More Than A Body Novels & Stories

It leaves an eerie feeling. Suddenly, the creaking sound of a door fills my hearing and I hear footsteps, followed by a thick authoritative tone. He begins, "did you know the human body is merely a tool? Snatch the heart, its owner dies. Detach a joint, mobilisation seizes. A flawed machine. Even the littlest of things—a finger when cut, its owner screams in pain. Your brain loses focus. It rather dwells on the pain, leaving you more vulnerable."

The question wants to be incidental, but cannot. “Selin,” I answer, and through my voice trembles something that is neither pain nor joy: that strange, foreign, still-to-be-learned feeling when something is at once more than a single body can hold. “Alive.” I put a period at the end so nothing exceptional can slip behind it.

"I know, but... I really missed you both. Can you please call Henry." "He doesn't want to meet you. He demands that you go back. Stay with Claire and avenge our death. Better still, do not come asking about us. We are already long forgotten. We would only reunite at the appointed time but as for you, you are not supposed to be here that is the logic here." "Now move to that entrance." Abi was commanded. "You need a new body though. It would no longer be like a mundane humans body. The body I will give is extremely powerful. You will only have to get a hang of it."

All I've ever done is cause people harm. My eyes begin to water and I bury my fingers deeper into the soil, the damp earth staining my fingers. I claw at the sand and stone like it's a tether to my emotions, chipping my nails in the process. No amount of tears is ever going to fix the grief. I look at my trembling hands and the stones I dug up while clawing at the soil and the next thing I know, my body was shifting, bones snapping and reshaping, fur bursting along my skin like wildfire. I didn’t think. I didn’t need to. My wolf took over like she’d been waiting for this moment, and she ran.

Everything was in place to lay the groundwork. However, one thing remained. The physical body. The body is like a water tank, even if you have vast talents, if your body cannot keep up with them, they are useless. The water tank will only spill the water that has been poured into it. Conrad was currently undergoing body tempering. The Gaia potion was a complete package, providing everything. He was in his own world. Conrad was in an unusual situation. Before him, was a pond filled with lava rather than water.

I heal. Between ceremonies, my body repairs itself. The marks fade, the bruises yellow, the cuts close. But something always remains a thin scar here, a more sensitive area there, a pain that reappears when I move a certain way. My body becomes a book where my story is written, night after night. And I love him.

"That's more than enough, dear." Knowing that I had plan with Val this Friday night, my parents let me go easily once Esther came to pick me up. I told them that it was just a sleepover, embarrassed to say that I was going to do a body ritual in reality. Surely, I wouldn't want to have that talk with them even if we were all women in the house. It was somehow improper when it was really not a normal making love. It was more complex and much more meaningful than that. Tonight, I was going to be one with Val— with our mind, body and soul.... as in magically or whatever you call it.

“What have you done to me?” “Oh, don’t be so disappointed. I don’t look too bad and as I told you, I only needed to borrow your body for a short while, I’ll return it back to you when the time is due.” He said, “You must know that while your body would give me access to some places, there are a lot more places it wouldn’t.” This was sorcery. Black magic. Never in all my years have I heard of people switching bodies like it was nothing more but a costume, and yet I just witnessed that.

I said disengaging my body away from hers. “Why? “She asked gazing at me. “Can you even run a mile, talk more of miles? “I asked. “And if i fall, you will raise me up. When i’m tired you would carry me on your shoulder.Won’t you? “She said smiling. ‘What d'hell are you spewing out of your mouth Monica? ” “Wow! But that’s really cool. Sounds more like a pick up line”Vincent said then hit me playfully.
