To eat

The new Alexis looked down at her body. It was not her first choice, but it was the only option she had. The only other people who she'd have met were her... soon to be victims. She wanted them to suffer even more so. Nevertheless, she would make do with what she had now.

Alexis looked down at herself and willed the symbiote to reform once more. The 'clothes', if one could call it as such, began to ripple and reform, expending a little more and stretching to form her original outfit, albeit black.

"That's better," Alexis said now that her modesty had been properly returned.

She then turned her attention to her former body. According to the witch, she needed to strengthen and replenish the symbiote's strength before she could make her previous body usable. The main method of doing that was by ingesting more organic material... organic material from humans. The symbiote was still new and could only learn from what it acquired.

Alexis clenched her hand. It felt good and she would enjoy it even more when the other body could do it as well. She could wait for the symbiote to learn.

Now, it was time to resume work. Alexis was supposed to help Loyd eat. Fixing him properly on the chair once more, she went and fetched the food. There was a bowl and a plate. The bowl had the food grounded into mush while the plate had it regularly made. Normally, Alexis would feed Loyd first and then eat her own in silence, but given the circumstances she carried both back.

It felt strange feeding herself. She felt... pity and sadness and anger. Loyd's body was still in a vegetative state, no different from how it was before, except now it was without a mind and just acted on its most basic survival instincts, with what little of the symbiote remained to maintain it.

"I will fix you," Alexis whispered as she caressed her former body's cheek.

Eventually, the time for feeding had finished. Loyd's body ate with no trouble, and now it was time for Alexis to do the same. She took a mouthful of food and placed it in her mouth.

"Oh wow... The food tastes a lot better when it's not a sludge"

She thought so as she chewed for the first time in months, licking her lips. How long had they gone without ever eating solid food? The taste even better than they remembered, and Alexis hurriedly began to devour the remaining food. She didn't care what it was. All she knew was that it was tasty and she wanted more. Once she had finished, she let out a moan in delight. That was a good meal.

"God, I missed this..."

She sighed as she tried to control herself. She leaned back into her chair, taking some to digest. If eating food alone felt this good, then what about any other activities she might indulge in now that she had a body?

She liked her fingers, sucking any remaining food off them as she contemplated her next move.
