Yes give in and feed

As John gazes at her, his new sight will kick in, and he will see her again, but this time instead of the vision splitting to those close to her, it will look deeper, and John will see why the sight brought him to her of all the people in the city. He could see her consciousness. It seemed so obvious now what the sight truly was, why he could see it, why he could seem to sense every living entity. Anything that could influence the world in any way he could feel it. Like a rod of iron being pushed through the back of the skull, images of those in question would push through his thoughts. These images were not just what was and what would be, but of what could have been. As he stares at the woman, he sees her still walking on the streets unimpeded by him, he sees her working to help save her sick sister, he sees her hunched over a table weeping, he sees her beneath the earth in a wooden box, he sees her running through the woods from animals, he sees her giving tribute to an unknown deity, he sees her being unmade, then remade, then never existing. These hundreds of realities flow through John, his mind being swept away in the flood as his consciousness subconsciously creates a new appendage. A tendril will emerge from the floor with a serrated bone protrusion at the tip, similar to a viper's fang. The tendril rears backward, the tip aimed for the back of the woman's head. With John still too preoccupied in this new sight, and the women having been sedated, there is little resistance when the tendril shoots forward and burrows in.

A feeling of electricity shoots through John's mind as what remained of his human consciousness is filled with another person's thoughts, ideas, and memories. The feeling is alien, and unlike anything he had ever felt, the only word that grasps at the concept of what he was now feeling was, elation. His mind both moved and stilled within a human heartbeat moving through thoughts like a bird through the air. He then began to hear a chittering skittering voice muffled and faint enter his mind. He flowed towards it, bringing it to the forefront of his mind so that he may listen to it more clearly. Still muffled but now louder, he could make out the feelings of fear, sorrow, apprehension. He knew this was the woman's voice as her mind exited her body and entered into his consciousness. He moved his will to it and could feel the process begin.

As he felt it begin, he could feel his feeling and thoughts start to blur, parts of him began to become fuzzy and difficult to recall, but in that same instance, new experiences entered his mind, new thoughts new feelings. Their experiences were becoming one, yet two consciousnesses still existed, their goals aligned, but their views remained split. John began to feel his very identity change as his thoughts began to be split with this new consciousness as they were combined into one. Time began to tick by.

Outside officers were searching for a college student named Alex whose phone had been found next to ripped up clothing. They believed that someone had kidnapped the girl and done so without harming her due to the lack of blood. Two officers were sent down a nearby maintenance hole cover on the off chance that the assailant did not have access to a vehicle and escaped through. The pair did not intend to stay long on how dark it was and the overpowering smell but decided to put effort into the search with how serious this case appeared. They could feel the officers approaching. The creature began to awaken from its stupor. It gauged how long this process had taken and found that only seven hours had gone by since the initial connection was made. It looked back to the body that use to house a part of it. It still hung there like a slaughtered pig, but breath still moved through it. The hollowed puppet even housed some life in it and would more than likely need to be dealt with somehow.

It knew that they would not search out this far as of yet, but with a lure. Perhaps it could use the body to lure more into the collective, isolate, and then capture. But the beast would need to move if it did so, as they would search all of the sewers.

It could also change the body into a more fitting design. One not able to be recognized as the missing girl and puppet the body from a distance. It could begin to gain trust and bring more to it without garnering much attention.

It could also add the body to its own mass and move around on its own. While far less subtle, it would allow for added protection should it be found, using more mass to stop threats.
