I Will Steal Your Soul
Hello.
Not all of you know who I am. Maybe you have seen me before. Maybe not. For those of you who don’t, let me take a minute to tell you a story.
I knew a very sweet girl once. Everything about her was absolutely incredible. She was overflowing with life and light, with a tendency to brighten up any person she walked past. Her eyes were beyond fascinating. Not quite blue, not quite green, with these little gold specs in the middle that could intrigue anyone. Her family was happy and she was doing well, making a life for herself. She worked two jobs, adventuring in ways she never had and living life the way she desired.
There were bumps along the way, as with any journey. Nothing stopped her though. She seemed to go with the wind. One relationship she had crumbled to the ground. It wasn’t an easy split to say the least. She hated him for what he’d done to her. And just when she thought she’d never love or care for someone again, a man walked into her life and changed everything.
Little did she know, he and I had already met.
I controlled him and she had no idea.
Life stopped being effortless for her. Not having a plan was not working in her favor this time. Although she didn’t know me at this point, I was standing in the background scrutinizing her every move, waiting for the day she and I would dance.
She actually hated me for a very long time. She and her boyfriend would fight about me. It just made his bond to me stronger. She would try to get rid of me and do anything in her power to eliminate me completely.
Silly girl, does she not know who I am?
And she didn’t. But I figured her out quick. I saw that light fade. I saw the fighting that occurred because of me and it was slowly tearing her relationship apart. I took a lot of satisfaction in that.
It was I, he desired.
Her eyes got sad and her heart turned cold. She blocked everyone out and turned off every emotion she had. With nothing left except some misplaced faith in a man who was already being controlled, she kept holding on, scared as hell.
It was Halloween of 2014. She was throwing a party with her boyfriend instead of figuring out where they were going to live. They were kicked out of their house. Neither had a job. No money. Nothing. But partying was a way to overlook the fact that her life was falling apart. Except tonight, she couldn’t shake the feeling that she was exasperated with the life she was living. So I cozied up to her and manipulated her into thinking that I was going to be her friend.
I gave her a false sense of motivation and confidence. I promised her that if she hung around me that everything would get better. I convinced her that she shouldn’t worry about anything. I ended up causing her to worry about everything. I wasn’t her friend. Not even close. I’m a snake in the grass. I charm, attack and destroy. Before she could even realize it, I took control of her life. She needed me. All it took was being around me one time and she was hooked.
I owned her.
I robbed her of everything. She stopped eating, she stopped sleeping.
Family? She had none. Motivation? It was all gone. What she thought was her ultimate low before was surpassed by this terrible bottomless pit she couldn’t crawl out of.
People gossip about all the bad that I do, yet many are still intrigued.
Here’s a small warning:
I have the ability to take your family, your friends and your soul. If you continue knowing me, I will take your life. Many of you will come to me in a time of despair and I will leave you feeling worse than you can imagine. But if you’re still intrigued, just give me a try.
One whiff and you’ll be begging me for more.
Not all of you know who I am. Let me formally introduce myself.
My name is Crystal.
