"It's nice to see you again" A voice said and Kiara turned around to see the same figure in the dark hood from before.
"What do you want from me?" She asked and the figure foiled down her hood to reveal the demon looking features, the two couple of red eyes glowing brightly.
"I want to make sure your little friends never forgive you" The figure answered and before Kiara knew it, they were both standing in a pink room filled with stuffed animals. And in the round bed a familiar girl was laying curled up, sound a sleep.
"What do you think Blaze will say when he finds out you killed his little sister?" The figure asked, walked up to Sunfire, and used her long claw like nail to brush away the long red hair, revealing the girl's neck.
Kiara stared at her.
"Such a pretty little girl, and so sweet too…" The figure began and placed a hand on Sunfire's exposed neck. "I hate everything sweet" And before Kiara had time to react, the figure had pierced its nails into Sunfire's neck. The small girl let out a whimper, and then became quiet, her chest no longer moving up and down.
"No!" Kiara yelled, as loud as she could, and ran up to Sunfire. The figure stepped away and held up her hand, the nails had blood on them.
"Sunfire, please…" Kiara mumbled as she kneeled by the bed. "Please don't be dead" But Sunfire couldn't hear. Her eyes were closed and her lips parted slightly. She never had a chance.
"Kiara, Kiara…" The figure said while shaking her head. "She's gone; you should know that, you killed her"
"No, you killed her!" Kiara yelled, tears staring to build in her eyes.
"You foolish girl, I am you, I live inside you!" Kiara stared at her through watery eyes. But when she looked back at Sunfire, Blaze was lying there instead, and as she looked around, she realized they were in his room now.
"Do you want to wake him up and tell him Sunfire's dead, that you murdered her?" The figure asked. "Or should remove the pain from his shoulders and kill him too?"
Kiara stood up and looked at the figure. "You stay away from him!" She yelled. "You stay away from all of them. "They're my friends!"
"Friends" The figure said and grinned. "How pathetic!" And then she did something Kiara didn't expect her too, she fired a red energy beam, much like Kiara's own, right at Blaze. His painful scream hit Kiara's ears and she closed her eyes afraid to look.
Then everything went quiet.
"Look at him" The figure said. "Look at what you've done" Slowly, Kiara opened her eyes and looked at Blaze. His emerald eyes were open, staring out without seeing, his face blank… and soulless.
"No!" Kiara yelled.
"Who should you kill next?" The figure inquired. "How about your no good parents? That sounds like fun doesn't it? Or how about a trip to Steel City, I believe Archie and Lynne would confess their feelings if they met in death…"
"No!" Kiara sat up panting; she was covered in cold sweat. Although she still felt relieved. It had just been a dream.
Or was it? A voice said in her head and Kiara's eyes widened.
She recognized that voice, it belonged to her demon self.
'This can't be happening'
It is happening. I live inside you, just like you said. And trust me, I will destroy your little friends one day or another.
'No! I won't let you'
You can only stop me by destroying me, and you can only do that by destroying your self…
Kiara gulped. She couldn't let the demon inside her destroy everyone, she had to stop her, there had to be a way…
Raise your hand! The voice in her head ordered.
'What' Kiara thought.
Just do it.
Lowly, Kiara raised her hand, only for it to start to glow black. The beam fired and hit a glass vase filled with flowers. The vase exploded and the flowers burned up, all in a loud crash.
If you want to stop me from doing that to your little friends, you know what you have to do, destroy your self.
Kiara got out of bed and sat down next to the amount of broken glass on the floor. Slowly she picked the biggest and sharpest piece up and looked at it.
There's no other way… The voice in her head said over and over again, in a chanting rhythm.
-----
Blaze ran a hand through his hair as he left the bathroom and headed towards his own room. Man it was hot in the tower tonight! He took a note to never forget to open his window on a warm day again, he could barely stand being in his room, and he was only wearing his pyjama pants.
He wondered if he should go out on the roof top for a while, cool him self down a bit, and look at the view of course. But, his dad would kill him if he got caught…
Suddenly, a loud crash sounded through the hall, a crash that came from Kiara's room!
Blaze didn't think before his feet reacted. He ran towards Kiara's room and pressed the opening button, almost breaking it in the process. The door opened and his eyes widened at what he saw.
Kiara was sitting on the floor, a sharp piece of glass in her hands, pointed at her self like a knife. She didn't seem to notice him, like she was in some sort of trance. That's when he realized what she was about to do.
