So, uhh... There's a little timeskip from the last episode to this one, so I'll fill you guys in. Nekoshi and I had managed to recruit some more members for our little clan. Not with ease, but hey, at least we got the job done, right? I figured out how to use my abilities, but Nekoshi's still learning his. He ended up throwing himself at a wall with the concrete pavement below him. I don't even know how something like that could even happen! Oh well, it was funny, so that's all that really matters.

Now we're just trying to learn the routes of the city and its outskirts, but something weird happens. So sit tight and get ready for what's coming.

We were wandering the outlines of the city, learning all the roads and ways around them, when I suddenly had some sort of headache out of the blue. "Ow..."

"Mh? You good?" Nekoshi asked, a little worried.

"Y-Yeah, I think so. Just a little headache..." I had replied, rubbing my head in pain.

Then all of a sudden some voice appeared in my head...
"It could get worse, however. Way worse." It boasted.

"What the-?" I was startled by this voice that I ended up physically reacting too.

Nekoshi got a little more worried as he noticed. "...You sure?"

"I... Yeah, yeah. I'm fine." I said. I didn't want him to worry about me too much, so I just denied it. Then I started to feel weird... My legs felt weak, and my arms felt like I didn't even have control anymore. Like someone else was spinning the wheel. I slowly fell to the ground. "Shit..."

Nekoshi then immediately noticed, and began to catch me. "Woah-!"

I, however, was on the unfortunate side of things. I didn't necessarily feel... Safe, even in Nekoshi's arms. Sure, it's conforting how soft his fur is, but that didn't seem like enough. I started to breathe heavily, as I felt an urge coming my way. Not just any small urge, no. It was the urge to kill. This was bad. And the fact I was barely in control of my body anymore made it even worse.

The cat holding me only saw the half of it though. "Oh God, you're not in control, are you..?"

Using the last of the steering left in my body, I shook my head, signalling I was in that exact situation. I said something else following onto that. A warning. "You need... To restrain my movement... That or put me somewhere else... Preferrably somewhere with not a lot of people..."

"I'll try..." And with that, Nekoshi tried to run as fast as he could, carrying me towards anywhere that had no people in it. He managed to find a seemingly empty lobby, which looked like there was no sign of people there from where he looked at it, so he chucked me in there and waited a few meters away from the building for me to finish off what I needed to do. Little did he know there were people in there. He just didn't see them. Then the door closed, leaving Nekoshi oblivious about the situation, thinking we were safe, and me in that lobby getting ready to start a killstreak.

After that, well... Let's just say it didn't really end well. For both me and the people that were caught up in the situation. 13 people in the lobby, apart from me. There were no targets, no bad guys. Just people. People that didn't know what was coming to them.

I was stood in there, shaking. My heartrate skyrocketed, My breathing shortened, and my eyes were darting around everywhere. That was before I locked my eyes on someone. My body jolted and moved itself towards them, before I brought out claws and sliced their whole torso off. Then I ended up ripping their organs out of their flesh, and dismembering them by slicing their head straight off the neck. The other 12 people ended up going the same way. After all the brutal killing, I regained control of myself, before looking around at what I had just done. Then I collapsed onto my knees, completely traumatised.

"We made a deal, remember?" Something said. It was the same voice from before. I was able to identify who it was from that deep and devilish tone.

"What..?" I questioned, confused.

"You said that you would go off back to the real world with your newfound abilities if you let me take control of your body whenever and however I want."

"Yeah, but... I didn't expect it to end in murder-"

"Oh, you must've been really naive to think that such a demonic creature like me wouldn't resort to killing people."

"That was 13 people you just killed. In my body. That was a terrible place to start."

"Relax. Just clean off all that blood on you. I'll take care of the bodies."

Then the corpses that were laying on the floor faded out of existance.

"Fine... But you're still liable for this."

Then I went and washed all the blood off my hands. How am i gonna get through all that..?

I came back out of the now empty lobby. Nekoshi had a devastated look in his eyes. Seems like he knows already.

"I fucked up pretty bad, didn't I..?" He said.

"Mmhm..." I replied. "But that was my little angst phase over. I don't wanna remember this, alright?"

"Okay..."

We took off straight back home, to avoid anything worse happening.
