I was awaken by the sound of alarms going off, I immediately got up to check what the emergency was. I checked the monitors to see that it was nothing, the school was just having their mandatory evacuation drill. Although the school is more then shielded from outside harm. I closed my eye to take a deep breath before recalling what happened yesterday night.

Where'd Jack go? Why did he leave so quickly once we made it back here?

Suddenly I started to feel a sharp pain in my head, I let out a scream before falling to the floor and clutching my head. He was trying to take over, he got me to doubt my own control so he could be in control. But I wasn't't going to let him.

You want me to embrace my true self? Fine.

From that moment on, I let the darkness in, I stopped trying to contain myself to the light and I embraced my true self. It only took moments before I felt HIS voice disappear from my mind. I was now truly in control, I looked in the mirror to see that my red hair had once again become raven black, and there was now a him of red in my eyes, I took off my glass not needing them anymore.
