Life at Windian High




Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months.

Since a Woren by the name of Chris Fallon had been possessed by a demonized Persona, many things have come and gone.

For instance, there was one time when he had convinced one of the Persona Users that he was a stalker. Considering that he knew the girl was paranoid because of past occurances back in Lunarvale...

Then there were the times where HellCat managed to chase Ellen around Windia Park. He would have killed her, but one of the Persona Users managed to warn the others, his friends, and most importantly, the girl's boyfriend.

A few days later, after his host had been suspended from school, HellCat caught one of the Persona Users in the park. Sensing that it was the one who killed his brother, HellCat immediately attacked him, spouting out some nonsense about Ellen.

That too, went down the toilet. His friends caught up to him. The human had sent them to get two more friends. He managed to curse the Persona User, but he had just enough strength left to summon his Persona.

Damn Persona User... I should have picked up on the fact that he had strong Persona! Even his starting Persona...

"What, you finally met your match?" Chris told the Persona in his mind.

HellCat did not like what was going on. Just today, he was beginning to lose hold on his host. It wouldn't be long before he was rejected. And that was something that he didn't want to do.

Besides, my revenge isn't complete! They must pay!

"Pay? I don't think so! Just give me back my body already!!!" Chris yelled at the Persona mentally.

HellCat had dressed himself in black; Black as in the color of death itself. He was out for blood. And he had the feeling that his prey would be at this carnival.

Sure enough, he spotted Frank Maynard heading for one of the many snack booths that lined the carnival.

As soon as HellCat spotted Frank, he turned him around forcefully. As Frank's eyes went wide, HellCat grinned maliciously as he grabbed the Persona User by the neck and lifted him.

"Y... you!" Frank managed to stammer out.

HellCat was about to reply, but at that moment, Chris had gained the upper hand. Red eyes changed to a scared blue, and Chris spoke.

"Help! Please! If you're listening! Help! Get this... thing! Out of me! AGH!!!" Once more, blue eyes shifted to red, leaving an angry Woren and a surprised Persona User.

So that's it!!! As soon as Frank saw what happened, he realized that was not a Woren he was dealing with.

"Who... what are you? Why did you possess him?" Frank gasped out.

HellCat/Chris growled at the Persona User. "For REVENGE, Persona User!" And with that, the possessed Woren tossed Frank back in the direction that he had come from.

Stalking after his prey, he managed to overhear Frank scrambling to his feet and talking worriedly to his friends.

Ironic... all of them are here... even the girl who shot those fire laced bullets at my master!

At that point, Chris decided to take control once more.

"Help me! Get this... thing outta me!!!" At that point, Chris shook his head and took on the red eyes once more.

HellCat growled before looking at the Persona Users and company. "Tsk... quite a shame... seems like I'm losing control of my host..."

It finally dawned on Ellen. "You... how dare you! Using someone to get at me! I'll never forgive you!"

Frank eased himself into an unarmed position. "Watch out! He's possessed! I don't know when... I don't know how..."

HellCat merely laughed at the Persona User. "Very good! I followed you from Lunarvale to extract revenge! This time around, you fools have no silver on you!!!"

It finally dawned on Frank. "You're the brother of that demonized Persona that we killed in the museum back in Lunarvale!!!"

"Lunarvale??? What's he talking about?" Justin asked Janet in confusion.

"Don't worry about it..." Janet told her boyfriend without removing her eyes from the current threat at hand.

With those words, HellCat finally took his true form, causing the Woren to crumple to the ground in exhaustion.

**************************************************

"Hey... are you okay?" A female voice asked.

Truth be told, Chris Fallon was in a world of hurt. For a couple of months, he had not been able to control his actions. Heck, he didn't even know what his captor had used him for.

"Ugh... what... what happened?" The woren finally opened his eyes and saw Ellen Johnson, the girl that he had a crush on.

"Hey... you're that girl... Alex's girlfriend... Ugh... what... happened?" Chris said with a groan.

"A lot, Chris." Frank said quietly. "Way too much, in my opinion. I'm sorry, where are my manners." The Persona User said as he offered a hand to Chris.

The Woren gratefully accepted it, and hoisted himself up. "Thanks... and you are..."

"Frank... Frank Maynard. Sorry about this..." The Persona User said as he glanced around.

"I remember who you are! You're the one with those... powers..." Chris said as he reclined against a bench.

"I guess you could put it that way..."

Chris shook his head. "I have no idea what... that thing did with me for the past month or so..."

"Actually..." Ellen said as she fidgeted a little.

"Come on, it can't be that bad... can it?" Chris asked hopefully.

"Well... HellCat here... he was stalking Ellen..." Alex said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"WHAT???" Chris said as he shook his head, both ears drooping. "It gets worse, doesn't it?"

"Actually... yeah..." Ellen said as she smoothed out her silver colored silk dress.

"Yer kinda suspended from school..." Diane said with a smirk.

Chris shook his head again. "What else happened?"

"I'm sorry... But... there's a restraining order on you against Ellen, and that thing tried to kill both of us many times." Frank said quietly.

Chris stood up, and looked away from the Persona Users. "I don't deserve to be talking to you all..."

Frank was shocked. "What?"

"Why do you say that?" Nate asked as he cleaned his glasses.

"I nearly killed you guys... Sure, I may have been possessed... but I should have been stronger than that... He shouldn't have even gotten me..." Chris said quietly, but loud enough for Frank and co. to hear.

Kate spoke up, ears twitching in worry. "Chris... it wasn't...."

Unfortunately, Kate's advice fell on deaf ears. Chris was long gone, and halfway home.
