Ashen Wastes: The Road to Nowhere?

[Dawnika Snow]

Gun blared through the speakers of the flat screen TV. It was nice to sit down and relax after close encounters with homicidal robots and fire breathing drakes. Be her human or prime, she has her own desires, and she will see her endless life be a decent one. Or so she thought it would.

She gripped the controller tightly as pain coursed into chest. It felt like her heart was melting into a pile of boiling blood and organ. She yelled out as her heart felt set a blaze.

“What the hell is going on?! God-Fuck!” She yelled out.

”You're mine now. That’s what’s going on.” A woman’s voice echoed from the back of her head. The shocked woman stood and grabbed her rifle taking aim at the air trying to find her target. The voice only laughed in response. ”Your weapon would never harm me, girl. You’ll be lucky to aim that gun when I take over.”

“Go fuck off. I don't know what you think you are, but I am not so easily controlled.” She replied.

”Your concern is none of my business welp, this body is mine now, whether you like it or not.” Pain seared through Dawn’s skull as the demon tried to take her mind for her own.

“You're all talk!” Dawn laughed. “I'm too strong willed you piece of dogshit!” The pain suddenly stopped in both her chest and head. “Hehe...ha!” She laughed as she breathed heavily. “You can't do it can you? You're too weak!”

”You laugh now you sad excuse for a human, but soon this body will belong to me. Remember thy name, Kagetsume, for soon it will be the only thing that matters to you.” The voice echoed.

“I'm not a human you idiot. I'm a prime. Stronger than a human could ever wish they could be.” She said breathing heavily. The voice disappeared and the standing dog at her side looked worried and confused. She could not hear the voice in Dawn’s head. A whine escaped her breath, as way to ask if she was fine. Dawn just laid on her back and pet her furry friend.

“I'm gonna need a Dr. Pepper after that one.” She said as she summoned the cool can of soda in her hand and popped it open to take a drink.

A sigh of relief fell over the short silence as she finished the drink. “So now I'm getting possessed by a demon from hell? Shit never ends for me Rogue. Never. Maybe I should ask Dagger-Arms about it. No human as he looked would have blades protruding from his arms. Maybe he's a demon.” She stood up and headed to the door, opening it quickly and heading down the hall looking for Kuzuru.
