Well I can't lie. But he did say something that I agree with, that my pride won't allow me to be wrong. However, I don't agree with the lengths of which they described my pride, especially when I continually work against it. But they act like I can't accept anything other than what I already thought, when it's the total opposite. I can't stand being wrong, so I want to reach a point where I'm right, and it strengthens the idea that whatever we've discussed is true when we agree on it. I just don't know where to go, because I can't keep myself from saying something; but that's just in regards to future situations. I don't know how to handle this tomorrow.

I only lie when I want it over with, because I can't stand the thought that he thinks so lowly of me. But tomorrow? Are they still upset about it?

You wanting to convince me makes me think it'll hurt you much more than it'll hurt me.

It'll hurt me if I have to kill you. But I am more than willing to do what needs to be done to keep you from hurting everyone else.

Ugh. Part of the thing is that they don't really have anything to do to punish me, so it makes me feel worse. I'm even taller than my dad, so poking my chest with his finger doesn't really accomplish much, and I feel terrible. But they have no idea that I feel terrible about it, which makes them think I don't care, which makes me feel even worse. And my goal of any discussion/argument is to reach a conclusion or truth at the end, and I recognize that the best course of action would be to shut up, but I can't do that. Whether it be my nature, personality, or whatever, something makes me keep talking when something they said is invalid, and then the situation gets even worse. I don't even know if an apology would mean anything.

I literally had to train myself to shut up. When my dad believes I did something, and I didn't, and I tell him the truth, he refuses to believe me. So whem shutting up isn't an option, the est thing for me to do is lie to him saying I did it because he won't listen unless it's what he wants to hear. But I have the impulse to do what you do every waking second of my life, but my impulse to do what's best in th end is greater.

*Shrugs*A memory refresher never hurts. Anyway, the closer I am to the hate, the stronger I get. If I just fed off of all hate there is, you would still be alive.

You're just as close to him as you would be if he's in control. I've thought this through. Think about my offer.

I dunno. It all started when my mom wouldn't listen to me. Humans are such creatures of emotions, and I think that's the reason why my mom and I conflict with each other so much. Because while I can be emotional, I definitely don't let emotions rule me like she does. Just now, she called me the most arrogant person she knew, and I responded with "I doubt you actually think that. Psychology shows that things you say when angry or upset are far from what you actually mean." (This was exactly my response, give or take a word or two) and then she goes "Fine, too five, no contest." I can get along with my dad better when it comes to arguments because he's willing to "play along" as he puts it for a while, so at least there's some intelligent discussion, but because he's more prone to anger than I am, when he gets angry, he really gets angry. My biggest issue is that I apparently inadvertently disrespect them. I say things without getting into emotions (honestly because (as they put it) I want to be treated as an equal, which I don't really argue with), but I literally have no other way to talk with them. I just can't sit there and let any information be incorrect, but if I try go reach a conclusion of any sort or any kind of truth, they pin it as arguments and disrespect. I just don't know what else I can say.

Bro, if you want to go into detail on any of that with anyone, I'm here. I understand, because that coupled with ridiculous punishments has dominated my life since my parents got married.

*Laughs*And are the two very different? At the very least, I'm sure someone hates him.

Yes. And it wouldn't be to your benefit at all, because any hate people have for him would already be making you more powerful anyways.

Oh but Ridge, my dear. *Moves like a snake around you*I can feel that Malestrom of yours will generate quite a lot of hate for me.

Maelstrom? He hates nobody. Just loves violence, especially killing.

Ugh, parents.

What's with all the friction lately?

So let's see. You use that, kill me, kill everyone else here, and then get stopped before killing anyone else. Great thinking.

False again. Kill you, get stopped before killing anyone else.

Hahahaha!!! Then it looks like I have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. Look at it like this: you let him loose, he kills everyone, and on the off chance that he's able to kill me, I'll just be brought back through the Dark Power. So it's really not in your best interest.

False. There's one person who knows how to stop him. His name is Rythian, and not only is he my brother, but he is his weakness. All I would have to do is contact him. That is, if Vex hasn't already.
