Harmonia has been taken for testing by Site-74 of the SCP Foundation and is put on a metal table as restraints lock into place with a solid and thunderous click. She struggles, sneering as she looks around.

"I shouldn't have talked."

The guards laugh as they leave, a shutter opening revealing a window with a scientist looking at Harmonia with a smile. He walks into the room, grabbing a needle on his way in.

“What is your opinion on drugs?"

Harmonia stares at the needle, panicking.

"D-don't give me that- get away from me-"

She struggles as much as possible but the metal restraints don't allow for much movement. The scientist smiles and injects the contents into Harmonia.

"NO, GET AWAY!"

She screams, attempting to struggle. The scientist giggles and injects another syringe full of unidentified drugs. Harmonia cries out, panicking as she tears up.

"G-get away-"

The scientist picks up a clipboard and writes something down and injects another syringe. Harmonia starts hyperventilating, closing her eyes and trying to calm down as she begins to feel loopy, and loses feeling in her eyes, her muscles growing weaker by the second.

"H..ng..." She closes and opens her eyes, trying to feel anything but failing. She looks around in confusion. The table flips upright and Harmonia is forced to stare at a mirror. Harmonia closes her eyes in protest.

"N-no..."

“Tell me how is banana pudding on a Tuesday?"

"H-huh..." She looks really out of it.

“Wrong answer" Harmonia feels a shock go through her as strong as a taser. Harmonia screams in pain.

“Again, I ask what is 5+5+12?"

"Five... plus five... plus... twelve?" Harmonia asks, seemingly trying to count.

“Mhm,"

"T-twenty two?" The scientist nods.

"Correct." Another shock goes through Harmonia as she screams in pain.

"BUT I GOT IT RIGHT"

"It's a reward for me.”

"H-huh???" Harmonia asks as she tries to look at him. As she looks at the scientist a smile spreads across his face.

"What's the point of this... Testing?" She asks, trying to stay somewhat grounded.

“It's meant to be a shocking experience."

“You're fucking sick...." Harmonia grumbles.

“You’re right I am a sadist! Bingo bongo right on the shock button!" Harmonia is shocked once more and she screams again, crying now.

"Yeaaaahhh! Tears are my favorite part! Anyways what shock was that?"

"I don't fucking know!" She closes her eyes again, trying to moderate her breathing.

“Mmmm I think it was 3. Now tell me what is 3+1?"

"4"

"4 is my allowed number of shocks." The scientist laughs as another shock courses through Harmonia. She screams again, sweating and crying.

"I want to go home.."

“Do you remember the time Cole punched you in the liver?"

"Y-yes.."

“He doesn't care that he did. In fact, he loves seeing you at that level of pain. He hates you." The scientist says. Harmonia doesn't look at him.

"I know he does..."

“Did you know that Cole would gladly kill you in a heartbeat?"

"Why hasn't he?" Harmonia sounds defeated.

“Because he likes to stay close to you so he can capture you and bring you back here"

"Why would he keep freeing us if he wants us here...."

“It’s fun to him."

Harmonia stares at the floor.

"Right..."

"He gets a rush every time he saves you all and that's the only thing he cares about.” Harmonia doesn’t respond.

“Now that being said, what powers do you have other than hydrokinesis?" Harmonia doesn't respond.

“Hmm, I broke you did I?" Harmonia looks up at him, sneering.

“You wish.”

"You know, tears are conductive.” Another shock courses through Harmonia and she screams once more.

"Answer my question."

“No.”

“Answer it." The scientist's finger hovers over the shock button.

“I can eat souls. That's about it.”

"Hm, that's kinda dumb actually."

“Ok.”

"Ohh I see you want some ketamine~" The scientist grins.

“No. Fuck off.” The scientist grabs a syringe.

"You said ok, not sure what you mean."

“Don't give me fucking ketamine-“ She opens her eyes to glare at him.

"Why not?"

“I don't want it.”

"Then knock the syringe out of my hand.” The scientist smiles and puts the syringe next to Harmonia, making sure the restraint will stop her from hitting it. She desperately tries to knock it out of his hand. The restraint stops her as the scientist giggles watching her struggle as she sobs.

“What's wrong, can't knock it out of my hand?"

“Shut up- shut up-“

"Just knock it out of my hand, how hard is it?"

“SHUT UP-“ She screams and the syringe levitates from his hand before shooting to the ground to try and break itself. A camera clicks to life in a corner of the room as the syringe shatters against the ground.

"There you go how fucking hard was it?"

“Fucking die-“ Harmonia growls.

“Then kill me right now! Go ahead, kill me I dare you.”

“No” She snarls.

"Why not, hmm?"

“You want me to kill you? Yeah?”

"Yeah kill me, fucking do it!” Her tears levitate and in a moment turn into a sharp object, impaling the scientist through the neck. The scientist smiles, gurgling on his own blood and promptly dying. She watches before looking at the camera.

