Truth, But No Logic-4
~~~~~~
Disclaimer: I do nor own the characters. I do own the voices in Cal's head. Thanks to all who have reviewed. Lithruin, I had no intentions of making Cal an evil guy. He will do bad things, (maybe, I'm not telling) but it's not like I'm picking on him or anything. Note: Takes place the same day as the last chapter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cal paced the hotel room he had occupied for the past week. He hadn't found their names on the list, but he knew they had survived. He could feel it.
He had already set up an allowance for Ruth, and had purchased a ticket for her to go back to Philadelphia. She would be leaving the next day. Cal had already decided that if he did find them, that she shouldn't be in the city. It might complicate things.
He was confident that he could find them, or rather her. He had no real interest in Jack.
Rose. That was where his interest lay. He had been taught since birth that no-one could equal him, and what was his was his by divine right. His father's voice rang in his head.
"What is yours is yours. No-one can take it from you." His father, the teacher of all things. He had drilled his son in lessons of these sort all his life. It had never occurred to Cal that perhaps he could be wrong.
Until now. Until Jack. He had come into the picture out of nowhere, and had Rose in his arms in a day. Cal couldn't understand how he had done it.
He, Caledeon Hockley, had spent months trying to open her up. He had given her The Heart of The Ocean, and still no reaction! Jack, what had Jack given her?
Cal couldn't answer that, but Rose could have. She would have said: Love. But, Rose wasn't able to answer his question, and he sat in confusion.
Maybe, you should just forget it. Let her live in peace; she wants Jack, not you, his mind said. Cal pondered this. It wasn't unreasonable. Rose did want Jack, not him.
But, wouldn't that be letting him have what is YOURS? a voice in his mind countered. Ah, this was a new idea. Why should Jack get Rose? Maybe, the voice was right.
Haven't you caused her enough suffering? the first voice asked. Well, maybe hr had, but did that really matter? The only thing that had mattered a moment ago was that Rose was his.
That's right, she is yours. You should get her back. Ah, the sweet voice of one's not-quite-sane side. Perhaps, perhaps. Cal dropped into a chair. Perhaps he would, or wouldn't Who can tell? He leaned back in the chair.
It was then that the matter left his hands. It became a battle between two sides of his mind: the reasonable one and the not so nice, one.

AN: Hope you enjoyed that. The voices are not schizophrenia. This has in a twisty way provided an insight into Cal, but I can't say which voice will win. (Really, that's coz I don't know that) Review!!!!!!
