Alive bond

Enemy part 2

Now we find ourselves deep into the essence of the universe. There, there is no matter,only energy. And beings made from it that have been imprisoned there for a very long time.

-Master,i have returned.

An evil presence emerged from within the mist of energy, emitting so much hatred,that even the most fearless demon of Hell would have bowed before it

-You say as if this is good news.

-Forgive my failure sir. It wont happen again. Next time she will be perished as if she never existed

-It seems your time spent here has diminished your intelligence. Brother,where are you?

An other presence appeared,not so dark as the one before but still highly dangerous and not very pleased for being summoned

-What? Do you know how much work needs to be done for our return? Or do you think we have a large amount of competent subjects?

-Yes,I apologise but do remind me what were the orders this subject was given?

The newly arrived presence looked in the direction of the subject and thought briefly

-It was to investigate Fotini's new experiment and report the problems it poses to our plans and....food supply

-Do you want to know what he did?

-Be quick about it. I have work to do

-He poisoned her

For a few moments there was silence. The poor subject thought he would get away with it. And then....

-WHAT? WHY DO WE HAVE TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING EVEN IN THIS ABYSS?? NOW NOT ONLY FOTINI PROBABLY KNOWS WE ARE AWAKE BUT ALSO HER DAUGHTER'S DAMN IMMUNE SYSTEM HAS DEVELOPED IMMUNITY TO OUR POISON FROM HER BRIEF EXPOSURE TO IT? I cant deal with so much stupidity. I have limits

With a wave of his hand the subject was no more. It dissolved back to free energy

-So what do we do now?

-We have lost the element of surprise. At least to some extent. It is possible this girl doesnt know what we are and what we are capable of and I doubt her mother is going to tell her. But certainly we need to handle this carefully from now on.

-We will kill her or turn her to our side?

-Killing her would be boring and with short benefits. We will eat the bond and after a thousand years we will get hungry again. Making her betray her family is a bit too difficult and we would be forced to pretend being her friends for the rest of eternity simply to feed. Thats undignified

-Correct. But if we feed on her and at the same tine we keep her alive for a adequate amount of time we will be able to save some energy and thus lasting ourselves longer.

-You mean killing her slowly?

-I dont like the world kill. It is too savege. We will do something more elegant. We feed on pure energy. Just the past millenia you have discovered that the physical connection between humans is more tasty and nutritious. You dont need her healthy or sane to make a meal out of her. We simply want her alive.

-I like the way you think. You will make her incapable of defending herself and when she is weak enough,we will have a feast

-Indeed. I think i i should head down there personally to oversee this plan.I believe i have seen enough of humans to be able to look like them and have their energy pattern. We are lucky energy can travel through anything. We have knowledge of the entire universe.

-Bye,i will make sure your work here doesn't fall behind

-You better

Angelica was walking alone,deep in thought. She was confused. First her mother told her the plan was to protect human bonds and then she was poisoned by an enemy she didnt know she had. But then her mother sent her quickly back here as if telling her to prepare for battle. Generally speaking,she didnt know what to do.
