Re Stalker
Chapter 2
Twin Hearts
Darkness, nothing but darkness everywhere. An expansive void of nothingness surrounds a sleeping silver haired girl. Quite some time passes as she is floating before slight stirrings are witnessed. Signs of her waking up are eventual, the chance for a peaceful rest disturbed by nightmares.
Flashes of memories occur, being bullied at the boarding school, being teased, demeaned, vilified for actions she never committed, occur in her fragile mind.
The last straw was when those animals tried to violate and rape her body, she blacked out completely. She cannot seem to recall what has occurred. All that is heard from her still slumbering state are ramblings:
"Subaruuu, Subaruu, please I need you. Where are you, I feel cold, empty, lonely, destitute without you. I feel like the human garbage I am, I feel like a parasite that just leeches off my parents.
I am nothing without you my love, I am pathetic for needing someone to stay sane but I cannot help how I feel this way. If we were together from the beginning, none of this would have happened.
Why is fate so cruel? Why must we have been separated for so long and across oceans.
All I want is to sleep next to you, to be one with you. To pledge my all to you. This is just not right, it is not fair.
Why are we not together. Why did *hiccup* my parents separate us. I need you so badly my beloved. It is an urge, a desire, a feeling of absolute certainty that you are the one for me, as I am yours.
We need to see each other. I miss you, cherish you, adore you, would DIE for you. Please let us meet together and be ok, please let us live a life worth living.
My love, my heart, my everything, my absolute in this cruel dark world we live in. I just know if I see you we will be ok.
We will be great, nothing will get in our way as we achieve our goals one by one. This is a fact, it is an unshakeable truth, that I desire you as I feel you desire me. I hope your feelings have remained the same.
No, I hope they have elevated to the levels I feel for you! I would cross the Sahara to reach you, I would sail across the Pacific Ocean to locate you. I would climb Mt. Everest to see your smile one more time. I wou-."
Satella is suddenly interrupted and rudely awakened as she hears another voice speak with a command of authority:
"Silence girl, you are giving me a headache. It is annoying enough that I have to deal with you, but now you even talk in your sleep.
Meaning I cannot have a satisfied rest on the plane that departed from Berlin towards Tokyo. If I cannot sleep, it means my body will not be well rested.
Furthermore, it will impede our senses from functioning properly and not allow us to make sure of our surroundings at all time.
We must always extrapolate the data surrounding us, to be aware of what is going on. To make sure we know that the people around us are either indifferent, interested, or hostile towards us.
Tis the only way to truly remain safe. React before any actions can be taken upon us. Never doubt our ability to quickly gather information and then set upon the proper course to achieve our goals.
I feel the same as you but for our Subaru. He is the blinding star that illuminates our weary night. However, there are several things you are lacking Satella.
You lack determination Satella, that is why I had to come out. You lack the conviction to achieve your goals. You lack the ability to truly promote change and elevate your mind frame.
I was content watching from the corners of your mind as long as nothing happened, but those depraved animals went too far.
To dare touch our body when there is only one individual that can do that. Our beloved, our reason for living in the first place. For giving us the strength to carry on.
They deserved worse but I was pressed for time. I had several theories I wanted to try on those insects. Alas, they will rot in jail which is an acceptable outcome."
Satella's eyes widen as she looks around and sees an identical version of herself also floating in this dreamscape. Her other self, snapped her fingers and the void was replace by a shadow garden. Including a table with two chairs where her doppelganger sat down and gestured for her to sit as well.
With a disbelief in her eyes she looked around in wonder and saw many lavender flowers and a lush landscape, with ruined buildings that must have shone at some point and she inquires:
"Where ar.. are w… we? And wh.. who.. ar… are you?" She looks at her other self in confusion and wonder, thinking this is all a dream. Her other self, smirks and snaps her fingers and two cups of tea are placed in front of each other.
She goes ahead and takes a sip. Satella soon follows and is pleasantly surprised to find out it is her favorite. Here, her clone proceeds to speak:
"My name is Ella, and I am your other half Satella. The very personification of the abuse you have taken, the one that is the most self-confident, the one that thinks and analyzes everything before we take our next steps.
