Hello all of you awesome followers/new readers! It's ButterHunter here, back once again with yet another chapter in my story! So, brief recap, Cameron and Snowy have now 'hooked up', the three have now, more or less worked out some of the pesky problems of two girls loving the same man, and now a new person, (which if you still don't know who that was, then turn in your gamer license.) is plotting on the ruin of Cameron.
So basically an average day for these three. So enough blabbing, let's get back into the thick of it.
Chapter 19: A Fate Worse Than Death (Part 1)
Three days after the last chapter ended…
Cameron POV…
Things have been more or less back to normal by now. Susie, Snowy, and I have worked out pretty much every problem about our relationship. Now, those two don't worry about small things like giving me a kiss when the other is around. I myself was still a little self-conscious, but I actively tried to work on breaking that pesky little habit.
Everything was going pretty well today. We had just had lunch, and were now resting in the armchairs. Snowy was snuggled up right next to me, and Susie was reading one of her books in the bedroom again. Nothing out of the norm.
I sighed, closing the book I had been reading. I already read that one last week. I didn't need to read it again for a while. Snowy saw this and took full advantage of my boredom.
"Not interesting right now?" she asked, holding my hand gently. I looked down and saw the insanely cute spectacle in front of me. Her eyes… I kept getting lost in them. So warm and brown…
"What?" she said, her face getting red. That only made her even more adorable.
"Oh Notch you are so cute." I said quietly, wrapping an arm around her. Her blush got deeper at that, but she didn't try to deny it.
"Am… am I adorable?" she asked quietly. In response, I pulled out the small hand mirror I had in my bag and held it up for her to see.
"How could I not look at that face and NOT say you are adorable?" I said, smiling. Snowy just looked at the mirror for a second, before wrapping her arms around my neck.
"If I'm adorable, then what are you?" she asked, a soft smile coming to her face. I blushed at her sudden movements, but I realized that was what she wanted to happen.
"I don't know. What am I to you?" I threw right back at her. She put on a thoughtful look, though I could tell she was faking it. 'She already knows what I am to her. She's just trying to get a reaction out of me.' I thought.
"I think…" Snowy said, her hug tightening slightly, "That you can't be described. You're too good for labels."
That one got me. I wasn't expecting that. "Um…" I said. Snowy giggled at my confusion.
"I love it when you get flustered and confused, Master." Snowy said, before giving me another look. I would have said something, but I got lost looking at the turbo cute face she was giving me.
Ten seconds later, she moves forward and kisses me. I return it wholeheartedly. We have no cares in the world, we just want to be together like this, forever.
Of course, that's when Susie comes from the back room and caught us. Snowy saw her first, and quickly tried to pull away. I wasn't ready to quit just yet. But when I realized Susie was behind me, my only thought was, 'Oh shit…'
Susie didn't look upset or anything. She just winked at Snowy, and gave me a smile.
And then quickly sat down on my other side of me, hugging me. "My turn." she said. Snowy instantly understood.
"Wha…" I started, but stopped when Susie quickly kissed me. My face instantly became bright red, as the full shock of what was happening hit me like a train.
Snowy didn't try to pull me over to her yet. Instead, she hugged me, patiently waiting for her turn again.
Susie was really going at it this time. She quickly took control over the whole kiss, and I relaxed almost instantly. All I could do was gently moan in happiness in her mouth. Her tongue once again found every place that made me the most happy, and she jumped at every opportunity.
After Susie had her fun, a good five minutes later, mind you, she allowed Snowy to pull me back to her. My face was red all over again, and Snowy giggled at that. "Aww… he still gets so embarrassed by this." she teased. Both girls giggled playfully, while I simply tried to recollect my thoughts.
"Aww… maybe I can help." Snowy said, before pulling my face once more toward her. She gently kissed my lips, rubbing my back. Slowly, I relaxed again, becoming calm once more. Somehow these girls always managed to calm me, in their own unique ways. Susie was always a bit more fierce, whereas Snowy was more reserved, making sure I was happy before trying something unfamiliar to her.
