She'd finally gone and done it. Freya had snapped, hadn't she? She was looking at herself, a perfect mirror image, but there was no mirror to reflect it. She stared into narrowed, vacant eyes, and saw every last shred of hurt that her experience at the hands of the hunters had caused. All of her repressed suffering came clawing back to the surface through those eyes, and she pulled away, refusing to look at them.
"Yeh don't has teh be this way." She told herself. The other her, the perfect looking minipet, scoffed and remained silent. "Yeh can puts it all away again. We can forget everythings that happened here, and go be happy. Nobody needs teh knows what's inside of us, Freya."
Those eyes continued to glare.
"Nobody needs teh know how broken we still are." HP: 18/20

The sound of her own voice made her sick to her stomach. "Do ourselves a favor, and shuts up." Freya huffed, fluffing up her feathers and stalking forward. "All yeh ever does is runs and hides from teh pain. Yeh knows what? I'm sick of it. I'm not runnings anymore." Freya glowed just slightly, and reared her head back as she prepared to strike. "Yehr the only things standing in my way. Now I comes teh takes my shards and fights back. And yehr not goings teh stops me!" Her beak started pecking mercilously at the other Freya, plucking feathers and skin indiscriminately. She wasn't going to hide anymore. She was going to fight, and her fight started right now.Damage: 7 Quote:  Freya Brynhildr Faction: Amityville Element: Light HP: 18/20 Location: THE VOID Keys Acquired: Blood Key!

It was her fault. All that pain she saw in those eyes were her fault. If she'd just reached out and talked to someone, if she'd just dealt with her anger instead of pushing it all away, none of this would have ever happened. She wouldn't be staring down at herself, preparing to fight for whatever she considered life. That, too, was her, in front of her. And she considered herself life.
So which one of them was the real Freya, after all? Would the victor determine who deserved to call themselves real?
Or was she about to kill herself, and live in her own selves place?
She saw the other Freya rear up and prepare to strike, and all of those weird psychological questions that boggled her mind flew right out the window. None of that mattered anymore - there was only one thing left to do.
Survive.
Freya reared up and returned the beaked assault, destroying all the parts of her that she once considered beautiful. HP: 11/20
Damage: 9

Survive.Was that really all she'd ever done? Hadn't she ever tried to live? To thrive? All her other self wanted was to make it through this place - to get out of here. But all she wanted was to take what she was owed. And the shards offered her that. The shards sang to her, beckoning her to win the battle and be done with this trash. To gain power and protect those she loved. To live. To thrive. She would be the one putting her enemies in cages, by the time she was through. Not the other way around. The thought filled her with glorious purpose, and she struck out accordingly, aiming her beak into the creatures chest. She hoped she would taste the blood from her heart, soon.

Freya felt the beak sink into her soft chest, and she let out a strangled cry as the pain shuddered through her. She fell back, her little avian body sliding in it's own blood until she came to a stop. She was half-covered by her own wing like a blanket, hiding the pooling blood as it left her.
She felt cold.
"Yeh don't knows what yehr becoming." Freya whispered out to her victorious counterpart, as she preened nearby, clucking her beak and chirping. "Yeh needs to get out of here. Yehr losing yehr mind.."
A soft light fluttered around her body, and then covered her like another blanket. Underneath her feathered wing, the wound closed up slowly, no longer leaking blood.
"If yeh don't stops this, yeh'll never be able to goes back." She pleaded with her other self. "Please, Freya." Her eyes closed and her voice broke with emotion. "Don't let this becomes who yeh are."

Freya was positively beaming. She bent her head in under her feathers, to check and make sure her shards were safely concealed and tucked in neatly, before hopping over to the fallen bird and putting one taloned claw on her face. "I know what yehr tryings teh do." Freya's eyes burned with an intensity that she was never meant to hold. "Yeh just wants these shards, don't yeh?" She was burning up inside, and it felt wonderful. Even she knew she was losing herself, bit by bit, but the power was addicting, and she fed it bits of her soul to keep it growing. "Well yeh can't has them." She hissed, bending her long neck down to be beak to beak with her other self. "They're mine. They're ALL MINE NOW. Herryk's mine. Hel's mine. Kajika's mine. And I'm not goings teh be weak like yeh were. I'm goings teh fight for them. And these things, they will gives me the power teh win." "So do us both a favor." Her head straightened upward, and her claw bit down on Freya's face as she stomped on her last word. "Hurry up and DIE."

