(5:00 AM Erik POV)YAWN
"Ah, that was a long night. Went as well as we hoped though, now tell me what happened with Hunter."
Sitting down in the gameroom Max, Derek, and I, are trying to sort though what happened.
"It happened like this Erik, we started off fine. We spotted a goblin tribe camped out in a school yard and proceeded as planned. Derek drove around while the rest gunned down the panicked goblins."
As Max was telling the story I keep glancing between the two, there is a weird vibe between them. Ever since I got back that won"t really look me in the eye. I try to not let it get on my nerves as they get to the part where Hunter started to go berzerk.
"When he walked out of the second cla.s.sroom he check something just became uncaged. He gave off a feeling that if you got within a few feet of him death was the only thing waiting. When he kicked in the gym door I tried to cover him but the goblins had an ambush set up in the last cla.s.sroom, we almost died in the start of the fight because we were distracted."
"Ok Max, I get it. Now I know he killed a large group and three tier 1s but something is off about you two. What"s going on?"
They seemed started at the question and looked down. Derek was the one to answer.
"Once we finished off the goblin ambushers we found something in the last cla.s.sroom. It probably belonged to one of the goblins victims, its just."
"Spit it out Derek."
"We think they got Emily"s sister."
"What? Are you sure, wasn"t she in Alberta. Why wouldn"t she have contacted Emily?"
"We don"t know for sure, but her wallet with her ID was there. For all we know someone could have broken into her house and stolen it before the goblins got a hold of it, her house is only a few blocks away from that school."
"The only question me and Derek have been trying to decide is whether or not we tell Emily, your choice boss."
Sigh, I really hate being the leader sometimes.
"I"ll talk to her and see if she can get in contact with her sister. In the meantime how are those girls you brought back doing?"
Max started to explain how Alex finished treating them around four, the only thing was that some were already pregnant.
"Wait, with the nan.o.bots the girls can chose not to right?"
"Apparently if the girl has a weaker reproductive system or special drugs like the goblins aphrodisiac is used the girl can still get pregnant against her will. He already feed them morning after pills but their bodies are not reacting well, we won"t know more for at least a day or two."
"f.u.kin Goblins. We will focus on exterminating them the next few days, if they start impregnating all the women they capture their population will explode."
"I agree."
"Ok Derek, you can go now. Me and Max still need to chat for a bit."
Derek nodded and gave a out a goodbye to us before closing the door. I looked at Max and started to talk about our night.
"Now then let"s go over all the s.h.i.t that happened. My group was able to kill around two thousand gnolls and we rescued ten people on the way."
"We only got twelve hundred goblins, most were killed by Hunter. How was your situation?"
"He"s enjoying the new world a little to much for my taste but overall my situation is fine. I"ve also been able to reach some progress with the two queens, apparently the rats have been going crazy since the ratmen showed up and started to invade their territory."
"So an alliance can happen?"
"Not at the moment but hopefully not to far in the future."
"That"s good at least there is progress, they are only about as intelligent as children right, put on that leader charm and win them over."
"Maybe if I was Hunter I could. That lucky b.a.s.t.a.r.d really gets under my skin sometimes, he already has a cute draconian in his harem. How long tell he has an elf as well?"
"Your the only one obsessed with elves but I agree. His luck hurts my soul sometimes."
"He was able to stay in control right?"
"Yeah, right to the end he was Hunter, that scares me even more though Erik. The smile on that kid"s face as he was slaughtering those goblins."
"It"s fine as long as he can control his urges still. I saw him a while ago and he seemed fine, I think the twins help him to."
We look at eachother and can see the jealousy, even if we didn"t try for the twins didn"t mean we didn"t think about it. Sigh.
"Alright, I heading to bed. We can talk with everyone tomorrow, we might need to move somewhere else if we take in anymore. We are already kinda maxing out the s.p.a.ce."
"Yeah, I know. But That"s a tomorrow problem, night."
Once Max left the room I just sat for a while, thinking of all the bloodshed that happened last night. The only thing worse is that I can only remember that it"s just beginning and everything will only get more savage from here on out.
(Hunter POV)
Ah, it feels good to be alive. With the twins on either side of me I can just stare at my ceiling with a sense of peace. Last night was truly amazing, I have never been able to just let go like that. I look over on the floor where Ca.s.sandra is laying on a mattress. She insisted on staying in the same room, more than likely she is already addicted to my poison and if I"m honest I"m ok with that. She truly is cute, in a cosplay kind of way. Draconians look very similar to humans, the big differences are their tails and the thin patchwork of scales on their backs and the back of their limbs. Almost like instead of growing hair they grew a thin layer of armor.
Meanwhile on my chest is Frost, ever since she got some of my blood she have been asleep. Her scales still have a flush of pink, I"m not to worried because she seems fine, peaceful even. I smile at that thought because right here, right now is the perfect spot to enjoy life. Smiling at the thought of how jealous my brothers must be I drift off with a smile.
Waking up I still have a smile on my face until I realise I"m in a familiar white room. Looking around I spot the person I"m looking for. Beside her was a girl around nine or ten in a white kimono and a little boy in dark green shorts and vest.
"O look you"re finally awake, hey why did you start frowning when you should be even happier at seeing your big sister after such a long time. Here I was missing you at every moment but I never crossed your mind, right?"
"Yup, never crossed my mind."
I pick up the girl as she smiles at me.
"Look how big your getting Frost, and you must be Victor. Did the old lady bother you?"
The look on Artemis"s face was priceless while the two children laughed.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING OLD LADY!"
"So Frost are you ok? You have been asleep for since you drank my blood?"
"Yup, I feel great big brother. My Body is getting stronger and I think my bloodline will evolve soon to, so be sure to treat me to more in the future."
She gave me such a pure smile that all I could do was pat her head and nod. Victor came over and patted my knee.
"What"s up Victor?"
"Need more food. You barely feed me enough, my body needs more energy to get stronger. Also could I get some blood?"
I have a feeling I"m going to be sucked dry for my bloodline soon. Either my brothers or my companions, it"s anyone"s guess. I look over and see Artemis"s face grow darker as we ignore her.
"Careful you will get wrinkles."
I pat Victor"s head and promise him more food as I start paying attention to Artemis. She stopped making a scary face after the wrinkle comment, I wonder if she remembers she is an AI and cant get wrinkles, or can they?
"Ok Arty, what"s up with the visit? Weren"t you complaining about wasting points."
She took a deep breath before starting off with.
"It really is expensive you know!"
Shaking her head, trying to calm down she continues.
"The reason for this visit as you said is because your situation has changed."
"What do you mean?"
"Your screwed pretty much."
