— Damn, they can't say goodbye like normal girls! — Daniel's morning shouts echoed down the street. The front door of the house suddenly opened, while the triplets out jumping happily.
— It's just a goodbye caress Daniel — Be, screamed mocking
— ¡Tearing off my arm is not a caress!
— ¡Sorry Daniel! — Ro was running scared
— ¡Instead of running away come and apologize!
— It will not happen again — Cer apologized tenderly as he walked away
— It's okay, don't worry — Daniel answered blushing.
As they walked away, the tranquility enveloped Daniel's face, despite the scandalous screams and their claims, he already felt that it was part of a somewhat more pleasant routine, seeing them leave with smiles on their faces was much better than having their heads down.
— Already 6 months — Daniel sighed as he entered his house again — Who would say that those aggressive children, who were kept on the defensive, now leave with a big smile. Things are changing.
— Nobody would have believed it — Virgilia interrupted calmly.
— If true, ha ha ha…. BUT WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!
— Ashhhhh how angry you are in the morning — Virgilia covered her ears so as not to hear her reproaches — That is what I ask you, why are you still locked up here. In these 6 months, all you do is say goodbye to them in the morning and wait for them to come back later, you don't go out, you don't walk the streets, nothing, you don't even try to see what they do in the rest of the day.
— It's easy for you to say — Daniel answered as he remembered the first day he walked the streets — But you don't know how traumatizing it is for me to go out and see their "ornaments", remember that I am a simple human, they demons and here they treat in a very different from humans. For example the other day while he was saying goodbye to the girls, Rauq calmly walked by and greeted me.
— I guess to say "Hello" is traumatizing — Disrupted sardonically Virgilia
— Of course not! It is not complicated, it is like greeting any other person besides Rauq and I have greeted him other times, but this time it was different that day he was walking a soul. As he told me it was his new pet but it was not as pleasant as it sounds, the soul moved on his knees, they were so scraped that the bone was already visible, with each movement he made he moaned in pain. While Rauq chatted with me, the soul took care of me, he examined me with his sunken, watery eyes, with a countenance of terror and regret, suddenly the soul reacted and rushed me desperately asking for help, it was a horrible image, its tears flowed desperately and its screams they still resonate in my head, but before I could do anything Rauq fastened the chain with which he had his soul tied and with a strong blow to his face, he controlled, his face was disfigured and the amount of blood that it gave off was horrible. Rauq retired sadly, apologizing for the inappropriate attitude of his soul, I just dismissed him trying to focus all my strength on my legs so that they would not give way, and trying to cover my pale face with a smile.
— Well, these types of situations are normal, remember that the souls here are only as objects or as they mention raw material, they are also tortured depending on what they had done in the earthly world, maybe he was an animal abuser in his life. But that does not matter! really tell me that will prevent convivas with your children, do not you supposed to give the best to help them, also if you do not go how you're going to meet the other children.
— Maybe they could come here to have coffee — Daniel mentioned in a low voice as he looked away.
— ¡THAT'S NOT HOW THINGS WORK! Listen, here is not how the human world is not the same rules or the same attitudes, although they are a "family" is not how you think and unless you get out of here you will understand what your role is that they entrusted to you.
Daniel was not sure what his purpose was, until that moment he was just trying to lead a peaceful life, locked in his home waiting for the arrival of his children, but in reality that style would at some point drive them away. In one of his books he advised that a father should not totally interfere in the lives of his children this to give them privacy and a certain independence, but he also has to let them know that he is there to support, listen and advise them. The latter was something he was not doing.
— Well, it's your decision, so I'll leave you, I have things to do and if you feel like going out I'll see you at the bar "El comelon" is in the main area. Bye baby! — Virgilia said goodbye with a smile and disappeared into a tube of light.
Daniel was thoughtful, as much as he hated to admit it, he knew that Virgilia was right, it was not for him that he should do things, he has to do it for his children, all for the sake of maintaining that smile that he appreciates so much. Quickly Daniel went to the house, he took his tennis shoes, a gray hooded sweatshirt, dark glasses, a mask and left determined, but it was easier said than done.
On the way he could only go with his gaze to the ground trying not to see anywhere moving with extreme care always as close as possible to the walls of the houses, in his thoughts there was only the idea of dark and cruel demons waiting to attack him to put him impaled at the entrance of their houses. Looking up to see where he was going he could not help but see the demons that were around him, it was in that instant that he noticed. They were watching him intently, with piercing glances as if they were watching his prey. Daniel already suspected that at any moment he would be attacked and tortured in a thousand ways, that is how demons are, bloodthirsty, cruel and ruthless. His nerves were at the limit, he began to back slowly, trembling, concentrating all his strength on his legs trying to accumulate the necessary strength to be able to run.
