Monsters and Maidens //Chapter Four: What's with this brat?!

 "WHO CUT DOWN MY TREE?! I will make you pay for that! You hear me?!" Osoroth bursting through the door with her body passing through the wood of the door. Moss patches along the floorboards when she walks inside, but later dissolve into the floorboards. "S-sir. I don't know how much longer I can hold it in.." Her toes were curling up as she placed her face further in the blanket.

"He-ey what? Alright, almost done Cherat. Calm down Osoroth, what happened?" Looking at her then to Osoroth. Cherat was under him gripping the bedsheet's with her face hiding in the blanket. Osoroth stares for a moment confused at what she was seeing. "Whatever you're doing it can wait. Who cut down my tree?!"

"BITCH! I'm the one that cut your tiny ass tree!" Jane called out from the living room stomping around flipping her hair to the side. "Besides it was in my way." Osoroth tensed up before turning around running out the door. "You know how long it took me to make that beautiful tree?!"  "Well, you put it in a bad spot. So it's your fault" The door closed behind Osoroth as a fight soon began in the living room. ".. Sorry you've been holding it for a while you can release now."

Cherat's legs buckled under her as she swirled her hips trying to keep her body up. His hands caressed over her back moving along to her sides. Her mouth opened as heavy breaths forced out of her mouth. Her eyes clenching tightly as her hands gripped the bed sheet even tighter, leaning her head down biting into the corner of a pillow. "Th-Thank you, S.AH-Sir. M-more? Please?"

A time and place (wip)

Time seemed to freeze for a moment as a Husky, Tiger and a Clydesdale all sat next to him. "You think she really cared?" The tiger growled, with tears rolling down Husian the husky's face. "No, it wasn't just her mother but her too!" Ludo the tiger continued shaking but held himself back as both his eyes glowed. "Don't tell me you think it wasn't her.. TELL ME, HUH. WHO ELSE WAS IT?! WHO?!" 
(Name) "I know, you don't think I know?! we all knew it was going to happen anyway. But here we went just to see our daughter. We knew the consiquionses, we were going to get in trouble anyway regardless..." Fuego the Clydesdale chimed in. "That's not how you say that word." (Name) huffed, "Shut up, Fuego I know that's not how you say it it's how I say it.. thanks thou, I'll try to say it right the next time." Fuego scoffed, "Ha, maybe don't worry about it. Speaking problems is what we do best." (Name) took a deep breath and it was silent before (name) looked up at the officer as time seemed to continue. "So you couldn't help yourself?" the officer asked. "No, I can handle myself I know when to continue and when to stop.. Can you sir? Once she said stop I stopped." His eyes narrowed before sipping come of the drink given to him. "So you didn't get off and only she did? come on you didn't get off? go another round?" The officer continued giving a crooked smile, with a friendly front. My eyes stared at him, "I don't have to get off, I can get myself off just as good. it's not about getting off if your into it for that then you need to find some help." Hus had spoken up, taken over for a moment before putting the finished cup down onto the table. "So no I did not go for round two.. I left afterwards, I just arrived back to my hotel room and was going to bed. so now it's almost time for me to go to work." Hus staring directly into the officers eyes, "Oh and where do you work at?" the officer reached over grabbing his pen and began to write on the note pad on the table. "Laborer ready." Soon as the name of the business was said the pen was placed back in the officers pocket without writing it down. "Oh, You work there huh?" The officer stared back into Hus's eyes. "Yes, is that a problem? Am I being detained or kept, cause I need to go to work." The officer looked away some and shook his head, "Hold on a minute and we'll see.." The officer left the room, as the door closed time froze. "OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? Hus that was awesome!!" (Name) Jumped into the air as Hus sat in the chair thinking to himself as he took a deep breath, "Urgh why does this always happen to us?!" All shrugged a bit as (name) walked around and stretched a bit. The tiger was angrily pacing the room, as he held his chest some. "Hey.. You okay.. calm down bud you're going to give yourself a heart attack." The tiger snapped around, "And how can you be so calm huh? this is happening to you all as well.. all of us just went through that.. why aren't you angry? why aren't you sad?.. am I the only one that's hurting?" Hus looked down at the cup on the table, frowned as a single tear ran down his face. "If they find out they had a restraining order against us, and now they accuse us of ra-.. rape?.. we'll never see our daughter again.. We knew we all knew something like this was going to happen. but if that's the last time we got to see her.. Then I will make sure that memory never goes away.. even if that one moment we got to see her.. she was walking talking her jibber jabber.. she got so mad to see us go.. she's our baby and will always be. You know as well as the rest of us she will be grown up and told we are evil and never come around us we will just kidnap her and we are bad people.." Tears were rolling down each cheek as Hus was talking, he was trying very hard to hold back his tears. "We all know this Ludo, but we got to keep this memory of our last time seeing our daughter.. we're not good with the memories but we got to try.. please each of us has to keep this in our minds.. One us remember.." Fuego scoffed and sniffled a bit. "Yeah.. easier said than done you know that.. but we will all do our part to remember." They all nodded, drying their eyes and sighed softly. Time was started with a deep breath from Hus as he looked around the room looking at the infamous mirror that was a two way mirror. Thinking of who could be or couldn't be behind the mirror before looking at his empty cup. "Empty." lifting the cup some saying softly to himself. The door opened a moment later, "Alright your free to go." Blinking a bit. "Huh? oh okay." Standing up from the chair and rubbed his back with a pop. "Ow.." The officer began leading the way outside. "Anything I need to do?" Hus asked, "Hm? Nope your free to go we aren't holding you so we are letting you go." Hus raised his brow, "Oh, okay." Walking to a door as the officer opened it up for Hus. "Have a good day." Hus looked at him and smiled softly. "Thank you, you too have a nice day." He said tiredly before walking out the door. It was the side of the police station, looking around remembering where he was. Placing his paws in his pocket and began walking down the street as the officer closed the door and walked away back into the police station. A block away he stretched some with a more tired yawn coming from his mouth. "..No, sir I'm sorry we can't give you a ride back to your home.. it is a inconvenious..." Hus began talking as the others were walking beside him, "That's not how you say it." Hus said to Fuego, "Yeah I know haha maybe I'll say it right next time." Chuckling softly to each other as they were all smiles happy to have not been put into jail or worse. Over joyed that they get another chance to make things right. "So we going to work or sleep?" Stopping for a moment as the body continued, a map popped up below them as they walked around so they all could see. "Hmm.. well we are here so lets go this way?" Ludo gesturing the path, Hus shook his head. "No how about this way it will be a bit longer but we can maybe swing by and change our clothes first." Glancing down at their clothing. "Ah, yeah well while we are their why don't we grab something to eat maybe.. make something in the fridge?" Fuego asked, "Well we only have that cookie batter stuff we were saving to make cookies with for a treat." Ludo nodded some but shrugged his shoulders. "True but we.. need that to last us too." Hus pointed out before they all went silent before nodding looking down some before the map closed and they began walking again heading back to the hotel room. The chill of the morning air blew across their bodies, "Maybe a shower.. I feel disgusting." nodding to himself, as did everyone else resting his right hand upon his stomach as he walked. Heading over the bridge turning to look at the sky changing, bringing a soft smile to his face when a warm beam of light touched his face. "Maybe this was the worse of it.. it can only get better from now on right?" Walking over the bridge as the wood creaked and groaned over the weight. His hand gripping his loose body fat, "Still fat ha.. starving ourselves each day and working hard and we're still a fat mess haha." chuckling a bit to himself trying to smile a bit at the irony. A light chuckle came out, coming over the bridge. Shortly after they arrived at the hotel two older couple with homemade lawn chairs sat out on the balcony. "You're coming home early!.. Or should I say late.." the couple chuckled some. "Oh you know.. wondering around couldn't sleep hah you know being young and wild" He chuckled replying back, as they all laughed a bit. "Oh back when I was your age." the older man started talking before the other giggled. Telling stories of young male roaming of his own before meting the one he was with now. It began a fight with words as they bickered a bit. "Alright heh well you two behave yourselves." almost in unison, "Not if we can help it!" laughing softly before walking into our room. Closing the door as everyone collapses on the beds with a groan. Laying there as they rested their bodies for a moment their eyes still open and looking up at the ceiling. "Well.. Who wants to work today?" Laying quiet before each of them began undressing and taking turns showering. "We all are.. we got to." Hus sighing heavily as he struggled a bit to get up from the bed. "Alright well lets go." collapsing on the floor as he held his chest. "Hus?.. oh hey hey hey." Fuego and ludo hurried over with (name) coming out of the shower. "It's okay.. I'm okay shhh shhhh shh" Hus slowly exhaling to try and stay calm. "Hey Hus come on man." Hus laid there clutching his chest, "we just going to bottle up everything aren't we?" Ludo nodded some, "Yeah.. we can't do anything about it.. it happened and we got to keep surviving.. remember you keep saying its an experience good or bad it happened.. but what we do after is what counts.. stand tall or let it knock you down." Hus interrupted and chuckled weezingly, "Even if you get knocked down, you can always get back up." coughing some and began to chuckle a bit slowly getting up to his feet with the others help. "Come on.. rest you deserve it." Fuego said as Hus laughed softly, "Uh oh got mister muscle worrying about me. hell no I'm not going to let you boys run wild without me.. I can still run with you" Fuego snickered, "We haven't run in ages old man.. we'd probably drop not even a mile haha." laughing some as Hus was being helped into the shower. "You need any help in their old man?" Fuego asked looking at the shower door. "No, thank you. I can still manage. and Thank you for your concern." Hus said while washing himself. Fuego walked away from the door and back in line. "Alright just checking." time went on before all the guys were cleaned and clothing were put on. Looking at the fridge, there was smell of bbq food being cooked coming from the outside. Holding his stomach a bit, before mixing in a small cup what he could find in the fridge stirring it up with a plastic spoon. Adding in a small bit of bbq sauce. "This will have to do for now." each of them had a cup of mix and a spoon. "I know its not much guys.. but its what we have.." Ludo stirring his a bit more as they all stared at their cup, before taking a bit out of it and slowly began eating. "Taste ok.. not the best tasting but we are doing our best." each of them raised their cup and continued eating slowly savoring the taste of each bite. Hus chuckled some. "Some of mine has chunky bits in it." chuckling as they all began to laugh. "Mine does too haha" Chewing and swallowing before shaking a bit getting warm and pumped up for the walk to work. "Alright everyone done? good here we go." Having changed into his work attire and headed out of the hotel room locking and closing the door behind him. Walking past the couple grilling on the balcony, "Hey!" Looking up and smiled. "Hey!" smiling with a wave. "Out all night and leaving so soon? Come on up here we have some some we're going to have a party all day today!" He smiled happily as he waved and nodded. "I would love to but w- I gotta go to work.. someone gotta make that money." They both seemed to awe. "Alright. Honey you come back soon okay? And we'll have some for you." He smiled and waved before jogging down the street. Talking to himself, "If I stay for food.. I won't have any money for rent.. or food. Thank you for the offer but.. I need money for rent." Everyone was whinning about the food slowing down and walking the rest of the way to work. Reaching into the back pocket, looking through the wallet, "I have enough for.." looking hard at the money which was only a few dollars and a couple of cents. ".. we got to get something that will last us through the day or at least.. until we get paid tonight/ tomorrow." (Name) said while looking at the wallet, "Food now or later? drinks now or later?" Everyone seemed to walk around him and continued onto work. "Yeah.. Later will work." (Name) said while walking to catch up with everyone else. it was silent the rest of the way. Arriving at laborer ready, walking inside and signed in at the front desk. There was a bit of a line around the front desk talking about the weather, and the work they were given yesterday. Staying out of the way and grabbing a cup and began pouring himself some coffee and poured in a bit of sugar. Placing the pot back hearing their name being called. It was the head boss a short, stocky middle aged pony with a mouth like a sailor and a humor of a farmer. "Hm? What's up?" He called out, "Got a job for yeah if you take it the others have vehicles and can drive you if you have gas money." A black and brown great dane turned around, looking down at him, "You keep up or get left behind got me?" Looking up at him and nodded, "I can keep up no prob here. Can you?" The great dane smirked, "Alright you can ride with me." We smiled softly as two more had been chosen to go along. The job was a moving a client from one place to another. "Moving job, huh? That's simple enough." Getting the address as everyone headed out. "Hey you can drive, right?" The great dane asked, while walking out to his car. "Drive? Well yeah I got my license. Why need me to drive?" The great dane thought for a moment, "You been in any wrecks?" He asked. as he shook his head. "Alright, show us you can drive this?" The great dane stopped at the passanger side of a car, looking at it almost nervous to get inside. "Drive this?" Asking while opening up the driverside door. "What you don't like it? or can't you drive?" Raising his brow some before slipping into the car looking at everything seemed so new and shinned like it was taken care of almost mint condition. "Oh well yeah I can drive, but You sure you want someone else driving such a fine ride?" Looking at the inside of the car, "Look I'll be real with you I kinda have a thing with my license so.. right now yes, don't fuck up my ride is all I'm saying." Shaking his head, "Oh hell no don't you worry haha I won't I may be rough wit the ladies but I'll be gentle with this one." The great dane burst out laughing holding out his paw, "Call me Dt." Reaching over and shaking his paw before fist bumping. "Alright, Dt call me Ludo" D raised a brow some and made a "psh." sound before handing over the keys. Taking the keys and put them in ignition starting up the car as it roared out the stereo blaring with heavy bass. Dt's hand reached over turning down the volume some, "You listen to rap?" Ludo shrugged his shoulders some, "Yeah some. But whatever has a good beat to it." Dt nodded turning it back up and buckled up as did Ludo. Driving casually out of the driveway and down the highway, Ludo looked over at Dt watching him out the corner of his eye. Noticing he was relaxing over at the door, before glancing at the dashboard before leaning back with a heavy sigh. "I thought you said you knew how to drive." Dt asked, "I don't want to ruin your ride, taking her nice and easy. but if you insist, that your in a hurry glad your buckled." His foot went to the floor and began weaving in and out of traffic leaning his head against his paw taking sharp turns and almost running red lights to get to their destination. Once they arrived at the job site the music was turned off and parked along the sidewalk. He sat up and unbuckled getting out of the car giving Dt back his keys. Dt coming out of his car almost in a rage, "That's how you fucking drive.. You got me, you drive like that shit. dam boy." Looking over at Dt and smiled softly, "I was just being gentle with her." Dt walked around the car with a big grin. "You into those nasty bitches huh? mm You find any you don't want send them my way." His tongue came out a bit with a large smirk across his face. "Ha, I don't think you want what I break." Dt's face light up, "OOoo you something dirty freaky aren't ya.."  Dt's tone came serious for a moment "After this job, I might need your help with some stuff if your interested." Walking with DT towards the house, "Oh yeah?.. Okay." Both of us reached the front door as we both noticed the moving truck. "I guess I'll be driving. where are the other two?" Ludo looked down at his watch. "Well we are here on time.. early by 5 minutes." Dt scoffed, Ludo reached over and began to knock on the door before the garage door began opening up. Both of us leaned over to look, It was a youthful (animal) male in a suit walking out from the garage. "Excuse me, were from Laborer ready.. you cal-" Ludo was interrupted by the (animal). "I have to leave for work, I believe they gave you the address where you will be dropping this truck off. You are getting paid by the hour, and I will not pay for your lunches you do that when the jobs done." The great dane eye twitched a bit as Ludo nodded, "Oh of course sir no need to worry everything will arrive safely you have my word." Standing up straight with a soft smile. The (animal) somewhat smiled but quickly walked away to their car and drove off with the garage wide open. Ludo looked out at the neighborhood, "I guess we'll be doing it ourselves if the other guys don't get here.." Dt grumbled cursing about the way () was talking to us, "Yeah but we won't see him after this job so... why don't we just do this quickly." Dt scoffed and opened up the back of the truck. Ludo grabbed the loading ramps down, "You able to do that yourself?" Ludo looked up at Dt at the back of the truck and laughed. "I got this!" Pulling the ramps out and placing them onto the back of the truck. "Boom see done." Dt shook his head, "Boy you work too hard." Ludo laughed some as they began loading up the truck. Taking everything labeled Dt limped his way to his car grabbing his back brace and placing it on himself. Panting from the heat, "Woo.. boy it's hot." Ludo was carrying items into the back of the truck glancing over at Dt making sure he was alright. "You doing alright over there?" Dt wiping his forehead with a cloth, "Yeah just taking a break.. come on and take a break it's too hot to work without a break." Ludo placed a box down and sat down in the back of the truck wiping his forehead a bit. "Yeah I know.." talking to himself, "Yeah but were almost done." Ludo got back up and walked back into the garage continued to put things in the back of  the truck. "Fuck.. it hot's boy.." Dt took a drink of some water before getting back up and helped with grabbing the large dresser and placing it into the back of the truck finishing the load. Dt, Ludo both push in a ramp and closed the door locking it with the lock they were given to use. "Alright, Ludo meet you there." Ludo nodded to Dt, "Yeah see ya there.. I'll be folllowing you so." Dt shook his head, "Nah I'm get me something to eat real quick do the same Ludo?" Ludo nodded  "Of course hah getting hungry myself." Dt gestured to the truck, "You sure you know how to drive something like this?" Ludo blinked and laughed, "I got this no worries." Dt then nodded, before heading to his car giving a wave before taking off in his car. Taking a deep breath as Ludo climbed into the large truck. "Well.. the dude that had a license for you isn't here.. sooo I'mma have to drive ya." Looking at all the dials and buttons, ".. what the fuck is all this shit?!" Fuego yelled out each of them stared at the buttons and gauges. "Alright well its a automatic so.. we don't have to shift." a heavy sigh came out turning the key and listened to the engine. "Well we got a job to do so lets just go.." Slowly crawling out of the driveway and began driving it slow up hills and down them. "It's.. alright we got this.. just go slow and steady wins the race.." Glancing down as a paw moved around touching the sides of the chair finding buttons and pushing them one by one. "Alright that does that that does that.. okay." Looking at the dashboard and then put the seat in a more comfortable position. Looking out at all the vehicles on the road. "Wow.. this is so cool." Each eye was darting over everything before noticing a small string above the driver seat. "Is that what I think it is..." Everyones eyes began to glow. "A truck horn.." Watching through the windshield keeping a eye on the road and when to turn. "Must resist.. we can't pull it.. can we?" Everyone stayed silent for a moment before everyone began fighting over who was going to pull the string. Everyone was wrestling around each other and pushing each other out of the way to get to the string. A paw came up and grabbed the string and felt how harsh it felt, but held into it gently and tugged on it. There was silence in the air as everyone froze, out came a loud horn rippling the air in waves. Everyone went back to their seats and smiled softly, "Heh.. one more time." Waiting for a while before tugging on it again as it let out a horn. The car beside weaved a bit in its lane, as Fuego looked down at the car. It had a male tiger female jaguar and a child which had stripes and spots, the car had sped up and turned into their lane. Fuegos eyes went wide, as he sat in the drivers seat. Arms came out of the window giving a fist pumping motion looking closer the child crawled into the back window staring as if they were told something was going to happen. Fuego grew a big smile and pulled on the string, the surprise upon the child's face as the two others seemed to smile and laugh at whatever the child had said as it scurried around the back of the car. Laughing softly having both hands on the wheel, "Ha... I guess we just made that kids day." Fuego smiled happily, "Maybe we made all them happy.. they seem to be anyway." Hus said while sitting next to the other door. They all smiled, but Ludo jumped up some and pointed. "LOO-OK!" Fuego narrowed his eyes noticing the car had moved over so they were next to him. The male tiger was fist pumping with the child on their lap frantically doing the same. Fuego stared for a moment and nodded reaching up noticing the male talking to the child and pointing at the string. Tugging on it a few times as the jaw dropped on the child and a large smile grew on them. The male began laughing with a large smile on their face before driving away, Fuego sat there with a large smile standing up a bit straighter and flexing a bit. "This is so cool.." They all smiled driving happily, "We could do this.. ya know.. truck driving.." Fuego said holding onto the wheel, "Hauling stuff unloading and loading.. we'd always have a place to sleep." Hus and Ludo (name) shook their heads, "That costs money to go to one of their schools to learn to drive." (Name) said before smiling, "But maybe we can afford to someday. Maybe we can drive around the world one day.." (Name) looked out the window and leaned his head back on the cushion of the seat. "We can't drive over oceans yet." Hus chuckled some, "Maybe but one day lets travel around the world and drive everywhere." (Name) said while resting in his seat.

