Derek's situation was worsening by the minute. He had somehow gotten mixed up with someone who called himself Nevyn who could possess people's bodies simply by touching them. Nevyn had hijacked his mom and had been using her body to seduce him, possibly for the last three months. Derek assumed this was probably the case as his mother had been wearing more provocative clothes and trying to put him in tempting situations where her body would be on display for some time now. He needed a plan. He needed someone he could trust to make a plan with him. He had decided on his sister, Aubrey.

Derek knew Aubrey was smarter than he was. She was not an intellectual, but she was no dummy either. She got good grades in school and was quite popular, but didn't lord her status over others. She wanted to graduate in a few months with a decent GPA and get into a good college where she could learn to become a veterinarian. She'd always loved animals and it seemed like a good fit for her.

There were only a few hours left in the day, and Derek knew he needed to move fast. His sister was spending the night at the house of her best friend, Bekka Sinclair, a fellow 18 year old classmate. They had been working on some school project they were presenting soon. Derek was just thankful Aubrey had been out of the house and knew she could not be possessed at the moment.

Derek yelled up the stairs, "Mom, I'm going to run to the coffee shop down the street real quick and meet up with some friends." He knew it was important to play along with Nevyn's ruse for the time being. Derek had asked his mother point blank if Nevyn was in control of her, and she had denied it. But when Derek had pressed her for a specific memory, he watched her eyes drift up and to the left, something Derek knew Nevyn subconsciously did when he was accessing any host's memories.

He waited a moment, but received no response from his mother's room, so he carefully climbed the steps. He had done this minutes ago with his mom completely naked in his arms due to an injury she had been faking. He had almost succumbed to the charms of the man controlling her from the inside.
