It feels strange, being out like this. The moment that Violet put the pill to her lips she had let me know what was going on. She felt guilty, something that she normally didn't feel.
In retrospect I guess deep down Vi knew that she was kissing Drake back even though she didn't even realize it then, she knew it now and instead of risking her doing something else to hurt Eric, she'd popped that pill like it was nothing. Not even a second to think about it...because not only did that pill suppress her it also suppressed The third. Our Evil side so to speak. The one that Drake had this control over for some reason. It was a dangerous liability.
At first I had a fleeting moment of clarity. I was the only one in my head since before i could even remember, I mean if I truly think about it, Vi had always really been there.. just waiting for the perfect opportunity to get that first taste of control and then once she'd gotten out... I knew then that Violet was the strong one. Yes she had started out as my suppressed anger but now she was for sure our main personality. She was everything I wasn't. My complete opposite.
I mean I wasn't too pleased when I'd been brought back suddenly after her head injury to find myself decorated in tattoos and sporting a vibrant shade of red on my head. We're normally a strawberry blonde but this.. well this was rather extreme at least it was to me.
I'd learned things from Drake, from Vi's friends about who she was. What she was capable of and even more so, I learned how much Drake Hunter truly cared about Violet. I knew that Violet would never truly stop loving that sadistic bastard but what could I really do about that? I couldn't tell Eric that...it would break his heart. Violet was trying desperately to push that feeling aside, to really allow herself to let go with Eric. There was no doubt in my mind that she loved him but whether or not it would ever be equal to that intensity she had with Drake...well that i wasn't sure of. I loved neither of the two men.
No my tastes ran to the fairer side of the spectrum. I was in love with my 'babysitter' so to speak. Rachel. A woman that was hired by Drake to keep an eye on us. To keep us out of trouble. Little did I know that we'd end up falling for one another so quickly and hard. Lately though, I felt as though she was slipping away from me. When I'd called to tell her that I was being allowed a few days, she'd quickly made excuses for having work to do in Vegas and that she couldn't come out this time.
It sounded strange to me, like she was doing something she didn't want me to know about but being the trusting person I am, I simply told her I loved her and hung up the phone. Now I was alone in this hotel room. completely alone. There was no buzz in my head anymore reminding me of the two women that fought for dominance within me. that was gone. I only heard my own thoughts and it scared me. for the first time in a couple months I was scared that there was no one else in my head.
The other part was that Violet had a scheduled match on Sunday and I had no idea how long the effects of this drug she took would last. I might very well have to go out there and try to win it. I was rusty though. This body might be shared by me and Vi but I technically hadn't been in a ring in almost a year. could I do it? Do it for us...do it for the title we held and were so proud of... well I knew for sure that I was going to start training even though I had less than 72 hours to do it, I could at least do something to chase away these blues of being alone.
Saturday Evening:
I'd set up our phone to record me. sitting in front of it i give it an awkward smile. I didn't know if I could do this but I would certainly try.
"Hello. Some of you may know me but most of you don't. see this body...this face...it looks familiar to you. You know it as Violet, the current reigning Marquee champion. What some of you already know or maybe you don't believe it, I don't know nor do I care is that I have D.I.D. and with that comes the fact that there are three of us in here."
I tap my head
"And with there being there distinct people, we are technically each a different person. usually it would be violet in front of this camera and she'd have a thing or twenty to say about her match, her opponent and finally talking about how she deserved to be a champion. But I'm not Violet..."
I take a deep sigh.
"No. I am Makayla Cooper. I don't know if I'll be the one in that ring on Sunday or not but I do know this... it doesn't matter which one of us you end up facing. We are all the same in one thing and that's Winning."
I stretch my neck, feeling a kink from holding it in one position too long
"When I go out to that ring i go to win. It's nothing against you Kate. It has always been imbedded in my soul to win at everything I do. My father taught us to never give up, never to let anybody have anything to hold over us. I still take to that advice. You can say whatever you want about Violet, about The Third even about me. I'm sure lots of people love to poke fun at our disorder. To claim that it's all fake and well you'd have to be a pretty good actress to fake a sincere disability like that.. I have nothing but respect for you and all you've accomplished. I know Violet would kill me for saying this but you earned your shot for the world title. You rode it to the top and you took that SOB and made it yours and so far you've defended it against every one that's tried. I know Violet wants that title too and even though she successfully defended it already, she wants to go on to bigger and better. This match... oh this match is only going to be a precursor to the day when Violet can walk into a ring and take it from you. I'd like to say it would be me but frankly I have no idea how long this well last or if Violet will ever think about taking that drug at all"
I smile at camera
"So I won't keep you long Kate. I just want you to know that no matter who you end up with out there, we're both going to make sure that we come out victorious. I respect you enough to not give it to you easy. I want you to help me prove why you and me are the best . But at the end, it will be us walking out knowing we beat the LAW world champ. knowing that we earned no only this but also that it technically would make us #1 contender. You want some decent competition.. you're looking at her. This match is only a practise run. I guess we'll just see how it gone won't we?"
I smile before hitting the button and I feel a twinge in my head. It's Vi. Thank god. I really did miss that bitch....
