It's The Eyes...

Screaming

(A/N: My evil side had fun writing this chapter, MWHAHAHAHA! But seriously, I feel bad now.)

~SSundee~

I awoke feeling confused. There was an agonising pain in my abdomen where I guessed I'd been stabbed. I sat up and my head throbbed. I grunted in pain and rubbed the base of my skull, trying to soothe my terrible headache. I glanced round the room I was in and saw FireSpark passed out on a sofa on the other side of the room. I smiled slightly and looked up as Sky walked in. I immediately noticed he was limping badly. "What happened to your leg?" Sky bit his lip and my insides iced over as I realised what my psychotic alter ego had done to my best friend. "W-will it heal?" Sky shrugged and I felt worse than ever. Deadlox entered after him and smiled weakly at me. "Hey Ian, how are you feeling?" I rolled my eyes. "Like s***, but what else is new?" He laughed and I smiled. Sky sat down next to FireSpark's sleeping form and stared at her. "She saved my life in the arena." I grit my teeth. "She shouldn't of had to." Ty looked at me. "It's all my fault. Derp has hurt you all for the last time." Sky stared at me in disbelief. "No Ian, don't do this-" I took a deep breath and swung my legs off of the bed and walked over to the door, only to find Ty barring my way. "You're not leaving dood." Before I could stop myself, I heard a deep, animalistic growl escape my throat. His eyes widened, but he still stood his ground. "You can growl at me all you want, but I'm not moving till you explain yourself." "What's going on?" I turned as FireSpark stirred. She looked round at all of us, Ty barring my way to the door; Sky halfway off of the sofa, ready to spring into action if things got out of hand. Her eyes widened and her wolf ears went flat against her head in fear. "W-what's happening?" She glanced hopefully at me. "SSundee?" Ty scowled. "Ian's trying to leave." She gasped. "No! I won't let you!" Sky nodded. "We can help you Ian." I lost it. "YOU CAN'T HELP ME THOUGH, THAT'S THE THING! I HAVE A MONSTER LIVING INSIDE OF ME THAT'S TEARING ME APART EMOTIONALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND YOU SAY YOU CAN HELP ME?! THE ONLY THING THAT'S GONNA HELP ME IS IF I CAN GET AS FAR AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE I CARE ABOUT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!" I broke off, staring round at their shocked faces. "Before I shift into him and I can't shift back...before I become him." I choked out the last bit, the words tearing holes in my soul. I'd known this would happen since 3 years ago when I'd first discovered that Derp existed within me. I'd always known he'd become too strong for me.

He'd take over for good and I'd be trapped inside of him like he had in me for years. But it would be forever for me. My consciousness would grow weaker and weaker until I disappeared for good. I broke down as Sky and Deadlox stared at each other in shock, jaws agape. I felt something warm holding me and a warm, wolfish scent made my nose tingle slightly. I looked up through my tears and saw FireSpark gazing at me sadly. "It's ok SSundee, c'mon, let's go talk." I nodded and fought back more tears as she led me quietly out of the room. We walked out into the afternoon sunshine and sat down on the grass. She turned to me. By now my tears had dried up and I was left with a hollow, sinking feeling in my chest. "Now then, I think its time you heard my story Ian." I looked at her. "What?" She sighed. "As you know, I'm a werewolf. But up until a few years ago, I was having the same troubles as you. The wolf was taking over more than it should've; controlling me. I didn't want that. I wanted freedom." I surveyed the view from here. We had travelled far away from the city, away to the mountains and hills biomes. Here, we could see for miles; our house perched on top of a large hill. We could see everyone, but they couldn't see us. I turned back to FireSpark as she resumed her story. "Eventually I reached a point when I realised that it was all mainly psychological. If I thought I was too weak to fight against the wolf, I would be." She pressed her hand to my chest, over my heart. "It's all in there-" Then she tapped her head. "-and in here. If you believe you can overcome Derp SSundee, you will." I nodded. She smiled. "Ok, let him out." I stared at her, gobsmacked. "Are you kidding me?! He'll kill everyone!" She shook her head. "You can fight him Ian, I know you can." I shut my eyes. "I can't do this." I felt her hand on mine and took strength from it. "You can. I believe in you." I was about to reply when a bolt of pain struck my head and my eyes burned. I cried out as my head ached and throbbed. Her hand tightened on mine and I knew she was trying to anchor me in reality. "You can do it SSundee..." She whispered. I tried to reply but was cut off by a searing pain in the base of my skull. I could hear screaming from somewhere. It was getting louder. I shut my eyes tighter, trying to block it out. My lungs were burning and my throat and mouth were dry. I could still feel FireSpark tightening her grip on my hand as the screaming intensified.

