But they get something far stronger then they expected a spirit capable of controlling them. And where they just wanted to have fun for an evening, the ghost has far darker desires. (MF, nc, teens, inc, mc) *** AUTHOR NOTES: Well, I've finally finished up the first part of my second story, which I am hereby offering up for the reading public. My first story "The Cycle of Corruption" (currently sitting in Directory 28 of the Kristen Archives, for those who want to read it) I got mostly positive feedback on, so hopefully this story will live up to the standard set by that one. I originally believed this story would wind up being either 2 or 3 parts long, and after completing this first one it's looking like it'll more then likely be 3. So, if you read this first part and you like it, be sure to send me feedback on it, because the more feedback I get the more likely I am to pump out the remaining parts at a quicker rate. I can be contacted at SyntheticDivine@aol.com but make sure you use "Dead People Aren't Toys" as the topic or there's a good chance I'll mistake it for spam and delete it. To offer fair warning to those about to continue reading. This story contains incest, as well as the possession of a human by a supernatural being and through that mind control. Because of that mind control and the fact that later parts will definitely include rape, I'm going ahead and tossing the nc label on now. Later parts may also include other potential goodies. Do not read further if any of these things offend you. You've been so warned. This first part also has more plot/story build-up. There is sex, but not as much as will be found in the second and probably the third parts. Last chance to stop reading. To those who remain, I offer you my new story. Dead People Aren't Toys "This is stupid." Jake stated, leaning against the wall near the door. "If you don't like it, you're free to leave, whenever you feel like it." Seth told the guy, smirking. Jake was the youngest guy there, at fifteen. He also happened to be dating Seth's youngest sister, Mandy, who'd just turned fourteen a few weeks ago. Seth had never liked Jake, but he was smart enough not to tell his sister that. Well... Now he was, after he'd tried it once and had to listen to her for an hour afterwards. Seth was sixteen. His other sister, Karen, was fifteen. Karen was the one who'd started this. She'd had two of her friends, Lily who was also fifteen, and Sara who was sixteen, over to spend the night. Another of their friends, Julian, a guy who was also sixteen, dyed his hair platinum blonde, but who the girls insisted wasn't gay, had been over talking with them. Seth had just been in his room playing games and listening to music. Mandy and Jake had been out on a date to an early movie. That was when Karen decided to bust out her new Ouija Board. Somehow she'd managed to talk her friends into it, when Mandy and Jake got back. Since Karen was doing it, Mandy decided she wanted to do it too, and she'd dragged Jake into it. Then a contingent of them had come along to his room and dragged him into it all. So there he was. In Karen's room with the rest of them, with Karen's Ouija board set between her, Mandy, and Sara on the bed. Julian was standing off to one side with a pen and paper in his hands. According to Karen, he was supposed to write down whatever the board said. Lily was sitting near the head of the bed, back far enough not to disturb the others, with her head tilted forward and to the side to get a better look. Seth was sitting in a chair not far from the bed, bored but trying not to show it. He was watching Sara and Lily as much as the board. Lily had semi-long strawberry blonde hair, green eyes, a very cute face, a decent body, maybe B cup tits. Seth liked to think of Lily as... Sweet. Sara had a great body, C maybe D cup breasts, long black hair, dark eyes, and a nice face. Sara was, well... Sara was sexy. Sweet and sexy. Seth wanted to fuck them both. Preferably together. Odds of that happening, Seth knew, were virtually zero. But hey, a guy had a right to dream. They'd both flirted with him a bit in the past, but neither had shown serious interest. Not that Seth was ugly or anything. He was pretty good looking, or at least most girls he'd met had thought so. He might not be the school stud, but he had no problems in that department. In fact, he'd broken up with his last girlfriend just a week before. "You guys ready?" Karen suddenly asked, breaking Seth out of his thoughts. He knew his sister had been eager to use this Ouija board ever since she'd bought it recently, but he didn't think she had yet. Personally he thought she was afraid to use it alone, though he knew she'd never admit it if she were. So it wasn't really surprising that she'd seized on the first opportunity she had with a group of people together. "Yeah, yeah, get on with it." Jake muttered, before Mandy shushed him from the bed. Turning her attention back to Karen, Mandy nodded. The rest of the room gave ascent, though Seth didn't really say anything, until Karen looked at him and gestured towards the candles. Not saying anything, Seth picked up the lighter he'd set nearby and went around the room, lighting the candles Karen had set out one by one. "Hit the lights." Seth shot to Jake as he strode back towards his chair, but paused when he reached it and remained standing so that he could see the board, suddenly curious. He didn't see Jake reach out to flip the switch, but he could tell that he had as the lights suddenly plunged out, leaving the room illuminated only by the soft glow of the candles. It made the letters on the board kind of hard to make out from the distance he was standing from, and he saw Julian step closer to the bed to get a better view. Slowly, carefully, Karen reached over to one side to grab the planchette, moving it in and laying it on the board. Seth watched as the three seated around the board each reached in to lay a finger on the planchette. Then came Karen's voice, speaking softly. "If there is anyone out there who would like to speak to us, we offer this board." She intoned. A minute passed, then another, and another, and still the planchette never moved. Finally Jake just snickered and started to say something, until Mandy shot him a glare, which caused him to fall silent, if reluctantly. Karen took a deep breath and spoke again. "If anyone near us who has passed on would like to speak, we're here to listen." She said to the open air, drawing Mandy's attention back. As soon as Mandy looked away though, Jake decided to add something onto Karen's request. "And why don't you give us the worst one you've got, while you're at it?" Jake said, sounding amused. That earned him several glares, but no one spoke. When after a few seconds no one looked away, Jake just raised his hands defensively in front of him in a sort of surrender, looking annoyed all the while though. Karen and the others had just turned their attention back to the board when suddenly Seth saw the planchette move beneath their fingers. Its movements were swift and precise, shooting quickly over the board as if it had purpose. Julian started quickly jotting stuff down on the paper, and Seth could see Lily leaning in even closer to try to see better. He personally couldn't make out anything of what was being said. "Hi." Karen suddenly said, in response to whatever must've been spelled out on the board. "Can you tell us what you'd like us to call you?" Once more the planchette shot quickly over the board, only this time Jake came out with another remark. "Hey, I can't see what you guys are making the thing say. If you're gonna pull a stunt like this, you should at least fill the rest of us in on what you're having it spell out." "Why don't you shut up, Jake, before you upset him?" Karen shot without taking her attention from the board, the planchette once more moving swiftly, whatever was being said causing a sudden fit of giggles and chuckles from everyone on the bed. Jake just looked further annoyed, but before he could say anything more, Julian suddenly spoke up. "He says we should call him Thade. And, well... He just said you were a moron who talks too much." Julian informed him, which managed to draw a glare out of Jake himself this time. Not wanting to have to wait for Julian to pass on the messages anymore, Seth just moved over to the edge of the bed, so he could try and get a direct look at whatever was being said. "What would you like to talk with us about?" Karen queried the ghost or whatever it was supposed to be. Almost immediately the planchette