Casey's words had Dennis let out the low rumbling sound from his chest as he pushed her hard against the wall, kissing her with a need that the teen couldn't help but fear. He was being too strong. Too fast. All she could see when she closed her eyes were the huge hands of her uncle, grabbing at her, holding her, touching her. His whole presence beating down on her. Too fast. Too much. She didn't mean for him to take control of her. But Dennis had become a force, not a man. And while his touches meant no harm, their effect was very different.
"No, S-stop-" Casey mumbled under his lips as he crushed her into the drywall, opening her eyes to see his blazing back at her with an intensity she had seen before. He was the ocean again. But in a storm. The tide of need and want was overwhelming. It had gone from matching hers to over taking it. "P-please stop." She begged him as his hands threatened to reach under her clothes, pulling and tugging at her top. 

Her own hands went to his chest, pushing against Dennis making it as obvious that she didn't want anymore. With a hard shove the man moved his head back, hand curling around the back of Casey's neck, eyes fixed on her scared face. This was the other side of Dennis. The side he had to fight with. It was as if another personality sat side by side with him. This one was dirty and cruel and dangerous. She saw the change in his posture, the way he was so subtly unhinged. She needed her Dennis back. "Stop now." She demanded though her voice was weak and shaking. "E-enough." Dennis' mouth moved to form a threatening grin as he slowly shook his head, moving towards her again, gripping her neck and arm to pull her away from the wall, standing her with the bed at the back of her knees. Casey felt her bottom lip tremble as the images of her past found their way into her waking nightmare and it was suddenly real again. He wasn't going to stop.

Casey did the only thing she could think of and rose her free hand to bring it across his face as hard as she could, almost falling backwards from the force she had exerted on him. But the teen knew he could take so much more. All she needed from him was a moment of realisation. But that wasn't what came. Dennis stumbled back with a growl of anger, teeth bared.
"This... Is a sacred night." And then the body before her began to quiver and tense in its place, it was like he was going to explode from how quickly he vibrated. She hadn't brought out Dennis but rather something else.

Casey backed up onto the bed at the sight of the shaking man, holding his palms out before him, a sheen of sweat over his body. Not now. No. Not when everything was changing. Groans of pain left Dennis' mouth as he cracked the bones in his neck and shoulders, alert eyes darting around the room, fixing every so often on the teen who felt wet tears rolling down her cheeks at the terrifying sight. The pained scowl then changed into the angry expression normally held on Patricia and she gave Casey a strained smile.
"It is time dear one- ah- He is coming-" Patricia doubled over and stumbled towards the bed, making Casey whimper. The womans whole body suddenly fell to the floor, hands covering her scalp as she curled in on herself, composure fading into something- or someone- else. Someone Casey wasn't ready to see.

The head that rose had the teen choke out a sob.
"It's hurting, It hurts!" Hedwig cried, reaching for her; fingers grabbing at the air. Casey knew something awful was coming but the small child that crumpled up before her was in pain and was clearly just as scared as she was. Forcing her concrete legs to move, She crawled to the other end of the bed where Hedwig was curled in a ball on the floor, crying loudly and letting out shrieks as bones cracked within. Her hand slipped into the one reaching for her and she held it tightly, other one stroking over his head. "It's hurting me!" His cries seemed as endless and tortured Casey's turmoil in her decision to fight or hide from what her Hedwig was becoming. Why did he have to take over? The scared little boy? Why wasn't Dennis protecting them? Casey yelped when Hedwig reached and grabbed at her, pulling and clawing at her top.

She wanted to scream at Hedwig to fight it, to stay in charge of that body but nothing came out. She just pulled and pulled to get away from his grasp finally letting her top rip at her waist as she backed away, scrambling from the bed into the corner of the room. Hedwig was in a heap on the floor, crying to himself and whimpering at the pain. After not moving for almost a minute, the boys sobs faded into a silence unlike the one that usually surrounded Casey and her captor. This silence was deadly. It was threatening and only broken by the cracking of bones and creaking of joints. Casey watched as the open shirt grew tighter and tighter on the man's back until the seams popped open, the shirt falling to the floor as the teen lost Dennis and Hedwig and all the others into the growing creature before her. The beast had come. It was a sacred night.
