Tanner
So I started to show Fresia around the mansion, showing her the different rooms after talking to Aberius once again when he asked the day and I didn't see a coralation at all until I saw the darkness starting to surround him, and it was pretty strong. With that much power unleashed, who knew what would happen?
Can I have fun yet, Tan-Tan? This much power can give me a jolt of fun...!
I shook my head a little to get the idea out of my head until we got to an empty room that seemed fit for a Frostlass.
"I guess this would be your room," I told Fresia as I took in more of the darkness within the walls and it soaked into me. I was shaking now with cold sweat running down my face but I showed nothing as I talked to Fresia.
"I absolutely adore this room! Thank you so much, Tanner," Fresia said as I leaned in the doorway and felt the sweat running down my face. Damn it. I was losing control this early?
Fresia looked around the doorway and her room as she looked at everything and I felt one of my eyes twitching under my bangs. I needed to get out of here... There was too much darkness in this whole building. I needed to get to my room... Concentrate and have him not come out...
"You're welcome," I said in a straight voice but I must've sounded off because Fresia was looking at me now.
"Is something wrong, Tanner?" Fresia asked me and I didn't say anything, so she walked up to me and felt my head with the back of her hand. "You are a tad warm... Maybe you need to go see the Infirmary? I'm sure this mansion has one, correct?" All I could do was nod as she smiled a little, trying to help.
Worthless trash...
"Thank you for all of your help, Fresia. I'll do just that," I said with a strained smile and walked quickly away from her and immediately to my room where I closed the door behind me and used Grass Knot on my whole body as I tried to get him away from my mind as I lay on my floor.
I didn't want to make a bad impression like I always did... I never made many friends after escaping that Team Rocket Experimental Lab.... Because I would always lose control...
Come on, Tan-Tan.... Stop resisting... You know you have more fun when you're stronger and not weak like you are now....
"I'm not weak," I spat as I sat up and held my pounding head in my hands. He needed to get out... But I knew I would never get rid of him.
Yesss.... You are, Tan-Tan.... Without me, you're nothing.... You let our parents die in vain for you as you escaped... We should've stayed and saved their lives... Maybe then you wouldn't be so weak-minded!
"I'm not weak," I repeated and doubled over and I felt my right eye close and then open again and I could see myself in the mirror across the room. One eye completely black, the other one completely white... No...
Stop resisting... You knew how much dark power is in this mansion... Why not take advantage and see what these people are like...? Who knows... You might have fun...
"I won't let you take over!" I barked as I felt more darkness rising to my head. I had to get out of here. Now.
Yanking myself out of the Grass Knot, leaving the floor in shambles of grass, I yanked open the door and almost ran into Lupe.
"What do you want?" I spat and she frowned.
"Look, it's my job to help out the new Gijinkas around here! Not you. This is my job. I run this place, Tanner," Lupe said calmly and I laughed a little under my breath. He was already halfway in control.
"Come on, Lupe... With that attitude of yours, who... would ever want your help? Why don't you learn to be nice instead of barking at people? Maybe then people would want your help," I hissed and she looked lost for words until I pushed past her and she hopped after me.
What's with the stinking bunny....?
"Where are you going? I was actually hoping you could teach me how to be nice or something or other since it seems like everybody likes you," Lupe said as I hurried down the stairs as Lupe followed and I went outside.
"Fine, I'll teach you or something like that, okay? Just go away right now," I said quietly, the part in me still being free. Lupe looked at me as I leaned against a tree with eyes closed and I knew she was looking at me.
"What's with you?" Lupe spat and my eyes snapped open.
"I said GO AWAY, LUPE!" I yelled at her and she hopped off, furious. At least that problem was out of the way...
When I take over... I'll test that Absol... that is... when he wakes up too...
I felt myself drift away into nothing. A broken nothing. I slipped down the tree and drifted into unconsciousness as my other eye twitched and turned to black.
---------------
So, more of Tanner's past revealed!! And when he wakes up, he'll be the Other Tanner, so people could interact with him, it just won't be pretty. Is this okay with you, Kitty-chan and Otomi-chan? :)
Hope that was alright :D
