Bab 83: Cooperate
Jason stayed up on the building for a while, he noticed that Bran will soon gain consciousness.
"Will those things not come?"
Jason said as he looked around.
"Maybe I should wait for a while"
He waited for a few minutes and noticed the Bran regained his consciousness,
"Where am I?"
Bran asked himself and tried to remember, he then suddenly grabbed his head and started to scream in pain.
'Looks like he is gaining all the memories, just like Sara'
Jason though and waited for a while, he saw Bran has fainted again from all the pain he went through.
"I guess I have to wait for a while"
Jason said and lied down on the hard floor and waited for something to happen.
His waiting finally came to a stop because he heard aggressive howling rushing towards his direction, he opened one of his eyes and looked to see what is causing these howling, he got up as he saw the huge cloud of soul-like creatures.
"I guess I was right again, they do come when an old one leaves a body, the others come to take it away, I think I need to talk with Sara and figure out more about these things"
Jason said as he observed their behavior.
The swarm of souls started to make a tornado around the alley where Bran's body is, Bran seems to get back his consciousness and when he opened his eyes and saw the storm of Soul-leeches circling him, he screamed in fear and tried to get up and run away, as he did he stumbled again and fell on his butt, he backed down as his eyes reflected pure horror seeing these Soul-Leeches.
The Soul-leeches became frenzied as they started to rush towards Bran's body but the ones in the front would get torn apart by the ones in the back.
Soon an all-out massacre started to take place between these Soul-leeches, Jason just stood there and watched, it was the same scene he witnessed in his room, these soul-like creatures fight till only one is left to take over the body.
Bran is on the ground as fear made his mind completely go blank and he might just turn retarded if he experiences any more scares.
Soon only one Soul-Leech is left and it dashed towards Bran and entered his body, soon Bran started to twitch again and closed his eyes, after few minutes he opened his eyes again and this time he returned back to how he was before Jason met him.
Jason also noticed this and got surprised, he thought he might have some personality changes but from the looks of it, he seems to act as if nothing happened at all.
Bran got up and stretched his hand, legs, neck, and jaw, the Soul-Leech in him seems to be getting used to the new body it has claimed as it received all the knowledge of its host's previous Soul-leech.
"Who was that man who killed the old one, he might be dangerous, I need to get out of here"
Bran said and tried to run away but Jason has been waiting for such a long time, how could he let go of this experiment of his.
He jumped down from the high building right in front of Bran, Bran felt something dangerous is approaching and he backed off, as he did he saw a man landing right in front of him, the ground beneath his feet cracked a little.
"It's you again"
Bran got scared and backed off, even if Bran has a new Soul-leech in him they still share the same experience.
"So you do remember me, having a change is soul doesn't mean anything I guess"
Jason said and got to his feet.
"So tell me what are you and I will let you live"
Jason said.
He knows he cannot put Bran under control or that soul thing will die, he has to make it feel pain so that it talks, the old fashion way.
Jason took out his baton and swung it a few times which made sounds by vibrating the air.
Bran backed away once again, he knows he cannot fight Jason.
"Look, man, just answer the question and you will be spared from all the torture you are going to face"
Bran may be stronger than normal humans but is still weaker compared to other supernatural beings, the Soul-Leech in him is just a little stronger than the one he had before as it has all the experience of the previous one and its own power as it survived the brutal battle to win over this body.
The Soul-Leech who is now Bran decided to cooperate with Jason since he cannot die right after getting a body to control.
"Ok I will cooperate"
Bran said and calmed down a little.
"What are you?"
Jason asked the first question as he has no idea what he is dealing with.
"I am a Soul-leech"
"Soul-leech? whatever. Why do you take over this body?"
"To grow?"
"Explain"
"I am a newborn Soul-leech so I had nothing that will help me develop, so taking over a new body and having access to their brain will help us develop"
"You seem to have developed already"
"I gained all the experience and knowledge of the previous Soul-leech who possessed this body"
"Oh, so that's how it is?"
"Explain to me how did the previous Soul-Leech dies right after getting out of the body but you and those whole bunch seemed to be fine"
"As I said we are newborn, we don't need a body to stay alive but we will just be like a newborn child and won't be able to grow or develop at all, so when we take over a body we will lose our ability to stay alive outside the body as our life force will get connected to our host's body, if the host dies we die as well, but its completely opposite when a Soul-leech dies before the host, the host will gain back all the memories and experience we had"
Bran explained.
Jason thought for a while and asked another question.
"Why do the host who is free seemed so scared of you Soul-Leeches?"
"When a Soul-leech dies before a host, it leaves behind a deep fear of our species to them so that all the knowledge the previous one has won't be wasted by going to a human, we Soul-Leeches are able to take over a person who is suffering from extreme fear, so when the host sees our species they get scared and it allows newborn Soul-Leeches to take over that body and receive all that knowledge"
"How can you take over a person who is not under the control of any Soul-leeches?"
Now Jason is trying to get the real information as he already has a rough understanding of how these Soul-leeches are.
