"Do you ever feel lonely?" I'm cold. "Do you feel like something was missing?" I can't feel the bottom of the river. "Do you just want someone?" I want to scream, but the air has long since left my lungs. My blood is going flat. Two pinpricks of life above the water shine down from above. "Okay" I'm torn from the water. Thrown onto the bank. I greedily gulp down all the air I can. My body punishes me by vomiting the water from my lungs. I curl up in the mud. "Anon?" A warm hand cups my cheek. The soft flesh is a welcome change from the uncaring river. It rubs against my face as I calm my breathing. The friction sends jolts of fire through my body. Warming my soul. I wish I never opened my eyes. I find the two pinpricks of life that had shone down from above the river. Bright moons. Bright moons that are surrounded by stars. A being composed of the void that is the night sky. I stare into the void. The void smiles back. Instinctively my tired body throws itself into a panic, desperate to get as far away from it as possible. Anywhere but here. "Shhh… shhh…" The hand grips me with an unnerving strength, threatening to crack my jaw like a peanut shell under a hammer. My hands rise to beat against the arm but are grabbed by others. In the darkness the only thing I can see is the void. A tide rises from the void, following the double moons, the current carrying the stars with it. The arm of a drowning girl shoots out of the void. It embraces my other cheek. Holding on with the same strength as the first. I try to pull away but the tide pulls me in. The arms clearly don't want to hurt me, but they do intend to discipline me if I disobey The tide wets my forehead. An unwelcome warmth carries through my body. I wirth as if that would drain this acid from my blood. "No… please…" I can only meekly plead. "Shhh… shhh…" the tide does not relent. It wraps around me, becoming my coffin. I shrink inwards away from the rising tide, but there is no more land to run to. I'm pulled under. Boiled alive by the void. Stars watching me from every angle. Windows where judgement is thrown from. The twin moons watch from above. Prepared to drown me. "Please…" The tide ignores me. "No, Anon, no words." It consumes my neck, moving up to my mouth. It consumes that. My body is injected with another shot of unholy warmth. The needles but a wet silk against my mouth. Something enters my mouth. Something slithers in. Poking at my cheeks to test the barriers. It glides along my teeth, unsure if it should step onto the meaty patio in the center. Satisfied with the fencing. The slithering darkness slides onto my tongue, it moves it around, inspecting every angle, every texture, every cell. Injecting the same corrosive warmth. I lose the last bits of feeling in my face. The acid has leached into my head. Crawling up to my brain. I can't feel anything. I can only see the twin moons. "Please… stop…" "Shhh, Anon. Don't you want to be warm?" My brain sends a desperate SOS for my body to wirthe as hard as it can to throw off the blanket of void. No one's there. My brain sends a ping to check who's still there. No one. My brain feels its own tissue melting away. The caustic venom has broken through the blood brain barrier. My consciousness is stripped of the last layer of shell it has in this mortal world. It shivers in fear at the unrelenting closeness of what truly lies outside of it. There is no taste, no smell, no vision, no sound, no touch. Only the starry void around me. Studying the consciousness whose shell it has boiled away with its hug. It cannot flail as it has no limbs to do so with. It cannot fall as it cannot feel the lack of ground beneath it. It cannot burn as there is no crackle of hellfire around it. It cannot scream as there isn't anyone to scream. I'm gone. The void advances on the ground of zerospace between it and my consciousness. The void jumps onto it, melting into the gaps between its fibers of self awareness. The moisture makes them go weak. It strips them away like the wind does cotton. Leaving… leaving… leaving… The tide recedes. Reality explodes into being around me. I fall on some surface that I can't phase through. A solid mass beats inside of me. A liquid jettisions through tubes inside of me. A gas exudes from two vacuums inside of me. A heart, blood, lungs. I look upwards to two smiling moons and a sky of happy stars looking downwards. "Are you okay now?" "What was that?" "A hug and kisses." A hug and kisses brought total destruction of my existence? "What was that before?" "You were drowning in the river. I saved you." The void crawls toward me. "NOO NOO NOO! DON'T COME NEAR ME. I'LL SHOOT YOU OR… I'LL… I'LL…" A noise creeps from a gap in the void, like gas out of a balloon. The gas reminding me of the nightmare of the hug and kisses. The twin moons laugh as if taking pleasure in my horror of the lack of a world I had glimpsed. "That's so cute!" The void laughs louder as I cover my ears, wirthing in the mud. "Adorable even, but really Anon… really?" The void grows two legs to propel itself into the darkness. Maybe it misses the night sky above it? Oh thank god it's going ho-- "Let's go home now." "No… I'd rather not… I can stay here." The void raises an eyebrow. A primal fear cascades through my body. The same fear your ancestors had felt long ago when the earth shook. A fear of an unknown destruction making itself known. "Oh…. okay… I'll go with." The gravel path crunches under the void. It crunches under my feet. I'm glad to have limbs. I'm glad to have sensation. "Here." A meager wood cabin stands in a clearing. The void opens the door, bending at the… waist… to show me