Author's Note:

Hey everyone, sorry it's taken a bit to update, I kinda got in a jam and ideas wouldn't come to me, plus recently a lot of my family as been requesting me to do home projects so I'll be busy with that and my regular day job ;u; Hopefully I can get the ideas flowing again and have enough time to update.

So, thank you so much for your patience and here's chapter 9, I hope you all enjoy *bows*


For the life of her she couldn't get to sleep.

Brittany's body is screaming for the peaceful nothingness of sleep but her mind is wired, she can't drift off no matter what she tries. The chipette has tried tossing and turning, trying different positions and kicking her covers off one leg at a time, tried turning her pillow to the cool side, tried counting sheep, still nothing.

An exasperated sigh escapes her lips and she drapes her arm over her burning eyes, ignoring the soft stirring of her sisters in their beds, well, not really their beds, they're still at the Sevilles' house hold, bunking in guest beds who's mattresses aren't the softest and who's blankets reek of faint traces of dust.

It's not the bed that's bothering Brittany however, in fact she could block those two factors out quest easily, the thing that's nagging at her mind, and has been nagging at her body slowly, is the soft burning sitting just beneath her skin.

It's not painful, it's more annoying and itchy than anything else, and the sensation makes her mind throb dully, almost as if there was the beginning of a headache sitting behind her temples.

Huffing she kicks off her blankets, maybe if she walked around…Brittany carefully tiptoes from the room, running the tips of her fingers along the wall as she slowly makes her way down the unfamiliar hallway and into the kitchen, she freezes halfway there however, spotting Simon at the counter, face alight in white light that emanates from the laptop placed before him.

He hasn't seen her yet.

Swallowing she turns to head back to bed, not wanting to explain why she can't sleep, she should be exhausted after everything that's happened today and she didn't want to be questioned.

"Alvin, stop it," She frowns narrowing her eyes, Alvin was awake too?

She tenses slightly as said munk appears from around the wall, something small dangling from his hand, the creature squirms and squeaks desperately, clawing helplessly at his hand.

"What? I'm just holding it….did you find anything out about that guy?" Alvin leans over his brother's shoulder to read the screen, golden eyes glossed over with white, she can barely see the black text in the reflection of his eyes.

"Nothing we didn't already know, Charles Swine is a independent researcher known for his studies on genetics and genetic mutations, in his first experiment he created a mouse that completely relies on a meat only diet, it would hunt it's own kind and kill them, and once the other mice were dead this mutant mouse would move onto bigger prey, ultimately it died from wounds sustained from a fight with a rat, it had killed three other rats before this one killed it," Simon adjusts his glasses, leaning away from his brother as he eyes the small wiggling creature.

"Just kill it, those things are annoying,"

Alvin leans away from his sibling and shrugs his shoulders, "So Swine was into making rodents killers huh? That explains why he went with chipmunks next huh? Anything else about his later experiments?"

Brittany's ears and eyes strain and she cautiously moves a few steps closer, finally seeing what the tiny thing is.

It's body is that of a rats but it's fur is an unnaturally bright red, and it's tail is thin as a whip, the tip ends in a spade shape and in place of it's eyes are flames.

She covers her mouth as she feels horror settle in her stomach, a lower demon…..in the house with them?!

She knew from a few classes that lower demons aren't too much trouble, but any demon is bad, and even the smallest of ones can cause major problems.

Simon rolls his eyes and types away at the keyboard as Alvin tips his head back and drops the rat-like creature into his mouth, swallowing the thing whole.

Her stomach churns and she bites down on her fist to hold back a disgusted gag as his throat bugles as it slides down and into his stomach, "I wish you wouldn't do that, it's unhealthy, here…." Simon pushes away from the counter and crosses the kitchen to open the fridge as Alvin moves over to peer at the laptop, his tongue darting out to lick at his lips as he narrows his eyes thoughtfully.

So it's true…Protectors are nothing but weaker versions of demons jammed into a body that resembles her kind…Dr. Swine said most mutants were weaker versions of supernatural creatures, so then what are her and her sisters?

She drops her paws to her side, opening and closing her fists as she squeezes her eyes shut. She could be a demon for all she knew, or a vampire, a banshee even, maybe she got lucky and is part nymph? No…the doctor told her why she and her sisters were turned into these things, it was to fight off the monsters running amuck, which means that they wouldn't have used any peaceful creatures…

"Damn…." Her attention is drawn back to the two brothers as Simon finishes off a glass of juice, his dark blue eyes locked on Alvin who was running a paw through his already ruffled hair, "Dammit" He turns away from the screen and rubs at his jaw, golden eyes pinched at the edges as Simon moves forward to read.

"…..This can't be true can it?" Simon rubs at his nose, pushing his glasses up with the action as he looks to his brother for reassurance, "Surely they wouldn't have done that…they wouldn't have survived,"

"It has to be something they overheard, I don't think there's anyway they could do this…..it says they did it to a few in this batch, I doubt the girls…."

Simon shakes his head slowly, "We don't know…..these…..creatures all have varying powers, we only have human tales and myths to help us determine if these creatures' genetic material and blood was fused with the girls', it might not even be true, they could've just had some abilities given to them, that's possible too,"

Alvin rubs his forehead, "But if this report is true, then that means we'll be dealing with more than just those damned creatures out there, we'll with dealing with them in here too, we need to be careful…I don't know what they did to us, or what they did to the others, but if this report is a faction of the truth, then we may be dealing with a horde of mutated supernatural beings,"


That couldn't be true, whatever they read is probably a false report or some story…..how'd they even get a hold of those reports anyways?

Brittany shudders under her blankets, she was never getting to sleep now.


Short chapter is short Dx I'll probably be posting another chapter tonight.

So….the boys discovered something a bit troubling, they found a report that came from the labs Dr. Swine worked in, the guy who made the mutants, and what they read was this.

Dr. Swine took some very powerful beasts and just combined them together with a few other beasts, then pretty much stuffed these freak genetics and blood and what not into normal very day people, so…..we have some strong mutant supernatural creatures on the lose who look like average everyday people.

Brittany and her sisters might be some of those people.

Have any questions? Have any guesses as to what mythical/supernatural creatures the girls are? Let me know in a review! :D I'll be answering questions in future author's notes so don't be afraid to ask, you'll get answers :)

Thank you for reading!
