Thinking = '...' Talking = "..." Other = *...*

I am aware that I have been neglecting to put in disclaimers. I wasn't conscious of the fact that I needed them. (And no, no one sent a review saying, 'Where's the disclaimer?' It's just one of those things I felt I should put in.) Thanks to Crazi Girl (again) and kristen. You don't know how much reviews like those ones mean to me...

*How dare you let them get away!*

Kayma winced and closed her eyes in pain. The voice was sharp and icy; it hurt so much.

'I...I can't do this anymore. Leave me alone!'

*Why must I leave you alone? You asked for this. You wanted them all to be your own. I am merely fulfilling your wishes.*

'I may have wanted that once, but that's not what I wish any more. I'm messing with Fate and we both know it. I didn't care earlier, but I do now and I know this in my heart; I don't want this any more.'

*Does this mean you want to put them all back in their proper places and restore the correct order of your precious Fate? You want to put everything back to normal?*

Kayma clutched her temples. She hated that sneering, mocking voice! "Yes," she whispered. "Yes, I want everything back to normal. I want to go home."

*You pathetic human. You want this. You want that. I start to do what you want, then halfway between granting this wish, you change your mind and say you want something else,* it taunted her cruelly.

*You would be nowhere, nothing, without me. Nothing.*

'I don't care anymore! I want to go home. I want to leave this place,' she cried. 'I don't care about stealing, about taking the hunt!!!'

*You've gone soft. I should have expected that. Wait...*

Kayma's eyes shot open in horror and she tried desperately to block off her thoughts and memories. 'NO!'

It was to no avail.

*You care for them? You think they're real people?! They don't even exist! Truly pathetic.*

Then it laughed. Cold, heartless...maniacal. Sweat broke out on Kayma's brow, half from fear, half from pain.

'Leave me alone...'

*I hate it when you whimper like a dog.*

"I DON'T CARE!!!! Leave me alone!"

The doorbell rang. Kayma stayed on her bed, curled up in agony.

*Answer it.*

"No," she whispered. 'Why don't you do something?'

*Be silent and obey!*

The doorbell rang again. "Fine. I'll answer it."

Once again, I leave you with a cliffhanger. Hey, how else am I supposed to get you to review? That's right; once again (again), I won't update again until you guys review. And I want to update, so please, review. (Yes, I know my chapters are short. I'm trying to lengthen them... *sulks* You guys just don't appreciate what I'm trying to do.)
