Erin goes home to Craig

As Erin stepped into the apartment she shared with Craig, the familiar scent of their home was now laced with an intoxicating aroma that made her heart race. Onosk's invisible touch was everywhere, altering her perceptions and preying on her darkest desires.

She found Craig in the living room, immersed in a book. Ordinarily, the sight would bring her comfort, but with Onosk's whispers echoing in her ears, she saw a man who had possibly betrayed her trust. The sight of Sara's hand on his arm from earlier that day replayed in her mind, stoking the flames of jealousy.

"Why didn't you call me during your lunch break?" Erin asked, her voice sharper than she intended. Craig looked up, taken aback. "I was busy talking to some friends. Sorry, I lost track of time."

Her heart rate quickened, Onosk whispered, "Was he really with just 'friends'? Or was he entranced by Sara's touch? Did he fuck her?" The seeds of doubt were planted.

Feeling the weight of her gaze, Craig put down his book and moved closer, trying to bridge the sudden distance between them. But Erin, under Onosk's influence, saw every move as a possible ploy. "Is he trying to appease me? To distract me from his guilt?"

When Craig tried to hold her, Erin felt a flash of power. She realized she could make him grovel, make him prove his loyalty. The allure of wielding such control was intoxicating. "Make him jealous," Onosk whispered, "Make him fear losing you."

She spoke of Alex, their close work on the group project, emphasizing his charm and how attentive he'd been. She watched with a mix of guilt and satisfaction as Craig's face clouded over with uncertainty.

Craig attempted to change the topic, suggesting they watch a movie or order in. Still feeling the rush of power, Erin decided to turn the evening's events in her favor.

She went into the bedroom dressed in her most revealing outfit and casually mentioned a party her classmates were attending. "Alex invited me. He said it'd be... fun." The implication hung heavily in the air as she smiled at him maliciously.

Onosk's malevolent glee was palpable as she watched the play of emotions on Craig's face - lust at Erin's appearance, fear of losing her to another, and the corruption of trust threatening to taint their love.

Will Erin stay with Craig, or make good on her threat and go to the party?