Dragon tree Chapter one: Podding me? (Wip)

"Remember this a story."

"Long ago, when dragons roamed from realm to realm through secret methods, migrating from place to place."

"Only places they found worthy would they, stop and rest upon the land. Giving the land they took rest on, amazing gift's for their joy."

"One thing that seemed to always draw them to a place, was a tree. The dragon tree of course is what I'm speaking of, a tree of amazing wonders."

"What makes it draw them in? They only come to life every few hundred decades or so and dragon tree's they say used to be all over the realms as were dragons scattered around living with those that had them. Now, they are in great decline. Almost none."

"What happened to the dragon tree's? If there is still a dragon tree upon this planet. What happened to it?"

 The window fogging up slightly from the steam of a hot brew, pausing for a moment to take a sip from a mug steam slowly coming from the liquid. Letting out a soft sigh from a worn, but hopeful grin looking down at the mug. "I don't know if, I have one myself sadly. Since, I don't own the land nor the home, I reside in."

His attention was turned back to the window a single tree growing in the back yard near the back end of the land, with a mount of grass clippings near the base of the tree. "I don't know what tree it is, and I don't want to know.. but if it grows into a dragon tree and dragons come to see..." Pausing a moment again as he hung his head some looking down at the lowest part of the window frame. "Well not mine.. but to see if the tree is worth coming and taking a rest in the yard, would be fine with me." Chuckling lightly taking another sip from his mug, looking back out the window, "Being careful of the house's of course, I don't want them to get hurt or to hurt the neighbors... but to see dragons resting in your yard, would look amazing, I would think.." Grinning happily at the images of the different kinds of dragons there would be, and where they would find the most fitting for each of them that came. 

