The creature, for lack of a better word, woke to an incessant, trilling buzz. Opening its eyes, it surveyed its surroundings for the cause of the annoyance, but couldn't find it. It lifted itself upright, before looking at the surface it had rested upon. White folds across a warm, soft padding confused the creature. Another layer of material lay in a heap towards its right.
"
Bed
."
The voice seemed to echo from deep within its mind, crying out from the dark muddle of its consciousness. Of course. This was the bed. In the room! The bedroom! Its bedroom! Marvelous, how that word was formed. It felt elated at its achievement, but then remembered the voice. It had helped it, but if it came from its own mind, shouldn't it still be its own success?
No. The answer came suddenly to the creature. It was "Host".
It was simply a matter of fact. There was no doubt in the creature, and it was accepted as truth instantly. It
felt
correct. Host was there. "It" was there, too. But "It" was in charge now. It crouched, peering over the side of the bed. Down below, a smooth carpet covered the floor.
"Carpet. I know carpet!"
It thought, "
That came so quickly that time. Strange."
It positioned its legs, and slid off the bed. Not expecting the sudden weight, the creature's knees collapsed under it, and It fell to the ground. A lance of pain shot from Its rear, but quickly subsided. As the creature peered down towards where the pain had come from, it surveyed Its anatomy. Two legs, two arms, strange growths, about five, on each arm and leg. They could all be moved.
"
Toes
."
It looked around more. Two strange lumps obstructed Its view of some of Its lower body.
"Aha!"
It thought, "
Those are breasts! I'm a female, then."
Peering below the breasts, It spotted an opening between its legs. A vagina.
Something caught its interest. Leaking out of the vagina was fluid. A LOT of fluid. Sticking Its hands beneath its dripping mound, It pulled away after only a few seconds to find Its hand completely soaked. Tasting the fluid, it was neither sweet, salty, nor bitter. The fluid wasn't water either, as it had an almost thick, smoky feeling to it. Licking Its hand clean, the creature stood slowly, carful to not topple again. Heading shakily towards the exit to the bedroom, it saw a clear trail of the...
fluid
behind it.
The buzzing began again as It entered the next room. It searched for the cause, and quickly found it. Hanging on the baby blue wall was a rounded rectangular object. The creature pulled the device from the wall sharply, hoping to break it to end the sound. While the sound stopped, a voice came through the other side.
"Hello? ... sick...work ... home... feel better... alright...again!"
Most of the words flew over Its head, but a few were recognized. It placed the device back on the wall. The voice stopped.
"
Phone."
"Annoying thing. Glad it stopped."
The creature searched the room.
"
Kitchen. Table. Fridge. Banana. Dishes. Mess. Phone. Remote. Suitcase. Picture. Family..."
The creature quickly silenced the overwhelming stream of information from Host. It quickly reviewed each item, laying on the table, trying to open the fridge, tasting the banana, rubbing a dish, trying to open the suitcase, but nothing seemed to yield anything interesting until It came to the picture. Four creatures, similar in design to itself, stood side by side, smiling towards whoever looked at them. Four grown humans. Adults, but two were younger than the others. The first was easily distinguishable as a male, due to the obvious lack of the swell of breasts. The other three were clearly females, and very much alike in appearance. Slightly darker skin than the male, black hair, deep, brown eyes, large breasts and thin legs. However, the one on the farthest had much shorter hair than the all but the male.
This was a family, presumably, the hosts. "
I am likely controlling the older female. The Queen of the 'Family,' and eldest of the females. Possibly subservient to the male."
Suddenly, a noise began to sound from somewhere deep in the home. A rushing of water, like a heavy rain, began back through a larger room and around a corner.
"Shower. Adya.
"
Only one of the words had any bearing on the creature. The first brought a picture to Its mind. A room, with a metallic object shooting water in a strong streams from its small holes. It looked like a strange penis, urinating pure water onto the floor. But, suddenly, a person walked into the shower. They were naked, and began cleaning themselves with the shower-water.
Naked was vulnerable. As the wolf smells its prey, the creature dropped to its hands and knees, slinking towards the "shower room." A base instinct was taking over the creature, so powerful that it drove all other thought and desire out. As It came to the door, it simply pushed it aside; it had been left foolishly ajar. A blast of warm air and steam exited the door and into the home. The creature slipped through the doorway and closed it softly. It could hear the cascade of water, but couldn't see the shower or its occupant. The bathroom was shaped like an L, with a two sink counter and mirror running the length of the bathroom. Presumably, the shower was in the small indent in the wall the end of the bathroom.
The creature stood, close to the wall, as to not alert its prey of its presence. It looked at the mirror. Though somewhat cloudy, It could make out a reflection. It was indeed the older female. Still at the tail end of her youth, Host had soft, heavy breasts, which remained perky despite years of feeding two baby daughters. Her hair ran all the way down to her waist, framing a face of mature, intelligent beauty. Her eyes especially stood out, sitting atop high cheekbones, as both alluring and dangerous. Her lips were full, yet delicate. A mix between mature beauty and youthful sexiness, Host was obviously an example of what an attractive female of her race should look like.
