Chapter 21

They got into casita and Melissa's mother started to hug her, as melissa got confused.

Lorie: Ah'I missed ya, ya know, ah'm really sorry about what all has happened. It's just ya left so quickly and we had that fight, and ya gave meh this. It hurt meh physically and emotionally.

Then Lorie pointed to the noticeable scar over her right eye. Melissa didn't say anything but she felt guilty, and Bruno took notice.

Lorie: Ah'I forgave ya, ya know, that same night ya left. It took meh a long time ta face mah fears inta comin' down here ta warn ya about ya'r Uncles and ya'r Grandma, they were plottin' against ya.

Bruno and the demon in disguise looked at them with concern.

Melissa: Ah'I was afraid ya were gonna say that. mah, or um, well mah fiance's youngest nephew had a dream about our family havin' a war.

Lorie: Oh, is he the prophet?

Melissa: Nope, ah'm marrin' the prophet. He's the one that talks ta animals like Eliza Thornberry.

Lorie: Oh, so ya're the famous Bruno! Hmm, aren't ya a little old ta be marrin' mah daughter?!

Bruno: By like 10 years, and plus she's a grown-ass woman in her 40's, can she please have a life! I think you're smothering her!

Melissa was surprised and a little aroused by this side of Bruno, Melissa's mother didn't know what to say. A part of her knew he wasn't wrong, but the way he said it really pissed her off. Then with a puff of purple smoke, she changed into a slightly bigger boar, that was still in the ruana, but they can see the elemental exterior of some rock formations and earthy accents like moss, plants, or grass. Then she was about to drop kick Bruno when the Demon disguised as a human tried to calm her.

Demon/ Carlos: Calm down Mami, she's been doing fine, so don't worry. You raised a good kid, or er… woman.

The Boar didn't know what to say, as she was slowly starting to like this mysterious stranger.

Lorie: Oh, ya really think so, ah'I mean despite her bein' simple and child-like.

Melissa: The Fuck ma?!

Bruno got offended for her and just rolled his eyes at the mother's compliment.

Lorie: Ya know ah'I have another daughter. So, d ya have any kids?

Bruno and Melissa got super ill listening to them talk.

The demon/ Carlos: Well I had two daughters, but they're gone now bless their souls, same goes for my wife.

Lorie: Oh, ah'm so sorry…

Melissa: Ma, we need ta get ya dressed now before…

Then without warning a puff of purple smoke clouded over her as she became human, naked but with Bruno's Ruana. the demon/Carlos was aroused, and Bruno and Melissa were embarrassed. Melissa and her mother went into Bruno's room, as Bruno waited outside. after a while Melissa and her mother came out, she was wearing Melissa's sweats, a plain white tee, and some shoes.

Melissa: Ah'I ah'm so sorry Brunito, ah'I promise ta wash ya'r ruana right away, thank ya for bein' a good gentleman for lettin' mah ma use it ta cover herself, that was so nice and generous of ya. Ah'I wish ah'I had an idea, of how ta repay ya.

Then Bruno smirked mischievously and had an idea.

Bruno: I might have something in mind Mei amor.

Then he whispered seductively in her ear as she blushed super hard.

Melissa: (Gasp) That's so naughty, kinky, ah'I love it hon.

Then she was about to go to the river when all of a sudden Antonio ran in screaming and crying with Camilo, Delores, Maribel, and Mariano scared out of their minds.

Antonio: Tia, Tia it's horrible!

Melissa: What's wrong sugar cube?!

Antonio was sobbing harder than he did before, then Delores was about to speak up until Camilo spoke up.

Camilo: Tia, there's a huge snake with a monkey on his back, are they part of the zodiac?!

Melissa(Sigh): Oh, Of course, they're here, and all of the days ta be. Ta answer ya'r question yeah, ah'm very sorry Delores, Maiano.

Mariano: You know them, Senorita Melissa?!

Melissa: Unfortunately they're related ta meh, that's mah Aubela, and one of mah Tio's from mah mother's side.

Maribel: They're attacking everyone looking for you.

Then Melissa knew what she had to do. Everyone was scared as to what she was about to do or was thinking of doing, Antonio began to cry once more as he began to hug Melissa tightly.

