"Nice to meet you, Alex. Got a spirit?"

"A what?" Alex pretended to be clueless.
Perhaps I could nibble on their noses
Just stop.

"A spirit I have one too,"
Sphyra voice echoed in Alex's head
Hello fellow spirit I'm Sphyra.

Zayne. Can I eat your person's nose?
STOP THAT!!

Nice to meet you Zayne. Um he wouldn't like his nose eaten but there is some perfectly good burn zombie over there.
Chase pointed at the pile of burnt zombies.

I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THESE CRIPSY ZOMBIES!!

Susan flinches, averting her eyes to the ground. She just wanted to crawl into a corner and weep, but knew that it would prove worthless. Her hands clutched the hem of her shirt and Susan bit her lip.
"I'm…Susan. Nice to meet you." Her voice was quiet, but affirmative.

Alex nodded to Susan.
"Nice to meet you too."
I need food Alex.
Just wait, okay?!

my host is not food remember that
"Aw thanks, Sphyra," Chase told her with a smile.

Alex, your stomach is looking very good right now
Just a couple more minutes.

Chase looked at Alex sympathetically.

"Can we…take this inside?" Susan's voice was louder, but just as calm as it had been before. "I don't like the idea of zombies still lurking around."

"ok come on," Chase said leading the group.

Alex followed.

That Alex guy scares me. His spirit is very intense. He could snap any second. Be careful
"Will do Sphyra," Chase told Sphyra in his head.

Chase led the way into the house. He kept a close eye on Alex not trusting him because of his spirit and what Sphyra told him.

Alex, I'm hungry.
Fine, I'll go get you something to eat.

Chase be on high alert, Alex is giving into Zayne's hunger,
Chase nodded and watched Alex really closely

Alex looked to the others.
"I need to go outside for a while."
Why not just eat them?
I already said no!!

Chase nodded at Alex as he walked outside

Here.
Alex held up a burnt zombie arm.
Fine.
Zayne's face overtook Alex's. His face was dark, like shadows swirling around. He swallowed the arm.
Better?
For now.
Alex's face went back to being his own as he went inside.

Chase glanced over at Alex.
I don't trust him
Me neither.
If he does anything to you give me control
I thought we were done with this. You get partial control
Chase walked over to Alex
"What was that about," He asked Alex calmly.

"Zayne is… unusual for a spirit. He has to eat flesh periodically."
More like all the time.
You would too if you had to deal with you all the time.

"Oh, ok, luckily for me Sphyra doesn't eat,"
Well I could if you let me,
You never complain.
I don't NEED to eat,
Exactly.
"Sorry, she can be… Persistent," Chase said with an awkward smile.
