Pia did not answer. She did not know what to say, really. She was embarrassed precisely because of that time in the labs. She had gone completely wild then. The loss of control had been frightening, but also strangely cathartic. Something inside her had been released.
And at night, asleep, disjointed memories had re-emerged, sensations of being wrapped in living darkness, hot lust and cold laboratory rooms. Even thinking of it made her blush.

Pia quickly reached behind her back and unclasped the bra. She took it off, covering herself with the hand. The skirt followed soon after. She let it simply fall to the ground. She hesitated a bit next, before sliding her panties down to the ground.

She then began taking on the black garment, half expecting it to squirm and move.

The shadowy copy snuggled up in the additional covers, rolling up inside of them quickly. From the look written on Narrisa's face and the tone in her voice, the false Pia knew that she hadn't believed her about something she had ate. That had been the point though, she had meant to make her story ring false and cause question to what could have been possibly causing her to feel this way. The girl hadn't taken the bait though, simply just content to help her in silence while keeping her thoughts to herself. That certainly wouldn't do though perhaps she could play it up a bit more. "I...It...I'm not sure...what is wrong with me I...I think...maybe something happened to me last night..." As her Master she had quite the considerable acting skills as she struggled with her own words, her body giving a hard shiver as she tried to explain her situation. Even if she had known if the girl had been attacked before, she wasn't about to spell it out that she might have been, or at least pretending like she had been. Instead she just wrapped herself up tighter inside of the covers her body trembling and shivering as a cold sweat began to bead at her forehead, the additional covers it seemed were not helping.

Things would have been alot simpler if she didn't have to maintain this disguise or at least she could have gotten to the fun part alot sooner. Even if she was able to manipulate the situation as she wanted she wasn't allowed to take it very far for the time being, knowing that while this happened another game was getting ready to begin.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Noticing Pia's blush grow ever deeper the dark entity knew his words and her having to strip was having a greater effect than she was letting on. Pushing that point, "Didn't you enjoy our time together Pia? From the way you were acting, I'd be certain you did." His eyes watched, never missing a moment as she squirmed in place, trying to cover herself as she removed every last article of her clothing. His eyes traveled up and down her body, fondly remembering the taste of her soft skin, its feel and how he was able to pull such sweet sounding cries from those lips. It was nearly enough to drive him off of his throne and pull the young woman down onto the floor and have his way with her right then and there. If he hadn't been so thrilled by the prospect of the game itself he would have.

The black one piece swim suit felt like a cold slippery rubber as it touched to the girls skin though otherwise seemed quite normal for the moment. One thing about this swimsuit that should have been noted was that it would fit Pia like a glove. The dark creature had tailored it especially for her as molded perfectly to her body. "A perfect fit. Now go ahead and get re-dressed so that we can get you back to the prep rally and begin our little game." The beings words held no amount of kindness to them no matter how polite he continued to be or how friendly of a smile he maintained. His cold, expressionless eyes held the truth.

Narissa frowned as she heard the girl's problem. There wasn't much more she could do for her, except for what she already offered, anything else could have had a negative side effect on her status. The sight of her shivering under the blankets put her more at ill ease.

"Hmm . . . alright, let me just try to turn that shower on like I said." Moving away from the blonde, Narissa made her way into the bathroom stall within the two person room. Inside, a flick of the bright fluorscent lights had he squinting herself for a second, he eyes already adjusted to the shadowings of her own room.

"Let's see . . . No use keeping it on only warm." It wasn't as if she was going to go in, just let the steam buildup and help warm the room. Turning the knob inside the shower, she quickly rotated it to the the furthest it could go left. A shot of water spouted out from the shower head. Placing her hand under the current, she could feel the needle pricks of the pressure on her and the buildig temperature. Already a small bit of steam was beginning to puff inside the stall. Satisfied with knowing it was still gaining heat, she left the device to its own end as she left the brightly lit stall, leaving both the light and door open.

"Alright, that should help to get this place warmer," she said under her breath. Leveling an even look to the blonde, she drew closer until she could seat herself near the cocoon of a girl. If her health seemd to get worse no matter what she did, she couldn't help but feel a tad bit upset at her. She was doing everything she could for Pia, but the blonde keeping, most likely important things from her, she wouldn't be able to help to the besf her abilities, and being had like that wasn't settling within her.

"Look . . . I know earlier I said I wasn't trying to pry . . . But I'm really getting worried. " Confirming that, she laid her hand above the brow of the blonde, pressing her other to her own. "Even your temperature isn't getting any better. Please Pia, I know we don't know eachother much, but whatever you're keeping hidden . . . If it can help you . . . Please tell me." The earnest words of the russet skinned girl rung true and, even though she wasn't sure if Pia would tell her, she would at least have consider it.