Antonio: Please, Please don't go alone, you'll die like in my dream! Please!...Please…

Melissa looked at him with soft eyes, as she tried to hide the fear in her eyes as she spoke.

Melissa: Listen, little partner, it's ok ah'I won't die, ah'll calmly talk ta them, and ah'll do it alone. Ah'I don't want anyone hurt on mah behalf.

She was making little signs that Bruno picked up on, like how her dog nails flexed outward, and her body language tightened. She was tense, he can tell.

Bruno: I can't let you do this alone mei Vida, you're more precious to me than you know, please at least let me…

Melissa: Out of the question hon, you and your familia are way important ta meh, please hon ah'I don't want any of ya hurt, If ya'll did, ah'll never forgive mahself. And besides, it's mah fight, please don't be captain save a… female.

Then she leans in and whispered (Hoe) in his ear. Bruno sadly grabbed her hands telling her, begging her not to go, but she knew she had to. She left them in the house worried. The Snake with the monkey on his back was flipping everything in his wake looking for her. In the trees above them was a figure staring down at them.

Snake/Craig: Where the Fuck is she?! Where is that Fucking bitch?!

Then the figure jumped out of the tree and she landed on all fours as a puff of Blue-ish teal smoke engulfed her as she transformed into her wolf hound form. She didn't hesitate to speak her mind.

Dog /Melissa: Lookin' for someone Uncle.

He then quickly turned making the Monkey sway uncomfortably as his huge tongue flickered as he was trying to smell her coming upon him, but due to him smoking so much, it was hard for him to taste and smell with his tongue.

Snake /Craig: Where are you, you bitch?!

Melissa is behind the same tree she jump down from.

Dog /Melissa: Ah'm here uncle.

Then he turned around to see the dog, with fire in his eyes, then let out a smoker's cough.

Dog /Melissa: Ya know Uncle ya wouldn't cough like that if ya don't smoke like a complete chimney.

Snake /Craig: You Bitch!

Then he whips his tail as the monkey on his back tried to hang on.

Monkey/Judy: Craggy, I can bearly hang on here!

Snake/Craig: Sorry ma, but she needs to be taught a lesson!

Dog/ Melissa: Ya got ta catch meh first, old man!

Then she ran, as fast as he was slithering to catch up. he was so furious that he was about to attack until another snake intervened.

Snake/ Craig: This is not of your concern Mike!

Snake /Mike: She is my concern, she's my niece too! Don't hurt her!

He said through gritted fangs. Then the snake with the Monkey was about to attack, he then went straight towards them both bearly hitting Mike, hitting Melissa with full force with poison. So much so, that she whimpered and whined in pain, as she tried to get away.

Back at the casita. Bruno had this bad feeling that his beloved was in trouble.

Bruno: Why am I just sitting here, while my future wife is out there fighting her familia, while I'm here like a total Pussy?!

He screamed out loud, as a clash of thunder can be heard as Pepa was giving a death stare because her youngest was in the room was sobbing softly on her dress as she was holding him tightly. Felix felt bad for both Antonio and Bruno, but he was worried for their newest member Melissa.

Bruno: I'm so sorry Sobrino, I plum forgot you being out here, I'm sorry, just please don't repeat me.

Antonio: Si, Tio.

Bruno: Muy Bien, Sobrino.

Felix: Just go to her Bro, your woman needs you, even though a woman says she doesn't need you, she secretly needs you!

Augustin: He's right, we know she's tough but she also knows she's weak and she's fighting her familia, it must be hurting her physically, and mentally.

Bruno: I want to help her but...

Lorie: Please, we need ta go save mah baby!

Then Bruno looked at her with sympathy. Then the Demon in human form came up to Bruno.

Demon/ Carlos: let's go save your girl.

Bruno: Right!

Then they left outside. Then Antonio had an idea to go find his cousins, siblings, and his and his Tia's animals. Meanwhile, Melissa found a tree to hide behind.

Melissa: Shit, shit! He did a number on meh, ah'I knew the poison would eventually weaken meh, but over the years ah've would've gained at least some immunity from his venom, right? Ugh, it just gets meh so mad!

