BXBX NOVEL Chapter 177: I See You....
Chapter 177: I See You….
“I see you….” Sophie growled in a low husky voice as she slowly approached Cleo with jerky, uneven footsteps.
“Did you think that you could hide from me?”
“Can you run from a hunter?”
Sophie’s right eye shone with a crimson light as she stared at the humanoid creature hidden deeply inside her girlfriend’s body.
It resembled a shadowy stick figure with four dark tendrils that menacingly spread throughout Cleo’s body and tightly wrapped around each of her organs.
Sophie did not know what this alien thing was but could feel an attractive core of energy in the center of its biomass.
Her vision was still split between two different worlds but the pink hue in her left eye was gradually beginning to fade.
Hungry….
HUNGRY….
MUST FEED.
Sophie’s fangs lengthened and the blade-like appendages on her back started to move around restlessly.
Droplets of saliva dripped out of her open mouth and fell to the ground where they burnt small holes in the carpet.
“Snap out of it Sophie!” Cleo scrambled backwards in fear as the hybrid girl walked closer with a devilish smirk.
She did not want to send out another psychic attack as there would be an increased risk of permanent brain damage to the victim with each successive use of the Mental Spike technique.
Sophie froze for a moment as she saw the beautiful princess staring at her with an expression of terror.
This was wrong.
How could the girl she loved look at her like that?
“No…I….” Sophie clutched her head in pain as she felt her mind being ripped apart.
This brief moment of clarity was enough for Sophie to get a decent grasp on the situation, so she immediately tried to move away from Cleo.
She stumbled and nearly fell as she somehow managed to move her legs to rush into the bathroom.
Sophie slammed the door tightly shut and then shouted at Cleo from inside the room, “Cleo! Lock the bathroom from the outside and under no circumstances should you open it!”
The princess moved quickly, and Sophie was relieved to hear the mechanical whirring noises of the lock slowly being activated.
She squatted down on the ground and held her face in her palms as she could not help but think of what a burden she was to Cleo.
She came to a decision at that moment.
After this incident passed…. she would break up with Cleo.
Sophie loved the princess too much to be constantly putting her in danger whenever she lost control.
These gifts from the Weaver were not a blessing….
They were a curse.
The minutes ticked by and soon turned into hours as Sophie fought desperately not to surrender to the strange power spreading through her body.
She eventually lost the battle.
Sophie’s sense of reason was disappearing rapidly and her once clear thoughts now appeared to be trapped within a cloudy fog.
The crimson colour in her right eye shone even brighter and these conflicted feelings soon disappeared without a ripple.
Sophie growled with animalistic fury as her instincts fully took over and she found herself alone without her prey.
Why am I here?
Where was it?
She could sense that the wretched creature was still nearby……
Both eyes were now fully red, and Sophie’s vision soon turned into a world of yellowish orange as her sight now extended to beyond the door.
She saw a figure nervously pacing around the room with a dark shadowy entity hidden inside of her body.
There you are…
Meanwhile Cleo was sick with worry as it had been quite a long time since Sophie had locked herself in the bathroom and she was starting to get concerned.
Sophie was not carrying any weapons and the mechanical doors built in the royal suite of the hotel could resist blows from cultivators in the qi tide stage.
Maybe it was due to the sudden nature of the emergency, but Cleo made the mistake of forgetting one important detail….
Sophie herself was a weapon.
Stab!
The blade-like appendages on her back easily tore through the metallic door with ease and Sophie kicked the remains out of the way.
Cleo was caught off guard and froze in surprise for a few seconds but that was more than enough time for Sophie to rapidly close the distance.
Cloud Treading Dragon!
Sophie’s image blurred and she instantly appeared in front of the princess with a bloodthirsty smile on her face.
Cleo did not even have time to react before Sophie gripped her throat tightly and hoisted her up into the air.
“I will eat your body and sacrifice your soul to the Weaver,” Sophie hissed and squeezed tighter.
The soft tender flesh of her girlfriend’s neck that mere hours before was being kissed relentlessly was now held with murderous intentions.
“Sophie…. Sophie…. stop…. it,” Cleo struggled for air desperately.
She was caught between a rock and a hard place.
It was clear that Sophie had fully lost control, but the high risk of potential brain damage still made Cleo feel reluctant to use another mental attack.
Sophie gazed at the princess with an indifferent expression but then something unexpected occurred.
Badump! Badump! Badump!
Cleo could feel her heartbeat steadily beating as a warm tingling feeling spread from the front of her chest.
Badump! Badump! Badump!
The mark branded on Cleo’s chest started to glow a pinkish colour and Sophie could feel her emotions gradually begin to calm down.
Cleo found herself filled with a feeling of deep inner peace and confidence.
She somehow knew exactly what to say and the words flowed freely out of her mouth.
“I love you,” Cleo stared deeply into Sophie’s eyes with an overwhelming emotional mix of warmth and concern.
An invisible connection formed between the two girls that brought Sophie back to her senses.
Sophie’s eyes slowly returned to their normal golden hue as her grip loosened slightly which allowed Cleo to break free.
“Are you back to norma….” Cleo cautiously spoke but was interrupted by Sophie fiercely pressing her lips against hers.
Cleo closed her eyes in bliss as she felt the sweet taste of her girlfriend’s lips and the long tongue hungrily exploring the inside of her mouth.
Sophie did it.
She had managed to break free of her hunting state.
