Chapter 18: New Friend

As the hours passed, the sun began to rise quickly. Axel stayed at the church for the day while Amon showed up to carry Gabby to his home while I flew with them before the sun rose beyond the horizon.

We chose to do this at Amon's, because he has much more room than the basement does at the Church.

I honestly want the girl to feel comfortable, Amon, as expected, captured her heart and trust with his friendly personality.

She seems to have settled into her room in the basement of the mansion, which I learned is where Amon's bedroom is as well. Like the upper stories, the basement has a number of rooms. If the mansion had flowing water, electricity and was repaired, the basement could act as a second house due to it having a number of bathrooms, a kitchen and dining room.

The door to the basement has a heavy-duty lock to it, a thick bolt that can only be locked from the basement. Amon uses it in case people, such as urban explorers, adventure into the mansion, which happens pretty often as he says.

Amon was able to locate a Galileus that was the offspring of two originals that were turned by Nathan long ago.

When I found out which Galileus it was, it made sense how it took no time for it to get to Amon's.

The one that was the closest, and volunteered to work with us, is the female that has been trying to court Axel forever, the same female that tried killing me and watched Axel and I together in the cavern.

For the past hour, we all took the time to get to know each other.

I learned quickly that Gabby is a huge fangirl of Axel, even though she had no idea how his behavior was or what he looked like for sure. I figured she was a fangirl from what I heard in the basement of the church, but didn't realize how intense it was.

Both girls share similar lust for him, although the female Galileus clearly desires him much stronger than Gabby does.

The female, who I recently learned the name of as Priscilla, has been working with Amon on trying to figure out how to get the 'venom' out of her teeth.

Apparently, Nathan was able to release some kind of fluid from his teeth similar to how a snake's fangs do, willingly. This fluid, or what I decided to call Galileus Venom because it sounds cooler, is what transforms a human into a Galileus by flowing through the bloodstream.

"So what are you?" Gabby wonders, watching me from her bed as she sits upon it holding her broken camera I found in the basement of the church when she dropped it. We also decided to give all of her belongings back to her after making sure she wasn't carrying any weapons.

"I have no idea...I'm hoping to find out at some point..." I tell her, standing against the wall across from her bed while holding Valkyrie beside me.

"Hm...none of your features look like any of the folklore I have studied before...maybe your species is going extinct like Amon's?" She hypothesizes, looking over my wings and now-dressed body. I decided to throw on a pair of jean shorts and a t-shirt before arriving here, so Priscilla can't check me out in jealousy awkwardly whenever she was in view of me.

"Maybe...I don't even know what else I can be capable of doing. I know I can create illusions, become weak by using my powers and am constantly being hunted down by this weird species of monster always trying to kill me." I explain to her.

"What does it look like? I might know more about what it is." She tells me with confidence, pulling out a journal from her handbag before flipping it open to a random page.

"Well...basically it looks a lot like Death, or the Grim Reaper pretty much. But it has dark flesh on it with a pair of glowing, cold blue eyes. It wields one of these." I continue to explain, pointing my scythe out to her.

She watches me in confusion before flipping through her pages of creatures consisting of pictures, information and sketches of the creature presented on each page. Her sketches astonish me with how good they look, from what I can see from this distance.

Minutes pass, she looks at me in defeat, "I have no idea what that creature is...there might be information about it from my sources, but I can't exactly access them anymore..." She expresses her blame on me, talking about her phone I broke.

"I'm sorry, you were about to call the police. Neither of us wanted that to happen, it would endanger Axel and I." I inform her.

She frowns, "Well if you would have told me you weren't going to kill me, I wouldn't have tried to call them! You also killed my best friend!" She screams out at me, her voice full of emotions I am far too familiar with.

"I know...but when Axel needs something from someone, he has no choice but to kill and consume what his body needs to survive." I explain to her.

She narrows her eyes at me in anger and looks down at her book, thankfully understanding.

Everything I know about Axel and Amon along with their species and enemies has been shared with Gabby in the chance we are able to actually transform her.

We all know there is a chance she could die in the process if her body isn't strong enough. Axel made sure her body was strong and healthy, but none of us are actually able to know the survival rate she has.

