Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: Hunger

A blue-skinned woman ran through the woods at top speeds as she hunted humans and animals alike, bringing them back to a large cave where a blue hair girl with disfigured features lays to rest peacefully. There was no movement to her breath saying that she was breathing nor was there any pulse to let others know she is alive.

The blue woman with see-through wings put the prey down and walked over to the sleeping dead. she laid a kiss on the other forehead before she started a campfire right by the entrance of the cave to go cook her spoils of today.

She wore leather clothing, the top looking like some type of leather corset and the bottoms being loose leather pants, they were held together by a Catgut. They are a type of string made from animals on the walls of animal intestines they are commonly used for instruments.

She took her time preparing the meat, only to bring them inside where Dyllis slept. A little further away from Dyllis sleeping corpse, laid a pile of animals and human meats alike, all dried up and ready to be eaten at any given moment.

Right next to the pile there are racks made of bones where she put the meat to dry them out. Above the rack was a human wide hole, which showed the bright sky. It was high noon, the small circle in the sky shown brightly, lighting up the human size hole.

Turning her sights away from the hole up in the ceiling she walked back over towards her lover, but something about her lover seemed off. On closer inspection, black veins appeared all over the young girl's body. A sudden leap in power appeared as well, it was as if sleeping all this time was her way of getting upgraded to a higher level monster.

Dyllis body started to sweat with a sudden change which wasn't normal for her to do so, Black ooze started pouring out of all her pores as if to get rid of impurity from her body. Tobca was amazed by the current events 'so this is how a monster upgrades' before continuing with her thought she started to clean the ooze off Dyllis body.

She spent the whole day cleaning off the ooze so that her beloved wouldn't drown in it, even though she couldn't die. Tobca had no idea about that fact yet, that Dyllis was practically impossible to kill.

Her body finally stopped oozing the liquid, the black veins were still there showing it wasn't over yet. On the other side, Dyllis was just floating around in her own space looking at the loading screen. It said 'getting rid of impurities, it will take a moment'

All the while in that time frame, Dyllis played a game of chess with the Ai who was almost completed, the bar showed at 99% finished. Unknown to Dyllis it has been a whole year since she went into a deep sleep. To her, she felt like she had been in sleep for a few months at least but sleep can do that for you.

Tobca had fallen asleep from exhaustion, using her mana reserves so much that she practically empty them all on Dyllis. Tobca has become stronger over the year and made a home inside the cave, there were times where she would take an odd job or two.

She also dealt with harassment from both genders, she tried her best to spare the few she could, she ended up killing most of them. As she slept she was unaware of the current danger she was in, since Dyllis has been asleep for so long her body would have been aching to get a bite out of the first living humanoid it sees.

The next morning everything was deadly quite nothing moved not even a Rabbit rat moved an inch from its burrow, Terror filled its sense as a strong monster aura kept it in place.

Dyllis opened her eyes, looking around as hunger pains bother her, she saw the sleeping fae right next to her, thinking she would be a great meal before a whiff of wind catches her attention towards the pile of dried meats.

Forgetting about the living fae she pouncing towards the meat pile and dug in, eating with no other thought, Hunger was all that was on her mind. If she knew she had thought about eating Tobca she would have been horrified by it.

As of the moment she kept feasting away at the prepared human and animal meats, loud munching sounds can be heard throughout the whole cave. One would think a pack of wolves was feasting on a huge prey that they hunted down. Growls can be heard as if in warning other monsters not to come near or they will be next.

Tobca is slowly woken up by the loud growls and munching sounds, rubbing her sleepy eyes she looked over towards the meat pile almost gone as a tall boney creature crouch over the remaining food as it continues to eating away. Feeling around right next to her she notices her cannibal is missing, looking at the creature from the back and back to the spot right next to her.

She puzzled together it was Dyllis, Dyllis hair seemed to have grown longer because of how long she was asleep. Every day Tobca took good care of Dyllis brushing her hair every morning and getting her cleaned once a week for hygiene matters.

The munching noised stopped as all the food has disappeared, a burst of sickening laughter rang out as well as a voice "More, More! I need more!" it shrieked madness took over the once kind look it usually held. It turned its head towards Tobca, licking its lips. Black gue oozes out from the corner of the cannibal's eyes, Tobca seemed startled by what it said.

Before she knew it, Dyllis was on top of her. Sharp teeth like needles and a long tongue hung out. Reaching down about to bite as Tobca struggled to get out of the Wendigo grasp, scared for her life.
