Marathon

@@Gloomfury, Lila could hear Shivty telling her not to give in, and Torn glaring at her with her horn pointing at her. Lila looked around nervously for anything she could use to her advantage while taking back her control. Sooner or later Torn had to be put in her place. "No. I won't do it anymore!" Torn grinned. "Foolish." her horn lit up and sent a gout of flame towards Lila, who quickly dodged it. Lila then collapsed the bubble completely before rebuilding a smaller one around her, making it stronger. Torn let out a low growl and came up to the edge of the bubble, lifting her hoof and tapped it. The bubble cracked but soon reformed, showing how weak Lila had become mentally. Again Torn tapped the bubble, harder this time and the bubble shattered on a small portion. "Okay!" Lila shouted, cowering in the back of the bubble. "Y-you win... please, just stop." "But I'm not even close to finished." Torn said evil-y as she smashed the rest of the bubble. (annd cliff hangar, not over)

@@Gloomfury, Torn stepped closer to Lila, glaring at her. 'And what do you think you're doing?' she growled. Lila backed away. "N-nothing..." "It doesn't look like nothing" "It's supposed to help me relax... that's it!" Torn charged her horn, preped to attack. "Oh, really? Well then, if you're going to do this then I'm going to be here too. Do I make myself clear?" Lila looked down at the floor. "Y-yes..." "Now give me control." Lila looked up in shock. "Wha-" "Give it to me or else." Lila hesitated a moment, wondering if she could kick Torn out but didn't want to take the chance of angering her any more. She slowly gave control over to Torn. (During the whole conversation Shivty would be able to hear both of them)

@@Gloomfury, Again Lila felt the bubble get weaker and it tightened around her, becoming smaller and smaller. She tensed again, becoming scared and lit her horn to try and push it outward, but it kept collapsing in on her. It kept getting smaller and smaller until there was just enough room to lay down, which Lila did. Right as she thought it was about to crush her it expanded again and the pressure that forced the bubble down gone. Outside Lila's mind she was turning in Shivty's lap, her expression pained, and then relaxed. In her mind, again, she stood up confused before sensing another. She turned and saw Torn inside her bubble, looking rather angry. "T-Torn..." she said in her mind, and also spoke out loud at the same time.

@@Gloomfury, Lila closes her eyes, enjoying the feeling of being massaged. She took deep breaths and again imagined the protective bubble. Lila could sense something outside it, watching her from beyond it but ignored it, focusing on strengthening her bubble. Just as she thought she had it as strong as she could make it she felt it weaken for some reason and she tensed a little but went to making it stronger again.

@@Gloomfury, Lila takes the water and drinks it down. Her head was starting to buzz again from Torn messing with her, probably angry about the meditation thing. Lila looks at Shivty her lets out a long sigh. "Okay, I think I'm ready.." she said hoping that Torn wouldn't attack her afterward.

@@Gloomfury, Lila coughed a little as finished throwing up, the back rubs helping to calm her. She could also feel Torn's presence again, much stronger than it usually is. 'Please leave me alone right now, Torn.' she said to her as she held back another round of puking. Lila waited for Shivty to come back, getting scared as Torn's presence became stronger.

@@Gloomfury, Lila listened to Shivty carefully, listening to what was going in her mind at the same time. She then momentarily went back to Shivty's explanation and description of what would happen to Torn... or anyone else. Her stomach churned at the thoughts alone and felt sick. Lila quickly got up and ran to the bathroom, found a toilet and threw up into it.

@@Gloomfury, Again Lila did as she was told, imagining a bubble around her, protecting her. She felt calmer than she had been and more relaxed, but the thing trying to get her attention was still nagging her. In her mind she made the bubble stronger until she felt safe from anything mentally.

@@Gloomfury, Lila did as Shivty said, clearing her mind of any thoughts and didn't think about anything. She thought only of quietness, being alone, but something tugged for her attention at the back of her mind and couldn't quite place a hoof on it and went back to clearing her mind.

@@Gloomfury, "M-Meditation?" Lila asked nervously. "I guess.... could we try that right now? I'm kind of curious actually." she said laying on her back and laying her head in Shivty's lap, looking up at her. "I just hope Torn doesn't disapprove of it and it actually works." she said worriedly.

@@Gloomfury, Lila smiled and enjoyed the feeling of her mane being stroked. Sure Shivty could phyisically deal with Torn, but that wouldn't stop Torn from attacking her and making her life miserable. "Thanks.... but what about me. You being around makes her mad and eventually Torn;s going to snap and I'm the one who's going to have to deal with it.

@@Gloomfury, "Do you not get it? No matter what you or I do it's only going to make Torn attack me, unless she's on one of her rare moods where she won't. It's pointless! At this point I'm pretty much the other half." Lila looked down at the floor. "I should just go, you and Bay bother deserve someone better than me."

