She laughed loudly, mocking him. "Danger?! You think I care that i'm in danger??! My WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN DANGER!!" North backed away from him, "And that," She said, pointing to the knife in his hand, "Is been how i've been coping! And you can't stop me." Another knife formed, this time cutting into her leg as she turned towards the stairs.
It didn't cut into her skin.
A fresh wave of agony was sent through M's brain and he howled with pain because the added pain was just too much to bear. He fell to his hands and knees, panting heavily and wracked with sobs.
North stopped halfway up the stairs. She turned and threw the knife back down near his head. "I'm staying." She said loudly. "For you."
He barely jerked out of the way of the knife, but cut his nose a little. The cut bled.
"No! I'm sending you back! You deserve the life that's destined for you! Not to be cooped up here with me!"
"NO. IM. NOT!" She screamed, running down to where he was and grabbing his face in her hands. "I have no life! I will never Have a life! If i'm destined to be anywhere its here! With you!"
M jerked his face from her hands, sending his blood and tears fluttering onto the ground. "No! I know what you were thinking! You want someone YOUR AGE to love you! You want a family and friends! I'm nothing! You won't get anything here with me!"
Zackary's laugh rang in his ears, making the throbbing pain worse.
"I do want that but I also know that I will never get that! Even if I left, every day would be torture thinking about how lonely you are here!" She yelled, pulling the knife out of the floor and turning it around in her hand.
M snatched it and threw it across the room. It disappeared. North saw the eerie glitter of his blood on the blade before it disappeared.
"You might! And you didn't leave because you wanted to! I would know! I don't know what happened, but–" He cut off in another scream of agony as another pulse of pain flew through his head.
North jumped at his scream and ran over to him, not knowing what to do. She wanted for him to stop crying, stop screaming, stop hurting. So she crouched down beside him, and before he could stop her, she pressed their foreheads together, willing his pain to travel into her mind. Suddenly North felt a surge of energy and she cried out as pain overtook her body. The voice laughed at her, You ignorant person, you know what your mother said, once it is done it cannot be undone. You're stuck with this the rest of your life. But ah, isn't that what you wanted. To feel such pain it covered up the rest of the memories.
"No!" He heard his hoarse cry (his voice was hoarse with screaming). He bent over her, his blood gently dripping on to her left cheek. "Dammit, dammit."
Zackary laughed with the North's voice. You really are hurting everything around you. Better call Neo.
Calling Neo was exactly what M did. "NEO! NEO!" He cried his twin's name, hoping that he'd somehow hear him.
There was a loud cracking noise, and a lavishly dressed man appeared, looking annoyed.
"What? I'm busy." He said in a deep voice relevant to M's.
"Take her. Help her, please!"
Neo glanced down at North, clearly thinking. "How the hell did she get here? Ah well. Up we go." He collected her in his arms.
North screamed in pain as she felt someone pick her up. "NO! M! I DON'T WANT TO GO! DON'T TAKE ME! M!!" She screamed his name over and over again, reaching out for him, kicking the man who was holding her.
Neo looked faintly bored as he threw North over her shoulder. "So do you want me to bring her back after I'm done with her, or…?"
"NO!"
"NO! TAKE ME BACK!! TAKE ME BACK! Take me back.." She went limp in the man's arms, giving up as she gazed down at M still on the floor. "Please take me back.."
"I– that's up to Neo, I'm sorry. He knows me better than I do." His voice was soft, and he didn't exactly meet her gaze.
"Alright, let's go get you fixed up, and I'll see what we'll do, alright you two?"
M nodded a little. Suddenly he whispered to Neo, "Férte tin píso."
Neo sighed. "Okay." He disappeared with another loud crack and North found herself in a nicely dressed room. He plunked her down on a couch. He put his hands bracingly on her head and said, "Stay still. This'll sting a little."
Tears streamed down North's face as she sat on the couch. The voice was still audible above the searing pain in her head. I told you he didn't want you to stay. He just thinks you're a little girl, unable to make the right decisions. Which you are, like I told you. She heard Neo say something but she couldn't make it out.
Neo stepped into her conscience and looked around.
"Hey, it's really dark in here. Ah well." He wandered around, looking for, well, her mean voice.
North cried out in shock and pain as she heard another voice inside of her. Her conscience screamed at the newcomer, YOU CAN'T GET RID OF ME! I'LL ALWAYS BE HERE INSIDE OF YOU, TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO AND SAY!
Neo put his hands on his hips and frowned deeply. "Ok, c'mon. This kid's literally 16 or something. And this must be stemming from somewhere. Man, you're so lucky that you have a Mind Reader God like me." He said sarcastically as he wandered around.
North gasped as something flew out of her mouth, its back facing her as it landed on the floor. It turned around, ghost like. "Hello North. I'm your conscience."
Neo let his hands fly off of her head and he stepped in front of North. "You know the drill." He stuck his hand out. (Neo, being the God of Thought can eradicate certain thoughts, memories or bad parts of consciences. He's a weirder M, basically. Whenever he touches a bad memory or conscience he takes it for his own. And he's built to take it. I felt like I should've explained before I made you do anything.)
The conscience backed away from Neo, "No no no i'm not going in you, that would be so boring." It whined, clutching its hands to its chest. North still sitting on the couch, stared at the conscience not speaking. "Why can't I go back in herrr? She was pretty…and so young.." It said longingly.
"Because she has a long life with M to live." Neo stepped forward. "C'mon, there's a whole bunch of other psychopaths you can live within me."
The conscience reluctantly flew into Neo and North sighed with relief. "Can I go back now?" She asked Neo hopefully.
Neo grinned. "No. Have fun with the other guys instead."
Neo looked at North. "Alright, back you go." He turned and stuck his hand out.
North thanked Neo many times before she (i dont know touched his hand and returned to M??)