Such as was the case when, ever so slowly, Snowy tried something new. She gently opened her mouth, waiting for my reaction. When I didn't do anything, she slowly kept on going, until our mouths were wide open.
Since I wanted her to be happy as well, I slowly, as to not scare Snowy, gently moved my tongue into her mouth. I could feel her becoming tense for a second, before relaxing fully, even encouraging me to do more. For the next few minutes, me and Snowy took turns, moaning into each others mouths.
Some time passed, until finally Snowy parted from my lips. My face was still rather red right now, as I had two amazingly beautiful girls by my side, both of which loved me will all their hearts.
My eyes were still closed from the kiss with Snowy, and the girls eagerly awaited my response. But I was too relaxed…
I felt myself slowly lean backward, relaxed in their arms, before I passed out.
I felt so happy…
Third person POV…
The girls looked on in anticipation for what Cameron would say, but were surprised when he started snoring quietly. "Oh… he felt asleep." Snowy said quietly.
"Aww… he looks so peaceful…" Susie said, looking at the utterly relaxed face Cameron was making.
"Maybe we should leave him for a while. Let him rest." Snowy said, standing up. Susie agreed, and together, the two of them adjourned to the bedroom.
But not even a second later than the door closed, a figure appeared in the window. The same one from the woods three days ago.
"Heh… this will be too easy." he said, smirking. All he had to do was get inside quietly, as to not alert the girls.
The man ran through all the the ideas in his head, deciding which he liked best. Normally, just destroying the house would be his preference, but today he had other ideas. 'Why simply kill them, when I could make them suffer for the rest of their lives?' he had thought earlier.
Finally, he thought of something he liked. Concentrating for a brief moment, nine blocks popped out of where they sat, leaving a 9 by nine hole in the wall. The man easily stepped through, retrieving the thick brown potion from his bag.
"Let's see how much you like this stuff." he said, before pulling the cork stopper off the bottle and stuffing the end into Cameron's mouth. Slowly, the potion drained from the bottle, until about five minutes later, the entire bottle was empty.
"Whew… maybe should've seen what the others were doing first before risking this like that." the man said, wiping the sweat off of his brow. He wasn't sweating until two minutes had passed, and he realized he would be here for a while. If he hadn't poured everything down Cameron's throat, his plan would fail. "What are they doing back there anyway?"
Even though this wasn't his first time basically ending someone's life, far from it, he didn't realized why the girls hadn't come out from the bedroom in so long. 'They're practically joined at the hip with this guy. What's keeping them so busy?' the man thought.
Not wanting to reveal that there was a stranger in this house, he instead did some fancy magic, and suddenly, the wall to the bedroom disappeared. Not really, but it became more like one way glass. The man could see what was happening back there, but anyone in the bedroom wouldn't be able to see him.
Suddenly, the man froze. Not out of fear, but more out of surprise. 'Oh… oh my. That's what it is.' he thought. No wonder the girls in the back hadn't come out to check on Cameron. They were too busy.
And what were they busy with? To put it simply…
...They were more interested in each other. More specifically, their lips.
(Because every story needs more lesbians.)
Suddenly, the man found himself with a new feeling he hadn't felt in a long while: embarrassment. The girls in the back… they were tightly lip locked together, hands running up and down each other. 'What… how… why?' he asked himself, but even he could not rewind time to find out.
5 minutes earlier…
The girls closed the door behind them, still thinking out Cameron's passed out face. They sat down on the bed, Susie trying to get back into reading her book again, but couldn't focus. Snowy just sat around, rather bored, until something came to mind.
"Umm… Mistress?" Snowy said tentatively. Susie was surprised by that, as Snowy had only called her by her name until then.
"Oh, um, yes Snowy?" Susie said, caught off guard. Snowy saw that, and immediately tried to explain herself.
"Oh, um, sorry, just… you own this house, so… that makes you my Mistress… right?" she said, blush coming to Snowy's face. For a while, neither made a sound.
"Yeah… I guess…" Susie said, sporting a small smile. Again, another awkward silence filled the room for a few seconds. "S-so anyway, what did you need?"
