The Duchess

Turns out I'm going to have to update this blog sooner than I thought. Somehow, even with all of the military protection I have, one of the Fears broke into the Wonderland Core facility I've been ever since my hiatus started. Or at least I think it broke in. It's kind of hard to explain...

I was brushing my teeth when I noticed the woman with long orange hair laying down in my bed.

"What the- How did...?"

"Hello Mister Morrow. It is a pleasure to see you yet again." She said as if barging into my room was normal.

"Wait... You're that girl in the blue dress that was playing chess at the apartment lobby during Christmas."

"A girl? Hardly Mister Morrow. I am The Vision, the Fear of destiny and the inevitable. Or as these pesky Wonderland Core agents call me, The Duchess."

"You're the Duchess.? To be honest I was kind of expecting the Fear of destiny to look... a lot older "

"Many people do." She responded.

"Anyway... What the hell are you doing here?"

"That's just it Mister Morrow. I'm not here."

"I don't follow."

"Of course you don't my little Scion..."

"Scion?" I asked.

"You see Memphis, you and your "girlfriend" are part of a game. I can't explain the purpose of the game or what the rules are but I can explain one thing. Before the game can begin two Fears must sacrifice their power and give it to two humans. Said humans are then hunted down by one side and are protected by the other. And this year it was my turn to sacrifice a bit of my power..."

"You... You gave me your powers."

"An incredibly small bit of it, but yes I did. You see by looking into someone's eyes, I can transfer a small fragment of my mind into their subconscious. Which is what I did to you the first time we met my little Scion. By doing this I can communicate to you at all times. Even when you're under the protection of Wonderland Core."

"So you're just an illusion?"

"In a sense..." She answered. "However, not even Wonderland Core can keep you from me for long. It won't be long until you are free from their grasp and I can finally regain the fragment of my mind within you."

"If you want it so bad then why did you give it to me in the first place?"

"Because it is part of the game Mister Morrow." The Vision said as she slowly disappeared.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm sick and tired of not knowing what the fuck this game is all about.
