IT'S ALIVE! (Hehehehehe)
I must say. The last chapter seemed to play out nicely. I understand if some of you don't prefer lemons, so I will try to space them out and warn you ahead of time if there is going to be a lemon. There is no in lemon in this chapter (and if you are only reading this for the lemons, I still highly suggest you read this chapter).
My update concludes that I have been very busy. I am still waiting for some ideas for FictionPress, I have an idea but I would like more.
Disclaimer: I hate doing this. It reminds me every time I right a fan fiction that I'm not as awesome as I want to be (who wouldn't want to be the author of a super cool book?)
It has come to my realization that some of the guests that read my fanfic do not like this story. I understand how some of you are mad about how this story isn't following normal Monster High story plot lines. I apologize in advance if there is any disappointment. This story is based around Deuce, a character from Monster High, and Retna, a character in which I created. We don't hear much from Deuce's past in the Monster High series, and I do this fanfic to really emphasize what his past was like. I am sorry if you do not like this story because I do not follow normal Monster High protocol, and I am sorry if you do not like how I have had Deuce and Retna hook up. Please except my apology, and if you are hoping that Deuce and Cleo will get back together in the end, I am very sorry to say that I do not foresee them getting back together.
Well enough with the Debby Downer, its time for chapter 11!
Chapter 11
"Uh, Deuce?" Retna whispered. They were at the base of the steps of the front of the school. Walking had been a little hard for Retna, especially when she had to have Deuce help her off of his bike.
"Ya?" Deuce stopped walking up the steps. He immediately saw Retna's problem and rushed to her aid. "Here put your arm around my waist." Deuce helped Retna up the stairs; Retna only winced a few times.
Retna was still a little shaky but walked as normal as possible. It had been almost a year since she had done that, and her past boyfriends were nothing like Deuce. As the entered the school, whispers erupted around them. Retna wasn't able to pick out any of them, but she didn't care. Suddenly an Amber scented body flew past Retna and crashed into Deuce.
"I'm so sorry Deuce! I should never have left you! You were right, you were always right!" Cleo was clutching onto Deuce, practically squeezing the air out of him. "Please forgive me!"
Retna started to see red. She grabbed Cleo's shoulder and hauled her off of Deuce. Cleo let out a startled squeak before realizing who it was.
"Oh, its you. Your Deuce's friend from Greece. I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot yesterday. Any way, if you don't mind I need to talk with my boyfriend."
"Your boyfriend? If I remember correctly, you two broke up. And if you dare call Deuce your boyfriend again…" Retna threatened.
"We had a little spat; we have those all the time. It is natural for couples to disagree at some point. And it's not as if you had a claim on him any way."
"Actually Cleo, Retna and I are now a couple." Deuce spoke up.
"What?" Cleo's face looked confused, but then outrage filled her facial features. "HER?! You pick a FREAK over ME?! How-how-how could you pick HER," Cleo spat out like it was poison, "over me?"
"It's easy," Retna answered, "he loves me. Not you!"
"Oh, really?" Cleo turned her attention back to Deuce. "Mark my words Deuce Gorgon, we are not over. We are over when I say we are over."
"Technically, you were the one to dump him, Cleo." Draculaura and Clawdeen came out of no-where.
"Now I say we are not over! I will have you again Deuce. Don't you forget it!" Cleo stormed off down the hall.
Retna and Deuce stared at the spot which, only a few moments ago, occupied Cleo. Deuce picked up Retna's book bag and slung it over his shoulder. He offered her his hand, and she gratefully took it. And they started off towards Retna's first period.
Cleo POV
"How dare she?!" I was walking along the corridors in the catacombs. "That Freak stole Deuce! Everyone knows that Deuce and I are meant to be together!" I was furiously working on a plane to get Deuce back. Our relationship before was great, sure it was based off of sex, but it was still a great relationship.
I quickly glanced at my phone. They were 10 minutes late. I was about to leave when…
"Darling Cleo, what a purrrrrfect surprise." Toralei stepped out of the shadows with the Werecat sisters close behind.
"You're late." Cleo stated bluntly.
"Truly sorry. You mentioned in your letter something about the new girl."
"Yes, I wouldn't normally ask you for this but I need your help. The new Freak has stolen Deuce from me and I want him back. However, he is too caught up with her to remember why he loved me."
"Revenge on the new girl, hmmmm. I like that. We will listen to your plan, but let me make this very clear; this does not make us friends."
"Why of course, Toralei, I wouldn't dream of it." Cleo stated, emphasizing the "dream" part.
"Purrrrfect, now what is your plan?"
"It's going to start like this…"
Back to our favorite couple
Class went extremely well. Cleo wasn't in Home Ick today, so it made hanging out with Deuce so much easier for Retna. After class, Deuce walked her to her third period class. When they made it near her door, Deuce pulled her aside and gave her a long, very long, make out session. They only broke apart when they saw Draculaura standing by the door with a giant smirk on her face.
"Let's go, Retna. Class is gonna start, and I am pretty sure Deuce doesn't want to be late for his next period. Give him one more kiss; you will see him at lunch."
"Alright," Retna turned towards Deuce, "I don't want you to go."
"It is only for one period."
"I miss you already!" Retna whined.
"But I haven't even left yet?"
"Too bad, I guess you are just going to have to stay here." Retna gave a quick peck to Deuce's lips. "Fine. Get to class." She pushed Deuce away laughing. After one more kiss, she practically skipped back into class. Deuce always had that affect on her. She was always really happy after she had been hanging around him all day. Draculaura didn't say anything as the happy Colour sat down for class.