through. The arms leaning over the door frame. Two deer horns stick out of her skull. It's only in the calm fire of the cabin do I truly see the void's physical form. It's a girl. A willowy figure. Porcelain made from moon dust for skin. It wears no clothes because the darkness of the void covers her in a sweater. The total darkness I had seen before was only her jacket. The same void cuts through reality in her long hair. "Do you want something to eat?" "Yes, please." The void smiles, it has a mouth. It has ears. It has hands. "Good." The void can speak. I sit, curled up on the tiny couch in the one room cabin. The sizzling of a pan dances with the cracking of the fireplace. A hot sandwich is placed on my lap. The void crawling up next to me. Her arm reaching over my shoulders. I wince as I brace for the destruction of my flesh again. It doesn't come. Only the soft felt of a sweater presses against me. "Eat." The void raises the sandwich to my hands. Watching as I eat. Making sure I don't miss even the smallest crumb. "I'm sure you have many questions." The void shivers in its version of a sigh. "You were drowning in a river. I saved you. I am a---" The dissociation begins again at the echos from her mouth, I feel my body melting away. My consciousness clings to my brain to say goodbye once again. "But you can call me an Eldritch." "What's your name?" The Eldritch pauses, "Void." "Void?" "Evidently my other name was too much for your mind so let's go with Void." Her deer horn digs into my scalp. Scratching it like a loving hand. "How did I end up in the river?" "You died, but you didn't entirely die." Void pauses as she thinks of a way to explain. "You were cast a normal river, began to die, and drifted into the river Styx." "The Greeks were right?" "No, it's just a good analogy for the river you were drowning in." "What about the…" "Hug and kisses?" "Yeah…" "I had to warm you up, didn't I?" "I mean…" I blush at the thought of it. "For a human, embracing an Eldritch like that must have been a lot for your mind to comprehend. So it's scary the first time." "There's going to be a second time?" Void smiles as she slides her other arm around me, in a regular hug. "It depends." "W-Why did you save me?" "You can't drown in the river Styx. You'd be constantly thrown through the afterlife. Fully aware of time and space. Worse than purgatory, unless." Void cracks a dopey smile. "Did you do anything bad?" Void rubs up against me to coax a confession out. "Something? Sinful?" Her lips glide just above my skin. I can almost feel their silky embrace. "No? I… don't know…" Void frowns, "I guess it'd make sense you'd lose your memory, there's not telling how long you drowned for." I shiver from that thought, "will I remember again?" "Probably not." "Am I immortal now?" She scoffs loudly, "of course not." "Are you?" "Wouldn't you like to know?" Void's eyes seductively prowl over my face. Her tongue licking her lips. Tingles of fear dance across my skin. The same feeling you get when you stare over the edge of a building. The void calling you closer to consume you at long last. "I felt you being swept down river." "How?" Void shiver sighs as she sits back, pulling me close like a toy. "Humans can't feel it, most Eldritch can't feel it, but I felt a lonely heart." Void smiles as she kisses the tip of my ear suddenly, but it's a normal loving kiss, albeit a little bit wet. "Eldritch can smell pain and fear from far off and most will settle just for honing their senses with those, but others can sense loneliness." "What does it smell like?" "A stale blanket wrapped around one person on a sleepless night." Void kisses my cheek lovingly. "So it is my duty, that if I could smell it from my cabin, to give them some love. I think that person endured enough in their mortal life. Especially to carry it onwards with them past death." Void's kisses become more aggressive, her arms sweeping over my clothes trying to peek under. Her voice becomes hungrier. "Don't you think so?" She groans as the heat she was suppressing bubbles to the surface. "Anon, there's time for deep in depth conversations about life, who I am, who my daddy is and what does he do, but now is not the time." Her teeth gnash at my ear lobe hungrily, gnawing as her tongue flicks the skin. Her arms locking me to keep her prize tight in her grasp. There is no escape. "Anon… what do you say?" "Uhhh…" "Mhmmm, stage fright? It's okay, any human would be nervous with…" She whisks her mouth close to my ear, singing a serene hot whisper, "an Eldritch." The cabin begins to fall away as my brain drops the sensory input from it. Void mercilessly shoving more and more into its hands from her every touch. She smells like a summer night. A night full of possibility, one where frogs croak and fireflies glide. Where anything is possible. I don't want to stay inside. The moisture a drug that beckons for you to come, come play, come explore, come and feel an elation that in the hours of this darkness anything is possible. "We don't just make love, Anon. We MAKE love." Void moans as she puts my hand between her thighs. "Humans might think love is some simple physical sensation, but to Eldritch?" Void straddles my lap, "to Eldritch, it is far more. When we love, it is a concept that permeates even the higher realm we reside in. So it's not a stupid idea. You'll do more than swoon, you'll… you'll…" Void grins as she kisses my forehead. "You'll just have to try it out? Hmm?" "O-O-Ohhh okay…" "Good boy." Void pushes me down to the bed of the couch. "I do have to warn you, it can be a little... intense." "Like before?" "Moreso," Void doesn't notice my