Chapter 44: Soul vs Soul

...20 minutes earlier...

'Caleb' had just finished cleaning the last of the pills on the floor in the bathroom. He hold the bottles up reading it.

"Pfft ha! 7.5 milligrams? The hell is your damage?", 'Caleb' scoffs with a laugh before going to the mirror looking at himself, "Hehe I kindin'. I already know...among other things about you now.", He smiles wickedly his eyes taking a green glow.

'Nnnhg let me go you fucking crazy ass-AHH!', the real Caleb screamed internally before being silenced.

"Now that's no way to talk to a lady or should I say man? Haha! Wow it has been awhile since I possessed a guy. Welp, first order of business let's check under the hood.", 'Caleb' says pulling his jogging pants down to his knees. He looks down at his equipment giving an impressed, "Hooweewee, good for you! Look at this tasty little hunk meat and nice big mmmanly balls! "

He emphasizes playing with his testicles and stroking his shaft much to the real Caleb's disgust

'Stop! Stop touching me! I mean STOP making me touch me! I mean J-JUST STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING!', real Caleb reprimanded

"Aww, but I was gonna try and make you shoot your hot load all over your clean bathroom floor.", 'Caleb' spoke deviously smiling.

'NO! JUST NO!'

"Eh, you're right. There'll be plenty of time for that later.", 'Caleb' pulls up his pants, "Right now, I still have a job to do. So, I think I'm gonna try out that teleporting thing of yours."

'Wait, wha-'

*zoom*

' Caleb' teleported out of the bathroom back into his bedroom looking around astonished.

"Ho-o-ollllly shit! That's cool! So it seems that horse wifey of your gave you some cool powers. Satella definitely know about THIS."

'Wha? Who the hell is Satella?!', real Caleb spoke as his outer self pick up his cell phone.

"Thaaaat's not something your pretty little dick over. I'm just getting in touch with my gals.", 'Caleb' spoke quickly texting a bunch of stuff to a number real Caleb didn't recognize then hitting send. A couple minutes there was a response, "Alrighty, that's done!"

"Who was that?! What did you just do?!", real Caleb screamed.

"Jeez, you sure are nosy. You know, women don't like that in a man. I mean you're sticking to those whores every night do you should.", 'Caleb' spoke in a jeering tone.

'You shut your DAMN mouth about the-ARRHH!', real Caleb screamed out feeling a jolt of pain through his astral form.

"You've got quite the mouth. In more ways than one, ha.", 'Caleb' chortled before raising his hand creating small purple spherical energy barrier before condensing it further into a purple fire-like aura and smiling wickedly, "Oh yeah, these might come in handy, such a strong vessel I got me. Ah! Almost forgot the most important thing!"

'Caleb' proceed pull down his pants, take his phone, and snap a picture of his flacid penis much to inner Caleb shock and confusion.

"The FUCK was that for?!"

"A momento. Don't worry about it.", 'Caleb' replied send the picture in a text message before turning to the door, "Alrighty tighty, let's get this show on the road."

'Caleb' exits the bedroom going into the living room where he could hear the girls talking about something.

...Present...

"Woo! Come on! That the best you got?!", 'Caleb' chortle furiously mashing the controller buttons playing a fighting game, Blazblue: Central Fiction, with Lyca. The She-wolf focused intently on the screen mashing her controller as well.

The whole time Mirabelle along with Zwei and Drei discreetly kept an eye on Caleb. His behavior was a bit different compared to when her first arrived but so far things seem fine.

'ASTRAL FINISH! Yuuki Terumi wins!', Came the sound of the game as the green haired game character on screen erupts in manic laughter entire body glowing with malicious green aura.

"Woooo! Three for three baby!", 'Caleb' hoots ecstatically celebrating another victory as Lyca sighs in defeat, "Lyca, baby, I love ya but ya fuckin SUCK at this game!"

"Hehe, yeah. I-I guess I still need to get used to it.", Lyca replied rubbing her head sheepishly while Mirabelle and two of the Zyklons, Zwei and Drei, casually observed.

"You seem to be feeling a bit chipper Dear.", Mirabelle says in calm tone.

"Yeah, well, what good will it do to keep worrying about what happened today. What's done is done. Am I right?", 'Caleb' replies nonchalantly.

Drei and Zwei look to each other.

"Yeah. It just seem like you got over it...REALLY fast.", Zwei replies in a scrutinous tone which 'Caleb' picked up on.

"Well, ever consider this is a new coping method I'm trying. Talk about insensitive!", 'he' replies as they each appear unsure how to respond before he continues, "Alright, you lose, Zwei, get little weasel ass over here and show me watcha got."

Zwei and the others look to each other before said wind weasel goes down as Lyca moves from her original spot hand the controller to her.

"Kay, but don't get cocky. Unlike Lycs, I'm a pro at games like these. Don't start whining when I beat you.", Zwei spoke challengingly looking at him.

'Caleb' smirks, "We'll see about that."

The two begin selecting their characters with 'Caleb' choosing Yuuki Terumi again and Zwei picking Bang Shishigami. Lyca observes the screen as Drei then leans close nudging Mirabelle to get her attention.

"So, you notice it too, right?", Drei whispered.

"...Yes.", Mirabelle whispered back reluctantly, "It's still Dear but..."

"Do you feel we should sedate him now before it gets worse?", Drei suggests taking out a few small darts coated in green oil.

"N-No. Please, p-perhaps it's just his way of coping like he said. Yes.", Mirabelle says keeping her voice down trying to sound assured which Drei didn't buy.

"Ms. Marequine...", Drei spoke noticing the fear in her voice.

'Caleb' looks at them suspiciously while the match started on screen. He then turns away when Drei noticing him staring.

...

Internally, Heather observes with annoyed look.

"Hmm, those two could be trouble. Especially that little slant eyed furry midget. She was with you today, wasn't she? Nnngh can't touch the Nightmare but that midgets has to go.", The ghost girl spoke glaring maliciously at the weasel girl.

"W-what do you mean? What are you planning to do?!", real Caleb stated in deep concern.

"Haven't decided yet. Unless youuu got some ideas nyahahaha.", Heather chuckled tracing her finger at his neck making him recoil away fearfully. She then notices his wrists, "Ooh, looks like I'm gonna have to hurry too. I'm already starting to suck you dry."

She pulls down his sleeves showing hideous yellowish-green glowing veins on his wrists which he looks at with horror.

"What...What is this?", real Caleb uttered.

"Ohhh shit! I better focus, this girl is pretty good", Heather stated ignoring him as she focuses on the game , "I'm gonna shut you up for awhile so I can concentrate, kay?"

"What the hell that-mmph! MMMMMMMPHH!", real Caleb uttered his mouth forcefully closed shut as if sealed together with industrial strength adhesive.

...

"Señor, Fajitas are ready!", Camilla says as a plate of 6 chicken fajita wraps goes floating over to him.

"Ah thanks babe.", 'Caleb' spoke taking the plate sitting in his lap then proceeds back to the game. A couple more bowls come levitating from the kitchen for Lyca and Mirabelle; a beef and seasoned rice meal and veggie burrito bowl with plenty of avocado respectively.

"I made you guys something too!", Ein called from the kitchen to her sisters.

"Something good I hope!", Zwei called back focused on her game as her character was getting pulverized in the corner. Lyca could be seen happily scarfing down her food along with Mirabelle casually eating and glancing at Caleb ever so often.

"How about you hope I don't leave in the chicken liver this time.", Ein replied.

"Ugh, I hate liver.", Zwei recoiled in disgust.

"I know!", Ein stated.

'ASTRAL FINISH!', the tv blares as Zwei jaw drops at losing 3 rounds in a row with one of her best characters.

"Ooooh SO close! Should've been paying attention instead of engaging in banter. Maybe you're not much of a pro after all.", 'Caleb' taunted the weasel before taking a bite of one of the frajitas instantly taken aback by how delicious it was.

"I-I was just warming up! Bang isn't even my best character. THAT title goes to my girl Makoto!", Zwei attested.

"Oh really? Think you can win next game against me at your best?", Caleb says raising an intrigued eyebrow, "How about we make it more...interesting?"

Zwei looks to him curiously as does Drei and Mirabelle, "How so?"

"Let's make a bet. Since it's you and Lyca against me, all three of us share in the punishment. Sound good?", 'Caleb' says as Lyca looks up with her mouth stuff upon hearing her name.

"Hmm...alright. Fine with you Lycs?", Zwei asks he She-wolf.

Lyca chews a bit more before gulping down, "Hahh, sure! I love a challenge when there are steaks! BOTH kinds!"

'Caleb' smirks wickedly, "Great. Basically, if I lose, I will become your and Lyca personal servants for 24 hours starting as soon as the game ends. Anything you guys want me to do. Anything."

Zwei pauses at thought, "A-Anything?"

"Yep. Of course if I win, then it's the other way around.", Caleb assures while Drei gives him a skeptical look.

Zwei minds drifts starting to imagine the various activities she could with that kind of power. A small lewd smile and blush cross her cheeks. She then looks to Lyca who nods emphatically.

"Alright, deal!"

The two begin the match with them picking their respective character. 'Caleb' takes the initiative but Zwei does let him keep it already proving her skills much to his intrigue. Mirabelle and Drei could still be seen observing him while Ein and Camilla could be heard having a small conversation in the kitchen. As the match continues, both of them wins a couple rounds and now on the last round. It was winner take all and Zwei could taste victory until 'Caleb' turns the tide resulting in another...

'ASTRAL FINISH!'

Zwei's jaw drops in disbelief with the controller limply dangling in her hand. Drei lightly shakes her head in disappointment.

"Ahaa! I win! GG! Get wrecked girl!", Caleb taunted doing the cabbage patch holding the fajita and controller.

"Aww we lost?", Lyca says in disappointment.

"Afraid so sweetheart.", Caleb in a patronizing tone, "And know what that means, don't you?"

