The room was dark and freezing. Anna woke up feeling the chilly breeze blowing from the window. She stretched her back and tried to find the blanket that Rico was hogging. Without opening her eyes, she patted her bed until she finally felt the edge of the blanket and yanked it as hard as she could.
Rico groaned and loosened up his grip of the blanket. She grabbed the blanket and covered the exposed parts of her body. Ann was still cold, so she decided to wrap her arms around him from behind, feeling the heat of his body and the slightly sweet smell of his sweat.
Not telling him the truth was wrong. She knew it was, but there was just something about him that made her say what she said earlier that afternoon. She knew very well how she was putting him in danger, especially with her current volatile psyche. But she simply can't push him away. It was impossible to let him go, because he was a one-of-a-kind type of man.
Rico had always been a loving person. He was always there for her through thick and thin. His sweet and caring smile when she messes up. His warm and tight embrace that always welcomed her after having a bad day. His assuring voice when everything felt like it was breaking into pieces. He was tender, yet strong. He was everything a girl could ever want and then some.
Anna pressed her face against Rico's back savoring the moment of their sweet and sensual bonding. She smelled his sweat mixed with his musky cologne, a scent she that she just couldn't get enough of. Actually, she was always a sucker for that musky, manly scent. That was one of the reasons why she was strongly attractive to him when they first met. There was something about the scent that so primal, it made her just to take off her inhibitions and eat him.
…eat him…
Eat… him?!
Anna opened her eyes just to be welcomed in horror by her body moving on itself. Her tongue rolled out of her mouth like a grotesque serpent slowly crawling towards his ear. She tried her best to stop herself, but her body wasn't listening.
Soon her hands began to transform, her slender fingers turned long and prominently bony with long, sharp nails carefully digging in her boyfriend's skin.
The monster inside her growled in joy as the claws drew trickles of blood from his skin. Anna screamed and tried to fight for her body, but the monster in her was too strong and too hungry to care, let alone listen to her.
"No! NO!" She shouted as her monster-controlled body drag its long finger ran it up and down his spine. Then, after a few minutes of teasing, the monster dug her nail into the skin near his spine and scratched him with it. Anna can only look in horror and agony as her monstrous self, violating her boyfriend while asleep.
Her barbed tongue nicked pieces of her boyfriend's skin. She could hear the monster inside her smile as it licked the oozing blood and sinew from her boyfriend's back. Anna tried to control herself but the beast inside her growled and violently pushed her consciousness into the side.
Anna felt the hunger tormenting her body. She could feel her stomach growl and cramp from the insatiable craving. She heard her jaw cracking and felt it dislocate from her head. Her mouth was wide enough to fit Rico's head. The monster was about to devour her beloved.
It went in closer, sizing her boyfriend's head and was ready to devour it when Anna's consciousness fought back the monster within her and took control of her body. She pushed her boyfriend of the bed before she struggled against the beast inside her. Their consciousness wrestled and fought one another like a twisted game of tug of war.
After a few struggles, her mind went blank and suddenly her world turned dark.
Anna woke up in the sensation of a wet, slimy floor. The stench of stale blood and urine filled the air. She opened her eyes and found herself naked, surrounded with pig carcasses hooked into chains. She stood up, baffled by the place.
Her hands were filled with blood and muck. The hanged carcasses were riddled with scratches and bite marks. It was clear that her method failed. The monster that she tried so much to control was unleashed after all.
She heard footsteps and whispers from the distance. The men approaching her weren't happy with what they saw. The ravaged carcasses hanging by their sinews was a grisly sight to see. She could hear metal clanging and chains being dragged as the men approached her.
The men were there to beat the culprit. Anna immediately stood up and tried her best to hide behind the dark corner of the slaughterhouse. Not soon after, the men came to where she laid and inspected the area.
"Putang ina! Who did this to the meats?!" One man commented.
"Leche! This is a day's worth of stock!" Another man said.
"W-whatever it is, get the animal that is behind this and make it a pulutan later!" Another one spat.
The men agreed and went their separate ways, as what she could hear through their footsteps. Anna waited in bated breath as the footsteps came closer. She squeezed herself in a small space in between two walls and hoped for the best.
She covered her mouth and closed her eyes as the sense of dread became more apparent. That was when she heard the voice again.
"FEED ME!" The monster growled.
She opened her eyes as she felt her muscles moved. It's going on again! She's morphing into that grotesque creature once again. Anna knew that if she doesn't stop the monster from coming out, it would be bad news to the men searching for her if she transforms.
Anna heard her stomach grumbled violently and she began to salivate. Her craving for human flesh resurfaced and this time, it was stronger. She could feel the beast clawing to go out. Its voice became louder inside her head, drowning her thoughts with its thoughts.
The footsteps stopped at her location. She could hear them mumble and argue about the sets of footprints leading up to that dark corner. Anna heard one of them ordering another to get the shotgun and the flashlight.
Anna desperately needed to get out of there or else she'll be dead in a few minutes. But somehow, she also realized that dying there could solve her predicament and save her boyfriend and other people from her ravenous desire.
She took a step out into the open.
"Get out of there! You're being surrounded!" One of the men spat.
Anna wanted to reveal herself to them and get the end she hoped for, however, the beast inside her was having none of it. It aggressively controlled her body and got her motionless on the spot. She tried moving, but her body won't budge.
She could hear the men losing patience. They were still waiting for her reveal herself but, with only her left foot t visible in the open, it became a frustrating wait for them. After a few more minutes of waiting, one of the men, grabbed her exposed foot and dragged her out into the open.
Her body automatically responded. Her hands cling on to a small gap in the walls. As the pulling continued, Anna became exponentially stronger. More men came in to help. One of them tied the chain on her ankle and used it to yank her out of hiding. But even that was no use.
Anna tried her best to keep the monster inside her at bay, but it was too strong and too aggressive for her to control at that point. The tugging continued and suddenly, she blacked out.
She was fading in and out of her consciousness. But from the little glimpses she was able to see, Anna saw the carnage she caused. The men were thrown a few feet away and ran in fear. One of them was hanged on the hook by his shoulder. But one burly man had the unfortunate fate of being entangled by her long hair.
It was the first time she saw it as well. But the way the man was attacked send shivers down spine. The long hair went inside his mouth, nose and ears. The monster tortured him by depriving him with much needed air. She could feel the life leaving out of the man's body, when suddenly, she heard gunshots. That's when the monster decided to stop and exit the slaughterhouse, leaving the unconscious man on the cold, murky floor. Her consciousness faded after that.
