Pain.
I woke up screaming, clenching my chest as tightly as I could.
<See?> asked someone, yet my mind was in too much pain and confusion to recognize the voice. <I told you I would wake him up, besides like this he won't forget why he loves me so it's all good.>
[Well he won't be happy I'll tell you that,] said someone else.
The pressure on my chest was finally released and I panted, breathing heavily and desperately as sweat trailed down my forehead.
{Hmph, I would have done a better job that you bitch did,} said someone else. {He would have been both scared and excited, and that is what love is, not that you cheap copy would understand}
<Who are you calling cheap copy huh?! You little Control devil wannabe!>
{Don't you dare mention that bitch!}
While the discussion went on, I took a deep breath to calm down. Slowly, I began trying to analyze what just happened.
There was a contract… no, there were two contracts. I remembered that the Obsession devil forced me into a contract and somehow my memories weren't there, and then appeared the Heart devil, the two started fighting and I ran away. I came home… home.
Standing up, I looked around. Rubble and blood. It looked like a scene out of a gory movie. Everything was destroyed, buildings were collapsed and people were broken apart.
I was broken apart, wasn't I?
My hand moved to my chest, where I remembered seeing a hole, only to find it intact. My clothes were filled with cuts, holes and dried-up blood, but my skin was as smooth as always. Except for the scars in my arms, there was absolutely nothing on my flawless skin. Nothing were yesterday's wounds should be.
<Your welcome,> said a voice, which I now recognized as the one belonging to the Heart devil. <After I became your heart we kinda fused together. Normally you would have turned into a regular fiend, which is a devil in a human body, but you already were kind of a hybrid.>
"You stopped my heart, didn't you?" I asked, my tone calm. "That's how you woke me up."
<Well yes of course,> she replied, amusement evident in her voice. <Why, did it scare you?>
I see… I agreed to the deal because I wanted control, and all I did was hand it over to someone that relishes on showing me that I have no control.
"Haha hahaha,"
A small chuckle left my lips, which quickly turned into a full-blown laughter.
I was standing in the middle of the ruins of my house and the corpses of my parents after handing over pieces of me to make deals from which I gained virtually nothing in comparison with what I lost.
"HAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHA!"
It was fucking hilarious.
{Ahhh, I like seeing you so happy darling!} came in the voice of obsession, but I didn't particularly care for it.
I began walking, moving through the rubble and splattered organs as I climbed into a small mountain of what used to be a building.
Once in the top, I gazed down and-
[Don't,] said the Parallel devil. The asshole who reincarnated me and then left me. The bastard that lied to me. The idiot that decided to show up just as soon as I was at my lowest as usual. [These two are a part of you. If you jump now, they will come with you to the next life as well.]
And that made me stop.
So… not even death will give me the tiniest escape?
[Because of the contract you made with them, they are now literally merged with you. I think maybe killing them before you die would be enough to break both contracts with them, but I am not entirely sure.] he explained, but my mind stopped following after the words 'you made'.
"I made?" I asked aloud, my voice coming out as a whisper. "The contracts I made?"
<Hm? What were you two talking about?> asked the Heart devil.
{Wait they were talking? Urgh you bitch! Because of you I couldn't hear them!} complained the Obsession devil.
<What do you mean because of me?! It was your fault you random-> continued the Heart devil, but I stopped paying attention to them and decided to tackle my problems one at a time.
My eyes wandered through the ground and I realized that my vision was limited, as if I was only seeing from one eye… one eye. That's right. My left eye isn't mine anymore.
[Indeed, and speaking of your left eye, meaning my eye... you're gonna need to get an eyepatch,] said the Parallel devil. [I'll be able to see through it without much problem, and it would be troublesome if someone saw you with one green eye and one rainbow-coloured eye.]
Something clicked in place with the realization that the Parallel devil was now my left eye.
I crouched down and picked a pen from the floor. It's tip was broken, but that didn't matter now, if anything it made it better.
[Wait you idiot!] said Parallel as the pen approached my left eye. [You will feel it too! Besides, I will still be able to see even if you destroy my eye, and I will just regenerate it in a few seconds anyway so you will accomplish nothing!]
"It will annoy you." I said.
[Well yeah but-]
Before he could finish his sentence, the pen was already in my eye.
[Fuck! Get it out already you idiot!] he screamed, and I felt a smile form on my lips.
"You feel it to, don't you…" I said, my tone coming out almost as a song.
<Holy shit did you see that?!> said Heart devil.
Now that I think about it… we're are the others? I keep hearing all their voices, but there is no one around.
{Ah well, I am in your ribs and the other bitch is your heart-} explained Obsession devil, though she couldn't say anything else before she was interrupted by Parallel.
[You dumbass…] he muttered.
A smile grew on my face.
<Wait, now that I think about it… who the fuck are you?> asked Heart, and I realized she was referring to Parallel. It was interesting that she didn't know of him.
{Wait you are right!} screamed Obsession, agreeing with Heart for the first time since I began hearing them talk in my head. {Why are you in my darling?!}
I'm sure this discussion was going to be insightful and interesting, but right now there was something I would rather try. I hurt Parallel by stabbing my eye, did that mean that if I broke my ribs or hurt my heart, the other two would be in pain.
And so I jumped.
Air rushed in my ears as the ground quickly approached. The broken building from which I jumped wasn't particularly high, but it would hurt me enough, and hopefully it oiled hurt them enough. If not? Well… I still had eternity to figure out a way to make them pay, right?
Mumbled screams echoed in my ears, but I didn't pay them any mind. Instead, I decided to prepare for the crash, which meant falling on my side to make as much damage to my torso as possible.
And boy did I do damage.