Zwei sighs flopping her back to the couch arms folded, "Fine, what do you want?"

Caleb touches his chin in thought while looking at them with a sketchy gaze, "Let's see...hmmm Lyca?"

"Yes Chief?"

"Get down on all fours."

The request caught Lyca and the others off guard.

"H-Huh?"

"I. Want you. To get on all fours.", Caleb repeated with emphasis.

"D-Dear, why do you-"

"Uhbabab! Not talking to you, I'm talking you Moon pie. She agreed to do anything if I won. Now, hands and knees.", Caleb says in cold tone that unnerved the Nightmare a bit. Zwei looked more uneasy about the situation.

"I-It's fine. We did lose fair and square.", Lyca assured looking to her before moving from her seat on her hands and knees. Caleb smiles in satisfaction.

He then places the plate with two half-eaten fajita on the floor next to him.

"Come here doggy, got some scraps for ya.", Caleb spoke alarming them even more.

"Ok! That's just going too far!", Zwei stated getting to her feet.

"And how FAR would you have gone if it was reversed?", Caleb shot back.

Zwei was taken aback for a second with an embarassed blush, "N-Nothing like-"

"Zwei, it's alright.", Lyca assured crawling on all fours over to the plate.

"Lyca, you don't have to do it.", Mirabelle says in concern.

"She's right, it's just some stupid bet!", Zwei says glaring at Caleb who just give an indifferent look.

"No! He issued a challenge, we accepted, we lost, now we take our punishment.", Lyca affirms looking sadly over the scraps on the floor and proceeding to eat them to Mirabelle and Zwei's disbelief. Drei looks at the scene before noticing his right arms trembling.

"Yeah! Eat it up! You like that doggy? Go ahead, bark for master. Bark.", Caleb demanded as he suddenly grabs her hair forcing her face into the plate.

"W-Woof! Woof!", Lyca reluctantly uttered.

"Ok that's e-"

"Oh! Don't worry, didn't forget about you weasel girl. Come here.", Caleb says gesturing with her finger.

Zwei pauses reluctantly stepping toward him. He gestures to whisper in her ears.

"Ok, so I want you to...", he whispers something in her ear before she recoils back looking appalled, "Of course, if your too much of a coward while Lyca here is committed to seeing her punishment through."

Zwei notices Lyca looking up with food smeared on her cheeks with the pleading eyes of a puppy. She reluctantly steps back beginning to undo her sash on her waist and then starting to remove her clan's dressings to Mirabelle and Drei's shock. Camilla and Ein appear from the kitchen with the rest of the food curious of the noise in the living room. Their attention was immediately focused on Lyca on all fours and Zwei beginning to strip down to her underwear.

"Z-Zwei?! Ms. Kessler?! What are you doing?!", Ein stated

"Well we had ourselves a little bet and unfortunately they lost.", 'Caleb' explains as Zwei reluctantly removes her spandex.

"What KIND of a bet?", Camilla jumps displeased seeing Lyca eating off the floor like an animal.

"One where whoever lost would become the winners servants for a day. Which includes doing whatever they say.", 'Caleb' unflinchingly explains before turning to a now stripped down Zwei clad in green underwear and bra showing her petite yet curvaceous figure and perky C-cups which he appreciated, "Now, carry on Ms. Zwei."

"Fine, Mr. Bizzell.", Zwei spoke through clenched teeth in annoyance before getting on her knees, squishing he boobs together, and stating, "I'm a dirty pervert! I'm a DIRTY pervert!"

Caleb laughs, "HAHAHA come on, you can do better than that! Louder!"

Lyca looks up at Zwei having finished the food on the plate.

"I'M A HUGE PERVERT!", Zwei exclaims loudly much to shock of Mirabelle and the others and her embarassment.

"That's better!", Caleb spoke in a pleased tone before looking to Lyca, "Alright, Lyca, why don't you give the huge pervert a kiss on the lips?"

The other, especially Lyca and Zwei, we're very surprised by the request.

"OK, that's enough, sir!", Ein stated firmly.

"Don't you think you're taking this a bit too far Dear?!", Mirabelle stated in a worried tone.

"Am I? We're just having fun.", 'Caleb' replies looking to Zwei with a lecherous gaze.

"Do they LOOK like THEY'RE having fun?", Drei spoke in tone that caught his attention, "This wasn't your idea of fun before?"

"This isn't like you at all, Dear.", Mirabelle says with a deeply concerned look.

'Caleb' pauses unsure just how to answer before noticing the concerned and suspicious stares of the girls. He sighs to himself.

"Haaa, yeah, yeah you're right. That was over the line.", he relents, "Ok you two, bets off. You're released. Zwei get those clothes before ya catch cold now."

Zwei picks up her clothes looking a bit irritated as Lyca gets up from the floor.

"Sorry guys, guess I went a little overboard."

"Very much so, Señor.", Camilla spoke arms folded disapprovingly.

"Sorry Lyca, sorry Zwei.", he apologizes

"I-It's ok...Chief.", Lyca uttered not wanting to make eye contact.

"Yeah...", Zwei spoke a bit coldly patting Lyca's shoulder to comfort her. Ein puts the food down and asks about her sister who brushes her off not in the mood to talk. 'Caleb' senses the growing tension in the air deciding to diffuse it.

"Ok...I think that's enough games for one night. How about a movie while we you guys eat?" I'm already full. Fajitas we DElicious Camilla. 10 outta 10."

The others give him inquisitive looks uneasy at how quickly he moved past that.

"A-Alright, Dear. Let's watch a movie.", Mirabelle says much to the surprise of the others.

"Awesome! I know one you guys will like.", 'Caleb' says turning off the PlayStation then grabbing the remote turning on Hulu. He the notices to plate and food scraps on the floor, "Oop, forgot about that plate. Lyca you're a messy little eater. Don't worry I'll clean it up."

"Ok, Dear.", Mirabelle spoke with a smile while he goes to the kitchen for papertowels.

"Senora, what are ju-?", Camilla whispers to her as Drei and the others look to her.

"Shhh, it's fine.", Mirabelle cut her off.

"No it's not! You seen that shit right? He made Lycs eat off the floor like a PET!", Zwei retorted slipping her spandex back on while Lyca looks off shamefully.

"He's already demonstrating abnormal behavior. It's only a matter of time before-", Drei informs before Mirabelle cuts her off.

"No!", she stated just loud enough for her to hear, "We still don't know that. Please, just endure it. I'm sure he'll be ok.", she pleaded.

Drei and the others look to her unsure how to respond before Camilla jumps in.

"I agree with Señora. We cannot jump to conclusions too quickly.", she spoke before levitating a second bowl of fresh salad into the Nightmare lap. Mirabelle smiles appreciatively as Drei looks to her sisters.

"Are you alright, Lyca?", Mirabelle inquires.

"Yeah...just...had some bad memories is all. I'm with you too about Chief.", Lyca confirms putting on a brave face.

Suddenly, Caleb' appears humming a tune before starting to clean up the mess from the floor.

"Haaa, alright. We'll observe him a little longer but the second he starts something like that again, I'm sedating him.", Drei informs showing a dart in her sleeve.

"It's a deal.", Mirabelle complies.

"Whatcha guys talkin about?", Caleb spoke cheekily.

"N-Nothing in particular! *Munch* Mmm, splendid salad Camilla! Do I detect macadamia is this one?", Mirabelle spoke eating her food. Drei was still not convinced about their choice.

"Oh, the fried chicken is done you guys.", Ein says before presenting a plate of fried chicken and steamed rice to Drei who's nose immediately twitches befor accepting the plate, "It's fine. We'll act the moment we sense danger."

Drei reluctantly nods before Ein gives Zwei her plate.

"Oooh, that smells tasty!", Lyca say mouth beginning to water.

"Hehe, you can have some too Ms. Kessler.", Ein says before presenting a plate to her which the She-wolf happily accepts thanking her.

"Actually, that does smell good. Mind giving me some? I'm still a little hungry.", 'Caleb' spoke before pressing play starting the movie and taking a seat.

"Oh...not a problem sir"', Ein says before taking some chicken to 'Caleb'.

"Two juicy breasts and two juicy thighs thank you.", 'Caleb' says with toothy grin doing a double Peace sign.

"Umm...they're not really WHOLE pieces.", Ein clarifies lowering herself a bit give him the plate.

He smirks raising an eyebrow noticing the curvaceous outline of her large breasts in her green kunoichi robes and accepts the food saying "Well they look like perfectly fine pieces of meat to me. And you know black folks when it comes to they meat. Thanks hun."

Ein notices the hunger in his gaze seeing he looking at her chest. She quickly raises back up with an embarassed and uncomfortable blush, "Y-You're welcome."

She quickly turns away quickly going to the other side of the room as 'Caleb' sank his teeth in the tender, crispy meat staring at the Karmaitaichi plump rear. Ein sits down instinctively hugging her sides wanting to cover herself feeling dirty. Mirabelle and Camilla were of her behavior but didn't press her. Meanwhile, Drei noticed the entire thing, and was glaring at 'Caleb'. He noticed and shot a glare back aggressively biting into the meat.

The next hour was spent watching the movie, a horror movie called 'Doctor Sleep' as they finished eating. The girls, especially Mirabelle, found the story rather interesting with ideas of addiction/dependence, facing inner demons, and embracing one's true strength. Although, much of the time, they distracted by 'Caleb' blurting out certain details ruining any sense of immersion. Then there was the scene in the movie where the cultists, 'True Knot', torture a little boy to death while consuming his life force. Throughout, 'Caleb' was heartily laughing at the scene which greatly disturbed Mirabelle and the others.

Now it was they at the climax of the film. Camilla and Ein had taken up the dishes and utensils and were now washing dishes. Camilla offered to use her magic to clean them but Ein simply wanted an excuse to not be in the living room for a few minutes. The others continue watching the scene of the movie were the main characters arrive a the Overlook hotel for the final showdown.

