„Hey, what's wrong with you?“
Casey shrugged apologizing. „Too less sleep; I was up until late after midnight.“
„No!“ Zeke shook the head. „You might be able to fool your mom, but I'm not falling for your shit.“
„Since when you are my shrink?“
„Let's say I'm a good observer. You don't sleep well for weeks.“
„Zeke, you can be a real pain the ass.“
„Sorry,“ he chuckled. „So, spit it. You know, you can tell me everything.“
Nervously Casey licked his lips. „Do you think they are still here?“
Zeke inwardly cringed; a part of him wished that he wouldn't have asked. Even if he would never admit it, he still had nightmares about that horrible night. „You killed their queen; guess this means they are gone.“
„What if they are more adaptable than we thought? When they did find a way to survive?“
Zeke could feel that he started to tremble. „What do you know?“
„It's only a blurred memory, but when Marbeth died,“ Casey's voice only a whisper now, „she spat all her larvas over me. Some of them... managed it to creep into me.“ He breathed in shakingly. „When I sleep, they are in my head, and I know what they want. Me being their new king.“
„Sounds like a stupid nightmare.“
„But it doesn't feel like one. And it starts to drive me crazy. You know, what will happen when they take control over me.“
Zeke cursed inwardly. He didn't even want to think about it what would happen when the aliens would take over Casey's body. But he forced his panic down and smiled. „Hey, no need to freak out. You are not alone. And when it is necessary, we will deal with it.“
