Neep! My muses don't stop arguing. One moment please. Lloyd, doesn't that blond one look like Lavitz with longer hair?
"Talia, are you going to be gracing the rest of us with your presence anytime soon?" Silence came from the other side of the door. I kind of figured it would. It's not everyday you lose your best friend and your closest adult friend in the same week. No wonder she thought Brittany was still alive.
"Talia, you've got to eat. Come down for supper." Her father was not demanding, more like he was pleading. Accidentally something dropped into my head. Black Mood
"Black mood? What's that?" I asked myself but accidentally said it out loud.
"Calisto, did you just say what I think you did?" he asked, worried now.
"Black mood?" I asked. He nodded.
"It's a state only acheived by people who have sold their souls, or a piece of it. They sort of... stop trying to fight against whatever it is that has their soul and the time it takes to assert itself is called a Black Mood." Kurt explained.
"Do you think..." I trailed off. I didn't want my friend to be possessed. No way that was happening after all this. I did what I rarely do and used my telepathy to 'spy' on her thoughts.
*****************************
You can't do this! I 'heard' Talia yell. She was angry and facing down-
Herself?!
I can so! It sounded joyful and confident, like it had won already.
No. Talia replied pointedly.
I already have! It crowed. You know the rules. You aren't allowed to win.
She may not be able to but I can. I 'said'. They stared at me.
Cal! I'm sorry about having been such a pain. I shouldn't even ask for help, but I need it and- I cut her off.
You're babbling. Anyway, it's not the end of the world if you ask for help. You are our fearless leader, but everybody needs help sometimes. She smiled. Now let's kick some demonic ass.
Good to know you twothink you can do anything. it said. Talia and I simply threw our respective bolts of force/eldritch energy at it. It went 'BOOM!'
And that's that. Right? I asked.
Until it reassumes a physical form, yes. Now you can wander on out of my head.
I am sorry it's short. Rose of all people helped me with this. I caught her trying to kill Shana. Someone should tell her the Moon that Never Sets, um, set. Oh well.
