THE AMAZING EMO GIRL!

Shell looked at the girl harder now, even more curious. He kept trying to figure out if she was indeed telling the truth, or if it was just another attempt to scare him off. Either way, he couldn't leave now, he wanted to stay. He stared at her more intensely and said, " I don't believe you." There was a part of him that believed it could be possible, that it could've been that spell the supposed witch had put on the girl, but there was something about the way she'd smirked that made him not believe 100% of what she was saying.

"You know, just because you have to doesn't mean you have to go at it all alone. I mean, sure, you can go off and kill the witch with your own hands, but what about back up? Think about it, after having to fight all her guards and monsters, you'd be exhausted by the time you'd get to her. And in that case, you'd fail". Shell was curious himself on why he was slightly worried about the girl, why he didn't want o her to fight some unknown witch by herself when he had no real idea who the girl was in the first place. They were strangers. It was most likely out of brotherly instinct or something, knowing he'd act the same way towards Delilah. The boy sighed and continued, "Look...I'm not asking you to not fight this witch. I'm not trying to talk you out of it. What I am asking you is that you don't go at it alone."

"Well, okay maybe that wasn't the curse. But it happens a lot anyway, so why would I want to get another person involved in my life?" She revealed the wound on her shoulder, "This is part of the curse, an unhealable wound. Second part is having more than one past."

Shell had felt the urge to grin slightly, but he didn't because he knew it wasn't right to. Especially when she was being serious. He didn't say anything when she commented on not wanting someone else involved in her life. But then she showed him the unhealable wound and having more than one past. "Wait...so what, you've lived more than one life?"

"I don't need people to help me, and I'd rest so I wouldn't be exhausted. I'm not gonna barge in there in one day and kill myself like a fool."

Shell sighed, noticing how stubborn the girl was. "I'm not saying that. Jeez, haven't you ever heard of the saying 'two heads are better than one'?"

"But why have more rotting corpses, and more weaknesses come along and hold me back from doing all that I can to kill her. It's a stupid plan and idea, because all my work would go in vain and then I'd die anyway because I was protecting some weakling that tagged along. I don't want to have a bunch of dumb people along. Because they wouldn't be able to handle it all and they'd die."

The boy grumbled, the girl wasn't understanding at all to what he had meant. "Look, that's not what I meant. I mean, do you seriously think people would go off fighting without knowing that it might be their end? Those people who would fight along beside you to help you fulfill your mission wouldn't be asking for you're protection. They'd be fighting. Sure some might die, but that's a risk they knew of and they took it." Shell looked that the girl, and took a few breaths before adding one last thing. "Are you sure you can handle it by yourself?"

"Yes, three, all of them I had dreams of my past existance but I never truly had three lives just a spell making you relive the same time just everytime you die your pasts being unknown and being put through torments of pasts. Each time getting worse. It's only a spell she'd think up and make because she likes to torture people through controling their lives everytime she kills them at the end. Who knows if I'll ever be able to break it, but I must try even if I end up dead for the last time."

Shell remained silent, not really sure how to answer to that, since he was a bit confused. All he understood for sure was that the girl really was going to try and fulfill her mission no matter what. Like, her decision was set, and no one could change it. And Shell didn't want to change it; he wanted to help. And she wasn't letting him.

"I've heard of it but it doesn't mean it's true. And besides, I've had this made up in my mind since I put my pasts together. And I'm not gonna have other people die. I don't like watching my comrades die around me. It's happened before, and I don't want to see it again. So just drop it."

"No, I'm not going to drop it. You're afraid of watching the people around you fight die, but what about the people who know you're off and most likely going to fail and die? What about them? They don't want you to die, i don't want you to die!" Shell shocked himself with what he'd just said. What was with him? Here he was with this strange, almost suicidal girl that he barely even knew, and he didn't want her to die? They weren't even friends, so why did it affect him so much?

"I don't care if I can or can't handle it by myself, I can't bare seeing more people die or realize I've seen people in my past lives die and see them again and them not remember me or act as if I exist as so many memories of the fights and such come to my mind. And then when I die they disappear till I am so old and the situation arises and I suddenly have the wound again. It's complicated but I rather fight her than have other people suffer as well."

"Well even if you die, people are still going to suffer. If you die and fail, then this witch will still have power and people will still suffer." Of course, this was probably a waist of his breath since he didn't even know if she had anyone else that she cared about. And plus, her mind was 'set'.