"maybe scary.. but still cool no matter what type of dragon it would be.. If this was my land I would make sure they had a safe place to rest." Glancing at you and smiled softly. "I know childish but.. it is still a cool though. Although I would hope they were nice dragons that wont eat me or hurt the house but just to chill with them. Even for a few moments before they would disappear where ever they may go. Would be amazing to me." Lifting my drink up to my lips sipping slowly while looking out at the backyard. Looking around gesturing to the outside near the side of the property line, "Like a sea dragon could lay right there it is usually muddy so it could be like a water, earth bed. A type of place for it.. and maybe a fire dragon could coil up around the burn barrels for warmth." Glancing out another window in the wide room. "and maybe a bit of a snack for it having ash and maybe when I burn they would want to help with making it fire up." Smiling as he turned his attention back to the backyard  gesturing to more and more spots, each dragon could be on or around. "But at the end of it all it's up to them." Sighing some, "Although if I get some toxic dragons or parasitic dragons, I might have to get some special equipment to make sure they are resting safely. and everyone would be safe." Smiling happily with a chuckle drawing a long sigh, "But hey that just means my dragon tree was so good it made them notice it and so I call it a special 5 star dragon tree with rare and awesome dragons." laughing some at the thought, "But I'm sure the shrine would like to have more gods and goddess's demons devils spirits and all other being of the supernatural visiting it." Lifting his mug up and pointed over to the mount of grass clippings and branches. A bit of a compost pile mixed in with the grass clippings. "It's been here before I got here, so I like to think of it as a shrine the best shrine amongst shrines. Of course it isn't fancy and it doesn't really resemble a shrine, but I like to think that a shrine is a shrine no matter what it looks like. I'm the keeper of this shrine, but I guess all shrines have a meaning to them and to whatever deity and such those keep it worship. I don't have any specific deity so I guess my shrine is where any and all are welcome. I only have a few rules. No fighting in this house or on this land you want to fight you do it away from here where you don't break anything. If two deities have beef here is safe ground for them to be neutral. No matter who you are, or what you are. Your welcome to my shrine.. of course I'm not immortal and I can not make anything or anyone do anything. I am mortal and these are my rules, when I pass to where ever I may be taken to. Everyone can continue to come and enjoy themselves in this safe place for all. All I ask is to, please behave and relax. This is a place of being safe and relaxation, if your relaxation is to destroy something you may do so, but I would kindly ask for it to be repaired if you do the damage. I will do, what I can for the shrine and dragon tree, I am not good at taking care of others. I seem to always do something wrong, but I will do what I can." Pausing for a moment in thought thinking of all the deities and other worldly beings he knew of, "Beings like medusa, they would be safe here.. Ya know? Even if she turned me to stone hah. long as she was happy and comfortable. Knowing she was safe here that would be enough for me.. haha long as she doesn't kill me, I think we would be good too" Laughing a bit, taking a sip from his drink and a heavy sigh came from his throat. "You know I had a dream I found a dragon egg over there between the shrine and the dragon tree." Chuckled softly with a small smile, "It of course looked different than it does now, it was while they were passing over us migrating. One of their eggs had fallen and landed in the cushion of the shrine." Chuckled softly and smiled. "Of course I didn't notice until a while after I felt the thud.. haha.. I walked outside and just so happened to go out to the back yard and there it was the shrine looked like it was blanketing it." Leaning to one side against the window frame looking at the shrine, "It was a beautiful egg, and I don't say that word much and when I do say it I mean it. It looked like something out of a dream." chuckled to himself as it was a dream, "Even if it was a dream.. it had markings and writing all over it, which was cool but the markings kept moving around although the egg stayed still under the grass clippings, compost. Of course this is where my dream went sideways as it went multiple ways... but each one I'd do again haha." chuckling a bit with a soft smile, before looking down at the drink in his mug was gone. "Ahe.. Looks like I'm out. Oh well." Looking back at the tree and shrine holding his mug with both his hands, "I know my offerings aren't plentiful. I can only give grass clippings and compost. I don't really have much else to give, besides who made the rules it had to be this or that?" Looking back down at his mug noticing the small drop sized liquid in his mug still. "It's my shrine I'll offer what I want.. but I'm sure it would love to have fresh everything, and taken care of or build into a large building and be fancy.." "I just can't do that for the shrine or the dragon tree, but then again it's not mine so.. well right now, maybe one day I'll make something of the shrine and build it into a better shrine haha.." Heavily sighing loosening his grip on his mug, "or maybe just build a shed out there so, I can smoke some weed with the gods and goddess too. If they smoke as well, if not that's fine at the shrine we can do smoking and non smoking haha." Leaning his head against the window, "Ladies of the Galaxy, goddess's of all things no matter your species type or build.. please don't fall for me.." laughed a bit, "Like they would.." Rolling his eyes at himself, "Anyway all beings are safe here.. although any snake or spider deities male or female please announce your presence to me so I will not attack you." shuttered some. "I just..." holds breath some and gestures all around. "I would need time to compose myself to both greet and see what it would be you wished of me. If it were just to tell me that you will be at the shrine for how ever many days etc.. or in the house.. please give ahead notice if you plan on being in the house. So I will not attack.." Taking a deep breath for a moment, "But otherwise I would hope and wish everyone got to enjoy their stay. Oh I guess that would have to be a rule too huh? If I need to go to work, please do not harm my truck. I need that to keep working to stay here in this home." Looking at the window frame before turning around full, a small empty room with a few foldable chairs and a small toolbox next to one that was unfolded. "It's also my home, out of curtesy I would not go around your homes and trash the place or break anything. Although I am clumsy sometimes so, my apologies if I do break anything in anyone else's homes." Walking away from the window. down the hallway out of the room. The walls were bare with few posters and pictures hanging from them. Into the living room a incense burning as the smoke slowly swirled up into the air. "I don't think me, the tree or shrine is worthy yet, but maybe one day we will be. I'm not sure when the last dragon tree was grown here on this planet, but I'm sure even if one did grow they wouldn't come here.. With all the destruction and fighting it seemed to bring.. Why are we always fighting everything? Goblins, ghouls, ghosts, banshee's, vampires, werewolves, gods goddess's, devils, demons, etc.. All are welcome here, I don't see in black and white, I guess. black people white people I don't care, everyone's a person and everyone has choices either be good or be bad, do good or do bad, men, women other it doesn't matter to me. Long as your good to me. I'll be good to you, plain and simple. Yes, there have been those that have wronged me and I am still good to them.. It's my choice to be good to them, could I be mean or bad to them." Walking past the incense burner and waved his fingers around the smoke, making it dance around each of his fingers before moving his hand away. "Yes.. I could, some say I should but I don't want to." Moving away from the incense burner and into the kitchen. "It's that simple. But when that straw breaks the back that carries the world on it's shoulders. Heavens will shake, and Hells will tremble when that happens. Nobody.. will be safe then.." Walking to the counter with mug in hand, placed it near the coffee maker, waiting for the next pot of tea to get done brewing. Watching as it bubbled, "Finding peace somewhere called home is an amazing thing and I know too many people who take that for granted.. How I wish I could build my home and call it my own. renting is good and all but to be able to say. Hey I got this.. this is mine.." smiled happily, "Would be amazing.. I cried a full week when I got this house and said.. 'I'm home' for the first time and it felt like home.. someplace I belonged.. my own place to be at peace and I wouldn't have to worry about where I was going to sleep or where I could go store food.. ha here I do it here and its not fully mine but I get to stay here. So I want everyone that's a fairytale creature or mythical beings, gods & goddesses, demons & demonesses any and all being or not that this is my safe place, and I am offering it to them as well if they so wished to join me. Its not much and I am not rich by any means and I can't really do anything for them, but its a safe place to rest and hide out if they wanted to. just don't destroy my home please. also please reframe from trying to turn me into one of the undead or whatever. I rather not .. at this time. Thank you." Smiled some as his head hung low touching the counter slowly feeling the soft and hard surfaces. "Sounds a bit. Crazy. huh? Not to me thou. If by chance a supernatural being came here for a safe place. I highly doubt my rules would mean anything to them. They would still be welcome to stay for a time before leaving. with myself and whoever may live with me at the time still alive and well."

The pot of tea steamed up, as he looked down and watched it bubble. A small pipe carried water from one end to the other in small squirts. Damping the ground up and packaged herbs slowly overflowing into the pot, mug at the same time. Once the mug was full the coffeemaker turned off, leaving the pot full of tea. "Coffeemakermon used tea attack, it's super effective." He said with a chuckle, placing a small spoon of sugar and stirred it into the tea. "I say dragon tree, it has a name.. But I can't say it properly so I will not butcher it out of respect of those that gave it such a name." Lifting up the mug taking a sip. "Hmm.. that's good stuff alright heh.. best I can do." Stepping away from the counter and held onto his stomach with a grunt. "Uh.. okay ow.. okay, you're okay." placing the mug back on the counter quickly. Breathing slowly holding his stomach, "You're okay.. you're okay.." Softly saying out loud to himself before taking a deep breath, standing back up slowly. "Okay.. see you're okay.." Shaking his arms some, "alright.." before taking the mug into his hand once again with a soft breath. Sipping the tea leaning his nose over the mug to smell the aroma of the tea. "Hmm.. I might get this again." Sipping some more of the tea before putting it down on the counter. Grabbing the broom and started sweeping, each room, sweeping up the dirt and dust into a spot in front of the walkway to the side door. Only taking a break to take a drink from the mug. "Almost.. done.." He said each time taking a breath before going back to cleaning the house. Kitchen, living room, then the bathroom lastly both of the bedrooms. Leaving his bedroom last as the other room was right next door. The room had a good view of the shrine, tree. . Sitting down in his folding chair, looking out the window up at the stars in the sky. "I guess the day goes by being a busy bee.. ha." sighed softly while staring up at the moon. "Oh sweetie your looking lovely tonight." Scooting his chair up a bit to the window. "I know others say it, but you are always so beautiful. No matter what you will always shine the brightest." Softly smiled leaning back in his chair before falling asleep

Only jolting awake looking around as he quickly grabbed ahold of his chair. "Oh.. I'm home, I'm home it's okay." Looking up seeing the moon had past a distance from the position he last seen it. "I guess, its late huh.. Well I'm going to head to bed now.. sweet dreams, be safe moon sweetie, Shrine and dragon tree.. Sweet dreams and stay safe, your keeper is going to lay down." Standing up from the chair taking a few steps from the chair, stumbled a bit to his bedroom. Taking a few steps into his room, closing the door behind him, stumbling over falling to the floor. Landing against a mattress laying upon the ground under him. The mattress was a queen size memory foam air mattress. A side of it held a imprint of a body.  "They'll be here tomorrow." He groaned to himself, his body laying limp in the bed before passing out from exhaustion. The loud ringing of an alarm echoed through the room. Reaching over and calmly dismissed the alarm sitting up from the bed now laying upside down wrapped up in the blanket. Sitting up his head popped out from wrapped around the bed covers. "That's what happens when you dream you're a goffer." Tossing his bed covers off of him, before standing up still wearing the clothing he had on the previous day. Dusting off his hoodie with a tye-dye touching all around the hoodie, slipping on a baggy pair of swimming trunks adjusting himself a bit before walking out of his room. Slipping on his slippers along the way, from the bedroom to the hallway. "Got an hour or so before they get here I suppose I should get something to eat and drink for breakfast." His ear twitched a bit hearing a car door close, his body froze for a moment listening around as he could hear the footsteps walking along the property. His eye opened up wide, 'You're not suppose to be here yet.' His eyebrow raised some walking over to the side door, following their footsteps with his eyes. A knock at the door as he was soon in front of the door opening it up. "Yeah?" He asked as three teens with an adult jumped back against the truck in the carport. "Oh jes- we're here to start setting up for the interview." He nodded, "Alright well we will be having it in the backyard." Leaning against the frame some looking down at them at the bottom of the stairs. "Oh, Uh well we were informed it would-" "It will be taking outside, it is a nice day so why not." "Well we can't-" "Yes you can, cause its happening out back. If not then looks like my day opened up to relax." Waiting for a moment looking at them all looking at each other confused as to what to do. "I'd probably reschedule then, and get in touch with your supervisor's or someone whose in charge.. tell them the news and then communicate them them." The cameraman groaned looking at the others, "I don't have their numbers." One of the old females, "It's just outside what's the big deal? outsides fine." She said looking around at the others. "Right?" The group mumbled some, turned around to the vehicle and began taking out their equipment for outdoor interviews.

("You don't choose a dragon tree it chooses who what when where how. One tree can bloom from the second year, it's rare to find/grow a dragon tree that only blooms when a dragon is nearby. A dragon tree's trunk is hardened through surviving the environment it grows in. The bark if taken off will grow back within a few days, it's bark is durable and flexible. The lifespan of a dragon tree depends on the environment some live from two to one hundred plus years. A relative of the dragon tree is the Cinnamomic Camphor tree outstretching its branched protecting the area under it. One seed from a tree can, but rare sprout more than four tree's. Although each seed has a possibility of becoming a dragon tree. (There is no guarantee.) The seeds come from small pods along the top of the tree. A single pod holds up to three seeds, each seed is coated in a gel-like substance. Which once the pod is read it can either (Fall to the ground digging itself up to five foot into the ground) or the pod launches the seeds up into the air sending them miles away. The gel like substance is thick, hard like armor with nutrients that it needs to grow. A pod can produce seeds every three years the pods that fall from the tree are done producing seeds as they fall with the last seeds it has. As long as the tree is healthy, pods will continue to grown back within a year of the last pod that fall from the tree. Some trees have fruit that grows along each branch the fruit comes in three different colors each having its own taste. The fruit is harmless to consume but has a lot of perks consuming one fruit once a week.")

(End)

Gripping the back of the foldable chair and picked it up, folding in on itself as it was being lifted. Pulling it over his shoulder before turning around and headed back outside to see the fireworks.  Noticing the time as the fireworks could still be heard all around, "Got a few before the big stuff begins." Exiting the house from the side door, then headed to the middle of the backyard. Looking around looking at the tree and shrine. "Imma sit right here and watch the fireworks with ya." He said softly before unfolding the chair putting his drink in the cup holder. Stepping in front of the chair before sitting down slowly. Leaning his head back slightly, while looking at the full moon. A soft smile comes across his face, "Well hello, up there beautiful. it's good to see you again sorry I haven't been around much work has been keeping me busy." Staring up at the moon and frowned, "No.. just couldn't bring myself to come out here and look at you like a nightly reward from all the day brings." leaning his head back letting the back of the chair hold his neck. A few fireworks began going off in the distance, some getting high up into the sky. Glancing at the sudden lights and colors, "... Would you like to watch the fireworks with me?" Asking the moon, then looked to his side. Staring at the tree as the branches and leaves lite up from the moonlight. "..." His jaw dropping a bit as a smile crossed his face as his eyes began to water. "Dragon tree..." The wind blew the branches on it tussling the leaves, as the edged of the leaves glowed. Each branch looked as if it were a dragon roaring out in the fireworks display in the sky with the moons light shinning down on the tree. "Dragon tree.. You are so beautiful.." Tears were slowly dripping from his eyes as he sat up. "It.. dragon tree.." almost in disbelief with a large smile on his face he began dancing around. "OOOooo come on.. Yes yeah got a dragon tree hell ya.." Looking away for a moment while dancing around in a circle before looking back at the tree as it wasn't glowing anymore. ",,no.. I.. did I do something wrong?" Stopping himself from dancing before as he rubbed his face some. "..Was just seeing things again..." His smile disappeared quickly before sitting back down in his chair. Looking back up at the moon, "Sorry.. I got excited, thank you though for the little bit of happiness." smiled softly, looking back over at the tree waving softly in the wind. "That was really cool though." Leaning back in the seat having his head rest on the back of the chair. Noticing the fireworks had slowly began to stop.

"I guess, its over." His eyes closed, still wet with the happy tears a single sad tear fell rolling down his cheek. Rolling down his beard weaving in and out of his beard hair only to land atop of his shirt.

