Hey guys... Please don't kill me!?
Sorry for such a long wait! My life has gotten a lot busier since the last time I've updated.
There have been three main reasons for my absence. One, School, two, work, and three an Internship.
Yes! I'm very excited about that last one especially. I've gained an internship at an Art gallery. I am an aspiring art student so I am very excited to be working in one.
That being said, some of you may ask, If you are an art student why doesn't your story have a cover art yet! Well, rest assured! That will change eventually! As soon as I come up with one. You'll
Be able to see how Genko
Actually looks! You know,
If that kinda thing excites you.
This chapter is kinda short, but don't worry, the next one is coming out soon.
Anyway enough of my rambling, and apologies for the long wait.
Welcome! To the next chapter of "A Black Fox"! Thanks for staying with me!
Chapter 11
"Ack! Okay! Okay! You're not a pedo! Stop chocking me!" I chocked out, trying desperately to pry Alice's tail away from my throat. It was holding me up off the ground, and throughly cutting off my air supply. After our little shouting match, things escalated rather quickly and we had a bit of a scuffle, and well, I lost.
"Hmph. And don't forget it." Alice huffed in victory, finally releasing my neck from her clutches. She dropped me on the ground, leaving me to rub my abused throat.
"Oww...Hm?" I paused in my agony filled groans to find the little goblin girl I saved walk up to me nervously, eyes wide in concern.
"Are you okay ?" She spoke shyly.
"Yeah, I just need some time to recover." I scowled at the smug Alice a little ways away. "Damn pedo..." I muttered under my breath.
"What was that?" She flicked her tail menacingly.
"Nothing! Nothing!" I quickly amended, putting distance between us.
"Hmph." Alice crossed her arms and looked away from me, and I resumed glaring at her back.
'I only agreed so she'd stop chocking me, but it's clear she's in denial. I'll be keeping an eye on her. I will not allow another Alma to be born! This, I swear!' I thought to myself with conviction, before noticing the little goblin girl shifting nervously from foot to foot.
"Hey, are you okay?" I asked her gently. She was nearly violated after all.
"Oh! Ohm, I'm fine!" She yelled, with a bright red face.
"You sure? Your face is red, are you sick?" I asked with concern, putting a hand against her forehead.
"I-I... No! I'm n-not... I'm fine Ms. Fox." She stuttered out, her face seemingly getting redder as she spoke. She glanced down at the ground, hiding her face.
I frowned mentally.
'She's really shy huh?'
"Genko." I stated.
"H-huh?" She looked up at me in confusion.
"My name. It's Genko. What's yours?" I asked the young goblin, and her eyes shined with understanding. She calmed down somewhat and answered.
"G-Goblina. My friends call me Gobby. Thank you for saving me Ms. Genko." She bowed her head to me.
"Ah! Don't worry about it there's no need to bow! Also, please don't call me 'Ms.' it makes me feel old."
I'm not much of a stickler for formality. I don't like to be addressed so highly, well, outside of the bedroom at least.
"Then... can I call you Big sis?" Goblina asked shyly, playing with her fingers.
"Uh... If that's what you want, Goby." Odd, but hey, whatever makes her happy.
"Yes! Thank you Big sis!" She sent me a beaming smile, one of her pointy teeth proudly poking out between her lips.
"Your welcome?" I patted her head with a confused smile.
...
...
No One's Pov
"And you have the nerve to call me a pedophile..." Alice commented, glancing at the lovestruck Goblina and the dense Genko, with a scathing eye.
'How dare she even think something like that? Me? Another Alma? Ridiculous. No one can be that far gone.' The monster lord thought balefully, disgusted by the mere thought that she could be on the same level as the Succubus Queen.
'Plus, I don't even like that little idiot! He's just some optimistic brat with a hero complex.' As the monster lord continued to rant internally, her ears picked up some distant muttering coming from the entrance to the cave.
"Hm?" Slithering closer to the entrance, Alice spotted a young lamia poorly hidden by the cave, talking to herself.
"Is it safe yet? They aren't shouting anymore, but that could just mean that one of them killed the other one! I heard gurgling earlier, maybe one of them was choking on blood! Oh man, Goby is out there! What if they did something to her!? Oh no! I have to save her! But I'm so scared!" The tiny lamia continued to work herself into a panic, unaware of the Alice approaching her until it was too late.
"What are you doing?" She asked impassively and the little monster turned around in shock seeing the very object of her current fear right behind her.
