TOO LATE - CHAPTER 9

"Anyal ecnamor em" with those words Dave locks Carl inside of him, making it impossible for him to come out. He looks at himself in the mirror and changes his posture to Carls'. He softens his facial muscles and changes his clothes to a more loose fitting outfit.

"I'll fix it don't worry" He continues speaking to carl as he packs his clothes into the luggage, he then takes his phone out to call Izzie. "No" Carl speaks up in Daves' Head, "You have to get comfortable with me being around her Carl" Dave says while taking his luggage outside and recalling Izzie.

"Im outside" Dave stops for a brief moment fixing his tone and approach towards her, "okay sweedie" he responds but quickly stops himself, panicking he hangs up. "Thats the best response you had?" Carl says internally rolling his eyes "you're so pathetic".

---------------------------

Layna sits on her throne in a dark room searching through pictures of lana, behind her is Tia who is looking over her shoulders at the pictures. "She's smarter than you think, it won't be easy" she says as she leans on the throne.

Layna gets up and walks to a gold wardrobe where all her memories are, she takes one out and opens it on the wall for Tia to see. "Remember this?" she points at the memory on the wall. In the video there is Lana as a baby and layna as a toddler, Layna is lifted by Tia and placed into the crib with Lana.

"Quickly, lay down" Tia says to Layna in a hurried tone, Dave walks in the room and Tia is holding baby Lana in her arms. She walks out the room with her and Layna jumps out of Lana and runs out of the house.

Layna puts the memory back into the golden wardrobe and walks over to Tia. "You forced me to enter her Tia, do you know what you started by doing that?". Confused she looks at Layna for answers, "But that wasn't the first time you entered someone" Tia says walking up to her.

"I entered you through free will Tia, you forced me to enter Lana, now im bound to her for life why would you do that" A little smile grows on Tias' face, "You really think I care don't you" she walks towards the throne and sits on it. "I think your free time is up" She snaps her fingers and Layna immidiately gets pulled towards her she then opens a portal and pushes her into it.

---------------------------

Layna goes back in time where carl is in therapy with Aaron, she stands behind him listening to what they are saying. Aaron suddenly looks at her and his face is in complete shock as he notices her behind Carl, speechless he begins pointing at her as Carl looks in that direction seeing no one.

Layna then follows Carl home touching his eyes which makes Tia and Lana temporarily invisible to him, He walks and bumps into Lana without knowing and continues on his way, She then enters his body and answers the front door, She speaks to Tia through his body then slams the door.

She then begins crying because she notices that she's stuck in a loop that she cannot get out of, jumping out of Carl's body she erases everything from his memory and wakes him up in the real world.

---------------------------

Dave walks into Carls' room after getting out of Izzies' car, He's standing in front of the mirror talking to Carl. "I'm coming out now" Carl says as he appears in the mirror, "You can't do that just yet, I have one more things to do" Dave goes to Carls' draw and takes out a bottle of pills then goes to lock the door.

He's in front of the mirror once again looking at Carl, "Should we take it?" he holds up the bottle of olanzapine showing him. The door knob begins shaking as though someone is trying to open it. "It's propbably Iz, lets switch" Carl says waiting for Dave to switch with him.

"We cant switch everytime you hear her Carl, I know what I'm doing" Dave rolls his eyes and ignores Izzie at the door. "And what you're doing is irritating me SWITCH!" Carl begins pounding on the glass until cracks appear on it. Dave rocks his head back in frustration then places his hand on the mirror. The room makes a one eighty turn and Carl is in the room while Dave is in the mirror.

---------------------------

Ms.Gobin is sitting on Lanas' bed waiting for her to come home, She goes into her closet and notice all the clothes in there are adult female clothes. Very confused she also looks at the shoes at the side of the closet and it's for an adult.

She goes back to the bed trying to figure out why an eight year old has those clothes in her closet, "Why are you here" Lana says as she walks into her room. "I should be asking you the same thing, Isn't your mother in the spirit realm, and don't act stupid because I know you Know" Ms. Gobin says without wasting any time.

"Well that's none of my business and it shouldn't be any of yours either" Lana says as she folds her arms and watches her directly in her eyes. "Who are you?!" Ms. gobin studies her behaviour closely while asking. Lana turns into Layna in a split second "You have five seconds to get out of my site 5, 4, 3.." , Shocked Ms. Gobin gets up and walks to the door.

"Don't be too surprised the things you don't know about Aaron is more shocking that this, be careful" Layna says as she closes the door on Ms. Gobin. She then changes back into Lana and calls her father. "Dad where are you?" She says irritated, "I'm busy hunny, do you need me now?" He says as he gets into his car. "Yes! you won't believe what just happened, I don't feel safe", Dave starts his car and drives off "I'm coming".

---------------------------

Aaron is sitting at the doorstep of Daves' house waiting for him to arrive, In his hand is Laynas' necklace that was dug up by Carl. Behind him is Lana who has on a white long dress with a veil covering her face, Tears flow down her cheeks staining it with mascara.

Aaron touches her dress which turns her invincible to the naked eye, Dave pulls up at the house and quickly exits his car. "Took you long enough" Aaron says getting up from the step, Rage building up in Carl, without thinking he rushes out of Daves' body and begins choking Aaron.

Lana hesitates to stop him because she does not want to hurt him, "Anyal ecnamor em" Aaron quickly says it which knocks Carl back into Daves' body in the blink of an eye. Out of breath Aaron drops to the floor, Lana becomes visible and goes to help him.

Dave unfazed by it all holds her back from helping and points to the car indicating that she should go in, he then picks Aaron up by his neck and pins him to the wall. "Don't ever use my daughter as one of your puppets , the Dave you made years ago Isn't the Dave you see now, try me"

---------------------------

Ms. Gobin is watching Dave and Aaron through her bedroom window, She begins smiling widely as everything she planned is playing out right infront of her.

"Just one other thing to do and the deal will be sealed" She turns to Tia who is sitting on her bed texting Izzie *Got her right where I want her*. "They don't have a clue of what's ahead" Tia says as she joins Ms.Gobin by the window, She holds onto her hand and walks away, Freezing her in place.

Izzie then walks in and enters her body taking full control of it and following behind Tia, they walk outside approaching David and Aaron. Tia taps Dave on his back and goes into the passenger seat of the car, they drive off leaving Ms. Gobin and Aaron there.

"I got some information for you" she says as she walks towards him. Taking out an envelope out of her pocket she hands it to him "Open it when I'm gone" with the she turns and walks back to her house. He opens it and sees a letter from Izzie.

*Dear Aaron, I know everything about your creations a bit more than you think. I'll keep it a secret only if you agree to leave Carl out of your plans, otherwise I'll have to use what you gave me, or should I say, use what you taught me*