Monsters and Maidens //Chapter Five:

Lifting his arm up to touch his chest making sure not to wake anyone. His fist clenched his chest as he could feel the pain rushing and pounding in his chest. Clenching his teeth, taking slow deep breaths glancing over as Lilian was still asleep. Listening to the house as it sounded quiet another alarm called out, quickly hitting snooze. Taking one more deep breath as he shifted in bed to his side, as Rain's body was soon pressed up against his back holding onto him. Her hair over one of her eyes as she was waking up. "Are you okay?" A soft voice came from behind him. "I'll be fine." he replied quietly as he laid on his side, slowly getting out of bed as the alarm was soon sounding out once more. "You sure, you're okay?" She asked as he hit snooze again, getting up to his feet and stood in the middle of the bedroom. Putting on his clothes, "I'll be fine."  He said getting ready for work while stumbling around. Every so often his speech was mumbled and slower than normal. "I can't miss any more work." 'I can't miss work.. We need the money.'

Walking out of the bedroom heading towards the bathroom. The rest of the girls were waking up and conversing with each other in the living room. A few of the girls had noticed him, "Good morning, have a good day at work." He smiled weakly waving at them, before entering into the bathroom as one of the girls followed in behind him. "Hm?" He glanced behind him seeing Sarah holding a erasable board. "Did you need something Sarah?" He asked, Sarah shook her head and scooted past him to the toilet. "Ah, okay I'll only be in here for a minute." He said at the sink making himself ready for work. A erasable board was placed on the counter with writing on it. Glancing down at the board, 'Are you okay?' was written close together. "Yes, I'll be fine." He smiled weakly before feeling more pain in his chest.

'You sure?' He nodded after reading what she wrote, "Yes, I'll be fine. I just need to take my medicine. I'll be fine." Walking out of the bathroom heading to the kitchen as his work bag was laying on the counter. Reaching inside taking out a small container holding it in his paw for a moment, 'Take one lay down and relax.. five to ten minutes. not better go to hospital. I hate the hospital, come on.. We got to do this.' Opening up the container and looked inside some of the pills had been crushed as others were missing small pieces from them. 'Well that's not good.. Oh well.' reaching inside taking out a tiny pill that was almost fully intact. Placing it under his tongue before closing the container and placed it back into his bag as the pill fizzled under his tongue.

Walking back to the living room as he sat down in his chair and reclined back grabbing his phone from his pocket and calling his work. 'I hate calling in.. Why now? We need the money dammit.. but if we do go to the hospital. Maybe work will forgive us and not put this down as a call in. stupid of course they will its a business a company. There is no heart in a company they only want to make money.' sighing softly before breathing slowly. "I'm calling work.. So please, keep it down." There was silence after he spoke, glancing around at the girls covering their mouths as he rolled his eyes. "Smart asses." His call was answered, "HR, What can I do for you?"

A females voice came from the other side of the phone, which some of the girls scooted closer to listen in. 'Hey, this is employee number 21B. I might need to call in today, I'm currently having a heart attack. I just took my medicine so I'll have to wait till it works to know if I need to go to the hospital or not.' Was what he wanted to say, but what came out was. "Employee 21B.. calling in today.. I'm having heart attack." His words were long winded, having a hard time making the words come out right. There was silence in the living room and on the phone. "Hello? This is.. Employee" He was interrupted by the female voice on the other side. "What?.. WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME?! Call an ambulance!" Pulling the phone from his ear for a moment from the yelling, "I'm suppose to call anyway.." 

"That's-that's... True, thank you for calling. Do you need me to call an ambulance? Is there anyone you want me to call?" Her voice was caught off guard and a bit nervous. "No, I took my medicine. If it doesn't work. I'll go to the hospital." His speech wasn't improving as he was taking his time to remember how to pronounce the words correctly. 'Am I having a stroke too? dammit! speak! we know how!' Thinking to himself listening to HR. "...Alright, take it easy, when you get off the phone focus on breathing.. You took your medicine, okay. Rest, relaxing and call me back before office hours close. so I know if you're coming in or not." Leaning back and resting his head on the cushion of the chair. "Will do.. Focusing wall painting" Taking his phone from his ear and looked at the time office hours was going to be ending in a hour. 'If I leave soon I can still make it into work and not get a strike against me.' "Okay, hanging up bye." He added reaching up and rubbing his chest slowly to try an focus on breathing "Bye. I hope you feel better." Ending the call and placed his phone on the arm of the chair.

The girls in the living room were all staring and surrounding his chair. Staring at them all, "What?" Parts of his body began to tingle, feeling numb. "I took my medicine, I'll be fine, girls.." He stared at them some had tears in their eyes and had to leave the room. He turned his focus on a painting on the wall as the girls stayed nearby every so often glancing at him, his phone to check the time. 'That should be enough time..' It had been twenty minutes, moving his fingers around closing his paw into a fist then back stretched out, slightly wiggling his toes to get his blood pumping. The numbness had died down and the chest pains were almost gone. 'If we leave now we can still make it in besides the chest pain is about gone.' Lifting his phone up and calling his work once more. It was answered quickly, "HR, What can I for you?" 

"Hey this is employee number 21B, I'll be able to make it into work today." "Oh hey.. You sure? You don't need to go to the hospital?" "I'm sure" "Alright well see you at work then. take your time." "Will do."

Moving his arm around a bit before sitting up, taking a deep breath. Standing up for a moment moving his arms to his side. "I'll be fine, just one more day. It'll be a day off." 

Monsters and Maidens //Chapter three: Battery's are included

 Tigers eyes were staring blankly as he wrapped his arms around her slowly picking her up as her body was laying limp in his arms. "I got you Tiger.. don't worry, I'll fix you up." Pausing for a moment "Somehow.." Lifting her body up closer to him as her wires dangled against his fur, and her gears pinched against his scales. Pulling her from the closet she was in, and placed her in the middle of the room of the living room. Panting a bit and placed her down on her feet once more. "OO.. sweetie your a bit on the heavy side.. but that's alright." Rubbing his lower back, Jane holding Tigers bag having a recharge box and a console for electrical maintenance. He looked inside, "Ah, there it is.. Tiger, I don't know if you can hear me but excuse us while we look around and see what we can help you with,.. so if we accidently touch you in a wrong way. We ap-pologize in advance if any place you don't want us touching.. but we will need to find your charging port and.. Do some maintenance on you, you look a bit sickly.." He looked down at her and frowned slightly, his paws reached out and began looking around her head. Feeling around to see if he could feel a port that was perhaps somewhere hidden.

All the girls had been looking all around Tiger, confused about where the port would be. He was the only one touching Tiger at a point, touching along Tigers stomach area trying to find a latch. His eyes looking away, as a few of his fingers had grazed over tigers chest. His paws quickly moved away from the area, then moved towards her back. His eyes, widened feeling a spot upon her back feeling like a latch, gently fiddling with it with his fingers. "I think I found it.." With a soft snap and click, a small door opened in her back, with a outlet and a connector to be placed inside. "Heh.. well looks like we are about to get you all fixed up.." He said taking the cords and connected them inside the ports. Holding onto the console as it was connecting to the charge box and checking the programing. showing the last time charged in the corner of the small screen on the console. The box was set to the very lowest programing than recommended for her model.

Looking at the screen and began to look through instructions into how to maintain her model. "Oh.. there is a upgrade model available.." Looking at Tiger, "Well.. I guess that would be up to her. If she got the upgrade.. do you think it will still be her?" Asking the girls while they began to all talk about it, "I.. I know girls... girls... girls" Some of them were arguing about trading her in. "It will be up to her so.. Let's just give her some time to charge up and we can ask." Looking back at the screen and began inputting the charging sequence. Tigers wires sparked a bit for a second then stopped, making the front of her body shake for a moment before freezing in place. The box began vibrating as the console started at 3% blinking, placing the console against her back in a small tray for it to be placed with the charge box.

"Now we wait.." He said, everyone making Tiger some room to be safe and for themselves to be safe with some of her sparking wires that went off every so often. He looked over at Jane, "So.. How long does it usually take for her to be charged?" Jane smiled softly, "No Idea.." Sighing heavily before hanging his head a bit, "Oh.. well at least she is safe now.." Tigers head shifted to one side then the other for a short moment. "..Tiger? Can you hear us?" Tigers ears twitched and flicked a bit before head body shifted some lifting her head. Turning her body around to face him looking up glitching a bit as her arms jerked to the side. "I-i-i-i-i C-can HEar you-ou-ou." She spoke in a broken feminine voice, 

"Alright good, how long before your fully charged? Also, why did you hide yourself? We have been worried and looking for you.. Please tell us you are okay or need anything.." Looking into the robotic eyes staring back at him. "Ye-yeah as-hahs..calculating" Placing her paws out in front of herself clenching some and began slowly rotating her paws around. ".. Nine hours for full charge, software updates 5 days with good connection." Standing back up straight as her head shifted to the side. "I am in need of repair.. In multiple area's need maintena-" She seemed to freeze for a moment, as her jaw dropped a bit looking off in front of her. 

Blinked a bit. "Ah.." Rain looked over at the screen. "Uh, I think the charge box is out of juice.." Groaning some as he slouched over as he walked behind Tiger. Looked at the screen as it was blank as nothing was turning on from her whole frame. Taking a deep breath with a groan opening up the charge box noticing that it could be attached to a external plug, as the model of the charge box was just as old as the model she was. "Oh sweetie this is all? You need some work." Plugging the charge box in, then unplugging Tiger from the charge box but leaving it connected to the console. As soon as it was connected to the outlet, a small charging light turned on.

"Alright lets update, and charge up this first." Looking back at the screen as data input was shown. Using the screen on the charging box to input data. It wasn't long before the wifi connected to the modem of the house, soon multiple tabs began appearing one the Screen on Tigers back. "This should help, I hope this helps." Tapping the screen and inputting more data into the charging box. After entering all the data he could. Looking up at the screen on Tigers back for a moment reading all the tabs. He took the charging box, placed it down letting it charge and update. a small game popped up on the screen 'If you wished to play while waiting.' Raising a brow at the charge box. "A game in this?.. Alright.. Welp here someone play this and everyone plays trade off if you want but we all have to play." Little one's ears perked up as she bounced over. "Game?!" She said excitedly before he was able to explain she was already playing. "Uh oh, um you got?" He looked down seeing she was focused and quickly leveling up in the game. "Good girl.. there you go you got it.. get a whole bunch."

Each time a certain amount of levels were completed within a certain time limit, a item was gained in a small inventory box icon in the corner of the screen. Every few levels it got harder and harder to win, a list of top scorers was being recorded on the hard drive. Little ones eyes seemed to be glued onto the screen. "Well alrighty than, Lillion.. Remember to take breaks from the game, and let others play too... haha" Smiled softly as Lillion nodded playing the game. "Yes, get all the stuff's for Tiger's-sss." He sighed softly placing his paw upon Lillions head rubbed her head lightly, 'Glad to see everyone, it seems everything is doing alright today and Tiger would at least get a software update, hopefully charged soon.' Looking around at the girls they all seemed to be excited and impatient a bit wanting Tiger to be alright quickly. Walking out of the living room, to get something to drink having taken Tiger from the coat closet and into the middle of the living room. The charge box was up to 20% flashing red numbers on top of the box, when he checked it passing by.

 In the kitchen getting something to drink, he held his glass of water in his paws and thought about what Tiger was like, it wasn't long before a squeal came from the living room. Leaning over some to peek inside of the living room from the kitchen, "What's going on? Everyone alright?" He stared at the girls were all staying close to Tiger, examining and staring at her curiously. "Heh." He smiled softly seeing them checking her out. Another squeal came this time with more of the girls talking at once he raised his brow, walking around the corner into the living room. Looking at all the girls now surrounding Lillion, "Hmm.. What's going on?" he asked while standing behind one of them. Lydia called out, "The more levels we get done the faster it charges, and updates." Rain and Jane seemed to look excited as the other girls were more eager to play the game as Lillion was clinging to the game.

His eyes went wide, "Really? Alright, let me see." Gently making his way through the girls. "Excuse me girls.. Excuse me." He was soon in front of Lillion looking down at the game as she was playing it. "Oh.. hm." Turning his attention to the charge box 80% solid red numbers lit up on the screen showing the percentage on the software updates. Solid green numbers lit up on the screen under the updates showing how much it was at 90%. seeing it was almost done. "Hm. That is interesting way of making the time fly by and getting what you need faster." He reached out rubbing Lillion's head some smiling softly, "Good job Lillion." The girls seemed to be staring at Lillion, Jane stepping closer. "I figured out that doing more levels makes the charge and updates go faster." She was leaning her head against his side, looked up at him with a soft smile.