It felt like something was being stabbed through my head while my eyes were being stretched and burned at the same time. Not a good combination I can tell you. With a jolt, I realised the screaming was coming from me. I tried to stop but the pain was intensifying. It had never been this bad before. Panic swamped me as I felt my consciousness slipping away. "No! No!" I yelled the words out loud and the terrible screaming finally ceased. I wrenched my hand away from FireSpark's and clutched my head. "Make it stop!" My voice slipped in and out as it grew hoarser. I knew I was weaker. "No! That's not what you know! That's what you think!" I heard myself yelling the words out loud over the ringing in my ears as I fought back. There was a brief moment of confusion and the pain ceased. I gasped. "I-I did it!" FireSpark sighed in relief. "I knew you could do it Ian!" I started to laugh, but felt a horrible feeling of foreboding swirling inside of me. I yelled out in pain as Derp's rasping tones echoed round my head. "It was never going to be that easy SSundee..." There was silence, then he unleashed everything he had at me. I cried out as people's dying screams echoed round my head. "This is what you've done SSundee...you've killed innocent people..." I screamed as white hot pain exploded inside of me. The wound in my stomach reopened and I could feel warm blood soaking into the grass around me. I could hear FireSpark's scream above the others and I knew she'd probably left me. "I'm not surprised SSundee, I mean...who would want to be around you? You've killed people in cold blood Ian, innocent people, people like Sky and FireSpark. You did it for fun..." "NO!" I roared. "YOU DID DERP! YOU KILLED THEM! YOU MADE ME SUFFER IN PAIN AND ANGUISH! I'VE HAD ENOUGH! I'M NOT TAKING ANYMORE OF THIS!" "Oh but you see Ian...I never said you had a choice in this..." I screamed again as Derp appeared in my head wielding a bloody iron sword. Then his eyes changed and it was me holding the sword. Me staring at the blood on my hands and clothes.

The horror and anguish in my eyes was tearing me apart. But enough was enough. Anger and hate replaced my fear and pain. I staggered to my feet. "I SAID: I'VE. HAD. ENOUGH!" Everything inside my head seemed to explode around me. My memories were burned away in the firestorm and suddenly Derp appeared in the inferno. "You've had enough have you?" I grit my teeth and stood my ground. The smoke was suffocating me and the heat was burning my skin, but I wasn't going to yield to him this time. "Yes! NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!" He grinned and I was struck by the insanity and bloodlust in his crooked eyes. "'Fraid I can't do that Ian." He stepped out of the flames. "You see, whether you and I like it or not, I'm a part of you. That's what you hate." He grabbed my arm and I went to punch him. He intercepted my fist halfway through and kicked my legs out from underneath me. "You hate the fact that I'm more powerful than you. You hate the fact that I'm murdering your friends and there isn't a thing you can do about it." He stared down at me, sneering. "Poor Ian. Poor, pathetic, whimpering Ian. You make me sick. You pretend nothing's wrong. You see, when this is all over, you're gonna be the one with time, and I'm gonna be the one with freedom!" I was horrified. All that time stuck in my head had turned Derp into a sick, twisted animal. "No...I won't let you." I choked out. The smoke was burning my throat. My lungs felt like they'd been ravaged with sandpaper. He laughed and it sounded like a cross between a choke and a scream. "You'll have too. Because no matter what FireSpark and your friends say, you'll never overpower me like you did before..." I slumped to the ground and felt my eyelids start to close. Derp loomed over me, an evil grin contorting his crooked features. His face was cast in shadows from the flames flickering around us. "By the way Ian. I know how you feel about FireSpark." He paused, savouring the moment. "I'm going to kill her first..." I was too weak to stand, but I could still unleash my rage verbally. "NO! You leave her alone!" He grinned. "You don't control me anymore Ian. Better get used to it, cus soon, you'll be the one locked up in someone's else's head. And let me tell you...it drives some people insane..." Then my head hit the ground and I blacked out...

(A/N: Hey guys, just want to tell you I've recently started a new book called: Love Has No Boundaries. It's basically a romance that has Derp SSundee and TC in. Thanks for reading! Baiiii! 😎)
