Emika frantically looked at the opening door then at Desire then
back to the door. She winced as Desire sent a smirk her way. Desire
rushed towards the door, only for Emika to tackle her second half
to the floor, drawing a yowl from Desire.
Jackie flinched at hearing a yowl. She fully opened the door and
saw Emika holding someone down....but, they looked...almost
transparent..like a ghost..Jackie's eyes widened. Who was that?!
"What the..." she managed to say.
Emika looked up in horror. It was Jackie!! The sudden distraction
was all Desire needed. She shoved her Darling off of her and leapt
to her feet, only to notice her faint outline and semi-transparent
flesh. She sneered, seems her power wasn't as high as she
thought... Her eyes landed on Jackie and a large grin morphed onto
her face. "Fresh prey~. And it's the one you've let yourself
feel for. Even BETTER." The grin turned sadistic as something
began to form in her hand... Only to dissipate as Desire was
tackled down again by Emika.
Jackie was shocked. Fresh prey? Was that transparent Desire girl
talking about her?! "Emika, who is that?! Why are they in our
dorm?! Why is she transparent?! W-Whats going on?!" She said. So
many questions...
Emika gritted her teeth. "Now's...not the...time!" She forced out
as Desire started to fight back against her. The two began to toss
and claw and snap at each other, trying to be the victor of the
fight. Soon enough Emika had Desire in a headlock. Desire began
kicking and clawing raggedly to try to break free.
Desire sneered as the fight was broken up. How dare this little
wretch?! Emika quickly pulled Jackie behind her, crying out, "Stay
away from her Jackie!" She snarled at her other half. "You stay FAR
away from us, Desire!"
Jackie frowned. What was going on right now?! "I don't know what's
going on, but I've heard Emika deny your deeds multiple times. It
sounds like your tempting her to do something she doesn't want to
do!" She said to Desire.
Desire snickered. "Oh, but she does~. Deep down she misses how
things were. When we were at the top of the food chain of
humanity." Emika looked away, unable to look her other half in
the eye. Desire cooed to her Darling. "Why do you deny yourself,
my Darling~? We could have the good old days back. Just you and me
against the world~."
"I... I..." Emika stammered. She did miss the feeling of power...
But she no longer wanted it at the cost of others... Her gaze
hardened. "I want to be better. With or without my own mind in
tact." Desire froze. WHAT?!
Jackie smiled sadly. "That's good." She said. She then stood in
front ot Emika as protection. "You heard her, Desire, or whatever
you are. She made up her mind, and I won't let you tempt her
anymore!" She said angrily to Desire.
Desire sneered, then gave an indignant snort. "Whatever makes
you feel better." she said. She walked towards the mirror,
ready to return to being a part of her Darling's mind, when she
paused. She turned back, looking at her Darling. "Just remember,
Darling Desire. We are bound to the sins of our past, just as much
as our future is bound to us." For a moment Emika's body was
engulfed in a black aura with demonic wings and horns. In a split
second it was gone. With that final statement, Desire pressed her
hand to the mirror, turned into red light, and was sucked into the
mirror, which rippled before settling, returning to normal.
"What the..." Jackie said. She was shocked. She left to the
bathroom, comes back and sees some figure from a mirror that Emika
knows? Are they related? Or..the same person? All of this was
confusing....she never experienced something like this...she simply
looked at Emika, back at the mirror, then back at Emika again.
Emika released a shaky breath. She said nothing to Jackie, she
simply walked over to her bed. She sat down on her covers and put
her head in her hands, trying to not cry.
Emika tensed upon being pulled into a hug. Jackie... How was she
able to be anywhere near her?! Let alone touching and hugging her?!
Emika's breath quickened, panic setting in...
"Everything is confusing right now, but you don't deserve to be
sad. I'll do anything in my power to make you happy...so...please
don't cry." Jackie smiled sadly.
Emika's eyes widened. "How?" She forced out, gently breaking free
of the hug. "How can you say that? You barely know me..you don't
know the horrid things I've done...you don't know what I've been
through..."
