Omnipotent [Discontinued]

Chapter 4

[Papa Emeritus III]

After having put my little ghoul to sleep I made my way to my new room and sat in the plush velvet love seat to admire the work he had done.
He had done such a good job cleaning up for me. He had placed all my belongings neatly in all the right places.

Omega was the one ghoul I knew the least about and that is why I decided to move in, so to speak, with him. I hope for him to open up to me and trust me at least a little.
I have heard from my other ghouls that he was not always this way.
He had been the last soul transformed by the first Emeritus. I had been told by my brother, Emeritus II, that he had been the rowdiest ghoul being the youngest when he had entered the Clergy. My brother had such a hard time teaching him and disciplining him. However, at some point towards the end, when my brother was close to retiring, I've been told Omega changed.

Apparently Omega became more reserved and preferred solitude over company. He was quiet and became more of a shadow behind everyone, only coming out to his true nature during performances for the Clergy and the public rituals for the masses. He only allowed little Earth near him and into his personal space. Those two became closer as my little Omega drifted away from the rest.

I sighed and let a small smile grace my lips. Second time I referred to him as mine. HA! There was something there, something that beckoned me to him. He seemed so broken but so strong at the same time. He intrigued me I guess. Yes, that is all. I must merely be curious to uncover all his secrets as I had done with all my other little ghouls.

When I stepped up as my brothers predecessor, he became a jittery nervous wreck, despite all my efforts to seem the least intimidating and all the more friendly. I had tried my hardest to win him over like the others but he simply showed me fear so I decided to simply let him be. I wanted to allow him to warm up to me on his own, going to the extent of only communicating with him when he had failed to do a chore or a task the way I had wanted it done and in the amount of time given. I allowed myself to only come into close proximity to him during my performances for the Clergy and coming into physical contact with him during mass rituals since that always proved to be a huge crowd favourite. However all my efforts had seemed to be in vain proven by the fact that my time with them was almost over and he had yet to approach me out of his own will.

Tonight, however, had been different. Omega had somewhat opened up to me and allowed me to intrude his little save-heaven and even gone as far as inviting me to share his bed.

I felt a heat spread through me as I thought of sharing a bed with the little ghoul. Sighing I dismissed it as nothing, it was simply due to me being tired. I took a deep breath as I sat at the edge of my bed. It seemed as if my little one had left his scent all around my new room. A small smile played at my lips, Of course he had left behind a small trail of his scent, after all he had accommodated and cleaned everything in here for me.

A sudden yawn escaped me. I got off the bed and made my way to my closet to retrieve a pair of sweat pants. I pulled them on and decided it was to hot to sleep with a shirt on so i kept my chest bare. I went to my connected restroom and brushed my teeth quickly before turning all my lights off. Once in the dark, I tiredly face planted onto my bed. Another soft smile settled on my face as I felt myself drift to sleep with the picture of my little Omega curled on his bed in my mind.

[Omega]

*Dream*

I was running and crying. The merchant at the apple stand had unleashed his hounds on me once again. I had been so sure that no one had seen me take the two apples. I was so hungry and it had already been 3 days since I had last had anything to eat.
