Suddenlyshe gets quiet and like a switch being flipped her entire personality changes again.

“Damn, you perv, how didIeven get in here?Whatwere you doing, hopingIwould jump all over you just because you’re naked?Ican’t deny you are quite handsome, in an odd way, butIdon’t just throw myself at guys.Ithought we talked about this?”

“WedidCassandra, so please forgive me for being in your space.Iam going to get dressed and prepare us some sustenance.Ihad extra garments made for you while you were sleeping.Ifyou need any assistance, just yell.”

“IbelieveI’mmore than capable of dressing myself.What’syour name again?”

“Rafe.”

“WhydoIfeel likeIshould know that?Andwho is thisCassandrayou keep calling me?”

“Thatis your name.”

“IthinkI’dknow my own name!”

“Thenwhat is it?”

Iknew better than to ask, butIcouldn’t stop the words from spewing from my mouth.Thevery tic she has to think about anything, it’s like her mind crumbles.Instantly, huge tears well up in her eyes.

“What’sgoing on?WhereamI?”

Insteadof answering her again likeIhave over and over for the last few rotations,Igrab my pants and walk out of the room.Normallyit takes at least half a rising for me to see this many personalities come out of her, but this time she seems to be experiencing them all rapidly.Everytime she opens her eyes,Ipray she is getting better but so far, it’s a rerun of the rotation before.

Mymating instincts are riding me to finish our bond, butIwould rather go mad than do that to her in this state.Thefirst few risings, my shaft was constantly hard, and she pushed every buttonIhad as she tried to wear my resistance down with all her charms.NevercouldIhave dreamed,Iwould have to shove my own mate away, but that seems to be allIam doing.Pushing, when allIreally want to do pull her into my embrace.

Sheis everything and more than my simple mind could have imagined.Longfeminine muscular legs, wide hips, bountiful breasts.Aseductive smile that melts my heart every time sheturns it on me.Aheart-shaped face that frames flashing blue eyes that now haunt my dreams every timeIclose my eyes.Myfingers ache to run their way through her long, silken locks of hair, but it’s that mouth of hers that keeps me in line every timeIfeel my resistance fading.

Themoment her eyes seem clear, andIbelieve the drugs have left her system, she opens her mouth and another strange creature evolves.Iknow enhancements can and do make you act in countless different ways, but there is no way possible this little human could have so many sides to her personality.

Deepin my own thoughts,Ihead over to my private nourishment prep area.Thisis the one place in my suite of rooms thatIdesigned personally, as cooking reminds me of home.Openingthe cooler,Igrab a few ingredients, working instinctively as my thoughts return to the crying femaleIleft sitting in the refreshing chamber.Ican still hear her sobs clearly, and that makes me pause in the middle of cutting up some of the tubersIso enjoy.

Refusingto give in,Ifocus on the task at hand as this is not a mealIhave prepared for her as of yet.JustasIam placing the meal in its appropriate glassware, she comes strolling in wearing one of my shirts.

“Cassandra,Iprovided you with your own clothing.”

“They’reitchy andIlike yours better.”

Insteadof arguing with her,Imotion for her to sit down and place the plate in front of her. “Here, try this.Itwas a favorite of mine as a youngling.”

“Youtalk so weird sometimes.”Shepushes the tubers around her plate, but nothingIput in front of her seems to catch herinterest as she tells me constantly that she is not hungry.Ican see how frail she is becoming as the lack of nutrients, and the drugs are putting a strain on her already weak system.

“Tryto consume what you canCassandra, you need the sustenance.”

“WhatIwouldn’t do for a fudge round and aPepsi.Thisstuff tastes like dirt.”

Iknow she is simply striking out, soIdon’t say anything back, but after a little bitIrealize she isn’t wrong; this does somewhat taste like dirt.Pushingmy plate away,Iwalk back to the cooler, pulling another package out.Inotice immediately that there are small black specks on the interior of the carton.

“Destroyer, can you tell me if these have gone bad?”

JustasIturn to tellCassandrato stop eating it, a small female hologram appears in the air in front of us.Beingused toSAGEpopping in and out,Ido not think much about it.Iam not prepared forCassandra’sviolent reaction.

“Whatin the fuck is that?”Herplate flies by my head, food scattering everywhere as she swats at theDestroyer.

“MasterRafeforgive me for popping in unannounced.”TheDestroyer’sform flickers in and out each timeCassandratries to knock her out of the air.BeforeIcan even make it around the counter, she has picked up a pillow and tosses it into the air aggressively.

“Thereis a talking ghost floating right in front of you, …don’t you see it,Rafe??Help, someone … she is here to take my soul!”

Igrab her around the waist. “Stopit,Cassandra!Whatin the universe has sparked this reaction out of you?Thatis simply theDestroyerin a holographic form.”