was moving across the board, spelling it's message out for the bunch of them. W-H-Y D-I-D Y-O-U C-A-L-L M-E ? "We wanted to be able to talk to you." Karen said. Seth himself wondered which of them was actually moving the planchette. "I hope you don't mind speaking with us." I W-O-U-L-D N-O-T H-A-V-E C-O-M-E I-F I D-I-D "Great. So there's no particular topics that interest you?" Karen asked, her eyes never moving from the board. Y-O-U M-U-S-T B-E B-R-A-V-E "Why's that?" Karen questioned. Y-O-U A-R-E S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G T-O T-H-E D-E-A-D "I wouldn't call that brave, really." Karen said, blushing a little. "We just wanted a chance to talk to someone like you." T-H-O-S-E L-I-K-E M-E C-A-N B-E D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S "Dangerous how?" Sara broke in, but Karen didn't outright object to the girl asking a question. W-E A-R-E S-T-R-O-N-G-E-R T-H-E-N Y-O-U T-H-I-N-K "Oh yeah?" Jake suddenly asked, after Julian related what was said. "Why don't you show us something, then?" he demanded, stepping close enough the board to see himself what was said. This time, when Karen shot daggers with her look Jake's way, she didn't just look angry, she also looked worried. But before she could say anything, the planchette was moving. Y-O-U D-O-N-T W-A-N-T T-H-A-T "Yeah right. Why don't one of you three just admit you're moving the thing?" Jake asked the girls on the bed. Once more the planchette started moving immediately. D-O-N-T M-O-C-K M-E , O-R I J-U-S-T M-I-G-H-T G-I-V-E Y-O-U W-H-A-T Y-O-U A-S-K-E-D F-O-R Karen released the planchette and was waving both hands at Jake to silence him, but before she could get anything out he was already speaking. "That's what I want. Either put up or shut up. If you can actually do something, then do it. Otherwise, stop acting like this is anything but a game." There was a pause for about a second, as everyone in the room fell completely silent, and then suddenly Karen's stereo came on. Seth recognized the song immediately. It was one that was hard to forget after you saw the music video. 'Come to Daddy' by Aphex Twin. It was also definitely not the sort of music Karen listened to. He was almost absolutely certain that she wouldn't have a CD with that song on it, and he couldn't remember hearing it on the radio anytime in the last couple years. After a few seconds, when nobody said anything, Seth took it on himself to turn and stride over to the stereo. Leaning in close so he could examine it in the candlelight, he quickly found himself freezing and backing off a few steps, his eyes wide. "What?" he heard Lily ask him from the bed. Seth slowly turned to tell them, finding the rest of the eyes in the room on him, and he saw something else that made him come up short. It was all he could do to seize enough control of himself to get the words out. "It was set to cd, not to the radio, but there was no cd in it. And that... That..." He couldn't come up with any words to say what he wanted, so he just lifted one finger to point at the door. The others turned their heads to take in what he was seeing. The candlelight cast several shadows on the door, but there was one distinct one among them. A human shadow, moving in time with the music, as if it were dancing. And there sure as hell wasn't anyone there who could be casting it. "Holy shit." Sara said, virtually at the same time as Jake asked "What the fuck?". The rest seemed too shocked to speak. Suddenly the planchette once more started moving over the board, only this time no one was touching it. I-M T-I-R-E-D O-F H-I-M Just then the shadow at the door vanished, and Jake was choking. It happened so quickly that Seth barely had time to look over at the first noise and see a shadow- like impression over Jake's throat before the guy's own hands blocked out the view of it. "STOP IT!" one of the girls shrieked, he couldn't have said for sure which one. Grabbing hold of himself, Seth rushed over to him. He'd never liked the guy, but he didn't want to see him dead. He wasn't entirely sure what to do though, so he froze for a second as Jake continued to clutch at his throat, obviously struggling to draw in air. Just as Seth had finally decided on trying to pound the guy on the back, and had reached out one arm towards him, he was struck. He wasn't sure what had done it, he hadn't seen it, he'd just felt a sudden strong blow to his chest and then the next thing he knew he was on his back, staring up at the ceiling. Pain remained where the blow had been struck, but he could hear Jake gasping in long breaths of air, so whatever had had him had released him when it'd turned its attention on Seth. Starting to struggle to his feet, he felt another sudden sharp blow, this one directly across his face. Pain exploded in his lower jaw, and Seth slammed back to the ground. Vaguely in the air above him he could see a sort of shadowy darkness hovering over him. "We no longer wish to talk." He suddenly heard Karen saying, and just like that the shadow above him was gone. As he once more tried to struggle to his feet, he could hear Karen going on. "Thank you for coming at our request, but we must now ask that you please leave us. Go in peace, back from where you came." He finally regained a standing position just in time to see her move the planchette over 'Goodbye'. As soon as she did though the planchette jerked across the board, one of her hands slipping off with the sudden motion. It settled over the word 'no'. "We bring this talk to an end." She insisted, moving the planchette quickly back over goodbye before suddenly lifting it away from the board before it could be used any further. Seth could swear at that moment he heard a faint low growl. He couldn't quite have said from where, but he was sure he heard it. Just then the board suddenly heaved upwards at Karen's face. She leapt backwards just in time to avoid having her nose smashed in by the thing, almost falling off the bed in the process. The board sailed past to clatter to the ground a couple yards from the bed. About fifteen seconds passed in silence, with none of them saying anything, just looking around the room as if waiting for something else to happen, when suddenly the phone rang. It was Karen's cell phone, but Seth was closest to it. Everybody in the room just looked at each other for a second, and then finally Seth strode over towards it. Though it was Karen's phone, she made no objection as he picked it up, flipped it open, and hit the button to turn it on. Taking a deep breath, he lifted the phone to his ear. "You.." A voice echoed into his ear. He couldn't say the word was spoken as much as it seemed to be said from a vast distance away, and then to have bounced off many surfaces before finally reaching him. Seth felt a surge of disorientation sweep over him. "The board..." The voice echoed. The disorientation simply increased with the sound. Seth felt his head start to swim, and suddenly in front of him he could sense the outline of a figure. The only thing was he couldn't really see it. He got the impression of a boy a bit older then him standing in front of him, he could feel it, but his eyes told him nothing was there. "Pick up the board..." The voice echoed in an eerie way, sounding almost demanding. "We're not finished." Seth wasn't sure how much longer he could hold out. The disorientation and impression continued getting stronger. If it went on much longer he'd wind up passing out. It was all he could do to gather himself just enough to speak a reply. "Go to hell." He spat into the receiver, before struggling to bring his free hand up and managing to hit the button to turn the thing off. Almost immediately the disorientation surged out of him, so swiftly in fact that it almost left him reeling for a second before he recovered. As soon as he did his hand shot out, tossing the cell phone into the chair he'd been sitting on earlier. It was at the very second he saw the phone hit the chair that all the candle flames suddenly went out at once, and they were plunged into darkness. Screams rose up around the room, and pandemonium seemed to ensue. The stereo seemed to have suddenly shut off at the same time the flames disappeared, and Seth could hear people banging into things left and right. He seemed to be the only one who wasn't trying to move towards the door or the light switch beside it. He didn't feel anything, or at least, he didn't until someone suddenly crashed into him and sent them both sprawling to the floor. Seth could feel a definite female form on top of him, but he