Hungry... So hungry... [Teresa]

[Hela]

It was the typical night of Hueco Mundo. Darkness, the moon, the white soft sands. It was all normal around the desert as a beast of unimaginable power walked the sands alone. Its feet walked slowly across as it looked bored. Thick scaly armor carried itself across as a tail dragged behind the beast. Admittingly, it was all an open desert. Hela seemed alone out here. As she walked the desert with her wings supporting her weight, she sniffed the air to gather what could possibly be around.

'Hmmm? Is there something close by? I can certainly smell the stench of another being around here but where is this being hiding?'

She had to admit that her own spiritual sensing skills were on the poorer level of things but nonetheless she could still faintly smell things that were close by to a certain degree. As the Wyvern made her way in search of this other being she seemed rather displeased with herself as she was failing to locate just whatever this other thing was. Her thick tail slapped the ground a few times in aggravation as she would continue to look around for something. However, at the end she would miss her target and find there was nothing there.

The Wyern snarled out loud as she felt rather annoyed whatever it was that got away. She slammed her tail against the sands as they sprung up. She felt hungry… Really hungry… She wanted to eat something. Maybe she should go to the world of the living and have a little snack with some humans. Hela would slowly walk her way towards where to go. The hollow seemed desperate for something to eat by this point.

'I’ve gotta get some food… This is just ridiculous.'

Onwards we go!

Teresa

[Teresa]

Wandering throughout this endless nightmare of a background that never got any closer. This was what Teresa was experiencing right now in this moment and the last thousand that she could remember. This just was endless something that Teresa wouldn’t have even fathomed before and now this was where she had awoken. The only thing more devastating, more mind numbing then the endless white sands beyond her vision was the damn pain in her gut. This wasn’t right, Teresa had been walking for what felt like forever and yet she was yet to come across another Hollow was she really going to starve at the starting line.

Teresa’s long slender body bent forwards as her gut was causing her so much pain at the moment that standing up straight would be more difficult than teaching a five year old advanced math. Teresa felt like her vision was starting to blur yet knew that passing out in this damn desert was suicide. That’s when she had to question whether or not she was thinking of humans. Would she pass out from hunger or was this going to be endless torture. The sands shifted a bit to her right, something that altered Teresa immediately.

From the sand out crawled a small animal like hollow that resembled a bearded dragon from the world of the living, but around the size of a small canine. The little hollow looking up at Teresa and roaring a threat only to be silenced by Teresa’s small stick leg. Stomping on this damn Hollow until it finally looked dead. Teresa’s stomach at this point caused pain across her body yet her anticipation for food overwhelming the pain. “Finally!” Teresa dropping to her knees and picking up the Hollow bringing it to her face. The lower section of her mask cracks and then opens revealing row upon row of small fangs laying Teresa’s mouth.

Biting through the body of this Hollow hard enough fueled by desperation that Teresa took off a large chuck in that first bite yet what filled her mouth couldn’t possibly be food. Her consciousness fighting off what was in her mouth, trying to spit the flesh out onto the sands. Her instincts as a Hollow would not allow such an action though as the blood that drained down her throat gave Teresa enough distraction that without total focus on the flesh it managed to find its way behind the blood directly into her stomach. In a fury Teresa tossed the Hollow as blood streamed down her mask.

“NOOO! Bad so bad, not even food, you taste so bad. Just shit, it’s all just shit. Why, WHY! It can’t taste that bad, no I need something else, something that tastes better, something . . . .Human.”

[Hela]

Hela had been hungry for quite some time. Dragging the tail slowly across the sand was just exhausting without anything in her stomach to satisfy her hunger. As the hollow traveled onwards, she had suddenly come across another being much like her. Another hollow to say at least. The Wyvern jolted up as the hollow was a few meters away. Was this what she had felt earlier? It was another hollow? Hela calmly examined what was in front of her and took every note of what she was. She seemed to be a taller and slender than herself. Hela was on the thicker side but that was due to her armor. She would raise her tail up and cautiously stared at her. As a hollow, you never know what could up next. Some hollows are basic in intelligence to where they can communicate while others are simply... incapable.

As the hollow looked over, something seemed alert by her presence to come out of the sands. Hela tilted her head in curiosity as Teresa would look down at it. 'Odd.' The hollow thought to herself as they stared for a moment before Teresa finally attacked the little vermin and proceeded to stomping it down to a pulp. Hela would watch with caution as she would drop to her knees and pick up the creature to eat it. Hela's stomach growled at the sight of her eating. The hollow would begin to feast but would quickly dislike the meal she had just killed. Her eyes widen as Teresa threw away a perfect piece of flesh to devour. This would immediately cause Hela to respond!

