Chapter 12
In the distance, a small figure was in the shadows watching the group. He then pulled out a huge gun and pointed it toward the group, then he pointed it at random villagers.
Figure: If anyone messes with my daughter there will be carnage and bloodshed!
Then Melissa's dog ears pricked up at the noise, and slowly her head turned towards the hidden figure.
Melissa: Ah'I know ya're here Dad. Ah'I can smell the gun powder.
Bruno: Wait, your dad's here?!
Voice: Aw Babycakes, you're blowing my fun and my cover! And besides, I'm just here to make sure that you and your soon-to-be family is safe.
Melissa: Aw thanks Dad, but please don't use ya'r gun here.
Demon: Can't promise you that babycakes, if someone looks at you the wrong way there will be blood. (growls)
Antonio looked at him. With a yelp, he hid behind Melissa's leg.
Demon: Look kid it's nothing personal, you'll understand when you'll have kids. If anyone touches my daughter wrong, they're gone.
Antonio started to cry. Melissa picked him up, trying to comfort him.
Melissa: Dad! What the.. hmm, thanks, Dad! He's five!
She said bitterly as she started rubbing his back tenderly, as the Jaguar growled angrily.
Demon: I can growl too, kitty!
Antonio: No Jaggie, he's family.
He said sadly while hanging from Melissa. The demon felt a little guilty.
Demon: Listen I am sorry, I just don't want anything to happen to you Babycakes, you're not the only one with hyper hearing you know. I heard some people talking, and it sounds like they were coming for you. That's why I came.
(Everyone gasped)
Melissa: Oh, that's just Beautiful.
She growled as she put her two fingers to the bridge of her nose in frustration. Then Bruno started noticing she was slowly turning into the beast. He then started to pet the bridge of her nose. It started to calm her down.
Melissa: Thanks sugar, ya should have told meh dad, now ah'I have 3 people of my fiancé's familia, and mah fiancé in danger because of some craft supplies!
Maribel: It's not all your fault, it was also my fault too.
Melissa: Thanks sugar but ah'm the older one, ah'I should have known better…
Demon: Ok, are we done braiding each other's hair and singing kumbaya? I think I hear something. (Low growl)
Melissa: Dad, can ya stay here with Jaggie and watch the perimeter.
Demon: Already ahead of ya babycakes. Already ahead.
Melissa: Thank ya, do what ya have ta, but keep in mind that is for the last resort, alright.
Demon: Gaw, fine you're as bad as your mother.
Melissa: Yep.
Then the demon smiled as they stepped inside the craft store. Then in the distance, three figures came into the craft store. After the figures came into the store, Melissa and the Demon can hear, and Melissa could smell them coming behind them. She instinctively put down Antonio and put her hand on Bruno.
Melissa: (Whisper) they're here, the main guy, Ah'I can just smell of the cheap whiskey and that awful cheap cologne. Ugh.
Bruno: (Semi Whisper) You can smell all that?! Hey, what can you smell on me?!
Melissa: (Whisper) Do ya really want meh ta answer, here of all places?! Let's just get the stuff and pop off.
Then Antonio got worried and grabbed her hand. She noticed his facial expressions and spoke.
Melissa: Hum… what is it Tonito?
Antonio: Those men are… they're looking for you!
Then the men looked in their general direction. Then he put his ruana up in case something happens.
Male 1: Hey, there you are bitch! We've been looking everywhere for you. You've left us very unsatisfied the last time we met…
Melissa: Let meh stop ya right there buddy, there's a child present. Antonio…
Male 1: I don't give a Fuck!
Melissa (Smiling): Antonio dear would ya please shield ya'r ears, (Upset) because what ah'm about ta say is very unladylike. (Growls)
Antonio: Si, Tia.
He did what he was told, and put his hands over his ears. Then her eyes shifted to a slit and they glowed a bright shade of blue as if it was cold as ice.
Melissa: Ya listen ta meh, ass, ah'I ain't a bitch, and ah'm not ya'r bitch. So pop the Fuck off or ah'Il kick ya'r asses. and Ps, ah'm with mah husband so please kindly Fuck off!
Male 1: (Laughs) What, him?! (Laughs) He's a weakling! Get with me, I can show you a good time. If you are really married prove it!
Melissa: First off Asshole, last time we saw each other ya tried ta kill meh over mah purse, which jokes on ya cause ya would have killed meh for nothin', that would have been a fuckin' riot, the only thin' ya could have done with ya'r tiny shriveled up dick was ta rape meh then killed meh, but whatever, thanks ta ya, ah've met the Amazin' Madrigals. Right love bug, at least he treats meh right.
