Author's Note:
Crap another author's note! I've decided that sense this story's coming to a close I'll go ahead and take over the top of the page, sorry theme song!
So far it looks like you all want a sequel, and thus I shall give you a sequel! Just I have no idea when I'll start it after then one ends, might be a day, a week, probably a week at the most. Also I plan on still using your OCs so I doubt I'll need any new ones.
Any who thanks to everyone who's been reading and reviewing if it weren't for you peoples I never would've stayed with the story!
Read on.
Within the depths of the earth lays a grand decaying structure, hundreds of demons mill about its base looking rather busy. Within the walls of the building in a massive ball room in five huge stone thrones sits five massive strange unearthly beings.
Sitting upon the biggest and most grand throne is the highest demon of the five currently taking refuge in the room Chaos, a terrifying flaming skeleton dressed elegantly in a samurai suit of armor, at his side is a massive sword sheathed and waiting for battle.
Sitting to his right is the second highest demon, a large bulky man dressed in a deep blue shirt with dark pants, his head however isn't that of a man, but a full bodied octopus, its gray tentacles curled about each other forming a neat slimy beard laying on the man's chest, he is none other than Damnation, protruding from the Overlords back are two giant bat-like wings, his hands resting in his lap are webbed with long claws acting like fingernails.
To Chaos' left is a fat pig like creature dressed rather neatly in an old green suit, the front has dribbles of saliva and food that had fallen from its messy snout filled with sharp jagged teeth, his chair is the widest accustom to his heavy weight, his name matches his appearance, the pig like demon is known as Greed, becoming fat over the years as humans have grown more greedy for new things and knowledge.
Lounging back against his chairs back beside Greed is a human like dog, vaguely resembling a lean werewolf; its fur is a bright brilliant flame hunger to devour and burn anyone and anything that draws close, it's the only Overlord that doesn't wear clothes, long sharp fangs protrude from his lips showing even when his muzzle is closed, cold unfeeling coal black eyes sharply keep track of the others as if he doesn't trust them as far as he can throw them, Sin is the father of all Hell Hounds.
Last in the group is a stunning elegant woman, perched lightly in her own throne beside Damnation, long dark locks tumbling about her small frame, her appearance has changed drastically over the years due to man kinds different views of beauty, she's perfectly flawless liquid green eyes easily able to capture any mortal man's heart, she's proudly known as Lust.
"This is going to be a close one; I wonder if old Death can handle Astaroth, he's grown strong since his mortal form died," Chaos' thick growling ruff voice sounding filled with rage as his empty sockets scan the other Overlords curiously.
"I doubt Death will be defeated, he's Death after all," Damnation points out large oval eyes half open, Greed snorts heavily and yawns, "Astaroth is far more powerful," the pig points out confidently.
"What are you going to start placing bets?" Lust's voice fills the air like melted honey, thick yet sweet, "Why not?" Sin barks eyes gleaming with a cold humor, "I'm running low on money, now Greed don't be a hog either," the huge Hell Hound howls in amusement at his own joke.
Chaos shakes his head thin lips pulled in a sideways snicker, "If you want to place bets I'm not one to be beaten," the Overlord growls out despite his cheeky grin.
"You're all foolish at the worst times," Damnation chuckles, Lust simply watches the four males with a soft frown marring her perfect features, her lover and daughter's lives are at risk, even though Death is more concerned about Eve than anything, not even taking into consideration his aging body which is much more fragile than it used to be.
She suddenly remembers the boys, the sons of Astaroth, the ones destined to save them, yet destroy them, ones that have been so tainted in their childhood that the stains have reached their very souls, they're ticking time bombs, there's no telling when they'll go off.
Brittany frowns ears twitching to try and catch the sound of her friend and partner which she had forced to wear a maid's outfit; well actually, he had gone through with it due to the fear of being beaten to a pulp by Eve.
"Alvin?" Brittany calls electric blue eyes troubled when she receives no response, is he mad at her? She questions herself biting her bottom lip nervously at the thought.
The auburn furred chipette notices a door slightly ajar and timidly inches closer curiously reaching out a paw to push it open a little further, her gaze immediately lands on the dark silhouette standing near an open window, a soft breeze tickles her nose and plays with her bangs as she watches him, unsure whether to make her presence known or wait until he notices her.
Deciding to make the first move Brittany slinks inside easily stepping silently into the room, cautious electric blue eyes locked on the rodent leaning against the wall by the wide open window, the soft breeze carries the moist promise of rain and a hint of his bold natural scent that reminds her faintly of soft but present cologne.
He listens to her paws as they lightly fall against the carpet carrying her closer and closer to him, he turns and their eyes meet, her face open in surprise at being caught, her breath catching waiting for his reaction.
A slow easy smirk stretches across his face golden eyes lazily regarding her in the low light, "You can't sneak up on a regular chipmunk, let alone a demon chipmunk," he informs her easily.
She puffs out her cheeks and walks up to the window, peering out her eyes widen a fraction upon noting how high up they are, "Whoa," she takes a cautious step back resting a paw on the window sill a small smile on her face, Alvin snorts a laugh under his breath as she cranes her neck over the window sill again.