didn't really have time to focus on the sensation when the lights suddenly went on. The first thing Seth saw was Lily's face hovering a couple inches over his, staring down at him. It only took a second before a blush spread over her cheeks and she sheepishly lifted off him and rose to her feet. "Sorry." He heard her say softly. Glancing over, Seth could see Julian by the light switch. Though the boy hadn't been the one closest to it, he seemed to have been the first to reach it, and flipping it on actually seemed to have worked. Everyone took a few seconds recovering, and then they all paused at almost the same instant. Silently they waited, heads shifting this way and that. Ten seconds passed. Then twenty. Then thirty. "Maybe it's gone." He heard Mandy murmur. Almost immediately she was shushed from two different directions at once. Another full minute passed before everyone finally seemed to start to relax. "You think it's over?" Lily finally asked softly, glancing around. "I hope so." Julian replied, looking somewhat relieved. "Because that's one experience I'd be happy to never go through again." "What the fuck was that?" Jake asked petulantly, glaring at all of them but Mandy as if it were somehow their fault. "Damned if I know." Seth muttered, shaking his head. "But that phone call... The voice on the other end sounded like it was coming from really far off. It told me to pick up the board, said we weren't finished yet. And the way I felt when I heard it..." Seth just shivered slightly. "It was like the voice was doing something to my head." "The call... It was..." Karen started and then paused, and her eyes shifted meaningfully towards the Ouija board where it lay on the floor before shifting back. "Him? You're sure?" she asked, staring at him as if the question were a matter of life and death. "I can't be absolutely sure of anything like that.. But I think it was him, yeah. The way I felt hearing that voice.. It was like I could feel someone beside me. Someone who wasn't really there. I've never felt anything like that before." Seth answered. Karen visibly swallowed, her eyes once more shifting back to the board. "That shouldn't be possible. I mean, I've heard stories, everyone has, you know. That's why they're called ghost stories, it's just.. No spirit is supposed to be that powerful. I mean no real spirit is supposed to be able to do that kind of thing. Minor effects maybe but.. Nothing like that." "What the hell are you guys babbling about?" Jake demanded. Mandy laid one hand on his arm but he just shook it off. "Someone set this up. They had to have. That kind of shit... It just doesn't fucking happen. It was some kind of a trick, I know it was. So which one of you did it?" "You're not helping things." Julian said, leaning slightly against the door. "Shut up, fag!" Jake spat, turning sharply towards the boy and just glaring. "If I want your opinion, I'll fucking give it to you." Julian's expression went cold, his arms folding themselves over his chest. "Given what just happened, I'll let that slide once as temporary insanity. But if you don't shut up right now, sit down, and stay silent.. I'm going to break you." He said it simply, in an icy tone, as if stating an obvious fact. Almost immediately Jake started walking towards him, a grin spreading over his face. "Oh yeah? I'd like to see you try." He taunted. Julian struck so fast Seth could barely even follow the motion. Jake certainly couldn't. Julian's fist slammed into the side of Jake's face, the force of the blow spinning the guy slightly to the side, and Julian was moving the instant after his fist made contact. He simply took one strong step around and behind the other boy before he could recover, and then he lashed out with one foot. He caught Jake cleanly in the back of the knee. Seth actually got the impression that Julian had held back, as with the angle of the blow, a kick at full force should've caused an audible 'pop' from the knee. Just the same the larger boy was forced to his knees, and in the next second Julian had his right arm wrapped around Jake's throat, his left hand grasping the right. For the second time that night Jake suddenly found himself choking, only this time Seth didn't really feel inclined to help. "Stop it." Julian said sharply. Jake was trying to struggle, his hands moving up to grasp the other boy's arm, but Julian simply used his leverage to tighten his hold. "If I jerk hard enough, there's a chance it does permanent damage, so be still." Julian told him in a softer, colder voice. Jake struggled for about two more seconds before finally going still. "You may think you're tough, you might think your size actually means something, but trust me, I can tear you apart with ease." The boy continued. Julian was only about 5'8", maybe a hundred-fifty pounds, so Seth was actually suitably impressed, given that Jake was already close to six feet tall and probably had a good twenty or thirty pounds on the blonde boy. "Now, in a minute I'm actually going to let you go. And you're going to be very very quiet. Because if you say so much as another word, I swear to god I'm not going to be so merciful next time. And if you think you really even stand a chance of taking me on, just try me." Julian told him, pausing for a few seconds before finally releasing, the boy just rising and taking a couple steps back. For awhile Jake just sat there, clutching his throat and coughing. Finally though he slowly got to his feet, turning to glare at the boy who'd just shamed him. Julian met his gaze head on and glared back. Jake's brown hair and dark eyes might have given him enough looks to win Mandy over, but at that moment the boy's expression had a certain almost childish petulance to it that Seth had to resist the urge to burst out laughing over. After a short time, not saying a single word, Jake eventually just turned and stormed to the door, grabbing the knob and jerking it open before stomping out. Mandy, after one quick look at the rest of them, went running out after him. A few seconds of complete silence passed, and then Sara spoke up. "This never happened." "What?" Karen asked, turning to look at the other girl. "I mean, it might be better if we just pretend this never happened. The whole ghost thing that is. Nobody would believe us anyways. And I know the less I talk about whatever that was, the better I'll feel." She explained, looking back and forth between them. "That's probably for the best." Lily said a few seconds later. "I mean, can you imagine telling someone you ran into a ghost? Either they'd look at you as if you were crazy.. Or even worse, they wouldn't, which probably means they're crazy." "Or they've gone through something like this themselves." Karen argued. "No, they're right." Seth said solemnly. "I seriously doubt I'll manage to forget this but... I'm not going to talk to anyone about it. And, there's no point in bringing it up again amongst ourselves. Best to just let what happened tonight stay buried. No pun intended." "What pun?" Sara asked, a confused expression on her face. "You know... Ghost... Stay buried... Get it?" Julian commented from near the door. "Ahhh, right, sorry." Sara said, just blushing. "Anyways, I'm headed up to my room to try and forget all this. Next time you want to do the whole Ouija Board thing, ask someone else." Seth told them, turning to stride towards the door of the room without another word. *** Two nights later, Seth was in his room on his computer. He hadn't even come close to forgetting what had happened, but he'd managed to at least reason out parts of it in his own mind. He was almost able to convince himself that it wasn't a ghost at all, even though deep down he knew at the same time that he really was only kidding himself. He had his own phone line, so he could be online without worrying about getting hassled by any of the females in the house. Not that that was very likely anyways, as Karen and Mandy had barely even so much as spoken a word to him since what happened. They didn't seem to be talking to each other much either. It was around nine or so. He'd just finished talking to a friend and had been about to disconnect from his ISP when he got the message. BlueRage16: Hello Seth. Now, this wouldn't have been so odd for him, if the name he was looking at wasn't his own. Unfortunately, though, it was. And given the fact that he sure as hell didn't send the message to himself, his nerves immediately went on alert. The only thought to occur to him was hacker, but though his mind was immediately scrambling through ideas, he couldn't