“Ah… Ah… No…”I shuddered as if I had been jolted, and my legs turned to jelly as my two tender spots were being tormented. In that split second, those tentacles slid inches up my legs and soon broke through my groin which was bandaged heavily. They crawled around, slowly slithering between the gaps of the bandages and undid them bit by bit, searching for an outlet to enter me.My legs were cramping from the pain and my veins were bulging over my neck. I could feel a merman’s sheer power crashing around wildly over my blood vessels and almost bursting. Sharp claws were extending out of fingers and razor fangs protruded out of my gums—despite being unaccustomed to that, I bit his tongue forcefully by instinct just as it was about to pry my lips open. His thick, black blood streamed into my mouth, and I swallowed in the confusion, before coughing violently.However, Dicken didn’t let me go—his tongue reached even deeper, forcing me to accept his invasive kiss. Like a thirsty beast, he
As I fell on top of Dicken, his black tendrils scattered, allowing me to clearly see what lay underneath: a black, jellyfish-like parasite attached to his nape that could have been fused into his flesh, though it appeared more likely to have grown out of it. Even as Dicken was choking me, I managed to press my knees down on his tail and seize the flailing tentacles. The tentacles started to secrete black, thick goo even as I bellowed furiously, “Get off! Give Dicken back to me, you disgusting poo!”“Give him back! Give him back! Give him back!” I repeated hatefully, my tears pouring from my eyes and into Dicken’s. Even so, his eyes were locked on me and held no sentiment, and those dark pupils seemed bent on consuming everything. I suddenly realized that every tear I had ever shed since I could remember had been shed for him, and never for anyone else or even myself. Even so, my tears were not affecting Dicken emotionally at all—did I just imagine that split second of hesitation j
I carried Mary to the cabin door and unlocked it. Light outside shone upon me right away as the door opened instantly, which forced me to close my eyes for an instant. However, before I could clearly see outside the door, someone grabbed me firmly and then shoved me aside. Even as my spine touched the bulkhead, I heard a hoarse, elderly cry: “Oh, my girl! My girl!”As my vision cleared, I froze in shock to find a man on his knees, clutching Mary’s body and shaking—it was Bob, who had tricked everyone by staging a fake funeral.He was as stiff as a statue, and I couldn’t see any expression on his face, but crystalline droplets could be seen trickling from his turbid eyes. If I were to identify those as tears, it would be the greatest joke I had ever heard. In fact, I couldn’t help laughing out loud from the contempt and rage in my heart then. I couldn’t help feeling sorry for Mary, who had been used by her own father as bait. “Hahaha! Mary’s actually your daughter, Mr. Bob?”Bob di
I had expected Gary to do something like that. However, what shocked me the most was that Bob—who was supposed to be Mary’s father—merely remained on the deck on his knees, even though his daughter was being given such an unceremonious funeral. He was hanging his head, as if it wouldn’t happen if he couldn’t see it.The icy raindrops that were pelting my body felt like icicles stabbing into my heart. Clenching my fist as an indescribable pain unfurled over my chest, I couldn’t help chasing after the armed guards as I yelled, “Wait! Please, wait!”They turned towards me in confusion but stopped, and I promptly took off my clothes to cover her. Then, I did my best to recall the lyrics of a particular dirge while I sang it, while gently drawing a cross over her forehead—I might not be a devout Christian, and I had no idea if Mary’s soul would be granted rest or reach heaven after her passing, but this was the only thing I could do for her.“Use a liferaft…” Bob said with a sigh just th
There was a reflection of me wobbling as Gary hugged me from behind over the sea’s surface, but my thoughts drifted through the sea to reach Dicken right away. Was he watching us? Would he get jealous? Would he show up? And in what form?“That’s enough, Gary,” I growled in irrepressible rage. “Let me go, or I will sabotage this ship and let those monsters onboard. I’m sure you won't want that sort of trouble.”“What are you talking about?” Gary seemed to think nothing of my words and even smiled without concern. Spinning me around and pinning me against the scaffolding, his drunken gaze twinkled playfully. “Are you saying that those monsters are targeting you, like they did with Mary? I’m not buying that, you little liar…” He got ever closer, breathing alcohol over my face. “I just wanted to tell you that you were so sexy that night you pointed a gun at me. Hell, it was so hot that I don’t just simply want to hold you—I would even take you right here right now, let alone hold you…
I saw a table and several decks of playing cards, and I was still sprawled over the table while the others were gone. Darkness was all around me, and it was very quiet. I immediately realized that I was once again trapped in a terrifying four dimensional space, and that there must be something behind my back. I dared not move and kept my stiff body over the table, keeping my breathing slower than normal. Amidst the darkness, I could see a webbed claw quietly placed on the table beside myself thanks to my night vision. As the pungent yet familiar sweet scent rushed up my nostrils, I became certain that it was Dicken.I could feel him leaning over my back, with his head brushing against my nape. His wet hair was spread over both our shoulders like seaweed, blocking my vision when my neck wound was covered by something soft and slippery—I realized instantly that it was Dicken’s tongue, that he was healing my injury. I was so happy I could jump to my feet, but I became worried again
”Don’t move… Linda.” A deep voice wafted into my ears, and I couldn’t help feeling excited. Turning around, I find myself looking into a pair of cobalt blue eyes—his eyes were enthralling as they always had been, but that bottomless blackness was now gone. Did that mean he had come to his senses? If so, why hadn’t his body recovered?“Dicken?” I reached out to grab his webbed claw in my thrill, and I wanted dearly to turn and look at him, only for him to pin me back against the table. His damp hair was brushing against my groin, and I could feel a wet, soft object sliding around my most sensitive spot—it was his most sensitive spot, lapping up my injured cervix.It had been so long since Dicken had cared for me like this, and I couldn’t help clenching my fingers over the table from the sudden simulation while my ears flushed crimson in embarrassment. I remained sprawled over the table, quivering as my injured groin felt the double thrill of pain and euphoria.I couldn’t help moaning
The weight of Dicken’s upper body pressing over me left me breathless, but I kept my hands wrapped around his neck to keep him close to me, as if the weight was the only thing that assured me that he was with me at that very moment. I couldn’t help remembering Mary’s lifeless body being placed on a liferaft that floated out into the open sea then, and the resounding cry of anguish that lingered in the air. I couldn’t help holding Dicken even more tightly then, but I could feel my strength leaving me, realizing then that Dicken was sedating me with his kiss. Panicking, I grabbed his hair and tried to pull him as hard as I could, but my hands eventually dropped limply on the table regardless.Lethargic, I fell limply over the table as my eyelids turned to lead. Just as I was about to close my eyes, his webbed claws slowly brushed over my face, tidying my hair before arching his back to dress me. As he carried me and put me on a lounge chair nearby to rest, I realized that I couldn’t d
