Mystery hummed a happy tune as he worked. Though his work wasn’t exactly...moral. The muffled yells and screams coming from the kid in front of him was enough to say that maybe he shouldn’t have done what he did. But he couldn’t care less. This was gonna be fun, at least to Mystery it would be.
“ If you don’t stop screaming, kid, I’m gonna make you choke on your tongue. So...”
Mystery tightened his grip on the girl’s arm, twisted it to a painful angle as he whispered into the blindfolded victim's ear. He dragged Shai to the abandoned house he had chosen just a few hours before capturing the girl. His tail swished in excitement as he shoved Shai in the rotting home. As the young girl’s skid across the floor, Mystery walked over and planted a foot on her head.

(( just a thing I wrote in my free time, a verse that @re-shai made and its very fun to write! just a fun writing thing, might do more writing today since i’ve got a ton of time. hope yall like it! ))
Mystery laid curled up tight in his bed, stark naked except for his loose boxers. He had shoved the blankets over himself and tried desperately to stuff them in his ears. Not that it ever made the quieter or lessen their deafening screams but...it made him feel safer. One voice, that one brats voice started to ring in the back of his head and he went from scared out of his wits, to nearly seeing red. “You little fuking brat! Get out of my head!” Mystery screamed at the top of his lungs into the empty cold air of his room. His voice echoed slightly and the voices stopped. Laughing nervously, the feline poked his head out from under the blankets. Alone, quiet, and...safe. Taking a sigh of relief, he relaxed back into his sheets before the voice pierced his ears again. “Can you at least put some pants on, ya creep?” Mystery growled and tossed his covers off again. “ I said buzz off, you little shit. This is my own house, I can do, wear, and eat whatever I want.” He lowered his voice, “So. Shut. It.” The shrill voice of the girl stopped. Her vaporous form started to materialize in front of Mystery and he groaned, no no no he just wanted to sleep!
The ghostly form of Shai, the hellish spawn of his best friend popped into existence before the feline, her hands on her hips and looking rather annoyed. “Like what are you gonna do? Stab me again?” She stuck her tongue out at Mystery and glared at him. Mystery lazily glared back, “I’m sure you’ll go away just like every other ‘ghost’ I’ve ever seen. They give up eventually…” The feline took his pillow and put it over his head, stuffing his face into the bed. As soon as Mystery started to ignore Shai, he felt a spine chilling sensation creep up his tail bone and slowly inch its way to his lower back. His fur raised up, bristled, and he nearly screamed in anger again. But it was too late and as soon as Mystery flew up out of the bed to argue with the ghost of Shai, the sensation had gotten to his neck. He roared and scratched hard at his own chest and head, like that was going to do anything to stop Shai. Soon, he lost feeling in his legs and arms, then his chest. He couldn’t feel his own heartbeat. His vision blacked out and he felt the last traces of himself being pushed to the side.
The headspace of his own mind was much like an empty grand hall, if it hadn’t been taken care of in years and had been turned into a crack den at one point. He shoved his way through the ‘rumble’ of his headspace and saw Shai standing there, looking quite exhausted and deep in concentration. Mystery knew how taxing it was to possess someone. And Shai was about to know how painful it was to kicked out of a body. He charged her and as soon as she was tackled to the floor, he felt the sensation of ‘living’ come back t him. This bitch wasn’t about to possess him again, not without a fight. The two wrestled on the floor, Shai biting and punching at the older cat keeping his claws and teeth away from her face. “Give me back my body, you little cu-” The dog beneath him gave him a firm kick to the stomach and pushed him off. “I’ll trying to help you! Can’t you see that? When I’m in control, I’m actually taking care of you! Unlike how you treat yourself!” Mystery growled at her words. “You fed me kale and organic meat last week! Do you know how many hours i laid on the floor in the bathroom, vomiting up that crap!?” He cringed at the memory, his own sensitive stomach unable to handle food that was actually good for him. Too many years on junk food and overcooked meat. Shai ignored Mystery's call out and just continued to keep control of the feline's body. “I can help! Just let me help you!” She frowned for a moment, her voice breaking a bit. The cat had no sympathy in his body or voice as he charged her again. “Get your filthy paws. Out. Of. My. Head!” With one firm shove from Mystery, He was thrown back into my own body and his vision was suddenly back. Of course the form of Shai lingered across the room as well. “What the hell, old man!? I’m trying to do some good, you bastard!” Mystery layed there for a moment, dry heaving and catching his breath. His body felt gross and violated, it scared him. It made him think about all the times he had possessed Alfred and others...is this how they felt? He shook his head, no no it didn’t matter. Who cares what they thought? Who cares?
“Hey! Mr. Crazy Cat! I’m talking to you!” Shai screamed again, in her shrill and very annoying voice. She walked over and banged Mystery on the head. Well...not really. Her fist passed through the older cat’s skull but it sent shivers violently up Mystery's spine. “Fuck off! Don’t do that, brat!” She recoiled as his arm passed through her torso and left the feline with another set of violent shivers. Shai laughed nervously, she still hadn’t gotten used to the fact that the old man couldn’t hurt her anymore. “Kitty don’t like the cold? I promise, there will be no sleep, no peace and no quiet while I’m here!” The mutt smirked at the pissed off Mystery, “I can do this all night, Mystery....”
