While Sarah sleeps away the pain and longing, let's fly back and see how Silas is doing. We soar from our place on Sarah's shoulder. Fly across the distance. She fled back through the ripped-off door and alighted next to Silas. We will watch him while Sarah sleeps.
I laid on my back the stinging throb of the four deep gouges in my chest made it hard to think. Fear paralyzed me. I had just witnessed Sarah become a creature. a creature that had cats eyes. sharks teeth long bat like ears and wings with lizard like claws and tail. A wolf like snout and tiger-like reptilian paws and a forked tongue.
It was like an amalgamation of different animals stuck together a truly terrifying sight to behold. The incessant ringing in my ears from her roar was giving me a headache. What was she? Was she even human? Was she some kind of escaped science experiment? I shook my head, trying to clear it, and took deep breaths to slow my pounding heartbeat. Snow was flittering into the main hall as the door had been ripped off its hinges.
wind was whistling through it. Her words, "I can rip down this door" which I attributed to her being delusional, rang true. As I sat up, slowly wincing from the pain, I noticed blood was soaking the front of my shirt and knew I needed to attend to it as fast as possible. I stumbled into the bathroom, taking off my shirt tossing it aside. I used a soft washcloth to wash away the blood, and I applied antiseptic to my wounds, wincing at it's stinging pain.
I then applied badges to the gauges. I checked my phone, hoping to get a signal from the GPS on her collar. It led me back to the main hall, where the shreds of leather lay. My heart was heavy, and anxiety coursed through me. She's gone. I have no way of finding her, pain was surrounding me. I can't lose her, not like Jen. Tears started to fall as I knelt down, picking up the shreds of leather fingered it.
I shivered from the cold, finally noticing it fully. A fine layer of snow had settled into the entryway. I picked up the door. doing my best to reafix it to its frame and trudged up the stairs to my office. where I slouched heavily in my chair, I picked up the picture frame of my dear Jenny. how I had missed the signs I could of saved her. Instead, I was too wrapped up in my own world.
I ran a hand through my hair, trying hard to breathe through the suffocating pain. I had all but given up on finding someone, which made me feel the way Jen had. When I had met my little ouroboros online, I had to take a step back. I was struggling for sanity from our interaction after a long lost hope was rekindled. Her kindness in our interactions and her silly nature was endearing.
Through our late-night conversations, I learned about her hobbies, her hopes, and dreams. I knew early on how special she was. Her eagerness to learn and her willingness to admit when she didn't know or understand something were captivating in ways I didn't know was possible. She was ridiculously hard on herself, which made my heart ache, and when I had finally convinced her to talk to me in voice chat, her nervous, inappropriate laughter sent a smile to my face.
I tried to reassure her that everything was okay. Her voice was soft and gentle; the uptick of her voice as she talked about things she was passionate about and her giggly nature was infectious. as she playfully teased me about my proclivities but never made me feel bad about them. She accepted them as a part of who I was. The sarcastic tone of her saying "down to the fiery pits with you" she giggled. "I can't even believe you friendship with you is over. I'm friends with someone else now"
She couldn't contain her laughter and burst into hysterics. "I can't believe you like such things as fucking someone's ass with large objects. or spanking them or edge your submissive till they lose their mind, I can't even" she jokingly huffed.
I chuckled and shot back, "and what of you, Ouroboros? What is it that you like? What is the dark that your afraid of?" The mood shifted gone was the bubbliness she was just conducting herself with.
her tone soft. "I don't want to share"
I prodded her gently. "It's okay, you can tell me"
There was a long pause. "Well, I already told you I fantasized about being submissive, but I also" she choked for a moment, then finally tumbled out. "but I also would like to try long insertions. I've wanted to try them for a long time"
"Is there any more?" I coaxed "I don't think of you any less of you"
I heard her sigh in relief. "Well, I like the idea of being bound and completely helpless being forced to feel the pleasure I denied myself"
I was puzzled. "Why do you deny yourself of such things?" I asked. another long pause,
then she spoke so softly that I could barely hear her. "It's not okay to want sex it's not okay to want to be sexual" she horsily whispered.
