Breaking down

{Dagger's POV (First Person):}

I woke up being back at the castle. No one was really around, so I assumed they had probably all just gone off and done their own things. I sat up with a groan, feeling pain run through pretty much my whole body. God fucking damnit.. That bitch really did a number on me huh?

I managed to get up and was able to walk decently well,  however there was a sharp pain in my chest. My only guess was maybe a broken rib or something, but it's not like there was anything I could have done about it. Dude, broken ribs are not normal. That needs checked out. I heard Killer say. Ok but what the actually hell am I gonna do? Have you forgotten what we look like? We can't just go to a hospital. I'm gonna just have to deal with it.

Breathing had started physically hurting, and I was even more sure now that a bone may have broken from getting thrown into a tree like 5 different times. I went up to the bathroom and found some Ibuprofen, and took a few pills, probably more than I should, but I wasn't worried about that right now. I just needed to ease the pain a bit if I could. Did I know this likely would do nothing? Yes, but at the moment I didn't really care. I just needed to try something. I had to lean against the counter for a bit, just needing to catch my breath for a moment. Fuckkk, why did this have to happen? Why has any of this happened? I feel like it's been so recent that we merged. But it's been months. Hasn't it? My life was actually normal then. But now all I've been experiencing is things fucking up my life more than it was. Hell I had been a fucking lab rat for weeks. I'm basically a full on monster at this point. There's barely any fucking humanity left in me.

I felt myself starting to shake. My grip on the counter tightened as I tried to steady myself. God what am I fucking turning into. I never asked for any of this. So why the fuck have I had to go through so much?  Tears started to form, but I wiped them away, continuing to try and calm myself down. Maybe I could stop this from happening this time. Maybe. Maybe I could finally handle things like this on my own. Maybe I didn't need help. 

I did though. I always did. I didn't know why I thought it'd be different this time. I ended up just letting the tears fall. My thoughts were all over the place. So all over that I didn't hear the knocking on the door and a voice asking if I was alright.

{Lucifer's POV (First Person):}

After telling Tavnora and Ash about who I had seen, we decided to try and figure out what they wanted. "They surely couldn't have known anyone was gonna be hear. But they definitely know now. Which means the humming is likely a taunt to try and creep us out. Overall though, they seem harmless. As of now at least."

"Do you think they may have any motives against us? Even if it's just because of grudges their other half has with one of ours." Tavnora said after I explained. I nodded. "They might. From what I've been told about The Copycat, he wasn't exactly very liked by most monsters. Specifically Nightmare's team. He apparently taunted them the most and was constantly getting in the way of their missions and all that. But I doubt he'd actually have a grudge on them. More like they'd have a grudge against him."

They both nodded in understanding. "So we'll probably be fine?" I nod. "We should be. Unless they decide to be annoying and fuck around with us. Which might happen, but it's less likely. And even if they do decide to, I can handle em, I'm likely stronger than them by a lot, so I just wouldn't worry too much." They both seemed a bit relieved knowing there wasn't an immediate danger from Kat, which was good. I was honestly relieved too, knowing at least whoever they were would likely not be a big threat.