come up with anything to do in response. BlueRage16: You can call me Thade. For a second the message held no real meaning for Seth, then he remembered. The feeling that hit him in that moment was like ice water being poured straight into his veins. It couldn't be. BlueRage16: Yeah, that Thade. You didn't really think you'd gotten rid of me, did you? It wasn't possible, it just wasn't. Seth didn't realize he was unconsciously shaking his head until several seconds later, at which point he forcibly stopped himself. It had to be one of the others, playing a trick of some kind. Maybe Jake.. But how in the heck could they have managed to pull off using his own SN to talk to him? BlueRage16: Doubting me? Try saying something. "Something." Seth replied, almost without thinking. He'd long since fallen into the habit of always sarcastically shooting back that line whenever someone asked him to say something. BlueRage16: Very funny. Like I never heard that one before. Seth paused, and then tried really saying something. If this was supposed to be the ghost, he'd find out quick enough. "Why not just call me on the phone? Why use... This?" he asked, almost unable to take his eyes off the screen. BlueRage16: Because if I did, and you told me to go to hell again, we'd have problems I'd have to deal with. And you don't want that. Seth just froze. Either Mandy or Karen was managing to pull off one hell of a joke, and neither of them was the type to try something like that... Or Seth already had problems. "Can you see me right now?" he finally asked softly. BlueRage16: Yes. The answer flashed on his screen almost instantaneously after he finished the sentence. Seth reached up and slowly, deliberately scratched the top of his head. "What am I doing right now?" BlueRage16: Well that depends. Is your scalp itching? Or are you just scratching for the hell of it? Seth felt a sinking feeling deep in his stomach. His door was shut, and he was pretty sure no one had managed to sneak a video camera into his room. Which meant a ghost had somehow gained control of his computer. Seth hadn't even known ghosts were supposed to be able to mess with a computer. "Why are you still here?" BlueRage16: Because I want to be. I don't feel like leaving yet. "But... The board isn't out anymore. We said goodbye, and.. You did what you did, and you were gone.. And we put the board up and all. You shouldn't be able to just come back." Seth said, saying the first thing to really enter his head. BlueRage16: You've got to be kidding me. Do you honestly believe that the bunch of you have the power to put me away just by stuffing the board into a box in the closet? Do you think you have the power to dictate to me when I can and can't be around, Seth? Doesn't work that way. When you open Pandora's box, you can't just close it again whenever you want. You may have brought me here, but you can't just send me back because you feel like it. "So why wait 'till now? Why wait two days from that night to do anything?" Seth demanded. BlueRage16: Because I wanted to take a little time to watch you. You and your sisters and their friends. To understand more about you, before I spoke to you again. Seth just shook his head again, not wanting to accept it, but finding he didn't have much choice. "Ghosts aren't supposed to be able to stick around like this, when this isn't the place they died or anything." BlueRage16: And what do you know of ghosts, Seth? What you've heard other people say? Let me share a little secret with you. Those like me are extremely rare. Most people who say they've seen a ghost are lying. Most people who believe they've seen a ghost are deluding themselves. Most places people call haunted aren't even close to it. And most people who use that board of yours are talking to themselves. The 'rules' you've heard are worthless, because the ones who offer them up know nothing. "So what... We were just lucky to manage to get you?" Seth asked, his tone nearly sarcastic but not-quite there. BlueRage16: Something like that. Only a very select few will ever wind up running into a real ghost. You should consider yourself lucky to be among them. But of course there's the downside. As I warned you on the board, those like me are dangerous. And we are far stronger then you imagine. You treat the board like a toy, to try and summon up a spirit to talk to for as long as it'll amuse you, as if speaking to one like me is a form of entertainment to be had for an evening. BlueRage16: But we aren't here for your entertainment, Seth. And while those who talk to nothing but themselves are able to gain amusement for awhile. When you actually wind up getting one such as me, we don't dance to your tune. You are not a puppet-master. And I see no strings. The two messages came up simultaneously, one right after the other. Seth guessed even a ghost couldn't make the program exceed its maximum text limit per message. "So what is it you want, then?" Seth queried. BlueRage16: Good question. But one I don't feel like answering. "Well how am I supposed to help you get it, then?" Seth pressed. BlueRage16: Even if I were to tell you, you couldn't give it to me. But I promise, you'll find out, in time. "So why is it you call yourself Death? That is what Thade is supposed to mean, right? An anagram for death?" Seth pondered aloud. Most of the messages came in quick sharp replies nearly as soon as he finished speaking, but this time there was actually a pause for a good fifteen seconds or so before he finally got an answer. BlueRage16: Let's just say being called by your group startled me. I had to think quickly, and that just happened to come to me. You're right about the origin of the name. I should have guessed at least one of you would figure it out. But you can continue to refer to me by Thade none the less. "Why not just give us your real name, that night? What is your real name, anyways?" He asked as he continued to avidly watch the screen. BlueRage16: First you raise my expectations for you, only to shoot them down just as quickly. It should be obvious that if I bothered to come up with the pseudonym, it's because I don't want to tell you my real name. Seth just paused for a minute before finally speaking. "Why talk to me now?" he asked in an even tone. BlueRage16: This was what you wanted, wasn't it? You and your friends? To talk to a dead person? I'm just giving you what you wanted. Besides, it amuses me. "So where did you come to us from, anyways? Hell?" Seth muttered as he watched the screen. BlueRage16: The Shadowlands. "And what the fuck are those?" Seth demanded. BlueRage16: That would be telling. Seth just closed his eyes, taking a few long deep breaths to try and stay as calm as possible. Letting whoever the spirit was frustrate him would only serve to cause even more problems. Finally he opened his eyes, ready to ask his next question, and stopped. On his screen, where the message had been, was nothing. It was as if the message had been closed, or had never been there at all. Since he didn't think the ghost was putting the stuff straight into his head, and he was pretty sure he wasn't crazy, that only left the thing having closed it. Which only made sense, he supposed, since if it could send messages there was no reason it shouldn't be able to close them out as well. It didn't take long for him to realize that with the way his mind was revolving around what had just happened, it was going to be awhile before he managed to go to sleep that night. *** "You saw it again?" Lily exclaimed, only it wasn't Seth she was staring at. It was Sara. It was the day after his online encounter, and Karen had sort of called a meeting. Well, more like she'd gotten her friends together, convinced Mandy to play along, and threatened to nag him for the rest of the night until he finally gave in as well. Seth was standing by the chair he'd first been sitting in, that night. Mandy was occupying it at the time, though. Across the room, Seth caught a glance of the both of them in the mirror. Seth was a little over six feet in height, with jet black hair and green eyes. He thought he had decent enough features. Mandy shared his hair and eye colors, but overall, she was definitely better looking then he. Though her tits were still on the smallish side, A-cup without question, she had an extremely attractive face. She deserved better then Jake. Luckily enough though, Jake wasn't there that night. It seemed Karen didn't invite the guy, and Seth certainly wasn't complaining. "Well, I didn't actually see it." Sara explained, glancing back and forth among