Caleb slaps his palms making Mirabelle and Lyca flinch, "Oho here we go! I love this part right here.", he stated seeing the 'True Knot' leader enter the mind of the female lead.

Mirabelle and the other's anxiety had been steadily growin. It was becoming difficult for Mirabelle to stay calm. She knew he was slowly getting worse and didn't know what to do.

"Hm, I'm thirsty. Brb.", Caleb says before raising up going to the kitchen. Drei's eyes follow him getting an uneasy feeling in her gut and not just from all the fried chicken.

Caleb enters the kitchen seeing Ein and Camilla at the sink. One washing the other drying and levitating them into cabinets and speaking softly about something.

"Sup, girls?", he spoke with a wide smile getting their attention.

"Ah, sir, s-something wrong?", Ein inquires as Camilla gives her an look.

"I should be asking you guys.", Caleb says strutting over to them getting in between, "Been having quite a few little powwows tonight. I'm starting to suspect there's something going on behind my back."

Camilla and Ein discretely exchange looks both not wanting to alarm him and exacerbate his condition.

"Not at all, Señor.", Camilla assures he inches closer, "Ju had a terrible day and do not want to trouble ju with unnecessary stress."

"Yeahhh, but I'm managing. Besides...", Caleb spoke resting a hand to each of their backs, making Ein flinch, beginning to caresses their upper backs, "I can't be stressed with pretty young things like you guys around."

Camilla and Ein shudder feeling his hands working their way down lower backs. He then slaps Ein on the butt making her gasp loudly and surprising Camilla.

"S-Stop!", Ein stated quickly pulling away, "T-This is not appropriate! I'm your bodyguard! Nothing more!"

Mirabelle and the other girls turn to kitchen curious of what was happening.

"I know you are. But you know my body includes all the equipment that come with it.", 'Caleb' emphasizes grabbing his crotch at her making her eyes widen in shock, "Now come guard my body with that body."

Ein deeply blushes in embarassment quickly backing out of the kitchen actually bumping into Drei almost knocking her down.

"Ein?", "Sis?", Drei and Zwei spoke simultaneously.

"Sorry! I need to step for some air!", Ein stated hiding her flustered, shameful face while hurrying out the front door slamming.

"What did you do to her?", Zwei demanded.

"Hm, that's a shame.", Caleb shrugged ignoring her before turning to Camilla, "So whaddaya helping me relieve some stress my muy caliente queen?", he spoke closing in on her grabbing a handful of her latina booty.

"Get off me!", Camilla instinctively stated shoving him away to his surprise. She didn't want to do it but the way he was talking and how he touched her was not like him. It more like her ex-husband.

"Wha? You're giving me blue balls too?!", 'Caleb' stated incredulously.

"Don't ignore me! What did you do to our sister?!", Zwei stated more firmly. Mirabelle and Lyca for up joining them as the movie continued to play in the background.

"Apparently, he WAS thirsty just not for diet Dr. Pepper.

"Gross. Why the hell would I want DIET Dr. Pepper?", 'Caleb' recoiled in disgust.

Huge red flag; the girls eyes widen and jaw drop in profound shock. The man who would LITERALLY replace his blood with the drink if he could just rejected said drink. Mirabelle looks to Drei and nods.

"Dear...", Mirabelle spoke approaching him carefully, "Listen to me...you are not well...you are not acting like yourself at all."

"Oh? And how exactly AM I acting?", 'Caleb' asks resting his elbows to the counter, chin to his palms, as Drei stealthily maneuvers around him.

"You're...you're not you, Chief.", Lyca says.

"Oh please...", Caleb utters rolling as Drei taking out the small vial and dart coating the tip.

"It is true.", Camilla says glaring intently at him, "Ju are never like this. Never."

Caleb grins in disbelief scoffing at her beginning to pace as Drei makes a crossbow with her fingers aiming the dart for his lower neck.

"We want to help you. Please, let us help you.", Mirabelle appeals as Drei readies the injection.

" 'Help' huh? Does that help include Drei trying to stick me with whatever is in that dart.", 'Caleb' says looking over his shoulder at the little weasel who fires the dart with pressurized air only for it to get repelled by a small barrier to her and Mirabelle surprise. He then turns to Drei to with a malicious gleam in his eye, "Wanna explain there, huh Legal Loli?"

Drei gives a slightly annoyed look before saying, "We believe it's possible you were infected with a parasite. The same one Burns was afflicted with."

His smile vanishes replaced with a malign frown, "Parasite?", he breaths through clenched teeth.

"Yes and for yours safety, and our own, we have to sedate you for the time being. You're already showing behavior similar to Burns.", Drei advises taking out another dart primed and ready.

'Parasite huh?', Heather spoke from with his head her anger building.

"I'LL TELL YA WHO'S A PARASITE! YOU FUCKING WHORES IN MY LIFE!", 'Caleb' blurted out.

Mirabelle and the others were taken aback as the front opens shuts with Ein stepping inside having got some fresh air...and underwear.

"I-I'm back. What did-", Ein says with a lingering feeling of shame before he interupts.

"OH GOOD! The extra THICC weasel's back! Surprised you got out the door with that fat ass!", Caleb stated making Ein gives a horrified look at being called fat.

Hey! YOU don't get talk about my sister like that! Only I can do that!", Zwei jumps in mostly defending her, "You've been acting like a total asshole since settled in!"

"I don't need to take any lip from fucking PERVERT like you. Trust me, I KNOW one when I see one! You seemed reeeaaal interested in our bet earlier. I can only imagine what you had planned for me and the dog over if I lost!"

Zwei was shocked speechless at being outed.

"Chief, stop! Don't be mean to Zwei!", Lyca stated

"SHUT THAT BARKING YOU RETARDED MUTT!", Caleb shouted at her making her jump back in fear, "This is why nobody in your old pack loved you because you're a stupid, WEAK, WORTHLESS, BITCH and you always will be!"

Mirabelle and the others were shocked. Lyca body trembles as tears starts pouring from her eyes and unintelligible whimpers escape her lips before she falls to her knees as if looking the strength to stand.

"Lyca!", Mirabelle and Zwei exclaim going to her side. 'Caleb' smirks in satisfaction. With his subconscious, the real Caleb anguished at the scene tears welling calling out to Lyca but no sound could escape his sealed lips. Not anyone would hear him anyway.

Camilla grabs him by the shirt collar forcefully slamming him against the wall holding him up him with one arm. Her ruby red demonic eyes filled with rage.

"Camilla wait-!", Mirabelle stated in panic.

"No Señora! Regardless of the circumstance, will NEVER allow this behavior in my life again!", Camilla stated furiously.

"Hahaha, you serious? You really gonna kill your 'Destined One'?", Caleb spoke sardonically.

Camilla eyes widen for moment clenching her harder around his collar.

"Haha, go ahead! Add to the body count. Your mother sure thought so when she abandoned you. She had sense to see what a monster she made", Caleb uttered the last part lowly for her to hear before grabbing her wrist.

Camilla eyes widen as memories of her mother flashed before her stopping the image of her horrified face when she brutally killed those men. Her grip loosens and 'Caleb' pushes her off making her stumble back before catching herself at the counter. A mix of anger and anguish on her face.

"I think it was a good you DID lose those babies. Someone like you isn't FIT to raise a child!", Caleb to berate her as Mirabelle and the others listen horrified by his words.

"Stop it...", Camilla utter softly.

"Only thing you're fit to be is a sex toy. I bet you got lots of recommendations from those dudes in the cartel.", 'Caleb' taunted strutting closer swaying his arms as if without a care.

"I SAID STOP!", Camilla screams out threateningly in her demonic voice her voice cracking near the end as she fights back her tears. A red magic seal repeatedly forms and unforms in her palm conflicted about using the spell.

"Tch, typical of the Devil. Can't get your way so you resort to intimidation and violence.", he spoke noticing her struggling and leans closer, "There's no way in hell I'd EVER want a child by a murderous demon slut like you."

Camilla feels a sharp pain in her chest as if a knife had just pierced her chest and then twisted. She covers her mouth trying to muffle her sobs as tears flow down her cheeks.

Within his mind, real Caleb watches in shear horror and sorrow as Camilla struggles to contain her sob. He then feels his anger building as his eyes begin to glow purple and stream of purple electricity shoots up his right arm through his restraints.

"Please...stop...", Mirabelle shakily utters looking to him with tear-filled eyes, "This...ISN'T you, Dear. It's whatever is inside you. You would never say these awful things. Please...stop all this and let us help you. We love you and we want to help you."

Camilla and the others look to her as Caleb turn with an indifferent expression.

"Love? That's what you call it?", Caleb spoke much to her surprise as he continues, "I just call it 'fun'. You are all funny to me. Acting like I give a shit about your problem, when all I want are those benefits for taking you animals in. Monthly payments from the government, time off work, hell even get to fuck you whenever I want. You think I ever loved any of you?"

Mirabelle and the others hearts sank with ever word her spoke trying to fully grasp the reality of the situation.

"Especially you, my literal horse 'wife'.", Caleb emphasized, "You thought I really loved you huh? No. Why would I love a sheltered, immature, worthless coward that almost left me to die?!"

Mirabelle shakes her head refusing to believing what she was hearing, "No. You...you don't mean that.", she spoke choking back her sobs.

"Get this through you THICK purple head for dumb fucking horse. I. Don't. Love. You!", 'Caleb' emphasizes as, within, real Caleb struggles to break loose of his restraints desperate to get to Mirabelle.

Mirabelle eyes widen feeling her heart on the verge of shattering, "No..."

"Yes! Jesus, now I see what Jason through.", Caleb says incredulously.

Mirabelle eyes widen feeling am indescribable despair that began to envelop her heart to where she was struck silent unable to conjure a single word anymore.

...

Inside his head, real Caleb could Mirabelle heartbroken expression and the person causing her and others pain standing next to him laughing.

...