"YOU CAN'T JUST WASTE GOOD MEAT!"

The Wyvern flapped her wings as she ran across the sands like a duck gliding across the waters. As soon as she reached the point, she immediately grabbed tiny hollow that was already dead and shook it like a rabid dog! Shaking it all over the place she splashed blood all over the place with it going all down her throat. Large gulps were heard as it left existence and now was inside her stomach. Luckily for her, the wyvern loved the bitterness hollows gave. She could honestly survive easily in the wastes with just hollows. Though obviously it's not like having actual good souls... Like humans as the skinny one puts it.

Picking her teeth now from that, she turned slowly towards the other hollow. This was actually a rare occurrence where another hollow was capable of speech. At least at this level they were at was extremely rare. Is she an Adjuchas?! Honestly, the wyvern was bad at telling what hollow was which. She fought an Adjuchas once... Nearly got killed over it... Luckily, she can fly away if things don't go so well for her. Hela would slowly approach the other hollow, her head tilting at her as if she was curious of what could happen next. She spoke out with her mouth not even moving with her speech.

"You.... You are capable of speech...? Rare. That is extremely rare. Other hollows that talk are bad. Are you bad? Hungry? You don't like how others taste? They taste good. Humans? I have not have human in so long... Food... I'm so hungry..."

[Teresa]

This wasn’t right no this can’t be right. Teresa could remember the other hollow, the one that she had been trapped inside, the one that had eaten her. She could remember seeing through his eyes, watching him eat. He’d eaten Hollows other than himself and had no problem. He’d attacked everyone, he’d eaten anything that he came across without issue. So why did this Hollow taste like shit! Why couldn’t she stomach to eat what little had literally just come across her!

After she screamed and began to break down Teresa was altered to the presence of another Hollow. This one coming out of nowhere and rushing the small hulk of flesh that had once been a Hollow. Wasting no time this Hollow proved that it definitely was something wrong with Teresa. This Hollow practicing swallowed the entire little one whole and looked like she savored that thing. Teresa just imagining it felt her stomach curl in protest with the knowledge that a chunk of it was inside her stomach.

Teresa was aware as the other Hollow walked towards her and in response got back up onto her thin legs standing a bit taller than the other yet much thinner. This being the first Hollow that could speak like her that Teresa came across since gaining freedom. Teresa’s white blank mask shut concealing her mouth as the cracked like look around her mouth vanished. It was almost like a ceramic plate that could mend itself perfectly. A moment later though and two cracks broke out across the near top. Then she opened her eyes and stared at the Hollow in front of her.

Teresa’s eyes a pure white possessing no pupil nor any sort of coloration. They’d appear as empty as her mask and as white as the rest of her. “That is barely food. Nothing more than shit. Bad, good I don’t care I’m hungry. You taste like shit to so I have no reason to kill you. Know where humans are! How to get there!” Teresa remarked excitedly at the prospect of finding out someway to eat a human.

Her instincts really were taking a hold of her rationality, devouring someone wasn’t something that Teresa had ever considered, yet the hunger in her soul was pushing her towards that decision. She didn’t even know why she thought humans would taste any better or different than the hollow she had just taken a bite out of, all she knew was that humans were on her mind. Tasty red blood, screaming human just one. It didn’t have to be big or strong, just tasty . . . So tasty.

[Hela]

This one was very strange. Very, very strange in nature. The semi-feral mind of Hela wanted to fight this hollow to just eat... However, to have another hollow actually talk was something rare. Hela held herself patiently as she watched Teresa put her mouth or whatever it was away from how it appeared. It was rather odd though that they didn't like the taste of other hollows. This was all rather strange indeed. The wyvern would continue to pick her teeth as she stared at the hollows with what appeared to be no eyes. Luckily, her own eyes were yellow but with no pupils.

Teresa would admit it. Hollows to her taste nasty. Seems perfectly reasonable in all honesty. Hela now had much less to worry about since she didn't desire hollows to eat. Teresa seemed to possess the same intelligence as her which was something truly unique. As of right now though, perhaps her instincts were blinding her vision. As the beast exhaled, a bit of steam rushed out of her nostrils as she clearly understood her hunger. "Ahhh... You are hungry! Yes! YES! Humans sound good! We need to find humans! No human roam these lands! We must find way to world! I have no seen living world in years.... YEARS! Has it really been years?!"