them as if worried they might not believe her. "It's just that... Last night, right before I was going to go to sleep, my cell phone rang, and the display said the call was from 'Thade'. Well I start freaking out. I don't answer the phone, I just drop it on the bed, and start to walk towards my bathroom. I wanted to splash some water on my face because I was hoping I was just imagining things. The phone stops ringing, and I wind up reasoning out that it was probably some kind of prank. I'm walking out of my bathroom and back into my bedroom, and I reach back to flip the bathroom light switch off and... The bathroom door suddenly gets slammed on my arm." She said, holding up her left arm to display the visible bruise to them. "I mean it was literally slammed on my arm. I didn't touch the door, and there was no one in the bathroom. And there's no way it suddenly does it on its own. And right after the slamming, when I'm just starting to feel the pain, the phone rings again. Just once, before stopping. Like it was trying to tell me something. I think it was him." Sara said, her eyes finally turning to the ground as she waited for the rest of them to respond. There was a momentary pause, and then Karen broke in. "I had a dream last night." His sister said. Of the three siblings, Karen was the best looking. She shared Seth and Mandy's green eyes, but her hair was more brown then black. Still, she had a gorgeous face, and an incredible body. He figured her tits at about a C-cup, but it fit her light 5'4" frame very nicely. She also had a tight ass that had given even Seth thoughts a time or two when he'd watched her walk around the house in close-fitting jeans. Mandy was a couple inches shorter then Karen at around 5'2", but he figured she still probably had some growing left to do. "I was in my room." Karen continued, just watching them. "Laying on my bed, and there was this boy moving around the room, looking at things, touching them. I can't remember exactly what he looked like, but I think he seemed around eighteen or nineteen, with these intense eyes. Then suddenly he turns and looks at me, and we start talking. I don't remember most of what it was about, but I remember him calling himself Thade, and I was speaking to him as if I knew him. And there's one thing I clearly remember him saying. "It was at the end of the conversation. He told me I was... His, now. And then he walked up alongside the bed, and he reached out and laid his fingers on my forehead, and then I woke up." She said, taking a deep breath before going on. "This morning I just assumed I'd dreamed it because of what happened a few nights ago, since I'd been thinking about it a lot, you know? Until I talked to you." She finished, her eyes suddenly settling on Sara. "When I woke up this morning, I could've sworn I saw a shadowy figure standing next to my bed." Julian said, though he seemed reluctant to impart the information. "And when I was in the bathroom getting ready, I was sure that twice I saw a figure standing behind me in the mirror, watching me." He said, not seeming inclined to offer anything more. When a short time passed with the three who'd spoken up now looking avidly at the rest of them, and neither Lily nor Mandy saying anything, Seth finally just sighed and started speaking himself. "I talked to him last night. Thade, that is. Probably before any of the rest of your run-ins." He said solemnly, knowing what was coming and not liking it. "What!?!?" Karen demanded. Everyone was staring at him, now. "I was online, on my computer. And I started getting IM's from my own screen name. IM's I wasn't typing, or sending, from a person calling themselves Thade. I'm pretty much certain it was the ghost, since anything I said aloud it knew, I didn't have to type a single reply. Every move I made, it knew." Seth told them. "What did it say?" Julian asked, at the exact same time as Karen shot "Why didn't you tell me?" at him. "It... Actually, I think we better start calling it a he, because whether or not he's still one now, I'm pretty sure he was one in life. Since it's probably not a good idea to risk insulting him, we might as well play it safe. Anyways, he didn't tell me much. Mostly that we couldn't get rid of him, and that he was going to stay until he got what he wanted. Only he wouldn't say what it was. He did say it wasn't something we could give him, though." Seth told them all, though that didn't seem to be enough to make them stop staring. Just the same he turned his attention to Karen to answer her question as well. "I was going to... I think. I was considering how and when to tell you, guys, but I didn't want to sound... Like I was imagining things. It honestly didn't occur to me that he might mess with you guys too. It should have, but it didn't, if it had I wouldn't of waited. And I guess I figured he'd contact me again, since he already had, you know? I was hoping maybe I could get more information, something useful at least, before I came to all of you." "He didn't say anything more then that?" Julian asked, somehow managing to sound determined and disappointed at the same time. "Uhm... He said he was watching us.. And that real ghosts were extremely rare, and really powerful." Seth replied, just shrugging his shoulders. "And he admitted Thade wasn't his real name." Seth tacked on after it suddenly occurred to him. "Neither of you experienced anything?" Karen suddenly asked the two girls left to speak. Lily just shook her head, but Mandy paused for a few seconds before finally shaking hers. Karen just fixed a suspicious glare on her younger sister. "So what do we do?" Lily suddenly broke in, her eyes still fixed on Karen, which forced the other girl to finally shift her attention back. Karen paused, seeming to think about this before answering. "What can we do?" she asked in return, her voice almost depressed now. "I mean, I guess I'm supposed to know more about this sorta thing then anyone else here but.. I've never read about anything like this. Even a poltergeist shouldn't be able to mess with computers like that, or enter people's dreams. The only thing I can think of would be an exorcism, but I don't think those things are really supposed to work." "They probably don't." Seth muttered, trying to think. "Don't you know anyone who might know more about things like this? Someone who might be able to help?" "No." Karen replied solemnly. "And even if I did... It would mean telling others about this.. About what's happened. Are we even sure we want that?" she asked, looking around at the others. "I don't." Sara said, near immediately. There was a short pause, and then Mandy shook her head. There didn't need to be any more dissent then that. "Then there's nothing that can be done." Julian said quietly. "Except wait, and hope we learn something we can use." "And what if the things he does gets worse? If he can slam doors on people, who's telling what he'll do next?" Seth asked them. "I don't know. But I also don't know any way we could stop it, either. We need time. Time to think, to try to figure something out. Maybe one of us can figure a way out of this." Karen responded, just offering a helpless shrug. "Then I guess all we can do is meet up again in a few days, and hope one of us has come up with something. I'll see you guys then." Seth muttered, just shaking his head as he turned to head for the door. *** It was almost eleven when there was a knock on his door. His parents had gone to bed almost an hour before, Mandy had gone to bed at about the same. He was watching the end of a show on TV, planning on hitting the sack himself afterwards. As for Karen, the last time he'd left his room she'd been in the bathroom, and he'd heard the shower running. Which meant either she'd gotten out and was the one knocking, or he was getting a visit he really didn't want and would find no one on the other side. No physical body, at least. Taking a deep breath he rose from his chair and walked slowly over to the door to his room. As he paused, trying to calm his nerves, the knock came again, a bit louder this time. Hesitantly he reached out, grasping the doorknob and twisting, drawing it open and finding.. Karen standing on the other side, much to his relief. It actually took him a few seconds to notice she had nothing on but a towel. "Can I come in?" she asked softly, just smiling at him. "Uhm.. Sure." He replied, taken a little off-guard. Opening the door a bit further, he just stepped back and to the side to give her room to come in. As she was walking past him and into the room, Seth couldn't