The Box Under The Bed.

The Box Under The Bed. (1)

The days went slowly when you were on duty at the Twinn Continuum. All around Twinns went about their duties and life went very smoothly for everybody that lived there. Harmony, a mission specialist, was on duty that particular day and was now on the telephone to the head of the Continuum.
"Yes boss, I agree that it looks like a phantom Cookie in that picture. I will get my team to investigate, it could be that there is a Cookie somewhere out there who is trying to reach out to us."

"The box under the bed? It's a possibility. I will assemble some specialists and we will investigate. A report? in triplicate? ok, will do. Uhu, uhu, yes, Leah and Rory? But they are so inexperienced. I know, I know. Yes I will keep you posted."
And so, in the light of the evidence of a phantom Twinn which appeared in a photograph, Harmony and her 2 investigators; Rory (with the red hair), and Leah (in the yellow shirt), made their preparations and set out on their mission into the unknown.

Harmony briefed the Twinns, "ok people, focus please. We have no idea what may be lurking underneath this bed, whatever you do don't let it gain control over you. These things could be dangerous."
The 2 juniors were anxious to do a good job too because promotions were due soon and they were hoping to impress the ever critical Harmony. "Do you think they bite?" Rory asked.
"I just hope they don't have one of those horrible creepy things with the claws that clamps onto your face and lays eggs in your tummy." Leah said, recalling a movie she had once seen.
"Brrr, the thought of that happening is enough to make anybody want to go home and knit a scarf."

"Here is the nest, lets get ready for the unexpected." Harmony stressed once again, her heart in her mouth.
"I wish we had Carlisle or one of the crocs with for protection," Rory added.
"I wonder if its too late to run away?" Leah thought to herself, putting on her best brave face.
Gingerly they opened the box......

"The Horror!!!!" Harmony gasped, obviously shocked. "How can anybody get any sleep with all these heads staring up at you??"
"Somebody call headquarters, we need backup! This is so terrible!" Rory exclaimed.
Leah picked up one of the heads, "the poor things, stuck in the darkness like this. Look at this pretty one." As she spoke the eye's of the head blinked and Leah felt her mind suddenly filled with another presence. "It's trying to take over my mind, I must obey, I will obey!!"

The head took control of her vocal chords and pleaded in a sad voice; "please take me away from here, find me a body please, I can't take it anymore, I want to be freeeeeeeeee!!!!!!".
It was too late for anybody to do anything, and poor Leah helplessly held the head in her hands, unable to control her thoughts or actions.
"She is possessed by the head Harmony. What can we do?"
"There is nothing we can do Rory. The head will only free our friend when it has a body and can become part of the family of Twinns. We better see if there isn't a box of bodies under the bed as well."
"Body, body, body." The head intoned through Leah.
"The head looks like a Cookie mold to me." Harmony pointed out.
"Yes, and I think she could make a lovely sister for us all." Rory agreed, "we must start looking immediately for a body. Are you coming Harmony??"
"On my way Rory. Hang in there Leah while we get you to sickbay."
"Be back, be back, be back." The head intoned.
The 2 Twinns were determined that they would do their utmost for her. Their only concern was what would happen if the head took permanent possession of Leah. Leah would exist no longer and in her place would be somebody else who looked like Leah but wasn't her. What a conundrum.