"No.. I mean.. I just.. uh.. Never mind.". Pia gave up trying to refute the dark man's comment before she even began. She had enjoyed herself. Every inhibition had been lost, she had been a creature of pure craving.

The black outfit felt like a second skin. It fit absolutely perfectly. Tentatively, she moved a bit. The suit did not impede her movements at all, although she could feel it move, even if just barely, against her skin.
There was something distincly erotic about the feeling.

After that time, the one time with the enigmatic being that had trapped her, the feeling of being encased in something had been howering at the edge of her subconciousness. It had awoken in her dreams, and in her fantasies during those private moments in bed when she satisfied herself.

She dressed quickly, slipping into her shirt, top and jacket. Her shoes were already on. A glance at the scene involving Narissa and the clone convinced her that she needed to hurry.

"I-I suppose I can forget about these?" She said, holding her underwear in her hand. "If I leave them here, shall I get them back?"

The fake wondered what her Master thought of the scene before him and how sweet and endearing this darkly skinned woman was being in trying to aid her. With where things had gone she was going to have to go into a bit more detail, though she hardly wanted to use any specific's. To much detail would ruin the game entirely and while she wanted this girl to feel sympathetic towards her, she didn't want to lose her chance to play with her. A fine line to walk to be sure and she had no way of knowing if even the current story she had prepared would push them both passed that point. Rolling onto her side, the young blonde looks over towards Narrisa as she answers, "I..." Taking a deep breath, the shadowy creature ever pretending to be the girl known as Pia paused as if trying to collect her thoughts. "Ever...since I woke up...I've felt cold...it's only been getting worse...I don't know why...it's like I haven't woken up from...that...dream..." Her words taper off, obviously uncomfortable even mentioning anything about this dream she had. Closing her eyes for a moment, the copy heard her Masters whisper reaching across the shadowy void and letting her know where things currently stood. Only heard by her, she continued to lightly tremble though perhaps it wasn't just from the cold now but the rememberance of her dream.

Part of her was disappointed to hear that the human girl she was copying was going along with her Masters game which meant things were going to progress slowly. Created and given her own thoughts as she had been, this creature did not share her Master's timeless patience.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pushing himself up from his large throne, The Nightbringer smiles down at the young blonde. It was amusing to him watching her attempt to justify her actions by trying to maintain what they both knew to be lies. Her faltering words only proved what he had been saying and he would have bet she was also aware of that little fact. Only after she had finished re-dressing and posed her question did the grey skinned figure offer his own response.

"Yes Pia, you can forget about them for the time being and I have little interest in keeping your clothing. The game awaits. Remember the rules Pia. You cannot tell anyone about me or what is happening to you. As you can not mention your friend or fake that is now with her. All these things will cause you to lose the game. You win by managing to act as if nothing is wrong and not drawing undo attention to yourself. I'm sure I don't have to mention this but attempt to take off that swimsuit and all you will be telling me is that you'd rather your friend play in your stead." With a wave of his hand the sounds coming from the prep rally grow much more clear as the translucent wall of obsidian smoke swirls together forming a circular portal. "Once you step through the portal this game beings."

Narissa sucked on the inside of her lip, contemplating what Pia told her, or more so, lack of what she told her. Never having many bad dreams for herself, forgetting them easilly when she woke up, she wasn't able to really understand the entire situation.

"A dream? Like what?"

Sitting back more on the bed, Narissa allowed the girl to say her peace, hopfully, it would be enough for her to know her situtation, or atleast, know how to continue with it. One thing she was gratful for, which inwardly made another question that she didn't raise, was that what was leading Pia to feel ill was nothing but a dream. Mentally, that meant it was probably something she could get over in time, nothing that she would need to be hospitalized for in general.

But the question in her mind, was 'How does it relate at all to her physical disposition?' Dreams and fright couldn't lead one to look like the lost all the blood in their body. For this long atleast. A dream shouldn't, atleast, make them so weak, right? Whatever it was, Narissa was sure not to show her inner debate on her face, as not to discourage the blonde from answering.

"How . . .bad was it?"

Pia cast a glance towards the scene at the other end. Narissa seemed oblivious to the danger she was in. She seemed so.. caring! She seemed sincerely worried about Pia, even if that was not the real her.
For that reason, she would do as this creature of darkness comanded.

Pia stepped closer to the portal. Slowly, she turned and looked at her captor. "I. I do not trust you, but I will play by your rules because I have no choice. Uh.. please prove me wrong in this. Please do not do anything to her."