I am who you always wanted to be in your dreams, so I was formed through how our brain is wired. Due to the abuse, neglect, sense of isolation you have experienced, I became a necessity. If our psychology teacher is correct, we seem to suffer from a form of DID. Meaning Dissociative Identity Disorder.
This was probably caused due to the severe trauma we have experienced throughout childhood, from the neglect of our parents, to the scorn of the other students, to the harsh learning environment in that damned boarding school. To those violent savages trying to put their paws on our body. That was the final straw that allowed me to manifest and assume control.
To ourselves latching onto the one and only bright thing in this foul and dark world, Natsuki Subaru. Our champion, our hero. The very reason for our continued existence.
Now you can take this with a grain of salt, since our specialized study is anatomical surgery and the study of cardiovascular symptoms, treatments and ways to operate on the human body , we are not psychologists.
And we would be fools for going to one. The only thing that would happen is being locked up in a room where they would feed us drugs that would dull our mind. Do you want to be in a straightjacket drooling and being locked up for life? Because I certainly do not. I have grand plans to achieve, same as with you.
Furthermore, we would never see our beloved again. I am sure that would be a miserable result neither of us wishes to see, do you not agree Satella?"
Here Satella was still considering all the information, processed, analyzed it. And came to the conclusion that Ella was correct.
She had always suffered, ever since being a child, to not being good enough for her parents, to being shipped off to Germany while crying tears with her dear twin Emilia. Till the event that finally brought her to the breaking point, the attempted rape by those disgusting pigs.
Here Ella was seeing Satella slowly accept these facts, she smiled and continued:
" I am here to explain a couple of things to you. Firstly, this is our mind, a dream world of sorts. We have always had a habit of lucid dreaming, such as when we dream of our beloved touching us in all the places we crave.
Our fingers running through his firm chest, nibbling his ear. Licking his throat while moaning his name. Feeling him inside us as we lose ourselves to pleasure. Oh yes, I share those exact dreams and want them to become reality."
While Satella blushed like an Appa, Ella continued her explanation:
Now that we are two minds sharing the same body we can interact here without issue and time flows a little different.
Secondly, we are an hour away from landing in Tokyo where we will meet up our beloved for dinner. An event we are expecting with relish. It has been far too long since we have seen Subaru. And from the pictures of himself with Beatrice he looks to have matured into a very handsome man. "
Here both Ella and Satella stopped talking as they both closed their eyes to day dream about the black haired boy with fierce eyes that had oh, so captivated their twin hearts. Both smiling with adoration and contentment at their beloved.
After some time passes Ella snaps out of it first or she could continue day dreaming for hours, nay, days. She clears her throat and resumes her explanation:
"Thirdly, we will not mention to Subaru what happened in detail. It would not be a pleasant experience for him to know that we eliminated our victim, and then manipulated the crime scene.
Moreover, those details are one's that we should not share with anyone. Japan has extradition and the last thing we should want to befall us is to be extradited back to Germany to answer for crimes.
Because, that could lead to feelings of self-doubt brewing in his mind, maybe he would not even want to be with us. Which is unacceptable. That is a result I fail to agree with, and will never let happen."
Here Ella's voice breaks up a little as she resolves her conviction to be smart and always aware of all information, while she does not regret what happened and would do it again in a heartbeat.
But, imagining the look Subaru would give her upon learning she is a killer would break her, and she is well aware that is why this must never happen. She thinks to herself:
"He must never find out, and if for some reason I have to commit such a crime again I will absolutely make sure to cover my tracks. No one will take away My Subaru, and no obstacle will get in the way of being together forever with my beloved."
"Umm, Ella are you alright? Yo.. you have be.. been quiet." Mutters a concerned Satella for her other half.
Here Ella snaps out of her thoughts and offers Satella a small smile. She realizes that they will soon arrive and decides to speed up the conversation:
"Thank you for your concern, I was just thinking of certain matters, now where were we? Ah yes.
Fourthly, we can swap control of our body when the situation arises. I will let you resume control upon us waking up, I am tired and need to rest more, as well as process certain scenarios that may happen.
However, if anything occurs you can call for me. While I disagree with the way you handle things, I admit that strenuous circumstances have led to such results.