help but wonder what would cause her to want to talk to him so suddenly this late. And then just as quickly he had it. She must've had another run-in with Thade and decided to tell him about it. What other reason could there be? And then, just as he felt he had it, she reached about the halfway point into his room, and her towel suddenly slipped. He hadn't really been paying much attention to her as he'd been thinking, but the moment his eyes caught the motion of the towel falling, his focus immediately shifted one-hundred percent to her. There his gorgeous sister stood, her nude body full on display. She gasped softly and suddenly turned towards him as if to make sure he wasn't looking, and unfortunately though he knew he should avert his eyes he couldn't bring himself to. Her tits stood out proudly, round and firm, almost begging to be touched. The skin of her slender stomach was smooth and unblemished. And just the sight of the patch of pubic hair leading down to her pussy was enough to make him hard. He kept expecting her to at any second reach down to snatch the towel back up and cover herself, but she didn't. His eyes just roved over her incredibly sexy body for five seconds, then ten, then fifteen, and just as he was about to say something she spoke. "Sorry." She murmured, a smile once more working it's way across her face, though this one was almost sly. Not only did she not reach for the towel, but she actually suddenly caught it with one foot and kicked it to the side. Seth felt his voice catch in his throat. His mind was racing a hundred miles a second, and through it all he couldn't get his eyes to stop quickly switching back and forth between staring at his sister's tits, and staring at her pussy. Finally he managed to get something out, even though it was barely more then a whisper. "Karen..." He said near breathlessly, unsure of exactly what to say, but finally managing to wrench his eyes up away from her body and to her face, just staring at her eyes as he asked, "What are you doing?" "Giving you a show, silly." She replied, a soft giggle escaping her lips as she reached up to gently cup her own breasts in her hands. His eyes were immediately drawn back down as he watched her hands lightly roam over the flesh of her breasts, almost caressing them, her nipples visibly stiffening from the stimulation. "Why? Don't you like my body?" she queried, tilting her head to the side as she gave him a coy look, her hands sliding down from her breasts to rest lightly on her tummy. "I... You have an amazing body." He said honestly, having to dredge up every ounce of willpower he had just to get his eyes to go back up to her face once more. "But... But..." He stuttered, having a difficult time coming up with a line of reasoning that could lend any sanity to the notion of stopping her. "But.. Why are you... Showing me?" he asked lamely, most of his thought process having shut down somewhere around the time her towel dropped. "Well, I was thinking about you while I was showering." She told him, beginning to slowly back up, step by step. "About all the things you've done for me over the years, and I decided I wanted to make you feel good." She said softly, the backs of her legs suddenly touching his bed, and her body dropping almost gracefully back onto it. "To let you make me feel good." She continued, her smile almost teasing now. "That is, if you'd like to have fun with me. Do you wanna have fun with me, Seth?" For a moment Seth considered the possibility that he might be dreaming. But no, he was pretty sure he was awake, though just to be certain he pinched himself anyways. It hurt. "You're sure this is what you want?" Seth asked his sister. He'd always thought Karen was hot, and sure he'd checked out her body before, but he'd never in his wildest dreams ever seriously considered the possibility of actually fucking her. Of course, he'd never thought he'd have a chance to, either. And with that body, he wasn't sure he could possibly say no if she was really giving him the chance. Again she giggled softly, laying her palms flat on the bed and lifting her body up a bit so she could watch him more directly, her new position only serving to show off her incredible tits. Giving him a little wink, her voice was almost playful as she spoke. "Shut the door and come here, and I'll show you exactly what I want." It was only then Seth realized that the door was still open. Ever since his sister's body had become exposed he'd been a bit too preoccupied to notice. Almost instinctively he reached out to push the door shut, without even really thinking about it. Impulsively he knew that he didn't want anyone else in the family getting up, walking by, and looking in to see Karen naked on his bed. But as soon as the door closed he realized that he'd just pretty much implicitly accepted what she was offering. Oh well, he thought as a smile of his own suddenly spread across his face, it was a result he was just going to have to live with. As he began to walk towards his own bed, he felt a slight bit of nervousness mixed in with a lot of desire. He'd been with girls before, a few at least, but none of them had been as gorgeous as Karen was. His sister's body was near flawless, and though in the back of his mind he knew there was something very strange about her coming on to him all of a sudden, he really didn't care. As he neared the edge of the bed, Karen lifted herself to a sitting position, grinning as she reached out. He'd already changed into the usual shorts and boxers he slept in, and it was nothing for her to simply grab the waistbands of both and draw them down his legs in one smooth motion, causing his hard cock to come into view. Leaving his clothes around his ankles, she just moved one hand in to lightly wrap her fingers around the base of his cock. His hard rod was about seven inches long and two and a half inches thick, but in her delicate hand it somehow looked much bigger. "I can make it disappear." She told him with an impish look as she slid her hand up and down along the length of his shaft in a few smooth strokes. "Watch." She murmured as her head suddenly tilted in, her lips wrapping themselves around his cock. Seth just held his breath as he watched the first few inches of his hard staff vanish into his little sister's mouth, her head pausing for a moment as her tongue began to tease his cock, lapping at the underside of his shaft in quick little licks. Just as suddenly as she'd started though, the movement of her tongue stopped, but it was made up for by the fact that her hand suddenly released the base as her head resumed moving forward, inch after inch of his hard dick sliding into his sister's warm wet mouth, until finally he felt the head of his cock slide into her throat, the last inch of his rod sinking smoothly between her hot lips as they came to rest at the base of his shaft. Seth couldn't help but grin. He'd never been deep- throated before, and he'd never have guessed his sister was skilled enough to do it. Then suddenly she swallowed, the muscles of her throat working around his cock, and Seth just groaned in pleasure. Karen was full of pleasant surprises. Very slowly she drew her head back, his cock steadily re-appearing from between her lips, coated with her saliva. When the head finally slipped out from between her lips, she just mmm'ed softly before smiling and looking up at him. "See?" "Magic." He agreed. "But I'd really like to see the trick again, if you don't mind." That got a soft laugh out of her. "I sort of had the feeling you would." She told him, before her head once more moved in. As Seth felt his cock once more sink into the wet warmth of his sister's mouth, he closed his eyes for a moment, just focusing on the sensation as more and more of his hard staff slid back between her lips. She only let the first five inches or so slip into her mouth though before she began to bob her head, her warm lips sliding back and forth along his thick stick as she sucked, his eyes finally snapping back open to see her cheeks concaved around his cock as her head bobbed along it. Unable to resist he reached in with one hand, laying it on the top of her head and using just a bit of pressure to get her to speed up the movement of her lips along his cock. She didn't resist in the slightest, adjusting her movement to the pressure of his hand, her head bobbing at a swift steady pace back and forth along his dick, her tongue taking small swipes at his shaft here and there. He suddenly felt her hands on his thighs, helping to hold her balance, but he didn't care, he