ever since your awakening in the spire of deceit, and the sudden disappearance of Shadow Milk, you’ve been feeling quite on edge. despite you just telling yourself it was paranoia, but ofcourse, that all changed when you saw him floating beside you, realising he was stuck to you like a haunting spirit nobody else could see.

——

here you are, sat at a table with few of your friends, the 4 other ancients. Hollyberry, White Lily, Golden Cheese, and Dark Cacao.

the 5 of you were discussing about the beasts escape of the once sealed silver tree, all 5 clearly worried about their kingdoms and Earthbread itself.

”we need to prepare to protect any cookies in harm, neither can we let the beast cookies get to our souljams.”

Hollyberry spoke with confidence in her voice with her usual smile plastered on her face, showing pride.

you listened to back and forth “friendly banter” in almost complete silence, obviously speaking up or suggesting stuff when given the chance.

as you tried to focus on the others, you heard a small chuckle from behind you, then a hand on your sky blue souljam.

you are quick to cover your mouth as the seemingly invisible hand starts touching and prodding at your souljam, trying and successfully coughing back a silent moan from the sudden pleasure. you feel your face start to heat up a little as Shadow Milk’s hand continues it’s teasing gestures, his other hand grasping gently around your neck, keeping you in place, despite Shadow Milk not physically being there.
