You had spent the whole night needing through the book, you weren't sure why you had to but it seemed important to him. While you read though you couldn't help but ask Ben a few questions.

" Ay Ben?" Your voice broke the silence, he hummed in response, playing with that Rubik's cube he had taken a liking to weeks prior.

" How come you didn't show yourself to my cousin?"

  " I didn't have enough strength yet, to be honest I was sorta feeding off of him"

" Feeding off of him?" You raised a brow.

" Yea like, ya know. Ghost stuff, I was kinda absorbing his energy, life. I did talk to him though, through the game, first with text and then I started talking outwards to him, freaked him out a lot. It.. wasn't really til the end I showed myself but I wasn't physical. Just showing my face was enough to make him buckle though"

He paused for a minute. " He was gonna kill me, but I convinced him to instead send me to you. Told him if he didn't I'd spread, and hurt you as well"

His honesty struck you. You weren't sure how to take it, so you nodded slowly and your eyes fluttered back down to the book in your lap. The whole thing was just talking about this mask cult, all referencing to Ben as some type of god, like a great ruler of sorts. It felt wrong, and it didn't sit right with you at all. There's a group of people out there that worship him? How odd.

  " Hey, if there's a group of people that worship you like you're a god, where are they now?"

He paused at your answer, looking up at you briefly and shrugged.

" To be honest, can't say. But I can say for sure there's others out there like me"

" Others like you?" You closed the book and looked at him intently. Shaking at the idea of there being other strange being.

He hummed and nodded. " Yea, there's others. When I was still with Alex- a boy on his campus got kidnapped and murdered. When they found his body his eyes were gouged out and there was tar poured into their place. They said he had a smile on his face when they found him, and his body shortly disappeared at the morgue. Along with the morgue owners kidneys. "

You stuck your tongue out, trying to shake your disgust at the idea of a dead boy coming back and eating kidneys. " And you know this guy personally?" You asked, looking at him with quizitive eyes.

He burst out laughing at your comment. Like he was watching a stand up " no, but I got an idea of who he could be. Check your phone I sent some links"

" Uh how-"

" I'm telepathic"

" So you can read my thoughts? You asked as you checked your emails. Seeing all the links he forwarded. The email sender read " unknown".

You began to flick through, looking through articles of people having their kidneys stolen, before you found the last one, a story from a guy talking about his interaction with the monster. How it killed his brother. The image that accompanied it make you shiver. " He wears the same mask as the cult"

" Uh-huh. Anndd I have one myself on my own body. Luckily they didn't drill it into my flesh personally, though it can't be moved by anyone but me" he added to your comment, making his way over to you like always. But this time instead of sitting at the edge of the bed or close to you, he plopped down right next to you. Seemingly a lot comfortable with you then before.

He did a little bit of tapping. And brought you to a site about moon children, which you found to be the name of the cult. " So the reason I bring the cult up is because I think they have Alex. There's been jack shit on his credit and spending history, and all signals are dark. So if you're thinking what I'm thinking-"