He looked down at Jane, "Oh? well thank you, for figuring it out." He said while rubbing Janes head softly as well. Her head leaned into his hand and smiled softly to him, but glanced to the rest of the girls grinning wickedly. "So when both are at hundred percent then we will hook back up to Tiger and we will see how well it does." He walked out of the living room and returned to the kitchen to finish his drink, and relax a bit. "At least they are all excited and enjoying themselves." Talking out loud Looking at his drink on the counter picking it up in his paws. 'Well I guess we will find out sooner than later.. I hope she doesn't think we ... or I dislike her in any way..' He would stare off while leaning against the counter, as Autumn came sliding into the kitchen soon scurrying around upon the hardwood floor, slowly slide up beside him. 'Uh oh trouble..' "Hello Autumn, coming to get your chocolate?" He asked as her face lit up, "OH! yes.. Of course." She would slowly lean over slightly brushing her chest, against him with her face soon turning towards him and smiled softly. "I like all the chocolate you have."

Her fingers touching along his arm, while reaching into the cabinet behind him. "Mhm.." Sipping some of his drink, before leaning over slightly as Autumn fell  against him stumbling only to be in his arm. Reaching his arm out quickly and grabbed ahold of Autumn holding her with one arm against him. "Mmmmmhhmmmm looking for chocolate huh?" He chuckled helping her get back to her feet, as she stared into his eyes some. "I-" She said softly before being interrupted by Lillion screaming in the living room as everyone else began screaming. He quickly looked towards the living room before quickly placing the drink down rushing around Autumn. "Excuse me.. Autumn one moment." He said running into the living room he was running through what it could be to have them all screaming like that. Running around the corner only to see, Tiger was sparking and making small burn spots every so often from her frame. "Don't touch her!..." He yelled out in a nervous tone, "Everyone in the kitchen.. uh also.. What happened?!" Stepping towards Tiger, seeing that Tiger was charging, and getting the update uploaded into her. 'Oh Tiger, please be okay..' Lowering his head to look into her eyes which were glowing off and on. Noticing her eyes were reflecting him, a bit of looking at his fangs, "oh... I have a piece of meat stuck in my teeth." Tigers eyes blinked some as they both seemed to go by instinct standing straight up in front of each other.

"Uh.. Tiger? You doing okay? Do you remember who I am?" Tigers body was calming down only sparking a little bit. He looked down at her body frame, looking back up at her smiling softly glad to see she looked to be getting better with a bit of time. "Yes, I am T-t-tiger-er. I am on ch-ch-charg-gi-ing mode. I can not move or do much-h. I am s-s-s-s-o-orry to be of a inconvenience here," Tigers eyes looked around some before going back to look at him, "This is not th-the closet. I will get in the way, when I ch-ch-charge..  I know who you are-are-aa and how I got here. If I could I would would would greet you properly." Everyone seemed to be slowly coming back into the living room crowding around Tiger. 

"WE MISSED YOU!" Lillion ran over jumping to pounce upon Tiger, Rain catching Lillion in front of Tiger. "You know not to jump on Tiger, be nice." Lillion pouted standing on her feet with her arms crossed in front of her, "I was the one who made Tiger all better now.. she can play with me!" Lillion smiled brightly to Tiger, she looked down at Lillion blinking, "You are the-the-the one, who made me be-bet-butter? Lillion." Hearing Tigers voice again she sniffled and smiled happily nodding raising her paws up curling her fingers towards Tiger to pick her up. "I am s-s-s-so-o-orry Lillion I canknot not not move or pick you up up up up up." 

He slowly backed up away from the crowd, leaning against the corner between kitchen and living room. He smiled, watching as they all seemed to be happier with Tiger around. Telling Tiger about all the adventures they have had so far, wanting to take her to join them. He turned away making his way back into the kitchen to have some of his drink. Looking at his drink, "Ah.. this turned out to be a good day." reaching for his cup as his phone began to vibrate. His hand froze and sighed heavily, 'I don't wanna take another shift.' Taking out his phone and looked at the caller Id, "Heualloo?" 

Answering it out of confusion, "You answered? Hello. it is me, Tiger." a familiar surprised voice spoke through the phone, "Uh, Tiger why and how are you calling me?" He spoke, slowly sipping some of his drink that had grown cold. "Yeah, and it's rude to call someone when your talking with others in another room... So... we can talk later if you want I know your going to be busy for a while." As soon as he was done talking she had no hesitation in her words or voice. 

"No. I called you using your Wifi's network I am able to make calls now. Jane has informed me that a upgraded model of my model is out. I have already agreed to the terms and conditions. I am in need of your approval for me to do this." Standing in the kitchen opening up his mouth some, unsure of what to say or how to process this bit of news suddenly. This was an important call and the decision was already made. "Oh, is there anything I need to do, or well everyone would need to do for this to happen? Other than giving you permission to do this... Wait, why do you need my approval?"

Sounding a bit worried while walking to the edge of the kitchen with his drink in his grasp. Looking around the corner staring at Tiger, she was still posed in the same spot not moving, as Lillion and Rain had began a tournament race on Muddy Rides 8. Most of the girls and Josh were waiting their turn for the tournament while doing practice runs. "This is your house, you have taken us in even when you didn't have to." Tiger sparked a bit, before her ears twitched a bit as her fingers were starting to move. "Oh well.. Yeah but I'm not sure how the remodeling?.. or upgrade will you be you afterward?" Her charge was complete, shifting her body a bit.

"I'm done charging." She said aloud Lillion was in the middle of a race. Jumping up on her chair, stomping her feet. She was torn between jumping on Tiger now that she was able to move Or she could continue to kick buttux in Muddy Riders 8. "Yes, I will still be Tiger but with a more sustainable body for these adventures of Lillion and friends." The race was paused, everyone would crowd around Tiger once more now that she could move around. "Ah, well if this is what you really want I will support you in this. You have my approval but if for any reason you don't want to do this you are free to do so." Each one got in line to give Tiger a hug. "Thank you." He met eyes with her for a moment, the call had ended sipping his drink gulping it down to the last drop. Placing the empty cup on the counter then headed to the living room to get in line for a hug.

Monsters and Maidens //Chapter two: Canine naps

Yawning out as I stretch out my arms and legs, slowly and making sure not to wake anyone. A soft pop sounded as I sit up looking around the room, seeing it was cleaned almost spotless. Shifting my feet down to the floor and sat at the edge of the bed. My claws scratching against my horns upon my head a bit. My tail slowly and carefully rolled out from under the bodies of girls piled up on the other side of the bed. Glancing over my shoulder at them, sighing softly as Jane, Lydia, Rain and Lilone were curled up against each other. Jane had wrapped her wings around them protectively. A soft smile crossed my lips, "Such a scary.. demon princess." Saying in a whisper as I get up off the mattress from the floor, limping my way into the hallway. It had been two months since twenty three females and one male had come into my life, living under my roof.

Walking into the living room through the hallway seeing the girls piled up on their own beds, some laying together on the same bed sharing. Counting them checking to see if anyone had been forgotten somewhere or had left. "Nineteen.. yeah that's twenty three.. wait." recounting soon coming back to twenty three. "Wait.. We're missing one." Thinking back as my paw rubbed against my head in thought. "Come on, remember.." Whispering to myself while walking through the living room and into the kitchen. Glancing at a red furred fox female, holding onto a small green rabbit plushie holding it possessively between her breasts. Her arms wrapped around herself holding the plushie close against her while her face was buried against the rabbits head.

She was sleeping soundly in the bed, stepping over her slowly trying to get to the kitchen. Reaching the kitchen stopping at the counter and opened up the above cabinets to take out a mug for coffee. Looking through all the cups and glasses both my own and the few the girls had brought with them. It was at least a night off and could lay in bed all day. If I wanted to, taking out a black mug with the phrase in whiter lettering said. 'Still crazy after all these years.' Rereading the mug giving a toothy grin closing the cabinet doors. Turning around and stepped over to the other countertop putting the mug on the counter next to the coffeemaker.

Taking off the lid on top that covered the water storage area. Lifting a small jug of water pouring it into the coffeemaker until it was full to a marked line. "Oh praise me the nectar of the ground bean gods.. and goddessesess.. grant me a simple wanderer this one request.. grant me thi oven roasted heavenliness.." Placing my paws together in a prayer before turning the switch on. Placing my paws back to my sides, as my tail was lifted mid air and swayed side to side in place. "Got enough for two cups?" A soft and nervous voice came from behind hiding some around the corner of the wall separating the kitchen from the living room.

My head turned to notice a half naked female human named Rain rubbing her golden orange eyes, walking into the kitchen. Rain was only wearing a black shirt with a small tortoiseshell kitten with a taco in the center with small glittering stars around. Her purple hair tied back in a messy bun with a hair-clip, some of her hair coming out of the hair-clip showing orange highlights in her hair. Her softly tanned skin had small goosebumps going up and around her legs up to her waistline, where the shirt started to cover up her body. "Yeah, getcha a cup." Replying, while turning back around to watch the coffeepot fill up. Rain looked at the cabinets before opening them up to look at the glasses and mugs. Taking out a mug, headed to the other counter with it in tow placing it down next to my mug.

Glancing down at her, I could see down her shirt as the collar of it was ripped giving her a bust a bit of cleavage. Looking away quickly after noticing, Rain stood there waiting. "Sleep well?" I keep my eyes on the coffeepot as it slowly filled. Rain nodded with a soft smile, "Yes.. You?" Looking back over at Rain looking into her eyes as she looked up to me. "Yeah." Nodding my head while turning my attention back to the coffeepot as my tail laid on the ground behind me. A small giggle came out of the edge of the kitchen as a little kitten had pounced on top of my tail. Glancing back, lifting my tail up slowly and moving it side to side with her giggling and squirming around climbing around on the tail as it moved.

"Careful Lilone." Rain said walking towards her, with her arms crossed in front of her. "Get off him.. You know its early in the morning." Lilone pouted giving the biggest pair of cute eyes she could muster up. "Oh no don't think you can trick me like that.." Watching as I chuckle some, lifting my tail up as I reached over picking Lilone up from my tail. "Hello little one.. be careful on my tail, I don't need you getting hurt alright? now its morning time. So it's time to eat." Lilone giving a cute eyes trying to look adorable. "Can I pweze haz c-real?" Raising a brow and placing her down into Rains arms. "Go ahead have some cereal."

Rain sat lilone down at the table as Rain began making some cereal for lilone. "Don't forget to get something for yourself too Rain.." One by one another female came into the kitchen for breakfast or coffee. I grab ahold of the coffee pot handle, poured coffee into my mug before walking out of the kitchen. Sitting down at a small desk in the corner of the living room, scratched my cheeks some. Glancing up every once in a while seeing who was up and who was still asleep, until everyone was awake and getting something to eat. Writing down names and making small check marks to the name. ".... Whose missing?" Looking over the list and counting them over and over again. "Oh.." Looking back at everyone in the kitchen and living room. "Has anyone seen Tiger?" I ask while saying it loud enough to get everyone's attention.

Everyone paused for a moment to process what was just asked soon talking amongst themselves about who tiger was and what they looked like. They all seemed to be looking around as well, soon shook they heads. "I don't think, I have seen her since we arrived here." My eyes went wide, "What?.. well where would she go? Did we forget her at the gas station? Does she have a phone or a way to reach here?" Asking concerned as Jane shook her head with a piece of beef jerky, hanging out of the corner of her mouth, "No.. only a few of us have a phone, she didn't have a phone with her.. But she's a animatronic, so it would take a lot to damage her.. I don't think she needs a phone?" Looking at Jane and thought about it some more, "Oh.. well I- wait no, but I think I remember her, being here with everyone.. I'm sure of it, I made sure none of you were left behind..." Lilone chimed with in a singing tone "Sticker truck ride! Rained a lot!" Rain looked back at Lilone and sighed softly, as Lilone ate her cereal.

Listening and remembering putting the tarp over everyone. ".... She could have short circuited somewhere.. She might, still be in town, unless someone picked her up." getting up from the chair and headed to my room to change into clothing. "Or worse." Grumbling to myself, of course she was a animatronic or a robot either way. Grabbing a pair of overalls and slipped them on clipping one side as the other dangled and hung down. "Where are you going? Are you upset?!" Jane, Rain and Lydia all peeked into my room nervous as they kept their distance. "What? why would I be upset? No, I'm worried.. It took me this long to realize someone, I am suppose to be protecting is gone.." Looking over at the girls getting frustrated with a puff of smoke from my nose, "I'm going to look everywhere.. We have been both driving and walking if you want to check to see if you girls can't find her around the house or around the neighborhood." Slipping on a pair of flip flops, binding my fur back away from my face.