"Hahahaha! Oh this is just too good! Hahahahaha!", Heather laughs hysterically holding her sides as Caleb glares at her with pure hate clenching her teeth growling and pulling at the chains. Heather takes notice of him, "Ohh, what's wrong? Did I hurt your girlfriends feelings? Well, technically, YOU did. Guess she's learning the hard way never to give your heart to anyone."

"You BITCH!", Caleb stated feeling pure rage building as purple lightning ripples around him and through his restraint.

"Give up! You'll never break free of my grasp. Now, if you'll excuse me I have a show to finish.", Heather stated vanishing in a green of green smoke. Caleb struggles with the restraints even more as mores purple spark pulsars from his body. A crack in one of the chains starts forming.

...outside...

"Are you done?", Drei inquires.

Caleb notices her gives a slightly irritated look not answering.

"I asked you a question.", Drei says in tone laced with venom, "Are you fine torturing the women in your life who love you? If so, I advise you to take the sedative...now."

"And if I refuse?", 'Caleb' says challengingly.

"Maybe I wasn't being specific. You are GOING to take this sedative even if it's by force. You may be our client but you are also currently a biohazard that must be dealt with.", Drei spoke readying the dart as Ein took a position block his path and Camilla does the same have regained a little of her composer. Mirabelle and Lyca look to him sadly as Zwei helps completely box him in. Caleb looks between them seeing they weren't giving him any options.

"It's gonna be like that huh?", 'Caleb' spoke shaking his head, "Fine...the easy way would've been boring. *zoom*"

He quickly teleports behind from the group to their surprise and quickly grabs a nearby gutting knife making a horizontal stab for Drei's neck. The weasel quickly leans backwards avoiding the attack while extending her small blades knocking the blade from his hand sending it flying across the room. She twists her body a full 360 degrees ( mustelid spine) grabbing his arms about to inject the serum before he teleports away again making he fall to the floor on all fours.

Caleb appears standing atop the couch laughing boisterously as body proceeds to glow with purple aura with eyes taking on a menacing purple hue and malicious toothy smile crossing his lips.

"Boss, don't make us do this!", Zwei stated getting in attack position a bit reluctantly.

"I think we're past talking, Pervert.", Caleb stated as purple flamelike aura covered his arms growing denser while her smirks in intrigue, "Hmm, let's give this a try. DEEP PURPLE!"

He fires a the purple aura at Zwei but she quickly dodges overhead as it impacts with a loud explosives pulse leaving the floor and stools scorched. Zwei bounces off the air about to tackle him but he repels her back with a barrier. While distracted Ein knock him off balance from behind about to pin him on his stomach to the couch. He quickly teleports, to her surprise next to her and attempts to knee her in the head which she instinctively blocks with her elbow but gets repelled by a pulse of purple aura knocking her on her back. 'Caleb' smiles in satisfaction about to pounce on her. Suddenly, Lyca grabs him from behind restraining his arms.

"Chief! Please stop! Please!", the She-wolf cried out desperately as her struggled in her grasp. Mirabelle watches in horror at the chaos around her wanting and praying just for everything to go back to normal. Zwei rushes over with some rope to assist her.

"Get OFF ME, mutt!", Caleb shouted at her before teleporting out grasp then performing a judo throw tossing the werewolf right into Zwei. Zwei catches her and the hit the floor before eyes widen in shock seeing him charging another blast of purple aura smiling maliciously.

...

Inside, real Caleb could get seen thrashing and struggling to get free a Heather laughs happily watching the show and ignoring him. His breathing was rapid and sharp barely containing his seething rage as purple jolts of electricity pulsars from all over his body. More of the chains start cracking.

...

'Caleb' fires at them but it's blocked by a large blue magic seal. The shockwave blowing a section of the couch back and flipping the coffee table over. He turns to Camilla seeing her glaring at him. He takes one steps and is immediately stopped by several green magic seals surrounding him.

"Do not take uno mas step, Señor!", Camilla threatens

"Or what? You gonna kill me too?", Caleb accuses in a jeering tone.

"I would NEVER hurt ju Senor...but I will stop ju.", Camilla spoke sadly while glaring as if urging herself to proceed.

"Well GET ON WITH IT THEN YOU WORTHLESS MURDERING WHORE!", Caleb screams at her.

Camilla reluctantly snaps his fingers green surges on electricity illuminates his body.

"AHHHHHHhhhhhhhh...", Caleb hollers out loud before dying it down showing her was faking and totally fine, "Just kidding."

Camilla gives a profoundly confused expression.

"Surprised? You must've known I can create BARRIERS including less visible ones to cover my whole body if I got enough stamina. Which I'm starting to get low on, so I'll just hurry up.", 'Caleb' says before teleporting out of the magic seal trap, to Camilla shock, appearing behind her immediately grabbing her tail.

"NNNAAGH!", Camilla screams out feel her body tremble becoming weak.

"Yeah, I bet that feels good but how about THIS!?", 'Caleb' stated yanking her tail hard forcing down on her hands and knees as she whimpers.

"S-Senor...por fa vor...", Camilla utters from the pain looking to him pleadingly.

"Heh, how pitiful, such an obvious weakspot.", 'Caleb' taunted before grabbing a nearby butcher knife positioning it at the midsection to her horror, "How's about I remove that weakness?"

"No! NONONONO!", Camilla pleaded furiously shaking her head with tears in her eyes.

"Stop!", Ein called out wanting to rush him but afraid what he'll do to Camilla.

'Caleb' smiles licking his lips at her now pathetic demeanor.

Inside, real Caleb could be seen straining prepared to tear his arm from their sockets get to free from his restraints. His eyes with purple flames of seering rage as ripples of purple energy emanated from his body. The cracks in the restraints propagate more and more.

"STOP!", Mirabelle called out getting his attention falling to her knees in despair. She looks to him with waterfalls of tears pouring down her cheeks, "I'm begging you please, stop."

'Caleb' looks to her a moment then places the butcher knife down. He then teleports in front of her, kneels down, and siezes her by the throat with one hand.

"Mira!", Lyca stated trying to approach as do the others.

...

Insides, real Caleb was now at his breaking point. The cracks in the chains spreading more and more.

...

"Get the fuck back before I rip her throat out!", Caleb threatens as the others come to a halt. He then looks back to Mirabelle who looked back him trembling with fear and gasp for air, "You better be glad we need you alive bitch."

Mirabelle had no idea what he meant as a hurricane of emotions filled her mind. 'Caleb' then looks down at her skirt with a perverted grin.

"Of course, who's to say I can't have some fun?", he spoke lifting her skirt as she shut her eyes. The others watch in horror.

...

Inside, real Caleb had enough using all the strength he had forces his own lips leaving bloody patching of ripped skin and, with all his might, screams.

"MOON PIE!"

...

This chains break and the platform crumble much to the shock of Heather as purple energy surged throughout the area. Caleb falls to the floor glaring at her intensely before charging at her full speed like a quarterback.

"What the fu-GAH!", Heather screamed before getting tackled to the floor.

Back to Mirabelle, her eyes were shut but she suddenly hears a voice echo in her head. A loud, very familiar voice. Dear's voice. He removes his grip from her neck as she looks to him confused seeing his blank expression noticing the look in his eyes had changed. He removes his trembling hand at her skirt balling it to a fist. To everyone's surprise, he slugs himself hard in the face knocking himself back to the floor. He flails on the floor striking himself in stomach and across the face giving himself a bloody nose. The girls were profoundly confused seeing the man now beating HIMSELF up. All the while, making a kind of distorted groaning sound

He flips himself over grabbing his throat with both hands proceeding to choke himself.

...

Inside, real Caleb had Heather pinned to floor choking her as tried prying him find the purple energy rippling throughout her ghostly form causing pain. Actual pain.

Outside, Mirabelle rushes to him attempting stop him.

"DEAR!"

"Gahh s-stay...away...moon pie..."

Mirabelle stops in her tracks hearing his voice in her head again then seeing the pleading expression in his eyes as he choked himself. There was a twinkle in his eye that caught her attention as he continued to strangle himself.

"Get back Señora!", Camilla says stepping in front of her shielding her while unsure of what to make of the scene.

Inside, Caleb and Heather struggled on the floor.

"Get offa me! I can't control this space with you on top!", Heather stated struggling to get free.

"Fucking bitch! You're gonna pay! You fuck with MY girls, you're gonna PAY!", He barked at her

"Let me go! What is even your plan?! You gonna kill yourself...for them?!", Heather screamed telepathically.

"If that's what it takes, yeah", Caleb spoke back with a serious look in his eyes.

Heather eyes widen in shock and fear, "W- WHAT ARE YOU, SUICIDAL?!"

"YOU FUCKED WITH MY HEAD LONG ENOUGH! YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT BY NOW.", Caleb screamed back as the atmosphere grew heavy and the window to the outside began flickering out

Heather started to panic. She always ditched a body right BEFORE they were gonna die. She knew if she stayed any longer she'd end up dying with his soul.

"NO! LET GO! LET ME OUT. GIVE ME ANOTHER BODY. GIVE ME THAT DEVIL'S BODY!", Heather screamed desperately punching and clawing at Caleb to get free. He would not let go no matter what.

"YOU'RE NOT GET ANY BODY! YOU STUCK WITH MY SHIT FOREVER BITCH!"

Right as he says that, he feels a sharp pain in his chest and his entire body feels numb as before he collapses lifeless on top of Heather. She struggles to pry his heavy body off to know avail. She notices the windows of soul growing darker as fear crept through his senses that this was the end.

...

Outside, Drei knelt by his body have stuck the sedative covered dart in his chest. His breathing slows as he releases his neck going unconcious. Drei stood up looking to him a bit sadly.

"D-Drei, look! His arms!", Zwei pointed out in panic.

Drei looks shocked to see the same makes as Burns spreading up his arms starting from the wrists. She look to Mirabelle and the rest seeing the fearful expressions. She sighs realizing it was too late and clenching her fists. Mirabelle looks to Caleb feeling as if something was calling to her.

