Febuwhump 2026 Day 3 - Ghost

Legs could still hear his voice. Like Owen was right next to him, whispering in his ear. Was this what it had come to? Insanity? 

Legs could still taste it, in the back of his throat, the sickly sweet flavour of his own insides as Owen had torn him apart. No matter how much animal blood tried to wash it away, it was still there, a bitter aftertaste. 

If you leave the vampires alive, they are going to kill everyone. 

Legs put his hands over his ears. He wasn’t going to let Owen carry anymore weight. He wasn’t going to let Owen do anymore damage. Legs had been far too naive before, to think he could inspire change in someone else when he himself was still so rotten on the inside. 

Everything you touch you kill. 

Legs pressed harder, his claws digging into his scalp, drawing thick dark blood. Owen was dead. Owen was dead. Owen was dead! The vestiges of his own guilt, of that monster now given fangs. 

Think of what you are capable of. 

A phantom beside him. Was it Legs’ imagination or did he feel a sudden chill? It was probably just the wind. Everything had an explanation… He was kidding himself if he didn’t believe in possibilities by now. The power of the mind. The power of a rage so deep it carried on beyond even death. Legs could feel his claws sinking into his own skull. 

It hurt. But so much less than thinking those words came from his own mind. Surely if he pressed hard enough he could silence them, silence him. Surely enough of his own blood would make it go away. 

You can’t trust them. 

You can’t trust yourself.

Grief is a silly little thing isn't it ?

Lingering touches of somebody long gone, hand-shaped bruises that don't exist anymore. Some things that are better forgotten.

@febuwhump day 3! Ghost!

She isn´t allowed to be happy. God said so

[lovelizards]

"Please - please stop! I'm - I'm not a bug! You'll kill me!"

Ariadne tried to desperately to pull free, but the pins in her hands burned with pain at even the slightest of movements.

Her right foot felt broken where another pin had been cruelly forced through it. Even if she could somehow free herself from those, the pins in her wings had pierced through the membranes; flying would be impossible.

The human was humming as it worked, its giant face as high as a mountain above her and the features obscured by colourful light that glared painfully in through the stained glass window.

Despite knowing how terribly trapped she was, something in her couldn't accept it. If she could just get through to the human! If it knew she wasn't some insect, but a living breathing faerie!

"Hey!" She called, her voice breaking with a sob, "Can't you hear me?!"

But if it could, it just continued to ignore her.

Ariadne tried to catch her trembling breath. She closed her eyes and laid her head back against the canvas for one exhausted moment. Tears rolled down her cheeks, and the human continued to hum.

"Idiot," she choked out, "you're such an idiot..."

She hadn't told anyone she would be exploring the human village today, not even Nessa who she trusted with her life. The last time she tried to go, they stopped her and she got the telling-off of a lifetime from Old Nan.

'But I'm always so careful!' she had insisted, 'We're too fast for them to catch, I've never been caught before! It'll be fine!'

Would they think she had just run away? Would they even bother looking for her? If she was a danger to the other faeries...would they just leave her? Leave her here, pinned to a canvas, to slowly die?

Ariadne opened her teary eyes, and choked on a gasp.

The human's huge hand had another deadly pin, and this one was hovering right over her abdomen. She shook her head wildly, eyes wide with panic.

"NO!" She screamed, pulling at her arms even though the pain was blinding, "No! Please - please stop! I'm not a bug! You'll kill me! You'll kill me!"

The hovering pin paused, its vicious point pressing against the petals of her skirt.

"Hush now, little thing," the human said - its voice rumbling, patronising and loud, like the voice of a god, "a pin won't kill you."

"You..." Ariadne sobbed, "you can hear me?"

"You're quite a loud one, aren't you? And strong! Most of the faeries I pin pass out quite quickly from shock. Doesn't it hurt?"

Ariadne sniffled, flinching as the giant face of the human lowered closer, and its huge shining black eyes stared down at her. It bared its teeth in a terrible grin.

"It - it does -" she said, "it does hurt! So - so please! Stop! Take them out! I'm begging you!"

"We'll have plenty of time to talk later," the human said, its grotesque pink mouth forming the words, its breath a hot wind on her face.

"No!" Ariadne cried, "No - no, please! Don't - !"

The pin sank into her stomach with a sickening crunch.

Her entire body tensed with pain too great to scream, too great to make any sound but a choking, desperate attempt at breath.

"You can't imagine how challenging it is to avoid major organs and bone structures in such a tiny subject," the human said, though its words were warbling and muffled in her ears.

"Ahh....a -ahhh...."

"Hmm, that's quieted you down, hasn't it? Oh, don't be so dramatic, at least I didn't sever your spine like the last one!"

It laughed, a horrible rumble that vibrated through her body.

And that was the last sound Ariadne heard before a dizzying darkness overcame her, and she passed out cold.

『 Next 』
