A.N. I'm officially finished with my break and am now back in school. Online lessons are still something I'm getting used to. Hope everyone's doing okay out there, stay safe!
Chapter 42 - Don't Go
Surprisingly, it wasn't Cinder who made a lot of fuss. At least, at first.
"NoOOoO! Don't go!" Metis screamed while clinging her whole body to Rory's leg. Cinder watched from the side, trying to keep a level expression on her face.
"Metis, I have to go."
God damn, even without Aura the girl sure has strength. That must be due to the cybernetic implants or whatever Watts did to her.
"No! I wanna go with you! You're my squishy Mommy, I need to protect you!"
Ugh, she's still calling Rory 'Mommy' instead of 'Daddy'. It's cute, if rather embarrassing.
"Don't worry, I'll have someone I know with me. He's someone I need to bring with me anyways to talk to the White Fang."
"Who?"
"His name's Tyrian."
"Tyrian!" And now it was Cinder's turn. "You're telling me you're leaving me and Watts behind to go off with Tyrian?!"
"Hey, to be fair, you know he'll at least take care of me."
"No! I won't let you do something so stupid."
Aw, great. And now Cinder's also grabbing his leg. Rory saw Watts standing nearby smirking under his mustache, to which Rory quickly gave him the bird.
"Hey, Watts! You know, it's not too late to convince Salem to switch our roles around. Why don't you go in my place?"
Watts froze as the two girls suddenly stopped making noise and turned to stare at him. He only had a few seconds of warning before he was eventually caught by the two girls. Rory laughed the whole time Watts screamed.