...Some time later...

The Zyklons brought Caleb to their house, while making sure not to touch the marks or fear of contracting the parasite, keeping him contained in the panic room. Drei chose to monitor his condition closely while keeping him sedated with moderate doses of her medicine.

Meanwhile, Ein and Zwei were busy attempting to do damage control among the girls. It was quiet. Camilla, Lyca, and Mirabelle sat in different parts of the living room not talking. All still reeling from the events that have transpired in their once peaceful home. Ein made some tea to try calm their nerves but they didn't accept it. Zwei looks to Ein unsure of what to do before suddenly the front door unlocks catching their attention and in steps Drei. The girls immediately rise up going to her.

"Sis! H-How is he?", Zwei asked in a worried tone.

Drei pauses seeing the expectant looks on their faces. She sighs, "The marks have spread to his upper and lower neck and his vital signs are dropping steadily. His body is fighting the parasite but it isn't enough. At this rate...I'm afraid he'll be dead by morning."

The news hit the others like enormous weight crushing their chests. The pain they felt was indescribable as if someone had stabbed a blade through their chest cutting up to their heart.

"No.", Lyca utters tail clenches between her legs as she stumble backwards back hitting the couch as sliding to a seated position while clenching her aching chest, "NO NO NO NO NO! CHIEF!", she cries shaking her head.

Zwei reaches to her but stops seeing the sheer pain in her eyes. Tears started forming in hers as well.

Mirabelle stood dead silent trying to comprehend what she just heard. It had to be a mistake. There's no way this was happening! It didn't make sense! It HAD to be some cruel, sick joke!

"Lies.", Camilla utters her body trembling. The others look to her and were caught off guard when she snatches up Drei by her collar slamming her up against the door, "JU ARE LYING!"

"Ms. Sartana!", Ein stated ready to restrain her before Drei gestures her 'No'.

"I'm not lying to you. This is the truth.", Drei spoke plainly irritating the Elder Devil.

"NO!", Camilla yells in anger slams her against back against the door again, "Ju are just being lazy! If ju call yourself a healer THEN GET OVER THERE AND HEAL HIM!"

"I don't know what I'm dealing with. If I administer drugs at random I risk spreading the infection even more or worse. We were too late.", Drei spoke as Mirabelle and the rest watch them.

"NO! Ju are not TRYING hard enough. Ju cannot say that mi Destino is going to die! THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!", Camilla screams in rage and sadness before forming a red magic seal in Drei's face, "I do not care what it takes, what we need or how much more blood I must spill, just SAVE him!"

Drei touches her arm tenderly to Camilla surprise, "I know. But you have to believe me. I've done all I could for now."

Camilla expression softens a moment before clenching her eyes to stifle the sobs. She tosses Drei to the floor behind her, "I do not know WHY I'm wasting time with ju. It YOUR fault this happened to him! Fine. I will help him myself.", she spoke turning to the front door.

"Stop! You'll just get yourself infected too!", Drei stated picking herself up as Ein rushes past her.

"I will take my chances.", Camilla says opening the door only for Ein to force it shut.

"Listen to her, Camilla! You don't know what you're doing!"

"Get out of the way.", Camilla glared at her red aura radiated from her body. Ein stands her ground refusing to let her through.

"No. You have to list-", Ein spoke glaring back at her.

Camilla quickly forms a stack of three red magic seals at her fist throwing a punch at Ein. The wind weasel dodges deflecting the attack off it's course then delivering a solid jab into her stomach making Camila lurch forward from the blow before delivering a knee kick that the sent the Elder Devil back a few feets Camilla grunts from the pain glaring at Ein who stood over her.

"C-Camilla, ple-!", Mirabelle utters but Camilla ignores rushing the busty weasel.

"RHAAA!", Camilla screams throwing a series of punches and kicks with Ein skillfully managing to block or dodge them. Suddenly, Camilla unfurls her wings performing a spin move that smacks Ein across the face then following with an uppercut to the weasel's jaw. Ein stumbles back to her sister surprise holding her jaw and spitting a little blood before looking to Camilla angrily hissing and baring her fangs.

"Hey! Hey come on sis! Stop!", Zwei stated.

Ein goes into a fighting dance as Camilla rushes her again. Two engage throwing fists and kicks back and forth both blocking and dodging but each getting a bit into the other. Mirabelle watches with a deeply saddened look as her family was falling apart.

"Stop fighting! STOP!", Lyca cried out holding the sides of her head as Ein and Camilla interlock attempting to pin the other to the counter knocking over chairs and items left on top.

Mirabelle felt her heart racing and breathing heavily as purple energy began to build around her body.

"Knock it off you two!", Zwei stated as she and Drei tried to separate the two of them. Camilla curses at Ein who hurls her own insults back.

"STOOOPP!", Mirabelle shouts as a pulse of purple aura ripples throughout the rooms covering everyone. Immediately, their bodies go numb ceasing any action and their eyes become glazed over as silence befell the room. The Nightmare catches her breath a moment before noticing what she's done and quickly releases her hold on their psyches. They all sharply gasp collecting their surroundings.

"All of you...stop this.", Mirabelle spoke sadly trembling before teleporting out of the room leaving them alone. Lyca frowns hugging her knees as Camilla and Ein slide down to the floor losing any will to fight instead feeling shame. Zwei looks plops down unsure what to do anymore.

"I do not understand.", Camilla spoke somberly as Ein looks to her wiping the blood from her mouth, "Everything was fine this morning. We were so happy. I was happy...for the first time in years I was happy. So why?"

"Camilla...", Ein spoke going to her side.

"The worst part is...I still love him. Despite everything he said I STILL love him.", Camilla utters her voice cracking as breaks into sobbing, "POR QUE?!"

Ein pulls her into a hug which Camilla doesn't resist the gesture. Lyca crawls to whimpering as well before embracing Camilla as well. Zwei covers her eyes hiding her tears as Drei hung her head down before stand up.

"It's not his fault. Remember NONE of what he said is how he truly feels. He's just sick. He's just sick...", Drei assured with a low tone before turning around, "I'm going to monitor him. I'll call when I'm sure it's sage to see him...one last time."

"Ok.", Zwei spoke in a hollow tone.

Drei exits the house still hearing Camilla and Lyca sobbing from behind the door and takes a deep breath and exhales before proceeding. It was going to be a long night.

...Mirabelle's room...

The Nightmare stood by her window clutching her sailor moon doll softly whimpering. She looks up at the night sky to the crescent moon hand overhead contemplating everything he told her and how THOSE would be his last words to her. She then remembers the voice she heard in her head. HIS voice calling out to her. Whatsmore, she remembered sensing a strange energy from within him much different from normal. Then there was that spark in his eye when he strangled himself.

Mirabelle grips the plush tighter resolving to get to the bottom of this.

...In the panic room...

Caleb lays on the couch unconcious breathing lethargically as the markings slowly spread. The skin on his face could be seen peeling as tiny open sores appeared on his arms

Drei could be seen wearing a small green ICEP issued hazmat suit( a personal request of hers) and administering a drug to help lessen his pain. She looks to him somberly seeing how much he was suffering. Camilla was right. This was her fault. She should've chosen him.

"I'm sorry.", Drei whispered removing the syringe.

Only thing now she could do was take away his pain even a little. What else could she do?

...inside Caleb's head...

"Uh...aghh...wha?", real Caleb groan stirring himself awake seeing he was on the floor surrounded in a void of blackness. He tried to stand only to collapse back down as his legs had no strength. He groans before pulling up his jogging pant legs seeing the hideous glowing yellow veiny mark horried to find them covering his arms and even his torso. A sudden intense pain shoots through every nerve in his body as yellow sparks pulsate from the veiny marks. It was worse than when Azaeli tortured him.

"Well, look who's finally awake.", remarks Heather as she materialized from green miasma in front of him, "Gotta say, you had me pretty scared there for a while. I actually I would be joining you at the pearly gates. Aka the glory hole at the truck stop in Tuscaloosa. You know the one."

"Nnnnghh w-whats happening to me?", Caleb spoke weakly feeling another wave of pain wash over him.

" 'Possession Poisioning' at least that's what I call it, not sure about other ghosts. Basically, I've just about drained your soul for all it's worth. Might I add your spirit energy is fucking delicious, although...I would much preferred taking it the old fashioned way.", Heather chortle pulling up her shirt exposing a ripple ghostly tail rubbing an are and show her womanhood that leaked neon green ooze, "You lasted longer than expected. Be happy, many girls wouldn't give a guy that kinda feedback. However..."

Heather appears in front of him. A greenish-white miasma appears on Caleb's neck chocking him as she telekinetically lifts him up. She glared angrily her eyes glowing a menacing green.

"That little stunt you pulled royally PISSED me off! You could've killed me probably! This power of yours comes from that Nightmare huh? It's some crazy shit but not crazy enough to save you.", Heather spoke coldly clenching her fist as Caleb gag clawing at the miasma before green electric jolts light up his body making him elicit choke cries in pain. The glowing veins spread further now covering his face. Heather throwing her head back in orgasmic bliss before smiling wickedly, "Ohhh GOD you're good, baby. Of all the souls I've consumed, yours is the best. God your good!"

Caleb's arms and legs go limp as his body flickers as if his form was becoming unstable. Heather releases him letting him fall to his back motionless. His gaze was unfocused but he could still comprehend his surroundings. Heather then straddles his chest rubbing up his chest hungrily.

"Shhh relax baby and become part of me and live on for eternity with the others. As soon as I take you, I'll leave this vessel and take the closest one nearby. And it looks like that happens to be the loli weasel. HA! I still can't believe they're actually sisters! Personally, I'd prefer the bigger thiccer one or definitely that thicc ass Devil.", Heather spoke drooling at the thought.

Caleb gave a horrified look before noticing the surroundings changing rippling with shades of purple aura and mist. Heather then grabs his neck with both hands strangling him.