With a proper motivation we shall work on your speech impediment and struggles, so that we can flourish. Now, before I let you take over do you have any questions for myself?"
Satella again processed this information at a fast speed, analyzed it, and determined to accept the results. However there was one thing she could not accept easily and made it known quite clearly:
"Di… did you have to kill those men? I kn… know what they did was unaccep… unacceptable but we could have screamed for help. I hav…. have never injured anyone before an-."
Satella gets interrupted when Ella puts up her palm up indicating for her to stop talking. Ella then goes on to speak:
"This is why I exist, because while we share the same intellect there are certain things you are hesitant to do. I will get the job done no matter what, so rest assured and consider the following.
What do you think would have happened had we screamed? The revolting animal already had his hands on our chest, an instinctual reaction would have been to either knock us out to prevent anyone from knowing, or to silence us by breaking our jaw and then violating our body.
Then if we put ourselves in the mindset of those vile pieces of human garbage, they may have dragged us to some dorm room and had their way with us.
Moreover, do you really think we could have lived with that shame? You saw how those people acted, the way they scorned us. It would have been our words against them."
Here Ella closes her eyes and breathes in and out, as if to remind herself how close everything they worked for came undone.
Satella did the same, while she did not want to be ruthless, she accepted that at times certain actions needed to be taken.
However she would never do that, she knows it deep in her heart. And is glad to know that she could perhaps rely on Ella at certain times of need.
As long as Ella does not commit any more crimes then she shall be fine with the result. After all that situation was one where their very being was in danger.
She was shocked when she felt a warm hand grasp hers and looked up to see Ella smiling at here gently. Ella stroked her doppelgangers hand soothingly and calmly replied:
"I will always be your staunchest ally, your support in times of need. Besides, remember, we would have lost in the end. I did what had to be done to save you from doing it yourself.
Furthermore, I will always shield your memories from the unpleasant actions I may commit when in control. When one of us is dormant, the other will be active and we will only meet like this when our body falls asleep.
I will not hesitate to do deplorable actions towards those who seek to harm us." Here, Ella's eyes shined with conviction and a domineering aura that gave Satella cold chills as she concluded:
"As well as anyone that dares to take away our beloved. We have toiled for far too long and struggled to achieve any results but the necessary one.
Which is to be with Subaru and eventually get married. Smile Satella, our goal is nearly in sight. For I am sure Subaru feels similar.
Why else would he continue to message us, talk to us as often as possible. Let us know he missed us, we are destined to be together. So with those words said, I will go rest now. Be safe, and do not hesitate to think of me if anything foul happens towards you. Goodnight, my other half, my sister."
Ella fell asleep as the dream landscape started disappearing, and Satella opened her eyes as the flight attendant had informed them that they had arrived at Tokyo.
With a determined expression to make sure she does Ella proud she boldly steps forward unto a new future where she would stop at nothing more than being at Subaru's side.
She smiled to herself and also wanted to go play with his sister Beatrice, the one other individual who she is very fond of.
Her smile slips here a little at the thought of her parents, yet brighten at reuniting with her twin Emilia. Weird how it feels like now she has two identical sisters, only one is at her own apartment, and the other sleeps in her mind.
With bold steps she picks up her luggage and leaves the airport while texting her Subaru where to meet up for dinner, and with that the eventful dinner date is set and the wheels of motion spin.
(Scene Change)
Emilia is lying down in bed, not feeling too well due to a slight fever. She wishes she could do nothing more than to recover quickly so she could be by her Subaru's side. She already misses his smile, the way he encourages her to always do her best. And she strives for it as well, to be a lady that could catch his fancy.
Just when she was thinking of the boy she likes her Iphone rings. Excited thinking it is Subaru she goes ahead and answers it without checking who it is and greets:
"Mushi, Mushi, Subaru is that you? You silly boy always thinking of my well-being. I-."
"Onee-Chan, I have returned. What is this about Subaru? Hmmm, that was cute."
Replies back Satella as she checks into a hotel in the area, while having wireless headphones on to speak to her twin. She gazes around and is content with her room as she unpacks some essentials.
