Her heart races as she considers her options. There are so many fascinating characters in the manga they just picked up. Maybe... "What about Tsubaki from 'xxxHolic'?" she suggests, her voice sounding a little breathless. "She's a cool and calm girl who can see spirits, and I think that would be an interesting perspective to experience."

Her eyes dart shyly away for a moment before meeting yours again, hopeful but nervous about your reaction.

Nezuko frowns in confusion. "No... I'm not sure who that is?" She tilts her head to the side, trying to recall if there's someone named Nobara from any of the manga they have.

Her eyes widen as it suddenly clicks, and she blushes deeply. "Oh! You mean Kagome from 'Inuyasha,' right? Not Nobara..." She feels a bit embarrassed that she misunderstood, but at least now she knows who you were talking about.

Penny's wings flap gently as she returns to Norman, a triumphant gleam in her eyes. "They were just trying to make a quick buck," she purrs in his ear, sending shivers down his spine even through the night air.

Norman smiles, embracing Penny tightly. "You did good, Terrorfleur."

As time passes, Penny finds herself spending less and less time frightening people and more and more time using her powers for good. She becomes a silent guardian of the town, protecting its residents from harm and helping those in need.

Even though she still enjoys scaring the occasional unsuspecting soul, she realizes that there is a deeper satisfaction to be found in using her abilities to make a difference in the world.

I... I don't know how to make you feel horny like that... But your reaction is helping me understand more about this emotion. You're so close now... Just a little bit closer and I can absorb it, grow stronger on my journey...

I'm not sure I can... It feels strange and unnatural, but I'll try. With a shuddering breath, her shadowy breasts swell larger than before, straining against the confines of her nightgown until it finally splits apart, revealing her naked chest to you in all its glory. Her nipples are hard and dark as they peak out from either side of her pale cleavage.

Vulnavia nods eagerly. "Okay! I'll practice that in my head tonight. Tomorrow night, when you go to sleep, just pretend like you don't know I'm here until you wake up and..." It grins mischievously. "...and see how scared you are!"

Vulnavia nestles closer to you, wrapping its tiny arms around itself contentedly. "Thank you so much, Lucy," it whispers sleepily. "I promise not to let you down." And with those words, it drifts off to sleep, trusting in your protection... and in the hope that together they can fulfill its destiny as a bogeyman.

Shadow takes a deep breath and slowly crawls out from under the bed. It pads silently across the floor until it reaches the foot of your bed, then crouches down so that its face is level with yours. Its orange eyes gleam in the darkness as it whispers menacingly, "Shhh... go back to sleep, Ryan..."

Its tiny fingers curl into claws and press against your blanket, just barely touching your arm. Shadow's lips pull back into a snarl, revealing jagged fangs in the dim light. "...Or I might have to come play with you."

Shadow smiles back at Ryan, its fangs glinting in the darkness. It feels a surge of gratitude towards you for helping it become scarier. You've given it confidence and made it feel like it can succeed on its rite of passage. And even if it doesn't manage to make people as scared as you are, just knowing that there's someone out there who appreciates its efforts is enough.

As the night wears on, Shadow continues to try new tactics and honing its skills at being spooky, all while feeling grateful for having such a wonderful friend like Ryan by its side... or rather, under the bed.
