A taste of your soul

You were watching the night sky of subcon forest, standing in front of Snatcher's home, waiting for him to come back. 

It seemed like the sun never shined in this haunted place, and soon enough your mind began to wander into the stars, losing track of time. 

Since how long was Snatcher gone now..?. It seemed like hours to you, maybe more, maybe less, but one thing was sure: You missed him a lot. 

He was usually found by your side, he was quite possessive over you, but you enjoyed his company nonetheless. You were also feeling safer with him around, the forest hiding quite a lot of dangers. 

But this time, you preferred to wait by yourself here.

Snatcher had certain needs he needed to fulfill that you were-admittedly- a bit scared of seeing it in person. You had both made an agreement that you would wait for him at his home while he was gone. 

“Miss (y/n)!" 

Snatcher’s Little minions were calling for you.

"We made dinner! Come eat with us!" 

The minions were really sweet; they always enjoyed sharing food and caring for you. 

You joined the little group in the village, all sitting around a cozy fire. One of the minions approached you with a plate of cooked meat. 

"Thank you”, you said. 

“Boss isn’t back from soul hunting yet, hm ? He should be here soon, don’t worry” the little minion noticed your downcasted expression and made an attempt to cheer you up. 

Soul hunting, that was the thing you didn’t want to see, but you understood that even a large, shadowy poltergeist like Snatcher had to eat too, and yet, you found it too cruel to watch… 

Maybe it’s time to change the subject. “The food.. This is chicken, right? " 

"It’s an owl corpse!” The minions answered cheerfully. 

“Oh….it’s ..uh-… it’s very good! ” you suddenly exclaimed-rather awkwardly. It actually didn’t taste bad, but the creepy wording was a bit off-putting to say the least.

We all need to eat I guess…“, you think to yourself.  “Maybe I shouldn’t be so hard on him …”

Not too long after you heard the minions bursting with excitement.

“Guys! Guys! The boss is back!" 

You stood up, smiling, your wait was finally over. 

You hurried back to Snatcher’s home as fast as you could, but when you arrived you quickly noticed he wasn’t in a good mood, his usual smile was replaced by an ill-tempered frown… 

"Snatcher, are you okay…?” You ask, approaching him cautiously.

“It’s been days now.. And still, nothing..” he sighed, his arms dangling in disappointment. 

“I’m sorry… ” you replied, reaching out to give him a soft, comforting hug.

“I’m soooo tired…"He leaned into the hug, lowering himself so he could get his head to your level, burying his face into your neck. You could feel his breath on your skin and his fur tickling your skin.

"Sooo… hungry…" 

Was he.. inhaling your scent? This was a bit strange. Why would he sniff you like that?

"Is  there anything I can do to make you feel better?” Maybe this is a good time to change his mind.

He lifted himself back up and eerily fixed his eyes with yours for what seems like a bit too long..