was focused entirely on the sensation of her mouth around his cock. Her head worked quickly back and forth, his hard rod sliding smoothly in and out between her sensual young lips, her tongue becoming a bit more active against his cock as she sucked. Just as he was starting to get into the fluttering of her tongue against his staff though, it suddenly came to a halt. But as he was quickly pleased to discover, this was just a repeat of her earlier trick. Once more her head moved all the way forward, the first couple inches of his stick sinking into her tight throat. Only this time she didn't pause there, but continued to quickly work her head back and forth along his hard shaft, his cock sliding into her throat with every stroke. "God, Karen. That's incredible." He finally just murmured softly as he enjoyed getting a blowjob from his gorgeous and very naked sister. The entire situation seemed somehow surreal. He kept getting the feeling that any second he was gonna snap out of it and realize it had all just been some kind of fantasy. But the feel of her lips and throat around his cock were very very real, and he soon began to feel his pleasure starting to build. "Uhm... If you keep that up, I'm gonna." He got cut off there though when she just hmmm'ed loudly around his cock. After that he just shut up. She actually speeded up the pace of her lips back and forth along his cock, the thick rod sliding smoothly but steadily in and out of her mouth and throat, the sight of his dick buried between his sister's lips only served to drive him higher. Just as he started to reach the edge though she suddenly pulled her head back until just the head of his cock remained inside her mouth. Her right hand releasing his thigh and moving into to grasp the base of his cock, beginning to quickly slide back and forth along it. It took only a few seconds of this before his cock finally jerked; the first hot spray of his cum shooting into his sister's mouth. He could see the muscles of her throat working as more and more of his pearly cum jetted over his sister's tongue, the whole load being steadily swallowed by her, until his cum finally slowed to a dribble. Karen let the head of his cock slip from between her lips, flashing a quick smile up at him before she extended her tongue and began to deliberately lap up the last few drops of his cum as they leaked from his cock. When she seemed sure that she'd gotten it all, she pulled the rest of the way back, just giving him another impish look. "Told you I could make it disappear." She said in a sly tone. Just as he was about to reply she suddenly stretched back out onto her back, spreading her legs nice and wide, and serving to immediately draw his eyes down to her now openly displayed pussy. He could see the glisten of wetness on the lips of her pussy as her right hand suddenly reached in to spread the lips of her cunt open with her fingers, making her hole and clit clearly visible. "Wanna see where else we can make it disappear?" Seth just stared and swallowed, unable to find his voice for a second. "You're sure this is what you want, Karen?" he finally asked when he found his voice. She just grinned at him. "Big brother, if you keep asking me stupid questions, I might just start giving you stupid answers. Now get over here already." Seth decided to do the noble thing and just take her advice. As he stared at her pussy he found that his hard-on didn't even flag in the slightest. It had been awhile since he'd last had that happen. "Scoot back just a little." He murmured to her, and still grinning she complied. Very slowly he kicked the last of his clothes, which had still been around his ankles, off to the side. With a deep breath he climbed on the bed between her legs, fully aware the entire time that he was about to fuck his own flesh-and-blood sister, and finding more and more that he just didn't care. Kneeling between her legs, he reached out to gently cup her incredible tits in his hands, leaning forward a bit as he did until his cock hovered only a couple inches away from her pussy. Her breasts were just as amazing as he thought they'd be, soft but firm, her hard little nipples digging into his palms as he gently stroked and squeezed the young flesh. She just mmm'ed softly as his fingers roamed over her supple skin, her eyes staring up at his face. Giving her breasts one last squeeze, he lifted his hands away, before just reaching down between them with his right hand, grasping the base of his cock, and guiding it in the last couple inches until the head brushed against the lips of her young pussy. Taking a deep breath, he positioned the head of his cock against the entrance of her cunt and began to press forward. He just watched as her pussy stretched open and the first couple inches of his hard stick slid smoothly inside her, the velvety warmth of her cunt wrapping itself around his cock as he steadily sank more and more of his thick rod deep into his sister's hole. Releasing the base of his cock, Seth shoved his hips forward, the last couple inches of his dick vanishing into his sister's pussy in one smooth stroke. He paused the for a second, just enjoying the feel of his sister's hot wet hole, only faintly surprised that she wasn't a virgin. Finally though he just laid his hands on the bed to either side of her and began to pump. He heard her gasp as he began to slide his hard staff deeply in and out of her tight young cunt, one of her hands drifting between her legs to begin teasing her clit as he began to thrust his cock in and out of his sister's pussy in hard fast strokes. In only a few seconds he'd swiftly built up the pace until he was pounding his thick rod back and forth inside her, fucking his younger sister for all he was worth. Gritting his teeth, he just stared down at her as he slammed his cock deeply in and out of her, enjoying the look of pure ecstasy on her face as he screwed his cock back and forth inside her tight cunt. Her fingers were already nearly flying over her clit, and he'd only been hammering his cock in and out of his sister's wet pussy for about a minute when he suddenly felt her cunt convulse around his hard rod, the inner walls of her pussy rhythmically contracting around his thick staff. She wasn't a screamer, but she did emit some guttural moans from her throat that made having his own sister cum on his hard cock even sexier. Finally she calmed a bit, but then she just smiled and suddenly her hips were humping upwards to meet his with every stroke of his cock deep into her tight hole, urging him on as he fucked her. Staring into his little sister's eyes as he drilled his stiff dick in and out of her only seemed to make it all the more erotic, and even though he'd already cum only moments before he wasn't sure how long he was gonna last. He could feel his hands clenching slightly against the bed as he hammered his hard rod back and forth inside her, so intense was the feel of her tight teenage pussy wrapped around his cock. He could hear the sound of their flesh smacking against each other each time their hips met, his cock being thrust to the hilt into her hot cunt every time. Though he was mostly silent, he could hear her moaning softly as he fucked her hard and fast. Nothing like the guttural noises she'd made when she came, but it was enough to spur him to even faster speeds of pounding his hard cock deeply into his sister's young hole. Still her hips managed to match his pace, humping up at him with every stroke and causing his thick stick to slide even deeper inside her. He almost missed a beat when she suddenly spoke. "Cum inside me." She murmured softly as she stared back at his eyes. It both shocked him and somehow intensified his pleasure. He didn't even think about it, he just resumed hammering his cock in and out of her with renewed vigor. It only took a few more seconds before he felt his pleasure once more starting to build, his cock jerking inside his little sister's pussy as his hot cum began to shoot deep into her eager young cunt. His fucking was reduced to short quick strokes and he suddenly found himself biting his lip so hard it was a wonder it wasn't bleeding as he pumped his cum into his sister's tight hole, never having experienced such an intense orgasm in the whole of his life. Finally he felt it ebb, and with a gasp he collapsed on top of her, taking some long deep breaths and a few seconds to recover some energy before he finally lifted himself off her, rolling onto his side and just smiling at the girl. For a moment she just smiled back at him, and then suddenly he