"No..." You whimpered, sinking to your knees. You clutched at your head. Toby put a hand on your shoulder. "(Name)? You okay?" You barely heard him. There was a ringing in your ears. She couldn't be here... not now. Not after all the years you spent running. Not after all this time...

A wave of pain and queasiness swept over you, pushing you onto all fours. Gasping at this point, you managed, "...R-run... Please..."

"(Name), what..." But suddenly Toby's hand was gone from your shoulder. Looking up through your haze of confusion, you saw he had drawn his hatchets. There were knives in Masky and Hoodie's hands, too. Backer than the night, colder than life, the familiar shadows swirled around the four of you. Then, through the trees, came the sound of laughing. It made you feel sick. It sank into your bones and sent little patchworks of frost tingling over your skin. Then, she spoke.

"Well, well, well, (Name). I didn't expect you to keep such company. I mean, they are killers, but then again," She smirked. "So are you."

You looked up. There she stood. She looked just like you. Same height, same face. But, different at the same time. Her eyes were blood red, with hair so long it went down to her knees. Her face was different, as well; it didn't fit, as if she was just someone using your image, and badly. The thought made you angry, and seemed to give you strength. You got shakily to your feet, but when you spoke, your voice was steady. "Hello, (Name)."

You could sense the other's tension, and their suspicion. But there was no helping it. Instead you asked "How did you find me?"

(Name) smile slyly. "It wasn't very hard, really. You haven't had that much of a rage for a while. You forget that I am part you. I can feel your emotions, and you can feel mine." Your (e/c) eyes flickered over the situation, and you were about to explain what was going on, when the other you got impatient.

"You're boring when you're not fighting," She noted dully. Then she gave a truly worrying grin. "How about we, spice things up a bit?"

Your eyes widened. No...

(Name) smirked, and then closed her eyes. Her whole form began to glow with a black light. Then out of the back of her hoodie (which was identical to yours) erupted huge black wings. She opened her eyes, and they themselves were completely black.

  She hung in midair, the blackness harsh on your eyes. Then, she breathed one word: "Attack." And all Hell broke lose.

The swirling black shadows around you exploded, and lunged for Toby, Masky, and Hoodie. They were slammed to the ground, struggling furiously, but to no avail. There was crackling in the air, like the sound of lightning. It filled your head, driving you beyond control...

                                                                                            ~o0o~

(Name) sank to her knees again. There was pain in her shoulders, pressing against her back. She screwed up her eyes, the feeling blinding her. And suddenly it happened. Her hoodie ripped over her shoulder blades, and her own set of wings sprouted out of her back. These were coppery red, dripping with blood. When she opened her eyes, they were the same copper color as the wings. At this the other (Name) looked a little... afraid?

  But (Name) didn't hesitate. Using her wings as leverage, (Name) pounced at her counterpart. She sent the two of them crashing through the trees. Here, (Name) had the advantage. Her dagger was still in her hand. She slashed and hacked at the other (Name). Dark blood was sent everywhere. But the doppelganger wasn't going down just yet. With an amazing show of strength, she twisted the dagger out of (Name)'s hand. As soon as it was in her own hand, the other (Name) plunged it into her opponent's stomach. (Name) choked blood, staggering. She stumbled against a tree.

                                                                                           ~o0o~

You gasped at the weight in your gut, the pain and frustration and anger welled up inside you, and literally exploded out of you. The shimmering aura around you seemed to grow brighter and brighter. It surged with power so bright that your opponent was disintegrated. The black shadows surrounding Toby, Masky, and Hoodie dissipate. Then the light fades. Your wings are gone. Your eyes return to normal. And you fall. Blood spatters the forest floor. Someone yells your name. You can barely move. Blood-loss makes you dizzy, and then sinks you into blackness.