Hela almost sounded as if she was mocking herself. It wasn't the fact she was mocking herself. At the end of the day, she was still a beast that many would consider. She was an animal with a brain of a child. All she knew was basic speech and simple logic. Hela had just met this new hollow but she already felt 'clicky' with her because they both had a similar goal. They were both very hungry hollows! As Hela smacked her tail against sand... Yet another creature leaks from the sands. A beetle-like hollow slowly crawls out from the amount of force Hela threw against the ground. She immediately turned to the bug and flapped her wings in excitement!

"YES! YEEEEEEEES! FOOOOD!"

Hela chased after the bug as it quickly zoomed away! It almost looked like a damn circus show as she tried catching the damn thing. However, due to the creature's superior speed she was unable to catch it and loses the hollow when it went into the ground. The wyvern snarled at the missed opportunity and looked up at the sky, growling at the dark moon. "FOOD IS GONE! HATE THIS NOW!" As she lets off a mighty roar like a lion in the savannahs. She would stomp her foot against the ground and walk over to the new hollow and look at her. She was hungry but she came to slowly respect Teresa due to her not attacking her just yet... A potential hunting partner? This could be good!

"You seem not bad! You caught my food earlier! You know what to human world? We can catch humans together! YES! HUNT!"

[Teresa]

Something new, no not new, not new something old. Something that Teresa hadn’t done in . . . Long time, no clue how long she just could tell it had been longer than she’d believe possible. This was something she had done all the time when human. Speaking with someone else, talking with someone else, something old that was new again. Something that Teresa hadn’t realized she actually missed until now. She’d been trapped for so long, all alone yet surrounded by others. Now it was quiet, but focused, now she could speak again.

Teresa could tell that despite the fact she’d taken a big bite out of that hollow, her hunger wasn’t fazed in the least. A literal bottomless pit was inside of her constantly screaming out in protest to the fact flesh wasn’t being shoveled into it. She had to fear whether or not her own hunger could literally consume her with the pain that it was causing. So much that standing up was starting to get hard again. This other Hollow seemed to be dealing with it better. She could eat that shir. Something that was even more clear as she chased around a little bug of shit.

Teresa used this before pause between their interactions in order to survey as best she could through the pain. This other hollow didn’t have pupils so it was impossible to tell exactly where she was looking. Her body was covered in armor. Kinda like Teresa herself, but much heavier looking and thick until Teresa who knew her body was so thin a strong gust of wind would make most fear her snapping like a tree branch. Beyond the tail that this other Hollow had Teresa could notice anything else beyond the fact she was slow.

She couldn’t catch the little piece of shit and got angry. Just like how Teresa had been a minute ago when she’d tasted the Hollow. Both of them were starving, but the desert was not kind. This place was cold and Teresa wanted nothing more than to drown herself in burning hot blood. This other Hollow said Humans a taste good! Teresa couldn’t stop focusing on that thought. She knew it! They had to taste good, HAD TO. Anything tastes better than shot. Had to find humans.

The other Hollow came over and spoke once again saying how they could go to the Human world together, hunt them together! Teresa’s mask cracks open again revealing to this other Hollow her wide cheshire smile formed from her dozens of fangs teeth held behind her full lips. A creepy sight to anyone normal yet to another Hollow this would likely just come off as a strong yes to her suggestion. “HUNT, KILL, EAT, YES! Eat them all!”

[Hela]

It had seem like this other hollow was the type that didn't favor the taste of others after all. She didn't seem offended at all that she had eaten her kill. Good. Perhaps, this one will be a great ally to her? Still, she had to be extremely careful. While this may end up forming some form of alliance, this may not be forever. After failing to catch the beetle that ran off, she would obviously come to her and speak to her about the idea of going to the human world to find humans to devour. This would honestly be of beneficial value if they decided to go together.

The Wyvern would clap her jaws against the top part of her head. This seemed like a satisfying agreement for once. She didn't have to fight another hollow for food... No! She actually had a damn ALLY for once! This made Hela very pleased with the situation. As Hela would crack open the idea to go, Teresa spoke about hunting and killing humans to eat. This was going to be very excellent. So with that in mind Hela would flap her wings against the sands and offer the idea of what to do in this situation.

"You, me! Yes! We eat and hunt together! KILL THOSE THAT TRY TO FIGHT US! We hunt together! Strong together! We strong together!"

As Hela would communicate to her, she was expressing some form of body language in an attempt to communicate with her. It had become very apparent now that the had form their alliance. Now they were eager to get started... As the wyvern flapped her wings once more, she roared out!

"TO THE LIVING PLACE WE GO!"
