How the hell can you trust Solace? This offer sounded great, but there was no way you were the first to be given this chance. And that you had it now meant the last person had screwed up. This was a terrible decision. If you accepted the offer surely it would only be a matter of time before things got out of hand, some problem you wouldn't be able to handle or simply any other excuse Solace could think of to end your life.
'Well?' Solace asked impatiently. You snapped back to focus, realizing the leona was still waiting for your response.
'I-I don't know.' You replied. 'She wouldn't be stupid enough to lead you back home, she's probably trying to hide in some other colony, she could be anywhere!'
'Hmm.' Solace frowned. 'That's disappointing. How long would it take you to find her?'
'U-uhh...' How the hell were you supposed to answer that? Your own colony was big enough, if there were others you could be searching for weeks!
'I thought so.' Solace sighed, leaning in closer to you. You tried to back up, but the edge of the bed was behind you. You could fall, but you'd never recover from the drop fast enough to make your escape.
'No no, Solace please!' You dropped to your hands and knees and begged. 'Don't do this, I swear we were just trying to-'
'Save it.' Solace cut you off. 'I've heard all your pathetic mouse excuses before.' You can only manage a whimper and a wide eyed expression of horror as her lips filled your vision before parting and revealing an even more terrifying sight. Her tongue lapped out and slapped against your chest, lifting you and sticking to your fur. She drew you into her mouth and closed her lips around your waist. Drool coated your body and clung to your fur. You felt her teeth resting on your chest and back, and broke into tears as her sadistic moan echoed in her maw around you.
'Ahh!' You screamed as everything suddenly lifted and you realized that Solace had lifted her head. Her mouth opened briefly, flooding the cavernous chamber with light and illuminating the path you were about to take with terrifying clarity. Before you could even react the tongue slipped out underneath you and reeled you inside, slamming your face into the back of her throat and causing it to flex around you tightly.
'Mff.' She moaned again and her tongue raised behind you, sealing your doom with a loud sickening gulp.
'Nnngh! No!' You cried and tried your best to struggle but it was useless. The leona's tight compressing throat muscles forced you down with no resistance, your saliva matted fur sliding easily until you felt the flesh give way. Solace's stomach was a pit of hot slimy juices rippling from the pulsating walls that surrounded you. You tried to stand, but the slick fluids offered almost no grip and you were forced to crawl your way as close to the edge as you could. Every breath filled your mouth with the taste of rancid meat, and your nose with the scent of bile and... something more familiar.
Solace began moving, slowly and steadily but still enough to shake the contents of the stomach around you, splashing caustic fluids on top of you that weighed you down. After a few more moments your eyes finally made sense of what tiny amount of light filtered through her flesh into this organ, and you looked upon a churning pit of dissolving flesh and softened bones.
'Oh god...' You wanted to scream, you wanted to claw your way out of here and run home, to curl up in bed and never venture out into this deathtrap of a place again. Gastric acid mixed with blood and liquefied flesh bubbled and rippled beneath you, around your legs, around your waist and clinging to your body wherever it splashed. This was worse than any nightmare... 'SOLACE PLEASE LET ME OUT!' You slammed your fist into the stomach walls desperately, gasping as the motion caused you to slip and inadvertently inhale a mouthful of the leona's previous meal.
'Hush little micen, calm down.' Solace's voice came from above you with a giggle. 'If I track down your friend, you might still get to kill her yourself. Fingers crossed!'
You thought of how this had all happened. Keirra... It was her fault. If she hadn't... Or if you hadn't... Your head dropped in despair as the thought left your mind. What was the use? You tried to keep yourself at the edge of the digesting pit as much as you were able, all too aware of the faint tingling that had begun to assail your lower half. It wouldn't be long now...