sudden total fear. "It's even better." "On second thought I'd rather not…" Void's crushing grip grabs my wrists, pinning them to the couch. "Anon… don't be such a coward." "But before it was really scary…" "Only a hug and kisses." "I felt my body melt away." "I had to warm you somehow." "I dropped out of existence, I had no notion of existence." "The first time is always scariest, but Anon?" Void whispers quietly, "trust me. I want to do this so badly." "Why?" I'm terrified it's a ruse to eat me or something, like the witch in Hansel and Gretal fattened the children before she ate them. "Why does anyone want love? Why do people search for the one? Why do humans say, 'oh that's love,' when a person is blinded by it?" Void's heat rises higher and higher. "Simply, because they do. It is a concept that is so inherent to existence it permeates higher dimensions." "You can see in higher dimensions?" "Maybe," Void smirks, "however, when you love someone part of it is the… physical aspect." I nod slowly, as Void continues, "when you love someone, sometimes they just do something that makes you want t---" Void groans as her hips shake on top of me like a strong wind. "LIKE THAT!" "What did I do?" "That look! The little glitter in your eyes. It's… attractive to say the least." "The fear?" "YES!" Void kisses my lips as she whips her hair back, "I love it! SO MUCH." Her twin moon eyes are bright with arousal. "Eldritch hardly care for physical shells, but when I think of you Anon?" A string of drool drips from her mouth. "I'M SO GLAD I HAVE ONE!" I try to squirm and weasel out from beneath her grasp. That causes Void to cool, realizing what is happening. "Oh." Her eyes darken. "If… you can go… sorry…" She peels herself off of me, sitting on the other end of the couch. "I just… when you… the smell of… you were lonely… so…" Void buries her face in her sweater, embarrassed. "You're just a little…" "Eldritch?" "Yeah… I mean… a lot has happened in the last hour." Void shrinks inwards, becoming the size of a doll. "I, I've never been with an Eldritch girl before." "Okay." There's a silence. The fire is silent. "Just promise to be gentle okay?" The void grows from excitement. "Okay." I feel her soft flesh against me. So warm, giving calm through mere touch. Femininity given form. Her graceful curves shaped by a force beyond nature with the only purpose to be as appealing as possible. And I get to touch it, she welcomes my every curious caressing of her body. What is it like to feel a void? It's a sensation beyond the word "good." It elevates your heart as the impossible happens, it electrifies every nerve, and makes your soul stand up in a fit of celebration. Void pushes me onto the bed, kissing my cheeks frantically. Her aggression is rewarded by me letting her have her way with me. She prowels every inch of my body. Claiming it as her's. The sweater melts into her flesh of nothingness. The porcelain skin cracks from the heat inside of her. Falling into the darkness. Leaving nothing but a girl shaped window into the expanse of nothing. Not the beyond, not the behind, not even the middle, just, nothing. Now that it's been given a name, I can't say it's nearly as scary as before. I don't think you can ever get used to a void of nothingness on the level of a different perception of reality consuming you. It pulls you in, but it does so gently. Letting you fall into it like a feather drifting onto the ground. Hugs and kisses. Once inside the void, you disassociate from the world. It's not that you fall out of it or that the world falls around you. It simply does not exist. What is a ybrutqn? Exactly. Void caresses me with waves of pleasure. Watering my mind with the joy she feels from my company. The void shivers as it moves. She groans. The void washing over me happily, taking its time picking away at my mortal coil. Then your body falls away, your brain falls away, your mind left. Void grips around me inside her. The pleasure she feels is shared, an endless feedback loop. I don't feel good, I simply am. It is all there is. Just Void and pleasure. Her against me, every part of her pressing against a part of me. Her strong body delivers floods of ecstasy that carry me higher and higher. The void kisses me, poking at the fibers of my existence. The primal heat Void experiences is so great her mere notion of existence burns the fibers. A smoke of rapturous pleasure wisps upwards from it. The bed shakes beneath us. Void greedily milking every reaction she can out of me. Playing with my consciousness like a sponge. Letting it roam over every inch of her body. Knowing I love every bit of it. Feeling her breasts, her abs, her shoulders. All beyond my perception of reality. When the heat is too great, the void starts to falter around me. So caught up in its fit of erotic indulgence its mind has left its body too. A cool air let in through the gaps. Void is struggling to keep herself together. She desperately tries to keep the tapestry together, focused on drawing out the moment as long as possible. Finally, she lets go. Void screams in pleasure as she comes crashing down around me. I'm… somewhere, all I know is for an eternity my consciousness has been replaced with nothing but an ever rising crescendo of pleasure. I crash back just as I am filling Void with my seed. She is delirious with happiness as she pumps it out of me. The orgasm is desert. Void falls on top of me, smiling. "So how was that?" "..." "Awww, don't be so nervous, you did great. Was it scary?" "It was… I don't have any words." "Good." We fall asleep to the sound of the river outside. More Stories: https://pastebin.com/GdxruCYR
