Someone was always waiting

No matter how hard Alpha tried to ignore them, they were still there. All forty-eight of them, talking and arguing inside his head, never giving him a moment of rest.

However, Alpha new that there were the odd few that just waited quietly. Waiting for him to close his eyes, to let his thoughts wander or for him to lose his grip on reality, if only for a few seconds and they would then attempt to take over.

The battles against those personalities were long and hard, ending most of the time with Alpha having one hell of a headache. The rest... Well, lets just say that a headache was the least of his problems.

He had once told Echo that they were blessed, ascended beings even. He now realised, while battling the urge to grab his knife that was sitting on the edge of a dirty and used table, that it wasn't a gift.

He was cursed. A curse he would just have to live with.
