"Memory Bound." (Complete.)

"Fall.."

"Excellent!" He exclaimed like a excited child. "Let's get on with it!"

He snapped his fingers, and Ox felt something entering his mind. It felt unfamiliar, foreign.

Don't fight it.. He purred. It's the truth....

Ox suddenly saw white in his eyes, and then he was somewhere else.

A doll who was beaten and broken was on the ground. He was full of scars, bruises, and cuts.

"I'm sorry!" He shouted, his red eyes glowing with fear. "I didn't mean to, please don't kill me.."

Ox couldn't help but stare, what was he seeing?

He was just getting used to this life, what had he done to deserve this? He wanted to die.

"I won't.." Tempest breathed. "But I will hurt you, useless piece of shit-!"

It suddenly went dark, and the memory around him disappeared.

The demon appeared, and the his eyes seemed to hold sadness in them, a broken look.

"Ignore that.." He ordered softly, and Ox actually saw vulnerability for a second. It snapped to insanity again. "Now, let's get on with the show!.."

He snapped his finger again, and the dark atmosphere disappeared.

A doll was pacing around outside, confused on what to do.

"Fuck.." He swore. "Ox is planning to kill himself if this carries on. Fuck, fuck, fuck!"

Lou was totally helpless as to what to do. If he wasn't around him all the time, he knew what would happen.

"Lou.." Ox whispered, he knew what was going on. He was feeling suicidal at the same. "Jesus.."

Louis smiles.

His hand landed on Ox's door, but froze. He couldn't move for some reason.

You could...get rid of him?..

'Why would I do that, Louis?..'

He was planning on having a meeting and sorting this thing out. It was his responsibility to.

Oh please.. He purred. I know you've thought of it before. We're one, Lou. I know you..

Crap, he was right. Lou had thought of it due to his jealously. Ox could go to the big world and he couldn't. It made his chest contract just thinking of it.

He took a breath. "Shut up.."

I'm made up of your negative feelings and desires. I am your selfishness. I know you want Ox out, you just won't ADMIT it...

Lou sighed, and leant his head against the door. "Shut up.."

It was his only defence. His other half knew him too well.

Besides, I remember when Ox teamed up with that Adam to bully you that one time. You were too busy sleeping to know. He wanted to get back at your for a crime you didn't commit. Want me to show you?~..

'NO!..'

He couldn't face that memory. It was only last month that it happened.

How about you take him to the pipes?.. He asked. I heard that there's an abandoned city there with other dolls. I bet he'd be happy there with all the other uglies..
