"Memory Bound." (Complete.)

"Clouds.."

'Help her..'

Louis felt his mind slip away, and all he felt was the will to obey the instruction.

He got up, his red eyes half-lidded. He started walking towards a white light that had appeared suddenly in front of him.

When he touched it, the little thing exploded. He felt the sensation of another mind sleeping.

***

He was back in the institute, but why? He looked around the area, the surroundings to familiar to him?

But why was he here? All he remembered were voices, then this happened.

"Help!" A familiar voice screamed. "Please, please!"

Pipp?.. He thought. Why is she screaming in her own dream?...

The screams were coming from around the corner from Louis, and he travelled there. What he saw next shocked him.

Pipp was coming towards him, and she was being chased by two dolls who had blurry faces, you coukdn't tell what they looked like.

They were shouting things.

'Different!'

'Freak!'

'Monster!'

'Don't belong!'

Louis saw Pipp crying, and was frankly shocked at how cruel these dolls were being. This was why he hated anydoll that he didn't know, you never knew if they were like this.

He fekt something crash into him, and he looked down to see it was Pipp. She grabbed onto hkm, sobbing. Her eyes looked at him, she was broken.

"Make them stop!" She had the same that Lou did whenever he wanted to hurt himself in the past. "Please, make them. Please, protect me!"

Them words seem to trigger something in Louis as he saw Lou in Pipp's place. She had unconsciously given control of her dream to him. He took advantage of it.

He saw the darkness of her dream, znd twisted it. He knew how to handle personal demons in his favor.

Bloodlust was written on his face as he muttered. "Get them.."

He covered Pipp's ears as she sobbed into him, thinking it was Lou. That actually hurt a bit.

He watched as shadows appeared from bits of Pipp's mind, it proved she had darkness in her.

Turns out the kindest souls can hide a bit of dark in them.

Then, they lunged. The dolls screamed echoed as they were torn to pieces. The shadows fed from the fear, and it was draining them. Louis just watched, satisfied at how they were doing.

After they were finished, there was nothing but a little bit of blood there. The shadows turned to thie master, hoping for his approval. Louis nodded, and they disappeared again. He felt no remorse for making the shadows kill those dolls.

He placed Pipp on his lap, and started stroking her hair. "Hey, it's ok. Shh, it's ok."

Pipp froze, and her tear stained eyes looked into his eyes. "...You're not Lou."

He chuckled. "No, I'm not. My name is Louis, I'm Lou's...other half..."

She sniffed a little less. "Like Ivy and Ivianna?..."
