"Echoes of Absorption: The Haunting Convergence"

Many, many years ago, a curse of unspeakable horror had fallen upon an ordinary man, transforming him into a spectral parasite, a terrifying phantom leech, capable of possessing innocent souls while steadily devouring the very life force that sparked within them. Over the centuries, he traversed from one body to another, yearning for the sweet sustenance of youth and vigor found in human vitality, not by will, but to survive this eternal torment.
Now, he resided in the worn-out body of a single mother, Rebecca, who was near her forties. She had three beautiful children, the anchors that kept her going despite her daily battles with pain and fatigue. For the parasite was there, buried deep within her. A rogue taker nested in Rebecca's bones, siphoning her strength, relentlessly feeding on her life.
Every day, as this spectral leech feasted on her energy, Rebecca's body withered and aged, the light in her once vibrant eyes slowly dimming. One could hardly recognize her anymore—the woman who was once ebullient and bright was now a mere shadow, her vitality drained bit by bit by this invisible terror.
An odd sense of pedantic ennui seemed to usurp the parasite's primitive urge to consume the woman’s vitality. The flourishing exhaustion from the mother's life was slowly becoming both distracting and unpalatable. He yearned for new vitality, a different endowment of youth and vigor to quench his ravenous hunger. And luckily for him, the solution lay under the same roof.
At midnight, cloaked under the inky shroud of darkness, the entity detached itself from Rebecca’s feeble form. She laid there, unmoving, her heavy breaths echoing in the silence. The spectral presence glided across the hallway, its possession-bound eyes set on a single door. It entered without a creak, quietly, like a figure made of smoke. There, in the pale moon’s glow, slept Rebecca's eldest son, sixteen-year-old Jake.
The boy looked peaceful, his youthful zest pulsating around him like an inviting beacon for the parasite. It sunk back into human form, leaning over the unsuspecting, slumbering teenager. Sealing the transfer with a spectral kiss, it commenced the process of infiltration, its essence ready to invade him.
However, Jake did not awaken. He unwittingly became his new host, completely oblivious to the age-old leech that had decided to make his body its new abode. His chest rose and fell in steady rhythm, rhythmic and unchanged, a harbinger of the start of a new cycle. Unaware of the terrifying battle his body was challenged with, the boy had no recognition of the silent intruder who now resided amongst his being. The creature of the night was stealthy, an expert at its game, ushering a new chapter of horrifying adventures.
For the parasite, there was no remorse; merely survival. Only time will reveal how the spectral leech and young Jake's life will intertwine, for as it goes, the darkest hour of the night is just before the dawn.

Prompt: Many years ago, a man turned into a strange parasite capable of taking over people's bodies, while feeding on their vital forces. Now he was in the body of a 40-year-old single mother of three children, every day he devoured her vital reserves more and more and her body became weaker. Finally, he got tired of it and at night he sneaked into the room of her 16-year-old son Jake and leaning against him with his lips began the process of transition into his body. Keep in mind that Jake didn't wake up.
