These is my first story so please be nice. Rated T just in case
Do you want it in a bag?" The parasite asked me pointing to the cartoon of milk on the counter.
"No," I said smiling at her. Her host was pretty, red curly hair and large blue eyes with a faint shimmer of silver just like mine.
"Thanks for coming to Byers', Dew Drops," She handed me the milk smiling at the stupid name I came up with.
Hey, not all soul names are stupid, Flower told me weakly I am surprised she is still there.
I'm not that weak, She protested if you haven't noticed I am still here.
I turned all my anger on her and felt her shiver. I immediately felt horrible. Why I did I didn't know her species wiped out all the humans including my family.
We did it for a reason She spoke defending her parasites.
I took the milk and walked up to my car keeping the milk in the passenger seat. I started the engine and the radio blasted on. The singers were the same but the songs were about taking over Earth. I closed the radio in anger. If souls were so perfect believed in peace why did they erase all the humans?
You were dangerous and we are used to peace but I guess that is wrong Flowers admitted and sighed,
I drove to my apartment kept the milk in the fridge and sat by the computer and checked my email. 1 new message it was from my Comforter a counselor we called them in school:
Flowers Dancing Beneath the Stars,
I am truly sorry but we cannot meet this Monday for important reasons. Lets reschedule does Friday next week work.
Around 5:00. Remember I am very sorry.
Your Comforter
Yes I thought jumping out of my chair. Those meeting really bothered me. I had to sit in a chair with a worm her host was middle aged, she asked all kinds of questions like How did you sleep last night? Mostly I looked at the buildings behind her while Flower tried to listen, I answered her back:
Comforter
Friday seems fine. Don't worry I am busy Monday anyway
Flower
I woke up from a quiet knock on the door, I groaned as I got up from the bed the dial clock read 7:45 who could be at the door this early. I stretched and opened the door I looked down and saw one of my over friendly neighbors. I struggled to remember her name something with a R. The only soul in the building who kept her hosts name. Reneta, Rhiannon, Rachel or maybe Ruth
Rose Flower reminded me she paid attention to all names
I quickly put a fake smile on my lips and opened the door wider to let her in.
"Hey Rose, come on in." I gestured her to come and she removed her shoes and came inside."
"I am so sorry I woke you up," She said apologetically after look a good look at me
"Its fine," I lied Flowers reminded me of my manners, "Would like something to drink hot chocolate or tea?"
"Hot chocolate please," She said taking of her oversized coat and hanging it on a hook.
I nodded and went to the kitchen, Rose followed me. I took a package of Peppermint hot chocolate and put it in a mug of hot water and stirred gently. I handed her the cup and we sat on the couch.
"So what's up?" I asked her and her lip quivered and her eyes became watery.
"You know my partner Harry," she whispered and waited till I nodded, "He's a painter and so he loves the desert and all the animals. So he decides to go to Arizona and I was invited to go along but who will watch the house. He just got on a plane two days ago and of course reached by now. He never called me though and I am so worried,"
Rose's voice was breaking and a big tear was running down her cheek.
Hug her Flower urged me she even got my hands to move a little, that's when I realized how strong she was getting.
Eew gross I told her I was revolted. Not only because of that but what if she could gain control of me ever. I would be pushed back in the corner of my head and all my secrets would come out.
"What if humans got to him there so wild it wouldn't hurt to kill another one," Rose was sobbing clutching the cup in her tightened hands
"Wait what humans?" What she said made me very curious
"There is said to be a whole coven of them somewhere, "She shivered "They take souls from houses everywhere. The ones taken never come back."
"Don't worry he will come back and call the hotel he is going to '' I told her and we became silent well she kept sobbing.
I felt awkward so I turned on the TV. We watched a show with two souls falling in love. Then Rose got up.
"I guess its time for me to go, but thanks Flower," She said getting her coat.
"Well, bye," I said and let her out.
You should be friendlier she might think something's wrong with us Flower said and again I noticed how strong she was getting. If I talked to her and became her friend then she could take over me when I didn't except it. These souls are unpredictable.
I wouldn't do that Flower murmured I forgot to block my thoughts
Ugh I groaned and pushed her in the back of my head. I made pact with myself not talk to her. These parasites might have taken over my family but they wouldn't take over me.
