Decision
...
It had already been a week since Seth and the parasite ate, since that fateful day he had not left his home.
During that week, Seth's body experienced unprecedented changes!
His muscles grew and strengthened, his brown hair changed to a dark color and his perception was beyond a normal human!
The rattling noise of the ceiling mice bothered him even more, the parasite tried to use these moments of weakness to control him, but he stayed focused and avoided its control...
It was torture for him!
His neighbors, Mrs. Smith and her daughter Sarah, came several times but he ignored them and locked himself in his room, he was afraid to attack the only people in his neighborhood who cared about him.
The parasite always tried to tempt Seth, if Seth got distracted for a moment, it could take over his body and devour people!
Of course, Seth's endurance had its limits and he knew he couldn't control it forever...
"It's too powerful." He thought.
...
Knock...Knock...
Seth heard the door ringing, but decided to ignore it again.
"We're the police, open the door or we'll break it down!" Shouted a woman as she knocked on the door.
"..."
Without any other choice, Seth got up with the little strength he had left and went to the door.
"Seth...I'm hungry and I still haven't tasted women from your race... "Said the parasite, trying to tempt Seth, but he ignored it, if he didn't think about it, he could control it better even though it was hard....
Seth might not be good at school or sports, but no one could beat him in willpower!
After losing his parents he never gave up and kept on due to his grandmother's smile, after losing her, he pushed forward due to her memory.
He did not want to stain his grandmother's memory, so he decided to fight this parasite and try not to harm anyone else.
"How boring you are..." Said the parasite before being silent again.
Chi!
The old house door opened, producing a squeaky sound. In front of the entrance a couple of agents stared at him.
"Good morning, are you Mr.Keith?" Asked the beautiful blonde agent.
"Yes..." Seth replied exhausted.
"As we know, you were kidnapped by a metahuman a week ago, right?" Asked the woman.
"...!"
"Yes... "He muttered while feeling nauseous just remembering what happened.
"Are you all right, sir?" Asked the man.
"Yes...I just don't like to remember what happened that day..."
"That's what we wanted to talk about with you, what happened after you were kidnapped?"
"..."
Seth's heart started beating quickly, he felt like he was losing control over his body!
"Not now!" Seth shouted in his mind.
"Kekekekek "The parasite laughed as it tried to take control over Seth's body, it was going to devour the agents!
"I don't feel well! Take my number and call me later!" Shouted Seth before throwing his phone number at them and closing the door.
"..."
"What the hell was that?" Kelly asked her partner James.
"It must be post-traumatic stress...being tortured by a metahuman is not a pleasant experience... " Said James as he drove to his car.
"Where are you going? I think this guy is hiding something, didn't you see how he acted?" said Kelly as she followed him to the car,not before bending over and picking up Seth's number, showing a large part of his broad chest.
"Kelly, you're a rookie and I know you want a big case to climb up the rankings, but that will be after you graduate from apprenticeship.
"Hump!" Kelly ignored his partner James and left.
...
Sigh...
Seth sighed in relief after seeing the agents leaving, he felt he couldn't control the parasite any longer...if it were, it would have been a slaughter.
He didn't want to admit it but since he merged with the alien, Seth had never felt tired (physically) and everything around him was clearer than ever.
"Not everything has to be a disadvantage." The alien once told Seth.
Of course, these capacities came at the cost of an unbearable eternal hunger!
...
That very night while Seth was sleeping, the parasite began to act again!
"...!"
A dark mass emerged from his chest and started to cover his body!
Seth tried to break the mass but it was like pulling out his own skin! In the end, the mass covered Seth despite his attempts to resist and the transformation process was completed.
"Rrrrrrrgggh!!!"
A beastly roar resounded in the silent street, frightening the few neighbors who were awake.
...
A dark figure jumped among the buildings in the moonlight, under his feet the houses' roofs trembled.
Seth could control his body but the hunger feeling was killing him!
He wanted to resist, but after a whole week of struggling against the parasite, he lost all hope.
"..."
During a jump, he gave up and fell down onto the street.
"I'm so sorry, mom, dad, grandma..." Seth thought as he closed his eyes and the parasite assumed the control over his body...
"Help!"Cried a young woman.
"...!"
A sudden voice returned lucidity to Seth's consciousness!
Bam!
"Tsk! I almost got him..." The parasite thought.
His muscular body crashed into the sidewalk, producing cracks on the ground, but his body showed no signs of wounds.
"I am no longer....human..." Murmured Seth as he looked at his monstrous body.
"Tac!....."
The sound of a bat falling and rolling across the ground alerted both Seth and the parasite.
Turning his face quickly, he saw a disgusting scene!
A group of men had surrounded a young woman and ripped off her clothes, what they wanted to do to her didn't need any further explanation...
Apparently, his arrival had interrupted their misdeeds and they looked at Seth in terror hoping that he wouldn't notice them.
"Help! Please! Whoever, help me!" Shouted the woman, taking advantage of the men's confusion.
"..."
His stomach roared from starvation, he began to lose consciousness, Seth endured so long for nothing....
"No matter what I do, this hunger will not cease!"
"If I'm going to kill someone, what could be better than these 'snacks' that have just been served!"
"Hey parasite, I propose a deal..." Said Seth as he approached the group of men.
"If I can't control it, at least I will restrict it." Seth thought.
"Oh, have you accepted me already? Take my power and become one with me, together...we will be...invincible!" Said the parasite while laughing.
