Chapter 9: Insanity At It's Best
"YOU SAID I WANTED YOU!" Starting to lose my breath from the excessive yelling, I begin to pant. "AH..WELL, YOUR RIGHT!" My hands are trembling from fear and anger, but out of stubbornness I tighten my hands into fists.
Pure hatred runs through me and my thoughts are solely focused on murder.
"I DO! I DO WANT YOU! The demons want to make me lose control, through you! I CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN!" I say and hold back more tears. I'm not going to cry again. I won't show weakness! "SO YOUR EITHER WITH ME, OR AGAINST ME!" Having said my final command, I aggressively stomp my foot down and clench my teeth shut.
I wait for an response.
My heart is beating rapidly. You could hear my pulse from a mile away, but don't misunderstand, it's not fear, It's the adrenaline running through my veins. I'm not going to allow myself to get scared anymore!
How can you be sure, do you think I will be loyal?
It finally answers and I raise my head to stare at the ceiling. "Because your me! You're my insanity!" I begin. "So, if you betray me, I'll get rid of you!" I say and hear more mocking laughter.
Your right, I am your insanity. The only problem is, you can't get rid of me. Like you said, I am you.
Hearing the dreaded response from my insanity, my eyes widen and my hands begin trembling. "Your right, I can't get rid of you...but I can sure as hell silence you!" Clutching my hands with brute force, I control my fear and keep my composure.
Always so positive. How annoying.
After hearing the comment I turn on my smart ass gist. "Aw! You love me!" Grinning from my sudden mood swing, I cover my mouth and muffle my laughter.
So? You want to control your insanity. You want to control me. How?
Suddenly snapping out of my laughing fit, the seriousness of the situation hits me and I take a moment to consider the question. "Practice! I'll practice! I'll get better!" Letting determination cling to my voice, I hear mocking laughter.
I won't make it easy. I will try to destroy your mind. I will try to ruin you. All. For. Fun.
Hearing the sly answer so clearly, I begin to regret my decision, but I can't stop now. I've come to far to give up.
"I ACCEPT! I ACCEPT! I ACCEPT!" Screaming my answer I try to drown out the thoughts of giving up. Then I hear a snicker echo through the room.
Fool.
I drop to my knees. I feel like my head is about to explode. I clutch my head. I clench my teeth from all the pain. My heart's beating rapidly. "Aaah!" I scream and feel my eyes change into my signature color, purple. I can feel my pupils shrink.
Then. There's. Silence.
~
Asjha stands in silence. She heard the entire conversation Elizabeth was having with herself.
She's speechless.
Ashja's breathing becomes heavier and louder by the second as she walks closer toward the door, but out of fear she comes to a halt. Her heart feels like it's going to jump out of her chest.
She's worried. Her best friend just went insane. She has no other choice. She needs to help her. Asjha is tough, she's sassy, she's mean, and she always speaks her mind. That's the type of person she is.
"Like hell I'm going to back down!" After a moment of collecting her thoughts, Ashja's determination sparks inside of her and she quickly moves to open the door. Resting her hand on the doorknob, Ashja slowly let's the door creak as she opens it.
The room is dark.
There's shattered glass everywhere.
"What the..?"Asjha looks around the fitting room trying to find Elizabeth while she tries to process the reason behind all of this. Her eyes finally rest at a dark corner. Elizabeth is sitting down with her arms around her legs. Her long black hair is covering her face as she digs her head between her thighs.
"Oh no." Asjha says and starts to move closer towards her. She notices that Elizabeth is moving back and forth. This sends a shiver down her spine. Walking closer toward her dear friend, Ashja lowers her body to meet eye level with Elizabeth.
"Elizabeth, are you okay?" She says with concern in her eyes. Elizabeth stops moving. Asjha listens intently and realizes her friend's shoulders are moving up and down, vigorously. "Liz, please! I'm here now, don't cry!" She says, desperately trying to talk some sense into the black-haired girl.
Asjha continues to listen intently and notices Elizabeth's head is slowly rising. "I knew you weren't going insa-" Ashja interrupts herself when she realizes Elizabeth wasn't crying.
She was laughing.
