Ariel looked at the hand clutching hers before sighing. "You....I think you have a demon inside you. Kinda like a split personality. Basically, when she comes out, you get pushed back into your mind. I think the bedroom is where you stay until you take control again."

Finishing up cleaning her, Ariel took the bloodied cloth and carefully deposited it in the trash can. It would only cause problems if her parents saw a random cloth with dried blood sitting around. That would cause unneeded attention.

Going back to Zendra, Ariel leaned over the girl and rested her head over Zendra's abdomen. "We made a pact. Or something like that. Basically that....other you is here to stay. Saying that she was here for you before. That she was closer.....and that you apparently released her when you saved me."

The angel's eyes became heavy, eventually closing shut. "How.....how am I supposed to protect you from yourself? Sorry....that I caused this," she murmured before drifting off to sleep.

Unfortunately, she was right on top on Zendra, causing more problems. What if her parents walked in and saw this? What would they think?