"AAAAHHHH!"
...
...
Meanwhile, further into the cave, Luka and a young, blond, vampire could be found facing off, before both heard the piercing screech roar through the cave.
"What the heck was that!?" The young hero looked around in a panic, trying to find the source of the scream.
"Whatever! Just look at me already!" The loli vampire shouted, aggravated at being ignored.
"Yeah, no." Luka deadpanned, not even turning in her direction.
"Gah! You meanie!"
...
...
"Oh, great. You attacked another one. You seriously need help." Genko commented dryly, eying the tiny lamia passed out on the ground with foam leaking out of her mouth.
"For the last time, I am not a-"
"Lamie!" Alice's retort was cut off by Goblina rushing towards her fallen friend. "Are you okay?" She asked worriedly, kneeling down next to her.
"..." The little lamia was unresponsive.
"What did you do to her!?" Goblina shouted, glaring at Alice with teary eyes.
Alice honestly felt bad for distressing the young goblin, but she'd never let it show. Her pride is much to large for that.
"I didn't do anything. She just passed out on her own."
"Yeah, and that's 'foam' leaking out if her mouth..." Genko muttered under her breath.
What the Monster lord will show however, is the her volcanic rage at that comment. Genko could sense it too, if the 'I fucked up' look on her face is any indication.
"Genko." Alice whispered, deathly quiet.
"Y-Yes!?" The half-blood squeaked.
"I haven't had fox in quite a while, you know."
That was enough to shut the girl up, and make her back far away from the irate monster lord.
"S-sorry! I went to far..."
"Don't let it happen again."
Alice turned her attention away from the frightened kitsune, to gaze at the young goblin fretting over her friend.
"Lamie..." The little monster had tears springing up in her eyes.
Watching the scene silently, the monster lord felt guilt crawl up her tail.
'Even though I didn't do anything...' She thought with bit of annoyance.
"Haa..." Alice sighed, deciding to be nice for once. "Move. Let me have a look at her."
"No way! You'll eat her!" Goblina glared, holding her friends limp body close.
"I'm not going to eat her, I'm going to heal her with magic." Alice deadpanned.
"I don't believe you!"
"..."
Genko observed the two go at it, before deciding to intervene. She laid a hand on Goblina's head, making her look up.
"It's alright Goby. Alice won't hurt your friend. Even if she looks scary." Genko smirked, and Goblina blushed.
"O-okay if you say so..." Goblina, hesitantly lowered her head towards Alice, and asked her for help. "Please help my friend..."
'You charm little girls, yet I'M the pedophile?' Alice thought with a twitching eyebrow, as she set to healing the downed lamia.
...
In a matter of seconds, the tiny lamia was stirring, holding her head as she looked around confusedly.
"W-where am I... What happened?"
"Lamie!"
"ACK!" Lamie grunted as Goblina tackled her into an energetic glomp, wailing into her shoulder.
"You're okay! I thought the mean lady killed you!"
"Huh? What mea-" Lamie trailed off as she caught sight of the Genko and Alice. The two older girls were watching the interaction silently, with small smiles on their faces.
"AHH! Goby! We have to run!" Lamie yelled in fear, jumping up, and desperately clutching onto Goby.
"Why?" Goblina asked, confused by her friends sudden actions.
"Because they'll kill us!" Lamie shrieked.
"No they won't-" Goblina paused "Well, Big sis won't, Pedo snake might."
""P-PEDO SNAKE!?"" The two older monsters yelled out for two different reasons. One out of outrage, the other with failure to contain her laughter.
"Pffft! P-pedo Snake! That's priceless!" Genko practically roared with laughter, rolling around on the ground with tears in her eyes, pounding the earth with her fists.
"Stop... Laughing..." Alice growled out a warning at her friend.
"S-see Alice?" Genko continued, ignoring the imminent danger. "E-even ones as young as they are can see that it is a p-problem! You need to change this lifestyle, b-before it's to late!" She preached, stuttering over a word every so often do to laughing.
Alice just stood there shaking, deathly quiet like an unnerving calm before a righteous storm. Then, as if she was the first bolt of lightning, snapped up and lunged at the giggling half-breed with all the speed of a black mamba.
Genko, seeing the attack, quickly dodged out of the way. Her guard up, but she was still grinning.