"Um… I just was thinking…" Snowy said, her face red. "Since… since we both love… Master, then, um… does that mean…?"
At first, Susie didn't fully understand, but then, she realized what she meant, and then her face too became full of blush. "Ohh… that…"
Yet another awkward silence filled the room. Sighing, Susie put down her book and moved to the foot of the bed, thinking.
"I mean…" Susie said, her voice full of embarrassment. "I… I wouldn't be… opposed to the idea… I mean…"
Snowy scooted over to Susie, very red at this point. "But… is it… okay? I mean… isn't it… wrong?" she asked, wringing her hands together. In response, Susie thought about it, and gently took one of Snowy's hands.
"It's only wrong if you think it's wrong. Just like us two in love with Cameron. We've all agreed that's okay, right?" Susie said, squeezing Snowy's hand.
Snowy glanced around at Susie's words, thinking it over by herself. When she looked back at her mistress, she found that Susie had taken her other hand.
Both girls held each other's hands, not speaking just yet. Slowly, both gazed into the other's eyes.
"But… if Master knows…" Snowy said, but that didn't stop her from wrapping her arms around Susie. Susie did the same, so now the two were in a small hug, slowly becoming closer and closer.
"I think that Cameron wouldn't mind. I think that he'd rather enjoy it." Susie said, holding Snowy a little bit tighter.
They became eye to eye. Close enough to feel each other's breath. Suddenly, any doubt the two had, simply disappeared. Now they only looked at each other with one feeling. Passion.
Three seconds later, they kissed. Slowly, they relaxed into each other's arms, slowly pressing closer and closer together. Soon, they started getting a bit more lewd. They were thankful that no one was seeing this. They weren't ready to show off this just yet.
Unfortunately for these two, the man from earlier was watching, entranced by the sight in front of his eyes. 'Dear me… no wonder this guy likes these two.' he thought.
Then suddenly, he remembered the side effects of the potion he had given to the sleeping Cameron. He needed to leave. Now.
So he did just that. Quickly, he jumped out the hole in the wall, and quickly replaced the blocks exactly as they had been. 'The perfect crime. No one saw me, and I got some nice memories to look back on.' he thought smugly. Quickly, he disappeared into the woods.
Oh, he would be back. He always come back. But for now, his job was done. He only wished he could stay back and watch the fireworks…
Susie POV…
'Oh Notch, this girl is a good kisser.'
That was my thoughts as I was kissing Snowy. It's no wonder why Cameron liked her so much.
For a long time, at least ten minutes, Snowy and I did nothing but make out, only pausing for the occasional breath.
Then, we heard something. It sounded like something hit the ground. We soon dismissed it as nothing, returning to kissing passionately. Five seconds later the sound played again, louder this time. I looked around, but I didn't hear anything in that time, so I once again pushed it off. But ten seconds later, the loud bump was heard again, louder than ever.
"Geez, what's going on back there?" I said irritatedly. Snowy looked mad that this was getting interrupted. I got up and opened the door, poking my head out. Nothing seemed to have fallen over.
Then, Cameron quite literally jumped out of his chair. I nearly hit my head on the door in surprise. My anger quickly turned to concern for my love. I ran out the door, leaving Snowy behind.
"Hey, where are you…" she called, before seeing where I was running to. She followed right after me, probably faster.
"Cameron? Are you alright?" I asked, seeing him in the chair. His eye were still closed, but he was sweating hard. He kept on moving in his chair.
My eyes opened wide. Only one thing made him this scared.
"Snowy, we have to wake him up." I said, my voice dead serious. Snowy looked surprised at my tone, but I didn't care. I needed Cameron to wake up.
"Cameron! It's the nightmare again! Wake up!" I called out, shaking his shoulder. He started squirming with my touch. 'Oh no… it must be really vivid this time…' I thought.
Snowy was trying her best to get Cameron up as well. She was shaking his other arm, yelling out, "Master! Wake up! Please!"
We tried, and tried, and tried. But three minutes passed by, and nothing would wake him. Even getting desperate and pinching his arm did nothing.