“FUCKING HAPPY NOW? AM I YOUR MONSTER YET?” There's no one to respond so Harmonia just sobs for a while before Spider is led into the observation room. Harmonia looks at Spider, absolutely defeated.

“Are you here to kill me”

"And why would I do that?"

“Why wouldn't you? You've already told me how much you hate me and what a burden I am…”

"Well that's news to me"

“…is this a trick… it must be the drugs…” Harmonia mumbles. “You all told me how much you wanted me gone… “

"Harm I'm real, and I can assure you that no one wants you gone," Harmonia shakes her head.

“N-no- you all spent the night telling me how much you hated me don't do this to me-“

"So you'd rather we all hate you?"

“Y-youll pull me in and make me think you love me then you'll turn on me and break the illusion and I’ll break…”

"That's not gonna happen.” Spider sighs.

“It will… I don't know what's real anymore… isn't it just easier to be alone…”

"No, it's not.” Spider responds.

“But then no one can hurt me and I can't hurt anyone…”

"Yeah and then you go insane from isolation, and no one is going to hurt you.”

“But… I'm so confused…” A guard slams his hand on the shock button and a shock courses through Harmonia. She screams, tearing up again. Spider snarls and decks the guard at full strength. The guard falls over, the helmet taking the brunt of the force. He groans. She kicks him in the ribs, growling. Harmonia’s just sobbing as the guard groans. Spider growls and tries the door to get into the testing chamber but it’s locked. She takes a keycard off the guard and scans it but it doesn’t work. Spider growls and shatters the window, covering Harmonia in glass shards as 3 guards walk in. One of them points a tranquilizer gun at Spider. Harmonia doesn't flinch, staring at the dead body hungrily. Spider ignores the guards and attempts to enter the testing chamber. The guard fires the tranq gun and Spider loses all feeling in their limbs. She falls to the floor, snarling as the guards drag Spider back to their cell. The restraints unlock as the effects of the drugs fade from Harmonia.

Harmonia stares at the dead body and goes to it quickly, too hungry to think about Spider as she brings her hand into his chest, ripping out the scientist's soul. The scientist's chest suddenly caves in, leaving a giant hole as she pulls out the soul, holding a bleeding, beating, pulsating ball of flesh. There is a red light on the inside. Every pulse and beat causes a gush of blood. Her hand is covered in blood. It makes her hungry. Harmonia brings it to her mouth, trying to eat it as she attempts to take a bite.

Chomp. It's flesh. All flesh. Raw, human flesh. Her mouth fills with blood and her face is covered in it. It's tough to hold in her hand. It's squishy. Warm. Living. She feels filled. She feels sick. She needs to eat more.

Harmonia keeps going, her tears seeping into the soul.

Mmmm. Tastes amazing. This man must've been quite the sinner.

The red light goes out as she finally bites into the soul proper. It tastes like the best and worst thing she has ever eaten.

Her stomach growls. She feels the need to vomit. She needs to eat all of it.

Somehow it hasn't stopped bleeding

Harmonia continues, hating it and loving it, conflicting emotions filling her.

Halfway done. The beating stops. The bleeding slows. Her hunger grows, yet her body wants her to stop. Her mouth begins to fill with that black gunk she coughs up. She needs to finish her meal.

She coughs it up but eats it once more, forcing herself to eat it. She has to.

Her body urges her to devour the rest of the soul in one bite. She has to force herself to not spit it back up. Why must her body have such conflicting desires?

Harmonia shoves it in her mouth, holding her hand over it to try and devour it, her eyes glowing bright red.

Swallow it. She has to swallow it. Her body wishes to reject it but her body NEEDS it. She feels as if normal food would never satisfy her after this. What will they think of her, eating a soul? Animals... They're different. They're already dead. But this? This scientist she's looming over? SHE killed him. SHE tore out his soul. SHE ate it. Ravenously. What if they think she's a monster? What if they stay away in fear of having their souls devoured? She thinks back to what Thrall said. He couldn't even do this. Does that make her more of a demon than he is?

...Her head throbs, the start of a burning headache. Her back begins to feel painfully numb, searing with warmth.

Harmonia sobs as she chokes it down, letting out a scream of pure pain and sorrow if she's able to. She's a monster. More of a demon than Thrall. They won't want her.

She swallows it. She can scream, but that would start to let the demonic gunk in her body out freely. Her thoughts start to get a bit.. foggy. Headache worsening every second. There's a massive pressure in her back. Something is trying to get out. It hurts. Very, very much.

All she does, all she can do, is scream in pain. Everything hurts. Tears stream down her face as she screams.

Her flesh begins to tear, pushed up by... something. Something growing. Her back is beginning to bleed.

Harmonia screams and cries as the black gunk flows out of her mouth.

Just a few moments longer...

Aaaannnd...

Massive wings burst out of her back. Black, mainly, but with a red stripe near the ends. They've got flesh and blood on them. The back of her shirt is definitely destroyed.

Happy metamorphosis, you gluttonous butterfly :)