Everyone seemed to be slow at eating, and waking up some were still trying to hold their heads up. Walking out of my room and headed to the carport, a upset expression upon my face while grabbing my keys and wallet. The girls that were awake quickly got out of the way, stepping outside and closed the door behind me. Unlocking the door to the truck, sliding into the truck Rei gripped the wheel. "NOOO! I-I I'm so sorry Tiger, I should have fixed you when you first arrived." Leaning down and laying his head on the wheel. "Ludo would have done a better job.. everyone else seems to be able to do everything better than me.." Gripping the wheel and leaned back turning on the truck. Ears were pointed back, pulling out of the driveway. Driving along the road keeping a eye on both sides of the road to see if maybe she had gotten lost or at least close by. My throat growled a bit gripping the handle of the door and rolled down the windows while driving.

Meanwhile it was silent in the house as most of the girls were out searching for Tiger. A single fox female was still sleeping, slowly sitting up as her eyes were closed. Her tail flicked back and forth behind her, she sat there half asleep and half awake. Almost falling to her side before waking up catching herself  with her paws. She stretched out her body some as she stood up groaning with a blanket, she wrapped around herself making a small gown with her blanket. Yawning out softly covering her mouth with her paw, walking to the bathroom her eyes half open. Passing the bathroom door and gripped a hold of the hallway closet and opening up the closet door. She let out a yipping screaming as her eyes went wide. She quickly went to the correct door to the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

In the closet stood silently a catlike animatronic that was in disrepair. Its body seemed to have been a bit mangled wires loose and hanging out. The surface of its body was dented, missing paint, missing some parts. Tigers mouth was open as her body was froze in a mouth open and paws out ready to pounce. Her eyes were open, but she didn't move. The sound of water rushing around came from the bathroom, soon it came together with another sound of water coming down a mountainside falling upon the valley below. It was a sound that didn't last long as the door opened with a much more satisfied and awake foxgirl. Adjusting her blanket gown a bit more as the rabbit was still stuck to her chest. Looking down the hallway seeing the door still open, "My dear you need to come out and be around everyone else.. You know he is making such a big deal of your disappearance."

Walking back down the hall with a more elegant way of walking carrying herself gently. Stopping in front of the closet seeing Tiger wasn't moving. "... If you try and jump scare me it won't work.. You just got lucky." She stared, before narrowing her eyes some. "Tiger?" Her tail swayed some, before reaching over and poking at Tigers sides some. "... You know I don't know anything about your .... Technology." Tiger still didn't move. She huffed looking at Tiger, "Well your not sparking everywhere now.." Lowering her tail as she closed the door to the closet. "You're safe here.. sweet dreams Tiger." Standing at the closet door for a moment with a soft sigh, sniffing a bit. Her belly growled some, walking to the kitchen, "Time to eat."

One by one the girls had come back after a short time as Lilone came through the door crying about not having chocolate. A small line had formed each one following the other into the house. "Autumn! Where have you been? We thought we lost you too and were looking for you and Tiger." A foxed ear flicked a bit as she turned her head with a soft smile. "Heh I was asleep and here the whole time.. Oh and also." A devilish grin crossed her face, as she looked at Jane Lydia and Rain. "I wonder what he will do for the one that finds Tiger.. Making such a big deal about one of us.." A voice came from the crowd of girls. "Or what he will do to us.." Lydia's face turned bright red as she shook her head, "Cherat.. he.. we.." Lydia could barely hold a sentence more less a word to come out her mouth. "What are you getting at Autumn?!" Jane said glaring at Autumn, "I'm just thinking out loud of course.. You girls.. Have.. Been wondering about, what it's like don't you? Have him take you fully?" Autumn responded stepping off the chair and walked to her bed, her tail swaying back and forth slowly.

Josh gagged a bit, "Ugh.. don't put me in with this creepy thing." Walking to the couch and turned on the television flipping it through the channels. Lilone looked up at Rain, "I want chocolate! He can get me chocolate if we find Tiger right?" Rain looked at Lilone then at Jane and Lydia. "Uh.... Yeah, yes so we will be taking a break here and then going back outside to look for Tiger. Got it?" Lilone huffed some before walking out of the kitchen and into his bed room and began playing with her stuffed animals she had.

Meanwhile my search continued, unaware of the whereabouts of Tiger. Searching all around the town asking everyone, I could to see if anyone knew of anything about a animatronic. The day grew dark as I wonder around on foot leaving the truck in a safe parking lot. Wondering around the town by foot searching places you could only get to by foot, 'perhaps she wondered off and got lost?' Thinking to myself while making my way around town, hopping into the truck legs sore and burning from running around in the heat. Taking a heavy breath, slowly exhaling as my ears, head hung low. Glancing up at the ignition turning on the truck slowly making my way home. Stopping on the street, staring at the house my head hanging low as I pull into the driveway. 'I failed.. I failed to protect someone again.. I'm sorry, I should have paid more attention now.. who knows where she is, what people would be doing to her.. with her..' My blood boiled clenching the steering wheel, "I'm sorry tiger.." whispered to myself while shaking for a moment out of rage before slowly breathing and shaking my head. 'No.. she.. she's okay she's.. she'll be okay, we will just keep a watch right guys?' There was a loud roar along with other noises before nodding rubbing my ears. "I'll do better.."

Stepping out of the truck and turning it off, looking to the side door. "No more mistakes.." taking a deep breath walking to the door unlocking it and walked in finding since it was so late everyone had fallen asleep. Gently closing the door and locking before walking through the house. Looking at the beds, seeing the girls huddled up closer together it seemed. Looking at each one counting taking a deep breath they all were still here, walking through the living room and checked in the other room as they were doing the same. Counting each one finding they all were still there, standing right next to the coat closet and took a breath holding my hips some. "... We will keep an eye out for you tiger... We will find you.. Unless you didn't want to be with us, I'm sorry I know I am scary looking but I meant you no harm.." Shaking my head before walking into my room closing the door and undressing to get at least a little bit of sleep setting an alarm. "Girls aren't used to having such little sleep but.. we got this." talking to myself while laying down in bed.

A tail wagged some and pointed up to the ceiling as a fox girl sat up with a frown, but also a bit of drool from her face. A smile couldn't help but spread over her face, standing up and adjusting her body some in what clothing she left on her body. Standing in a nightgown, swaying her hips as she walked staring daggers into my door. Licking her lips as she quickened her pace, before Jane and Cherat stepped out of the shadows into view of Autumn. She froze for a moment before narrowing her eyes back at Jane. "What do you two want?" Autumn whispered, Jane and Cherat smiled wildly. "We want in.." Autumn scoffed at them. "As if you three have been trying.. it's my turn.. and I'm getting it without you two." She said before pushing past them. Jane grabbing her arm as Cherat held her other arm. "We know where she is.. so either we all get it or none of us do.." Jane said in a angry whisper her tail fluffed up.

Autumn narrowed her eyes and pulled her arms back readjusting her gown. "Pfft... and where's that?" She turned her nose up in confidence. Cherat stepped back some before leaning against the coat closet and tapped on the door. Autumns eyes widened and then narrowed once more, her tail fluffing out and began whipping around annoyed. Autumn clenched her fists before Jane and Cherat held her arms in theirs making their way to his door. Jane gently knocked on the door, she shook a bit holding onto Autumns arm a bit tighter. Cherat leaned against Autumns arm drooling a bit wagging her whole body with excitement. Laying in my bed hearing the knock, I sighed softly, "Come on in.. close the door behind you please." Asking nicely as Jane opened the door as Autumn, Jane, Cherat all walk into the room as Cherat closed the door.

Monsters and Maiden's //Chapter One: System error?

Standing beside my small 1999 "Wiod Ranger" A bit of rust on it as there were stickers of random things, placed all around it. Looking down at the old truck and smiled soft gray fangs peered out from my lips, with a tongue that splits into multiple ones at will coming out to flick around some. Each tongue had a different shade of a luminescent emerald. Reaching out with my paws outstretched gently towards the side of the truck. Being proud of my little truck, although it has its issues. A four large paws with dark jaded, light green markings up and down its arms through my fur and scales. Touching along the hood of the truck, as a soft blow of smoke rolled over the hood of the truck. One paw reached up taking a long pipe from a pair of furred, scaled lips. Five horns come from it's head as four of the horns shift and begin to coil around one another growing and combining into two separate horns on either side of my head. Two wings covered in scale and fur with the same markings that covered along my body. Fur along the top of the wing and scaled on the underside of the wing.

Yawning out a loud roar and stretched out my limbs crackling along my back and the joints of my whole body seemed to pop shift into place. "Ooo..ooh that hit the spot." Having just gotten off from work a 12 hour shift having a pack of energy drinks in the seat next to the drivers seat. Climbing into a truck lowering my head down horns scrapping against the top for a moment before lowering my head down some more. Scratching my chin as I climbed into the seat of the truck. My tail slithering in behind me as it coiled in the seat next to mine. My tail had the same markings as was over the rest of my body, in the same shades. On the underside of my tail a large gash was hidden away, but once sitting it could be seen being bald since the fur wasn't able to regrow. My eyes stared out the front of the truck for a moment with a heavy sigh. "Alright go grab her and those other 4 and then sleep.. 2 hours there and 2 hours back.. This should be fine.." Rubbing my eyes with a deep inhale closing my door once my whole body was inside, with my foot holding down the break and another foot held down the clutch. Pushing and holding a button on the side of the truck as the engine roared and hickuped for a moment. "When, I can afford to. I promise to get you in to be fixed sweetie.. all you need, the works. You'll be good as new.." My paw touched along the steering wheel some gripping a hold.

Getting out of the driveway and heading down the road, making sure seatbelt was slightly tight against my chest. A few cans of energy drink, one in a cup holder opened, my tail slithered over to the cup holder as it snapped it open with the tip of my tail. Holding it up to my lips taking a drink before putting it back and coiling my tail back into place. Stopping at a 'STOP' sign waiting for a chance to go licking my lips as my tongue slipped around splitting around into multiple tongues. "Hmm.. I should be there in time." Letting go of the wheel and turned on the gps. "Should be easy.. lets go Jill." The gps began speaking out directions to go to the directions. "Please send me to my destination correctly.." Holding back onto the wheel and driving into the freeway turning down the road.
 

The truck connected to the phone allowing the music to turn on in the truck. "Lets get some tunes.." Tapping the phone to youtube music, hitting on 'Atmospheric phonk II night chill phonk'. Noticing the song was 30 minutes long, "Oh dam.." Slowing down to a stopped red light in traffic. "Sure, why not going to be a long drive anyway." Hitting play as the bass thumped making the truck shake a bit with the first song began to play. "Oooooo... okay." amuzed and smiled as the light turned green heading down the road listening to the music along the way. Bobbing my head around while the music played, paying attention to the road while traveling along the way to the bus station. The music stopped suddenly. "Hm wait what?" a bell began to ring growling around. "Who ruined my?!" stopping himself seeing the number, "Oh." accepting the call and began talking through the speakers of the truck. "Hey everything okay?" Asking out loud some not wanting to be unheard.

"Yeah.. just calling .. are you really going to be there?" A nervous female voice asked while other girls could be heard in the background. Narrowing my eyes, "I said I'd be there I will be there.. on my way right now." saying back with a soft smile and a small chuckle. "So don't worry I'll be there.." there was silence for a moment as another female voice came to the phone. "Alright. Just making sure." I chuckle some, "Yes, Jane don't worry." a group of females collectively called out from the background called out along with Jane. "Okay.. see you later." The phone hung up and continued the song that was playing before. Looking out the windshield processing what just happened. "..Wait.." changing the song.

"Okay.. wait what? who where they?!" Leaning back into the seat more with a groan. "What is going on?" Looking at redial as I shook my head. "Might as well find out there.." Closing my mouth and concentrated on the road while music played off in the background as my mind continued to run with every kind of situation this could turn out to be. Blushing at some ideas, but other ideas had my stomach in knots. My tail opening and crushing energy drink cans while giving drinks to the lips. My eyes wide open having recently got off working half a day only to do this for half of another. An hour passed before pulling over to a fuel station pulling to pump eight. A dim neon light lit up the numbers on the pumps. Turning off the music and checking the bank account looking at my savings empty and then checking had some money for gas and something to eat both ways. keeping note on the money that was in the bank.

"Okay.. we can afford this.." Talking to myself getting out of the truck and filled up the tank full glancing at the price of each kind of type of fuel. ".... I remember when it was one dollar.." sighing heavily having a flashback of a even cheaper price of fuel from an even older time. My eye twitched some before blinking staring at the filled fuel meter. "There goes that money.." sighed heavily and walked into the fuel station a female ground hog working behind the counter. I smile softly as I walk by waving a good morning without saying a word. Walking to the cooler taking out a large can of energy drinks taking two seeing they were having a deal on them. Holding the large cans easily in between my fingers heading down the snack shelf and stood there for a moment taking a double decker oatmeal crème pies.

