Chapter Four: Back in Ludlow
"Ellie?" Rachel asked, looking slightly confused.
"Our daughter. What should we do? She's with your parents, after all, and they can't keep her forever, not if we're still--" Louis had been about to say "alive" but that didn't really cover both of them. "—still here."
Rachel seemed to consider this. Louis could see something happening behind her eyes, just like Jud had said about-
Ah-Ah-Ah! We aren't going to think of EITHER of them, now ARE we, Dr. Creed?
Sure as hell not. Bad for the mind, bad for the soul.
What soul? Didn't you get rid of that old thing when you followed Jud to the Pet-
Ah-ah-ah! We already discussed what to do with that thought, right, Lou?
"Let's bring her home, Louis. She's better off with her parents, right?" Rachel said, eyes heavily guarded.
No! Don't do it! It will destroy El—
Louis crushed that thought off rudely. "Sounds great, honey. She probably misses us by now. Or at least I hope she does."
The Rachel-thing threw her head back and cackled. Louis felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand straight, and his skin felt tight around his skull. What have I done? Where's Rachel? Louis, what HAVE YOU DONE?
To add onto his problems, Louis diagnosed himself as either schizophrenic or clinically insane. What a great day. Just perfect.
Author's Note: the chapters seem to be getting shorter…oops. Oh, well. Please review!
