"You can't escape from me..."

I am floating in the abyss. I've been here for so long, locked in a cage of glass, deep in his soul. He can see me, hear me, feel me, but this prison prevents me from getting out. He denies me control... the right to exist... I am his Beast as he calls me. A name destined to separate this part of him, to caulk me like a vulgar monster...

"But you know very well that I am not one... I'm the part of you that has decided not to be a weakling any more. This shape that you refuse to fully embrace. I am your anger, your determination, your violence, your justice!"

I giggle slightly at his pathetic attempts to keep me away from him. We are one. He can't repel who he is.

"It's you who created me. All the evil you watched while you were looking out of your windows. Those who kill en masse for their so-called freedom. Those who invoke higher powers to spill the blood of unbelievers and gain access to their paradise. Those who do nothing and complain about things they don't even conceive of. Ignorance. Despair. Fear. Doubt. Suffering. All of this feeds me more and more. The further you go, the stronger I get. But why do you refuse to accept me?"

I can feel the fury rising inside me. I clench my fists until I tint the water of his soul with my blood. Is he scared of me?

"Tell me... Why?!"

I rush against a wall and hit it with all my rage! I punch again and again. I can feel it giving way, cracking with each of my blows. I feel his pain. Deep down he wants to call on me...

"Stop rejecting me! You can't lock me up forever!"

I try to smash the glass with my hands and my head until they bleed. I roar my wrath!

"I can help you where no one else will! Only I can get you out of this dead end! Give me control and I will punish everyone who hurts you! I will drink the blood of the unjust! I will destroy this world to save it and establish that utopia you so desire! Just say the word!"

Suddenly, chains wrap around me and pull me violently to the centre of the cage. They keep me perfectly still. My rage is strong. I roar even more. I struggle but the ties are strong. They hold me tight to the point of mutilating my flesh. The metal burns me. But after a while, I finally calm down. A supernatural slumber overwhelms me and I slowly start to fall asleep...

"Your good feelings, people you call friends, ... You know very well that this is just an illusion. Their help is only an extension of your torment."

I sigh as my eyes close.

"They can put me to sleep but my arrival is inevitable... I'll wait until I'm all you have left. That day will come. And when it will, I’ll embrace you with all my love... with all my strength... and we will make them all pay!"

A dark mist invades me...

I'll wait...
