THEA

‘You deserve to be happy, Thea.’ The voice sounded wistful. ‘These people don’t deserve anything. They have never fought for anything like you have and yet they are, cozy and comfortable and content.’

In her dreamlike state, Thea agreed. The people in her dream were selfish and undeserving, and she drained them like the voice said. It was a much more pleasant dream than the terrifying ones she normally had—all the people were alive and walking about—at least until she placed her fingers on their pressure points and pulled that delicious power out of them. All she had to do was enjoy the feeling and wait to wake up.

‘Drain them.’ The voice sounded vicious and demanding. It filled her head, echoing through her mind. ‘They don't even respect you; they don’t appreciate all you’ve been through to rid them of demons. They don’t deserve any happiness.’

Power seeped into her, the intoxicating effect, making her head spin and her whole body vibrate. Her dreams had been so life-like lately that Thea simply let the feelings rush over her.

‘More,’ the voice urged. ‘Take every human you can find. Enrich yourself, Thea. You will become a better person for it, a stronger person. And when you are strong, you won’t need anyone.’

The dream began to blur as she moved so quickly among the streets and neighborhood, placing her fingers on the pressure points of unsuspecting humans and draining them. At some point, she shifted into her angel-form because she was suddenly soaring through the air towards a busy part of the neighborhood and attacking most of the humans there. She came across a group of young people and the horror on their faces at what she was doing sparked a flash of doubt within her. Then the feeling passed as her emotions muted.

‘Yes. Yes! Take, Thea. Take from them like they have taken from you. It’s your right. Enjoy the benefits of your hard work.’

She glimpsed a couple of demons, but strangely they ignored her. They even seemed to herd humans towards her so she could pull more and more energy. As the dream became more disturbing, Thea struggled as she desperately tried to cast the voice aside. She clawed wildly to control any part of her she had left, but the voice seemed to penetrate every part of her now, and the powerful energy inside her was like a drug, twisting her mind and eating at her personality. She couldn't think straight, and her body moved of its own accord. She became more aware of the voice; its feelings, its thoughts… It was as though it was another person on the edge of her mind.

Find more, Elithea, the voice murmured hungrily, interrupting her weak thoughts. Take them all.

The voice ordered her to do its bidding, and yet she had no choice; it had control over her body. Its desires were her desires, its thoughts were her thoughts. And it seemed like nothing could satiate it. It grew louder and more persistent until Thea couldn’t even think.
