Author's Note: Written late September. Character exploration at it's weirdest. It's kind of confusing.. ENJOY! R&R!
Disclaimer: Characters to heroes.
Control
Screams. Shattering. Cold.
"Be yourself."
A cliché.
So easy to accomplish for some.
Harder for the more timid few.
Impossible for her.
Each new personality took her over, and no matter what effort she made, Nikki was always simply dismissed. Stuck inside her mind, no way of escape, no way to make the horror she watched cease.
Why was every new personality even more powerful then the next? The few moments she had had in control, she pursued these answers. From the very little her mind had let her learn, she had collected that her brain was far more developed then most others.
"People only use 20% of their brain. Did you know this?"
The parts if the mind that stay forever unaccessed by a normal human being were being tested daily; developing the alter egos that took over her body. One of the 'personalities' had tried to explain the process; but it only made Nikki feel more inferior and used.
She wasn't like the others, who had naturally developed their incredible talents; she simply had the ability to unearth unnatural, physical abilities held captive in every human mind.
But it was just a test. She knew that.
She was a pawn.
Forever and always had been. Blackmail was the ignition to her 'duties', spilled blood in exchange for the continued heartbeat of a loved one.
She had had enough.
She pulled the weed from out from the root.
One life ended was the only sacrifice needed to receive her freedom.
But her mind had other ideas…
"PLEASE! SOMEONE! STOP ME!"
"Please, Nikki. The begging just makes me seem weak. And you know how I feel about weakness…"
Few words followed.
"You know NOTHING of weakness!"
Gunshots.
Nikki felt the pain ooze through her body… Her mind… She was finally in control.
Control. Came with sacrifice. Cold. Silence.
