Lind's Snack Time 2

Slowly, Lind yawned and woke up. Seeing her belly back to normal size, she determined it was time for her next meal. She looked at the sleeping Rose and licked her face once, pulling back in disgust afterwards. The taste of Rose's tears soured her taste. Lind shifted herself and pushed Rose off of her gently, making sure not to wake her up. She crawled over to her pond and started drinking to get the sour taste out of her mouth.

After a long drink, she started walking away from the pond, but began to cough heavily. She had something lodged in her throat. Lind looked down to make sure her prey wasn't trying to escape, but remembered that he had already digested upon seeing her flat stomach. She continued to cough and gag, eventually feeling several objects go from her throat to her mouth.

Lind then carefully took the objects out of her mouth, placed the objects on the ground, and shifted through them. They mostly consisted of the objects that had bound Thorn. Lind was unable to digest the items, so she just coughed them up after her meal was digested. She eventually found a small, black box amongst the chains and cloth. She picked it up, went back over to her sleeping prey, sat down beside her, and opened it. Inside was a small diamond ring. It had a small engraving on it.

'I will love you for eternity, my ever-lovely Rose.'

There was also a small note in the box.

'We have been partners as long as I can remember, and I can no longer hide my feelings for you. When we first met, I felt I had to protect you, though I knew not why. I have realized now, I love you. I wish nothing more than to love and protect you, and for you to accept it. I will lay my life and soul down for you. I care not if you are a Kishin. If you wish to take my soul away and swallow it, I will willingly give it up for you. If you wish for me to meet my death, then I will welcome it. I will do anything you wish, anything to make you happy. I have only one question, beautiful, lovely Rose, will you do me the honor of being my wife?'

Lind read the note, put it back in the small box, and closed it. She was about to swallow it again, but stopped when Rose began to stir from her sleep. Lind watched her as she sat up and wiped the tears off of her face. "Eh? Was I crying? That's weird." She giggled. Lind swallowed the small box, but not before Rose had seen it. "Eh? What was that?" She asked, moving closer to Lind, who opened her mouth wide.

"Go on in if you want to see it." She chuckled. She thought Rose would back away from her, but was extremely surprised when she slowly started to crawl into her mouth. Lind was sad that there was no chase, but she was happy to be having a meal that would do some of the work for her. She leaned back, letting Rose crawl further into her mouth. The Kishin giggled as Lind's tongue ran across her face several times. Her head reached the back of the predator's mouth, with opened up happily to let Rose into the throat as Lind swallowed slowly.

Rose's head entered the throat slowly, the muscles massaging her as she slowly started her descent into the stomach. She smiled, smelling the same sweet scent Thorn did, though she didn't pass out. Instead, she giggled as Lind's tongue started to pass over her stomach. Lind was already at her waist. She wanted to slowly eat her meal, but she couldn't. She was too hungry to slow down. She removed Rose's shoes and socks carefully as she grabbed her feet, pushing her farther into her throat as she began to swallow faster.

Rose smiled as she felt a blast of warm air hit her face. She opened her eyes to see a pool of gastric acid, gurgling and bubbling in anticipation of its new meal. She saw the small box and grabbed it when one of her hands was free. Meanwhile, Lind was working on Rose's feet. She spent much more time on Rose then she did on Thorn, since she knew this would be her last big meal in a while. After spending several minutes savoring the delicious flavor of Rose, she swallowed her feet, sending the rest of her prey into her stomach. She leaned back and watched the bulge go from her neck to her belly happily. She then lied on her back, patting her belly happily as she listened to the happy gurgles her stomach made.

Lind licked her expanded stomach happily as Rose opened the box, seeing the ring and the note. She tilted her head slightly as she saw the ring, but took the note out instead. She read the note to herself, even as the gastric acids began to sting. After she read the note, she felt her heart break, as well as the madness sphere's hold on her. Tears streamed from her eyes, burning up as the hit the boiling gastric acid. The note fell from her hands, landing and digesting in the acid. She closed the box and held it close to her chest, her tears still streaming. She couldn't find any words, not even a scream as the acid rose around her. Lind smiled, drifting to sleep happily, with a happily full and gurgling stomach.

As far as she thought, she deserved to die after causing the same to happen to Thorn. It had been her lack of strength that caused them to be captured in the first place. She fell, petrified with fear as a demon lashed out at her. Thorn, who could've escaped if he left her, jumped in front of her, taking the blow which knocked him out. Rose was horrified. She was knocked out before she could do anything, and woke up being dragged to Lind's cell. She then couldn't stop herself as she pushed Thorn into Lind's throat. The only time her feelings were able to show was went she was asleep. She wanted to sleep again, but not wake up without Thorn there. She accepted it, thinking it as he punishment. She curled up, hugging her knees to her chest, the ring box held in her hands as she sobbed, slowly crying herself into her endless sleep as the stomach acids rose around her…

THE END…

(JK)

Rose slowly opened her eyes, seeing white all around. First, she wondered if it was just a dream…then she looked for Thorn, but seeing absolutely nothing around her. She knew it wasn't a dream…she was dead…She sat down, wiping away tears that steamed down her face. She then felt a gentle hand on her shoulder, so she looked behind her. Thorn was standing there, expressionless. Rose stuttered, not sure of what to say. She couldn't look at him after what she had done. She sobbed quietly, looking at the ground as she said, "I…I'm so sorry Thorn…I'm sorry…I wanted to stop…I wanted to…but I couldn't…please forgive me…please…I'm sorry…"

Thorn lifted her back up to her feet, gently wiping away her tears and smiling warmly at her. "You are already forgiven Rose, I could never be mad at you…in fact…I was meaning to say something before the, uh, recent events…"

Thorn began to look through his jacket pockets, trying to find something frantically. "Uh…um…" He stuttered, trying to remember what he had written on the note. After a few key words came out, Rose knew what he was talking about and smiled softly. She pulled out the ring box, which she managed to bring with her. She handed it to Thorn. "I read the note…" She started. Before Thorn could say anything, Rose was hugging him gently. "And yes, I will marry you Thorn."

Thorn was surprised for a second, but smiled and hugged Rose back. "I love you Rose."

"As do I, Thorn." She said. They then smiled at each other and gently, yet passionately, kissed. They continued kissing, truly at bliss as they faded away in each other's arms.

Even in death, love can prevail…
