Yandere Symbiote
Ch.3: Strange Behaviors
After Ripper's confession of love, she began to act strange. At first she was just really
happy and chipper, like that one drunk girl at a party that nobody wanted to talk to. At
this point, Ripper was acting like a drooling lovesick schoolgirl. It got really
disturbing, especially during class. I was sitting in my Digital Photography class doing
my best to pay attention whilst trying to keep Ripper's behavior in control, but it wasn't
easy, what with Ripper's constant cooing inside of my head and the unnatural "rippling" of
my clothes. Finally, 8:30 came around and the day was over. I stepped out into the cool
darkness, walked back to the secluded shed and morphed into my costume.
"You and I need to have a talk, little lady."
"Aww, did I make you angry? I'm so sowwy", said Ripper in the cutesiest voice she
could make.
"Cut that out. We need to talk about your behavior during my classes."
"What's wrong? Don't you like my hugs?"
"This isn't about your hugs. What if someone sees you? I don't think anyone's ready to
know that my clothes are alive."
"I can't help it, being with you just makes me so happy. I want to savor every precious
moment." the suit felt warm and tingly again.
I sighed. "We can talk about this later. Let's just get home, I could use a joyride right
now."
"That's the spirit, sweetie."
I leapt to the building and scaled the wall to the roof. Getting a running start, I long-
jumped off of the edge and over towards the streets. I shot a web-line at a street light
and swung off into the brightly lit city. As a special trait, each symbiote had one
special attribute that it grants to its host. Ripper had granted me super enhanced senses,
as well as night-vision and the ability to see things in slow motion. My enhanced hearing
picked up something from a couple of blocks away, a woman's screams. I always wanted a
chance to be a hero, so I swung off to the sound's location which was an alleyway not too
far from where I was. Clinging onto one of the building walls that made up the alley, I
saw what all of the commotion was about. A purse-snatcher was on the move, sprinting off
with his prize.
"My purse! No, stop!" cried the scared older woman.
I landed on the ground as light as a feather, with the bandit directly in the center of my
line of vision.
"I've always wanted to say this...GET OVER HERE!!!" I yelled in a distorted voice, as I
fired a thick web-line that represented Scorpion's spear from Mortal Kombat. The tether
connected with the crook's back and yanked him out of the air towards me, who I then
uppercutted in the jaw, launching him a good 8 feet into the air.
(TOASTY!)
The thief hit the ground unconscious and was "glued" to it with webbing. I picked up the
lady's purse and cautiously walked to her and gave it back, hoping my appearance wouldn't
scare her too much.
"M-m-my purse..." stammered the woman, still unsure of what to think at this point. "T-thank you, Mr..."
"Call us...Ripper." And with that I leapt into the shadows, vanishing from sight.
"Ripper..." was all she could say.
I had finally done it; I had achieved my first act of heroism. I was still astonished,
especially using the newfound strength Ripper had granted me. I swung back to my suburban
neighborhood and disappeared into the darkness of my garage where I morphed back into my
civilian clothing and casually walked up to my front door.
"Vincent", said my mother has I walked in "where've you been? You're 20 minutes later than usual."
"Sorry about that, mom...the bus was running late." I fibbed.
"Well call me next time that happen. There're some leftovers in the fridge for you to heat up."
After I'd finished my dinner, I went to my room, closing the door behind me and locking
it. This was exactly what Ripper wanted, to be alone with her precious host. A gentle
warmth washed over me as I sat on my bed in complete darkness.
"The usual please." I said to Ripper as tendrils sprouted out of my back once again,
attaching to the ceiling. The tendrils lifted me into the air and my body was slowly
enveloped in more tendrils, forming a large cocoon up to my neck. The amazing softness of
the cocoon and the soothing warmth that was produced rocked me to sleep in no time,
overtaken by the absolute bliss that surrounded me. I opened my eyes and discovered that I
was sitting in a large black void.
"Whoa, so this is lucid dreaming?" I asked myself, gazing into the emptiness. "Usually my
dreams aren't this dull."
"It doesn't have to be." echoed an all too familiar voice. It was Ripper, and she
appeared to be...walking towards me. She took the form of an 18 year old woman, her body's
shape similar to that of Katie's. She was dark blue from head to toe and wore the suit's
symbols as well. She had large milky eyes, a fang filled smile and several long tendrils
for hair. She sat next to me and rested her head on my shoulder.
"Do you like it? I decided to take a form that was the most pleasing to you."
"Yes, you look...lovely. Where are we exactly?" I was still shocked by what was happening.
"We're inside your mind." Ripper answered. "I wanted our relationship to deepen,
and then I came up with the most brilliant idea to enter your dreams. That way we'd be
able to spend even more quality time together."
"Is that so?" I didn't count on this. I used sleep as an escape, to forget about Ripper's
little antics. But now, she wanted to interact with me in my dreams. It was like there was
no way out. "You've been acting very strange for the last few days, what's up with that?"
Ripper turned her head towards me instantly, which made me jump a little. "Isn't it
obvious? It's love." With every word, she got closer and closer to my face.
"Sweet."
"Pure."
"Unconditional."
"Love." She breathed into my ear before licking my cheek. "Yummy."
That sent chills up my spine. It was a pretty stupid question.
"But still, this isn't enough. No, I want more."
More? She was already clinging to my skin, filling my head with her constant "I love
yous". After what happened with Katie, women were too terrified to even come near me, and
now she was taking control of my dreams. She was insatiable, what more could she possibly
want?
"What I truly desire...is a permanent union, an everlasting kinship."
"Permanent union? You mean..."
"Yes!" she cried, staring directly at me with her hands firmly gripping my
shoulders. "Join with me completely. Make our bond permanent. Give me what I desire.
Give me...everything."
"Uhh...uhh..." was all I could say, I was completely speechless.
"I need your love. Please love me."
"But...uhh...this is all so sudden. Can I at least have a day or two to think about it?"
Her grip on my shoulders eased up a bit. "Okay, but only because you mean everything to me."
I sighed in relief, at least I had time to think over what do next.
"The poor dear, my love must have overwhelmed him." Ripper thought to herself as she
nuzzled her head into my chest. "But that's okay, he just needs some convincing. Once our
bond is complete we'll be together forever. Our love will flood this world, consume it
completely. And once it does, we will rule over it as king and queen. As husband and
wife."
