Chapter 58 Eat, Devour, in Pleasure

Zel’s story continues:

"This... this annoying as shit...!!"

My head hung downwards as my hands raced atop my head—eyes unable to focus and hair pulled in disarray.

I was in the middle of the town—walking, getting eyed by everyone passing by as my emotions intensified even further.

My mouth opened slightly—saliva dripping out with eyes wide and hollow.

"Th...is... uhg..."

Tears began flowing out of my eyes—stumbling between my steps and brushing against people that wouldn’t muster a word.

"I’m... so hungry... so... so..."

Went in-between two small buildings and kneeled down—nausea was overwhelming, I couldn’t contain this thirst any longer.

"You know what you need to do, big brother," whispered a voice across me—giddily without so much as a glimmer of melancholy.

"Can you... shut the fuck for once...!!?" I voiced as I sharply thrust my hand forward, shoving the air towards him.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

Teary-eyed, I glanced at him—he began prancing around like a princess with a good-for-nothing grin.

He continued vomiting words out of his little mouth...

"Brother, brother, brother!!"

"Can you stop being so fucken’ flippant?! Jolly fuck, you piss me off!!"

He proceeded to sigh—my eyes were still on him, so I witnessed in full glory his display of disappointment.

"So, will you continue starving yourself?—you’re not some 14-year-old girl, you know!!"

"Ha...ha... so..."

My hands went on my stomach—growling like a black hole, the discomfort was truly suffocating.

"...funny."

"I’m being serious here!! I don’t know what you’re trying to prove here—you’ll just starve to death," for the first time, his tone slightly twinkled in worry as well.

How long has it even been since I ate anything without throwing it up?—four days?—five or six?—maybe?—I don’t fucking know!!

"Then let me fuckin’ starve, bitch!!"

As I said that, I further dropped—fully on my knees, hands on the stomach.

Then...

*BLEEEHHHH*"

A drizzle of dark red blood... what the fuck is happening!! Shit!!

"I get that you’re not that keen on eating some stranger or whatever, but I’m being a good brother and offering you myself."

Afterwards, he sat down next to me—hand limp on his knee, staring straight at me while my eyes were locked onto the dark puke instead.

"Come on, Zel, why are you so against it?—you know, I wouldn’t offer you something like this if it weren’t good for your mental," this time his voice was slightly monotone—a faint tiredness carried by repetition.

"Ya, what about you eat my cock instead?—what about dat, eh?"

Instantly, he stood up and yet again sighed.

My eyes went onto him and then he nodded his head sideways in disapproval—or, actually, in predictability.

"I’ll have to force you then—what choice do I have?" the spirit of his voice further got dragged, this time almost seeming malevolent or angry.

"And how will ya do that?—force-feed me or somethin’?"

A subtle grin was on my face—just one eye was on him as I said that line, the other one closed in pain.

"Well, big brother, you’re quite against murder already—even though it’s so normal normal normal here!"

I flinched.

"Yeah—what about it?" I let out, with mild apprehensiveness mixed in.

He turned around—his back in front of me.

"Eh?!"

Gone... he was gone.

I looked around—he wasn’t anywhere!!

Where’d that fuck go?!

I didn’t even fuckin’ blink—how could he just disappear like that?!

Then, just seconds later...

A human body dropped from the air.

And he landed on top of it.

"Don’t worry—he’s alive, but I can’t guarantee that for long."

I stood up and dazzily stumbled on my feet—my vision was so fuckin’ blurry, I couldn’t focus whatsoever!!

Put my palm on his shoulder.

"Even— even if you kill him, I won’t eat him—shouldn’t that be obvious?"

With empty eyes, he skimmed over me—just momentarily, then his eyes went back towards the body on the ground.

"Oh, is that so?—I don’t particularly care, to be honest, I’ll still kill him regardless of what you do."

"You fuck!!"

I let out as I further gasped and yet again dropped on my knees...

"See?—you’re powerless! Even if you wanted to stop me, there’s nothing you can physically do!!" the volume of his voice increased—animosity slightly subsided.

Breathing in struggles, for a few moments I couldn’t even use my words.

He sat down and put his hand over his throat—grabbing it and then raising his body along with himself.

"Now..."

His eyes pierced me...

"Zel... what will you do?—will you allow yourself to devour me or will we start piling up bodies on your conscience?"

I had already made my decision—my gaze went over this guy, he looked like a teenager.

Closed my eyes...

"Do what ya will—I can’t control you," I muttered as I looked away.

"That’s one..."

The body proceeded to drop on the ground...

Then I felt a soft hand on my chin—forced my eyes to clear and vividly perceive both the dead boy and the man that caused this.

"Now..."

His voice yet again basked in lightheartedness... with a smile as well.

"Who will be the second one?"

Immediately, my eyes widened...

"Fuk you mean second one?!"

"Did you really think we’d stop at just one body?—no, no, Zel, we will keep going until you submit to your desires."

I didn’t know what to answer...

"Do— okay, do what you want to."

His tone danced on the line of emptiness and jolliness—constantly switching between the two.

"Oh, is that so?"

Then... before I could even blink...

Another body dropped from the sky...

"This one’s a child—a little girl, but you don’t care, right, big brother?"

"I’ll..."

My voice got embraced by anger this time...

"I’ll fuckin’ kill you, piece of shit...!!"

"Then do that—but first, regain your strength like you’re supposed to."

"Tsk..." I instinctually let out as my eyes yet again kissed the wall.

"It’s okay, big brother," his voice was no longer stuck in a limbo—it became soft and tender, caring and loving beyond comprehension.

He walked up and hugged my decomposing body, then reiterated once more...

"It’s okay... just take a bite from my neck and this will all be over—okay?"

"Ahhhh... you... you fuck!!"

Then...

I bit into my brother’s neck—and began chomping on it.

"Mmmmmhh... just like that, Zel."

Ah... fuck!! Why does it taste so sweet...!!

The entirety of my body started burning in this... uncanny warmth...!! Like the best cigarette of your life... the one that got your soul helplessly addicted...!!

"Ahhh...auhhhh..." he blurted as my instincts took over...

I began aggressively devouring him... something took over me...!!

I couldn’t resist it any more...

"This... tastes so incredible...!!"

"Told— I told you..."

Once I let go of his body, it dropped on the ground motionless.

Meanwhile my body...

My body...!!

I raised my hands and power surged through my blood...

Warm and omnipotent...!!

Unseemly strength I’ve never tasted before...!!

And now it’s here... it’s home...

It’s with me...!!