Then her fangs grew as she said that, she got so frustrated that she found a tree and started biting at it. After she bit into it and she noticed the acids in her mouth turned into poison. Melissa smirked at this.

Melissa: Well shit, this could help meh.

Then she bit down on a piece of bark a few more times to test out the new ability.

Ah'I can't believe ah've obtained the ability of hyper poison fang.

Then from the distance, she can sense something coming from both directions. She slowly got up as she winced in pain, and slowly got her bearings and got ready to fight, she snarled and growled, as slowly the figures come closer to reveal her familia. The snake, monkey, and Rooster. The Rooster grabbed her with his back talons holding her down as she looks up with so much rage and resentment in her ice-cold blue eyes.

Snake/ Craig: There you are Bitch! I should have killed you on the spot! But you're so lucky you're the only dog, that we know of.

Melissa spat in his direction, while the Rooster pushed her down further to the ground.

Melissa: No, no let meh translate, ya're the only slave we got, otherwise ya'll would've killed meh because ya're useless otherwise.

The dog bucked the Rooster off and he went flying towards the snake to buy Melissa some time as she wobbled a little before running on pure adrenaline. They got up and started after her, but she stopped waiting for the perfect opportunity to jump from the Rooster and scratch him, then jumped at the snake getting a few scratches in before he grabbed her with his massive tail. He then tries to squeeze the living daylights out of her. Not too far away are Bruno, the demon, Antonio and his animal friends, Melissa's animal friends, Mariano, Delores, Camilo, Maribel, Luisa, and Isabella heard whimpering and heard thumping and crashing sounds coming straight in the distance. To the horrors that awaited them, they saw her on the ground barely breathing as his tail slowly let her limp body go.

Every kid: Tia!

Mariano, the demon, and Bruno: Melissa!

Bruno was dumb-struck and didn't know what to do. Antonio was about to jump into action when Camilo stopped him, as he started crying as the jaguar tried to comfort him also. Bruno and the demon got so pissed Bruno shielded her as the demon turned into a huge metal bull with red piercing eyes and huge horns. He took one look at the snake, rooster, and monkey, and as smoke came out of his nostrils. When he spoke in a gruff manner.

Then Alema, Pepa, Julieta, Felix, Augustin, Mike, Danelle, and Lorie got to where they are. They saw the huge bull, the snake, a monkey, a rooster, the kids, and Bruno over…Melissa's body!

Alema, Pepa, Julieta, Felix, Augustin, Danelle, Lorie: Melissa!

Demon/ Bull: (G.V) How dare you! I thought we were friends, I thought we were family?! I thought we were brothers?! And I find out you treated my daughter and my wife, your Sister, and niece like shit?!

They were all shocked at what the bull said.

Daughter?! Wife?! No, it can't be he's…he's dead!

Lorie/ boar: Andrew… is that you?!

Then the Bull looked at the boar sadly.

Bull(G.V): Yeah, hi honey.

Everyone that's not the kids: That's her Father?!

Bruno's mind wasn't on anything except on Melissa, Melissa's broken body. He felt so angry at himself for not going with her, mad at her for not letting him go with her, and upset for seeing her like this, she looked like a dog rag doll. He slowly picked her up with tears in his eyes. Slowly and dangerously looking at the snake and rooster.

Bruno: You, you did this to her, no wonder she was so upset for the last three months worrying about you guys coming, I told her everything was going to be fine, nothing won't happen they're your familia, but fuck me, I was wrong again! She's a fucking rag doll now, because of all of you!

Snake/ Craig and Rooster/ Jeff: Who the Fuck are you?! You have no business with us!

Bruno: You're so lucky I can't tell you guys to piss off, because this is my mom's house, and yes to hell I have business with you, your niece is going to be my wife, and she was your niece! God, I thought my familia was crazy, but Damn if I was her, I would have cut ties with you long ago, geez! But I'm not thank god. When she wakes up, if she'll ever wake up, I'll have her judgment on what she wants or needs to do with you.

Then he left with Melissa as Julieta, Pepa, the kids, Alema, Felix, Augustin, Lorie, the bull who was shrunken into a normal-sized bull, Mike, Danelle, and all the animals went with them, to help Melissa into the casita.