Then she turned towards the gate. One one hand, she dreaded what was to come. On the other, she felt something.. something akin to exitement. A thrill of expected danger. Memories of the night in the lab flashed through her head. And the man in the dark room was not unhandsome.

With mixed emotions, Pia took a deep breath and stepped through the gate.

The fake could clearly hear and see the concern coming from Narrisa obviously trying to help or make sense of what Pia was experiencing so that she could provide her with the best help she knew how. The shadowy copy could tell that the first game had begun and time was going to start becoming a factor if she wanted to play with this woman. As much as she didn't want to come right out and say the lie she had created for what ailed her, under the pretense that it was a dream made things considerably easier. Shivering and shaking she closed her eyes after a moment, opening her mouth to speak though at first not a single sound managed to be uttered. Taking a deep breath and seemingly gathering herself she tried again, "It...I...was attacked...in the dream...and when I woke...I felt...weird...like this." Any further details would have to be wrenched out of her and now depending on how Narrisa responded she would have her opening to play her own little game. The shadowy copy would not risk ruining what her Master had but in place and she did not wish to fail him.

The Nightbringer's alien mind was well aware of what his puppet was planning and the words that were being spoken between them. He didn't mind as the moment all she was doing was helping to build that connection between the two of them and give the dark monster leverage when he finally came to act upon the second part of the game.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You always have a choice Pia. However, what happens with that girl is in your hands now." The dark beings words seem to whisper directly into her ear, echoing softly before fading away. With every step closer to the gate, the sounds of the rally would grow louder and standing right before it was as if actually being at the rally once more. People cheering, laughing and talking filled Pia's ears. Once the blonde girl stepped through, she would find herself standing in one of the larger shadows in the corner of the room, no one seeming to have noticed her sudden appearance. As the game itself had now begun, the suit wastes little time as it tightens against her skin, completely hugging to her flesh as if nothing more that truly a second skin. What feels like a pair of hands presses lightly against her back, almost giving her a gentle nudge out from the corner before squeezing her shoulders and lightly running down her back. There were no drugs involved this time, no artifical stimulation or enhancement but that would only make the game take longer and make it all that much more enjoyable.

"Find somewhere out in the crowd to sit Pia, somewhere that you can be easily seen by a great many of your fellow students." The monster's words once more whispering into her ear, giving further instruction on what he expected of her during the game.

Nodding, Narissa said nothing as the girl spoke.

Outwardly, she was conveying all of her concerns for the girl. It bothered her to see anyone like this. The sickness, the weakness, the overall pale and coldness of the girl had her worried.

And it was for those very same reasons that inwardly, she was questioning.

Waking up from a dream didn't sound like . . .reasonable . . .Realistic. . . .along those lines. Each answer that Narissa had to pry from her was only leaving her with the same amount of questions and nothing to show for it. But how exactly could she deal, trying to help when all Pia was doing was keeping it from her.

'Is she trying to make sure she stayed ill?'

By this time, the inside of the bathroom was a blurry fog of a sauna and the steam and heat could already be felt inside the main room as the cold of the airconditior was beaten back by the shower steams.

"I better turn that off, still want to be able to breath afterall," she joked to the girl, sitting up and heading to the bathroom.

Yes, she may have outwardly showed nothing but kindness, but Pia's actions were being noted with careful thoughts.

Pia did not need any enhancing drugs to make her react to the movements of the suit. The strong sensory impact of her and the night being's previous encounter had left their mark, made their stamp on her nervous system. Shivers ran down her spine, and she could already feel her nipples harden against the flexible fabric.

Without thinking, she turned around when she heard the voice, before realizing it could be anywhere or nowhere.
"But.. But.. I can't.. won't they understand what is.. Oh!" Pia protested aloud. A couple of students looked at her strangely. Pia shut her mouth and blushed.
She did realize what the being planned. Apparently, the bar had been raised.

Her dread for her coming embarrassment competed with the quivering anticipation of what her suit could do to her. She had no choice, however.
Apologizing in a low voice to all she pushed by, she began moving through the crowd, looking for a good spot.

Once Narrisa stood up and left to deal with the steaming shower, the fake Pia narrowed her eyes a small bit in thought. No one would have believed any normal dream could have caused what she was experiencing. So did that mean that this girl had encountered creatures before? Or was she simply humoring her? Still laying on her side, Pia brought her knee's up to her chest as she curled herself into a ball and hide her face away between her knee's and wrapped her arms around her legs. Cold sweats rolled down the side of her face and clung to her arms as her body trembled a bit harder. The lack of any further questions for the moment could have meant just to many different things but she was content to go with what seemed like the most reasonable of them and believe that this student had no idea what she was even talking about. With little choice left she would go into greater detail of the dream and see where that took them.