"You like this? Did know choke sex was you kink too. Why don't you relax and give in already. It's not like those girls will miss you when you're gone. Not after everything you said.", Heather spoke teasingly.

"Moon...pie...", Caleb uttered as Heather notices he wasn't even looking at her.

"Ha...HaHAHAHAHAHA ARE YOU SEROUS!? Pretty lame last words.", Heather taunted choking him harder, "She can't hear you. Nobody can. It's just you and me here."

"Actually...", came another voice that caught Heather off guard before-

STAB

"GAHHH!", Heather screamed lurching backward off Caleb seeing a blade impaled through her torso. She looks behind her eyes widen in shock as Caleb looks behind her a small smile growing seeing his wife. Mirabelle stood over them with her DreamScythe surrounded in flame-like purple aura with pure rage in her glowing purple eyes.

"I can hear MY Dear just fine!", Mirabelle stated before lifting Heather off of and tossing her across space as she hollered out.

She turns to Caleb hurrying to see about him kneeling down horrified at the glowing veins covering him head to toe.

"Moon...pie...", Caleb utters.

"It's alright. I'm here my love."

"Sorry...so sorry...It wasn't me...", Caleb uttered getting teary eyed before she wipes his tears away.

"I know. I know it wasn't. Now please save your strength.", Mirabelle reassures before looking to where she tossed Heather seeing her standing, so to speak, huffing as the sound healed while glaring at Mirabelle viciously. Mirabelle raises to her feet brandishing her scythe, "I'll protect you."

"So, the prissy purple prewd makes her appearance. Given what I saw about you from his memory I figured you'd be crying yourself all night for mean things your man said.", Heather taunted puffing her bottom lip making the 'Boohoohoo' gesture with her hands.

"You. It was you all along making Dear act like a complete goon! Who and what are you?!", Mirabelle demanded unaware of small plumes of green miasma forming below her.

"Name's Heather and I'm a ghost. Now if we're done with the interview...*snap*", Heather snaps her fingers as the green miasma clouds explode enveloping Mirabelle body. However, Mirabelle swings her scythe cleaning multiple times through the thick green energy completely dispelling it.

Suddenly, Heather appears behind her with her nails extended into razorsharp blades about to slash her but Mirabelle blocks her with a barrier. She swings her scythe at the ghost making a few cuts in the space around her but not hitting the ghost. Heather dodges just in time putting a bit of distance between them. She then notices how Mirabelle was positioning herself to prevent her from getting close to Caleb.

"Ohh, I see you don't want me getting close to him. Well sorry to break it to ya War Horse but he's good as dead. I've just about drained him dry of all his spirit energy. So why don't you be a good little Nightmare, put the scythe down and come quietly before anyone else gets hurt. I've got a mission to carry out. I don't wanna have to resort to drastic-er urges.", Heather propositions.

Mirabelle looks to Caleb a second gripping her scythe then back to Heather, "Out there, you said you needed me alive. I presume that means I'm who you're after."

"Bingo! Look at you catching on quick."

"If that's the case, then leave my Dear out of this! I'll do whatever you ask just spare him! Give him back the spirit energy you've taken!", Mirabelle stated.

"Hmm, interesting proposal buuut you've got it all wrong. You think we JUST want you?! Don't flatter yourself! Our client wants to see him dead!", Heather stated in cheerful sadistic tone.

Mirabelle eyes widen in shock before gripping her scythe tighter, "I see."

"Hm?"

"You said 'we' and 'our'. I can guess there are others like you. Not ghosts perhaps. Otherwise, I'd be swarmed by now.", Mirabelle says looking to Heather, "Allies of yours? How many?"

Heather gives and annoyed frown, "Tch, as if I'd tell you goddamn thing!", she stated before compressing a ball green miasma and firing it at Mirabelle with intense speed. It explodes on impact with her barrier as Mirabelle tenses slightly from the power it packed.

"That's fine.", Mirabelle spoke calmly but glaring sternly, "I'll find out all I need soon enough."

Heather growled in irritation, "We'll see about that bitch! Oh, and if you plan on saving your fancy black hubby, I'd do it quick. I'd say he has about 15 minutes give or take a minute or two."

The revelation shocked Mirabelle realizing she needed to hurry. Fortunately, she was in familiar territory.

"Well, I only need five. If you've seen inside Dear's mind, then you know that I know his dreamscape like the back of my hand. I total dominion here. Allow me to demonstrate.", Mirabelle stated confidently twirling her scythe before dramatically slamming the bottom end to the ground. She waited a moment surprised that the dimension hadn't changed at all. Heather looks around unimpressed and playfully shrugs. Mirabelle taps the grounds a multiple times confused and starting to panic.

"Awww what's wrong? What happened to having total dominion?", Heather taunted with a wide grin.

Mirabelle keeps tapping the ground desperately, "N-No! Why?!"

"Simple. YOU don't have total dominion over this place anymore.", Heather mocked much to Mirabelle shock, "I've basically made myself at home in his psyche. This space is entirely made of my astral power which gets stronger the more of his spirit energy I consume!"

"No!", Mirabelle calls out channeling some purple energy through her scythe shaft and slamming it to the floor. It destabilized space for a moment before being the space returns to normal to Mirabelle's fear.

"Oh, and FYI. I've kinda been pulling my punches this whole time. Decided to give you a little hope...before I shit on it.", Heather spoke with a deep menacing tone as her body radiated menacing green fire-like aura. Wave of green energy rippling throughout the dimension forcing Mirabelle to shield herself and Caleb.

*For immersion, play Black Goku theme.*

Heather's body transforms with her green swirling ghost tail becomes a pair of slender human legs with pulsating green veins the same was on her arms. Her long sleeve gown became a dark green halter backless slit top that reach down her legs, black shorts, black ankle length heeled boots, and her hair silver hair now had streaks of green. She smiles at Mirabelle showing a set of viciously sharp teeth and piercing green eyes coupled with sharp needlelike nails.

Mirabelle could feel the tremendous increase in astral energy around her as fear began to creep in through her senses.

"Hehehehe judging by that look on your face, I guess you're starting to understand now", Heather says before suddenly appear right in front of Mirabelle surprising her. Mirabelle swings her scythe only to find herself swinging at empty before have her hair grabbed from behind yanking it back hard as yelped in pain. Heather forces her head back and whispers in her ear, "You're in MY house now, bitch."

Heather kicks Mirabelle hard in the back making the Centaur faceplant on the ground. Mirabelle quickly tries the pick herself up using her scythe as support. Heather makes her arm stretch like Luffy from One Piece launching it with her sharp clawed fingers like a spear. Mirabelle parried the hit creating a shower of sparks from the impact on. Heather fingers spread open forming as a ball of green energy in front of Mirabelle. It explodes in her face sending her sliding back before catching her footing. Her barrier absorbed most of the power but she still took some damage evident. She hunches slightly from the pain. Heather keeps up the pressure appearing above smiling with her tongue pulled out brandishing her needle claws rippling with green aura.

She thrusts both spear hands with manic ferocity as Mirabelle tries desperately to parry the hits getting cut a few times. T

"Hahahaha come on, you can do better than THAT!", Heather chortle enthusiastically creating an opening before kneeing Mirabelle hard in her human torso.

"KYAGH-Gaah?!", Mirabelle cough hunching over attempting to send out a pulse of aura before Heather grabs her face breaking her concentration.

"Bitch move!", Heather chortled before sending a strong torrent of green energy ripping through Mirabelle's body.

"AAAHHHHHHH!", she screams out as green lightning pulsates from her now destabilizing astral body. Her arms go limp as she drops her scythe. The object vanishes into a spread of tiny purple energy particles.

Heather releases her stepping back satisfaction as Mirabelle wobbles trying to remain standing her body becoming heavy and flickering before she collapses on her side. Her body keeps flickering like an unstable satellite signal.

"Hahaha looks like you're astral form is almost at it's limit. One more and I wonder what'll happen. Will your physical body die or will it just recall it's astral body back?", Heather says generating a large green ball of miasma energy before dissipating it with a sigh, "Guess we won't know since I can't kill ya."

She notices Mirabelle reaching her hand out looking with half lidded eyes at Caleb still lying on the ground breathing laboriously. The yellow veiny mark now starting to completely cover his face.

"Dear...", Mirabelle spoke softly.

"What? You scared and want your Dear to hold your hand? Ah riiight cuz he looooves you SO much!", Heather sarcastically swooned before stopping her on Mirabelle hand, "What a load of bullshit! Acting like you two are SO happy together! You're both just a couple of fucked up asshole that found each other! How could ANY normal guy love someone like you?! A worthless, ugly, pathetic, loser COWARD!", she reviled in irritation before spitting on Mirabelle head.

Mirabelle shuddered feeling every word sting to her core.

"Tch, yeah you cry those little bitch tears but makes sure to dry your eyes enough to watch me kill your lover. Brb.", Heather says brandishing her claws catwalking over to Caleb.

Mirabelle watches helplessly, her body refusing to move, as her words bombard in her mind. She tried her best and she still couldn't protect him. She failed him. Tears started to well in her eyes before...

"Moon pie...", came the voice of Caleb with her head. She looks to see him turned to weakly reaching his trembling hand out to her.

Her eyes widen in surprise. Even in this state, she could still feel his heart calling out to her. He still loved her. He trusted her.

'What am I doing? Why am I listening to her rubbish while the only person who's words truly matter are about to be silenced. Caleb has always been by my side. He's my best friend. My lover! My husband who gives a 100% for me!", Mirabelle thought clenching her fist in determination, 'What kind of wife am I...TO NOT GIVE 100% FOR HIM?'

Suddenly, to Mirabelle surprise, little glowing spheres of purple energy from the dimension surrounding her. She senses something very familiar about them. They didn't just feel like he energy...but Caleb's as well.

