Jailbait

The party was really starting to scream when the sphinx howled, signaling the arrival of another guest. The problem was, Cleo hadn't invited anyone else to the party.

"Who the...?" She stopped smothering her boyfriend and sat up on the couch, allowing Deuce to finally catch his breath.

"Maybe it's one of the zombies, they're always late." Deuce smiled, adjusting his sunglasses.

"Everyone is here!"

"You couldn't possibly have counted everyone..." Cleo frowned, and the young gorgon thought quickly, "I mean, one of your servants must have made a mistake!"

Cleo de Nile never made mistakes, "Heads will roll, Deuce, heads will roll!"

Imhotep, the butler, walked into the room, and he wasn't alone, two uniformed police officers were following close behind. The party immediately stopped, every monster in the palace was focused on the new arrivals, and not Cleo, something that made the princess even angrier than the unwanted intrusion.

"How dare you interrupt my party! Do you know who I am! I am Cleo de Nile! If this is some complaint about the noise, it was hardly necessary to barge in here like barbarians! I demand to know who called you!"

The first officer, a burly oni, stepped up and flashed his badge, "Cleo de Nile, you are under arrest." Everyone's collective jaw dropped, and a few literally lost their heads.

"What? Is this some kind of joke? Because I am not amused!"

The officer pulled out a pair of handcuffs, "This is no joke, ma'am. Now if you'll just come along quietly."

"QUIETLY! How dare you! Do you know who my father is! I'll have you fed to the crocodiles for this!"

"Wait a minute, what is this about, officer?" Deuce stepped between the policeman and his irate ghoulfriend.

"This is about a 5,845 year old woman dating a 16 year old boy. Now, please step aside."

"That's royally ridiculous, I'm only 5,842! Deuce, stone him! Do something!"

Deuce Gorgon was dumbfounded, even Cleo's piercing shrieks barely penetrated his shocked mind, "Officer, we... We never got that far." He quickly wiped black lipstick from his handsome face, as his snakes hissed and squirmed in agitation.

"Sure kid," The second cop, a werewolf snickered, "And I'm the boogeyman."

"Hey! That was uncalled for!" Manfried Bogge shouted from across the room.

"Deuce, stop standing there like a stupid zombie and do something! For Ra's sake, these handcuffs totally clash with my outfit! This is a royal outrage!"

The other guests stood around stunned, while Manfried demanded an apology and Cleo screamed bloody murder.

Clawd Wolf edged up to Deuce, "Maybe this is for the best, man. Think of how she treats you."

"But..." He said weakly.

"Deuce Gorgon, if you don't do something right this minute I'll have you flogged!"

Cleo was literally unraveling, and Deuce thought back over the course of their relationship, the insane jealousy, the possessiveness, the petty cruelty...

As Cleo de Nile was led away kicking and screaming to the police hearse, Deuce Gorgon smiled and waved good-bye.

Afterward,

Manfried Bogge complained to the police chief and the officer was forced to apologize and undergo sensitivity training.

Cleo de Nile was sentenced to thirty years for statutory rape, and three unlife sentences for slavery and torture, not to mention Resisting Arrest, Assaulting an Officer, etc... She is now forced to wear hideous orange jumpsuits that clash with her shoes every single day...

Deuce Gorgon now lives in Greece and is undergoing therapy.

Notes:

C'mon, she's around 5,842 and he's 16, it's just wrong.

Medusa called the police, she couldn't bear to see her son suffering with Cleo any longer.

An Oni is a Japanese monster loosely equivalent to an Ogre.

Manfried Bogge is mine, unless I heard the name before and somehow forgot. I'm honestly not sure. I changed his name from Boogey to Bogge, as Boogeyman originally comes from the German word Bogge, meaning Goblin.
