User blog:Safnar/Pg 7 Flora's Embrace Lela's Deal

When I woke I was alone. The bed room was dark, and it was only then I wondered where the light had come from to begin with. The two chairs the girls had sat in where now empty. Not a single sound could be heard from the other side of the curtain and for a moment I toyed with the idea that I was dreaming. But I could feel the bullet wound and the sheets against my skin and when I stood up it was with much difficulty and pain.

I was glad I was alone. This was something I needed to do for myself. In high school I had been a cross country runner priding myself on how far I could run before growing weak. So now more than ever standing on my own power was something I needed to do. I needed to prove to myself I still had the ability to fight through my own weakness. If Lela or Flora had been here they undoubtedly would have rushed to my aid despite my protests.

Carefully I took a few steps forward and had to catch myself on the chair. It was agony. I only didn’t cry out because I had bitten my cheek to stop myself. I straightened up and forcing myself to walk normally walked through the curtained archway. It appeared the room I was in was not the only bed room. There were three neatly carved archways along the wall. Each gave its occupant privacy with an old dirty curtain. I wondered to myself if Flora had dug these before or after our arrival. The room I was standing in was the main room. To my right was a small vary low tech kitchen. With embers still glowing under a steaming pot. In the middle of the large room was a wide wooden table and a simple rug. Scattered about the rug where toys Max had clearly been playing with. Again I wondered if Flora had them before we met her or when out to get them after. Judging from the brightly colored plastic components of some of them and the clearly hand stitching of others I figured both.

I didn’t bother looking for my brother I knew right where he was. I could hear him mumbling to himself in his sleep. Instead I went to the large hole to the left of my room that was a wide as the borrow was and let out to the starry sky. A pleasant icy breeze drifted through the opening keeping the burrow fresh and cool. Stepping outside I could hear the chorus of loud bugs and crickets singing to the stars as if nothing had changed. The edge of the demon realm was only a few feet away and the moon was caught right at the edge of its thick clouds of demonic energy and the clear sky of the human realm. So its bottom half shone with a deep blood red and its top half was bright white.

“Full moon out tonight.” Flora said right behind me. My hart did a little jolt but I didn’t jump. I had worked that reaction down so people wouldn’t know when they startled me. Flora walked up next to me gazing at the stars witch made her eyes sparkle even more.

“It is beautiful in its strange way.” I said. Noting the red glow from its bottom half.

“That’s my world for you, beautiful and alluring.” She said.

“Do you miss it?” I asked. It had been two days since she had crossed over.

“No. I don’t.” She said. There was absolutely nothing in her voice that even suggested she missed her old home.

“Why not?” I asked.

“Because you’re not there.” She said turning her beautiful eyes on me. I hoped she couldn’t see how much I was blushing.

“I-I thought you were sleeping.” I said. Trying to change the subject.

“Trolls don’t really sleep. We work at night and rest during the day but we don’t sleep.” She said.

“That wasn’t in the profile.” I said. She seemed a little put out by the MGEs mention.

“Oh that stupid thing. Making all monsters sound like all we do is seek sex 24/7. There are a lot of things that aren’t in that book.” She said kicking the ground a little.

“Like what?” I asked. Now it was her turn to blush.

“W-Well. We Trolls are vary huggable.” She said. She held out her arms welcoming me to come hug her soft body. I wasn’t going to but the look in her eyes, it was like she had been waiting her whole life for this moment and I couldn’t be the one to disappoint her. I let my body take over and stepped in close letting her arms envelop me. She was incredibly soft, and she was right vary huggable. Her chest came up high on me because of her size bumping my chin when she shifted. There was also a smell. She had a powerful smell of flowers but there was something under that. A smell of heat rising from her chest. It covered my face and filled my nose making my head spin and lust rise. But I managed to keep it under control.

“You know I think that was in the book.” I said. She squeezed me tighter and said softly.

“I know.” She held me tightly for a few minutes longer before letting me go. I stepped away hoping she didn’t notes my manhood bulging. That was in the book to and that sent was powerful.

“So what’s your plan?” She asked.

“What do you mean?” I asked. I was starting to cool off but my mind was still buzzing with lust.

“I know we aren’t going to stay here. So what’s your plan?” She asked.

“W-well I guess... Firstly I need to know what’s happening. Maybe we could go out and find a battery powered radio?” I said. As soon as I said it I realized Flora had no idea what a radio was, or batteries. But she nodded.

“Sounds good I’ll go wake Lela She’ll stay here and protected max wale we go get a radio.” She said.

“Wait right  now?” I asked.

“Yes right now. The sun will be up in a few hours and I can’t help you then.” She said. I quickly remembered what happened to trolls who got caught in sunlight. Flora turned to reenter the burrow.

“And Sam?” She asked pawing in the door way.

“Yes?” I asked.

“I controlled myself this time out of respected to Lela and you, but if you ever pop a boner like that in front of me again I will take you.” She said, without turning around. I don’t think the moon in the demon real shone as red as me in that moment. She disappeared into the burrow. I looked back across the grass to the road. A big brown blood satin sat on the dark asphalt. It was amazing I survived. And what had that cop meant about light show? I shook my head of it, That was something for later. I followed Flora into the burrow.

“What doses Flora mean you’re going scavenging?”

“Well Lela-“I started.

“Without me?” She interrupted clearly far to upset to listen. “You and her?” She continued.

“Lela!” I shouted grabbing her shoulders. The contact seemed to snap her out of her rant. “I need you to protect my brother.” I said. “Im counting on you the most.” I added. I meant it Lela was the strongest she wouldn’t let anyone touch Max. She blushed.

“S-So does that mean you’re agreeing to be my husband?” She asked. This again.

“No im entrusting you with my brother.” I said. She seemed upset but then a though started to occur to her.

“Y-Your brother? H-He’s the most important thing to you right now isn’t he?” She asked.

“Yes.” I said slowly.

“So if I protected him you would be grateful enough to reward me?” She asked. She had stepped close.

“T-That depends on what you’re asking for.” I said dreading where this was going. She shot a triumphant grin at Flora.

“When you get back you let me take your first kiss.” She said. She had moved closer. She was defiantly eating Prisoner fruit, as her proximity was far more distracting than it had been on the bus. If I refused, she would definitely make me regret it. If I agreed her kiss would undoubtedly draw in my heart and I would become hers.

“It’s agreed then.” She said not giving me a chance to decide. Flora was waiting by the exit a bag in her hands. “I know you’re too bashful to accept so I’ll take care of the whole thing. Now Go” She said excitedly pushing me toured the exit. “go, go, go… And hurry back.” She said pushing me out the door. Flora followed me out grinning. Back outside I turned to look at Floras grinning face.

“What?” I asked.

“You know what she’s been eating?” Flora said. She didn’t wait for me to answer either. “When she pulls you into hat kiss your going to melt in her arms.” She said and started giggling. I couldn’t worry about Lela right now we needed to move quickly if we were going to get back before sunrise.

“W-Ware do you think we should start?” I asked. She gave me one more giggling look before pointing at a rise.

“About thirty minutes that way is a branch of human dwellings. Can you find what you need there?” She asked barley repressing her giggles.

“Yeah let’s go.” I said. And Flora still just barley repressing giggles followed me toured our destination.
