Kill the girl... She's tainted. Evil. She will turn on you~

"No, no she won't. Only her skin is tainted! Shes fine" the scientist muttered

You know she hears whispers~

"And thats different from you because?!"

Oh, but am I really here? Or am I just a delusion~

"You are you real you monster!" The scientist stood up sharply, growling his words

Oh dear Lalna, Im not the monster~

Lalna could almost see the smirk that would be plastered on the voice's face if it had one.

"Now you listen here-"

"Lalna? Who are you talking to?" A female voice snapped him from his words. Looking up he was met with the curious gaze of Nano.

"Hmm? What? Talking, I wasn't talking to anyone" Lalna's reply was quite clipped causing his apprentice to cross her arms with a raised brow.

"I heard you speaking. Were you talking to yourself?"

"No I-"

"Lalna, I know you. You only do that when something's bothering you."

There was a pause. Yes, something had been bothering him... Something that no one knew existed...

"Is it the castle? I did tell you, you would have second thoughts after. Did I not?"

"Yes, Nano, you did. It's not that. It's something else..."

Though it was the castle that had caused the bother. As soon as he stepped foot inside that wretched lab of Lalnable's, something awakened, something that hadn't bothered him since the incident at Blackrock. Livid had returned in that lab, almost forgotten by the one burdened with it.

Livid liked the lab of Lalnable Hector. Livid was glad to be in it. Now that he thought more about it, the journal Lalnable had left said "our" in it. So either he was just insane or... Could Livid have something to do with that?

"...alna. Lalna!" The scientist became aware of clicking. He lifted his head, albeit he hadn't known he'd lowered it.

"Sorry Nano, Ive just had alot on my mind recently" Lalna pulled a quick smile onto his face, hoping to ease his apprentices worries. It seemed to work as her expression brightened significantly.

"Alright then, now would you like me to leave you to your thoughts or do you want to eat?" Nano grinned and Lalna chuckled

"I do like food, so I will come with you" smiling a true smile, he linked arms with his apprentice and hurried down the stairs of Panda Labs.

"So... What were you talking about? I mean when you were voicing your thoughts?" The two were currently seated at the little 'kitchen' Nano had made, eating freshly grown carrots and other foods from the apprentices small farm.

Lalna paused, placing his cutlery down on the table. He then proceeded to look his apprentice in the eye, pondering how he should answer.

"Well?" Nano persisted, having put her own cutlery down.

"Nano... I-it's nothing, you don't need to worry about it"

"No, Lalna, it is something and you know, that I know, you know it"

The scientist blinked, "Erm, what?"

Nano groaned, "I know something's up, and so do you! So come on spill, you can trust me" there was determination riddled throughout the fluxed maidens words. Lalna wouldn't be going anywhere any time soon when she was like this.

"Yes, I know I can trust you but..."

"But what? No buts Lalna. Something's bothering you and I want to help and thats that. So tell me. Please"

Lalna sighed and sat back deeper into his seat. His eyes lazily drifted around the room. Should he tell her? Tell her everything? Would she still be a friend, or leave him like so many have before. Would he risk it?

Yes.

"Alright Nano. Ill tell you, but... Promise you won't leave me if I do"

"Why on Minecraftia would I leave you?"

"Promise?" Lalnas eyes were pleading, and it was clear to anyone, that what he was about to say would be tremendously difficult.

Placing a hand over her heart and the other in the air, she vowed that she would not leave him.

Giving a small smile, Lalna took a deep, calming breath and began to tell his tail...

Oh no you don't~

A whisper like knives pierced his skull, causing him to grip his cranium in pain. Clawing and pulling at his hair, eyes scrunched up and teeth grinding.

"Leave me alone!" He shouted, pushing himself into a corner, leaning against tge wall heavily.

"Lalna what's wrong!?" He felt Nano place her hands on his shoulders, the motion easing the pain slightly.

"He-he's back... Nano, he'll kill us all!" Crying out in pain as another wave of daggers invaded his brain.

"Lalna calm down! Who's back?" Nano was begining to panic, she was never good at staying level headed in situations such as this.

"L-livid..." Was all the scientist managed to mutter before his eyes rolled up, under his eyelids and his hands fell away from his head like leaves in an autumn wind, before his whole world went dark, aside from the one thing that never left him, even in sleep.

Such a pity, really. She was such a nice girl~