"Kiara, no!" He yelled and with three steps he was by her side, pulling the glass out of her hands. He cursed slightly as he cut him self on the sharp edges, and then threw the piece away in a corner.
He managed to pull Kiara up on her feet, despite her pounding his chest violently, trying to break free.
"Let go of me!" She yelled. "It's the only way to stop her!"
"Kiara, stop" Blaze said, trying to get to her. "It's me Blaze!" She continued to pound and shout.
"You don't understand, she's going to kill everyone if I don't stop her!"
"Stop who?" Blaze asked and was finally able to grab her wrists, keeping her from pounding him even more. "Kiara, look at me!" Finally, she seemed to hear him.
After blinking a couple of times, she stared at him.
"I… I…" She didn't seem to be able to get the words out.
"What in the world were you doing?" Blaze asked in a determinate voice. "You almost killed your self!" He let go of her wrists and looked at her with intensity. "Do you hear me? You almost killed your self!"
"I had to stop her Blaze" Kiara answered, with a bit more confidence, although her eyes seemed to being to water.
"Stop who?" Blaze asked again and now he could clearly see the tears building in her eyes.
"Me" She answered.
"What are you talking about?" He asked, not understanding what she meant.
"She's a part of me" Kiara began, her voice a bit thick. "She's going to kill all of you if I don't stop her, I… I saw you die Blaze, she killed you, you and Sunfire… and she was going to kill my parents!"
Blaze took a step closer to her and carefully placed a hand on her back, pulling her closer to his chest. "It's okay, I'm still alive, we all are, it was just a bad dream… just a dream"
He led her to her bed and she sat down, looking very lonely and vulnerable. He turned around to leave but was stopped as someone grabbed his wrist. He turned his head around to see Kiara, with tears in her eyes.
"Please don't leave me" She begged.
He was surprised. Was this the same Kiara? It couldn't be. No, this wasn't the strong independent Kiara he'd got to know… this was just a scared little girl.
He sat down on the bed next to her and she moved away so that there was more room for him. There was no harm in him staying there until she fell a sleep right?
He looked at Kiara where she lay, in her black shorts and her matching black top. She looked so… out of place.
-----
Kiara opened her eyes slightly, only to decide to close them again. She remembered the dream she had about her demon copy, and a shill went down her spine.
That was when she realized something, her pillow felt weird, hard in some way. Then she realized something else. Her pillow was moving! Up and down, up and down. Realization dawned on her and she slowly looked up.
She was lying on Blaze!
She let out a yelp which must have woken Blaze up, because he twitched and fell of the bed and on to the floor.
"What are you doing in my room?" Kiara shouted at him as he rubbed the back of his neck. Then she noticed his well tones chest. "And why aren't you wearing a shirt?"
"You asked me to stay here, remember?" He replied. "I must have fallen asleep waiting for you to fall asleep"
"What in the world are you talking about?" Kiara asked.
"You almost killed yourself!" Blaze answer and pointed towards a pile of broken glass on the floor. "If I hadn't barged in at the exact time I did, you would have been dead!" Kiara looked at him. A weak feeling of recognition began to build up, but she didn't know why.
"You said you had to stop her" Blaze continued. "And then you said that she was you, man that dream must have done something to you, when I came it was like you were in some sort of trance"
"I… I need to think" Kiara answered got out of bed and shoved Blaze towards the door. She was just about to open it when he grabbed her hand and pulled her closer towards him.
"Are you sure you're alright?" He asked with concern. Kiara turned her body around to face him.
"I'm fine" She answered. And then, something unexpected happened. The door to Kiara's room opened.
"Kiara, are you-" Raven closed her mouth and just stared at the two teenagers in front of her. Kiara stared back and then realized how the scene had to look.
She and Blaze where standing close together, he was still holding her hand, and he wasn't wearing a shirt! Plus, she was only wearing a couple of black form fitting shorts and a top!
"It's not what it looks like!" She instinctively said and felt how Blaze dropped her hand so fast she didn't have time to react.
"She had a nightmare!" Blaze said. Also realizing what Raven had to be thinking. Raven said nothing. She just eyes the two teens who were looking very flustered.
"I…better get back to my room now, yeah I better do that" Blaze said, left Kiara's side and made his way past Raven, who didn't let her eyes off him. "Oh, and Raven, could you not tell Changeling about this, or my dad… actually could you just not tell anyone I was in here, 'cause they would all just jump to conclusions, yeah… bye!" He hurried down the hall towards his room, leaving mother and daughter alone.
"You want a real explanation for that, don't you?" Kiara asked and Raven nodded.