Bruno: Well you heard the little lady, move along punks.
The men laughed at this.
Male 1: Oh, this little man finally grew some balls. Oh don't hurt me, little man.
Then they laughed again. Then he looked at poor Antonio and had an idea of attacking him, Antonio was about to scream, until Melissa jumped in front of him blocking the man.
Antonio: Jaggie!
Melissa: Luisa!
Luisa was keeping an eye on Maribel as she heard her name. she rushed over to the aisle, and saw Jaggie heading for Antonio. Jaggie growled protecting Antonio, as Melissa walked towards the men.
Melissa: If ya touch any of mah nephew or nieces or any of mah familia, God so help meh ah'I won't hesitate ta break all ya'r bones and crush ya'r balls and make mince meat. Now go before Ah'I summon mah demons ta come and dispose of ya ugly mugs for good, now go!
At this point, Luisa came to escort them out until one of them told her something.
Male 2: Get away from us…
Male 3: Freak!
Then Luisa started to tear up. and Melissa and Bruno weren't happy.
Luisa: I-I'm a-a freak?! I'm a freak?!
Then Melissa's eyes grew a slit and started to glow that cold Icey blue shade. Then she turned into the beast, as everyone was freaking out around her. Melissa was furious and picked up the three men with her giant paws. Antonio was crying, Luisa was crying, and she roared in anger.
Melissa (GV): What the Fuck is ya'll's problem, all because ah'I didn't let ya kill meh and rape meh, ya have ta pick on mah familia?! Do ya'll have a death wish?! Dad!
As fast as she said it, as fast as he came. The demon showed up guns a-blazing.
Demon: Yes, Babycakes.
Melissa(GV): Take these three douche canoes ta the back, do what ya have ta do, gut them like a fish for all ah'I fuckin' care, and Dad save their livers and spleens.
The Demon smiled evilly at them.
Demon: Will do darling, will do.
Then he dragged all three men by the neap of their shirts to the back of the store. Then a muffled gunshot can be heard. Antonio and Luisa were still crying, but for different reasons.
Melissa (GV): Honey, honey look at meh, ya'r not a freak, ok. Ya're strong and beautiful alright! If ya're a freak, ah'm a troll, ok remember that.
Then without warning, Luisa gave Melissa a bear hug, then Maribel came back with a confused and worried expression when she saw Melissa as a beast, Antonio, and Luisa crying, and her Tio Bruno swooning over Melissa.
Maribel: Ok, so what did… I … miss?
Bruno: A lot, wow, what a woman.
Maribel: Wait, is that Senorita Melissa?! And what's with Antonio and Luisa?!
Bruno: Yes, and Antonio was attacked but Melissa saved him, and those punks called your sister (Whisper) A F-R-E-A-K. which she's not.
Melissa (GV): Honey let's just get the stuff we came for and get out of here. Is everyone alright?
Antonio, Luisa, and Maribel: Si, we're fine.
Melissa (GV): Good, good.
She grabbed everything she can and paid for them, they then booked it back to Casita. Then Luisa spoke up.
Luisa: Senorita Melissa, did you mean everything you said back there?!
Melissa (GV): About?...
Luisa: Well firstly about what you were about to do to those men.
Melissa (GV): (Sigh) Ah'I was serious if they were goin' ta hurt any of ya. He was goin' ta hurt poor little Tonito, Ah'I was thinkin' only about breakin' their arms and possibly their spines, then they called ya a freak, so ah'I might have gone a little haywire, but Ah'I just can't tolerate that stuff anymore, ya know. So, Ah'I had mah dad ta handle it for meh.
Luisa: So… and about the stuff you told me, you think I'm beautiful?!
Melissa (GV): Well yes, of course, everyone is beautiful in their own right, don't matter ya'r sexual preferences, or gender, or the color of ya'r skin.
Then Luisa gave another bear hug.
Luisa: Thank you, Tia... I mean senorita Melissa.
Melissa: Ya know ya can call meh Tia if ya want, Ah'I don't mind. But only if ya feel comfortable, and that goes for anyone here.
She gave a small smile and walked inside. Maribel, Antonio who was on Jaggie, Bruno, and the Demon watch Melissa curiously as she sat on the ground at the door.
Melissa (GV): Ah'I can't believe all that happened at a f- ugh, craft store of all places.
Bruno: It's not your fault mei Vida, those punks had it coming.
Antonio and Maribel: Tio Bruno!
Bruno: Maybe not the last part, but Mei Amor you almost handled it perfectly.
Melissa (GV): Ah'm sorry ya guys had ta see that side of meh in action. Ah'I didn't mean those horrible things Ah'I said. Ah'I wish ah'I never told Daddy ta do that, it was wrong, very, very wrong. Ah'm very, very sorry.
