“It’s not as much fun if they don’t catch us. I want betrayal, rage, not just confusion,” Summer muttered, sulkily. “She let me in because she was tired of control. Tired of hiding, of being afraid, of not taking risks. I’m hardly having to fight her at all.” A truly ugly smile curved her mouth. “We’re a unit, unlike you and your fragile human.”

“Fine then, get yourself some recognition.  I’m going to stick to the main plan.  Me and my mate have decided exactly how this is going to go down. They already know who he resides in, but I’m going to lay dormant for just a little while longer.  And then, when we’re ready, betrayal will come swift.”  The Nogitsune played with the edges of her nails.

“If you’ve already decided how it will go, what do you need me for?” She tapped her fingers, straight and stiff, on the steering wheel to a beat only she could hear. “Or were you planning to use us for cannon fodder? Betray us too? You didn’t even bother to find out what this one could do on her own, did you? And now I’m in control, and she cooperates. What’s to stop me betraying you?”

“What,” Summer inquired, “makes you think I could be kept in jail, even assuming they got me that far?” She turned the car sharply, cutting across the turn just under the red light. “But fine. We’ll do it your way. This time.” Another flickering glance, green eyes sharp, and she added, “If you plan to keep spreading us among the humans, you might want to check that the ones you choose are actually human.”

“Maybe they can’t but that’s not the point.  Not getting caught is the main objective here.”  The Nogitsune cast a side glance over at the other girl and shook her head.  “Well, I’m glad you’ve decided to see the light.  And anyway, the ones who are not so human have a little more power.  I had hoped it would also mean more self control.”

The little car purred to life under Summer’s expert touch. “Oh no no, that’s not how this is going to work. I want that personal betrayal. If you want me to do this,” her voice dropped, harsh and demanding instead of sweetly cruel, “you’re going to have to give me someone you know. After all, there’s no one here for me.” Green eyes glinted under the passing streetlights as she gave the brunette a sidelong glance. “Did you really think you were going to control me once you let me in?”

“That,” the girl said icily, “is not part of the plan quite yet.”  She slightly regretted showing this one how to make the turn.  Summer was going to have to learn how to control her impulses.  “If you want to stay secret and not get caught, you need to follow my lead.  Because I’m not going to save your ass if you end up in jail.”

“What,” Summer inquired, “makes you think I could be kept in jail, even assuming they got me that far?” She turned the car sharply, cutting across the turn just under the red light. “But fine.

Summer dangled her keys from one finger. “I’m driving. I want to go inside. All that pain, all that anguish — I need to /touch/ it. I need to see their eyes when they realise I’m their destruction.” She opened the car door and slung herself inside. “What flourishes would you like to add? Who should we go find?”

A glint of dark amusement appeared in the huntress’s eyes.  ”That sounds absolutely perfect,” the girl purred, an evil smile working its way across her lips.  ”No one specific.  Let’s just wreak some havoc.” The not-Allison laughed as she slid into the car.

Summer’s smile matched Allison’s. “Go big or go home. Let’s burn down the hospital. There’s people you know there, right? I like the way that personal betrayal tastes.”

“I like the way you think,” Allison smirked and flipped her hair back over her shoulder.  “Let’s go cause some problems.”

It was like having ice run through her veins, something sliding around her mind, quiet and cool. “Oh, god.” Her voice was ragged with relief. “That’s so much better.” She splayed her fingers, looking at her hands, then back up at Allison. “Where do we start?”

“I’m so glad you think so.”  Now that the girl was being controlled by her shadow-self there was no need to pretend anymore.  Everything was set and perfect.  “Give me your best ideas.  I’m all ears.”

“Depends what result we want. Mass chaos? Heartbreak city? Death and destruction?” Summer looked down at her hands again, then lifted one finger and lit the end of it. “You did know what I could do, right? Personally, I kinda want to set some fires.”

“All of them sound too good to waste. But the fire idea, I like that one a lot.” An evil grin spread across the huntress’ lips. Now that she had a partner in crime, things were going to be so much more fun.

Summer’s smile matched Allison’s. “Go big or go home. Let’s burn down the hospital. There’s people you know there, right? I like the way that personal betrayal tastes.”

Summer closed her eyes, heart pounding. “Please,” she whispered. “Make it stop. I’m ready, please.”

As soon as she said the words, a dark chuckle escaped Allison’s lips.  The change in the girl was almost immediate.  As the Darkness took over, Summer’s face took on a more sinister expression and there was a glint in the redhead’s eyes that matched Allison’s.  The girl’s body was more alert.  ”Well, well then.  Welcome to the club.  And how do you feel now?  Better?”

“It seems too easy … “

“I don’t know /how/.”

“That’s the point of it.  If it wasn’t easy, no one would ever give in to it.”

“Just close your eyes and say, ‘I’m ready.’  You’ll know when it hits you.”

Summer closed her eyes, heart pounding. “Please,” she whispered. “Make it stop. I’m ready, please.”
