For me I especially need someone for this situation but for him to really stay by my side through the monsters and everything I want to make sure he isn't going to leave but I don't want to get attached if there is some rule for this things because who knows my father might have it as some ritual for something. I will never know; such torture.
"Well, you never really know what's going to happen when you actually talk to your father maybe go to him later and talk. He mentioned that he was going to be in his study this evening so if we needed him we would find him there." lane just leaned over and hugged me and generally walk away. I sat quietly thinking about his advice and if it was a good idea or just to wait I don't want to be a burden to them and if I am already.
I look down at my phone and I have a message from dad. 'will you come to me, I'm in the study?' oh no, now he really wants to talk and I'm not sure if I want to go through this. I'm not sure what to do and this was 2 minutes ago I better hurry up. Running down the hallway to race down the stairs was my intention but to change in the house was not and dad was on the bottom floor watching how it all planned out.
I was so scared that Lane was going to see me I ran out the bay windows and jumped down into the woods and took off. I didn't know at first but dad came too in his form and we looked so different him and his silver streaks and red hair and me all dark and garish I guess it comes in time learning my abilities. " It takes time but to actually be able to be with the pack but when your so big the better offer is to be in a wide variety of areas so we don't get found in the mortal world." as he shifted into his human form and showed he was totally not in pain. "The pain will go away and you will begin a tolerance for it."
We walked through the woods for a good part of the night till we came upon a concrete slab with a door that goes to a ladder going down 25 foot and in a huge hallway. "This way please, stay close." we walked a good distance " This is the shelter we all get together and can work on our fighting without any humans finding or hearing us knock trees down. sometimes it gets really brutal" as we approach the door he stopped and waited a moment. " Is something wrong?" Dad said " No I just wish I was able to show you this stuff sooner but your mother she was worried that if you girls started like we did wouldn't have a childhood." "Then you guys don't know how upset I am with you both for not telling me. I was severely concerned with me and was in a lot of pain my first time when I killed that monster." Father just stopped and with extreme authority "What! An attack When? Was it the old house?" "Yea it tried to take yours and moms box and I changed that night and it was scary but, I did everything I could to do to get it back." "What did the monster say? This could be a threat to us or some note" "He said something of the lines of 'You might be one of the largest of your kind but there will be more of us to come and take the pretty away so the humans will paresh and we will have this world.'" He just passed back and forth in front of the door. "We need to go in so we can get all this in the log and figure out who and what they want with our box because there's literally nothing in it."
That confused me the most 'hmm that strange your dad is a curious man' oh lord you scared me where have you been I missed talking to you like I've been having guy probs and if you were there I'd have a wingman. 'has me as a wingman id never be any help just for the fact I'm a monster and our monsters don't find love with a human id go for another monster plus I'm a dude why would I go for a dude?' because I'm a girl and your host? 'you got me there. Fine I'll help you but you need to eat more or I'm going to keep falling asleep. I know your a little girl and not feeling so well but your feeding two now and that is a lot of work and I'm starving.' So what you eat? ' lots of red meat. something most girls don't eat I guess.' you're not wrong but I don't know if he'll just make me food when I want it. ' then ask?'
"If there is a problem with being down here we can leave? Cora are you alright?" "yea I'm just fine must be hungry didn't really feel like carbs." "well, what do you want like a stake or hamburgers or a meatloaf to yourself?" "Actually that sounds quite nice." Father just turns back and looks at me like I have a mind of a predator and grins slightly. "Ya know, I did the same thing at your age but, I was more experienced." "Ha maybe but, I learn fast so you better keep bettering yourself dad not much of time to keep doing that so I can someday beat you in a match." with laughs "I dough you will be that good for the matches that are coming soon for the alpha domain lots have tried and none have beaten me due to the fact in one of the oldest and strongest." With a scuffed voice "it's not the strength its the amount of talent and know how to get through a fight. My fighting teacher told me that one in boxing remembers?" "Ah, yes Mr. Komoto he was a weird old Asian man but I never really could read him directly he always talked in a poetic kind of stature." Walking into one of the rooms of the hall with a freezer door just beside it. It smelled like the best restaurant for steak and hamburgers anywhere. A musk of the best seasonings and smokes just filled your nose into a waterfalling effect of salivating of flavors. "Oh my, why haven't I been here before? This is such torture!" just laughs filled the room this is our underground steakhouse for all of us "Monsters" as you say have so when we get hungry we won't be judged for eating a whole cow or goat to ourselves and I bet you haven't eaten since your first change?" Slowly shaking my head no I slowly feel ashamed this thing inside of me is like a living organism in my genes and I need to keep it strong so I'll fight strong. "You are going to probably spend a lot of time in here now you know it's here hum?" "Yes, absolutely I and my thingy agree." " So it speaks to you and at this young age? Hmm, mysterious." Oh lord if you don't get something now I think I'm going to die Cora for real family it's been forever since I've been in here.
"I bet he's hungry hmm?" As father just glances with a smile I slowly just walk slowly over to the counter where all the food is and just chow down on all the glorious food that is sitting before me. Father left moments ago to converse with others that where out practicing spells and training new combat tactics and I've been sitting here just consuming a majority of the food bar. Yes, it was something I never knew I would do but I also didn't know that I could eat thirty-five pounds of red meat.
"Wow, she lives" as Lane come through the door of the cafeteria. "You're allowed down here?" With concern in his expression "I was told to find you and your father by your mom she gave me a map and everything just so I don't get lost not like you cant see the platform from air anyway." My face starts to burn up "Oh I knew that for sure" shrugging and trying to act as if I had a clue of what I was talking about. Biting the inside of my cheek as he went for a plate and came to sit with me. "So is it any good here you seem like you haven't had a problem." looking over at all the plates full of fat and bones and the leftover that's on the one in front of me. "Well with a monster appetite like mine and not eating much will do it to a person." A cracker of different laughs came from outside the door and someone trying to hush all the laughs.
"what's going on here Lane? is there something you're in need of or what?" his face just turn and he does his bashful face that he does when he's going to ask a really hard to say a thing. he usually does this when it's severely important and needs to tell or ask. "well I was wondering that if it was okay but if you don't want to I was just umm..." him dodging the question as always makes me think it's that important. "Lane, whatever it is I'm sure you will get an honest answer and will not change anything between us. I'm not just going to ditch you." He looked discomposed and embarrassed "never mind I'm all confused, I'll see you later." and took his plate and walked out the door.
The whispers from behind the door left and went down the hallway. I think your little buddy was trying to ask you out, my friend? spooky man was sitting across from me at the table I was eating at. Yea I know I just wasn't going to ask for him. So you're just gonna let him throw his confidence out the door. Yea I know it seems like it was a dick move, but I wasn't just going to be yes and have him try and smooch all over my face and stuff and my dad walk in and have him killed. Do you see where we are? He scratches his head and nodded in agreement. You're not wrong but to watch him do it to himself was really sad. Hey, you be nice he has never really been one for asking. His only girlfriend asked him and he really had no say in what they did! Now that's sad really that's really sad my dude.
