Keep That Smile Up, ok? Part 2 (The Stringless Puppet of The Void)

Faded Love

-"Shadow"! Found you! Stella went to hug the shadow girl that looked down.
-Hello, Stella.. She said
-You... You don't look very well, is something wrong? The little girl asked somewhat worried
-I was just thinking... What if the desire personalities get separated from the soulworkers' bodies like they did before.... After everything that happened, this became a possibility, we could wake up with them, at any moment... ("I also haven't seen the old man in such a long time.... Where is he? I think he must be planning something, I haven't felt his presence since....[...]). The Shadow said
-Oof right... Last time Desire Haru almost defeated all 8 of us and she is just 1, her strength is... Way bigger than ours... I hope she won't do it again next time... Stella told
-Anything is possible at this point... We might even see Kent someday... At least you guys we'll see him, I don't know if I'll have that chance... After my betrayal, I'm very sure he wishes for only my demise.. "Shadow" sighed, her look wasn't... Really happy.
-As long as we stand up for each other, I believe everything's gonna be okay... We'll find away to solve all this, even if it takes ages to... I won't give up! Stella gave a grin to make her feel better, but it didn't rise any spirits.
-I suppose... I just wonder where the Old Man is right now... She looked away

Somewhere in a black void....

Desire Haru's POV

And now what? I'm back in here, in this nowhere, she took my body again.... Will I be here forever? Alone?
Agh... If only... That darned void never existed, I would still be here with you... Mom.. If this thing never existed, I'll still be with you, I would've cured your sickness by now... I would've celebrated thousands of anniversaries by now... But most importantly.. I would have you here with me....
Maybe that stupid Erwin wasn't even that bad, at least I had someone to keep me company, he did so much for me, even if in the end he joined Kent... At least he truly loved me.... I wish... I wish I wasn't alone like I am right now... What am I supposed to do? This place is full of nothingness, all that I have is loneliness, this thing messes with my senses...
I placed both of my hands on my head and grabbed my hair... I feel like I'm going crazy... Isn't that what I am...?
*tap tap tap*
W-What?? Foot steps?! I have never heard those in here...! Something is wrong... Someone somehow got in my body! I hope it's not that cheap copy though... I sighed

Author's POV

Desire Haru got up from the ground, where she sat hiding her head with her legs. She went to check in the infinite space, for someone that invaded her place... But there was... Nobody..?
But then she saw a figure of a man, rather tall... But his look didn't please her at all.
-That shadow walker I created wasn't good enough... She betrayed me... But I found another way to get to you, my creation. Kent smiled, he looked like a psycho, well he was one, but his look fitted it.
-Y-You!! What are YOU doing here??! Do you really like stepping on my nerves?!!
-Hey... Listen first. He laughed a little with a psychotic smile.
-What's so funny now?!! Do you really find it funny to see people suffer?!?? WHEN WILL ALL YOUR SADISTIC GARBAGE DISAPPEAR?!! Desire Haru yelled, she burned in rage, the hate she had for this man was huge. She wished for only his demise. She just wants him dead, that's all.
-When you have this much power, Haru, the world doesn't feel like before, it is meaningless to you, this humans are just little puppets, all they do is entertain you, they're just a piece of entertainment. For you, it doesn't matter what happens to them, you who has this much power can do so much!! Almost anything! Don't you get it?! THIS world was made just to entertain gods!! He laughed even more, this guy really wasn't sane at all and you could tell, his creepy smile, all that he did... Said so much about him...

-I hate you so much. Desire Haru said without hesitating

-You can hate me as much as you want, it doesn't matter to me, 'cause I have a little surprise for you.
Kent opened a device that seemed to show images outside Haru's body, that meant, "the real world", in Grace City, there was Desire Erwin, his eyes didn' t have the same green with some red dots, now, they were completely red.

-Erwin..? What's with.. Him? Desire Haru looked somehow shocked at what she saw, why did Erwin have red eyes? And why he had a blood stain on his face?

-Hehe... After you parted aways, I helped him find true pleasure again, he now finds pleasure in killing other worthless creatures, humans, souldregs etc... Can't you see how happy he is?! I made him happy! I can help you too, Haru! Just lend me your hand... Kent offered his hand to her and smiled, this smile wasn't as psychotic, but it still made Haru feel uncomfortable.
-How... How did you... Wasn't he...
-Inside Erwin's body? Yes he was, but now I made a new vessel for him using my powers, it was quite exhausting, but worth it, my second best creation made it far, haha.. Kent said
-Erwin...
-You can be with him, it's not too late, just join me, Haru, I'll help you find true happiness, Erwin will be there for you too. Kent looked at her
-No.
-Hm? Kent looked shocked
-I won't let you control me like I'm your little puppet, I don't like what you did to him either.
-I thought you hated each other... At least he told me you hate him. Kent explained
-He... Told you that...?? Desire Haru looked surprised, she never thought...
-Yes and I'm not lying, you'll see when you'll meet him face 2 face. He said
-I...
-Well from what I saw, he actually liked you before, he even cut his own arm for you, can you believe how crazy he was? He was head over heels for you, if you ask me. I actually thought you two would last longer, what a shame you parted aways... Kent looked disappointed
-I... I'LL KILL YOU!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIM?! Haru slashed in his direction, but he dodged.
-Hehe, you are so much fun, I won't kill you hehehe, I'll teleport you to the "surface", I hope you'll make me just as proud as before.
-YOU, YOU, YOU!! I-
But before she could reach him, she woke up in Grace City.
-... What? Ugh... The brat brought me here, huh? I'm back to this "Grace City", last time I was here I remember I ate a sandwich with that cheap copy of mine... Erwin... Where are you now..? She sounded like she was about to cry, she felt hopeless in this world, she lost everything, the only thing she had left, was the revenge that burned inside her... They all call her a monster, but no one looked behind her actions, besides Desire Erwin that now she had lost... She has nowhere to go, no home, no nothing.
She just wished she reconciled with Erwin a long time ago, maybe if she did, none of this would've happened....
Even when they last saw each other, he didn't seem to care much about her, their connection slowly faded.
But she'll get revenge for both him and her mother, the most important people in her life.... The only people in her life....

At least they were in her life