"So why did you come and find me?" Brittany blinks turning her attention to the chipmunk beside her, watching her evenly with nothing but curiosity in his eyes.
Brittany's shoulders move up in a half shrug, "I felt guilty about making you wear that, so I guess I came to say sorry,"
"You guess?"
Brittany huffs, "I'm sorry ok? That was mean, but funny so it's not as bad if everyone else got a laugh out of it," she points out quickly making Alvin arch an eyebrow.
He leans in close quickly invading her personal space, golden orbs smoldering into hers and she suddenly realizes the hints of copper and soft almost invisible glints of black, maybe some deep browns too, his breath mixes with hers fanning across her lips and cheeks causing Goosebumps to rise along her arms, he tilts his head like a curious puppy eyes wide and almost innocent if it weren't for the intense almost predatory gleam within his pupils, completely dominating the deep black.
"You're sorry," it wasn't a question, and she nods swiftly hoping he'd take the hint and back off, even though her heart is beating rapidly urging her closer, her mind panicking telling her to leave, fast.
He studies her closely, what had caused him to lean in this close was pure curiosity, does she feel the same urge to protect like he does her? To always make sure the other is happy and safe? Does she crave to hold him like he does her? No, she can't, she doesn't, after all how can she care for something that has the blood of a monster she's only known how to kill, not love.
Love? Does he love her? Is this why he's stayed so close, the reason he didn't want to leave the protected city and move on like all the other times before, stay a week at the most, eat, rest, and move on. This time was different, she's different, the thick headedness he sees in himself, to protect her siblings, to always state her opinion, to stand in front of demons even if she doesn't stand a chance, and to not want to play damsel in distress the whole time.
Brittany barely breathes as he moves even closer, eyes slowly closing just before she feels his hot mouth gently touch hers, she freezes, body locking in place not daring to move, her brain not registering the fact that his freaking lips are on hers!
However she's quickly jostled back to reality when he growls in frustration, his paws coiling fast around her head pulling her closer so there's nothing between them, her heart races trying to keep up with her emotions as her eyes flutter close and she responds, inching up onto her tip toes to try and meld their mouths closer together; his lips are burning, hot yet moist as his fingers knot themselves into her fur making her almost purr in pleasure as her own find the collar of his hoody clinging to him as if he might rip away any second.
He can't help but grin as she responds, eagerly clutching at his hoody to hold him in place, her mouth is soft and sweet, her breath gently tickling his nose, her sweet scent of blossom perfume and the faint lingering scent of chocolate making him light headed, suddenly she pulls back jerking him back, his eyes shoot open to see her flushed expression, panting, how long had they been kissing? Not more than a few seconds right?
"A-Alvin?" his heart sinks at the frightened confusion in her bright electric blue eyes, she doesn't understand, of course she wouldn't, he feels a tight pain in his chest and he hates it.
He quickly locks their lips once again wanting to drown the heart wrenching pain in her soft form and sweet scent, Brittany responds immediately her arms coiling around his neck this time, his own wrapping firmly around her waist as he works his tongue between her lips catching the Chipette off guard if only for a second before she timidly responds to his bold move.
Alvin purrs happily as her tongue cautiously rubs against his, he quickly begins to teach her, dominating her in a matter of seconds and stealing her breath with every hot puff of air that escapes his lips, his fingers dig into her back drawing a soft moan from the Chipette against him, his mind suddenly jumps to attention and he slowly withdraws holding her firmly against him.
"You can tell me anything, you know that right?" he gasps as her forehead rests against his, the fear quickly dominating the kiss laden haze, she buries her face in his neck her fingers knotting into his fur, "I'm scared, I-I don't think I can protect them," she whispers her throat tightening as she inhales his scent.
His paws begin to work soothing circles on her back, his chin resting on her head, "Britt, you're strong, don't think like that, we'll all make it trust me, I won't let anything happen to you, Simon and Theodore will make sure that nothing happens to Jeanette or Eleanor, I promise," he hushes.
"Why?" he shakes his head smiling softly, "I know they won't admit it, but I will, I-I think I love you,"
"You think?"
He chuckles as she pulls back to smile sweetly at him, "I love you, happy?"
"Hmmmmm, yeah," she laughs.
The earth suddenly rumbles, the sky exploding with a burst of bright blinding white light, the earth quakes beneath the house rattling the old frame as thunder booms overhead, heavy fast rain pounding like bullets against the roof, the cold liquid taking advantage of the open window and slamming inside.
Alvin swiftly lunges forward smashing the window closed, just as lightening tears across the now pitch black sky, illuminating his wide golden eyes dancing across his fiery russet fur, high-lightening the planes of his face, he turns just as thunder shakes the house again his wide eyes meeting his partners' in the dancing darkness, "I think Dad's here," he whispers.
I SUCK AT KISS SCENES! You may pelt me with cans, go on, do it! *mopes in a corner*
I was planning to have some action in this chapter but it seems I've lied to myself, and I wanted it to be longer, but it seems my laziness has gotten the best of me, along with studying for stupid finals…..I swear on all that is furry there SHALL be action in the next chapter! *epic pose*
So long, I'm going to go hide under my covers and wait for sleep.
