Chapter #9Unfuse by: Mr.Y  Chapter by Acorns551
A pang of fear tightens in your chest as the gravity of the situation hits you, _'If I stay like this, I might not ever separate, I don't think Nick would think this is fun anymore. I'm calling it quits.' _You would lift your hand with the ring, the engravings of the ring pulsating a dull yellow light, an unusual color for the ring to make normally. before the situation can get any worse you visualize yourself (with some difficulty) of yourself being Nick and August again. Your clothes began to stretch and smear as reality warped around you, a female body melting out of the front as if she was falling forward. Your hair would quickly spring back into your usual short cut, your body lengthening and becoming more masculine.
August would gasp as she completely separated from your body, falling on her hands and knees on the ground, heaving and wheezing as if she were punched in the gut. Thinking quickly, you activated the ring once more; casting a simple mind control effect over the athlete.
"You will forget what just happened, you will return to your normal activities as if it were a normal day." You spat out, hoping over the chain-link fence and getting your ass out of there before anyone could notice the event that transpired. Out of the corner of your vision you could see August's figure running the track again, _'At least the mind control power is functioning correctly, that's one weight off my shoulders.' _With that in mind, you began your trek back to your dorm room. Hopefully to figure out what the hell was going on the ring.
Hours Later
After a long and fruitless day of inspecting the ring you have yet to come up with a feasible reason why the ring had acted the way it did. You've had longer gaps between using the ring before and you had no difficulty using the ring when you first found it so it can't be that you're just rusty. No damage is visible on it; matter of fact the magical artifact looked practically the same when you first found it. A small, luminescent silver ring that had incomprehensible engravings on the circumference of the circle. It emitted a small humming sound constantly that apparently only you could hear, _'Must be a side effect of being the primary owner of it, more attuned to it's wavelength or something like that.' _You twirled it between your fingers in deep thought gazing at the sickly yellow light the engravings gave off. Tossing your hands up in defeat and leaning back in your office chair rotating around to Luna, who was sitting on the bed listening to music with her earbuds.
"Do you have any idea what could cause that? I thought the merging capabilities of the ring were only supposed to effect the body and the general timeline to fit said body; not actually cause an 'almost' complete mental fusion." You said to Luna, her taking out one of her ear buds to listen to you. "It wasn't like the last time I used it; I fused with that pregnant mom at the mall back in our hometown during High School, think her name was Kaitlyn or something like that. It merged our lives, bodies, and all that jazz but not our minds." You annunciated the last word to get your point across, "I could clearly draw a line between her and mine's thought processes, our likes and dislikes. But this time I-I couldn't, it wasn't like I ceased to exist, more like I was this new person; luckily sh-" you remembered the masturbation incident, your cheeks flushing a shade of pink, "He? I don't know but luckily this person had enough sense in them to separate us before I was completely lost forever."
"I wish you had enough sense in yourself to stop using that damn ring, all it seems to do to you is make you act out these fantasies you have." Luna spat at you, some anger in her voice. "Also why would you fuse with August of all people? She's kind of a bitch. On top of that, why are you even trying to merge your body with girls in the first place? I'm literally your girlfriend Nick, you could've asked if I was okay with any of this."
A wave of guilt knocked around in your chest, you pressured your temples with your thumb and forefinger while leaning forward toward her, "I'm sorry, It's just that sometimes this ring gets the better of me, makes me act on my impulses more than I would." You got up from your chair and crawled next to her and placing your head in the crook of her arm. "You know the only person I love is you Luna, I just like to test out the ring and-" She shrug you off and turn away from you, "You always say that Nick; it's never your fault, I don't think it's the ring Nick. I think it's you."
You got up from the bed and stormed out of the room and into the restroom and closed the door. _'If only she knew how I felt when I use this, the rush of possession, the security of invisibility, the power of mind control.' _Suddenly an idea hit you, you go back to the bedroom and begin to explain it Luna.
"How about we fuse? Then I can show you how it feels to use it, maybe we can come to a better understanding and maybe if I'm lucky enough I can figure out what the hell is going on it with it." you pleaded your case, Luna would sit up and shake her head. "You just said there's a chance that we could lose ourselves to this new person that's created when using the merging ability. I love you Nick but I want to be my own person and besides I think you just want to use the ring again." she retorted.
"I think I know of a way to bypass us not being able to separate. While I was with August a lot of my personal feelings to the matter were still present and August's as well. So maybe if we agree that we will unfuse after a certain amount of time no matter the circumstance we should be alright." You would look down and sigh, "I'm not going to lie to you now though. I do want to use it again, but this time I want to use it with you. No one else, just you." a mix of emotions ran through Luna's face as she contemplated the idea.
"Please Luna, this would mean the world to me."  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
