A few months had passed from the day I first had training now we are taking a break 3 days before the operation took place I ended up telling Ink and Dream about my soul, they were both completely upset with me for not contacting them sooner when it happened, but Dream became horrified of me. His eyes were drenched with regret. Sometimes he would just scream out of no where. Today was my last day of training now i'm going to have a "Share pair" with Jason which means switching our Sprites for a day. The next 3 days will be home time and spending with my family and friends, I didn't know that I was going to make it home.

I was at my doorstep waiting for Jason to arrive. Rose was on my shoulder waiting patiently, my mom wasn't home so it made it easier. 

What's going to happen? What will I do? 

"Hey, little girl want some candy?" I looked up. Jason. I went for a punched immediately he caught it. "Nice try sweet pea." he said letting go. "Well where's the little guy?" I asked him. "Did you call me little?" I see Collide's four paws peer over onto his head. "Uh no!" I stuttered. "Collide!" yelled Rose pouncing onto him. "Get off me! That isn't the way you should act!" I rolled my eyes. "Damn so serious." Jason smiled, "I know right."

"Well ready for the exchange?" He added. "You're making it sound like we're drug dealers or something." Jason knelt down. "I get high off my cat." 

"That's even worse!" hissed Collide as he came onto his nose. "You can never be serious can you?" He shook his head. "Not one bit." 

"Ok you two, I don't have all day. Let's get going." I said as I got up and looked at the small cat. "Come on lets go." I said as I held my hand out for him to climb onto. He looked at my hand and pounced onto it he looked back. "I wonder how this day can get worse." he had mumbled. While Rose was very jumpy. She sat down on his head. "I'm excited!" she boasted. "I'm not." As he slowly sat on my shoulder. "Let's go." said Jason. I looked at him. "See ya stoner." I said as I waved bye and headed the opposite direction. "Where are you planning to takes us."

I shrugged. "I was thinking for a walk at the park, but you might get recognized." I said as we walked. I heard him groan. "I know a trick, but is it worth my time?"

"Yes!" I yelled. "I mean yes please?" I say nervously. "May as well cause you're just going to lock me in that locket and who the hell knows what Rose puts in there." I said, hoping it would convince him. I heard him groan in annoyance. "Fine." he mumbled as smoke started appearing from his ears and nose. The smoke started surrounding him except his eyes. Having a blunt face of annoyance. His eyes grew bigger, resolving in the smoke disappearing. As the smoke cleared the cat still looked the same. But he was terrifyingly bigger. "You just made yourself bigger?" I questioned. "Yes now I look like any normal cat."

I glanced around the area we were heading to the park for a bit of a get to know each other way. "So tell me a bit about yourself." I say. "You know Jason quiet well. You know me quiet well."

"What do you mean?"

"These things are confusing and  i'm assuming if not I'm right that Rose miserably explained our purpose." I gave a gaze of remorse."Yep." 

"Well...Let's say we're like monsters, though it is where we originated from...except you were made from a book whom thinks is smart. All we do is help keep the universes in peace. We are you at least, a part of you that you denied to show or a different parallel version of you. Which is why we know so much about each other, we have your DNA. At least the simplest way for me to explain it."

"Yeah i guess it is a bit better not so much of everything thrown at me." Kinda.

"hmph." He said with a smile. "Did you ju-" "Excuse me?" I had almost bumped into a guy who was right in front of me. "I'm sorry sir." I said quietly. "Hmmm?" he said ignoring the apology. "A women, a cat, and a purse." Oh my loooord. Does this guys seriously want to jump me? 

Collide started growling low. His hand slowly slipped into his pocket and came out with a pocket knife. "Give it to me." My body relaxes. My purse dangles. "Oh come on!" I exclaimed. "Give it to me!" 

Collide if you attack I will too, but dont get super violent. No promises.

"Dad! Dad!" Exclaimed the ball of energy, Phoenix. "It worked!" I was in the living room collecting some data for my up coming meetings when Phoenix and Jupiter got home. Phoenix had ran off looking for Nightmare while Jupiter tagged along not knowing the situation. "You don't either?" I say softly. She shook her head. "Hmm?" I hum to myself. I get up and put the papers down. "Dad! Dad!" I hear him cheer once more. "Yes?"  He said coming from our room. I slowly walk towards it, not wanting to be noisy, but for the sake of these innocent souls was something i would do. "It worked!" Nightmare sounded confused. "What did?" Phoenix stuttered a bit. "The the thing. Fighting back." "Oh." Nightmare let a little smile. "I told you not to have pity on them. We-" "What the hell!" I screamed. Nightmare and Phoenix looked up at me. "You told him to fight his bullies!" Nightmare bit down on his pocky stick. He blinked a few times. "Yes I did is there a problem?" 

