Struggle for power

The man sighed. "But this was a disappointment. And here I thought you'd be strong like your old man." He sighed again. "Perhaps killing your family might be a trigger for you to escape the boundaries of flesh?" He scowled. He wasn't joking.

"What?" My cold blood boiled. 

He turned around, bemused, and walked towards the unconscious woman.

I knew I was outclassed but that didn't mean I could just let him have his way. 

'DO YOU WANT POWER?'

I heard a voice, I heard the voice of that shadow.

I didn't respond. I already knew it was trying to take over. 

My mind was unstable and I was sick.

'I CAN LEND YOU SOME!' A chuckling sound reverberated in my mind. 

It was using this whole situation as a means to take over. 

"Shut up!" My head throbbed painfully. The world around me spun.
