Thirteen
Evil
My eyes opened and I was in control of the body and my lips were pressed to Mischa’s and her body was close to mines. I’ve only kissed one other girl before. That was Maya when were just children. It was when we would play in the back of the classroom so that the others couldn’t see us. So that no one could find us.
But maybe that didn’t count. Childish kissing as a part of some lame ass game didn’t compare to this. It felt wrong somehow. Having my lips against Mischa’s felt as if I was betraying Maya and Nian at the same time. I felt my stomach knot. Mischa was toxic. She was poison and Nian could have her. I didn’t want any parts of a girl that tried to make me understand my feeling.
Even still it felt nice to kiss someone. Or maybe it just felt nice to kiss this someone. Maybe if wasn’t that all of us liked Mischa maybe it was just the body that wanted her. We were sixteen now. According to TV all teenage boys have needs. Have sexually desirers even the fucked up ones like us.
“Hey!” a boy yelled and I pulled away from Mischa so that I could look at him. I had no clue who he was. No wait he was the one that took us to the hospital. He had just now picked himself up off the floor and since I was just getting the body after Loki I could only guess that he was the one that put him there.
“What do you want?” I hissed at him.
“Listen here I don’t know what you problem is. You have to be one of the weirdest people that I’ve ever meant. But you don’t push someone just cause they are dancing with their friend.” He said and I smiled because the baby was sad that he got pushed. How lame was that.
“Bijan it’s ok. Evian didn’t do it.” Mischa said and Bijan just looked at her.
“You’re kidding me right.”
“I will explain later okay.” She promised him
“Whatever. I’m going home. Happy birthday whoever you are.” He said and walked away from us from me. I only smiled because well it was funny when you think about it. There was no need for him to get his panties in a twist. He wasn’t even bleeding that meant that Loki wasn’t even trying to hurt him. That Loki wasn’t even playing with him.
“Okay see you later then.” Mischa called after him but he was already across the room and leaving the house. I scanned the room for signs of my family but they weren’t here maybe gone out with Nakita and Angel to trick or treat. I could feel Mischa hand in mines and it made me turn to her and look.
“What?” I asked.
“Just making sure you don’t run from me like you did last time.” She said and I frowned and turned away from her looking off across the room again. I didn’t want to hang out with her. I didn’t want to hang out with anyone right now. I wanted to play my own little game. I wanted blood. It’s been so long since I’ve had it. The taste of decay should have filled my mouth but it was sweet right now. Too sweet. I looked over at Mischa wondering if she had something to do with that. But of course she did who else could it have been.
My frown deepened when I could feel another Ian pushing against me. Telling me that it was time for me to give up the body so that they could take their turn. There was so many of us and yet so few hours in the day to control the body. Beside tonight we all get a turn so I released control to the next Ian that was in line.
I wander the halls since there didn’t seem like anything else to do. I felt as if I was waiting for something. Maybe waiting for another turn in the body. Maybe waiting for the end. It seem like all I ever did lately was wait. I hated these new feelings that I had too. I was going to slaughter Ducky for locking me in that room. Even in my own safe room I don’t feel whole anymore. I felt as if I was one crisis away from breaking completely. As if one more anything was enough to shatter me. And what would they do without me. I bet none of those bastards thought about that.
Without me they would feel all of their pain not just what has flooded out of me all of it. Undiluted and rushing towards them. I smiled at my own thoughts. I wasn’t an idiot of course I didn’t want to die. But seeing all the other Ian’s in pain. Well now there was something to smile about.
I frowned when I saw Dark walking towards me in the hall. I most have wandered to his side of the brain without knowing. He paused standing in my way so that I couldn’t get pass him. God this guy was such a dick. Who died and made him King anyways. Oh yeah that bitch True-Ian did.
“Get out of my way Dark.” I told him.
“You don’t belong on this side.” Dark said and I rolled my eyes.
“Left side, right side you’re forgetting something very important Dark. I have no claim to any side and none have claim over me. That means that I can roam freely. Now move you’re in my way.” I said and he smiled as she stepped to the side with a smile one his face giving me just enough room so that I could walk past him. I wandered the hall until I came to a room that I never saw before. I wandered in and saw the last thing that I wanted to see.
Rex one of the monsters from the right side of the brain was standing at the mouth of a pit. All six arms filled with weapons. It made me wonder what was in the pit. It made me wonder what Dark had been doing over here. How long have that pit been here? How long have this room been here? Has Rex been guarding it all this time? I could feel it. The gods know that I could feel it. The others were idiots if they didn’t. Bad shit was about to happen again. Bad shit always happens on our birthday.