Heading to the cashier waiting in line behind two females, one was a skinny rounded Coyote and the other was a plumper Crocodile, dressed up in jeans and black hoodies with anime and interesting stickers and buttons all around. Looking at the buttons and things on their hoods before locking eyes with them both suddenly staring at me. Blinking a bit and smiled softly, "Good morning, I'm a one piece guy myself." I mention gesturing towards a bleach shoulder bag over one of the girls shoulder. "Oh, I haven't watched that one." One of them commented in a nervous tone as they both moved closer together and away from me. I stepped back and nodded. "Ah well, no worries." chuckling some before looking away as did the girls. Looking around the room to distract myself, stepping forward in line until it was my turn.

"Good evening hah just noticed the time.." speaking to the cashier, "Rough day? Well I only have thirty more minutes before I get off." Smiling brightly, "Oh there ya go, Yeah I just got off a 12 myself about to do a double." the cashier frown. "Oh no.. no wonder no sleep for the wicked." I chuckled softly as I pay for the fuel and food. "Oh. can't help it can we?" smiling softly as I walk out of the fuel station and get back into the truck. Sighing heavily, "Another 12.. sure why not. it's just a few more hours." Adjusting myself in the seat it was only another thirty minutes until arriving at the destination. Thinking in the truck while moving it out of the fuel lane and out into the dirt road parking lot.

 Parking and leaned in the truck turning it off for a moment. "Okay.. guys.. who wants to go from here?" Blinking my eyes opening them sitting around a camp fire. "Well I got you guys here.. I'm leaving be good and don't screw this up. The flame on my tail roared out glaring at everyone standing up and disappeared into the darkness. For a moment everything was quiet before sitting down at the camp fire. "...I'm Rei, pleased to meet you all.. I guess I'll be taking over for a while it's been a while and I know I fucked up last time but this time I can get it right." Fists gripped the pants lowering his head. "Promise.." closing my eyes and opened them up looking out the windshield and smiled some looking over my body "I promise.. I can do better.." Opening and closing my paws looking at them on the counter. "... okay we.. got this.."

A deep voice came out of my mouth, as the volume and depth of my voice continued to change. "Alright.. we can do this." coughing slightly before leaning back a bit more and stretched out my body. Taking a deep breath letting out a bit of smoke from my lips although I didn't have anything to smoke.  "Alright.. let's go." Driving out of the parking space and back onto the highway turning on some more aggressive music as I drove.

 Arriving at the destination and sat in the parking lot waiting. "Okay.. this will be fine.. it'll be fine." taking a deep breath before stepping out of the truck and walked over to the waiting area for the bus. The bus had just arrived and was turning around in the parking lot to the station. Standing by a small fence line around the bus station area. Looking around as people began coming off the bus, seeing a few familiar faces as I wave. "Hey haha look who made.." my speech was interrupted by the number of siblings they had accompanying them was a bit more than a few. "It.." They seemed to not want to look me in the eyes but looked down at the ground or each other.

"O..oh okay how many is.. coming?" I ask softly seeing their things as well, coming off the bus. Jane, a feline demoness stepping forward opening up her wings and stood up as tall as she could "We.. have a few more than we said but please.. I will take any things you wish but please allow them to come with us.." Looking down at her and chuckled some. "Ah.. but how many are .. coming?" they mumbled to themselves in hushed voices when I looked at them. "We.. count .. all together.. e-" Jane cleared her throat and nervously said the number a bit in a whisper. "Tweh.."Jane cleared her throat a bit, "Twenty four." My eye twitched as my eyebrows rose up clearing my throat. "Twenty... f-f-four of you?" Rain a female human with purple hair jumped to Janes side. "We promise, we won't cause you any trouble." She spoke worried, but elegantly calm adjusting her glasses a bit while pulling her luggage along behind her, noticing the firm grip she had on the luggage handle.

I closed my eyes with a heavy sigh, a squeaky voice along with laughter came screaming towards me. Opening up my eyes as a small kitten came running full speed over towards me. My eyes went wide quickly opening up my arms. "HEY, I SEE A LITTLE SWEETIE!" I smiled softly mid way as my arms opened up to her she stopped and ran behind Jane and hide herself. I quickly stood back up looking down with a soft sight. "Alright.. it's okay I'm not going to hurt you for one.. for two I'm glad to meet you all and to the ones I don't know I hope our first meeting goes good.." Looking around and rubbed my paws together some. "Okay uh so.. this is me over here.. I know it's nothing fancy but it's mine.." showing the truck off a bit as stickers were placed all around it. "I call it the sticker truck." Little kitten came running out and giggled looking over the stickers all over the truck her fluffy fur bouncing with every giggle and joy-filled laugh.

I smile softly, "alright well everyone go ahead and put your things in the truck.. sorry I don't have much room.." There was a discussion between the girls and a boy that wasn't even looking my way. Tilting my head a but and shrugged some, watching as all the items and bodies were placed in the truck. I stood at the door and looked back at everyone. "Be good back there don't fall out.. and stay down it will help.. tapped on the glass if ya'll need to use the bathroom or want a rest stop.." Nodding some still not looking at me but on their luggage. "Oh this will be fun.." I say with a smile frowning for a moment before getting into the truck as Jane was sitting in the middle were my tail was coiled at before. The demoness laid upon the seat nervous as she shook some next to her was the fluffy little kitten placing with her feet and stretching trying to entertain herself.

A older feline stayed by the door with her head down the lowest, "Lydia.. it's good to see you too ya know?" I say sitting in the truck as I try and adjust my tail to move over them as a extra bit of safety from their seat belts. The eldest feline nodded and said in a whisper, "Y-yeah good.. to see you boys.." "You girls hungry?.. thirsty?" I asked almost immediately and their was silence in the truck before a stomach began to growl, like a chain reaction more stomachs were growling as the silence continued.. "..." Turning on the truck and pulled out of the station. Jane's leg shook a bit and began to slowly touch against my leg. "Uh.. I um." I look down at Jane. "Don't worry about it.. I'll feed you girls.. I was thinking about having take out anyway."

Tapping my phone on the dashboard looking for nearby food  along the way. "Alright can you girls .. and dude my guy uh.. wait a bit before I can get you anything." Jane sat up in a proper manner her feathered wings held tight against her back. "They can wait.. we all can wait we don't have a problem with it." She said staring forward out the windshield. "..Alright well, let me know if anyone needs anything.. won't be able to help if I am not told what you need.. so it's okay to talk with me about what you want to say." Looking in the rear-view mirror and smiled softly before looking back to the road and drove on. Music thumping along the way as they all seemed to have passed out not thirty minutes into the drive.

Looking down at Jane a feline demoness with tiny horns on her hair and black feathered wings. The small ball of energy was Little one, she likes drawing and coloring. Glancing over at Lydia leaning her head against the window drooling a bit out of her mouth. I chuckle some and smiled with a heavy sigh but smile, leaning my head in my palm. "Looks like I'm doing good so far.." I whisper to myself Jane mumbled and looked around, "Hm?.." a bit of drool dropped from her muzzle to her paw. Looking down and quickly rubbed her mouth acting like nothing happened and slowly sat back up properly. "Enjoy your sleep?" I ask softly, Jane froze and went wide eyed for a moment with her jaw dropped open before covering herself with her wings some and then hid herself and the other two.

Blinking a bit as I frown some, 'I guess waking up with me by you would make you run and hide..' Inside my head echoed looking through the windshield with a blank expression on my face. My grip on the steering wheel tightened a bit before loosening it up again. Slowly moving my tail around picking up a energy drink and began drinking it. Then looked at the other passengers in my truck and sighed to myself closing it back tight and placed it back having only a tiny sip. Driving along the highway as Jane
had fallen back asleep as they all seemed to cuddle up against each other those in the back and those next to me.

Every few moments I glance around to watch over everyone and make sure they were alright. A few drops began to tap along the windshield. "Oh come ooooonnn.." I said annoyed pulling over on to the side of the road. Jane woke up as did everyone else in the truck as they stood up quickly ready to run. "Is something the matter? is everything okay?! did we do something wrong?" Jane keeping herself between me and everyone else., "What?.. No it's going to be raining here in a bit sorry but here I have a tarp to keep you in the back dry." They were ready to jump and run but their legs shook some before sitting down in the truck again. Stepping out of the truck as I grabbed the tarp and rope and began to cover the ones in back with the tarp.

"I'm sorry about this.. I know.." they began mumbling and whimpering keeping themselves close to one another. Making sure everyone was safe and ready as the rain began to get a bit harder. "Shit oo.. cold rain ass-s." Quickly getting into the truck and sat down wet and slightly soaked. I look over at the three in front with me, before staring the truck and continued down the highway. The rain continued as I drove, the music along with the rain could be heard.  Watching the road before looking over seeing Jane was awake but sitting a bit away from me. I glance at myself quickly noticing I was slightly wet still giving a quick sniff of our arm.

'Do I stink?' I asked myself, before nodding a bit to myself after smelling myself. "You girls.. can use the shower and stuff when you get home if you want." Jane nodded, "Thanks.... we don't want to be a inconvenience to you." she held her paws together and squeezed. "I will do anything you want.. just please don't kick us out.." The truck remained silent after the statement as Rain called out from under the tarp. "We both will.. Promise." Lydia looked from the window began rolling it down began leaning her head out of the window letting out the food she had. Everyone began screaming and laughing as it was chaos as the rain was only washing away some of it. "Oh right car sickness.. sorry should have reminded me.. are you okay?" I look over at her as she nodded some shaking and leaning against the truck door.

"... I think its time for something to eat." The truck was silent again mentioning food, I nodded driving a bit further down the highway turning off a off ramp to take off the tarp after the rain had gone, putting everything back to where it was needed. The part of the truck everyone seemed to avoid was the passenger side where Lydia had released what she had eaten half on everyone and half on the truck. Looking at the side of the truck as Jane stood beside and stared at it with Lydia glaring daggers' at each other. "Alright well we don't have time to clean it let's just keep going." I say getting back into the truck with little one in the middle next to me. I look down and very carefully patted her head and rubbed it softly. Jane stared daggers at little one, "What are you doing?.. little one.." I waved my paw, "It's okay, she can sit in your lap then if she wants to be next to me.. Hows that?" Grumbling a bit as Jane climbed back and sat down, little one seemed to grin wildly as she sat on Janes lap.

"You just don't want to sit next to motion sickness over here." Lydia glare and flipped off Jane some as she continued to apologies about the throw up all over the side of the truck. "... I said it's alright.. no worries." The truck driving to the nearest food place as they went to the drive-thru. Going through as they had to wait for the order of food to be ready. Parked in the waiting lane, my eyes kept forward over the hood of the truck. Three bags worth of food was brought out to the truck. Pulling out of the drive way and parking into a nearby park as everyone got out and stretched went to the bathroom if they needed  to in the restroom in the park. Standing by the truck and handed out the food who had ordered what along with Jane calling out names and keeping everyone organized along with Rain. I watch this little army, I chuckle some and smiled handing out the food.

Everyone had been drinking and eating looking out at the heated mid day. I look at the time rubbing my eyes, taking a deep breath before climbing back into the truck. Once I opened the door to the truck and got inside everyone rushed over with food and drinks. I noticed them from the rear view mirror all running over and blinked before. I knew it everyone was in the truck and eating, drinking quickly. "Hey girls girls.. it's okay I was just sitting in the truck, I'm not leaving promise." Taking the burger from my bag and began eating leaning back in the seat of the truck. The girls one by one slowly got out of the truck but stayed nearby going back to relaxing.

I relaxed and smiled watching everyone seem to relax and talk with each other although it was all in whispers. I looked at myself in the mirror and looked away to my burger and continued eating looking down some as Rei took a deep breath. "Oh!!! Why are there so many?! I can, I can handle this. I promise I'm not going to mess this up..." Taking a deep breath before taking a sip from my drink, looking over at the other side of the truck seeing Lydia having switched spots with Jane, and was sitting next to me her heading down as if staring at the floor. "You get enough to eat Lydia?" I gently touch her side as she jumped. "Sorry.." I say quickly moving my paw away quickly and held my cup. "No-no, no I ate.. I ate promise. uh was good. thank you.."

Looking at her as she was stumbling over her words and stuttering. "..I'm not going to hurt you Lydia. I have no reason to." She seemed to freeze in her place, placing my drink down and sat up some looking at her, "I have no reason to hurt you.. Okay?" She nodded looking back down at the floor while nodding some more. Jane smacked Lydia's arm. "See now stop worrying, I'll make you really scream." Jane narrowed her eyes at Lydia. I look over at Jane, "Behave Jane. Nobody is going to make anyone scream.." Janes eyes drop to the floor as did her body some. She began mumbled and sipping on her drink, Lydia laughed at Jane some under her breath. I took a breath looking at the rear-view mirror glancing at everyone in the back of the truck, feeling horrible that there was such little room for everyone.

