I applied the medicine to Raven and washed off the controlling signs on Eve. It was a pleasure to be back, an extreme pleasure. They understood what I felt. They forgave me. And...I was someone new. Someone reborn. Maybe it was out of love. I don't know...but it felt good to be back.

It was night, the moon was up, the stars twinkling. I heard mutters from the room down the hall, and opened my door, but the voices ceased as the door creaked. Satisfied, I closed the door, and slept in peace.

Something soft touched my lips. I slowly opened my eyes, and saw Elsword, his face grinning as he kissed me. I smiled, sneaked my arm around his neck and dragged him downwards, bringing him closer to me for embracement. We kept the kiss, first soft and enjoyable, then hungry for pleasure. I blushed, feeling the tip of his tongue enter my mouth, entwining with my tongue. I clutched his shirt with one hand, but instead of pulling him closer, a wave of nausea rushed over me. I pushed him away, my face boiling. It was my first time doing a french kiss.

He frowned, still close to my face, his hot breath against my neck. I was still hungry but...waves of nausea rushed over me in continuous waves, and I let him go and rolled away, dropping him onto the bed. I darted towards the bathroom and shut the door, turning on the lights and air conditioner.

I washed my hands, splashing the cold water onto my face. It was cooling and refreshing, especially after that hot session I had with Elsword. Just thinking about it gave me headaches, and it felt...right. But I couldn't help but feel the stares of others, Rena stared at me then looked away, with an annoyed expression written on her face. Eve was the same, emotionless face and all, but she tapped her foot in irritation. Ara looked fearful, looking back and forth, she trembled and avoided conversations with me.

The boys were the same, they talked to me constantly, and told me they forgave me. Elsword would tell me he loves me, hugging and kissing me in public, making me blush. It was humiliating, how he made my heart beat, but I don't know if it was a lie or not. But, he was so intense this morning...Surely he loved me, didn't he?

I shook my head, my suspicions are just getting to me. Why do I ache for a truth that I might not enjoy? But truth is better than lies. The sun was setting, the breeze was blowing. Rain splattered onto the ground, forming mud. I walked along the stone path, my own shoes clacking against it. I walked to the hotel we currently resided in, we were constantly on the move. I was steadily getting stronger, and I was learning new magic from my change.

As I entered the hotel and slammed the door behind me, I could hear voices still. The same ones from last night. The hotel was strangely silent, and I quietly edged towards the only lighted room, and thank god for the rug, it softened any creak I made. I leaned my head against the closed door, and split my legs apart so they wouldn't look underneath to see a shadow behind the door.

Those voices...they seemed...familiar. Rena? Ara? Eve? Chung? Raven? Add? I don't hear Elsword, he must be snoring in his room.

"Ugh, did you see Aisha? Look at those clothes she's wearing. Before, she was a flat-chest but now, she's got bust. Bigger than Eve now, eh? She's grown."

"Yeah, but those clothes show too much cleavage. I agree she has grown, but those clothes probably have push-up bras underneath it. That's what makes her breasts look so big. When does she care about her appearance? She's such a bitch. She's got all the boys looking at her. A real slut."

"I agree completely. She recently rejoiced with us, and expected us to forgive her. Thank god Elsword doesn't know we're talking about her. He would throw a baby tantrum."

They giggled, and my heart started hurting. My head hurts. My heart hurts. What's going on? I held my hands to my head, hearing one, two, no, three voices at once hurtling their yells at me. Kill them. How dare they?! Kill. Why do they have to put me through this constant pain? Aisha, don't give up! We'll get them. Instantly, I was inside my mind, looking at two of...me. The third voice wasn't there...where was she? Then it clicked in my mind. The third voice was me. That third voice urged me not to give up. The first one was my elemental self, and she was crying tears of sadness and begging me to just pretend as if nothing happened. My mind begged me to not give up, to let them go. My final self, my unforgiving self was crying but...tears of blood?

Her eyes were blood-red, completely different from my lavender self. She was forcing me to not forgive them, to kill them. Elsword will be yours forever...No. He loves me unconditionally anyways. Eve is no problem, she loves Chung. But they love each other, why are they constantly insulting me, torturing me, even when I healed Raven of the curse I previously put on them? Then the answer clicked in my head. Of course. I was originally their toy, the scapegoat. I broke away, flying free. Now...now, I was just their toy again, and they were using my love against me to keep me entrapped here. Once again, I'm a bird, stuck in my cage.

JUST TO GET RID OF THE LOVE PART IN THE LAST CHAPTER :D