"The dream was so cold and dark...there was...something...someone I...it attacked me. I don't...know...what's wrong with me. I...just...just woke up like this..." Some words came easier than others, though it was all just part of the act. The young blond girl would seem at the verge of tears, obviously not able or willing to go into any greater detail. The dark clone couldn't help but be a bit disappointed at the thought that with the way things were going she wasn't going to be able to have any of her own fun. Instead all she was really doing is helping her Masters game for later.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The prep rally was still quite busy and bustling with students. The crowd was a dull roar of constant talking, cheering and laughter as various speakers and performances. It would still be quite difficult to find a place to sit and it was doubtful that the creature running this little game was going to be very patient. Matching the girls shiver, the suit rippled against her soft flesh as her nipples hardened and poked against the stiff rubbery material of the black swimsuit. The fabric covering her tender buds began to clamp down around them, squeezing and trapping them in the ever shifting suit. The invisible hands that had dragged down her back slipped upwards, following the curve of her back as their thumbs rub against her spine. The feel, the movements and even its reactions were exactly as the suit in the Labs had been. Luckly enough before the suit had any further reactions, a seat at one of the very bottom benchs opened up. Though with little doubt this was just the beginning of the game that the dark monster had planned.

Still within the dark shard he had created, The Nightbringer sat and watched as both games unfolded, amused. As before he could feel and taste the young blonde girls skin inside of the suit. There were a few final touches he had to make for a bit later in the game and then he would be able to finally introduce himself properly to the dark maiden whom had so selflessly taken care of his dark servant.

Listening to the girl silently as she slowly stepped into the bathroom, Narissa contemplated the words Pia spoke.

'Still . . . the same thing . . . This is only making me more concerned.' But between the girl's lying about something or her health, she wasn't sure what.

Surrounding herself in the hot steam that was in the bathroom, Narissa blinked until she could see the knob inside the stall. The steam had built up enough that it was actually difficult seeing only a few feet clearly. Reaching out for the knob, a drop of the scalding water splashed down on her hand as she let out a yelp.

"Holy cow!" Pullling it back, she wiped the liquid of quickly on her shorts, soon rubbing at it gently. 'Note to self: fire is hot.' She snickered to herself at the stand up joke she remembered as she reached more carfully for the knob again, succefully twisting it to off. The water soon died and nothing was left but the slowly pervading steam.

But where did that leave her, but with the questionable girl? She needed more time to think on this.

"Um, Pia, I have to go to the bathroom right quick, kay?" and without waiting for the reply, Narissa closed the door, the sound of a click with the locking mecahnism ensuring the girl and steam remained inside.

"It shouldn't take long." 'If only to think more on this.' The red flags were too many, the simple things left unanswered. But why? And . . . .for what end?

"Ahh-ah...mmmmm.." Pia whimpered. She knew the suit could do a lot more than it now did, but already her body was acting up.
She nearly stumbled and fell as the suit caressed her, sending waves of pleasure though her being.

Luckily, a spot opened up.
"Sorry.."
"Just let me pass, please.."
"Excuse me!"

Pia made her way towards the seat. One second she nearly lost hope, it appeared that another girl was claiming the seat, but apparently, she just paused to say something to a friend. Pia darted towards the empty seat, almost jumping into it.
"Uh, err.. sorry. Is this seat taken?"
But none near her took any heed of her, their attention elsewhere.

The shadow creature left to watch over the young black girl perked up for only a moment, pushing her self up briefly as Narrisa cried out from the scolding burn of the hot water. "Are you alright?" Never once did she drop the act of her feigned weakness or illness, dropping back onto the bed and pillow. The girl laughing it off was a good sign and her Master wouldn't have forgiven her had she seriously injured herself. In the fakes mind it was clear that she had likely never encountered one of the monsters here before, having missed all the clues and even some of the not so subtle hints about it. It was still just an assumption and it could have been wrong but until otherwise proven the fake would just have to keep things moving slowly. Had she been given enough time she perhaps could have manipulated the events into working more into her favor, but she was now fresh out of it. Rolling onto her back, staring upwards at the ceiling the shadowy duplicate just sighs as she could tell her Master had begun the first of his games and was now making ready to begin the second. She could feel the shadows engulfing the exits, sealing them shut and making sure that the windows were blacked out and not letting a single ray of the morning sun inside of the darkened room. Disappointed as she might have been at how things had turned out, "Pia" still had a role to play.