"Maybe…" Snowy started, fear and panic visible in her face. "Maybe if I try this…" Her hand moved up to Cameron's face, and she pinched his nose. I instantly understood, and covered his mouth. Of course, we weren't going to suffocate him. If he started changing colors, then we would let go.
His face shook even more, trying to escape something in his dreams. But soon, he ran out of breath. Now, the way he was shaking… he was coming back.
"Let go, now!" I said, seeing his face starting to turn purple. We both released at the same time, and at that moment, his eyes shot open as wide as they would go, and he nearly tipped the whole chair over on himself.
For the count of ten, no one made a sound, save from the heavy breathing Cameron was making.
Then, I stepped in close to him, gently putting a hand on his arm. "C-Cameron? Are… you okay?" I said, my voice a bit shaky. He didn't respond at first, still getting his breathing under control.
"Master?" Snowy said, equally worried, walking over to my side and kneeling down to look at Cameron. Slowly, his head turned to look at us. Only, his eyes were closed again.
And then, when his face is right in front of us, his eyes open. What I saw filled me with more fear than anything ever had in my entire life. Even the fear I felt when drowning didn't come close to this.
His eyes… they didn't have any color to them. They were gray, instead of his normal brown. But what made me scared of them was the way… the way they bored right into me. It felt like he was looking right at my very soul.
He sat there. No one moved.
Then, I said, my voice shaking, "C-C-Cameron… are you… o-okay?"
He didn't respond. Instead, he turned away, and simply leaned back into the chair. This… this was all wrong. Something had happened to my Cameron.
Snowy was afraid too, but for another reason. "*sniff sniff*... I smell something… something wrong." she said.
"What?" I asked, my eyes not leaving Cameron.
"It smells… like someone else was here. Someone… someone did something to him." Snowy said, her voice full of panic. She stood on leaned over Cameron. "Master? Can… can you hear me?"
Faster than either of us could process, Cameron's arms shot forward and roughly pushed Snowy away, hard enough to knock her over. The look on Snowy's face… she looked as if a part of her had died on the inside. Neither of us said anything for a second. 'He… he would never in a million years try to hurt either of us. Something happened.' I thought, trying to think of who would do this.
Me and Snowy tried all day to get Cameron back to normal. And the next day. And a third. And each day that passed, he seemed to lose even more color to him. After his eyes went his whole face. Then his hands. Soon, he was gray all over, even his clothes, which we didn't dare change, for fear of getting hurt, turned gray.
All of my medical books revealed nothing to me. None of the normal diseases and curses I knew of, or the books told me about, matched what was happening to Cameron. By the fourth day, I knew something had to be done, or I was afraid we would lose Cameron entirely.
"What are we going to do?" Snowy said, after giving him some water. Surprisingly, he would still drink water if we gave him some, but he would always turn down food. Sometimes he would even get violent with us, lashing out with a shove or a slap. We had to do something…
"Gah… come on…" I said under my breath, looking in one of my books for something, ANYTHING to help.
"Potion… curse… disease… GAH! Nothing is helping!" I shouted, slamming the book closed. Snowy jumped at the sudden reaction out of me. I couldn't help it. The one person in the world who I treasured most of all, and I couldn't find anything to save him. I backed up into the wall, and slid down it, putting my hands in my face.
Tears welled up in my eyes. There… there was nothing I could do. This was beyond my help. A small sob escaped me, and for a moment, I thought there wasn't anything that could save my Cameron.
Then Snowy put a hand on my shoulder. "Hey… don't cry. There's gotta be something we can do. We just have to look harder." she said. I looked up, and was surprised. I saw… confidence. Sure, I could also see lot sadness in her eyes, but she had faith in me. Faith in us.
Suddenly, I felt a whole lot more motivated. "You're… you're right. Let's keep looking." I said, grabbing onto the wall to stand.
Snowy's eye got wide. "Nononono! That's…" she said, but didn't finish fast enough. I realized the wall I grabbed was actually a rather tall stack of books I made while looking. It was too late, the stack was already falling over.
