'Dammit i'm getting soft! Why am I feeling bad for this brat that killed my son, and his accomplices?!' The angry part of him shouted from the inside.

"Because he's still my son." Vincent sighed shaking his head.

'He's no son to us! He killed Sep! He murdered him! In cold blood! And you know he'd do it again!' The angry part of his mind argued.

"He didn't mean to." Vincent tried to argue back.

'He did mean to. All of this sadness thing is just an act to get everyone's sympathy. It's disgusting.' His mind snarled.

"I'm not trying to get anyone's sympathy." Vincent huffed.

'He's no different from you. He enjoys killing as much as you do. And who knows who his first solo kill is going to be! It might be you! That's why you need to kill him first!' His mind hissed.

"It'd be a fitting death. Killed by my apprentice." Vincent sighed.

'So what's stopping you?! Kill him before he kills you!' His mind egged him on.

"He's my son!" Vincent hissed.

'What does that matter?' his mind growled.

"I don't want to hurt him" Vincent said.

'Blood and personal ties should not stop you! This damage can't be fixed with just a few words!' His mind hissed. 'He's not our family, i've made sure of that. There should be nothing stopping you.'

"You can't persuade me this time damn it. He's my son no matter what you say." Vincent scoffed crossing his arms.

'Why do you continue to see him as your son? He might not even be your son, knowing Susan. For all you know, neither of them are. You should feel no relation to them!' His mind scoffed.

"That maybe true but still." Vincent sighed sadly.

'We agreed for both of our sakes that relationships were dangerous and compromising. If you won't do it, I will. There must be no one, I repeat no one, to tell on us. Not even Sep.' His mind growled.

"And I see the reasoning in it, but we're not hurting Sep nor Gil." Vincent hissed.

'And why not? In the end what's the difference between family and a stranger?' His mind hissed.

"Because I love them." Vincent huffed.

'And there's your problem. You love them. The very thing we agreed never to feel. Look at all 'love' brought us. It gave us Scott, only to tear us away from him. It gave us Septhis, only to tear that away too. It blinded us to Gilbert, and now look what's happened because of that brat.' His mind hissed.

Vincent fell silent and hung his head with a sad sigh.

'It gave us Susan, only to open us to love's true face. And I believe the words were 'till death do us part?'. She seems to have failed that end of the bargain. As have many others.' His mind added.

"True but" Vincent said softly.

'But.. what? There should be 'but' nothing!' His mind barked at him.

Vincent sighed.

'But. What?' His mind hissed.

"Nothing" Vincent sighed.

'Then what are we waiting for? Let's get vengeance.' His mind chuckled.

Vincent gulped a bit and sighed. "Because I still can't bring myself to hurt Gil." Vincent said in an almost whisper

'Then I will.' His mind growled and there was the sudden familiar feeling of his other self trying to take over. Vincent shook his head.

"No I don't want to hurt them" He whimpered the familiar pain in his head making him collapse to his knees as he held his head in pain.

'You won't be hurting them, I will. Now come on.' His mind chuckled darkly.

"But you're going to use my body to hurt them. They won't see it as you, they'll see it as me." Vincent hissed.

'Come on, it will be so much easier if you'll just let me do my work.' His mind sighed.

"You're going to hurt them and as a father I won't allow it." Vincent huffed.

'I won't hurt them, i'm going to kill them. Big difference.' His mind sighed.

"Oh well that's completely fine is what you want me to say but there my kids, I don't want to kill them." Vincent growled.

'And why not? What makes you want to defend them so bad? Is it Susan? I thought we agreed to eliminate her.' His mind sighed.

"I love them. Fatherly instincts. No, I don't care what happens to her as long as the kiddo's are alright." Vincent sighed.

'Just let me take over. You don't even have to watch. And what has Gilbert ever done for you? Other than beg and beg for attention and throw a tantrum when he doesn't get it.' His mind grumbled.

"He is still my son, and I know I haven't been the best of fathers to him and I want to make it up to him. If he's dead then I can't." Vincent sighed.

'If he's dead then you can start over with someone else.' HIs mind pointed out.

Vincent fell silent and sighed sadly.

'You could just kill Gil and Sep and run away, find someone else and do things right. You made them, you can make more just like them' His mind grumbled.

"But it wouldn't be the same." Vincent said weakly.

'You could make it the same. They'd never know. Gil would be dead and as far as Sep knows you might have died or something else might have happened.' His mind chuckled.

Vincent sighed weakly. "I can never win with you can I" Vincent grumbled.

'You've been trying for years. I've yet to see you win one. Though this is the first time you've fought me on something' His mind chuckled smugly.

"I don't like to argue so you know this is damn important to me if I do." Vincent hissed.

'So what will it be?' His mind chuckled.

Vincent sighed and hung his head. "I'm already breaking down. So if your oh so fucking willing to kill me then go ahead i've put up my fight to try and win." Vincent said weakly.

'Good choice!' HIs mind said smugly, as everything went black for Vincent, and when he was looking again, everything was slightly purple tinted.