Emilia gasps in shock, and while a little sad it was not Subaru, she smiles in absolute joy and the thought of her dear sister being back. She hurriedly continues speaking:
"Satella-Chan, it is reeeally good to hear from you. I am so excited that you are here. How was the boarding school? I wanted to go sooo badly with you. Being separated from you was very painful."
Satella flinches at her latest memory of what had happened. She trembles in shock and sits down on the bed as she takes quick breathes, remembering how close she had gotten to getting violated. There is a pause on the line.
Emilia senses her sister's distress and calmly says:
"Geez you dunderhead, I am here for you. No matter what happens I will always be here for you. So take a deep breath and let your Nee-san help you out."
Satella subconsciously smiles at the thought. She had truly missed her sister very much, and how much support she gets from here.
At the boarding school both Emilia and Subaru were her saving grace from fully descending into the madness that was her life there.
She will not miss Germany, not one bit, however their beer is rather good as a small smile is present on her face, remembering the kind bartender and trying different stouts, lagers, and alcoholic beverages.
Her mind frame stabilizes and she answers back:
"En, I am fine Emilia-chan, we have a lot to talk about when I see you. Im staying at a hotel in Shibuya at the moment. Is it fine if I can stay with you tomorrow, I just need to register my paperwork and then I will go apartment hunting."
"Of course silly, you are my twin you can stay as long as you need. I truly do want to see you soon, I remember how we would do each other's hair, and go to sleep curled up against each other as kids!" Remarks Emilia upon remembering the fond memories they used to share.
"Thank you so much Onee-chan, I will definitely take you up on that offer. Now I do want to mention I invited Subaru to have dinner and catch up tonight. Umm, I hope that is ok with you. Without you and Subaru the boarding school would have been way worse."
Satella hesitantly tells her sister, for she is no fool she knows that Emilia must haves similar feelings like her, yet she also knows that Emilia is not as assertive as she is.
For some reason it does not bother her that Emilia has feelings for her beloved, she will just treat is as sisterly competition, however if any other girls had feelings for her Subaru then she would be really upset.
Emilia is surprised at the revelation, yet she gets over it quickly and pouts:
"I have no issue, but Subaru is going to be mine one day sister. I will strive and fight for that goal will all my might!"
Satella just shakes her head and laughs at how cute her dear sister can be when she is emotional about something. She responds back brazenly:
"Hmph. We shall see about that dear sister. But anyway I have to go shower and rest since I am still tired from the flight. We will talk more tomorrow. I love you Emilia, never forget that."
Emilia smiles as her heart warms up at hearing her beloved sister's feelings for her. She can feel the concern and care coming from Satella. She replies:
"That is fine dear sister, I reeally miss you and cannot wait to see you. I love you as well Satella, never forget that as well!"
With those parting words the phone conversation ends as both twins feel a lot more cheerful simply by talking to each other. Satella looks around and grabs some clothes and underwear as she heads to the shower to relax and cleanse herself under the warm water while thinking:
"Tonight should be fun, I cannot wait to see my beloved!"
After her shower she texted Subaru:
"Hey Subaruu, we are meeting at the sushi place right? I am going to go ahead and take a nap since the plane flight was grueling. I cannot wait to see you!"
A couple of minutes pass by as she is getting ready to sleep for several hours when her Android phone lights up with a text notification. She quickly enters her passcode and swipes her screen until she reads Subaru's reply and smiles. It says:
"Sure Satella-Tan! I miss you very much as well and this will be the highlight of my month. I am always thinking about you and was worried since you told me the boarding school was not the best for you. I am sure that here in Japan you will shine with everything you have learned as an aspiring surgeon.
Anyways, I will meet you there. I am sure we will have an amazing time, go ahead and get your rest I can only imagine how exhausted you must be after that boarding school.
Tell me all about it when we see each other. Anyway I have to go since the teacher just got here in class. See you soon!"
"My love is always thinking about me, Kyaaa!" Exclaims an overexcited silver haired girl as she is giddy with the prospect of seeing her beloved. She smiles fondly and replies:
"No problem enjoy your class Subaru, see you soon!"
She goes to the bed and lies down while feeling joyful, as she sets her alarms to go off an hour before her date and rests peacefully, excited at the prospects of seeing her love.
