Experiment 1:

Renna stared across the table with a silent intention. Her eyes gazing beyond the young man?s skull, as he ate away at his bread and cheese. Ignoring the ruckus of a nearby table of drunkard humans, suddenly she smiled at him, ?Does it taste good??

?Yesmph,? Spoke Yarin, nodding his head enthusiastically.

Clickclickclack, went her mechanical hand against the tabletop in its unsettling rhythm. ?I am going to play a game, and I want you to help me. You see, I know you?re an escort, and you?re paid to make sure I have a good time, I do, however, desire your company and nothing more.?

?That?s fine,? he said with a terribly handsome smile between golden locks, ?I sometimes get weird ones that just want me to stand next to them in the street for a few hours?? He frowned at that, but regained his smile as he munched down more bread with his beer and cheese.

?What a shame?? She sighed disinterestedly, but regained a strange curiosity when she eyed a single bead of sweat dribbling down his brow. ?How do you feel??

Yarin blinked, then sighed a little himself. ?To be honest I want to feel like I used to. You know? Back in the good old days of youth??

Renna chuckled seductively, ?Oh really? What about all the naughty things you get to do women?? She perked a brow, ?Isn?t that a better feeling??

?Suppose.? He shrugged, before adding, ?Aren?t you going to have some?? He lifted some of the sourdough towards her.

?Oh,? She lifted her fleshed hand while apologetically dipping her head forward, ?Please, I made it for my partner, but it will do just as good filling up the stomach of a poor, handsome young man??
Yarin grinned, ?Won?t your husband get a little jealous??

?Husband?? She snickered a bit at that, ?Nah, I think, my hunny will not mind this time.?

?Oh? He?s that kind of a guy?? He grinned while he struggled not to think of dirty antics, he quickly turned his attention to the hearth, ?Is it hot in here??

Renna shrugged a little, ?Ah, I don?t really feel hot or cold at the moment. Are you alright? It looks like you?re a little pale?? Standing, she slowly made for her cloak, and slipped it over her shoulders, ?I?ll go get some herbs. You wait here. I?ll be right back?? She moved past him, but gave him a taste of her own flesh as she ran her fingertips across his lips.

Then, as she moved out of the tavern and into the street, she made her way towards a spot she had previously designated as a great spot to watch the fireworks. Then, as she turned, she slowly lifted up her glasses to her face, so that she could see with great interest ? a notebook and a pen emerging from an inside pocket at the ready, to record the results.

A terrible scream of frightened and confused staff and customers ripped through the street, as from inside a deep howl spewed so loud, that it shattered the windows, then, finally with one mighty explosion that lit up the area in a plume of smoke and purple flame, the occupiers inside were burnt to a cinder, instantly.

Renna tapped the pen against her lower lip, ?Perhaps I put too much of the substance into the bread? A lower dose the next time and perhaps...? She looked to the bodies scattered around the area, some moaning and crying out in pain, while others were nothing but mere smoking husks. ?Less collateral damage.?

Experiment 2:

The tare of intestines between her teeth ripped through the air, as the stink of rotting flesh permeated into her nostrils with one lustful sniff. The further she pushed her face into the gaping maw in the corpse?s stomach, the further she had pushed out the globules of swollen organs to one side.
With each chomp, and snarled bite, she tilted back her head ? or rather threw it back ? to wolf down the gore. ?So, good?? She struggled to see beyond the glasses caked in coagulated shards of blood and clinging meat, ?So? Good?? She trembled.

On all fours, the girl struggled to remain sane as the sickening changes rippled through out her body. At first, an array of spikes shot through her school clothing, down the length of her spine to the tip of the tailbone, while a strange black inky coloration swarmed across the white sclera of her eyes filled the shaded yellow irises with darkened amber, and an oval pupil.

Suddenly she heaved, a hand lifting to press firmly against her mouth, as she fought back the urge to spill out the contents of her own stomach on to the mutilated young boy, who once sat behind her in class. ?Ah? AH!? She pulled back, her eyes wide in realization as to what she had done, as her tongue lapped the remains around her lips hungrily.

Falling back onto her rear, she cried out, as yet another array of spines in a perfect line tore down her skin, across the length of her arm.

She wept from the pain, a hand moving to the area from which the spines sprouted, longing to hold the wounded area, as it merely healed away. ?The pain,? her voice slipped into a duality of an otherworldly darkness and a terrified young girl.

The glasses, balancing upon the tip of her nose, cracked, as a hidden pressure pressed against the lenses.

From the darkness, something watched. Stepping out into the light of a doorway, she removed the cigarette from her lips, and smirked past her own pair of glasses. With a raise of a shinning metallic hand, she smiled, ?Harna, how does it feel??

She screamed, ?What have you done to me, Teacher?!? She stood up, grasping her hair, hunched over in desperation that would awake from this nightmare some time very soon.

?In all living things, there resides darkness ? a personal demon if you want a better analogy... I merely brought yours out to the surface,? She moved to hold the girl?s chin, and to tilt it up so she could look into the terrified eyes that longed for blood and gore, ?This is the real you. You longed for him. Didn?t you? You wanted to taste his lips ? and you have! You sucked it right off of his skull, didn?t you? You chewed it off. Did it taste great? The blood running between your teeth and his fingers crunched between you?re lips??

?No?? She shook her head, ?No! You?re wrong, I didn?t?? She glared with widened eyes to the half eaten limb just out of the corner of her eye.

?Am I?? Her eyes narrowed, her smile widening, ?Harna, I know my students well. I saw you looking at him?? Leaning in close, she whispered huskily into the girl?s ear, ?Those eyes of unrequited love. A love you could never have? So you took him into yourself? Forever yours ? coursing through your veins - fueling the purpose that is now bestowed upon you.?

?It?s? It?s not true?? Tears streamed down her face, ?I don?t want to do the things you make me do - I just don?t, want to? I, I loved?? She whispered, then broke out into a howl, ?How could you?!?

?This is the real you and now it is time you let her out ? let her reveal itself to the world and make it see the power I have given you.? Slowly she drew out a hypodermic needle from her lab coat pocket, ?For you see, Harna, I will make you like me. I shall make all of you, like me. For I am perfect?? She thrust the needle into the girl?s neck, as her metal hand clenched the head of bloodied blonde hair.

Once she had pushed every inch of the red ooze into the girl?s body, she pulled back with the needle in hand, and watched as the girl finally fell into a vengeful scream, and turned on her with hands bared in congealing blood.

?-Kill you!? She uttered in anger, ?I?ll kill?? Her eyes drooped, ?Kill?? Her body shut down, and with one last breath of hatred she hit the floor unconscious.