"He.he..haha!" Elizabeth grabs Asjha's head fiercely and stops laughing. "Can you make the voices go away?" Elizabeth asks her friend in a soft, serious voice. Asjha's face gives a confused expression. "What? No..I can't." She says bravely.
Elizabeth lowers her head and shows Asjha her menacing purple eyes. She grins wickedly.
"Then your useless to me."
Elizabeth's voice is barely audible as she responds, but Asjha can hear it loud and clear. Elizabeth pushes Asjha on the floor with her paranormal strength. Now on top of her, she whispers in Asjha's ear.
"Boo!"
Laughing sinisterly and violently, Elizabeth gets off Ashja with pure joy so she can watch her friend run away in horror. Now alone in the room, Elizabeth starts a countdown.
"5..4..3..2.."
She looks at the ceiling and smiles.
"..1"
Elizabeth rises from the ground and runs out the store, ripping clothing off the shelves and racks. "Fun time!" She says as she runs out the bundling and stops in front of a moving car. The car stops an inch away from her.
The girl doesn't even flinch.
The driver scared and confused starts honking at her. Elizabeth raises her hand and let's claws form at her nails. She runs her claws on the hood as she walks toward the driver. Making a horrible screeching sound.
The driver runs out of his car and Elizabeth merely laughs. She grabs her head and shakes it lazily. "Insolent coward!" She says and runs toward a store. Once she reaches the entrance, she innocently glides in.
"Can I help you, ma'am?" The store clerk asks with a bit of confusion to see a teenage girl at such a store. Elizabeth smiles sweetly at him. "Yes, you can. Which one of these 'accessories' causes more damage than all the others?" Pointing toward the several shelves with a jittery finger, Elizabeth's smirk doesn't waver.
She had walked into a tool shop.
"Well, it depends. Would you prefer something sharp or something that could blow something else up?" The clerk asks jokingly and she nods her head. Confused, the store clerk asks again. "So..which one?" Feeling a bit surprised from the response, the store clerk clarifies his request, causing Elizabeth to smile with delight.
"Both."
Asjha, running away as fast as she can, grabs her phone and dials a number. She holds her phone up to her ear and waits for it to ring. Someone finally picks up. "Siva! It's Asjha, there's something wrong with Elizabeth!" Screaming into the phone, Ashja almost trips as she runs. You could feel Siva's eyes widen as he shouted on the other line. "What?! What's wrong?!" He says as concern wells up in his voice. "She..she's insane!" Knowing that her response is vague, Asjha anxiously waits for Siva's respond.
"Where are you?!" He asks with fear clinging to his voice. Then Asjha doesn't take long to answer him.
Back at the store, Elizabeth picks her favorite toys and looks at the clerk. "This never happened." She says and glides out of the store. The store clerk rushes out, chasing down a thief. His attempts are in vain as Elizabeth turns invisible.
She jumps on an empty car and dismisses her invisibility. "Who's up for a barbecue?! Insanity clear in her eyes, Elizabeth turns on her blowtorch. She transforms into a fire elemental and uses her power to make the flames 10 times bigger. When people notice a deranged girl wielding a blowtorch, they run like hell.
"Hahah!! I always loved the game cat and mouse!!" Beginning to chase after the running civilians, Elizabeth burns multiple buildings along the way. Whenever she felt the flames weren't big enough, she would fire bigger flames at the buildings from her hands. People watched in disbelief.
Elizabeth threw the blowtorch away, when she was finally satisfied with the amount of flames, she grabbed her chainsaw. She ran toward cars, slicing them into billions of pieces, as she continued to laugh like a maniac. Which she was.
"HAHAHAHAH!!!!" Elizabeth was causing chaos everywhere she set foot on.
Did she care?
No, hell no. She ran, she ran, she ran, and ran, slicing anyone that was in her way. "Let's paint the town!! HAHA!!!" She said as blood started to color the roads with a deep, red liquid. She laughed, she laughed, and she laughed. It was all just a joke to her. A really funny joke.
Then unexpectedly Elizabeth jammed her chainsaw on the ground, so she could lay her elbow on it. Crossing her legs, she looked childish. She smirked and slowly licked the blood dripping off her arm, but it wasn't her blood. Her eyes remained pinned on one single target.
The babysitters.
"This'll be fun." She said to herself and then she grabbed the chainsaw sluggishly.
