Chapter 7 – Dionysus

Dionysus was in a wonderful mood. She had downed ten glasses of wine and she didn't feel the least bit drunk. Nyx. Having just drunk one glass, was already tipsy. She set down her tenth glass with a thump and grinned at Nyx in triumph.

"Our agreement, for every five glasses I drink, you drink one! That was my tenth. Now, drink up, my dear Nyx!"
Nyx groaned.

"Noooooo… I cant. I am already …"

She was shushed by Dionysus, who shoved a glass of wine into her hand.

"Mmmmppphh … glug glug glug…"

Nyx struggled a bit as Dionysus tipped her hand on the glass she was holding and the wine gushed down Ny's throat. Some wine slipped out of Nyx's mouth and trickled down her slender white throat. As Dionysus forced her to bottoms up. Dionysus's eyes brightened as she eyed Nyx's lovely neck hungrily. She grinned wolfishly.

Nyx slumped against Dionysus the minute she finished the second glass.

"Ehh? I..I am seeing four of everything …"

Nyx moaned as she laid her head on Dionysus's shoulder dizzily.

"Oh Nyx, you spilled some of the wine. We shouldn't waste good wine!"

Dionysus said while cackling evilly inwardly. Dionysus then tilted Nyx's head to one side and then slowly and deliberately licked up the side of Nyx's throat where the wine had trickled down.

"Ah… Dion.. noooo…."

Nyx trembled and protested weakly, shivering slightly as she felt Dionysus's naughty tongue trace up her throat…
Dionysus didn't stop but continued to lick and nibble her way up Nyx's throat. She got to Nyx's mouth and slowly teased open her smooth lips. Dionysus then meshed their lips together, slipping her tongue in. The taste of Nyx plus her favourite wine was heavenly!

Dionysus felt Nyx responding in spite of herself, kissing her back shyly. Hurrah! She deepened the kiss. Yes! This time, with Nyx hopelessly tipsy and willing, she was going to have her way at last! Dionysus exalted in glee as her hand slipped down and started roaming most inappropriately. She laid Nyx onto her back and started to slowly slide off Nyx's clothes, all the while eyeing the girl hungrily… There was no stopping her now… muahahaha!

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The rude knocking upon a door shattered her wonderful world. The lovely visage of the half undressed Nyx faded from her view. Nooooo! Dionysus screamed inwardly and opened her eyes to find herself looking at the ceiling. It … had been a dream. Dionysus groaned even as the knocking continued. She had just been getting to the good part! Dionysus almost screamed out loud in frustration.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Someone was really knocking on her front door with force.

Dionysus sighed and struggled out of her bed sleepily. She shook back her pink curls, threw on a sheer gown and stumbled downstairs. On the way down, she opened the door to Nyx's room and peeked in. There was Nyx, dressed in a cute pair of pyjamas and still sleeping soundly. Even all that knocking hadn't woken her up.

Dionysus sighed again. Nyx looked so adorable sleeping, with her black hair sprayed out behind her. Just a moment ago, she was in Dionyus's arms too (even if it was just a dream). Dionysus stomped her way to the front door fuming. This had better be good or that unfortunate human knocking on her door was going to wish he had never been born!

She finally opened the door and looked out. An exhausted Ea stood there, supporting an unconscious Gumiho. Blood seeped through Gumiho's entire front and dripped down onto the ground, pooling on the floor.

"Dionysus! Thank god you are home! Gumiho's hurt bad!"

Ea said as she stumbled through the door. There goes the front porch, Dionysus thought fleetingly, but she ushered Ea through quickly nevertheless. Dionysis had a big heart and her friends obviously needed help.

"Nyx!"

Dionysus hollered at the top of her voice, even as she helped Ea carry Gumiho into the hall and onto the sofa. Dionysus noted that Ea's arms were heavily blistered and burned and she grimaced in pain every time her arms touched anything.

The girl of her dreams finally appeared yawning. Nyx stood at the steps rubbing her eyes sleepily.

"You are here, sleepyhead! Quick, come and help me, Gumiho is still bleeding. We need to strip off her clothes and staunch her wound!"

Dionysus ordered in a business like way. Nyx's mismatched colored eyes opened wide as she looked at them and the scene before her finally registered itself in her brain.

"Oh, oh dear!"

Nyx rushed over to Dionysus's side, now fully awake, and helped her to strip off Gumiho's clothes. Ea gasped in dismay as she saw Gumiho's wounds. A deep bloody wound ran all the way down Gumiho's body from her collarbone to her leg. Not only was blood seeping out, the wound itself was pulsing and bubbling angrily. Ea felt sick just looking at the wound. She placed a shaking hand on Gumiho's head and stroked those fox ears, trying to give some comfort. Gumiho's head felt burning hot despite the fact that the fox girl was shivering uncontrollably.

"Oh Gumiho… You pushed me aside when that blood hell hit. I … I will never forgive myself if, if you…"

Ea's words trailed away and choked up in her mouth. She really couldn't bear the thought. The thought that Gumiho might die and she would lose her forever constricted her heart in a cold grip. The pain and fear was so sharp Ea gasped out in agony, tears filling her eyes. She suddenly realised very painfully just how precious and important the fox girl was now to her. Ea resolved that if they got through this, she would be honest to Gumiho..

Dionysus noted Ea's extreme distress quietly and took action. She slapped a hand on Ea's back.

"Hey, don't you worry! Gumiho is a tough gal. Me and Nyx will have her patched up in no time! Here, you are shivering too. Drink this, it will help warm you up."

Dionysus pressed a glass of wine into Ea's hands and before Ea could protest or refuse, had tipped her head back and emptied the wine down Ea's throat. Ea swallowed in spite of herself and grimaced.

"Uuurrggg *hack* What is this wine! It tastes awful! *cough cough cough* … eh?"

Ea suddenly saw two Gumihos before her, and even that image was starting to waver. The entire room seemed to be swirling around lazily and the glass dropped from her slackened fingers. Dionysus caught the glass quickly and then caught Ea as well as her legs gave out beneath her.

"I am sorry Ea, you are too distraught right now, and after we tend to Gumiho, we need to look at your wounds too. Just sleep dear, everything will be alright…"

Ea tried to fight against the dizziness and creeping darkness. But it was a losing battle and soon she faded away and slumped unconscious into Dionysus's arms…