"Ah! Geez Alice, don't start perving on your friends now~" Genko was on full kitsune mood now. The mischievous nature of her monster blood, blooming into fruition as she relentlessly teased her friend. "I'm afraid I've past my prepubescent stages, so I'm not quite in your strike range~"
The monster lord slowly look over to Genko, her slitted amber eyes narrowed into pools of rage as she glared at the snickering kitsune.
"I. AM. GOING. TO. EAT. YOU."
It wasn't a threat, it was a promise.
"Like you 'eat' children?" Genko gave a dirty grin.
"THAT'S IT!" Alice roared, charging after her ungrateful subject.
Genko dashed away, having enough sense to run away from the rampaging echidna.
"Oh no~ Help! The Pedo Snake is after me~" The Half-Blood whined like a damsel in distress.
"AAARRGHH!"
"See! They're crazy! Goby we have to leave! Wait no! What about Vampy and Dragy! We can't leave them alone with them! They'll die! And then there is that meanie hero! He's still in the cave!" Throughout her whole panic attack, Lamie's tail was slowly coiling around her friend with new found strength, that wasn't present when she battled the hero. It tightened around the goblin, with her frantically trying to pry off the suddenly powerful limb.
"Lamie... Your crushing me..!" Goblina gasped out. Her words falling on deaf ears as Lamie continued to panic.
"Oh, no what if they meet!? It will be a massacre! The mean hero, and the two demons! Oh, help us monster lord!"
"GENKO! GET BACK HERE!"
"No way, I like my innocence, Alma Jr.!"
"I'LL KILL YOU!"
She's a bit... 'busy' at the moment.
...
While this was going on, the vampire, having been defeated by the hero, sulked out of the cave.
"Oh man, that meanie! He should've looked at me!" The loli vampire sniffled, walking out of the cave entrance, with an sulking air.
She was unaware of the two rapidly approaching monsters.
"All had had to do was look into my eyes like this!" The vampire brought her head up in demonstration just in time to meet the furious eyes of the monster lord, the overwhelming presence making the poor girl freeze in her tracks, before falling unconscious, foam leaking out of her mouth.
Genko paused in her running to make another jab at Alice. "Victim number three huh? You seriously need to- ACK!?"
It proved to be a mistake as Alice coiled her tail around her throat, and slid the slithering appendage slowly to cover up more of her body. The tail tightened minutely, making Genko wheeze from the pressure.
"I. CAUGHT. YOU." Alice grinned maliciously, increasing the pressure. Her amber eyes gleamed with a grim promise of agony, that had the half-blood regretting her actions immediately.
Genko would've gulped, but the tail crushing her windpipe prevented that option.
"Any last words?"
"Uh... I'm sorry?"
"You will be."
"AAAAAHHHHH!"
...
Lamie was hyperventilating as she watched the horrifying scene take place in front of her. Her tail already choked out poor Goblina, leaving her to cling to the goblin's limp form like a child would a security blanket.
"AHAHAHA!" The monster lord laughed manically, a savage grin plastered on her face as took her revenge out on the black fox.
"N-No! No more! Keep those creepy tentacles away from me-AAAAGGHH!"
Lamie soon joined her friend in the realm of unconsciousness, unable to witness the spectacle any longer. The monster lord's crazed hysterics was the last thing that graced her ears before blacking out completely.
...
...
"..."
"..."
"Uhh... Alice?"
"Hmm?"
"What happened here?" Luka looked at the scene before him with a sweatdropp.
The three little monsters he 'defeated' were spread out on the ground, each unresponsive, with foam leaking out of their mouths.
"Guys!" The little dragon, the only real threat of the bandits, rushed over to her downed friends, trying to stir them awake. Sadly, no matter what she did he could not wake them.
But that wasn't the worst of it.
Nearby, lying in the dirt was the black-haired girl he met from town-or at least what was left of her.
There wasn't anything wrong with her physically, besides a few disheveled articles of clothing, and a suspicious sticky substance, but she seemed to be mentally broken. Her once bright, icy blue eyes were now dull and lifeless, staring stoically out into space. Her body twitched and shivered ever so often, as if reliving a nightmare that brought pain just from recalling it.
"How?... F-fingers... shouldn't be able... N-no m-more tentacles..." She chanted under her breath quietly, her voice hoarse and monotone.
"Oh, nothing! Just some sweet, sweet vengeance!" Alice purred, eying the mumbling girl with a triumphant grin.
The defeated girl and the glowing Alice, spoke volumes of what had gone down here; after all, Luka has experienced the same treatment from the echidna.
Luka eyed his felicitated companion wearily.
"Oookay..."