She had no intention of dying, just yet. She'd already chosen to survive, and she knew in the end only one could live - it was her, or her counterpart.
Freya chose herself.
The other Freya hadn't expected her to be healed. She was sure that the blow would have been fatal. But as she pushed the clawed talon off her face and fluttered back up to her feet, the other Freya stared, enraged, at the healed wound.
"I don't feels like dyings today." She admittedly coldly. "Maybe yeh can tries it."
And, learning from the best, Freya plunged her beak into her counterpart's chest, hoping to pierce the heart within.

The screech was a perfect match for the sound her doppleganger had made, when she'd pierced her chest. Freya fell to the ground, and a perfect match to the pool of blood nearby started to form. But two could play the same game, and she knew full well that anything the dopple could do.. she could do better. The soft glow hovered over Freya's avian form for a moment, before settling upon her. The beak puncture puckered closed, and the pain ebbed away. Soon enough, she felt like herself again- No, the truth was, she hadn't felt like herself since she'd gotten here. She felt like someone she'd hidden far, far away until now. And she was determined to keep her. By any means. Freya's beak opened, just slightly. "We could play this game all day, if yeh wants." She hissed, hobbling closer, feigning weakness. "But yeh knows I'm the real Freya. Yeh knows yehr nothing but a shade of me. Something that likes teh hides in the back of my mind, keepings the bad thoughts out." Freya's eyes flickered down the other bird's body for a moment, and she snorted. "Yeh'll be nothings but a bad dream, when all this is over. A bad, fat, dream."

The other Freya had taken on a cruel streak. Freya took a step back when she insulted her weight, and furrowed her brow. She didn't need to remember that. She didn't need to think about any of it. She'd promised herself.. she'd PROMISED.
Freya pushed it all back and focused on the task at hand, but her moves were more erratic, now. The other Freya had cut her deep, in a place where no amount of healing would soothe. And in her eyes, it showed.
"Yeh've lost it." Freya whispered sadly. "There's no hopes for yeh, now."
But, she couldn't help but wonder if she was saying that to the Freya she fought, or the Freya she fought to save. The lines were blurring too far now, and there was nothing left to hold on to but that one, blazing need.
Survive.

The fight became a massive tangle of feathers and claws, destruction and chaos, cries and screams. Feathers were flying everywhere, floating around them as they plucked each other clean, until finally one - there was no telling which - pushed the other one away with it's clawed feet and used the leverage to fling herself far back, too. They both sat there on their hindquarters, panting as they caught their breath. Freya broke the silence first, and the maniacal look on her eye made it obvious which version she was. "Yeh would have killed me by now if yeh weren't so fat and ugly. Yeh knows that, don'tchyeh? He was right, yeh knows. Yeh couldn't kill a single one of them if yeh tried." She let out a cruel cackle, and struggled back up to her feet, hovering over her doppleganger and raising her talons. The sharp claws raked across Freya's underbelly, leaving a long, and very familiar scar across her stomach. "Remember that?" She hissed, leaning up closer to her doppleganger. "Remember how weak yeh were then? That's all yeh are now, yeh dirty b***h." Her tongue slithered out of her beak as she whispered those last few words. "Stupid, fat, and weak. That's how they'll remember yeh, Freya. That's all yeh'll ever be." Damage: 7Quote: Freya Brynhildr Faction: Amityville Element: Light HP: 7/20 Location: THE VOID Keys Acquired: Blood Key!

The blood that stained her underbelly soaked into her feathers, turning them red and swollen. She brushed her wing down under the wound, and then covered it, clutching her stomach just as she always did when the memories threatened to resurface. But now, they weren't threatening - they were here, and she was facing them.
For once.
"I am not. WEAK." Freya yelled out with a strangled cry, and her beak pierced through her counterparts heart.
This time, she felt the break of muscle, and the pump of blood as she punctured her heart. This time, she knew she'd won.
And lost.
As her counterpart dissipated, a scene played itself in front of Freya. It was hard to see it, her eyes were always threatening to close, but she caught a glimpse before it was too late. Now, all she wanted to do was sleep. Sleep, and forget. Just as she had once before.
