.:Divided Mind, Divided Body:.
The life and mind of Edea Kramer, or Sorceress Edea as most knew her, was complicated. Far too complicated, to be precise.
If only they knew! If only they could see she was not controlling her actions. If only they could see from her eyes, known what she had known, the helplessness...the anger...the sadness...
Edea, despite what most people thought, for it was only her opinion that mattered, had mental breakdowns sometimes. Of course, this had come from, and had always been a result of Ultimecia borrowing her head.
Oh Edea was still there. She had never left, for she could not, nay, WOULD not be shunted from her own body like a discarded piece of trash. She fought her bonds, like any other.
Edea sat in her chair, the mask on, listening to President Deling talk with one of his aides. It was infuriating to her, though her face was hidden, and beneath her mask, her prison, her face was anything but slack.
Her face reflected great anger and sorrow. She couldn't get free.
It is pointless, oh my host, to try and eject me from your mind. I shall not leave, no, I WILL not leave. Ultimecia laughed, inside of her head.
Edea could feel her temples throbbing. Oh how this vile, infantile mockery of a sorceress ticked her off. I hate you...My SeeDs will never let you find Ellone. Never, you hear? She snapped, staring straight forward.
She felt her face slacken as Ultimecia took control. Oh really, my pet? I have my Knight, Edea...Seifer will secure it for me. My stupid imbecile of a knight. Nevertheless, he shall secure this for me, whether you agree or not. The sorceress answered, leaving Edea to mentally squirm as she prepared herself.
Rinoa's voice could be heard across the room. Who is that I wonder? Ultimecia drawled. What are you planning?!? Edea shrieked, mentally.
She'll be the perfect sacrifice to teach these dear people the danger of whom they are dealing with. Ultimecia continued, taking control of Edea's body, to go out and make the speech.
NO! You...you witch! I hate you! Get out of my head! Go! Be gone! For all her protesting, and screeching, nothing was happening, and for the moment it seemed, Ultimecia was ignoring Rinoa.
Oh yes...but first, the dear President.
She felt her own fingers flexing as she attacked the President, unable to stop Ultimecia from using her own body.
The carnage only continued, as the parade started.
You can't get away with this...Edea snapped. Oh yes I can, and I am, and will. Don't you see Edea? You've already lost...She laughed again.
Shut up...SHUT UP!!! She answered, glancing over to Seifer.
However, Seifer wasn't looking back. He was staring forward, a smirk playing on his face. He knew. Oh but of course, he knew. And he wasn't doing a damn thing about it.
Edea's body stiffened as she heard the sound of a gun go off, and Ultimecia cast a shield, making the bullet rebound.
Edea continued to scream inside, continuing to try and gain control, but she couldn't.
She watched Squall fall, defeated, as well as herself.
I'll be free one day and you'll die. Edea promised.
We'll see. We shall certainly see...Ultimecia laughed, her sharp and shrill cackling echoing in the depths of her mind.