"Is there a problem? Is there a problem? Of course there's a fricking problem!"

"Phoenix leave." Nightmare said having his eyes a fixed on my gaze. "Uh um-." "Now!" Phoenix shut his mouth and ran out. I can see the tears streaming down his face. "Nightmare wa-" "What now you wanna cut shit and act like nothing happened! Oh wait you can't stand watching him cry! Isn't that sad, it would've been worse for him if he didn't defend himself!" I looked at the door then back at him. "He doesn't need your advice when it comes to dealing with that, we've been trying to fix this mess, non-violently and the first thing you do is tell him to fight back with his bullies! Heck it'll make it worse!" 

"My advice is way WAY more valuable then your advice, be quiet with the 'believe in yourself' shit it'll get you no where! Especially with him, I'm not gonna stand here and let my son get stepped over the same way I did! He doesn't deserve that but they do! They deserve to get stepped over repeatedly, they deserve...they deserve pain all of it...from the person they've conflicted it onto would be the best way to show them to back off!"

"What?! WHAT?! Is this really the way you show punishment! That isn't going to resolve crap! What are you trying to tell him through it to get rid of his bullies by hurting them! That isn't how he's going to grow up by hurting others to get what he wants, like you!"

He shut his mouth making his pocky stick snap. His eyes widen. "What did you say?" he said coming closer. I stood my ground. "You heard me, psychopath." He exploded. He aimed for my shirt I grabbed his hand. "Stop, trying to lay a fucking finger on me." I say sternly. He looked at me and pulled back. He scoffed and shoved me to the wall with his arm keeping me down, "You're lucky I care about you." he said roughly pushing against the wall. I grabbed his arm and pushed him away. He moved his arm towards himself, he gave me a stern glare and headed to the door. But before he left I gave him something in return "You're lucky that you're still alive." He stopped then he headed out. "I could've killed you a long time ago."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The growing hiss of Collide pierced my ears. Telling the men to back off. "All we want is the fucking purse and anything else you have!" Collide started growling. "Collide stop!" I say once more. The men have lost their patience and tugged at my bag and sweater. "Alright then!" Muttered Collide. As he launched himself at the men. He bite the first man on the hand close to the wrist while the other man tried to get close to tug him off. Wait! What am I doing here, standing here! 

I get the mans collar from the back and pull back. I then knee him right on the spot. He falls desperately onto the ground. "Help! Help!" The other man yelped as blood dripped down slowly through his skin. "Collide stop!" I screamed. He continued to tear through like it was paper. "Collide halt!" Immediately he let go. A small trick Jason taught me. The man fell back his arm and clothes covered in blood. Collide looked at me coldly and then back at the men. He walked over to him and snatched the purse out of his hand. "You should know who you're messing with before get yourself into problems." He said before turning back and walked away. The man stuttered in amazement and fear. I looked at the men whom I couldn't really identify. Didn't seem like they even had an identity. I grabbed my purse and looked at Collide. I sighed. "You.....never mind." I said as I took a step forward. 

Immediately my temperature dropped. I looked next to me Collide was small again. His firey passion was gone. "We should start heading back." He said calmly as if nothing had happened. "Hmph yeah." I started walking. I stopped. I noticed I didn't hear the men after we were deciding to leave. I looked back at the bloody scene only to find nothing. They disappeared as if they disappeared into thin air. I looked around confused. Where'd they go?

~TIIIIIIME SIEKP~

I sat down on the cement, hard and cold. I looked at Collide who was sitting down hovering in front of me alerted. "Collide?" He stayed silent. "What is that on you?" I said pointing at a mark on his shoulder. "Probably a tattoo." He said paying no attention. "It doesn't look like a tat-" 

"AAAAA."

He collapsed. "Collide!" I scooped him up and looked at him the mark was spreading. "Ugh! What the hell is it doing!" I looked at it. Then it looked like it was stabbing him. "Its spreading but it seems to be digging into your skin." 

"Which shoulder?!" He said trying not to scream. "Right." I said. "Shit." He said as in someone breathing through their teeth. Then the imprint vanished. "Something wanted to get you if it was able to do something like that."

I know exactly who it was.