Maribel and Antonio: Well, you were thinking of the family…
Antonio: And you did save me, thank you, Tia.
Then Antonio Hugged her. Then after a moment, Maribel started to hug her as well.
Maribel: Thank you, Tia.
Melissa: Ah'm assumin' the thank ya was for Luisa, right.
Maribel: Si, it's for Luisa.
Melissa: Ya're welcome. It's gettin' late and ya'll's parents are probably gettin' worried.
Then they all walked in together. After they got in Pepa, Felix, and Julieta was waiting by the door upset, Pepa was so upset she had a storm cloud over half of the house, and Felix was with her with an umbrella, Melissa gulped at the size of the storm cloud.
Melissa (GV): Ok, ah'I know this looks bad, we had a miss hap where Tonito and Luisa was targeted, but ah'I went savage and took care of everythin'.
Pepa, Julieta, and Felix: Wait… What?! What happened?! Why do you look like this?!
Melissa (GV): Well ah'I Ah'm cursed, same goes for mah entire family, we all can change inta our zodiac animals when our bodies are weak or sick or very excided, although ah'I can kind of control it mostly, but it's when ah'm weak or sick ah'I can't control it well. Now for mah other form "The Beast" comes out when ah'm extremely mad, or very stressed, anythin' can wake "The Beast." And what woke "The Beast" Was they tried to attack Little Tonito, and they called Luisa a F-r-e-a-k and Ah'I lost mah shit.
Then Julieta got pissed.
Julieta: Who the Fuck called my baby a freak?!
Melissa (GV): Those guys that tried to attack meh, ya know they're probably the same Douche canoes that trashed mah tent! (Grrr)
Then Bruno started to petting her nose. He noticed her eyes changed back to normal as she calmed down. Everyone was stunned.
Pepa, Julieta, and Felix: Why are you petting her nose?!
Bruno: Oh, it helps to calm her, see!
Then within seconds, she started to feel better. She then transformed back into her human form.
Melissa: Thanks sugar.
Then she kissed him.
Melissa: (Whisper) Ah'I owe ya big time.,
As he was blushing super hard, as she went back upstairs starting to work on Pepa's and Delores's earrings. After a while she got done with the first project, then she started Delores's. After Bruno and Julieta walked into the room, the red-figure watches from the window. Melissa then looked over to the window and noticed her dad.
Oh, shit! I hope they don't see me or stay in that room for too long!
Perfect timein' dad!
Melissa: Huee-wee, ain't it stuffy in here, let's go somewhere else and talk.
Julieta: Are you sure dear, I can just open the window and…
Melissa: No! Ah'I mean uh, no, we can… we can plan that garden.
Julieta: Ohh good idea. Let's meet in the parlor.
Melissa: Right, ah'Il be right down.
Then she left, and Bruno stayed with Melissa. After she left the Demon came through the window.
Demon: Satan, took her long enough, so what were you guys talking about anyways that was so important?!
Melissa: We wanted ta make a garden.
Bruno: I think it's a wonderful idea, we can grow a lot of vegetables and herbs, and I can spend a lot more time with you, Mei Amor.
Demon (Gags)
Melissa: Ah'I guess that would be fun.
Demon: Ugh, why don't you two get a room already!
Bruno: You know that's your daughter, right.
Demon: Yeah, if she's anything like her mother, you're going to have one Hell of a good time. You're going to be one lucky son of a Bitch.
He said liting a cigarette, puffing smoke. Then Bruno grabbed the cigarette away from him and broke it in two.
Demon: Hey! The Fuck is your problem?! (Growls)
Bruno: Not in this house, por fa vor mama would kill anyone who smokes in this house! If you have to smoke por fa vor go outside.
Demon: Ok, ok please, don't have a hernia I'll take it outside, but you also need to get laid.
Melissa: Dad?! What the Hell?!
Demon: Babycakes, you're not getting any younger and neither is your boyfriend. And I bet you guys still have your v-cards don't ya.
Melissa: Daddy, please! Can we talk about this later?
Demon: Fine, but please bear me some grand-monkeys soon.
He said with a wink, indicating he was joking.
Bruno: Oh, don't worry sir we're hoping to start as soon as possible.
Then Melissa playfully punched Bruno on the side. He gave a small (Ooof) as she gave a small giggle. Then she realized they were supposed to meet up with Julieta.
Melissa: Oh, shit we were suppose ta meet with ya'r sister! Dad, we got ta go!
Then they both rushed out before he spoke.
Demon: Have fun you crazy kids.