saw her expression change. It was like a quick and complete transformation, from a look of near blissful contentment to one of horror, and then revulsion. With a strangled noise Karen leapt off his bed, not saying so much as a word to him as she dashed to his door. He just stared on in shock as she hurriedly jerked the door open and then vanished out of it into the hall. She was still completely naked, but since everyone else was asleep no one appeared to have seen her. At least not that he could tell. A few seconds later he heard her door slam. Utterly confused and unsure of what to do, Seth just slid off his bed and quickly gathered up his clothes, putting them back on as swiftly as he could. Then he just sat on the edge of his bed, staring at the floor. He was scared and worried. If his sister had suddenly changed her mind about everything after the sex, well... He loved his sister, and as much as he didn't want his relationship with her to suffer, what he was most worried about at that moment was the possibility that she might tell their parents. Or perhaps her friends, who might then spread it to other kids around town who would then themselves spread it, and... Well, if word got out that he'd fucked his own sister... Some people would automatically assume he must've raped her. And those who didn't would still shun him. He'd be mocked and ridiculed throughout school. He'd probably have difficulty ever getting a date with a girl from that town again. He had to talk to Karen. He did want to check to see if she was ok, and his gut instinct did say that she'd never tell anyone about what happened. But still, foremost in his mind, was the need to make absolutely sure that she had no intention of ever talking about what had happened that night. After all, it had been her who seduced him. It wasn't his fault, and he shouldn't have to suffer for it. On the verge of panicking, Seth quickly stood from his bed and began the walk to Karen's room. *** As Seth knocked on his sister's door, he could hear sobbing coming from inside the room. He was trying to be as quiet as possible with his knocking so as not to wake anyone else in the house, but she still should've easily been able to hear it. Just the same, there was no response. Finally he reached down and tried the doorknob. Finding it unlocked, he took a deep breath and slowly opened it, stepping inside and shutting the door behind him. She was curled up on her bed, crying. And it both caused an odd ache inside him, and served to confuse him all the more at the same time. And maybe even made him angry a little. After all, it hadn't been him who'd gotten naked in her room and tried to initiate the sex. No, that had been all her doing, so why was she acting like this now? And then it hit him. "It was him, wasn't it?" he asked softly, suddenly unsure once more how to feel. He was just numb. He could barely even think, except to keep cycling over the idea that what had just happened hadn't really been his sister's choice. "I... I don't... Know..." Karen sobbed, laying trembling on her covers. She hadn't dressed, but at the moment he wasn't feeling any sexual impulses. Almost instinctively he walked over to her bed and climbed up on it to sit near her, hesitantly stretching his arms out towards her. She lifted her head just enough to look at him, and he could see the tears streaking her face. For several long seconds she just paused, doubt on her face, and then finally she just flung herself into his arms, her face burying itself against his neck as she cried. The feel of her naked body against his through his clothes was enough to stir some small reaction in him, but he quickly shoved it to the back of his mind, just holding her and making soft soothing noises. He waited for her sobbing to subside a bit before he finally spoke. "Just tell me what happened." He whispered softly in her ear, gently stroking her back in a comforting manner. It took another ten seconds or so before she finally answered, and when she did her voice was choked. "I was just showering. One second everything was normal, and the next... I don't know... It's like something came over me. I suddenly became... Intensely happy, you know? Well, not really happy, more like content. Or blissful. "I felt like everything was alright with the world and everything was alright with my life and nothing could ever go wrong. And I felt good... Really good. And then these thoughts started popping into my head. It was like I was thinking them but... They weren't really mine. Like they were being put there. To get out of the shower and put the towel on. And to head to your room and... You know the rest." She said, short sobs occasionally coming between words, finally coming to a halt for a minute to catch her breath before finally going on. "Whenever I spoke it was like the words just came to me. I didn't even think them, really, I just said them. And nothing I said or did seemed wrong then, like I said... Everything just seemed right, like nothing could ever be wrong. And then, after we... After..." She paused, her body shaking in his arms with a renewed burst of sobbing. He just held her patiently, not saying anything, just waiting until she was ready to continue. "It was like the contentment just faded." She finally said, her voice barely above a whisper. "The feeling was just gone, and everything suddenly just hit me, you know? What we'd done?" she asked, before finally lifting her head back up so she could stare at his face. Her eyes were red from crying, and there were still a few tears streaking down her face, though nothing near like before. "Wasn't that how it was for you?" Seth realized he was being given an easy out. He could just cop to experiencing the same thing she had, and everything would probably be fine again. Or at least as much as it could be fine again. But, staring into her eyes, he found he couldn't bring himself to lie to her. "No." He told her quietly, shaking his head. "There wasn't any happiness or contentment or anything like that for me. There wasn't... Anything that I could consider was somehow his influence." He said, feeling suddenly deeply ashamed. Especially when she suddenly recoiled as if he'd slapped her, jerking out of his arms. "You mean... You mean when you did that to me, you were still... Really you?" she asked, her eyes almost pleading with him to say no. "Yes." He said, bowing his head before going on. "It's just... I'm a guy, and you're so amazingly beautiful, Karen. I mean, I know you're my sister, and normally I would never have thought of you that way but... You just came strolling into my room and dropped your towel and... You have such an incredible body that I couldn't help being turned on by it." He told her, blushing a deeper red then he ever had before in his life. "And then you pretty much invite me to have sex with you... And I didn't know that it wasn't you, I swear I didn't... I mean, something strange was obviously going on, but your body was so sexy that I just couldn't seem to think straight. And when I thought that was really what you wanted... You're so gorgeous that I couldn't bring myself to resist." He told her, his voice both soft and sad, now. "I'm sorry. I really am. Had I known it wasn't really you I swear to god I never would've laid a single finger on you. I never would've even considered it... I swear." He whispered, before just repeating himself. "I'm sorry..." There was another long pause before finally he suddenly felt her arms around his neck again, and she delivered a kiss to the top of his head. "I forgive you." She whispered. "With the way I went in there. I... I honestly can't blame you. I blame him, for doing what he did to me. That fucking bastard Thade." As soon as she said the name, her cell phone suddenly rang across the room. Both of them jerked as suddenly as if they'd been shot, and almost as one their heads twisted around to stare towards it. The phone rang just once before stopping. They both just stared at it. Ten seconds later, it rang again, only once, before again stopping. It was enough, they'd gotten the message. *** (And thus ends the first part of this story. To be continued in Part 2, where Thade's manipulation and control over the group only grows stronger. But who will he control next, and what will he make them do? And most important of all... Who is Thade, really? What does he want from them? And just what is he truly capable of? There's only one way to find out. Stay tuned.) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This story was written as an adult fantasy.