(Some Time Later)
A shrieking alarm starts wailing and a slender and pale white arm reaches for her phone as she turns it off. She opens her eyes a little lethargically and just longues in bed before she remembers her dinner date.
She jumps up and sets to getting herself ready in a frenetic pace, marching from closet where her clothes are to the bathroom as she applies very light make up since her natural skin is near flawless.
After thirty minutes she is ready and is dressed in a purple and black camisole, with black leggings ending in cute dark purple flats.
She looks at herself in the mirror and nods at her looks, hoping that Subaru thinks she looks good. Her hair has an intricate braid where her silver hair flows down her back in a very elegant way.
She also has a silver and purple bracelet that is an opposite match to the dark and purple bracelet that Emilia wears.
A gift they bought each other before she had to leave to Germany. She fingers her bracelet with a warm smile while thinking:
"Today I will secure points towards my future with Subaru, Hmph sorry Onee-chan but I am in the lead."
She grabs her purse and sets off towards the restaurant where her and the black haired boy of her dreams are supposed to meet up. Furthermore, she texts Subaru:
"Hey Subaruu, I am on my way and will meet you shortly. I should be there in thirty minutes, if you get there first then just secure us a table. See you soon."
Satella always preferred texting over calling anyone usually, the only exception being Emilia and Subaru, due to her slight speech impediment she did not like talking to people usually.
Because they would give her odd looks or treat her as an idiot. Something that definitely hurt her self-esteem even if she tried to stay up beat and happy.
But with Subaru and Emilia she had no issues with conversing with them. It may also be due to the fact how her parents never encouraged her and were just annoyed she could not fix her own issues, which always made Satella sad.
She remembers crying about it and Emilia would soothe her, placing her head on Emilia's lap while she sobbed. The very thought made her smile. She truly cannot wait to her beloved sister as well.
She was so distracted she did not notice when she was walking down a dark alleyway to take as a shortcut to the restaurant, that a man stood in her way.
Dressed in a shady uniform, he leered at her and she suddenly lifted her head up and was paralyzed in fear. Satella saw he had eyes identical to the trio of men that almost assaulted her in Germany and begins shaking.
"Nice outfit miss, I wonder how you would look without it. You know what, I think I will find out quite soon. Don't even bother screaming since all the other heavy noise from traffic will just drown it out. Don't worry I am usually gentle, Hehehe."
The man licked his lips as he approached her with a lust driven gaze, his bulge noticeable.
For every step he took, Satella took one back and the man decided to close the distance since he did not want her to run away so soon.
Or maybe he did and he could just chase her down and knock her out. This alleyway was usually always deserted except for the naïve fools that would walk through it without care at night time.
So he pounced and Satella freaked out, yet a certain someone took notice of Satella's distress and forcefully took control.
Now, Ella gave a lighting jab with a closed right hand, to the man's chin at a very precise spot. She backed away two steps as the guy fumbled around in a daze trying to clear the nausea that was happening to his mind.
He was confused as to why he suddenly felt light headed and dizzy when a silver bell like chuckle escaped the air:
"I see that Japan has not changed, five years and there are still perverts and rapists roaming around the dark alleyways. I am not even surprised, even in modern countries such as Germany or Japan their shall always be strife, crime, and grief.
Where the criminals gets away and the victims suffer, a tad bit hypocritical of myself but I shan't care for it. However any that dream of touching this body will die, since it already belongs to someone rather special.
It is fine if you do not understand my thoughts, since you will become my second patient. My name is Ella, and I shall be your surgeon for the night.
I can perform a wide arrange of surgeries, however I have neither the time, patience, inclination, nor desire to perform any lengthy ones. As well as lacking the tools, equipment, and operating room to perform them.
So we shall go with a slit throat, I can hardly afford to miss my dinner date with my beloved. Shall we commence this brutal dance then?"
Ella says as she pulls out her scalpel and licks her lips, the man still stumbling in confusion due to her hitting his chin, rattling his brain and creating light headedness, nausea, and dizziness. A fine way to incapacitate someone temporarily.
"Yo-you Bitch, why does my head hurt whore!" Shouts the man as he is seeing double, as nausea swirls around his mind and he has to control himself to not puke, shaking visibly.
"Ahh, you are wondering why all of a sudden you are experiencing nausea and severe discomfort, I will admit I tried knocking you out right now but I was a tad bit off target.
