The shadow figure growled as it heard that.
"A worthless mortal." it responded, as the shadows dug deeper inside her.
"Now COME HERE!" it ordered her.
After it did, she felt her muscles twitching and jerking about, as she started to slowly move towards it.
"You are worthless, as is that pathetic worm that put you here." it told her.
"He will be the first to feel my wrath."

It took a fair bit of effort, but Erice stopped moving.
"Yeahhh, see. I'm not worthless." She told him, something to her voice that hadn't really had a chance to see the air for quite awhile. She was sick of being called worthless, and it had always been a hot button for her.
"Just because I happen to have this fucking curse," She started as she reached up and tore one of the tendrils off of her, something that he hadn't expected, "does not mean I can't be who I fucking want to be."
"So you can shut your trap. You're the worthless one here." She snarled as she tore another of the tendrils off.
"What!?" the figure exclaimed.
"No!" it yelled, as he threw some more 'string' her way, the strands stabbing into her.
However, she continued to pull them out.
"This can't be!" it growled loudly, as it took an unconscious step back.
"You are just a mere mortal!" it said.
"I AM AKA MANAH!" it then declared loudly, its voice seeming to shake the entire area.

Erica looked around before looking back to the figure in front of her.
"And you're the one that completely fucked up, just to be bound to mortals!" She replied.
"I don't care who you are, or who you think you are, but obviously you're not one of high regard! Otherwise, you wouldn't be at the mercy of one like me!"
The shadow growled even more loudly than before.
"You dare!? YOU DARE!?" it howled.
It then sent dozens of the 'strings' towards her, all of them embedding in her body, and started to force her to walk towards it again... but something seemed... different.
Erica sensed that the control was weakening... and almost as though she could control IT.

Erica sensed that the control was weakening... and almost as though she could control IT.
Erica continued to walk toward it, but every step acquired more of her own determination.
Once she was close enough, She backhanded him before grabbing what could be considered his collar.
"You want to tell me waht to do? You want to be the one in control?" She asked, her voice darkening.
"I dealt with enough shit like that when I was a child, and I refuse to deal with it as an adult." She warned.
"You better run away like a mutt with its tail between its legs, or just give in because I will not go down easy." She then paused for a moment.
"If you throw all you have at me, maybe, just maybe, you'll be able to actually win this."
The shadow seemed to cower slightly, before growling again.
"SO BE IT!" it yelled, before exploding hundreds of the strings from within in.
The battle of wills rages on for an unknown time period... before the shadow collapsed to the floor, before Erica.
"...why...?" it asked.
"I... I am... Aka Manah..." it said.
"How... can I lose to a mere mortal...?"

Erica just crossed her arms. She wasn't wasn't feeling the best either, but she was faring better than he was, it seemed.
"How? Because you're too damn cocky." She answered.
"You had no room to acknowledge that there's a possibility that you're below me." She added.
"So you lost. Get over it."
"Nngh..." the shadow muttered.
"Damn you..." it cursed.
"Filthy... miserable..." it said quietly, before sighing.
"Very well." it then mumbled.
"You win." it said.
"I... concede." it finished. With that, it seemed to dissipate into nothingness, and the world seemed to turn black before her eyes... but that's when she realized it was because she had her eyes closed.
When she opened them, she saw Azazel sitting before her.
"I assume you succeeded?" he asked her.
"Damn you..." it cursed.
"Filthy... miserable..." it said quietly, before sighing.
"Very well." it then mumbled.
"You win." it said.

When she opened them, she saw Azazel sitting before her.
"I assume you succeeded?" he asked her.
Erica was silent for a moment sighing and just slumping against the back of the chair.
"that... was absolute hell." she said.
"But I did. It was a battle of wits more than anything, but I'm too tenacious for my own good, so of course I won." She added.
Azazel smiled.
"Good." he replied.
"Glad to hear it." he told her.
"So... odds are you're feeling pretty drained." he commented.
"And it's understandable." he said further.
"But... on the bright side, you now have complete control over the mark." he went on.
"Congrats!"
"Good." he replied.
"Glad to hear it." he told her.
"So... odds are you're feeling pretty drained." he commented.
"And it's understandable." he said further.
"But... on the bright side, you now have complete control over the mark." he went on.
"Congrats!"
"Yeah, drained is..... putting it lightly." Erica answered.
"I feel almost as if I'm about just die, or something." She added with a light shake of her head.
"You happen to have anything to munch in here? That might help."
Azzy nodded.
"Yeah, sure." he replied.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"I've got some chips, some chocolate, some choco-pretzels, and... like, some trail mix." he told her.
"Want something to drink as well?" he asked.
"I got water, juice, and some pop."
"Yeah, sure." he replied.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"I've got some chips, some chocolate, some choco-pretzels, and... like, some trail mix." he told her.
"Want something to drink as well?" he asked.
"I got water, juice, and some pop."
"I dunno... surprise me." Erica said as she sighed lightly.
"Ugh. This is hell." she muttered.
"But, at least this won't be an issue any longer."
"Indeed." Azazel replied.
"Not for the rest of your life." he told her.
"And your mark's spread out as well, if you want to check it over." he said.
He then got her a bottle of mango juice, and some chocolate covered pretzels.
"Here." he said.
"Not for the rest of your life." he told her.
"And your mark's spread out as well, if you want to check it over." he said.
He then got her a bottle of mango juice, and some chocolate covered pretzels.
"Here." he said.

Erica accepted the proffered snacks before sighing.
"I'll cgheck that later." She said.
"But thanks, Az." She told him.
"I really do think that was something that I needed." She then added after a few seconds.
