Nora sat down on the chair. She relaxed herself on it. It feels comfortable. She steadies the chair back and forward with the tires on its heels in a pitch-black room which is illuminated by a thirty - feet tall monitor.

“Nora, what's your plan? Time is limited,“ the voice said, feeling irritated by it. Nora shrugged. " I have a plan. That's enough for you to know.”

The room fell quiet for five straight minutes.

" You seem not to act on anything. They are flooding in. We won't be able to control them if it continues like this, so we need to know your plan, Nora.”

“my plan — my plan, that's my plan. Let them flood in they want me, don't they? So, we round up as many. We can get, This project is for the anomaly, but we having them is a bonanza, don't you think?”

The voice didn't reply, it seemed to be in the thought.

"Nora, yes… And about this project you started almost a year ago, why did you do it?, moving in circles. It's taking a lot of time, which we don't have….”

Nora's anger seems to have reached its peak, but she pushed it inside but the abyss.

“This 'project' you seem to be worried about has brought us — you guys — more success than what you were literally doing before. They won't even realize we captured them, nor will they struggle. It's all going smoothly.”

The voice broad “Nora I know, but that takes a lot of time and that's the last thing I'll not like to waste,”

“Our fail rate is down 7.5% compared to the previous 45%, so do you think I'm wasting time?”

Something is coming out of the abyss. If this conversation continues, Nora knows she won't be able to control it.

“No Nora, we are pleased with it, but there's something about this project — the way you act makes us think—”

” I'm not deluded I'm not”

It's stirring up down the dark as she feels it.

She can't tame it, not like this.

“This project Nora, it's depleting you, your link is too low we can't keep you safe,”

Or you can't monitor me, Nora thought.

“And your brain activities are overwhelming, it might break…”

“I can manage just fine,” Nora shot back.

" We know, Nora, but your brain can't handle this. It's too big for you. And we noticed a second entity inside you, which we know you create. These are things a normal brain can't handle, yes we know yours isn't normal, but this is beyond abnormal. Your brain is falling apart. "

It's coming out, and she can't do anything about it.

“I can handle this just fine. This is what I wanted. I chose it. And I know you are not worried about me, it's just I can give you're afraid to lose.”

The voice did not reply.

” And I have carefully planned this project. This is the anomaly we're talking about, the second-biggest thing you can. You get your hands on beside me. It's going to take time and I don't care if we don't have any, if we mess this up it's over” Saying that, Nora filled her lungs to its capacity and relaxed it. The anomaly she's savoring it, saying that brought her some kind of ecstasy.

"We know you want to ease their suffering, Nora, but what about you?”

It came out, there's no stopping it.

" Ain't you suffering?”

Nora started coughing and fell off the chair.

"Don't you see how damaged you are?, Why are you doing this?”

The dry air coming out of her throat turned moist and crimson. She splattered it on the floor.

“You have to stop Nora”

Nora scratched the floor with her fingers, which got them destroyed. Her body overwhelmed by this anger, she screamed. Her head hurts, she's in pain too much for her to handle.

“ I can handle this just fine, stop!!”

“Stop interfacing with this. I'm going to cut the link so that I can be alone. You poking around is just adding to my misery!!!”

She screamed so loud and lost her voice.

I opened my eyes. The bed was soaked with sweat, my hair sticky, and to worsen it, my head ached. Seems like I just woke up from a nightmare. My ears are ringing. I got off the bed refreshed up, still feeling dizzy, and got dressed for school. I'm pretty late. Furthermore, I strolled to the kitchen. The TV is in the vol set to max.

It tried to figure out what was being said

” ~`% ¶¶¶°•°•” it's beyond my comprehension. Trying to figure it out only made my head hurt. I entered the kitchen and found mom chopping onions off the board.

Chop chop, the sound echoes through the kitchen.

“Mom, what's for breakfast?”

Chop chop” ¶¶¶¶•°•°|√|”

The sound coming out of the TV and the chopping board both synchronized.

“Mom?”

Chop chop “¶¶¶¶¶∆”

“What.....”

It all went black. I found myself in a classroom… In my classroom it's half filled the teacher writing something on the board, just one digit “1”. Huh? Are we taking binary classroom? My head started ringing,

“Ouch,”

I placed my hand on my temples. Ahh, what's going on?, I'm feeling dizzy. I felt a presence behind it came to my field of view.

“You're a masochist,” she said before karate chopping my hand, with the table it was on into pieces and flung me to the floor.

Sharp pain spread across my hands.

“What — are you doing?” A smile registered on her face.

“Don't act oblivious. Didn't you say I should bring my A–game today?”

“No way you took that seriously”

“I did and since their gaze are gone, I don't have to hide anymore.” After saying that her blue iris shone enveloping her eyeballs, turning them blue and leaving veiny like marks around her eye sockets, her hair turned blue a proud one. Her hands reeling in blue flare, instantly her leg hit my stomach turning the content inside jell. My body broke through the wall because of the force and flung me across the corridor, I couldn't feel the upper area of my body.