@@Gloomfury, Lila let out a short sigh and began to stroke Shivty's mane. "I've always been the weak one out of us two. Torn compensates for that but not always in an enjoyable way. As bad as she is I think she's a blessing of some sort, even if she does mistreat me and those who I care about all the time. I don't think she actually means to do it though. If she would calm down I'd let her out."

Lila hugged Shivty and nuzzled her neck. "Beating her up is only going to hurt me more in the end anyhow. She knows how to get around stuff." she said as she sat down with Shivty. "And... when you said she cant do whatever she wants because she's in my head... well... that's actually not true. I can't fight her off no matter how hard I try. She basically has free reign in my head. As far for being bi pollar, yeah, she is."

Lila let Shivty kiss her for a moment before pulling away. She looked down at the floor with a saddened expression. "Well.... believe it or not, she's not always like this." Lila began quietly. "Sometimes she actually is caring, but those moments come few and far between and only last a few days where as this could last for weeks or months."

Lila let out a sigh of relief when she felt the embrace of her marefriend. She quickly hugged Shivty back, holding back the tears that still threatened to spill. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean what I said, I still want you two." She said as she pulled back then kissed Shivty. "You know Torn's not going to stop... right...."

Lila stumbles when Shivty pushed her away, almost falling to the ground. She glared at Shivty for a moment before rushing back over to her, getting in her path. "Why won't you look at me?" Lila demanded with tears in her eyes. She could hear Torn laughing in the background but ignored her. "Please, look at me..."

Lila watched as Shivty stood up and noticed the very sour mood she was in. Lila opened her mouth to talk but was cut off when Shivty grabbed her chin, after which Lila shut her eyes in fear of what Shivty would do. After aMoment an nothig happened except for the harsh release of her chin and Shivty going to get the first aid kit, Lila rushed over to Shivty, hugging her. "Shivty, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset Bay like that! Please don't be mad at me because I really need your help!" she begged, nuzzling Shivty's neck to show how sorry she was.

Torn continued to taunt Lila, torturing her mind with visions until Lila scream at her begging to stop whichgot a chuckle from Torn. 'Dear Lila, the only way I'm stopping is if you allow me control whenever I want. Also, if I ask you to do something you'll do it. Do I make myself clear?' Lila quickly agreed, whimpering and cowering on the bed. 'Good girl. Now I want you to go downstairs and find that rat you fell in love with.' 'Why?' 'So that I can be rid of her.' 'N-No.' 'Do I need to...' 'No! I-I'll go...' 'Good girl.' Lila shakily got up from the bed and went to the door, walking out and trotting down the stairs. Lila stopped at the kitchen door and saw Bayonet passed out on the floor. "Bay..." 'Walk.' Lila hesitantly stepped forward towards Bayonet, not sure what Torn had planned.

(@@Gloomfury, >.< I feel horrible for doing that now) Lila watched Bayonet walk out the door and down the stairs before slamming the door shut and jumping onto her bed in frustration. She then kicked the pillow off before setting it alight. In seconds the pillow was a pile of smoldering ash and smoke filled the room. 'Aww, what's the matter Lila?' 'Torn, shut up.' 'Someone's mad. I wonder why. I bet you broke up with her, didn't you?' 'I said shut UP!' Lila then tried to push Torn into the back of her mind, she always had been able too. 'Still here, sweetie.' Lila froze at the sound of Torn's voice again. "Get. Out. Of. My. Head! Get oooooout!" Lila screamed loud enough for ponies a block down the road could hear as she threw herself onto the bed, crying.

Lila grabbed Bayonet's hooves an pulled them down so that she could look her in the eyes. Lila stared at Bayonet for a few seconds before a low growl came from her throat. "You're going to listen closely, and you're going to do what I say. Now get out of my room, I don't even want to talk to you so just go." Lila stormed off the bed and went to the door, swinging it wide open for Bay to leave. "If I feel like you deserve another chance I'll come to you."

Lila was out for several before finally coming to. She could feel something in her mane and a muffled noise. Soon all of what had just happened came back to her. Her muzzle hurt, her head was pounding and her body still ached. Lila shakily stood up, not even noticing Bayonet. She then turned around and saw the mare and rage boiled up inside her.

(I was kind of hoping you would actually )Torn grinned on the inside as she knew Bayonet would take on her challenge. She waited for Bayonet to pin her before giving Lila back control right as Bay threw the punch knowing what would happen after she woke up again. Before Lila could say anything she was knocked out.

Torn laid on the ground, holding her muzzle in pain. She groaned as she looked up at Bay wondering how she had gotten out of her grip. Torn got up and glared at Bayonet and growled at her. "Buck. You. You filthy street rat! I'd like to see you hit me again. Or are you too worried about your dear Lila?" She growled, adding all her anger and hatred into Lila's name.
