Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eric looked solemnly at Alex. "You know quite well what that thing is capable of. I can't let that happen again. Look at how badly you were beaten. All by my hand. Do it for the good of all of us Alex," he shed a single tear. " I don't want anyone to suffer anymore,"

Meanwhile, downstairs, yogtz addressed the gathering. "before Leo here tells us what happened, we need to figure out what to do with Eric now. We'll need a constant suicide watch on him. We cannot leave him alone for one second kupo. He's a danger to himself and others kupo,"

Cordinia sighed. "As much as I hate to admit it, the moogle is right. However, this does not prevent me from disagreeing. If he knows we're watching him he won't be able to heal thinking either we are or he is a burden. I say we leave him alone and only act when absolutely necessary,"

Eric sighed deeply. "I can only hold him back for so long before he beats me. Nobody will miss me anyway. They've moved on already. Even my father was determined to end my suffering with the sweet release of death. My part in this play is over. Now the second act must begin. The act of peace and happiness," he tried to hold back tears. "Just do it kid. I was nothing but a pawn to begin with,"

"Who does he still trust?" yogtz asked.

Eric sat up in his bed. "No Alex. I can't be a burden to anyone anymore. If you won't do it voluntarily," Eric grabbed one of his keychains and summoned his blade. "Than you will in self defense!" He said trying to stand up. His legs could hardly move, let alone support his frame. He collapsed and tried to use his keyblade like a cane. "Damn you body. Why can't you follow orders?"

Cordinia turned around and heard noise from Eric's room. "looks like we're a bit late," she said pulling a pair of gloves on and rushing toward the room.

Eric swatted Alex's hand away. "I don't need your pity you insolent whelp!" He said pointing his keyblade at Alex. Cordinia casually walked up to the room. He looked to Eric and then Alex.

"When did he start the murderous rampage?" she asked. Eric glared at cordinia.
"So you've betrayed me to coriander? Damn. Now I only have one person left to..." Eric was cut off by cordinia punching him in the stomach.
"Cut the emo crap would you? I really don't want to wash blood off these gloves again," she said rubbing her wrist. His abs have gone soft. They must not have a decent gym at that school. It's a shame really, she thought. Eric slowly stood back up. He pointed his blade at cordinia.
"I will gladly take on all of you at once. You, dad, hell, even Namine's family. You shall send me to..." Eric stammered before cordinia slapped him. She sighed.

"If fighting is the only way to get to you; then so be it. I hereby challenge you to combat. Outside, right now. Perhaps you'll realize how much we all care for you after I've given you a couple of shiners," she said walking down the stairs. She beckoned to Eric. "Whats the matter big boy? Afraid of your one and only superior?" she taunted. Eric grumbled and glared at Alex.
"I'll finish you off later you blonde whelp" Eric said darkly. The creature was trying to emerge again as dark spines when he stormed down the stairs, but it didn't take over again.

Cordinia glared at the nobody. "Personal business. It's none of your concern. Now please leave the premises. Unless you plan on watching," she smirked.

Cordinia sighed. "As noble as the offer is, I cannot accept it. I don't need help in this case," she said. "Im not a defenseless little girl,"

Cordinia nodded. "Thank you," as for him being friends with anyone at this point, I just don't know. Paranoia and what he believes to be betrayal are running rampant through his mind. Hopefully he'll come to his senses before he gets hurt to badly, she thought. Cordinia sighed. I really don't want to do this, but it's for the greater good. We can't have him going on a self pity rampage,

Eric saw the nobody move out of the way after letting the barrier down.
Friend of his twin? I've never met this guy or anyone who looks remotely like him in my life. If this is another betrayal I swear i'm going to lose it. I can't trust anyone but yogtz. Nobody at all, he thought looking at his hand.
