Dinah

I did it again. I had listened to the voices inside my head and I hurt her. I used my words to slit her heart open and let her bleed, and that feeling would forever be with me after I said those harsh words.

"I hate you and your family, Lauren! I don't want you near any of my friends or our daughter because you're terrible. Stay away from me and Mariah or I'll kill you."

The words kept replaying in my head over and over again, along with the images of her breaking down in front of me. Her eyes had started to turn red, tears gathering as she listened to me speak. She hadn't fought it and I could understand why, I had destroyed her. I had built her up and then broke her down the way the voices had told me to.

I wish I wouldn't have because I loved her more than she would ever know, but I just couldn't stop myself. The voices told me to and I couldn't control myself. They had left but once she went into a coma they came back. She had saved me from my demons, but once again, while I was alive, they were here.

"Hey Dinah. Can I talk to you?" Mariah was standing in the doorway, a red robe around her body and I could only imagine what she was or wasn't wearing underneath.

A smirk slowly spread over my lips as I nodded. "Of course," I whispered and leaned forward on my desk, leaning my chin on my hands as I watched her.

She smirked back at me and pushed the door shut, walking towards me.

I couldn't do this anymore. I couldn't be with Mariah anymore. I just couldn't. I didn't love her and this didn't feel right. I needed Lauren. I needed my wife and child.

The voices in my head would have to leave because I was in control. This was my life and I was making the decisions. I had to be with Lauren and I had to be sane again. I wanted to be normal again, not that I had ever been. I wanted to start I guess.

I was laying in bed, Mariah in the bathroom taking a shower with the door open. I could see her naked figure behind the blurred glass and I felt a cold presence next to me. "Do it," it whispered in my ear and I felt myself sitting up and reaching for the dresser where there was a gun. "If you want your family back so badly, kill her." I tried to tell myself no, but my body didn't listen as I walked towards the bathroom. "One shot, that's all it takes," the voice said and I felt the shadows creeping up in the edges of my vision.

"Dinah?" She asked and I felt my body stop before it kept going, my mind trying to stop myself as I pushed the glass door open and pointed the gun at her. "W-wha-" The gun went off with a bang and I watched with satisfaction as warm blood spilled from her chest.

"You can never get rid of me Dinah. I am you, this is what you do," the voice whispered in my ear as I sat down in the shower, looking at Mariah's lifeless body. I started to laugh, humores by my own entertainment. This was what it felt like to be bad and I had forgotten how much I loved it.

Two hours later, she was gone, packed away in a bag and on her way to the ocean in ashes. There was a faint smile on my lips as I sat at my desk, filling out sheets of paper to establish new laws. I had been too nice. Anyone who didn't follow me needed to be punished, and this new law would make sure they were. I didn't want anyone starting an uprise.

"Mrs. Hansen, we have received word that the body had been dumped and disposed of. No evidence was left," agent Horan spoke and I smiled at him, the feeling of pure power filling my gut.

"Good, that's good," I answered, going back to my papers.

"Are you okay boss?" He asked and I raised an eyebrow, looking up from my work to the pale blond haired boy.
