Alice had separated herself from Paul for a moment, they had set up camp near Goldia as night had fallen, they would most likely reach the city tomorrow. Rob had just left once again; However, Alice had different things on her mind as she found herself in the forest with wet grass as the rain had just stopped, hiding between some trees. She saw something move in the trees, suddenly a giant golem came rampaging at her, it had the same purple dust substance as the void, she remembered it now. She also knows what the void is, but it seems like it wants to test her.

Alice smirked, “I am happy to oblige,” Alice spoke inside of her mind, to another being, “Are you ready for this, Freya?”

“I was born ready for battle, Alice.”

Alice gathered silver energy in the palm of her hands, “Now Abby, let’s see why you use this element,” Alice closed her eyes and she could feel the golem closing in on her. The void golem tried to punch Alice, she quickly teleported behind the golem and punched it in the back. It completely exploded into many pieces, Alice fell to one knee and panted, “so this is, a small fraction of my true power?”

She looked at the camp, Paul had walked over to check on her, He looked in shock at her, “What did you just do, Alice?”

She smiled at him, “I just took out a golem!”

Paul shook his head, “That is impossible, you should be dead!”

Alice shrugged, “Why? It was just a golem.”

Paul put his hands on his waist, “That was a void golem, I clearly saw the color and Rob told me what happens to people who touch the void, anyone who touches the void, simply dies. If you take them out, you use ranged attacks, or you need a high tier barrier.”

Alice smiled, “Like this?” She flickered a barrier of the light element into existence.

Paul sighed. “I still think something is fishy here.”

Alice shook her head, “I am fine, I need some time alone, please leave me, if anything attacks me again, I can handle it,” she finally got up, the power backlash of that one attack hurt her body a lot. However, she acted casually as if nothing were wrong.

Alice looked at Paul as he was making his way back to the camp, she moved further into the trees, she needed to make sure she did not have anyone looking at her. With a deep breath, a vision came out of Alice, however this is not just a projection, it is someone residing inside of Alice.

Freya looked at Alice, “You did great, we need more power though.”

Alice looked at Freya solidify as she took Alice’s power to give herself form, Alice let out a warm smile, “Seeing as you can do that, I can probably make duplicates of myself.”

Freya nodded, “It is how I took out a lot of my enemies. Now, Alice, I have been preparing for this moment a long time, I have already died twice, I want to make sure, there is no third time.”

Alice put her hand on her chin and studied Freya, “You were the original Alice, right?”

Freya looked at her with a twinkle in her eye, “in a sense, yes. Before they took my DNA after my death to make you, I looked and talked like you, despite being someone different, reviving me is where they made a mistake, as your race conflicted with mine. I was able to take full control of your body, this, did not work out as I had expected, which was why I died again, not before taking out the biggest threat to us.”

Alice looked at her, “Who could match you on that insane power scale?”

Freya smiled, “Some angels and shit.”

Alice started pacing back and forth, “You mean, like Bella?”

Freya nodded, “I wanted them to obey me, to be my slaves, I was to be their empress, imagine that, having people worship you as a goddess! However, as I got revived, my soul got put inside of you, and you got put inside a test tube. They experimented on us.”

Alice nodded, “I remember that, I lived inside of you then, the roles were reversed. Micheal saved us.”

Freya smiled at hearing that name, “Yes, Micheal, where is he?”

Alice shook her head, “I don’t know, but we need to find him, he can help us, I think we have enough control of the void, we must destroy Bella, for what she has done to Jake and Lilith.”

Freya nodded, “Indeed, is Lilith back yet?”

Alice shrugged, “I have no clue, as for Jake, he is probably still stuck.”

Freya sighed, “Things did not improve much since your memories got sealed.”

Alice nodded, “But touching the void, it made it all come back, we need to find Micheal, and then we can rule this land with an iron fist.”

Freya nodded, “We both know Bella is hiding him, and she has back-up plans to keep him hidden, we promised Micheal we wouldn’t look for him.”

Alice sighed, “I know, but it is time to break that promise.”

Freya looked at Alice, “What is our plan?”

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Alice let out an evil smirk, “We are going to deceive people, and get Micheal back, we need to fuse permanently if that is alright with you. We need to slowly gain our power back. It’ll take a while, we have been out of business for many years.”

Freya smiled, “I am fine with that plan, what about Steve, you love him, I can feel that.”