"Well.. this wasn't expected.." Saying aloud as the only ones to hear me were in the truck with me, and the two near the back window. It was silent for a moment aside from those that didn't hear what I said was still talking and whispering to each other giggling some here and there. "Alright time to head out everyone go to the bathroom and do what you need to were going." Getting out of the truck as I headed to the bathroom leaving the truck behind me. Walking into a urinal and took a breath standing there not doing anything but staring at the wall. "Twenty four.." Chuckled some, "I'm never going to eat cake again haha."

Laughing to myself before taking a large deep breath expanding out my body in a stretching before slowly letting out my breath. Coming out of the bathroom seeing everyone was waiting in the truck as I pass by them all. "Everyone ready? locked in tight?" In the back of the truck they all nodded still not making eye contact and looking away from me. I looked at them all it was a cramped spacing between them feeling horrible for not having a big enough truck for them to relax in. Lowered my head a bit before climbing into the truck closing the door behind me as my tail wrapped around the one next to me out of reflex. My tail had coiled around their waist and up to their chest. I look down and quickly unwrapped my tail from this new female in the seat next to me. "Oh.. uh hello sorry about that.. Cherat wasn't it?" Cherat a female feline anthromorph as she was Lydia's twin looking like her but her figure was thinner and curved more. She sat along side Lydia and Jane, she smiled happily. "You can use that tail anyway, you want with me."

 A bit of drool coming out of the side of her mouth while staring up at me. Rolling my eyes and started the truck, "Hello Cherat.. how are you?" She could only smile as I back out of the parking spot and shift it into gear. "I think you know how I am.. hehe or do you need a reminder?" I smirk a bit. "Oh? Is that why your up front then?.. to give me a good reminder?" The truck was silent as Cherat was about to reply with a red face. Little one yelled out, "Were going to your home!" I burst out laughing. "Thanks for the reminder.. Haha. Right to home we go!!" There was a childlike  "Weeee!" that came from the back of the truck, a few other voices called out a soft 'weee.'.

I chuckled some as it seemed to bring a smile to everyone's faces and chuckle, giggle. Running onto the highway once more, Cherat's paws touched along my thighs nervously twitching feeling against my shorts only to lean against the side of my body. Her paw undoing my zipper quickly taking out my limp length having it cupped in her paws she began kissing and licking along the tip drooling over the tip with a moan and eager breathing. Only moving out of the way when I had to shift. Her paw at the base gripping it gently every so often squeezing and stroking before letting go and slowly gripping ahold again. Her tongue sliding up and down the underside of my length. As she gave my length some tender care it grew larger and firmer in her grip loosened having more trouble in taking much of the length in her mouth.

Gagging with only some of the length in her mouth. "Hey.. it's okay don't force yourself nobody has taken it all so it's okay." Her head forced down from Jane, Cherat only moaned and gagged before pulling away and leaned her head out the window quickly and began coughing. "WATCH OUT EVERYONE..!!" Although they couldn't hear in the back much they couldn't help but try and peek inside through the back window. All that was heard from the back was. "GET DOWN!" quickly everyone piled on each other with their things. Lydia was forced to sit next to me as Cherat was coughing and spitting out some drool as, she pulled her head back into the truck and coughed Jane and Cherat began arguing.

Lydia was sitting up straight and stiff as a board as she kept her eyes straight forward, face bright red. I sit there and looked at everyone, "everyone doing okay?" I asked as Cherat grumbled, "Sorry I wasn't .. able to." Shaking my head. "No.. no I said it's fi-" A tongue began licking around quickly the tip of my length as Lydia mouth was taking my length slowly not being able to take much in her mouth she kept going using her paw to pleasure the rest of my length she couldn't get to. Looking down seeing Lydia doing her best. "We want to" she said muffled as she then tried to go a little lower only to gag and pull herself back to the tip. Jane growled, "If your going to take it then take it.." She pushed Lydia's head down, her eyes went wide before forcing herself down a bit. Quickly pulling back up gagging an coughing, quickly going to the window.

Jane quickly moved over as they began taking turns on a challenge they argued about for a moment. Rei smiled happily almost in a blissful state, "Heh.. I'm liking this maybe this won't be that bad after all besides I deserve thi-" A crack of a whip and both arms were put intense pain. "Aaaaa.. sorry sorry, right.. we-we don't deserve this." The pain had stopped before coughing a bit taking a deep breath as Rei took a deep breath. The grip on the steering wheel became firmer, for a moment. "Alright girls.. you all don't look like your feeling well haha how about you rest." Looking down at them seeing their eyes half open from having gagged themselves out and became sickly. "..Sorry girls.." Jane sat up and coughed a bit wrapping her wings around them both and cuddled with them in the seat.

"It's okay.. you didn't do anything wrong." Was the last thing she said holding them both close to her neither of them feeling good. I sigh softly stuffing myself back into my clothing and zipped back up. Looking at my arms where the pain was. "..." Then looked back to the road, "Okay then.. maybe this will turn out to be a good thing.." wiggling my fingers some before focusing back on the road. The rest of the way to the house was quiet as everyone was sleeping in the truck. Slowly driving into the driveway, stopping as one of the girls in the back head popped up and was looking around. Stopping the truck, "Alright.. come on wake up.."

I yawn out exhausted trying to be gentle waking them up. Each one slowly climbing out of the back of the truck holding their luggage with them. "... I'm sure each of you know I wasn't expecting so many of you.. but I will not turn you down so please. come inside and we will find somewhere for you all to sleep.." Nodding some as they followed holding their things close to their body's. I open the door holding it open for them. "I don't have much but if your hungry eat.. thirsty drink." Jane stood in front of me as the last one. "I will make sure it's finished before you have to go back to work.." her body was nervous as it shook slightly as I looked away gesturing her inside. "Like I said you don't have to." stepping up the steps as I followed behind and closed the door behind me.

Looking at them all huddled in the kitchen. "Well... uh this is the kitchen.. knives forks spoons here.. plates glasses here.." gesturing around to the cabinets and drawers of the kitchen showing them around a bit before getting to the front moving to the living room. "Heres the living room.. It's not much but we have extra sleeping spots, sitting spots." unfolding the futon showing it turns into a bed before showing the couch some of it reclines back. Walking to the bathroom, "Heres the bathroom if you girls need to .. ya know oh yeah need any tampons? pads?.. I have some they are here." Opening up the hallway closet for towels, other bathroom needs.

Yawning a bit as the exhaustion of the day was hitting him as it was already getting tot he evening hour. "Uh.. well I'm getting a bit tired from." they all began speaking as my eyes opened up. Jane and Lydia stepping out from the group. "We all are thankful and know you haven't slept since working last night.. thank you again for taking us all in.." staring a bit and shook my head waving my paw some. "Don't worry about it.." Looking at them before showing them another room. "Uh this is the guest bed room, although the bed I had in there ..."

Lydia coughed a bit. "We could maybe get it back when we are able to go up there and get it thanks again.. it's helped loads." Looking at Lydia and nodded showing another door. "This is my room.. uh I guess when I'm at work you girls can share it.." Opening up the door showing my room and a queen sized bed. My clothing hanging up on old store shelf racking. Looking at the bed. then looking back at the girls. "Uh.. I know I don't know your names I'm not good with names so please be patient with me."

The girls were slowly walking around and putting their things down in a spot they were claiming in the other room and in the living room. Glancing over as I notice one looking at the other closet in the hallway. "Oh that's the coat closet." Noticing she was a animatronic, "Oh.. uh yeah you can go ahead and. find a place your comfortable with.." she had turned her head to me, her body was glitching and her wires were hanging out looking as if she needed some handy work. She didn't say anything before stepping into the closet and closing the door behind her. "Alrighty.. Your safe there don't worry..."

Looking at the other girls seeing they were getting comfortable feeling horrible not having enough places to have them rest in finding all the blankets I could find. Giving them to the girls giving them all the pillows I didn't use. Walking over to the thermostat and turned on the air to help cool everyone down. Yawning a bit as Jane chimed in from my left side. "Aren't you suppose to be getting to bed?" I looked over and then at the thermostat. "Can a demon princess handle a little cold?" Jane huffed and crossed her arms. "I am a princess of hell, I can handle anything you mortals can dish out." Leaning down a bit becoming face to face with her. "Oh really?" Staring deep into her eyes as she went stiff and her eyes began to drift around, "Well.. of course I can!" she boasted a bit nervously but shook a bit.

"Fine then.. well I'm going to bed then after a shower." Waving my paw some as I began getting a shower in, closing the door behind me. There was silence for a moment before voices began echoing with chatting and talking. Undressing myself as I turn around looking in the mirror looking at myself. Trying to smile and make it not look evil or scary, Rubbing my face with a sigh, climbing into the shower and closed the curtain. Having the hot water splash over the front of my body then my back holding my paws together and took a deep breath, letting out a hot air which steamed the water that was splashing on my body.

Closing my mouth and took another deep breath, "Twenty four." rubbing my head softly as I began to think while cleaning off my body from the whole day and night. Feeling a bit refreshed stopping the shower and turning off the water.  letting my body drip dry for a moment still in thought. Stepping out of the shower and grabbed my towel drying off the rest of my body stopping at the door about to go out casually, "..." Putting my shorts back on and gathering up my clothing and put them under my arm. I opened up the door and stepped out as my body was half naked in front of them all. I placed the towel over my shoulder some before looking at everyone staring at me. I look around some before walking out of the bathroom and headed to the bedroom.

I look at my bed as I closed the door behind me. There was silence far as I could tell before walking over to the bed. Climbing into the bed with a soft groan pulling the clean blankets over my body and smiled happily. "Ah, this is heaven.. my comfortable bed.. My home" Rubbing the floor a bit, "We have company again a bit more than we thought, you think we should give them a shot to stay?" Falling asleep soon as my head was comfortable against the pillow. Time had no meaning hearing muffled sounds before slowly opening up my eyes to see Jane sneaking into my bed room. Closing my eyes enough they are closed but I could still see her perfectly.

Laying upon my back with my blanket covering my body, her eyes staring at my eyes waving her paw at me for a moment. Being frozen like a dear on the road slowly, she made her way to the bed. I could watch her and see what she was up to, climbing onto the bed she was slow and steady. Moving her body as if she was going to get in trouble for being in my room or on my bed with me there. Her paws careful moving the blanket away from my waist as my limp length laid on my stomach. Her paws massaging as she licked her lips and shook a bit leaning down and began licking along the length slowly, taking the tip into her mouth for a moment before she froze as my foot moved some. The door slowly opened up as Lydia, Cherat came into the room being as quiet as they could.

Slowly taking off their clothing and then began to join Jane in touching and licking along my length. "Girls.. I told you.. you don't have to." They took turns, "But we want to.. let us pleasure you. you deserve it." My eyes narrowed some, Rei laid there getting shocked, "Ah.. fuck okay okay.. we don't deserve it.. but.. this actually feels nice.." Jane had glared at Cherat as their beat was still in effect while gagging each other once they were choking on my length. Lydia slowly went to the tip as both Cherat and Jane held her head down further than she had taken it before, she moaned out and groaned before tapping on Jane and Cherats arms quickly.

Gagging as she pulled herself up with Jane and Cherats help covering her mouth quickly some getting out and landing on my thigh. Her eyes tearing up as she ran out of the room holding her paws over her mouth, "Lydia.. You okay?" I ask watching Lydia, Cherat and Jane got up and went off to take care of Lydia holding onto her hair as she puked into the toilet. "I just showered.." Looking down there was only a small bit on my thigh, taking my towel and wiped it off. Tossing the towel into the laundry basket closing my eyes. Little one squealed some and ran into the bed room, my eyes popped open covering up quickly and put back on my shorts while under the blanket. "Hey, what's wrong? you scared?" A loud crack of thunder struck near the house rapidly.  "Oh you afraid of the storm?" Little one jumped into my lap and clung to my side. "O-oh okay.. it's okay, I gotcha don't worry.."

Moving little one away from my hips held her against my chest, lightly nuzzling on top of her head. "I gotcha kiddo.. don't worry the storm may be scary but did you know. Where I come from the lighting and thunder, are just our ancestors dancing around for us." She held her ears, "Their loud! and scary!" I chuckle and nodded, "Well don't you worry my ancestors dance here often, so I guess I'm doing something right haha. Sorry they are having a party for me right now." Little one held onto my chest slowly falling asleep against me.

Looking around some unsure what to do, but soon fell back to sleep with my tail and arms wrapping around her protecting her as I slept. The door was open as the some of the girls had peeked in to see little one smirking a bit while sleeping in the bed.
