FINALLY IT IS DONE XD Enjoy it.
Lost Silver
I couldn't tell how or why I was so freezing, I practically felt like I had been locked in a freezer when I started to wake up. I barely ever got cold, certainly not as bad as this when I did. And when I did wake up, I didn't look very awake; I had my eyes closed and was still breathing steadily (as steadily as you can when your shivering like crazy). Though said situation was noticed by Ben and he made an attempt to wake me up fully.
"Gold?" He said, shaking me lightly. I didn't respond much, other than squirming a little at his push. "Gold," He said sternly. I moaned in defeat and opened my eyes, my vision was blurry at first but I knew it would wear off…or it should, anyway. I wanted to turn over and fall asleep again, not that it mattered to him. "Gold, are you alright?" He asked. What was he talking about? Of course I wasn't alright! What a stupid question! But I was that type of person, the kind who acts completely oblivious to the fact something's wrong even though I know something is, so I told him I was fine.
And – big surprise – He didn't buy it.
"You don't seem fine…" He muttered, looking over my quivering body. I tried to ignore him and closed my eyes, only for Gold to break any hope of relaxation in me, 'Maybe you should listen to your little friend?' That was all he said, but it was so much clearer than usual, as if he wasn't just there, in the back of my mind, but sitting right next to me. His voice was normally fuzzy and sounded like he was talking through a radio transceiver, but this sounded like he was whispering in my ear.
Ben must have noticed the shocked look on my face, as he smiled and said, "I knew something was wrong." I wanted to retort, but I snapped down on my tongue, I knew what was happening, and wasn't what he thought was going on. The shivering was a distraction – a separate problem to deal with – while Other Me slowly gained control of me. Red told me it would happen eventually, but I ignored him, I had to be an idiot then. Now it was happening.
I pushed myself up, not saying anything to Ben, and walked to the other side of the cave. My body complained; it began shaking so much that I nearly fell back down and a headache that nearly added up to the one on that day where all the pokémon wanted something and wouldn't stop bugging me till they were satisfied. Hell, that one was probably better. I ignored it the best I could, though, and tried to keep Other Me at bay, causing the headache to get worse and become non-ignorable.
Ben, who had absolutely no idea what the heck was going on, sighed and walked over to me. "If you told me what's wrong I could help you," He stated. "You…wo-wouldn't…understa-stand," I winced, now it hurt to talk. I had to admit; the old me was pretty good at this stuff. He shook his head, "Of course I would understand." I bit my lip. How would he understand? He didn't know what this was like, having to fight with yourself (Which I knew wasn't healthy, but it's not like I have a choice)?
Unless he was leading a secret life behind my back, which wouldn't surprise me.
…Should I tell him? Every part of my mind seemed to scream no except for Gold, who I didn't want to listen to. He could find out on his own…but then he might hate me. If I told him now he could help me, but he would rat me out. Well, he was keeping my secret right now…This was stupid; I doubted my one friend! I didn't trust the person who stood up for me when the other creepypastas made fun of me? Ben was staring at me, expecting an answer, so I answered. I answered in the most stubborn way possible. "You…c-can't understand! Not e-even if you...tr-try!"
'You sound so pathetic~!' That annoying little voice said. Why couldn't he just back off? Why couldn't either of them back off? This was so irritating! I growled slightly, hurting my throat even more. Ben shook his head. "Fine, have it your own little self-centered way." He said before stomping of into the darkness. 'Ouch.' Other Me giggled. 'If I could, I would kill you.' I shot back. 'It's a shame you can't then, isn't it?' 'Don't be like him.' I can't lie though, Ben's words did hurt. I just didn't want to scare him, or worry him, or do the same to anybody else….I didn't want to hurt others feelings.
What I didn't remember is that I was spoon-feeding information to Gold that he could use against me. 'If you didn't want to hurt his feelings, then you shouldn't have said it so angrily.' He offered tauntingly. 'You're already starting to sound like him,' I shook my head and sat down. Hoping that somehow it would help me concentrate, standing up is what caused the headache anyway, so maybe sitting would help.
'You should stop saying stuff like that to me, too.' His voice said, more irritated than I have ever heard, 'Especially now.' 'Oh yeah? Why's that?' I had to push my luck; I always had to push my luck. Right then and there, my whole world went black.
I was no longer Lost Silver, I was Gold.