Sidenote: It has often been said that ' salvation comes in the blink of an eye'. For Mirabelle, salvation comes from the residual astral energy within Caleb's subconscious that she unconsciously summoned to her aid.

The balls of energy start getting absorbed into her body and she feels her strength returning and most of her wound healing.

Caleb vision was blurry but he could make out the terrifying image of Heather standing over him brandishing her needle nails like a spear smiling creepily.

"Haaa kinda wish things had been different. I would've loved taking that big black cock for a ride.", Heather spoke rubbing her foot against his crotch then pressing hard getting ready to impale him, "Welp, there'll be plenty more fun to have when this is done!"

Heather strikes at his chest but was surprised for her claws to come nowhere near his body; instead shattering on impact with a very dense purple energy barrier.

"Wah! Wha?!", Heather gasps looking at her hand then sees the barrier around Caleb, "The fu-Ah!", she stated whipping her head around only for Mirabelle to grasp her head with both hands forcing her to make eye contact.

"In your dreams!", Mirabelle stated her eyed filled with purple flames. Heather gasps mouth agape as her eyes take on the same purple glow.

...

Mirabelle is bombarded with images of Heather life; formerly Heather J. Fernsby born in Augusta, Maine in the mid-80s. She had brown hair, blue eyes, and a skinny figure with flat chest and butt. They told the story of how she grew up in an overly strict and devout Catholic household where she was harshly punished by her parents for whatever they deemed 'sinful'. She was an only child and had no friends. She was bullied alot in middle school for skinny appearance and plain dress style. Things only got worse as she entered into high school. Not only did her parents bare down on her even harder warning her of the 'temptations of the flesh and mind', but she was relentlessly bullied for her appearance and the reputation of her parents in the town; eventually given the name 'Parasite'. The worst of her bullies, Angela, the queen bee of her school, made her life an absolute hell for Heather and spread terrible rumors about her. The images also showed her growing sexual curiosity, especially her interest in both men AND women which she had to keep from her parents. It didn't help that they made her despise her own sexuality. Everyday at school, she was forced to watch happy couples being all lovey-dovey. The envy she felt toward Angela and the other perfect girls with their perfect bodies able to woo the boys easily. She even had a crush on Angela boyfriend, Chase, but he openly rebuffs her calling her ugly which hurt her deeply. Everyday she was reminded of how ugly, worthless, and how nobody would EVER want a Jesus freak Parasite like her. She hated it. Her body, her parents, the school, Angela, everything!

That all changed when one day she was walking home from school and came across a strange round black stone with mysterious symbols carves into it. She picked it up and immediately felt a strange sensation all over her body. When looking up, she could've sworn she saw a feminine figure in a dark purple cloak observing her. She noted her greyish skin and appeared to be carrying some kind of book. She ignored deciding to continue on home passing some construction workers on the road and fantasizing about one of them coming up to flirt with her. She was unaware of the truck speeding down the road adjacent and colliding right into her. Next shows Heather final thoughts. How she realized she was really dying and slowly realizing how awful her life truly was. She never got to go out on a date or even have a first kiss! Was she seriously going to die a loser virgin?! Seriously!? She refused to accept THAT as her fate. At that moment, a strange green energy filled her vision. She awoke some time later shocked by her new appearance. She was a ghost. Not only that, she was angry and very horny.

Next shows Heather quickly coping with the idea that she was dead, even attending her own funeral, before deciding to have her revenge against everyone who wronged her. She soon discovered her ability to possess living being. After some practice with animals and homeless people, she was ready for her targets. Starting with Angela, who she used to have sloppy sex with her boyfriend before killing him, then making Angela strip naked and masterbate in front of her entire class before slicing her throat to the teacher and Angela friends horror. She then went after her friends, possessing, having sex with boys, until their bodies were used up or making them commit suicide. When she was done with the school, she turned her attention to her parents. She possessed her own mother and forces her to beat her husband to death with a fireplace poker while shooting off quotes from Leviticus. She then proceeds open the oven turning on the gas the setting her parents and her own bedroom on fire. She leaves the burning house getting into her parents car and driving off as it explodes. For the first time, she felt free but she knew that this freedom required a fresh body every now and again. That's how she would spend the next couple decades up until her inevitable encounter with Satella's group.

Mirabelle continues diving deeper through her psyche before finally finding what she was looking for.

...

Heather gasps quickly glancing around looking to Caleb who was still on the ground. The yellow veiny mark covering his entire body. She then looks to Mirabelle, still on the ground from the ass whooping she just gave her. Heather gaze lingers on Mirabelle a moment. She could've sworn that Centaur was up in her face a second ago.

"Eh, whatever.", Heather shrugs before turning her attention back to Caleb and extending her needle-nails, "Back to business as usual."

"Please...", Mirabelle uttered weakly trembling as she looks to Heather with pleading eyes, "Please, I'm begging you. I know you don't want to do this. Please!"

Heather give her an indifferent look, "You really are a coward until the end. You think I DON'T want to do this?"

"Huh?!", Mirabelle gasps in shock.

"Truth is...", Heather spoke a wicked grin forming, "I LIVE FOR THIS! IT'S JUST TOO MUCH FUN! SAY BYE-BYE TO HUBBY!"

"NOOO!", Mirabelle screams out in despair as Heather stabs her claws right into Caleb's chest.

Heather smiles in satisfaction but then was shocked when Caleb's body poofs away as a cloud of purple smoke. She also found that her claws were stuck in the ground not budging no matter how hard she pulled.

"What? What the fuck is this?!"

"Haa I truly gave you a chance. I thought there might be a sliver of humanity left in you.", Mirabelle spoke as Heather turns her attention to her surprised to find the Centaur standing to her feet just fine. Her injuries all vanishes in steams of purple mist, "But I know better. I know EXACTLY who you are now."

"We'll see about that, you stupid bitch! HA!", Heather stated charging up a ball of green miasma and firing it at Mirabelle.

Mirabelle raises her hand stops it in mid-air to Heather shock before radiating purple aura from her body. The green miasma changed into a ball of purple energy which she then absorbed into her body.

Heather clenches her teeth in frustration attempting to teleport over to her only to find she was still in the same spot. Whatsmore, she realized she could no longer feel Caleb spirit energy. She then remembers when Mirabelle was up in her face and a blinding purple light.

"W-What did you-"

"Have you finally noticed it yet? Your power is fading", Mirabelle say in a cold tone, "When I dived into your wretched psyche, I took it upon myself to sever the astral link you've attached to Dear's. You won't be leeching off him anymore."

"What?!", Heather stated in disbelief.

"Oh. Apologies, let me put it this way. You claimed earlier this was YOUR house. Well, I just handed you an eviction notice!", Mirabelle stated before summoning her DreamScythe back to her hand.

"I-Impossible! How could a worthless, coward like you-"

"Yes!", Mirabelle stated cutting her off, "I am still a coward...but now...i'm also loved."

Mirabelle stomps her hoof making a clopping sound that echoes as the darkness around her dissolves away replaced with purple energy and mist. Heather looks around in shock as the dimension destabilizes.

"It's because of that I refuse to lose to you. Someone who was denied real love throughout her life and in her death destroyed it for countless others. ", Mirabelle says walking toward her as the darkness dissolves more and more until it was entirely replaced by the dreamscape to Heather's horror, "Yet, you needed them. You needed their feelings, their power, their lives since it was the only way you could feel alive. However, the sad truth is...you can live a MILLION of their lives...and still be everything your abusers said you are. A parasite."

Heather glared at her hatefully as green and black flames covered her body, "Don't CALL ME THAT!", she shouted before firing a torrent of green lightning at Mirabelle. It was absorbed by her barrier not slowing her stride at all. Heather start to panic at the advancing Nightmare trying to pull her arm out of the ground but it wouldn't budge.

Mirabelle raises her scythe and slices her left hand off leaving it stuck in the ground.

"GAAHHHH!", Heather cries out in pain cradling the glow green nub where her hand used to be. Mirabelle slams the end of her scythe onto her severed hand and it disappears in a puff of green particles to Heather's horror. She looks up at Mirabelle haunting figure glaring down with disdain.

"I may have feelings worthlessness...but you really ARE worthless.", Mirabelle remarks.

"RHHAA!", Heather yells out pointing her free hand attempting to channel green miasma energy for another attack only for her aura to fizzle out to her shock. She realizes she was running out of spirit energy and need to pull more in fast. She looks around frantically but didn't see him. Hell, she couldn't sense his energy anywhere.

"Looking for something...or perhaps someone? Well, you won't find my Caleb here.", Mirabelle says in a serious tone as Heather looks to her confused, "Doesn't this space feel quite different from before?"

Heather gives a look of realization finally noticing the surroundings.

"When I peered into your psyche, I also pulling you into mine. You're not inside Dear's dreamscape, you're inside mine!", Mirabelle emphasizes striking the ground with her scythe end the sound echoing before...

"SAILOR KICK", screams an unknown voice catching Heather attention who recieves a flying kick to the head by none other than Sailor Moon herself.

"Nnagh! Erghh! The f-", Heather stops mid-sentence shocked to see the five Sailor Scouts standing beside Mirabelle in their signature poses and staring her down intently. Heather give a confused look, "What the FUCK is all this?"

"Been awhile, Ms. Mira.", Serena(Sailor Moon) spoke playfully to Mirabelle.

"What is our objective, Ma'am?", Amy(Sailor Mercury) inquires respectfully.

"I need you to do what you all do best, love!", Mirabelle stated pointing her scythe at Heather who flinches in fear.

"Right!" , all the scouts stated before charging the ghost girl.

"Whoawhoawhoa WAIT A SEC HERE!" , Heather waved her hands in vain trying to stop the beating that was coming.

"MERCURY BUBBLE! FREEZE!", Amy(Sailor Mercury) shouted as Heather was body was frozen in ice.

"POWER OF MARS! PHEONIX FIREBOLT CHARGE!", Sailor Mars shouted sending a fireball that takes the form of a bird crashes right into Heather setting her whole body ablaze as she screams out in pain.