Little about the room changed as the Nightbringer pulled himself from within the shard of shadows and manifested once more inside of the the material realm. Stepping free from the wall, the shadows cling to his ashen skin like a tar, slowly slipping free to reveal the half naked dark adonis. His bare feet padded across the carpet and over to where his puppet lay, coming to a stop at the foot of the bed. Hooking his thumbs into his black slacks, the dark monsters just looked down towards her. Though normally in this form his eyes would be as empty pools of white, they currenty beamed with a crimson energy though they gave off no light. "Miss me, Pia? I told you that there was no where you would be able to run that I couldn't find you."

Bolting upright at the sound of his echoing voice, the copy acts exactly as she was directed and panics letting out a strangled cry as she tumbles off the bed and tries to scramble backwards on the floor away from the monster. "I'M...I'M STILL DREAMING?!" The dark man doesn't move to follow just yet his mind wondering just what the real player of his game will do.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Only after she had sat down did the dark whispering words of the Nightbringer echo inside of her ear. "Remember the rules..." As the voice faded the suit begin to shift once more, tightening as a few pairs unseen hands from all over the suit began to touch and rub against Pia's soft skin. The hands seemed to avoid her nether regions for the moment as the groped and massaged the rest of her body, squeezing and teasing every other inch of her flesh to which was covered by the dark, seemingly alive material. One set of hands cupped around the girls slender waist, fingers curling around in a light embrace as that pair begins to ever so slowly drift upwards, tips of them digging into her as they grind and nudge against her body. The monster didn't see any need to rush as he was quite enjoying the girls reactions to the suit as things were and the prep rally was far from over. He wondered just how well the girl would actually do or if she would even be able to hold on an be the first of his victims at the school to win at one of his games. Not that it mattered to him if she won or not as then the next game would simply await her. He wondered just how far he would be able to push her before she would refuse to play any further and sacrifice her friend's saftey to end the game. Letting those hands continue to slide up her, they come to a rest just right beneath the young woman's breasts pushing up against them from underneath. Up until then not a single one of the other hands touching and teasing at her could have been seen moving around inside of the suit, but those hands cupping against those her firm breasts actually caused them to shift upwards ever so slightly, raising them as the pair of hands kneads firmly at her fleshy mounds. The feel of Pia's body and the sweet smell of her skin were as he had remembered.

The students around Pia remained focused on the rally, not one of them noticing the slight alien movement or shifting of her clothing as the living suit had come to life. A quiet whisper that would remain unheard to all but the small blonde to which it spoke returning again, "You must not be very good friends with that girl if the suit is affecting you already this much." The dark monster teased, able to feel the girls heart beating rapidly inside of her...her excitement and apprehension at what was to come was not hidden from him. Though his attentions were split between two different games, he found little difficulty maintaining them. Having the ability to create and control many different shadow minions and multi-task between them certainly had its advantages. That shard of shade he had created remained in place, prepared for either of the girls for a later part of his twisted pleasures.

Narissa found herself sitting on the back of the toilet lid, simply letting the steam of the room to clear up any of her sinuses that weren't clear before as she mulled over Pia.

In truth, she was split in the middle on her position with Pia.

On one side, she knew this sick girl was ill and was simply trying to rest and was weak and Narissa was just lucky enough to be around and help her out. Doubting such feeblness was bothering her very much. On the other hand . . . Her mind was screaming red flags at things that seemed almost ridiculous now that she was having time to think about it, the warmth of the steam relaxing her more than she had realized. Her muscles were so tense from this!

She just had to think to herself, "She's just got herself a little startled . . . and ate something bad .. . and says dreams give her this stuff . . .ugh!" she moaned under her breath. WHo was she trying to fool in herself!? Nothing was adding up and no matter how trivial it seemed her mind couldn't calm her down.

"Fine . . .I'll just . . .let her get better here and just finish homework . . .After that I don't need to speak with her or anything if these things keep bugging me." But even with that little proclomation, it was only making her more nervous.

Standing from the toilet lid, she resolved in herself to just wait it out, no reason being hauled up in a steamy, not making her skin moist from the steam and hair the touch of frizz, room and do nothing, she made way to get to the door when a chilling male voice reached her ears.

'What the . . . She couldn't have invited a guy over in my room. Could she?'

But it was far from that as she heard the terror gripped voice of Pia identifying the male to a point that Narissa was almost afraid of the connections.

'No . . . It couldn't be!'

Grasping the handle of the door, she yanked the door open as the chill of the room bit at her moist skin as Narissa saw just the product of a nightmare standing before her.