— ¿Excuse me? — A female voice was heard behind him. Instantly Daniel was paralyzed and the moment he felt a hand touching his shoulder he couldn't take it anymore and abruptly started to run.
— ¡GET AWAY! — desperate cry without looking up from the ground. A strong shock forced her to retreat and fall backwards, her glasses and mouth covers flew off. He sadly looked up, letting his hood fall, he tried quickly to apologize but was speechless when he saw that he had collided with a girl.
— Au, au, it seems that I hurt my ankle — Said the young woman with a soft voice. Daniel quickly stood up and stretched her hand to help her.
— Sorry, it was my mistake for not looking ¿Are you okay? — At that moment some bright yellow eyes stared at Daniel, the young woman had some bright green scales surrounding part of her cheeks and her arms, which caught Daniel's attention.
— No, don't worry - the young woman said blushing — It was only a small blow.
Instantly several beasts approached concerned, offering help in a kind way and, like the girl, they also offered Daniel help. He was only amazed, he knew that most of the demons that inhabited the area were of the race of beasts, beings with animal features, but when he saw that girl and the crowd, he noticed that their features were very different. Daniel has only lived with 3 types of beings, his children who have wolf features, Rauq who is an ogre and Virgilia who is a Drag, other than that he did not know anything so he assumed that there were only wolves and ogres. Now that you look at it in more detail, the demons had different features as if they were different animals, such as cats with their short ears and thin whiskers, lamb type with horns and eyes with a horizontal line or as in the case of the girl. with reptilian features. In addition, they all wore casual clothes, some women with long or short skirts or others with pants, some men wore hats, glasses, short-sleeved shirts or sportswear, all with different symbols as if they were clothing brands, it was very similar to the human world. Looking further around, he observed the buildings, despite having some things that disturbed him, he also saw that they were normal buildings with department stores or restaurants, the streets were wide without sidewalks but it was not seen that there was any type of vehicle that will transit.
— Excuse me ¿Do you need any help? — Daniel recognized her, it was the same female voice from which he had escaped — I didn't mean to scare you, just that I saw you a little worried.
— Sorry, it was all my fault, it was my mistake for misinterpreting everything — When looking at the beauty that was in front of Daniel, he was stunned. The young woman was beautiful with the features of a white rabbit, she wore a cream-colored hat that she held with her right hand so that it would not fly off, she was adorned with a red bow from which there were ribbons that fell on her left side, her two fine ears protruded elegantly piercing the hat, her eyes were ruby red and with hair that reached to her waist. Her dress was white with pearl tones, as if she were a princess.
— ¿You need something?
— I don't want to be a bother — Daniel answered — It's just that I was looking for my daughters and son, they left in the morning and I don't know where to find them.
— ¡Oh! That is a tragedy, you can tell me what traits they have, maybe people can help you — the rabbit said worriedly. The beasts around her showed their support with a smile. That level of concern and selfless support moved Daniel who was already miserable for thinking badly of them.
— Well thank you I did not expect this — Daniel commented almost on the verge of tears — Well to begin with they have wolf features, also…
As he continued with the description, the faces of everyone around him changed, each time showing a more surprised face, almost on the point of detaching his jaw.
— I think that's it ... ¿Hmm? ¿Is everyone okay?
— I can't believe it — Said the rabbit surprised — ¿Are your children the judges?
— Well yeah, that's what they told me.
Instantly cries of surprise were heard, everyone started asking questions in an uncontrolled way.
— So you are their new father, tell us how they are
— Cer is always so cute?
— What does Ro like to eat?
— What sports does Be play?
— Do you think I can greet them one day?
— Can I take a picture with you to post on my Devilbook?
Daniel couldn't handle so many people, he felt like he would pass out at any moment. The rabbit girl also tried to calm the crowd but as much as she tried it was difficult for them to pay attention to her.
— Enough, everyone calmly is overwhelming him — A deep and calm voice was heard.
— Darling, it's good that you came - the rabbit girl said relieved. From among the crowd, he appreciated a beast with features like a bear, imposing, more than 2 meters tall, his fur was brown, his round eyes the same color as his fur, with rounded ears and plush. She was wearing a very elegant gray cloth suit.
Instantly the people stopped the rain of questions and stepped aside.
— Hello darling, sorry for the delay — I mention that huge beast — Ooo look what a coincidence, who did you go to meet
— Yes, I was not expecting it, what a huge coincidence - replied the rabbit girl
— It's nice to meet you… Daniel right? — Asked the Bear
— Hi… hello, that's right my name is Daniel — I nervously answer Daniel
— Sorry for this embarrassing situation but hope you can understand why everyone is somewhat excited to meet someone as particular as you — The Bear said quietly — Sorry for not introducing myself before, my name is Ukosok and she is my wife Lepaula.
— No problem, I just didn't expect them to react like that little ... wait ... ¡YOUR WIFE!
Endless surprises await Daniel and he has just left his home.
