Isis stood across the dueling arena, watching her brother slaughter another poor duelest in his quest for power. That b thing's /b quest for ultimate domination. i Seth. /i the other whispered. That was all the other could really do anymore. She had no strength left in her. The thing kept stealing it away.... eating away at the other.

Now I will tell you what I've done for you

50 thousand tears I've cried

Screaming deceiving and bleeding for you

And you still won't hear me

Malik stepped off the dueling platform, laughing. Laughing. That sick creature, that twisted mockery of her beloved brother. It walked up to her as she stood in the shadows and smirked. "Anything to say to me, dear sister?" He put his hand beneath her chin. Isis' flesh crawled at the thing's touch, but the other would not let her move away. The other was firmly bound to the thing, and the other's will became strong when it came to the thing. The other had nothing left to cling to.

"Well fought, brother." she said, the words forcing themselves out of her throat.

The thing in Malik's body leaned in close, until they were almost touching. He moved his hand down, running the backs of his nails down her throat. "No kiss for the conquoring hero?"

Don't want your hand this time I'll save myself

Maybe I'll wake up for once

Not tormented daily defeated by you

Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom

I dive again

Isis turned her head away from the thing, feeling her bile rising... The other was battling, even though the other knew that the thing would only drain the other more. Had Isis been able to have her way, she would have run as far as she could to be away from the thing... but the other was strong in this, and the other had the thing's subtle support.

The thing pressed Malik's lips to hers, forcing his tongue past her lips and into her mouth in a mockery of a lover's kiss. She could feel the energy draining from herself, and from the other, as the thing drew her deeper into the kiss.

I'm going under

Drowning in you

I'm falling forever

I've got to break through

I'm going under

Isis shoved the thing away as its hands slowly roamed up her sides. She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and ran from the room, away from the disgusting beast. The other was barely there anymore. It was whispering to her, but the whisper was too weak to hear. Next time... the other would be lost totally.

Will I be next? Isis wondered.

Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies

So i don't know what's real and what's not

Always confusing the thoughts in my head

So I can't trust myself anymore

I dive again

He loves us. the other whispered as Isis finally reached her room.

The tomb keeper slammed the door and locked it behind her. The lock would not keep the thing out when it decided it wanted in, but it made Isis feel better. "He's killing us by inches. You'll be gone soon... and then there will only be me." She shuddered. At least right now she could hide behind the other when the thing came into her room. If the other was gone... she would have no escape at all, not even that marginal one. "Please... you have to help me...." she sank to the floor and sobbed. Sobbed in terror and disgust.

The other seemed to think for several minutes... then the vision came.

So go on and scream

Scream at me I'm so far away

I won't be broken again

I've got to breathe I can't keep going under
