Chapter 8: This is not my body

Chapter 8: This is not my body

Staring at both figures in confusion, Alex was disturbed to the point he had to blurt out the name "Nebula," to the goddess lady and even went on as far as to inquire if that truly was the name she went by.

"Let me guess, she hasn't told you her name yet? It's not you honey, it's just how Nebula operates. She's like that with every single one of them," the newcomer said, waving her hand like it was nothing before staring back at the goddess lady.

"Pete, I see you are back, again," the goddess lady finally spoke.

"Wait, hang on.... Pete? That's your name? Isn't that name like a guy thing?!!" Alex asked in his head but never got the chance to talk much because the ladies were still in a middle of a talk. Alex decided to keep his mind less occupied so he could listen to what they were saying properly.

"So what Nebula? How long has it been now?...I'm sorry that's a stupid question, it's been twenty three years from where I came from but I'm guessing that's not really of any concern. I really love what you have done with the place!!" Pete, the new arrival said in a tone that didn't depict sincerity in any way. Rather, it sounded more like a mockery.

Pete walked around the area, not straying far from the goddess lady and Alex who remained at the same position not saying anything to each other. Alex already has a mountain of questions he would have loved to ask but from the looks of things, there was a whole lot to uncover and he didn't even feel he belonged in the conversation.

"Yes, my name is Nebula," the goddess lady finally responded to Alex's earlier question. Alex thought the name was quite the beautiful name and wondered why she was hiding it from him. He thought for sure if he got named something as beautiful as that, he would be first to introduce himself to everyone he met. But somehow, it was as though Nebula held secrets she was unwilling to relinquish.

"Classic Nebula, always shutting everyone out. You know, you got like maybe ..I don't know, another eternity ahead of you, it wouldn't be a bad time to start making friends, you feel me?" The new arrival said in a brash tone as she didn't look like she was putting in any effort to have her words filtered or anything.

"I'm sorry, who are you? And can you be anymore rude, already?!!" Alex inquired, having had enough of the audacity of the stranger known to be Pete. Pete immediately on hearing Alex speak to her turned in his direction and arched an eyebrow in a surprised, questioning way.

"Oh wow, this one's quick, Neb. I see you have yourself a new boy toy," Pete said whilst covering her mouth almost like she didn't mean to spill the beans when it was crystal clear that was all her intention.

Nebula then at that moment turned to face Pete and for the second time since Alex met Nebula, he saw a change of emotional expression on her face. From the dull unreadable one or the gloomy expression she held all the time now to a fiercely arched brow that indicated displeasure.

"What do you want, Pete?" Nebula asked immediately. Alex thought for sure that it was a rather odd thing to ask. The thing he expected from Nebula was to put this Pete person back in their place but it seemed as though the goddess or as he saw her to be was far more considerate than even he was. As a matter of fact, on the spot, he thought of a number of ways to punish the new arrival.

Well, even though they all involved some way of making Pete scream in pleasure, it still didn't matter as long as she was being "punished".

"You know what I want Nebula. Aren't you tired of this game? We keep playing it everytime. Just give me what I want and poof...I'll be gone, out of your hair," Pete responded.

"But then what? You'd return in like a day or two and have me repeat the process all over? You know I can't do that. We've already broken more than enough laws already. I have done everything I can for you, Pete. It's time you accept that this is your fate and it can't be changed.

Live the rest of your life chasing after something you can never catch or allow a peaceful ending to occur. The choice is yours," Nebula uttered.

"I call bullsh*t!!" Pete yelled.

She walked around in circles holding onto her head as though there was a sharp pain coursing through her head. She then suddenly stopped abruptly and turned to face Nebula and said...

"I know what this is. It's because it doesn't work for you. It's because unlike you, my soul isn't damned to this eternal curse. I can access something you have craved for all your existence. That's the issue, you can't stand me being happy, can you Neb??!" Pete uttered harshly like a woman possessed, swinging her arms around to dramatize her emotions and in the process allowing her soft breast swing left and right. Through out the conversation between Nebula and Pete, this was all Alex was focused on at some point.

"You don't get it, do you? I'm trying to save you from you!!!" Nebula pointed her fingers at Pete.

..."What we are doing is damaging you. You barely last a day from my calculations on recent trials. What do you think that means? Huh? It means you are dying!! Your soul energy is depleting and if we keep using more of it, you know what would happen!!" Nebula raised her voice as well.

"I'll take my chances. Take me to the room and let's get it done. I haven't fulfilled my purpose yet so I can't afford to rest. I'm not done Neb...I'm not done," Pete said.

"You still don't get it Pete, you don't. There's no point in all of this. At the end, you only return as a different person and not the person you once was. It would take you a long time to get to where you want.

And you know time is something you don't have. Besides, I'm shutting it down," Nebula said the last part and turned around to walk away.

"Wait, what?!" ..Pete uttered in a high pitched tone.

"Shutting what down? You can't shut it down!! That's just cruel... You know I need it. It's the only chance I have at a second chance. I need to live, Neb!!" Pete said.

"Err...hello everyone.. miss Nebula goddess lady," Alex chimed in after having watched the two ladies go at it for a while..."What second chance is she on about? Can someone please explain to me?!" Alex asked.

"Oh...why am I not surprised?! She hasn't told you she can, has she?!" Pete asked.

"She "CAN" what? What can she do that I don't know about?!!" Alex inquired.

"Go on Nebula. Tell him the truth. Tell him what you are hiding from him," Pete said.

"What is she saying Nebula?" Alex asked.

"I'm not a she. I'm just trapped in the body of one!!" Pete corrected.

"That doesn't make any sense," Alex retorted but immediately had a thought and corrected himself..

"Oh...you mean you are one of those gay people? That's fine, rock your identity!!" Alex said.

"Oh...the idiocy!!!" Pete facepalmed herself before going further to explain after making a face like she was exhausted of Alex's lack of clue.

"I mean, this is not my real body. My soul is only trapped in here," Pete said.

"What the fuck did you just say?" Alex questioned.