Alice sighed, “I might love him, but he is too busy playing around with that wolf thing.”

Freya chuckled, “the wolf people, didn't they use to be Wolfines?”

Alice shrugged, “We just need to let him be, I guess, at least for now.”

Freya gasped, “You know we need him to find Micheal.”

Alice nodded, “of course, without him, we will never find Micheal, we can be with him again.”

Freya sighed, “Yes, our time with him was special, until he cheated on us,” Freya scratched her head, “If he apologizes, I can forgive him for that.”

Alice agreed, “Me too, However, no one can know that you are awake Freya, it is going to cause mass panic for Stevie and Bella.”

Freya laughed, “I cannot believe he called himself Rob, it is such a bad cover name.”

Alice giggled. “I have to agree.”

Freya lifted her hand and put it against an invisible wall in the air, Alice put her hand against Freya’s hand, a surge of power erupted from the ground and everything started to shake. Freya smiled, “Time to turn things around, I just hope you have some magazines in there.”

Alice laughed, “You can read about the jet ski’s.” After a while, Freya disappeared into Alice.

Alice cracked her knuckles, “Oh yes, this is perfect, like it is supposed to be.”

Freya stretched inside of Alice, “It does not feel bad to reverse the roles, just, do your thing, if you need me for power, or a chat, I am always here.”

Alice chuckled, “That was a terrible joke.”

Freya giggled, “I only have bad jokes, and horrible puns.”

Alice nodded, “I know, we have already spent many years together, sister, do you think Bella still has our sister?”

Freya sighed, “I am sure of it, first we get Micheal to help us, then we find her.”

Alice nodded and started walking back to the camp, she was thinking about how to deceive Steve and Bella, for Steve, it will be hard, She needs to earn his trust. Otherwise, she will never find Micheal. As for joining Bella’s plan, it would be best to use Stevie for that, he stops to think with his brain once I offer myself to him. Even if that dickface killed me once, we have to play along until she has enough power.

Freya agreed with her thoughts, as they made their way back to the campfire, there was a bandit, he had his sword pointed at Paul.

Alice sighed as she over to the annoying situation, “What is going on here?”

The bandit called out, “I am taking everything you have.”

She looked at Paul who shook his head and spoke up, “You need to surrender Alice, he has the upper hand.”

Alice took a deep breath as she looked at the bandit pointing the silver sword at her, inside of Alice, she could hear Freya’s voice, “Men are fools, make use of that.”

Alice smiled at the bandit, “That sword is very pointy,” she did a step closer.

The bandit called out, “No step further, you might be a small lady, but I am going to hurt you otherwise.”

Paul looked at Alice, “Just, give him some of our stuff.”

Alice sighed, “I have a better idea, Paul?”

“Yes?”

“Do you know how we talked about killing people?”

“Yes, I do.”

“This is clearly a bad guy, right?”

“Yes, he is.”

“Alright,” Alice removed her shirt, the bandit stared at her small breasts, Alice punched the bandit in his face and he dropped his sword. While it fell to the ground, she kicked the sword back into the air and caught it. The bandit did not seem to register yet what had happened, Alice kicked him in his nuts, as he grabbed his groin in pain, Alice gave him a knee to his face.

With him falling, she grabbed him and put his face in the fire, As the bandit started screaming, Alice smiled. She could feel Freya enjoying herself as well, and the rage she felt against this bandit for attempting to rob her felt satisfied.

Alice threw the bandit aside, She scratched her head, “Wow are you not dead yet?” The bandit tried to crawl away.

Paul called out, “Just let him go.”

Alice shook her head, “He tried to rob us, and he deserves to be punished,” Alice walked over to the bandit and pushed her boot down on his back.

She looked at the sword, “I am going to keep this one, it is pretty,” Alice infused her boot with red energy and started applying pressure as the bandit screamed. She kept pushing her boot further down, until it cracked through the bandit and his blood and guts flew everywhere, the sheer amount of force Alice used made bones snap and scatter around.

Alice let out a happy sigh as she wiped some blood off her face, she looked at Paul while picking up her shirt, “Steve might have had a point, killing bad guys is needed. Otherwise, this bandit would come back to steal more.” She put her shirt back on.

Paul just stared at her, “I thought, we did not kill people.”

Alice smiled, “I have changed my perspective a little, after some recent events.”
