFFERING YOU TEA!" Night Shade yells.
"I CANT.I have an inability to do that." River argues.
"JUST STOP HURTING ME PLEASE!" Night Shade pleaded.
"Oh man. Just something else then punching him..."
"Well Night Shade got knocked out again....and River finally stopped punching him." Ashley describes.
"Phew. I know he did things but I'm not much for violence..." I say.
"That was a lot of anger over tea..." Ashley comments.
"Well he took rani somewhere so he deserves it." River rationalizes

"Ok. So he's attacking Rani too?" I ask.
"Well he didn't really do anything to us....but still!He could be planning!" River exclaims.
"Ok I wish I could help"
"Ok...so if you could not punch me again....that'd be great... Now...as I was saying....sugar or no sugar or do you not want coffee River?"Night Shade says.
After that whole thing with River I wondered. What if he was lying? What If it was just an act to see how gullible I was. And at that moment I was reminded again. Nightshade was my old enemy. The nightmare that haunted my roleplays, and dreams. The one who's all this time been hurting my Friends And family. If he would of been just misunderstood he would of just let us go. Told us his backstory. Stop doing all this.
River had a reason to punch nightshade. And I was blind to it. Nightshade wasn't to be trusted. He was a trickster And evil. I couldn't trust him and I had to make sure ashley didn't either.
"Now...as I was saying....sugar or no sugar or do you not want coffee River?" Night Shade continues.
I thought about what River said about him planning and I knew it was probably true. He must of had some sort of plan. And I was determined to figure out what it was.
Especially since I realized that whole nice speech was just an act. So what was it. I glared at the screen and continued.
"what are you planning nightshade?" I demanded.
"Planning?Well to really be honest I don't have an exact "plan" Night Shade replies.
"What have you been doing all this time then?" I ask pushing my suspicion further and testing my point.
"Um....things!" Night shade answered rather skiddishly
"So how about the original plan you had?"
"Oh yeah that....that's not a plan thats more of a thing." He answers once more avoiding what he knows is my suspicion and realization on what he was doing.
"Hmm sounds like a plan to me" I prove my point.
"I don't really have a plan exactly.But you should be happy I don't.Look how far I've gotten without one.Im sure with a plan I would've gotten a lot farther quicker." Night Shade answers Still trying to deceive me but I could see right through his lies. And was determined for him to reveal what he was doing.
"Hmm. I'm well aware of plans that are slow played out. So don't try to deceive me." I say boldy knowing all this time has been plans that are slow played out and I was now an expert on spotting and knowing them.
Nightshade answers revealing that I had defeated him in that and exposed him. "Clever girl."
I closed my tablet to take a break. I had gotten past his little act. I couldn't believe myself for buying into his nice act. And now I forced him to prove he had a plan. I would now always be suspicious of this ancient old enemy of mine. Because I knew him better than anyone. He couldn't deceive me.
