User blog:Ore-samma/Short-Shot My Gargoyle (long wait)

Hello Fans, Ore-samma here!

Another fan request from this forum =

How about a young boy who took care of a gargoyle for years until he then reaches adolescence. The Gargoyle then came to life and leaped at the opportunity

This one had a premise that couldn't really lend itself (to me) as a moderate-to-long one-shot. So, I did the best I could.

I like how it turned out, but lemme know what you think!

Hope you like it!

Ever your Servant-

I looked up and out the window and noticed a woman holding her stomach as she stumbled through the side streets, headed right for our house with a troop of Order soldiers fanning out to get her.

I quickly slipped out and opened the back door to the cellar.

“'' pssst! over here! ''” I breathed. “ hurry !”

The woman redoubled her struggle and rushed inside while I tipped over the rain barrel to wash away her blood and scent.

“You’ll be safe for now.” I said, looking out the crack. “Why were those soldiers after y-” I stopped as I turned around and saw that the woman was in fact, a mamono.

“Th-thank you!” She whispered, holding her hands over a bleeding cut. “They would have taken my life!”

I nodded and gave her some cloth. “Here, hold that over your cut. I think I can bandage it, but-”

She shook her head. “No need. Daylight will soon come and I will be locked away for ten years!” She sniffed. “I was just trying to get out of the city!”

“What do you mean, locked away?” I said, placing my hand on her shoulder.

She showed me a seal above her pelvis. “I will turn to stone, until I find a husband. One week as flesh, one week locked away….but because I must recover, it will be ten years!” She placed her hands to her face. “Oh! They will find me eventually! I don’t want to die!”

“You won’t.” I said, feeling a strange resolve manifest within me. “I’ll get you out and look after you!”

Her tear filled face remained motionless and she nodded. “Okay! Thank you!”

“What’s your name?

“Holly, you?”

“Eric!”

Holly sniffed and looked out the window. “Eric, I am going to have to sleep now, I hope I see you again.” She lowered her head and folded her wings in a simple pose of a standing lady. I gasped in a slight awe of seeing her skin turn a lighter shade of grey, and grow still.

The years passed, and I sometimes wondered if it was all a dream. But every time I started to question myself, I would see Holly’s smiling face in my dreams, and hear her voice on the edge of sleep. So I kept her….I grew, found work as a hunter-trapper, and slowly but surely made a slow migration to the Eastern Border of the Order and reached the Mamono Empire.

“Holly! We’re here! I told you we’d make it, and so here we are!” I said as I unboxed her container. I smiled at her still form and noticed a few spots where grime settled in on the long journey.

“Looks like I’ll have to clean you up again! I tell you, everyone says they never met a more polished and smooth statue than you!”

I scrubbed, applied her polish and smiled as I stepped back.

“Ten years….we should almost be done, yes?” I said as I turned her to face the setting sun.

I gasped as soon as I heard a crack in the stone with the last rays of light.

I stood and saw another crack, then another, another!

With a choked sob and cry of exhilaration the stone fractured with so many jagged lines, and then settled into a soft skin.

“Holly!” I cried out, seeing her stretch and yawn, a thin line spanned her stomach where her wound used to be.

“Eric!” Holly wept and dove into my embrace. “All of it! I could hear and feel and understand all of it!” She sobbed, kissing my lips and caressing my face.

“Huh? All of what? What are you-”

“Eric! You spoke to me! Took care of me! Dreamed of me! Everything! Oh! I owe you my life! Please! Let me be your bride!”

“I-” My mind spun as my body instinctively reacted to her desperate passion. I felt my lips move and voice swear to be her husband, and to be with her forever, much like I made my instant promise to look after her.

We held, kissed, and made love to each other almost nonstop for almost a week. Pausing only when either of us passed out, or to drink water.

On the last day of her week being free we sat on the small porch of my cabin within the Mamono Empire.

“I wish you didn’t have to sleep for a week.” I muttered.

“I may not.” Holly sighed. “The amount of energy you gave me is so much! I may be freed from my seal!”

We watched the last of the sun disappear and I held my breath as I turned….and almost laughed.

Holly was there, her eyes closed and her cheeks puffed up. She almost looked like she was holding back a fart!

“Boo!” I cried out, placing my hands on her shoulders.

“Eeek!” She screamed and then pouted.

“That’s not funny!” She cried out, shaking me a little.

“You didn’t see that face!” I chortled.

“Speaking of face!” Holly purred and grabbed my face and pulled me in for a deep kiss. “I still haven’t had my fill of yours yet!”
