[POV: Mia]
"I'll be taking over for now"
I didn't know where the voice came from, but it was very similar to mine and I could feel it that I could trust the person speaking.
And then I lost control of my body completely, it felt very weird and I was transported to a place which was completely black with a huge screen in front of me.
It was a lot like a movie theater but instead of watching a movie, I was watching myself through my own eyes fighting a life and death battle with these disgusting worms.
I also noticed that I was in my human form in here but something was strange about my body, it was in an ethereal form and seemed like a gust of wind could blow me away.
I didn't know what to do, so I sat back and kept on watching, praying to whoever was above to give me or my body the strength to win this battle.
[POV: Third Person]
While on the other side of the screen, someone who was sleeping for a very long time finally woke up and got the chance to be in charge of the body after so long.
"Finally! I'm free!"
It shouted inside her mind with the same voice as Mia, and she could hear it clearly in the pitch black space.
She was startled for a second, but she quickly got herself up, she couldn't afford to be weak as before in an unknown world filled with danger.
"Who are you?"
She waited for an answer and the voice again resonated in the pitch black space.
"I'm you, but at the same time I'm not you, I don't exactly know how to explain this, but you can trust me so sit back and don't disturb me while I take care of these bad boys"
The other one said in a very confused yet very resolved manner.
Mia had a lot of questions for this person who has taken over her body but didn't wanted to disturb her while she was fighting so she sat back again while thinking who this person could be as her voice similar to hers, but that didn't helped at all, instead it made things more confusing for her.
She kept on thinking how could this person be her when she was in here while watching what's been displayed on the screen.
She watched in awe as the other person took care of the five worms all by herself, using all the skills she had in such an efficient manner.
[POV: Other Person]
"Okay then, time to teach these dirty worms how to properly treat a lady" I said with my eye color changing into an even darker shade if red.
The worms could feel that something was different about the bat in front of them, but they couldn't care less as their hunger had already taken over their actions completely.
"Now watch and learn from the expert!" I said in my mind for Mia to hear.
The worms moved in unison to attack the her, but before they could do anything, I did something that they couldn't have saw coming.
I put one of my hand on one of my waist and used the other hand to send a flying kiss towards them, while maintaining a sexy position, or atleast what could have been called a sexy position according to human standards.
The flying kiss and the sexy position was not to be underestimated, as it was imbued with the power of the skill [Soul Skill: Charm Lv.1].
With each of my flying kiss, a small heart made of pink energy was formed and attacked the worms one by one and they weren't even able to dodge it in time.
As the name says it, they were charmed by me after this attack, they were too busy adoring me to attack me or even dodge my attacks.
Ding!
Your skill [Soul Skill: Charm Lv.1] leveled up!
Just to be on the safe side, I also used the skill [Ice Field Lv.1], which froze the ground of three meter radius around me, freezing the worms in place at the same time.
I heard a gasp of shock coming from inside my mind which I instantly knew belonged to Mia.
I went near the worm who I was fighting before and sunk my teeth into its disgusting body using the skill [Bloody Bite Lv.1], which sucked all the blood from him and left his body limp and lifeless on the ground.
Ding!
Congratulations on defeating the Acid Worm!
You acquired 3 XP!
The blood tasted very bad, but I couldn't complain as it was a battle of life and death, and if I have to drink this disgusting blood of this dish worm, then so be it.
I did the same with the other three worms, it was very time consuming, but I still decided to do it because of a single reason, drinking blood made me feel stronger and very rejuvenated than before.
Ding!

Time was passing and the ice was melting, so I hurried myself, to the last worm, but before I could even sunk my teeth into him, the charm effect on him got over.
He instantly used his acid to remove the ice which was very weak now from his body and created some distance between us.
He was shocked when he looked around and found out that all of the other worms were lying dead on the floor.
He was clearly very angry at me for killing them and also hungry at the same time, he was so furious that he couldn't think clearly and lunged at me with all the strength he had.
But before he could, a needle made out of the blood of his fallen comrades pierced him and nailed him to the ground, the needle was made using my skill [Blood Needle Lv.1].
The needle left a hole in the middle of his body with blood coming out if it, he was going to scream like the first one and call more of his brethren.
But before he could do that, I send a blast of ice towards freezing him whole.
