22. Travel?

Putting my matter aside… I think I know how to find him! We’ve got that mental link from him totally willfully joining the cult! I bet I can use it to feel him out! Alright! Here goes nothing! I can definitely feel it… It feels like a small strand of thought that’s been anchored int my brain. Maybe if I touch it (Touch feels like a weird word since it’s just in my head.)… OW! OW! OW! OW!

What the hell was that!?!?! Touching it felt like when you touch a lightswitch that isn’t properly insulated. But about 5x worse. I’ll admit, not that bad, but still. Sheesh, that was weird. Alright! Next option! If I can’t touch it, maybe I can follow it? Alright, so it goes… in? Wait no, out. No, it… I can definitely tell where it goes. But, I’m ninety percent certain the direction doesn’t exist. It’s like when a 2d object moves in a third dimension, from its perspective, everything it can see changes for every miniscule movement it makes. IT MAKES NO SENSE! Though… I do think I can go that direction… I mean, worth a shot.

So, I tried to move… in but out..? And everything BROKE. I MEAN IT BROKE! I was sent spiraling through space that really just did not exist. I felt like I could see every part of me at once. From my wings, to my blood sac down to my very molecules themselves. Then I could see… my soul? The very essence of my being. It was red. Blood red, and in constant turmoil, I could see it decaying at an actually visible pace, and it was worrying.

Then, I could see his. My cult member. His soul was the same color as my own, but it was quickly being tainted a vibrant green. Then next came his molecules, then his organs, until finally I saw him, and landed right in front of his face only to be immediately slammed into as he just kept on going with whatever he was doing before.

Skill Space? obtained.

“...Hello my cult member! How are you?”

At that, he stopped dead in his tracks and turned around. He stared at me incredulously for a solid ten seconds, and then he just stopped looking at me and moved on.

“HEY! You can’t just ignore me!” I shouted at him through our beautiful space breaking mental link. Which he also ignored… “I WILL SUCK YOUR BLOOD IF YOU DON’T LISTEN TO ME…! Alright, here I come!”

I flew closer to him, intent on sucking a little bit of blood from him, it’s not like he needed it all anyways, and he dodged! He freaking dodged! As I neared him, he suddenly jerked forward, keeping me away.

“Hey! Don’t do that! Stop right there and let me suck your blood!”

At those words, I could see him start to slow down, not stop mind you, but whatever. Close enough. I went to suck his blood again, of course. And he jerked forward as I neared! He dodged again! I swear, people! He just doesn’t listen!

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

“I SAID! Stop and let me suck your blood!”

This time he stopped. Heh, can’t ignore me forever. So! I flew right up on his face, and I speared him! And, honestly, he tasted sooo much better than everyone that stupid pool. Not that he tasted good… I would never say that human blood tastes good. Of course. Because it doesn’t. It’s just that he tasted better.

Hahaha! HAHAHAHAHA! FINALLY! YOU CAN NO LONGER SKIMP MY STAT POINTS OFF OF ME! I CAN FINALLY BECOME OP! MWAHAHAHAHA! So of course, with my new found agility, I did the most important thing ever. I finally had enough speed for it. I DID A FLIP! A FLIP! MWAHAHAHAHA! NOBODY CAN STOP ME NOW! I CAN BECOME THE BEST PART OF ANY SHOW! THE ONE THAT DOES THE TRICKS! Those elephants that do tricks have nothing on me! What’s a giant elephant when you compare it to a graceful mosquito? Nothing! That’s what!

And now, back to the important stuff. Not that it’s really that much more important than doing a flip but whatever. Ever since I finally got him to stop, Mr. Cult Member has just been standing there.

“So! I think you forgot about me when you got up this morning, not that I blame you, but you really shouldn’t be like that. You can’t just run off! Got it…? Hellooooo? Did you forget how to speak to me? C’mon?”

At that statement, I see what looks like grim determination in my cult member’s eyes. And the- OW OW OW! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?!?! IT felt like something got ripped from my mind. It was like when someone pulls off a scab, except the scab was actually a piece of flesh!
