Incongnito

Chapter 7- A form of non-truth

"A fox!" A woman said excitedly when I slivered through a small spacing hidden through a puzzle matching maze area. She grabbed me by my scruff and hugged me tightly. I growled ad bit at her collar.

"Let me go uh you!" I yelled. She hugged even tighter. "Where did you find this lil' guy, Abt?" She asked ecstatically. Abt sat down on the floor next to a guy that was sitting next to a crate. I growled and clawed out of her arms. I jumped onto the concrete wall and dug into the wall. Luckily I stayed there, pasted on the wall.

"What?" The girl muttered her hands open and empty. Abt looked at me still confused but by accepted my... abnormalities.

"I can't deal ugh. You can just turn into your human form, no need to try to stay in that form." Abt said looking away and at the guy beside him. I quickly turned into my human form. In the next moment I was planted in the ground. It didn't hurt but it was uncomfortable that sand was crawling at my nose and at my lips.I quickly lifted my face.

"Ugh." I moaned and wiped all the sand off and stood up shaking the rest of the sand off.

"You're small," Abt said blankly. I furrowed my eyebrows.

"No, I am not!" I argued angered. The woman excitedly jumped up and down.

"How old are you even?" Abt asked with a slight giggle.

"Uh um I'm 15?" I said squinting my eyes at them. They stared at me with dead silence. From an opening, a large ferret like Torment walked into the room on their back legs. They looked proud of something.

"Hey, guys I..." They began saying pushing their glasses anime style but once they for a moment stared at me they instantly fell to their knees.

"My great king!" They said proudly, crying of happiness. An even more awkward silence fell on the room.

"I hate this," I said, the Ferret looked up at me.

"God I hate this so much." I sniffled, tears escaping my eyes. Everything that has happened to me the last few days has finally struck me deep in the head and heart. I fell to my knees and dug my head into the sand.

"Why-why-why. Why did I have be the damn Torment king, why did I have to be brought here,why did I have to throw Catherine off killing her in the process, why did I have to threaten Icarey, why the hell did I have to kill Callin, why the hell did I agree to join that god-forsaken group, why the hell did I have to chase around that freaking fox that caused all this mess." I went into the hot sand. I couldn't care less about what everyone around was reacting. I pulled at my hair trying to cause pain but of course, I'm one of those damn fox creatures who doesn't have the ability to easily obtain pain. I don't want this, I want to go back to normal. I want to go back to being Jeremy, an average teenager who likes video games and who sucks in academics and who is a complete nerd. Jeremy who didn't decide to go outside in their yard despite being a little sick and somehow upon meeting a creature was instantly cured, Jeremy who was quick to temper and who would get annoyed by comments like soul-less ginger and medal Freckles, Jeremy who was a human.

That will never happen.

Please, I never asked you to sprout trauma into my life.

You may not know it but no matter what interferences You and I will have always been in this body.

You're lying!

I'm not surprised you're trying to fight against me.

I will never listen to you monster!

A monster you say?

Didn't you listen!

You've become a fine monster yourself then If I'm one.

I'm not a monster like you!

Yes indeed, you are way worse than I am.

I'm not a monster!

Sweet Jeremy did Callin or anyone said I killed anyone?

Of course, you killed, probably so many they couldn't count!

Well, you are wrong. I never intended to kill but stay here until my planet was once restored. When you killed Callin and Catherine I was never near. You killed them from your free will.

You cant trick me! You're just trying to shut me down!

Why would I ever do that?

So you can take over my body!

If I did that we'd both die, the only thing I can do is take away your sadism for mere moments so that logical sense can help you.

Then why did it feel like I was caged?

Its hard to explain but taking away your sadism is like taking away your life. You are it.

I still don't understand.

You don't really need to but the only thing you need to understand is that the only way we can work together is that we merge our souls or else we will forever be at war, internally.

Will it hurt?

Not at all.

I guess the way you put it... I can't really say no, can I?

Not really but calm down first.

I snapped back to reality. The ferret was rubbing my back comfortably. No humans anywhere close, which made a little gladder. I closed my sore and swelled eyes, my tears faded away after a bit. I looked at my hands, I had pulled out a few hairs.

"I'm sorry you had to go through all those horrible things. My king." They said after I looked up at the room and dug my hands into the sand. I noticed that my mask had formed again but this time it was completely different.

"Where did Abt and they go?" I said slowly and quietly.

"They ran away, my league." The ferret said a little startled I had spoken. I'm not surprised, your comment that the Jeremy is kingless and then they appear right in front of you. I stood up slowly the ferret tried to tell me to rest but I can't just stay there on the ground now, can I?

"Why are you here in the first place?" I asked them. They startled looked at me.

"Uhm you would probably not remember but you assigned me to research and nurture the delinquents." They said fiddling with their fingers and shifting his glasses a bit. I scanned him for a moment.

"What happened with your leg?" I asked looking at their steel and iron leg. He looked at it questionable.

"Oh, this? While researching a fire broke loose and a large steel frame fell on it and such collapsed on itself such I got a new one." They said fidgeting with his automail leg. I stared it for a few moments before I turned into my fox form and walked into the other room.

Just saying, before we merge there will be at least an hour or so when I can't do anything to you, so everything will get back to you so just... try not to kill too much.

Wait why would- Before I could finish that thought a static feeling sparked throughout my whole nerves system. Before I could even lose control I felt my power coming back. But this time I felt so much more free, so much more... will.

I fell to the ground, exhausted and tired. 52 minutes went by, which means that I have 8 minutes to experience my last freedom. I shifted my eyes, scanning the space around me. White, black and... red. So much red, it was like a rose field. A large blood was drawn shape gram of endless patterns committing sweet fragrances escaping from the spiral idea.

47 roses, 47 hearts, 47 drops of blood and 47 deaths. A laugh escaped my blood red mouth. It may have only been 3 humans and the rest Torment but still. It was still different types of Torment, small and big. The king was naturally furious about this but that made it only more fun to do.

Was it fun hurting me?

Naturally.

Well, say goodbye to your last few seconds.

What I still have-