The worm fell on the ground, with its body broken into hundreds of ice shards.
Ding!

No sooner did I heard the last notification, I felt a pull and I found myself again in the dark place, with the huge screen showing what was been seen by Mia who was now in charge of the body.
[POV: Mia]
I felt a sudden pull as soon as the other person defeated the last worm and before I knew it, I was back in charge of the body.
"What the hell just happened?" I said in my mind .
"We don't have time for chit-chat right now, get on moving if you don't want us to die" the voice of the other person resonated inside my mind.
"Who the hell are you? and are we in danger?" I asked her.
"Just as I previously told you, I'm you I don't have the time to explain this, first store their bodies and then get out of this place, the blood will attract other monsters and don't ask me how I know this" she said.
"Okay, but as soon as we're out of here, I need answers and they better be good" I said while activating the skill [Unique Skill: Storage] which created a small black hole which absorbed all the bodies inside of it.
As soon as I was done with it I started moving towards the direction the water was moving.
"Are you an idiot or what?" she said to me as soon as I started walking.
"What did I do, you were the one who told me to get away from this place and now you're calling me an idiot?" I asked her in annoyance.
"Why the hell are you walking, you're a bat you idiot, use your wing and fly" she said.
"I don't know how to use them, have you forgotten that I was just transported into this body!" I remarked .
"Do you remember those two people who sent you here? they also implanted some memories for us to use this body properly and a little bit of common knowledge for us to survive in the wild. You just need to focus a little and it will come to your little idiotic mind" she said.
"Okay I'll do that then and you stop calling me idiot " I said while I closed my mind to focus and it was true, I had memories that didn't belonged to me, they were more muscle memories and experiences.
I flapped my wings and took off, it was as easy as that, I couldn't believe it, I was flying!
I flew toward the direction the water was moving and kept on doing so until I couldn't see the battlefield and even sense them using [Echolocation Lv.1] which i was only able to do so because of the memories implanted by those two people.
I landed on the ground which had a small cave nearby, which was very well hidden by the rocks, if it wasn't for the skill [Echolocation Lv.1], I wouldn't even have been able to find it in the first place.
Ding!
Your skill [Echolocation Lv.1] leveled up!
I couldn't care less about the notification from the system, my mind was filled with thousands of questions and funny enough the answers to my questions also layed inside my mind.
I quickly went inside the small cave and asked "Who are you? and what do you want? and how are you in my mind? and what was that black space? and are you spying on me?"
"Okay I'll try my best to answer each and ever one of your questions and if I miss something or if you've some other questions, then ask me those after I'm done explaining don't disturb, I'll try explaining as simplyas possible so that you could get it, I really can't believe that you used to stammer when you talked" she replied in a very annoyed tone.
"Fine by me!" I said.
"Well you see, it's very complicated, even I'm not so sure about it, but the only thing I can tell you is that my name is Amelia Allen and my parents and friends call me Mia, but that person also happens to be you.
The last thing I remember was receiving the news that dad had a horrible accident and went into coma and the chances of him waking up was very slim.
I remember running out of his hospital room, everything after that is a blank, I can't remember anything, it felt like I was sleeping all this time, and when you died, I somehow woke up.
And I found myself in this black space which I like to call the mindscape, here time passes sort of differently than in real life.
So I had time to go through all your memories and see what happened, though they were very cloudy and very hard to tell what exactly happen, but I got the general idea of what was going on.
I also spent sometime crying in here after watching how much of a mess our life had become and how we died, while you were trapped in the white room.
At first I blamed you for all of it, but then I realized that we're the same person and even if it was me out there, I might have ended up making the same choices as you and you also had to experience all the pain as well, whereas me, I was sleeping the whole time.
I felt very alone in here and I even tried talking to you, but no matter what I did, nobody could hear me.
I watched how you fought that worm and how you were so close to dying and I wanted to help you somehow and maybe my wish to help you might have manifested using the skill [Bat Fury Lv.1].
As soon as I became in charge of our body, all of the memories that you had and the memories implanted by those two people became clear to me, as if a veil was lifted from front of me.
Those memories helped me figure out how to use the skills I had and defeat those worms.
Now you can talk, ask me anything you want to and do it now because I'm not doing this answer and questions session twice" she said to me.
