Showing Her True Feathers

Finally, Elise and I made it to Musikfest. And Lydia was there. WAITING FOR US. She told me that she had heard it from a little birdy. So thus began the various escapades of three proxies.
We kind of wandered around for a little bit, then Lydia's stomach noticeably jolted in the direction of the grilled corn stand. "Not now, please." I heard Lydia mutter to her birds. I sighed and bought her some corn. Then what she did was interesting. We went to a section of Musikfest that no one bothered going to, because there was nothing. She then proceeded to lift up her shirt and revealed a giant hole where her belly should've been. The hole was pitch-black, but I could see some glowing yellow eyes. She then stuck the corn into the hole, and it was eaten, cob and all. Guess that's how they eat sometimes.
Also, Lydia, I know you're going to read this, so I might as well say it. Your voice is very reminiscient of Mrs.Fowl from Jimmy Neutron. I would consider taking classes to make your voice sound less like that. They exist, you know.
Anyways, after that, I bought everyone Corn Dogs (Which aren't cheap there, four bucks a piece) and ending up Lydia's because "The birds don't like hotdogs." They do however, seem to have no problem with human flesh. Fucking weirdos.
Then the train blew through. Musikfest runs right alongside the tracks, and the train came speeding through, and I think it hit a few people. But that wasn't what bothered me.
One of the freight doors opened and out spilled Intrusion bugs everywhere. They started skittering everywhere, and everyone was running and screaming. Elise and I opted out, but Lydia stood there, allowing them to crawl over her, a very fake smile on her face. They may be allies, but I doubt Lydia is a fan of that. Either way, I wasn't too worried about her, cause I knew if any tried to invade her, a raven or pterodactyl or dodo or whatever the fuck she has in there would take care of it. As we got out of there, I saw the guy from Cast In Bronze.
"I knew this day would come..." I heard him mutter, pulling two large cans of Raid out from under his carillon and leaping onto it, spraying death upon the invading bugs.
Looking back, I saw many people being taken over by the bugs, slowly being consuming and possessed. The Plague Doctor, standing back there for no explicable reason other than he enjoys festivals, realizing the Intrusion was trying to invade HIM, snapped open the Godsway and left.
We got out of Musikfest, got in Elise's car, and got out of there.
The saddest part of that is, they won't even shut down Musikfest for this. The authorities'll come in, remove the bodies, ask the man wearing all black with the cans of bug spray to please come down from his carillon, and then re-open it tomorrow. At best, the news will say that there was "an accident involving the train" and probably the conductor and engineer will be fired.
I fucking hate human society. I sometimes wonder if that's why I joined Mistress and decided to stay. I don't want to go back. I don't want to become one of them again. I'd much rather stay the monster I am, with all this blood on my hands, then go back to THAT. Whatever. I'm gonna go snuggle with Elise until I fall asleep.
