Voices

I'm going crazy.

Was my first thought when I heard the laughing in my head.

"You're not going crazy, at least not yet." The feminine voice said and laughed again.

Maybe if I ignore it it'll go away. I thought. More laughter.

"If you really believe that then you really are crazy." More evil laughter.

"Who are you?" I asked out loud and Lina paused in what she obviously enjoyed doing and looked at me.

"What?" She asked.

"Yes Dealia please tell her that you are busy having a conversation with yourself." The voice said with laughter in it's voice

"Shut up!" I hissed under my breath but Lina hears me.

Lina's eyes widened at my words and a look of hurt takes over her features.

"No, no. I'm not meaning you Lina." I say hoping she believes me.

"Who are you meaning?" She asks still looking a little hurt.

"Who did you mean?" The voice taunts.

I squeeze my eyes shut and speak through clenched teeth.

"I was just speaking to myself Lina, please continue with what you we're doing." I tell her motioning to the broken and bloodied body of her father.

She gives me a long look then nods and turn back to what she was doing and I sigh in relief.

"Good job, I almost thought she had us there for a  second." The voice says laughing.

"I remember her, she was the one who was with us before we we're born, I tried to get into her head also but something was blocking me." She says and I know that she meant Lina.

My eyes widen at her words and I take a few steps back.

The feminine voice laughs again.

"Did I scare you little Ice? That's what they call you isn't it?" It asks and I'm kinda to shocked to answer at first but I snap out of that quick.

"What the fuck are you and why are you in my head?!" I shout inside my own my head.

"Can you not shout, I can hear you perfectly fine without shouting. To answer your question little Ice, I'm you and I've always been in your head, even before you were born." It said and I just stood there speechless.

"Cat got your tongue?" It laughed again.

What the hell is going on? I started freaking out in my head until the voice shouted at me.

"Calm the fuck down you crazy bitch!" It shouted  and that got my inner ramblings to pause for a moment.

"Did you just call me a crazy bitch?" I asked.

"Yes I did you insane cow, geez, shut the hell up you're starting to annoying me." My mouth had dropped open as I was being insulted by, well, by myself apparently.

"Excuse me!" I said not knowing what else to say.

"You're excused." The voice said now sounding bored.

"As I was saying before you went all insane in the membrane." She started then paused to laugh at her own joke, I just rolled my eyes at her.

"That was weak." I tell her and she stops laughing and growls at me.

"Whatever, like your any better. Let's cut to the chase shall we. I'm you, you're me. We're one so I'm not going anywhere so calm the hell down and deal with it." She says to me.

"Oh and you we're right, we are slightly insane." She says giggling and sounding a little crazy. There is no way that I'm accepting this, there was no way I was living with a voice in my head who is obviously crazy .

"If I am so are you." She taunts.

"If you we're in my head since before I was born why are you only just showing up now?" I asked her and she got quiet.

"This isn't really the first time that you and I have spoken, we've spoken before you just don't remember." She says and images begin flashing in my head of me when I was younger, before I left Encloin.

In one I was sitting in my room on the floor and speaking to myself and calling someone named Dare.

More and more scenes flashed in my mind where I always seemed to be alone but speaking to someone. The final image showed me sitting on my fathers lap and telling him about my friend called Dare.

"Where is this friend of yours?" He asked and looked around.

"You can't see her silly." My three year old self said while giggling at his silly question.

His brows furrowed and he looked at me.

"Why can't I see here sweetie?" He asked.

"Because she's in my head." Three year old me said and pointed at her head. I watched as my fathers eyes widen then he stood up and held me in his arms.

"Sweetie, I want you to promise me that you won't ever tell anyone about your friend Dare." He said looking in my eyes with a frightened expression. Little me bobbed he head up and down not really understanding why.

"Not even mommy." He said and she nooded her head.

"I promise daddy, I won't tell anyone not even mommy. She's kinda scary." She whispered the last part and his shoulders shook with laughter.

"Dare said to tell you hi daddy." She told him and his laughter stopped and he looked deep into her eyes and watched as her expression changed from a happy face to a sly one.

"Hello Dare." My father said.

"Hello daddy." Little me said with a devious smirk that just looked wrong on my young face.

The images stopped and I was back to myself.

"That still doesn't explain where you we're all this time." I say and hear her sigh in my head.

"When that piece of shit over there had our father killed, neither of us were able to handle what had just happened so I retreated to the back of our mind and slept until the time for our revenge. That council member I killed was just what I needed in order to wake me up." She said sounding evil.

"So you're name is Dare? What the fuck kind of stupid name is that?" I asked and watched as my right hand rose and slapped the side of my head.

"You're the one who gave me the name idiot, so shut the fuck up!" Dare shouted and I stood there with my eyes wide as I took in what had just happened.

"Did you just control my arm." I asked alarmed and she just laughed.

"No you ass, I controlled my arm, I told you we are the same person you're just in the drivers seat right now." Dare said.

"What the hell is....." I was cut off by Lina shaking me.

"Dealia!" She shouted in my ear and I wrenched my head away and covered my ear.

"What the hell Lina!" I shouted at her and she just shrugged her shoulders.

"I've been trying to get your attention for the past ten minutes and you we're just standing there like a statue." She says and holds out my blade which is now covered in fresh blood.

I take it and look over at her work and I have to say that I'm impressed. The soon to be deceased kings fingers are all missing and one of his eyes is gone, there is a large number of stab wounds all over his body and his mouth is hanging open to reveal a missing tongue.

I look at Lina with one eyebrow raised she just shrugs with a small smile on her face. I start walking towards him to finish him off.

"Let me." Dare says and I fell myself being shoved to the back of my mind while seeing out of my eyes.

"Just enjoy the show the Dealia and let a master work." Dare says and she starts in on him.

If this is anything like what she did to the other guy, I'm kind of glad I didn't see it.

Dare laughs at my words and I shiver a little.
