The pills drop into her stomach, as you feel her stretching.
“Take one of those, it’ll stop you from digesting too soon.” You lay confused, but don’t question her and swallow the pill.
“What will happen now?” You ask, keeping the remaining pill firmly in your hand. “I’m heading home, I felt like ditching school anyways, and I wanna show dad what I caught.” She replies.
Your world starts shaking, bouncing up and down as she walks, going to who knows where her house is. So far her stomach hasn’t done anything, and you silently pray nothing will, lest she was lying about the pills…
“So jack, how did you end up running away?” She asked, her nonchalant tone calming you down… if only barely. “I was escaping my sister… I ran after distracting her.” You respond, not having anything better to do anyways. “I see, was she the small girl that tried entering the playground?” She continued. You nod, only to remember she can’t see you. “Oh uh, yeah she was. I was trying to leave but uh.. you know how that went.”
She giggles, you hope that that gained you even a minute more. “I see, and do you like her?” Ooh, tough one. On the one hand, she does try to eat you every single chance she gets. On the other hand, she can be sweet in her own twisted way, if only to get your guard down. “…she’s my sister, I still love her despite her attempts.” You eventually say, almost surprising yourself with that truth. “Hm…I see, you have any other siblings?”
This back and forth goes on for a long time, you two chat and laugh, cracking jokes at times and getting to know each other. Eventually, you calm down, almost getting used to the situation. Almost.
“Well, I’m sorry to have to cut it short, but we’re at my house…” she says, as the jiggling of her stomach around you slows down. “Oh, ok. Should I do something?” You ask. “Just try and act like you normally would, scared or something.” You hear some ruffling and a jangle of keys, before a lock opens and you begin moving again.
“Dad! Mom! I’m home!” She cries out, checking to see if anyone is there. “What are you doing here, coming back so early?” A feminine voice responds, your heart sinks as it means more troubles. “Oh, it’s you sis. What are you doing here?”
“School ended early today, there was a drill of some sort.” The voice replies, she sounds barely older than Nadia, perhaps 12 years old. “I see your stomach’s big, you finally caught your first one?” The voice continues.
“Yup, he’s settled quite nicely in there. His name’s Jack, I ate him while he was running away from chaperon duty.” She slaps her gut playfully, and despite your situation, you flush in embarrassment. Of course no one can see it. “I see, that happens sometimes. What do you plan on doing with him?”
“Huh…I guess I could…”