~~Time Passing~~
"Finally, school is done!" Retna let out a sigh of relief. "We can finally go home!" Deuce let out a short laugh. The boys defiantly pointed out his love bite after school, good thing Retna stayed after because she had to ask a teacher some questions, other wise she would have been sitting there for a while. Clawd was the first to spot out the bruise. His reaction was hilarious, and Heath was defiantly checking Retna out as Deuce met her at the base of the stairs. The new kid, the son of Hounds of Hell, was a new addition to the team and it was fun playing with him.
"So anxious to get home, I see." Deuce teased her.
"I am just really hungry. Do you think your mom has dinner made?" It was nearing half past five, and Deuce's own tummy was starting to make noises.
"Probably, let's hurry home and find out." Deuce ran the rest of the distance to his bike and hopped on. He gave Retna his spare helmet and he strapped his on. He revved his engine twice before streaking off. Soon he was driving at a speed so fast, that objects around them began to blur from the speed. Retna had to close her eyes to keep the wind out of them.
Within minutes, Deuce had pulled into his parent's property and parked his bike. The front lawn looked freshly mowed and the hedge seemed shorter to Retna. The gardeners must have trimmed it. The walked through the house and made their way to the dinning room. Retna only saw a few of the house staff as they walked throughout the house. Soon Deuce and Retna were at a pair of french doors.
"Mr. and Mrs. Gorgon are eating supper out on the back lawn today Sr. Gorgon. Would you prefer me to announce your arrival?" A man, about mid forties, greeted us. "Here, let me take your things." He held out his hands and we gave him our book bags. Balancing them in one hand, the older man opened the two doors. "Announcing Sr. Gorgon and his guest Miss Colour."
The out door dinning area was beautiful. Orchid and rose petals were scattered across the crisp whit table cloth. Four candle stands were placed in the center of the long table, giving off a soft glow. Mr. Gorgon and Mrs. Gorgon were both seated at the end of the table, slowly chewing on some food. When Mrs. Gorgon finished her chewing she looked up.
"How was your day today, darling?"
"It was great!" Deuce let go of Retna's hand, which Retna didn't realized he had grabbed a hold of, and went to go give a kiss on his mother's cheek. "Mom, Dad, this is Retna Colour. She was hoping she could stay here for a few days."
"Darling, I hope it isn't any inconvenience that I had already said it was alright." Mrs. Gorgon asked her husband.
"Of coarse it isn't. Any friend of Deuce is a friend of the family, well besides that De Nile girl, she is the devil herself." Retna smiled at Deuce's accuracy at describing Cleo. "Come, come dear. You must be hungry." He clapped his hands once, alerting the two maids near the door. "Gather two more plates of dinner, and then bring out dessert."
The two maids nod and then disappear into the house. Two more appeared with two plates covered by a metal serving cover. Once the plates were in front of Deuce and Retna, the covers were lifted. It was a garden veggie soufflé with an herb garnish. Surrounding it was different sauces, obviously dipping sauces. Remembering her manners, Retna thanked the hosts and slowly started to eat. She remembered to pace herself and not gobble down the food. As she put the first piece into her mouth, an explosion of flavor erupted on her tongue. The meal was not only spicy, but it was sweet. It had a salty flavor to it as well; this immediately became Retna's favorite dish.
Soon after she had begun eating, two maids followed by a third, came out with a serving cart. The first went to Mr. Gorgon. They showed off a variety of deserts, starting with the cheese cake. Retna couldn't see the entire cart, only the top. Soon Mr. Gorgon went with a slice of cheese cake with a cranberry top. Mrs. Gorgon picked out a bowl of fruit soup, with little blueberries bobbing on the surface. The cart swung around the table and then appeared in front of Retna.
"Choose anything that looks appetizing to you, dear." Mrs. Gorgon said.
"Thank you." Retna replied as her eyes wandered to the cart. It had three layers, each layer consisting of three different types of desert. On the top level there was cheese cake, carrot cake, and sponge cake. Each cake had some sort of fruit toping on top of it. The sponge cake had chocolate shavings decorating it. The second level held, not one but three, types of puddings, two flavors of ice cream, and small plates of cookies. And last on the third level there were the soups, it looked as if there were four different types of soups; there were chocolate, fruit, banana, and lime. Along with the soups there were slices of pie; raspberry, strawberry, and apple pie. Retna's mouth watered at the sight of the apple pie. "May I have the apple pie?"
"Of coarse." The maid replied softly. She bent down and served the apple pie to Retna. The pie had a whipped cream topping and small sprinkles of cinnamon. Taking her desert fork, Retna took a small bite. It was as close to heaven as Retna has ever been. The apples were crisp and gave of a clear taste, the cinnamon was subtle but still noticeable, and the whipped cream topping was light and fluffy. It was overall the best desert Retna has had in a long time.
Deuce picked out a bowl of orange sherbet, and was soon devouring it. Desert only lasted for a few more minutes before Deuce and Retna were dismissed for homework. The made their way up the grand staircase, though Retna's movements were slowed because of all the food that she ate.
"Wow, who ever cooks your food is amazing!" Retna exclaimed as she plopped down onto Deuce's bed. Someone, during the day, had opened Deuce's balcony door and put a bowl of bird seeds out for Nightmare. Also their bags have been delivered to his room.
"I know, she has always made the best food. Her name is Mrs. Cavane; Dad hired her a while back." Deuce explained as he plopped down next to Retna.
"Well she is defiantly a good cook; I wish my parents would hire her." Retna rolled onto her side. "Now don't bother me, I'm tired and I want to sleep." Deuce chuckled deeply into Retna's ear.
"Alright, but I can't promise that I can keep my hands off of you forever."
"Ha ha ha, well you are gonna have to try."
"Fine, sleep." Deuce then laid a soft kiss to Retna's temple.
Well isn't Cleo a bitch? Any way… I wonder what her plan is (*devil smile*). I can't wait to see it all progress.
