Akuma's POV:
As I watched the world from the eyes of my host, I suddenly felt as if I was dying again. That's right. Again. When a ride malfunction at the Serenity Falls Water Park flung me from the top of the water coaster as it lurched around the bend and took my life, my soul split. The lighter side faded from reality while I was left to find someone to inhabit as I was turned away at both entrances. I still remember the day as if it were yesterday. Half dragging my mum and dad through the enormous gates. Waiting excitedly in the line for the ride. Feeling my seatbelt give way and the sensation of flying over the rest of the ride and slamming into the water with such I force that I became paralysed. The panic that quickly set in as I sunk like a rock in the water. The last thing I remember about that day...the feeling of calmness as death slowly tightened his grip on me. I woke up a day later to a heart rate monitor flatlining. To a horrified group of family members huddled over my bed. I could see myself. I looked.. fractured, pale and shattered. A shell of who I once was. Then I took a good look at my new body in a nearby mirror. I looked terrifying. Ink black skin, gleaming red eyes, claw-like nails, tussled black hair and chipped goat horns. My original body was littered with cuts, bruises and marks from landing on the water from such a height. I didn't want to be there, so I ran. I ran off in search of someone to house me. First a girl called Chloe, then a teenager called Jason. I tuned them into monsters, just as I now saw myself. I found a young teenager around the age of 14 one day. Kayleigh. I've been with her ever since. I know all her darkest secrets, all her most wanted desires, every single embarrassing moment. Her mind is me. I am her. I want her to know my pain. I want her to feel the slow pain of death, to feel the sudden realisation that the grim reaper has his boney fingers around her throat steadily crushing her air pipes. I want to stand back and watch her struggle at keeping her head above a rushing river. I want her to become a monster. But today, I felt myself being ripped from her body. It felt like death all over again. I found myself encircled by a group of people. An older couple who seemed around 45 years old, a 24 year old male, three young girls who ages seemed to range from 8-12 and a young boy who looked about 9. Suddenly I felt something I hadn't felt for years. Fear and sorrow. I knew that her family had died and yet I still tried to hurt her even more. This feeling was quickly overpowered by anger as i brought them all down to their knees before sliding back into Kay. I fell over myself trying to reach her eyes, so that I could watch the rest of the day pass. Screams. Pain. Fear.
Death. I wanted Kayleigh to hear and feel everything I had that fateful day. She had to.. I would make sure of it...

A/N: don't ask why this is coming out at 3:00am my time. I lost my sleep schedule after two months of good sleeping =-=