"JUPITER THUNDER DRAGON!", Sailor Jupiter called out in righteous fury sending a huge torrent of lightning that takes the form of a Chinese dragon that lights up Heather like a Christmas tree.

"METEOR SHOWER!", Sailor Venus calls out shooting a yellow ball of energy upwards before it explodes in a shower of thousands of other balls that pelt Heather's entire body like hard baseballs.

"MOON GORGEOUS MEDITATION!", Sailor Moon finishes her off twirling her staff as beam of rainbow energy erupts below Heather making her scream out in agony as if her body was being ripped apart.

Heather entire body flickers and glitches like a damages computer screen before falling on her butt losing the strength to stand. Mirabelle approaches her as Sailor Scouts all vanish. The ghost girl weakly looks up at her unable to utter a coherent word from how much pain she was in.

"I believe you have something that doesn't belong to you.", Mirabelle says before clenching her fist making a pulling motion.

Immediately, a stream of purple energy erupts out of Heather body making her gag and twitch as it collects in Mirabelle palm into a tight glowing ball then absorbing it into her own body. Heather's body reverts back to its original form including her ghost tail in place of legs. Mirabelle then raises her scythe much to Heather's horror.

"No. No, please... Don't destroy me!", Heather pleads on her hand, "Please I beg you!"

"Do you believe you deserve that? All the lives you've destroyed for your own selfish whims?!", Mirabelle coldly replies remembering all the terrible things she saw in her memories.

"I don't! I know I don't! I-I-I just...I just wanted to have fun. You know? Enjoy all life has to offer! Food, booze, SEX! I just wanted to be FREE!", Heather stated trying to plead her case while channeling what little energy she had into her hand.

"And the PRICE of that freedom? People like my Dear Caleb?!", Mirabelle retorted.

"Come on! Give me a break! You already took his spirit energy back. I'm on my last nonexistent legs here! I-I promise if you let me go, you'll never see me again! I-I'll tell you everything about Satella and-", Heather begged before Mirabelle interupts.

"I know about all of that already."

Heather falls silent trembling as she discretely channeled her energy in her palm waiting for her chance.

"I'm not going to kill you.", Mirabelle says turning away to Heather's surprise, "That's not the way of my people."

"Too bad.", Heather spoke under her breath channel green miasma in her claws then lunges for Mirabelle neck, "CUZ MY WAYS MORE FUN!"

Suddenly, to her shock, Heather body comes to a complete hault being held in place by an invisible force as the green miasma is dissipated.

"I was waiting for you to use the last of your energy. The only thing making you different from anything else in this realm. Now that's gone, so now...your indistinguishable from any other thought in my head.", Mirabelle calmly informs before raising her scythe and making four slices in space forming a perfect square. She steps aside and the space she cut emits a blinding purple light that shine upon Heather making her shut her eyes.

Heather then feels her body being pulled towards the square.

"W-What is this?! What are you doing to me?!", Heather inquired starting to panic.

"I told you that I won't KILL you...that doesn't mean you won't be punished.", Mirabelle says her words laced with venom, "This is a special technique of my clan. One made for thoughts as toxic as yourself. However, I made this special for you."

Before Heather could speak, several arms reach out of the opens grabbing the ghost girl. A closer look showed they were the many women she had possessed of the years; Angela and Burns clenched her throat and hair respectively. All their eyes were glowing with purple energy as they wore angry expressions

"Ack! NO! How are they even-?!"

"How are they still 'alive' so to speak? You may have devoured their spirit energy until they were nothing but their memories live on through you. I've given a bit of my power to those memories. As you can see, they all remember you quite well and are eager to get even with you and have you experience every bit of pain they ever endured. They'll have time. Believe me, you and every single one them will have all the time in the world. Time does move much slower here.", Mirabelle coldly explains as Heather screams and thrashes tryinh to break free only for them to pull her in. She holds onto the edge of the space as the hand grab at her hair and face and seeing Mirabelle's indifferent expression.

"HAHAHA YOU THINK YOU WON?! MY FRIENDS ARE STILL COMING FOR YOU AND YOUR HUBBY! IF THEY CATCH YOU YOU'RE FAMILY IS GOOD AS DEAD!", Heather shouted at her.

Mirabelle step up to her getting up to her face, "If.", she spoke as Heather's eyes widen.

"It's an interesting thought...but that's all it is and all you are now. So...begone thought.", Mirabelle finished striking the end of her scythe to the ground.

"NOOOOO!", Heather screams as the window closes on her then forms into a three-dimensional glowing purple cube that fall to the floor.

Mirabelle picks it up looking at it before sending it levitating upward going deep, deep into her subconscious. She then slices an opening in space and steps through arriving back in Caleb's subconscious. He still lay on the ground in practically the same condition as she left him before quickly rushing to his aid. She touches his chest and purple stream of aura flows into him sending ripples throughout his form as the yellow veiny mark start vanishing from his face and body.

...Real world...

Drei approached Caleb's unconcious body about to administer another dose of serum before noticing, to her shock, the marks on his arm and face were slowly receding as his skin returned to normal.

Before she could fully process what she was seeing, Mirabelle teleports inside the panic room.

"Dear!", she stated going up to and kneeling beside him.

"What are YOU doing down here?! Get away from him! It's not...safe", Drei stated before noticing the marks on Caleb's body were receding as his skin returned to normal.

His eyes flutter open, vision clearing up to see Mirabelle smiling over with tears in her eyes.

"Hey, Moon pie...", Caleb spoke with a thankful smile forming.

"Hello, Dear.", Mirabelle spoke sweetly.

Caleb slowly reaches up caressing her face and wiping her tears with his thumb as she held his hand in place nuzzling his palm. She then throws herself at him in strong hug as her breasts mush into his chest as she wept.

"Mmph! Easy Moon pie, I'm still sore all over.", Caleb grunted rubbing her back trying to calm her.

"I-I *sniffle* I'm sorry. I thought I lost you! I was so scared!", Mirabelle whimpered.

Caleb doesn't reply just pets the top of her head to console. She earned these tears from what they just went through.

Drei stares in disbelief before quickly taking out her phone pressing speed dial, "Zwei, get everyone down here now! He's OK!"

She hangs up and approaches him, "How do you feel?"

"Ok.", Caleb replies before finally notices his surroundings then sees Drei in her little yellow HAZMAT suit, "Why are we in the panic room and what the hell are you wearing?"

"Answer to both, protection.", Drei spoke apparently.

"Ah. No further questions.", Caleb replied.

A couple minutes later the entrance to the panic room and others hastily come running in with Lyca and Camilla pushing first.

"SENOR!", CHIEF!", The two of them exclaims before stopping in their tracks upon seeing him sitting up on the couch with Mirabelle, have calmed down a bit, supporting him.

Caleb looks at them feeling a it ashamed, "Hey...girls.

Camilla and Lyca were both uncertain and hesitant to approach him

"S-Senor...?", Camilla spoke keeping her distance out of caution and fear.

"Chief? H-How do feel?", Lyca asks softly like a scared child that upset a parent.

Ein and Zwei were also apprehensive about getting to close to him.

"I'm...alright. I know word probably doesn't mean shit right now but...please believe me. I'm so sorry...to all of you.", Caleb spoke his voice cracking, "I won't ask for forgiveness but I promise you I'm ok."

Camilla and Lyca pause sensing the sincerity and shame in his voice. Deep in their hearts, they knew he was telling the truth. Ein and Zwei could also feel it.

Not hesitating anymore, Lyca and Camilla run to him and tackling their lover into a heartfelt embrace knocking the wind out of him.

"Chief! You're ok! Chief's ok! I was so scared you were gonna diieeee!", Lyca cries into his shirt hugging his waist tight nuzzling his stomach. Caleb winces as gagging a bit as she squeezed his mid-section.

"Me too!", Camilla stated pulling Caleb into her hugging him tight smothering his face in her cleavage, "I could not BARE to live in this world without ju, mi Amor! Ju are my EVERYTHING! I love you! I do not care what ju said or done! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!", the Elder Devil wept profusely holding him tightly afraid to let go making it harder to breath.

"I love you too, Chief! I love you!", Lyca stated tightening her grip.

"Um, I get you guys love him and all but maybe give the man some breathing room?", Drei says catching their attention. The two girls release him.

"HAAAA haaaa *inhales* haaaaaaa", Caleb gasps folding his stomach and taking deep breaths.

"Los sientos, Señor!", Camilla apologized in worried tone.

"Sorry! Sorry Chief! Did I hurt you?", Lyca asks in fear.

Caleb coughs at bit before lowly chuckling to the others surprise and slight worry.

"Haaa...I guess it's true...love sho'nough hurts.", Caleb says in a joking tone. This earns a small grin from Mirabelle and the others, "I love you girls too."

Caleb and the girls embrace in one big group hug on the couch as the Zyklons watch them enjoying the moment.

"We're so happy you're doing much better, sir.", Ein spoke in a caring tone.

"Yeah, you really scared us there for a moment. You sure showed that nasty parasite who's the Boss!", Zwei congratulated giving a thumbs up.

Realization suddenly hit Caleb and Mirabelle as they stop embracing to Lyca and Camilla confusion.

"It..It wasn't a parasite guys.", Caleb informs as the others look to him curiously.

"What do you mean?", Drei inquires.

"It was something...or, more accurately, someONE else controlling Dear.", Mirabelle jumps in clenching the couch cushion. The others look to her in surprise.

"SomeONE? Like...someone was manipulating him? Are they still nearby?!", Ein inquires listening prepared to take action

"Yes..but actually no", Mirabelle answers garnishing more confusion, "There's...alot we need to tell you all."

Caleb sits up on his own feet to the floor and elbows to his knees with a ponderous expression before addressing the circumstances.

"This isn't over yet guy.", Caleb relays with a sigh as they all look him, "It's just getting started."
