ANDPEGGYANDPEGGYANDPEGGY chapter 8
Hey guys! I'm back! Early! Enjoy! Also, if you didn't notice, I kinda stopped doing trigger warnings. Tell me if you want me to start again. Love you all!
Meanwhile, in the back seat, Peggy and Mariah grappled and clashed violently. She had slumped down, so she was lying across the seats, and was breathing hard. Tears streamed down her face, and she ocassionally spasmed when someone landed a particularly hard hit. To her sisters, it appeared Peggy was having another, if worse, episode, but In reality, this was different.
Both sides of Peggy were viciously tearing at each other. Peggy couldn't feel her body anymore, as she and Mariah fought. Suddenly, they were In her mindscape, a long stretch of sandy beach with a stormy sea broiling. In this mindscape, Peggy wore a yellow colonial style dress with her hair tied back. Mariah stood across a beach away from her, wearing a blood red dress of a similar design. Her hair was covering one eye as it hung loosely over her face.
Peggy's skirts swirled around her and she was shocked to find she could actually move quite freely, in spite if the clothes. Her bare feet braced themselves in the sand.
Mariah stalked closer across the beach shaking her head in mock disappointment.
"Rita, Rita, Rita," Mariah said, sneering. "What have you done?"
Peggy backed away in terror. "D-don't call me that. M-my mom used t-to call me that."
"And look where she is now."
Mariah grinned wickedly as Peggy howled in pain and lunged at her counterpart. As they collided, the two girls morphed into waves of red and yellow energy. The essences formed shapes; a red fox chasing a yellow rabbit, a golden lion cub tearing into a scarlet hyena, a crimson wolf cornering a frightened lemon deer. It was clear who was winning.
"You can't get rid of me," snarled a ruby leopard. "You are nothing. Invisible. Worthless. I am part of you. Ever since she died, and your sisters turned away, I. Am. You."
"But," a mustard gazelle replied, despite barely being able to move. "You are not all of me. My name is Peggy Schuyler. Not Mariah. And while you might be stronger now, I will grow. And someday a I will beat you."
Mariah morphed back into a human form, revealing a couple bruises. She brushed her hair out of her eyes, which were glowing red. "Well, we have all the time in the world."
Peggy transformed back to her human state as well, her eyes glowing yellow. She groaned in agony at the scarily deep gashes across her arms and torso. Sinking to her knees, she could feel the blood seeping into her yellow dress, turning it red. Like Mariah's, she thought, panicking. She felt dizzy, her eyesight becoming fuzzy around the edges. But she struggled to her her feet, straightened, and nodded. She dug her bare feet back into the sand, which had become wet with her blood.
"All the time in the world."
Hahahaha I am so evil. Sorry for how short this is, but I'm trying to make up for all those weeks I missed. Remember to review with questions, suggestions, or plans to fight instead of fleeing west. But really, tell me what you think. I can't read minds.
Ps, I'm considering renaming this story Crimson and Gold. Thoughts?
