Baalth
@AmerillaRose
Baalth had spent some time already observing the little girl that he had taken control of. Amusing - that's the word he'd use to describe it. Her mother was... obedient - that was the one and only advantage to her.Baalth had to, quite reluctantly, admit that the human worms were not exactly the same as pawns to move on a chessboard. Katherine 's mother had been incredibly cowardly and almost unable to do evil. Every time he wanted something done, if only it involved a little bit of danger or doing something outside the law, he would have to use all his craftiness and persuasiveness, which were A LOT.
So yeah, he could just return to his original form and search for a new puppet... or he could give that little brat a try - she wasn't all too pathetic after all, was she - she certainly had some nerves. And, apparently, he would have to talk to her sometime already, if he didn't want her to sell off his crystal... not that the latter wasn't incredibly amusing as well - driving all his "owners" crazy was something quite funny - he had done it to Katharine's mom, even though unwillingly, leading her to an earlier grave.
"Now... scream!" he whispered in a joking, yet quite startling way into her mind - his whisper directly piercing Katherine's skull just at the moment she started getting sleepy. He couldn't resist laughing, both in her mind and with his real voice, filling the entire room with a spooky echo
"Just how terrified are you, little worm? And yes, this is happening, fool." he asked, still laughingly.