Asylum
Loki let her live. I was almost disappointed in my friend, in my master, in Loki. How could he allow her to keep her life when she was the key to undoing both King and Nian? Was he getting weak I wondered. Did he see her pretty face and then forget what his task was? It didn’t seem like Loki back I understand that he has needs as well. They tell me that we all have needs. But I don’t feel for her like the others do. I don’t want her like the rest of them seem to. She was a pretty girl. That was true. It only made me want to scare her face though. It only made me want to see the fear and pain in her eyes.
I looked down at my hand and frowned when my fingertips were bear. It’s so hard coming from the mind to the body. I felt so naked without my jacket. I felt so incomplete without my blades. And yet it would be frowned upon if I had them. Well maybe not tonight. Maybe on this night it would be fine. I smiled as I thought to myself why this was a special day.
I smiled because I could smell blood in the air. I could taste death and fear as if it was favors of food. Someone was going to die. I had thought it was Misha when I spoke to Loki but he must have given up on that dream. Or he’s taking his time. Or he’s playing his game. Any of these could be the answer to that question. When I returned to the brain I would ask him which one it was.
“I don’t think I know what Ian you are.” Her voice cut through my thoughts and I looked over at Mischa. She was doing her best I would give her that. She wanted people to think that she was innocent but she even had King drooling over her. He might not know that he’s drooling but it’s a good thing that I’m smarter than King. I felt as if I was smarter than them all. I knew what Mischa was. A wolf in sheep’s clothing.
“I am Hades. Hades I am.” I spoke to her and she let a smile spread across pink lips. What the fuck was so funny I wondered.
“I like the way you speak.” She said and I lip pulled back in a sneer. “You don’t like me much.”
“I don’t trust you. Trust you I don’t.” I answered and she nodded.
“I understand why. Beside it’s not like I could get all of the Ian’s to fall for me.”
“Is that your plan? Your plan that’s it.”
“Hmmm I don’t really have a plan other than to be with Nian. The only thing is…” she paused and stood on her tip toes so that her lip brushed against my ear as she spoke. “I’ll willing to kill all other Ian’s if you get in my way of having him.” She said and giggled. I grabbed her chin making her look at me. Making her look into my eyes. All the while looking into her blue eyes.
“You’re just as mad as we are. We are just as mad as you.” I said and she shook her head.
“Don’t insult me Hades. I’m not crazy. I just get what I want.” I didn’t understand this girl. Why did she want Nian so much? What did she want with Nian in the first place? I licked my lips as I thought about it. As my brain tried to come up with reason why she would want Nian. I was pulling a blank. I couldn’t see anything special or great about him. He was just Nian after all. He was just an enemy of the right side of the brain. He was Loki’s enemy and he was mines as well.
“You smell like blood.” Mischa said and I pulled away from her as she giggled again. I didn’t trust her but she was twisted and wrong. I would never like her. Not in the way that the others did. But I was interested now. I was going to learn everything there was to know about Mischa Young.
I frowned when I felt an Ian unknown to me pushing at me. It wasn’t Ducky and he was the only one with a turn left though I was sure that either King or Nian would try and take a second go. It was this day this special day so no doubt Nian would be the one to two shots at it. With that said who was this Ian? He moved my hand running my fingers through her hair. I frowned because I didn’t want to touch her. I didn’t want to do anything like that with her. I could feel his eyes running over her. I could feel my eyes running over her. I didn’t like the heavy feeling that one gets when another Ian is trying to take control. Whoever this was aren’t following the rules. I would personally teach him a lesson when I get my hands on him.
His other hand reached out lightly brushing his fingertips against the skin of her leg moving his hands up pass her thighs. I gasped in disgust as I released control of the body. I could feel him release at the same time as me.
“Fuck!” I swore when I felt Ducky take over and I was left in the mind.
“What are you doing?” King asked me and I looked up at him. I guess the right thing to do was to tell him about the new Ian if was playing loyal dog. But I was too pissed to deal with King’s shit.
“Releasing the body. Body releasing.” I answered and King looked down on me as if I was lower than dirt. Probably in his eyes I was. I hated that little prick. The bitch, asshole, cunt, and all the other colorful words that Loki had used when describing King. He should pay more attention in history class. It’s always the tyrant king that loses his head in the end.
“Get out of King’s way Hades.” He said and I moved to the side so that his Grace could move pass little old me.
“Son of bitch.” I hissed behind his back and turned around when I caught a scent in the air. Evian. My favorite toy was on this side of the brain. My lips twitched into a smile as I set off to find him. Oh what fun I was about to have.
