Ok first of all I am so so so sorry! I know I told you I wolud've update right after my exams where done, but life came in the way I've been going througth some rougth stages in my life its hard to cope with it. And than my computer broke and I had to wait 2 weeks until I got it back. So once again I'm really sorry for the long wait, and I swear on the river styxt (or whaterver you call it) that I will try to update more often to catch up with all what I missed.
Piper's POV
"
Why?"
Jinx took a small step in my direction, but as soon as she tried she stumbled gripping her stomach.
"This is why," She said quietly, then, with shaky fingers, she sliced her palm in one slow smooth motion with the sacrificial knife.
Piper winced. "Why are you doing that?"
When Jinx had thoroughly sliced through up her entire arm, she breathed a sigh of relief, as if the cutting herself had brought pleasure instead of pain, then stood up trembling.
"I don't have long Piper. This knife is the only thing keeping me sane."
"Why? H-How?"
"We suffer from hightened emotions, Piper, they hurt us as much as physical torture. Lucy is stronger than us, she could deal with it. When my emotions were freed they were worse than ever before, they created another side of me, a darker side. it's over for me, there's nothing anyone can do to save me. The only way I can be myself now is by real physical pain, if i concentrate on it, it dulls the emotions, but it only lasts so long."
"Like being pinched when you've cut yourself."
Jinx nodded. "I don't have long before I'm lost into the Abyss forever, but I don't want you to suffer like i did and am. You've been hurt, I can help you."
"Why would you help me?"
"I wouldn't wish this curse upon my worst enemy, Piper, and you are my friend."
"What are you going to do?"
"I minimize your emotions. It's more difficult than my spell and requires precision and courage, but i will help you."
Piper looked at all the cuts covering Jinx's skin. I didn't want that, even now i could feel my emotions bubbling and boiling in my blood like lava.
"Please, help me."
Jinx's cup was shaped like big, bronze bowl. It stood out from the rest like a jack in the box. To Piper's imense impression there was not a single drop of blood in Jinx's cup. The ground rumbled and a pillar rose from the ground, Jinx carefully placed her cup on the pillar and it instently filled with clear bronze liquid and flames covered the side of the bowl, heating the strange solution, bubbled opaques spheres popping on the surface.
"Am i going to have to drink that?"
"If only," Jinx mumbled. "Now listen carefully. You put your hands in the bronze liquor and it will take you into the darkest depths of your mind,"
"I have to put my hands in that?"
Jinx smiled, what Piper guessed was the first smile in a long time. What would be her last. "We all have secrets," She continued. "We all have a dark side and this will take you to things you hadn't even realised you'd wanted, things you desbise about yourself, your darkest wishes, your wildest dreams even your worst fantasies."
Piper shivered.
"You must control yourself Piper, the images in your mind will make you want to stay, but also make you want to leave, you must come out when i tell you, if you don't it will all go wrong."