You see, when an individual gets struck in the chin it causes our brain to rattle around. Our brain is just a soft and mushy organ present inside the skull.
A technique used by professional boxers all the time that has been honed down and perfected unto an art form, to strike at the chin to rattle the brain.
Furthermore, the brain is covered in blood, connected to our skull with a few arteries, nerves and veins. It is a very delicate, fragile part of our body that should be treated with care and diligence.
Without our brainpower we would not be living in such an advanced world.
When someone gets struck in the chin, the brain shakes inside their head. The grid of nerves and blood vessels that are connected to the brain also move around.
Ergo, our brain needs some time to reboot like a computer when it is powering up. Why I wasted this time telling you this is because your nausea will get progressively worse.
It takes several hours to recover from a slight concussion to be able to be at one hundred percent again.
Furthermore, if you question why a lady such as myself can obviously cause so much damage despite your bulk, it is easy.
Precision over power, every single time. This is also the way of the surgeon, precision is everything for when we operate and make sure the body of the patient we are saving does not perish.
I am the first in my old surgery class in boarding school which is the premier medical school in the world. Moreover, accuracy is something I quite excel at and take pride in. So, I have all the time in the world needed with you, let's continue now shall we."
Ella finishes stating as she approaches the man with quick speed and uses an open palm heel strike against his chin, which makes the man convulse and get knocked out. She looks down and ponders how she should dispose of him when her phone rings.
Surprised she looks and sees it is a message from Subaru which throw her thoughts in disarray, it reads:
"I am five minutes away from the restaurant, see you soon Tella-Tan."
She looks down at her clothes and looks at the passed out man and decides not to dispose of him. After all, a slit throat sprays blood out quite far, and despite her being careful she does not want to take the chance of her clothes being smeared in blood.
It would not be an ideal reunion between Subaru and herself after five years, if the first thing he sees is blood on her clothes. The scenario would make a very awkward reunion.
Here she becomes quite flustered as she is suddenly unsure of what to do. Not wanting to be late she decides she needs to go but an idea forms in her mind. She starts rifling through the unconscious rapists pockets and finds his wallet.
So, she opens it and sees his civilian driver's license information. Grinning she takes a picture of it, takes the money in the wallet which is around thirty thousand yen and throws the wallet back at the passed out pig.
"I have this guy's address so it is a simple matter of finding him later when the situation requires. My beloved is my everything, some sick piece of shit isn't worth making me waste my time and keep Subaru waiting. However, I know where he lives, and I will make sure to pay a visit to him later on."
Thinks Ella as she grins as she wants a proper operating room for the next time she decides to find this guy. Moreover, she had found pictures of girls in this guy's wallet of them naked and afraid. Maybe she met a fellow killer, but this guy is irredeemable. She will make sure to track him down and give him a proper surgery.
Furthermore, she stomps on his genital areas which make the man screech in pain before a swift kick to the head knocks him out of commission. Satisfied she proceeds to the restaurant, with glazed eyes of adoration she hastens her steps to meet her love.
With a beautiful moonlight the fated dinner between the silver haired girl and black haired fearsome eyed boy fast approaches, as well as an indescribable reunion full of complex emotions. Fate has a lot in store for these two, especially for all the women striving for the attention of Subaru.
Author's Notes:
Hope you enjoyed the second part of this story. I will strive to continue providing a balance between Satella and Ella. Next chapter will be Subaru and Satella/Ella talking and fluff moments. Smut scene will be in there as well as a decent cliff hanger.
Now the strike to the chin is something boxers use at all times to incapacitate their opponent. Certain fights are over in seconds right after they begin if a well-placed strike is secured. Many instances of this can be seen during watching UFC or professional boxing.
DID or Dissociative Identity Disorder is a hotly contested mental illness between mental health professionals as they are still unsure how to catalogue it properly. One personality may have a double life from the other and shield their thoughts from their other half.
Trauma, childhood abuse, and several factors such as being molested, violently assaulted and other can lead to this disorder. This is a serious medical disorder and if you know anyone like this please try to get them professional psychiatric help.
See you guys in chapter 3, Oteycri000 signing off.
