*Achoo!* "Ugh, I feel like someone is talking about me behind my back." I couldn't help but shiver as I suddenly got the chills running all over me.
"Really Ash? I didn't take you for the superstitious type like that." Jolyne couldn't help but shrug while Eremes laughed.
"Besides what I heard is only people who are talking smack about you to make that happen, must mean even pretty boy has some enemies!" Eremes went out of her way to tease me.
"What? You think I don't have haters out there? Of course I do! I'm one of the luckiest guys out there…. Just now though…. I dunno but I feel something off…." I couldn't help but say as something deep in me felt wrong to me but I couldn't put my finger on it.
"Huh? You get sick or something? Maybe the candy and soda you had isn't sitting well in your stomach." F.F said as she was drinking the rest of the Soda she had before tossing it into a nearby trash can.
"It's not my stomach, ugh, I dunno man it's like shits getting…. Hazy….." I stumbled and had to catch myself up against a brick wall.
"Yo man you alright? Holy shit your burning up!" Ermes came to check on me by feeling my forehead but she felt me getting really hot, my face was getting red and I felt I was sweating all over.
"What should we do? We aren't anywhere near a hospital." F.F asked as she and Eremes held me up by the shoulders.
"Wait! I know of a good clinic nearby! Why not we just go there?" Jolyne said which seemed like a good idea to the rest of them.
"Though it would be bad if we took to long, is it far?" Carmen asked but Jolyne shook her head.
"It's not that far, it's only roughly two city blocks from here, but if we take the normal side walks it would take awhile and Ash doesn't look too great, so I know some alleyways we could take to get there faster." She said as they came upon a alley that Jolyne turned into.
"Well if it's our fastest way there, but there's no thugs or anything we need to worry about right?" Carmen couldn't help asking as while she wouldn't say it out loud, she was the sexiest of the four here.
"I mean there shouldn't be, but even if there is the three of us might not look it but we're strong in our own right." Jolyne said which got a nod from Eremes and F.F.
"No…. Bad…. Something's…. Down there…. Careful….." I could only mutter while my body was feeling hot all over and I just didn't know why I was feeling this way, but I could sense something down the alleyway and whatever it was, it wasn't friendly.
Hearing that they didn't think I was joking or saying random things, as while we weren't exceedingly close as of yet, Jolyne could also feel something was wrong as well.
Maybe we were just lucky at the time but Jolyne noticed a bent up metal baseball bat in a dumpster before grabbing at it and pulling it out, "I don't think he's saying random shit you guys, we could take the long way but at this rate it might mess up his brain from the heat his body is making, so even if it might be dangerous we need to keep going." Jolyne said as she turned to the others with a determined look in her eyes.
Seeing this and knowing Jolyne was serious Ermes and F.F handed me off to Carmen to hold me up while they both found some broken pipes and held them as weapons for themselves.
"Well if you say so then I guess we might have to fight some thugs, and if I had to guess it would have to be that group of Orc bitches who have been causing trouble around town." Ermes said hefting her pipe onto her shoulder while the three friends lead the way with Carmen helping me keep going as we followed along.
And for a few minutes nothing really happened as we reached an intersecting alleyway that cut these two city blocks into four parts, but this is where trouble showed up.
"Well looky here girls, we got some fresh meat that just sauntered their way into our private spot, and they even brought us a pretty boy as well!" They heard up from above as a few orc Futas hopped down from some fire escapes they were sitting on as some tossed their cigarettes away.
I was breathing heavily as disturbing thoughts were going through my mind at the sight of them surrounding us, now I really knew that something was fucking with me on purpose but what could….
'THAT FUCKING BITCH GODDESS!!!' The only person that could put me in this situation as I couldn't even put any strength in my legs when I was surrounded by these horny Futa orcs that were dying me up like some prime grade of meat.
'Karelia! Can you hear me! Something's wrong! The fucking goddess is trying to get me raped by a bunch of Futa bitches!' I couldn't help but shout out internally but I got no response in return.
'Fuck! That bitch even severed the connection to Karelia!' As I completely collapsed as Jolyne, Eremes, and F.F readied their weapons while Carmen stuck to my side.
"Well as I see it, it looks like you want us to do it the hard way, so we are just gonna beat the shit out of you bitches and then have some fun with pretty boy after we're done." She said as they cracked their knuckles while a few actually had some baseball bats of there own.
'Fuck…. I can't….. Keep my eyes open... I feel….. So pathetic….' I couldn't help but think before I blacked out from the extreme heat my body was making as it felt my brain begin to fry.
…
..
.
'…. It's Cold…..' I couldn't help but think as I slowly began to regain consciousness only to see myself within an Ice Bath as steam was surrounding my body.
I felt tired and sore, but I didn't feel sore where it matters so I don't think I was raped by those thugs in the end.
"That Goddess really must be pissed she couldn't see you be raped like your supposed to." I hear a familiar voice as I open my eyes once more and turned to look at the source.
"Master?…. Where?" I said seeing Ramia, the real one and not her big and small clones of herself as she sat on a stool next to my bath.
"Your in the Dreamscape, Simply put Ruth arrived in time to save you and the friends who were with you, though they got beat up rather bad and things would have been really bad for the lot of you if Ruth didn't show up in time." Ramia said giving me the simplified version of everything that happened leading me to here.
"Just rest, when that heat dies down come on out of this room and we will explain something's, though what should we do with those four?" She asked my opinion as it was entirely up to me who should know about the Dreamscape or not.
"Let them know…. They would eventually find out in the future anyway…." I say as I couldn't help but sigh while steam escaped from the bath due to the water and ice fighting off my bodies unnatural heat I was still feeling.
Hearing that she nodded before reaching into her shirt to reveal a pendant, seeing that I held up my hand before she could say anything.
"Master, I insist you keep that, you already know about the fact I have seen the future and you giving that to me is one of the reasons you end up dying." I say with a look saying I wasn't taking no for an answer.
"Kid, while I'm grateful your thinking about me like that but-"
"I know your pendant would keep any god from influencing my mind or body, but I also know that it's not the only one, I refuse to let anything make me have to kill you…. I know I'm asking to much, but let me take Gustaf's Pendant for myself….." I say but I began to feel a pressure begin to flow off of her from me saying that name.
But she took a deep breath and calmed herself before getting up and stepping out the room, stopping only at the door to turn to look at me.
"That pendant…. Means a lot to me…. I need to think about this…." She said before leaving me alone.
After she left all I could do was sigh, "I'm sorry master, but it's the only way that I can prevent your death…." I say before sinking under the water to be left with my thoughts.
'Even if it's a memory of your one and only love of your life.'
