The hivemind is conquering for me? - Chapter 77

Chapter 77: Mother Sophia
Before I had a chance to gauge the figure in the doorway, A white silhouette was already in the air flying towards me. There was no malice in the figures movements so my reaction time was sluggish and I was too late when they reached my body.

With my body being forced to the back of the couch, a set of lips forcefully collided with my own as a tongue invaded my mouth with unbridled determination. Unconsciously placing my hands on the side of the intruder I felt for a moment the curvature of the woman before a loud *bang* was heard and the woman was sent to the other side of the room with a lot of force.

In an uncomfortable position, Orchid held her body over my own in a defensive position and the form of her punch still on display. Maul who was dazed by what he had just witnessed a moment before sprang into action upon witnessing violence and drew a large shotgun from what appeared to be his chest.

As he was about to fire at the assailant, his employer spoke out. “Stand down Hired gun.” Her voice enthralling and melodious. “I took a chance with my action and I was fully expecting that result. Now here.” The woman threw maul a card which he caught while still eyeing Orchid and myself. “Are you sure you are going to be ok Lady Sophia?” Maul asked his employer just to be sure. “Oh yes don’t you worry, just a little squabble between sisters isn’t that right Orchid?” She said rubbing her temple to ease the pain.

Seeing everything was going to be fine, maul tucked away his gun back into his giant frame and decided It was best to leave now as things were getting to crazy for him. Not only had the iciest woman in existence made an advance on a man, She also got clocked in the dome and laughed it off as ‘sisters having fun’ instead of immediately killing the woman.

“Good luck dude, I’m taking a vacation on Euc’ 3” He muttered in my direction before making his way out of the door. Once he left I was able to get a clear view of my would be attacker.

Before me stood a beautiful and opulent woman in her late 20s. She was 5ft10 and had long blonde radiant hair. Her eyes were star blue and gleamed with an unbridled excitement in the current moment and her thin eyebrows were slightly raised . Her lips were natural red and from the afterglow of our kiss, supple and inviting. Her jawline was sharp and her nose was thin and narrow complimenting her beauty well.

The woman exudes an air of sophistication and her very presence commands power while her current attire accentuated her beauty. She wore golden earing and a necklace encrusted with jewels that matched her eyes. She also wore a white dress that clung to her curves and accentuated her cleavage very generously.

“Well, as far as first meetings go, that one was not so bad.” I said trying to shake Orchid of my body. “Forgive my forwardness my sweet, Its just with my minimal use of the hive link, I do not get to witness you in all your splendour as much as the rest of the hive. Therefore my mating instincts flared up at the sight of you. That being said let us introduce ourselves to each other as your species do hmm? A pleasure to meet you Apollo, my name is Sophia.” With the creature commonly known as Orchid no longer in defence position, I stood up and went to go shake Sophia’s hand. “The pleasure is all my mine my love, I am Apollo.”

This may be our first meeting but she is still a part of the hive, my mate, and as such she is just as loved.

Sophia shuddered with pleasure at being called ‘my love’ She wanted to pin her mate down right then and their but the eyes of gene sister told her otherwise. She may have tried to provoke more and attempt to woo her mate in the way only she would know how, but despite being the same gene-caste, Orchid was created with much higher quality biomass and by result is significantly stronger than her.

Sophia was about to speak up once again before a shuffle in the corner of her eyes caught her attention. “Ronnie? Why are you still here?” Sophia’s enthralling voice gained an edge upon talking to Ronnie and he felt that edge upon his throat. Not making eye contact he replied. “Forgive this one Mother, He did not know when to excuse himself and was momentarily worried for your wellbeing when you were struck by mistress Orchid.”

Sophia let out a small smile at her pet before responding. “Ok Ronnie I understand, Now why don’t you go and join the rest of your family downstairs I’m sure you have been missing them. Your Father and I need to… Discuss some things.” She said while eying her mate up and down like a delectable snack.

Ronnie glad he was not in trouble, kept his eyes down and began to leave the towards the door before he heard his mother behind him. “Oh one more thing Ronnie.” Turning back around he replied “Yes mother?” “You have been gone on your own for over a month, you can have two treats.”

Ronnies eyes bulged out of their sockets. “TWO!!!” In that moment he lost all decorum and booked it with all his might to where the rest of his family were now waiting for him.

Pulling away from Sophia and sitting back onto the couch I ask. “What are these treats you speak of? I haven’t seen Ronnie that excited the whole trip.” Sophia put on a seductive smile before Sitting by my side, whilst trying to ignore the jealous glare of Orchid she responded.” Just pure concentrated biomass.” She turned slightly to Orchid. “You know, the good stuff.” before returning to me. “About a hands worth and its covered in my unique Poison to feed their Parasite bonds.”

Recalling the time when I first bonded With Zircon and remembering what Jewel taught me about different types of bondage and how the bio cult infiltrators use the parasitic bonds to enrapture their flock. A smile grew on my face as I felt Zircon rattle in my backpack next to me before I asked an intrusive thought to Sophia. “Hey could I try your poison? I’ve never had it. Orchid may have based her body on infiltrator genes but she made her body for mating and fighting and does not have the gene code for it.”

Sophia’s eyes cast an all too familiar look shared by all the hive forms with humanoid bodies before composing herself. “Why of course my sweet, here.” Knowing not to push her luck with another kiss with Orchid in the room, Sophia placed her finger in her mouth suggestively while staring Apollo in the eye before retreating her finger to show him.

Caught in her long finger nail was a light yellow clear liquid. “Only a drop?” I asked “All that is needed for the first time.” She replied. placing the droplet into a nearby glass, Sophia proceed to fill it with water before handing it to me with an eerie smile. “I hope you enjoy my secretion.” That was a ‘run away from this girl right now moment’, but living with that type of thing for all my life had made the effect obsolete.

Taking a sip as expected from a subtle poison there was no taste, but inside my Mindspace I could feel something. Closing my eyes to investigate I reopened them inside of my Mindspace. “Over here darling!.” I could here Onyx yell.

Making my way to her tool me to my defensive barrier. “The parasite is on the outside my love, But it does not want to harm you so allow it entrance.” Onyx instructed. I knew this would be the case otherwise I would not have ingested the poison so I granted it entry.

Instead of trying to find my Origin and bury itself within immediately like what I had been told in the past, The parasite, about the size of a caterpillar ,and looking not too dissimilar, flew its body towards my projection.

It flew around my form a few times before I tried to touch it. Immediately upon skin contact I felt a rush of euphoria wash over me. “by all that is psionic!” I exclaimed in surprise after I got over the wave. “Well aren’t you an addictive little poisonous parasite huh sweetie.” After experiencing the rush I could understand how people fell into the cult.

The first time you ingest the poison, The parasite attempts to break through your mental barrier. If successful it will reach your Origin, Or if you don’t have one will create one with itself being the catalyst which creates a huge feeling of euphoria inside your body. After that the rush fades it sets a timer off and before long you crave another rush so you try to ingest the poison once more. The longer you wait the worse it gets and if you could not find where you ingested the poison, the parasite will secretly guide you to the place of origin.

Eventually if you keep on feeding the parasite its poison and you consume enough you become a full cultist forever bound to the hive infiltrator that infected you, ever grateful for the gift of joining its family.

As I thought about the cute caterpillar in front of me, I knew that was not going to happen with me. “Now what shall we do with you little one?