Still with her eyes pinned on them, she continued to walk slowly towards them. She made an awkward smile and scrunched her face.
"Hi."
She said a little reluctant. Siva was the first man to step up. "Stop this. This isn't you." Speaking with a firm voice, Siva only made Elizabeth laugh menacingly. "Your wrong. This has always been me. I just didn't show this side of me up until now." After frightening her guardians, Elizabeth rips her cast off, since being insane won't allow her to feel any pain, and shocks Siva.
She ran towards them at extraordinary speed. Taking him off guard, she was almost able to cut Siva, but fortunately, he jumped away before she could. She swings the chainsaw again, but with more anger and force.
"I want you dead!!! I want you dead!! I want you deeeaaad!!!!" Letting vicious words spill from her lips, Elizabeth jumps and leaps to avoid Siva's attacks. Jinx waves a staff in the air and makes Elizabeth go still.
Only for a second.
She's too powerful for a tiny attack like that to work on her. She whirls her body around in midair and raises her chainsaw. It hits and slices Jinx's arm off. "Uh oh! I'm sworry!!" She says and laughs at him bellow with agony. Siva horrified to see his queen like this, pulls a sword out and aims it at her.
"Please Young Mistress, don't make me do this!" He says and only makes Elizabeth run at him at top speed. "HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!" Throwing herself at him, Elizabeth aims for Siva's stomach, but he leaps away avoiding another close call.
He can't do this. He would never harm his little princess.
Unfortunately Elizabeth knows this too.
She leaps into the air and transforms her body into a dragon. She expands her arms in midair as giant green wings burst out of her back. Then she falls backwards and flies towards Siva, ready to spit fire at him. Siva's wearing Elizabeth's belt and calls for a shield. This blocks the fire Elizabeth sent earlier.
That angered her, a lot.
Her nose flares up as she puffs up more fire and shoots it out of her mouth. An enormous flame flies at Siva. The shield wasn't able to protect all of his body and burns some of his flesh.
Ouch.
He screams with agony.
As he falls to the ground, Elizabeth sweeps down and catches him before he hits the floor. She gives him a sweet smile, only to turn into a wicked one as she speaks to him.
"I don't need you anymore, I'M ALL GROWN UP!!"
Mocking Siva with fits of laughter, she tosses him at a building, probably breaking a couple of his bones. She raised her hands and laughed triumphantly as she saw Siva lose consciousness.
She stops. She senses danger. She quickly turns around, but she's not quick enough.
She falls to the ground after being hit by a magic blast. She rises off the floor. "Oopsie!! I FORGOT ABOUT YOU!!!" Dashing straight toward Jinx, she leaps into the air and kicks him in the stomach. The harsh impact sends him flying backwards. He forcefully lands on the floor, coughing up blood and clutching his stomach from the pain.
"Now, let's finish this." Elizabeth says with eyes full of nothing else but evil. She's still insane, just a little more intense. She runs up to him and raises the chainsaw over her head. A shield of magic blocks her attack though.
"Gah!!! DIE ALREADY!!!" She says frustrated and she continues to hit the shield over and over. Jinx is using the last of his energy to try to stop Elizabeth, but he knows he can't.
She's too powerful.
"Elizabeth, please! You have to listen to me!! These are the effects of the poison!! FIGHT IT!!" He says and notices Elizabeth come to a sudden stop. She lowers her weapon and stares at him. She grins. Wickedly.
"Hahaha...what are you talking about? HOW CAN I FIGHT SOMETHING THAT I WANTED IN THE FIRST PLACE!?!"
She tells Jinx and causes him to gawk in horror. "I asked for this! I wanted this! I need this!! So, just shut up and let me have my FUN!!" Letting magic flow through her body, Elizabeth uses it as she pounds on the shield.
It breaks.
She grins.
He shivers.
Interesting, huh?
Elizabeth runs up to Jinx, claws extended. She jabs at him. Her hand passes right through.
"An illusion." She turns her head around, but it's too late. Jinx has already sedated her.
"Sweet dreams." Jinx retorts and Elizabeth starts to loses consciousness.
"Fun's over" She thinks to herself as Jinx pulls the needle out of her stomach. Blood spilling. That'll leave a mark!
She's falls on the ground...
