She lay dead, and it was I who killed her. The deceased body of Wuya lay crumpled on the ground as well. I quickly summoned the cats to dispose of her- I didn't care how, but I wanted it done.

As soon as it was, I pulled the other body closer to my own-still kneeling on the cold, marble floor.

Her placid face gave the impression that she was only asleep...her pale, icy skin contradicted that impression.

There was a faint buzzing in my ears-as if a part of Wuya was still in my head.

Playground school bell rings again

My vision started to blur, and a lump rose in my throat.

Crying? Have I really been reduced to this?

I quickly blink, banishing unwelcome tears.

Rain clouds come to play again

I reach down to brush stray bits of hair out of her face, as if trying to fool myself into thinking that how she looks will ever matter again.

"You do know she's dead...right?"

A voice interupts my thoughts. I recognize it.

Has no one told you she's not breathing?

I know who it is, but I don't see her.

Kacie...

"In your head, genius."

Another familiar voice adds to my confusion in an annoyed tone.

Amy...

I suddenly understand.

I had KJ's voices in my head.

Hello, I'm your mind giving you someone to talk to...Hello...

Three of them laugh. The other one keeps quiet.

"This doesn't make sense." I say aloud, hoping they hear me.

Laughter once more.

"KJ died by your hands. The murderer must take the weight of the murder." Kacie spoke again.

"And that weight is you four?" I ask.

Silence.

I assume that I am right.

It's my turn to laugh.

"This is a joke." I mutter to them.

If I smile and don't believe, then soon I know I'll wake from this dream.

"No...No it's not."

Carmen...

"When we set you straight- make you quit your evil ways- then, maybe, we'll leave. But until then, you're stuck with us."

"There's nothing wrong with me." I find myself snapping back. "You won't accomplish anything by staying here- find a new host."

Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken.

"But what about Serena?"

Serena...What about Serena?

They must've heard me.

"She's already depressed-she needs you as a host."

Why?

"Because you're strong."

I give a slight smile, which quickly fades as the mental image of those blue eyes of hers pop into my head.

It was them, showing me Serena's current state.

KJ had turned me soft...

"I'll be a host for her, but for no one else." I say clearly.

Hello, I'm the lie living for you so you can hide...Don't cry...

"IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT."

Amy's voice, followed by a ten second migrane.

The three laughed loudly at once at my pain. Another headache threatened to taint my mind.

Was this what KJ heard all the time?

Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping

"We know everything about you, Chase Young."

"You killed her and now we'll slowly kill you."

"You must take on the weight of the murder."

"STOP." I command loudly.

Hello...I'm still here

They obey.

I now understand her...Everything about her...The things that made her who she was...

KJ...

I wanted them gone, but I wanted her back.

With laughs and no explanations, the four leave as quickly as they had come.

I sigh and look down at her withered body.

Gently, I pick it up.

All that's left of yesterday...

Hello...