“Haaaaaaah!!!” I screamed. It hurt, my body was wet. What's this?, Is it blood? Before I could confirm it, I saw her enter the hall and instantly, before I could react, her leg scattered my jaw. She was fast enough to hold me before the force threw me away. She flung me towards the ceiling with a substantial force my body broke through, and I landed on the roof on my back. I feel numb, my bones are shattered, my clothes are dyed crimson. My eyes are the only thing I could work on my body. I stared at the sky, which was gray and furious. The entire place is quiet, the only sound is of her shoes as she works towards me. She placed both her legs on the sides of my head.

“Are you in pain?” That smile is still on her face. I coughed out blood.

“You c — can't kii…”

“Oh yes, I can kill you, dead or alive. You are still useful to us.”

Every cell in my body vibrated. They're reacting to something. My death that what they were reacting to, I twisted my body getting out of her grip and gave her some distance. Breathing heavily, still can't fill my body.

She laughed. "Oh, so you are afraid of death” she ran her hand across her blue hair then raised a hand towards the sky. Bent her upper body, the furious sky let out a cry which released a bolt towards me. Instantly, my body moved itself across the roof, missing me by an inch. The bolt scattered thirty percent of the roof to nothing.

Before I could react to it, she appeared before me and punched my stomach, which bore a hole through it. I coughed out blood, couldn't scream. This is beyond pain. I feel numb. My body fell on hers, standing, using it as support. I placed my jaw on her shoulder.

“You wanted to save them because they're suffering. Don't you see the major cause of their agony is you…”

“…. And what are you doing torturing yourself with this pretend or play you're putting up,"

She pushed me towards the edge of the building and whispered.

“Go to sleep" I fell, the breeze was cold, I love it. Wish I could stay like this forever.

They're suffering because of you, Why don't stop? This, why are you doing this? Are not you suffering?

I opened my eyes.

“I'm doing all of this because of them!!”

My heart beat faster than it intended to, my veins complained and was furious red flare appeared on my hands. In an instant, I landed on one knee, placed on the floor. I pushed myself up with an astonishing speed, catching her off guard.

I slammed her with my leg back into the building through the roof.

Her impact with the floor left a massive crater. I land on top of her, knocking the air out of her lungs. Grabbing her by the neck, I slammed her on the wall, my hands still on her neck. She struggled to get free of my grip with both hands, but it was futile.

“Just like you said earlier, we need you either dead or alive,” I said with a smirk on my face. Her blue eyes reflect my mine, which are crimson red. I tightened the grip on her neck, and it made a crackling sound. She stopped moving. Her hair turned to its normal color, pitch black.

The hall was quiet. I felt something heavy on my chest. What's this?, Is it remorse arrrghhh I don't feel good.

“Haha,”

Like a hush, a laugh escapes her lips.

“You're wonderful, Nora. I love you,”

She placed on hands on my stomach. Blue flares enveloped every cell in my body. I'm burning. I don't know if I'm was laughing or screaming.

“Noooo!!!” a voice echoed in the hallway. I knew that voice, gentle voice. She was running towards us with tears in her eyes. Just seeing her gives me tranquility in this agonizing state.

“Goodbye Nora. " that was the last thing I heard.

* * *

Nora opened her to a LED light on the ceiling, which was moving or rather moving on a bed surrounded by people.

“Check her blood pressure,”

“Her heartbeat is low,”

“Fractured skull, broken pelvic…”

“I don't think she's going to make it. "

The blonde girl next to Nora spoke

“Why do you have to beat her to this state” she seemed angry. Looking at the black bob haired girl with glasses. The girl replied.

“She won't come willingly, so I had to use force, which came with resistance.”

“But you—” she tried to reply, but Nora, who realized where she was interrupted her.

“No I'm outside no, no no, no stop,”

The blonde girl placed her hand on Nora's cheek.

“Hush, don't speak, save your energy,”

Nora became restless.

“I have to go back, no, no, no, no !!”

“Everybody, step back —” before the girl with the glasses could complete her sentence. Nora let out a flare that consumed everybody.

* * *

I found in a classroom which was empty, but she was there the girl, a string tied around her neck which leads to my pinky finger still tied to it. She's standing in the doorway.

“ I can't defeat you"

“I know the same here"

“ I have to find another way"

“Same"

“ You're strong”

“ I know same with you”

“But pitiful”

“ See around Nora"

Before she could go. I stopped her.

“ I have you under my control”

“ Oh, you think so ?”

“What's your name?”

“ How rude of me I didn't tell you"

“ MY NAME IS—"

Her lips moved but no sound I read them. The air vibrated, sending a wave to my ears.

And it went all dark.

I woke up feeling battered, my body felt numb, it placed its elongated flesh around my, stomach giving me warmth.

It whispered in my ears, and I fell asleep.