BAM!
(Quality sound effects here in this story.)
In a second, books were scattered all over the living room. One had landed painfully on my hand, while another had hit Snowy's foot.
"Oww…" I said, rubbing my poor hand. Snowy was on the ground, rubbing her foot, wincing.
I was about so say that I was sorry, but then I noticed something. The book that had hit my hand caught my eye. It was one of the many books I had tossed to the side after seeing the title. But as to not waste time, I only read the first couple of words, so this one didn't get my full attention.
Now, I grabbed it and reread the title. Monsters and Other Species: Friendly or Foe.
I opened it and searched around. That's when my eyes fell on a certain entry.
Water Spirit: Nature's Best Nurse.
Believed to be shrinking in population, water spirits are said to be one of the best healers in the world. They have a seemingly endless knowledge of everything, harmful to helpful. Many people have said to have been helped by these friendly creatures. However, for unknown reasons, the amount of water spirits have decreased over the years. Whether it be drought or some other cause, many people, man and beast, have been trying to help bring back these helpers.
Most people believe that water spirits live in any water source, be it any river or lake. However, it has been proven that water spirits only live in fresh water sources, which are more common than most think. The best places to find fresh water are mostly in extremely dense forest areas, where salt would have drained away into the soil years ago. This is why many of the first human settlement were in dense forests, such as jungles. If the water source is large enough, there will almost always be at least one spirit there, waiting for another injured soul to help.
As mentioned before, water spirits are extremely kind and will help anyone, human or otherwise. No one is certain why, but the most accepted idea is that water spirits never wanted to be bringers of violence, so they were one of the few who never attack humans or monsters.
The only downside these mysterious beings have is that if they do not stay within a large enough water source for any given time, they will not be able to live very long. This is why there is almost never a water spirit close to a town. Rarely are there any fresh water sources in towns and cities, so that's why most are found in thick forests.
"AHA!" I shouted, making Snowy jump a foot off the ground. I reread the whole passage again. "This… this is it!"
"What is?" Snowy asked, looking at the book. She read it, her eyes getting wider and wider. "That… That will have to work! But… but where would we find one?"
"I… I don't know." I said, my good mood becoming sad again. Where in the world would we find a water spirit?
Snowy looked thoughtful. "Maybe… maybe I can find one? I mean… I've been to the ocean before, so... I think I can smell if water is fresh or not…" she said, her voice unsure.
"Well… it's our best bet. We need to get Cameron back to normal." I said, looking over at Cameron. He seemed to be even more gray than before.
"Y-yes. I want my master back." Snowy said, tearing up at the sight of Cameron.
"Well… first things first, we need to get him up." I said.
Which was a task in itself, to say the least. Whatever happened to Cameron, it made him not want to move from that very spot. Thankfully, it was early in the morning, so we had quite a lot of time before nightfall.
Every time we came close, he batted our hands away. We tried almost everything, from trying to dupe him out to working together. But eventually, with some rope, we managed to make him get on his feet. After he got up, he just kinda… stood there. I didn't know why only now he wasn't fighting us, or struggling against the bonds.
"Um… Cameron?" I said hesitantly. He looked over to me… and surprisingly, he walked over. I was confused, but then I tried something.
"Snowy, go over to the other end of the room. Call him." I said quietly to Snowy. She nodded, and did as she was told. Cameron walked promptly over to her.
"Well, at least we don't have to worry about getting him there. Seems he will just follow us." I said, breathing a sigh of relief. Me and Snowy got our stuff ready, and then, with a gray Cameron behind us, walked out with Snowy in the lead, sniffing for fresh water.
'Oh… hold on Cameron. I know you're still in there. Just hang on a little longer…' I thought, as together, we all stepped into the nearby forest.
And that's the end. Sorry for ending here, but I really don't want to be typing this chapter much longer. The next chapter will be just as long, if not longer than this one, okay?
Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! A little love scene, followed by danger, followed by MORE love, followed by sadness, and finally, hope. I'm sure you all will be satisfied with how this next chapter will play out.
