Voices

Renee's POV

-------------

I've never felt so much anger in my life. My entire being shaking with hate at the man with green eyes. Even more hate at what I was now. I plunged my fingers through my hair, tugging and yanking. " Don't hurt yourself..", a phantom voice filled the room. " What! Who's there!" My heart leaped, fangs already bared at nothing. "I'm the devil well, angel on your shoulder," the voice, a man's, echoed with humor. " Don't talk to me in riddles, show yourself!" I snarled looking around.

" If I wanted you to see me you would have."

" But i'm hearing you-"

" Because I wanted you to."

Alright.. he wants to play a game. " I don't want to hear you. So get out of my room," I glared at nothing. " Ahh but you do if you want to beat that vampire scum." A pause. " I can help you with this..." Hmm so he must hate vampires, " What do you have to gain from helping me?" A deep and honey like chuckle filled my senses, " You'll see soon enough. Let's get ready for this scuffle shall we?" I walked slowly to the bed and lowered down softly, furrowing my brows. " Before you ' help' me I want some answers." He spoke softly, " Go on."

" First of all who and what are you and second, how are You going to help me if you're not even going to show yourself?" A feather like phantom wind caressed her face making her shudder, " I'm the person who's going to help you and I'm a-" My lips turned further down at his hesitation. " I'm in your head," was his response. I went deathly still, nails tearing into the silky sheets. " Get out."

" Renee!" A knock on the door startled her from her momentary shock. Pearl peeked her
red head through the door, a mouth watering scent wafting from whatever she held behind the door. " Do as she says," he hissed into her mind. " Kai has requested.. well demanded that you feed," her emerald eyes swam with apology. She edged into the room holding a blood bag in her pale fingers. Pearl set it down on the dresser stiffly, my eyes trailing her every movement. " You know, I do hope we can become friends," I was about to retort back when a wave of calm flooded over me. The frigging hell was that!? I was suddenly thrusted into darkness then back again, I felt my lips turn up sweetly. " I'm sure that is a possibility," I didn't say that! Pearl grinned back, " Good luck tonight, may Nyx send you her power." My eyebrow raised, " Thanks, you can go."

She seemed slightly surprised at the polite dismissal and left, clicking the door shut.
