My rather embarrassing dream ended to me feeling someone touching me up. It has my hand, but I couldn't feel it... or move it.
The little ghost popping her head from my palm almost made me fall off the bed.
"Sorry~ My baad~"
Soja had been haunting me ever since I moved to this flat. Freaked the hell out of me at first, but she had ultimately been harmless. The most she ever did was move items around to annoy me.
It made sense. A ghost of one of the little ones couldn't have that much presence.
That being said...
Something did look off about her this morning.
Was she... taller? Not just taller, but visibly bigger all around, comparable to a whole pinky instead of just the tip.
She had always looked the same. And this possession was new...
...had she been gnawing on my soul?! Could they do that?!
I frantically voiced my concerns. Soja merely laughed back in her own shambling way that did little to quell them.
"A big worried of being eaten? No need, no need~"
She continued.
"I just... wanted to feel how you felt. You were getting reaaally worked up while sleeping, you know~"
I looked away bashfully without meaning to, evoking yet another fit of laughter from the gloomy ghost.
"I just... had to feel it again."
...hm?
"He was weak, even in death. Caught by surprise while scavenging, couldn't resist my possession."
Did... she...?
"And you know what?"
"It was better than last time! You licked me up before I could do it myself, you were in control, couldn't have stopped you even if I wanted to. Swallowing me down on instinct, uncaring to my wriggles, at the mercy of your empty stomach. It was the best. You are the best. You are... You..."
The eyes I saw from amidst her long locks were burning with a feeling I hadn't seen before from her. It was like she was possessed.
No, not possessed.
Obsessed. Passionately, endearingly obsessed, willing to go to any lengths to satisfy themselves.
Even just looking at her gave me chills.
Soja did calm down eventually. Her ghastly huffs quieted down, as did her heaving. But the emotion behind those little eyes never wavered. I met her eyes straight on, even as she began to float closer.
I felt her cold presence whispering in my ear.
"Would you... like... more?"
*gulp*
