T-bone:
“What evil trick is this?”
Aiden Outré:
“It matters how you define evil. This is no ‘evil’ trick. In all honesty it’s not a trick at all.”
It couldn’t be true. There is no way that all of this could possibly be true. I pinched myself, hoping, begging to wake up. But I was there in that same spot looking up at X, well now he’s calling himself Aiden Outré. But it can’t be true. It’s unthinkable. It’s impossible. I’m Aiden Outré.
Aiden Outré:
“Not everything is a fairytale, T-bone. I thought you’d be smart enough to figure that out. You never got your fairytale ending in 3TBA, did you? NO! Why? It’s because the world isn’t one big happy fairytale. Life is life. So stop putting aside the inevitable and accept that I am you. The quicker you accept that, the better. Or we’re just going to be here for a long, long time Split.”
T-bone:
“Get out.”
Aiden Outré:
“Excuse me?”
T-bone:
“GET OUT OF MY HEAD!”
Aiden looks down at me, he mocks me just by looking at me. Looking down at me, he’s always looking down at me. I feel small, he looks at me expressionless. But all I can hear is his laugh inside of my head.
T-bone:
“OUT!”
I strain and push as hard as I can, all which my body is willing me to do. Suddenly is feel excruciating pain inside my head. In scream in pain before giving a final push. I suddenly relax. The laughter has stopped. I breath heavily, warn out. I pride myself in the fact, from what I believe that thing is out of my head. The excitement rushes out of me when I realise he’s still there, standing over me. Anger is what strikes me about Aiden Outré’s face. The pure anger all directed at me.
Aiden Outré:
“I’ll let that small fact slide. Well done, bravo. You did all your work to get me out of your head. But you’re now small, you’re weak. You need me, you need me to keep strong. You need me if you want to be successful. If you’re happy with being an insignificant part of life, then plod a long. Losing. I’ve already get plan B set up. So either way bothers me not. Good luck in your matches to come. It starts in twelve hours. Have fun trying to your energy back.”
I looked on as I saw Aiden Outré just disappear into the early morning. He was right, though. In twelve hours, and I was tired as it gets. I could only hope luck would be on my side. But there was no chance of that. Luck hasn’t been on my side for god knows how long. All I can do. Is hope.
****
Hope failed me once again. Deserted me, when I needed it to pull through for me. Honestly, though, what was I expecting? If you saw it, you knew it already. I fell to Vince Perfidious. I failed to even think . My head was out of it. I wasn’t thinking, everything is a blur. And that was when I heard the cold voice inside my head.
“It’s only the beginning.”
