CRACKA large crack appeared down the side of the egg and moments later a small piece was pushed aside. Suddenly a small white scaled hand popped out and started to break off more of the sh.e.l.l. I watched as the egg was slowly taken apart until a cute little head popped out, darting side to side looking into place once it saw me. A pair of bright blue eyes like sapphires locked onto me and a bright smile appeared.
"Frost?"
The little white scaled child leaped out of the egg and into my arms, causing me to stumble back from the impact.
"Big brother, I can finally talk to you."
She started to curl up in my arms while rubbing her head against my chest. She looked adorable, like a little puppy that just wanted your love. I smile while rocking her with my arms. I notice Victor finally crawling out from under the bed and started to snack on the egg sh.e.l.l. I wonder if he would change if I gave him more of my blood?
Victor spots me looking at him and starts to gather up the sh.e.l.l with his tail and drags it back under the bed. He looks at me with a guarded look.
Cheeky b.u.g.g.e.r.
I refocus on Frost and examine the changes she went through. She"s seems to be about about a meter tall with delicate white scales covering her body. She still has a small tail coming out from above her b.u.t.t and seems to be growing small wings on her back. It"s probably the minor dragon bloodline that changed her, it was originally her bloodline that I got to begin with. Artemis said animals were more p.r.o.ne to drastic changes then humans as well. I myself have changed in a few ways so it makes sense that Frost would also change. It"s just that these changes are a bit much.
The first thing on the agenda is to get her clothes, I didn"t notice at first but she is completely naked. She doesn"t have much to look at but it is still making me a little uncomfortable with her in my arms, especially since her skin is so soft and smooth.
The three on the bed start waking up after they hear Frost"s voice sound out. I leave them with the job of getting her dressed in something while I go get food for everyone.
In the kitchen a few people were talking and I overheard something going on about Erik. I walk over to Max and ask what"s happening.
"Your brother needed to go help a old friend of his and will probably be gone a few days. We are gonna continue the goblin hunt around ten so be prepared."
"Wait is Erik gonna be alright by himself?"
"Trust me, he will be fine. You haven"t really seen it but there is a reason he"s the captain of our squad and a well respected person in mercenary circles. Just wait a few days and you"ll see."
For some reason I could tell that Max is more worried than he"s letting on but I have no choice but to just nod and finish what I came down to do. Walking back upstairs I can only think about my brother and the mystery that surrounds him. Everything about him that I thought I knew was just a cover and I still don"t really understand how he was able to become captain at such a young age.
Opening my door I am greeted by the sight of the twins on the bed fussing about the clothes on Frost. I go over and Frost has a look of relief. She escapes from the twins and runs in front of me doing a little twirl.
"How do I look big brother?"
She is wearing a plaid skirt with a black blouse that highlights her white as a lotus skin color. The little twirl cause the skirt to lift a little and you could see her tail poking out the back.
I smile and pat her on the head.
"You look adorable Frost."
She started to smile and hugged me. I spot Victor still under the bed but he seems to be pa.s.sed out on his back, one of his legs even twitched every now and then. Did I get an alligator or a dog, I really wonder sometimes.
I spot Ca.s.sandra on the bed sleeping peacefully, she must still be tired. I look over at the twins and explain what"s happening tonight.
"Ok, me and Jess will do a double check on the vehicles to make sure we didn"t miss anything. Eat them sleep for a bit. We can cuddle when we get back."
"Yup, don"t miss us too much. See you soon."
With that simple but warm goodbye they left the room. I sit on the floor cross legged and Frost follows my example.
"Your really good at using your legs Frost, almost like you were born this way."
She blushes a bit and smiles.
"I"ve been practicing being like big brother online. You can change your species online. I practiced walking and eating. I wanted to be with big brother online but now I"m like this."
Ah, I guess that makes a lot of sense. It was making me wonder how she was moving around so easily. We then sat down and ate a simple dinner, of course Victor woke up when he smelt the food, I should have named him pooch.
After dinner we laid down next to Ca.s.sandra, victor curled up at my feet. Frost laid across my body resting her head on my chest, I wonder if I need to get a separate bed for her now? Well that"s a problem for the future for now let"s just relax and catch a nap before I go goblin hunting.
(Erik POV)
Looking at the school that"s has had its fence reinforced I couldn"t help but shake my head at the scene. Little wrinkly yellow creatures that looked like ugly children everywhere. I"m surprised that fence has held for so long. I can hear gunshots, the second the military runs out of ammo I guaranty that camp is gonna burn to the ground. Sigh, what have you got yourself into this time Ca.s.s.
