Author's Note: I've been slow getting this up (even though I wrote it a while ago) because I've been having a tough time: my nine year old girl that I've sponsored through Compassion International for the past year just died of malaria, my best friends in a mental institute, I'm failing math and my mother's clinically depressed. So hopefully this won't reflect any feelings of SUCKINESS that I'm currently feeling. -_-
Oh…dedicated to Marissa, thanks for supporting me with fanfiction and my stories:)

Chapter five: Demon within
Colubra. Latin for snake, for that's what she was. A manipulative, devil snake that had taken my body. She had always known my thoughts, feelings and deepest emotions from the second she got in. A demon. Even she didn't know where she came from, but she had been there since the surgery to my leg.
She was sympathetic to me, having known every detail of the way I thought and felt for the past few days had made me 'grow' on her. I heard my voice escape from my throat, forming words with my lips, but having nothing to do with it. It's a scary sensation.
"I like your body, very strong and toned muscles. Even knows a few good moves." She paused, "But not enough zeal for fighting. They were smart to put me in you, we make a good team."
'Shove off.' I could sense her feelings, she wasn't just a monster, she was as 'human' as you could get. I didn't know her past, and she admitted not knowing mine either. Unless we thought about it, the memories in the archives of our brains would stay hidden. I had never thought so little before, just for the sake of privacy. 'Like two souls in one body.'
"Yes." She agreed, not having much knowledge, she drank in my intelligence and understood everything as I did. "Souls, are, on Earth, very important in many cultures. I am a soul?" I thought about it, she was probably a demon or something, but, if my religion class was right, she would know that, she would know what she was. 'I don't know what you are.' She sat on my bed, alert and attentive to me, like a student learning from a teacher. I was her 'inner voice', she was in the same predicament I had been in only a short time before.
Something twitched in her brain, twisting her train of thought away from her past.
"What size are these breasts?" She asked curiously distracted, looking down my – her – shirt.
'What!? STOP THAT!' She looked up, satisfied at the answer that had flashed through my mind ever so briefly. She walked over to the dresser, studying my things. 'That's a photo album' I helped when she had been studying the small book for a few seconds. She lifted it up and opened it,
'Pictures? From a camera. They don't have that advanced technology here.' She thought, recalling a faded memory from the corner of her mind.
'You know about this place? You have memories?' She focused at my image in the mirror, a glimmer of hope in – our – eyes. Then it vanished and she frowned, throwing the album down on the ground.
"No." Her heart, metaphorically speaking, hardened, she was a fighter, and trained to make this body the best it can be for Dilandau. She had been the one to win the fight against Guimel, her talent and skill in fighting surpassed my own a hundred fold. And she could kill.
* * *
'Why are you here?' I asked, if I couldn't fight this being with anything, why not befriend it, it would make this distorted existence more bearable. She knew I was talking about why she was in my body.
"To create a superior fighting machine, that will serve Him to the death." A sense of confusion and regret washed over her, she stumbled back, an intense pain in the back of my head. "What is this!" I winced in pain and then darkness over took me.
* * *
The memory came over her like a river. "No past, just future, a future serving Him." The huge room, dark, thick walls, the giant spherical machine in front, destroying her past, creating her future. The voice spoke again. "You have no past, Colubra, just future, He is your future." He repeated. I felt fear. "Serve him to the death." Then it ended. Thoughts flooded our minds, too many to understand either of ours. Yet we kept silent, sitting on the floor of my room. Finally she composed herself. She stood.
"I'm here to serve Dilandau."
If you didn't get that, Colubra is the voice sara had in her head which now has control over her body. Colubra is a demon or "something" (hint hint) that is in her body that has been "programmed" (hint hint) to fight for Dilandau. The last part was a vision of dornkirk talking telling her…oops…said too much already ^_^. Ya….if your don't get that I can't help you. =_= im tired now, good bye
