I used to think the voice in my head was just... me.

But it knows things I don't.
It remembers things I never lived.
And now, it's starting to take control.
It whispers when I'm alone.
It answers when I don't ask.
It laughs when I cry.

They call it my conscience.
I call it "The voice that isn't mine."

(The sequel to The Price You Took) Cherish. The name feels distant, like an echo from another life-a soft whisper against the storm still swirling inside me. It used to mean something. It used to be me. But now, it's just a word, a fragile thread of identity that doesn't quite fit anymore. The world around me is sharp and muted all at once, the colors too vivid yet too hollow. I feel the weight of my body, the rise and fall of my chest, but it's all mechanical-like a distant observer watching through a glass pane. Every breath feels like a borrowed motion, every blink a practiced routine. And the energy... It's not a wild, untamed force anymore. It's not clawing at me, threatening to consume me. No-it's something else now. Coiled and quiet, like a predator resting just beneath my skin, waiting for a signal. It doesn't rage-it listens. It waits. I push myself upright, my movements fluid but unfamiliar, like I'm learning how to use my body for the first time. The storm within doesn't resist; it moves with me, silent but ever-present. There's a voice in the back of my mind-faint, pleading-but I can't make out the words. It feels far away. Muffled. Someone calling for her. For Cherish. But I am not her. Not anymore. I stand, the world tilting for a brief moment before steadying itself. My fingers curl and uncurl at my sides, testing their strength. The pain in my right hand is distant, almost forgotten, a phantom ache that no longer commands me.

She....I....... I was running through the thick branches, pushing the leaves out of my way with all my might. I had to get away. The wet, brown, ground made it easier for me to slip and let her red, chilling hands slip around my innocent, scarred body, not knowing where she would take me next. I was almost out of breath, but I had to keep running if I wanted to make it out of this forest alive. My red dress was getting torn to shreds, and my hands and feet had mud all over them. My long, bushy brown hair was getting hooked on every possible branch, making me push my hair in the back of my dress, just like I used to when I was forced to cook everyday for my loathsome 'parents'. Returning back to the real world, I had to stop otherwise I would black out. I took a few seconds to catch my breath silently, and to look around to see if she was there behind me. I was looking up at the tall, old tree when I heard a twig snap behind me. Just like in the horror films. I turned and ran in the same direction, not daring to look back and see her wretched face fixed on my body. I sprinted and sprinted, but slowed down when I saw I was heading to nowhere but a ragged cliff. The unknown would me known if I continued to run and jump. I stopped two metres away from the cliff and looked down to see a valley so far down. If I jump..... I die. If I let her take me..... the unfair horribleness awaits me. I had no choice. I jumped.
