STRONGER.
This dream this NightMare has been haunting Noelle since her first adventure through the dark world with Kris, Susie and Ralsei. Though she was in fact forgiven and coddled for her failings in there. Something deep within here instead wants to change.
The first thing she hears the rather obnoxious beeping of her alarm
She makes little noise as she gets ready for the school day as she heads towards the kitchen she's reminded more and more of the nightmare.
She alone as always her mother? Too busy being mayor to talk to her daughter. Rudy her wonderful father lays resting in bed from an incurable disease. Dess...
No one from her family is close to her the only thing remaining of the past ... Kris the ever quiet human of the town and her oldest friend.
Kris thinking back on the adventure the human showed great potential as a hero giving orders assisting the others and making sure to stick in the front lines along Susie to protect her and Ralsei in the back.
If only she can be like Kris...
As those thoughts ran through Noelle's head she robotically went through her morning locking up behind her and making her way towards the school.
The closer she got the more she thought about Kris... And if the legend Ralsei spoke of Kris and Susie fit the legend more than she did, why does she have the soul...
The Soul frightened her at first when it exerted control, but it soon showed its power by focusing her at least enough to follow Kris's orders. Though it seems friendly it keeps speaking to her at least. In a voice that sounds strangely like herself but .... It keeps encouraging her. To get stronger,... the darkners she felt an urge to use iceshock on them... At first it was easy to simply brush it off, it got harder and harder to do as the adventure went on. As soon as they reached the prison of the insane jester Jevil, Kris wanted her to stick to defending herself.
Kris didn't mean anything but here own safety by it she knew this but it still hurts. And this thinking brings back the Souls words ... wanting to become stronger... How can she do it, she wants to be relied on to not be protected to keep Susie, Ralsei and Kris safe with her own power.
ma- maybe if she can give the soul control it can help her more... but the feeling of being controlled doesn't sit well with her.
This line of thinking is interrupted as she makes it to Ms.Alphys class the lecture went for awhile and concluded in an team project though she's forced to team with Berdly as he loudly interrupted her attempt to team with Susie.
After class Berdly brought her to the computer room to start the project. Some time went on till she drifted into sleep.
???- Noelle become stronger.
Noelle- ... how
???-Simply let loose control.
???- Give in ... Proceed
Then Nolle fell into a dreamless slumber.