Looking away from her I cross my arm over my chest in thought, "I'm going to check on the progress." I inform her before leaving the room with Valkyrie to join Amon and Priscilla in the main room of the basement.

Coming back to the scene of Amon kneeled down across from Priscilla with the body of a deceased deer lying between the two of them, I watch her bite into the deer's skinned and exposed neck.

Each time she has bit into it, Amon has checked for a dark fluid within the deer's flesh where it was bitten. From what Axel had told him, the fluid should be thick and a black color. Priscilla has been trying to get her body to produce it, as the only Galileus that know how to release it are the 5 older Galileus, without even being able to produce it. Her, along with the rest of the species were never taught due to the belief that human transformation was no longer possible.

"Any progress?" I ask them.

Both of them look at me, Priscilla continues to have a negative attitude toward me by growling, only there to please Axel and Amon, not me.

Amon lets out a loud hiss in her direction, making her go silent and straighten up immediately, the aggression from him surprising both of us, "Yes, she has produced a small drop of the fluid, which is absolutely amazing! So now that we know your theory was correct, we need to collect enough of it to where it can be ingested and produced within our own bodies."

"Really? That's so great to hear! I'm glad we are making progress. Is there anything I can do to help?"

Amon thinks for a moment, "Make sure she is well educated and aware of her imitations, for her own safety in her new life." He tells me, we both know once Axel arrives at nightfall he will make sure that information is permanent in her brain.

I nod and return to the bedroom.

"Will it work?" Gabby wonders in worry, knowing her life is on the line, whether it is able to work or not.

"It should. Thankfully she is producing the venom we need." I tell her with a smile.

"Thank god." She lets out in relief.

.

By the time Priscilla masters the ability to release the fluid, night has fallen.

Priscilla, Gabby and I became exhausted out of our minds by mid-day.

Gabby and I decided to take a nap for a few hours while Amon kept Priscilla awake.

Gabby eventually got so familiar with me to the point we consider each other close friends. I was not going to sleep on the dirty floor, so we decided to share the bed while we slept.

Currently we are awake and awaiting Axel's arrival in the main room of the basement with Amon and Priscilla.

I have been amusing everyone, except Priscilla, with my familiars.

Currently I am taking the form of a crow, while Amon chases me around in his crow form.

Flying around fast, I avoid Amon as we basically play tag to pass the time. Gabby has been laughing and enjoying the whole experience while Priscilla remains hateful.

The sudden sound of the basement door creaking open in protest grabs our attention, I suddenly stop flying and Amon crashes into me and we hit the floor with him on top of me, laughing with victory in his unique crow voice.

I laugh too in an unfamiliar crow voice before plucking a chunk of feathers from his chest and escaping out from under him as I take off in the direction of the stairs to the basement.

Amon flies after me again.

Axel, closing the deadbolt, senses us flying at him. The strange unique scent coming from me throws him off, as does the sight of me.

For once, Axel gives me a look of confusion before I land on his shoulder, just now discovering I can change form.

Amon crashes into me on his shoulder and chases after me while I hop onto Axel's other shoulder and take off flying into the basement again.

Axel descends the stairs and locks his eyes on Gabby and Priscilla.

The sight of Axel gives Gabby a sense of fear and interest, while Priscilla becomes excited and clearly ready to please him.

I land on Gabby's shirt and climb all over it while Amon chases me more.

Axel lets out a hiss toward Amon, letting him know he has become impatient.

Amon looks over at him and flies off Gabby and lands near Priscilla before turning back into his real form, laughing.

"What is the plan?" I squeak out in my crow voice.

"As I already told Axel, Priscilla will inject the fluid into a piece of deer meat for us to ingest. By eating it, our bodies should begin producing our own sources of the fluid. If this does not work, we will have no choice but for Priscilla to bite us and inject the fluid directly into our veins. From there, our bodies should jumpstart our own production of it." He explains to me.

"...That's so weird..." Gabby says to me under her breath, but both Axel and Amon hear her loud and clear with their sensitive hearing, Amon grins and Axel looks over at her.

Gabby tenses up when Axel looks at her, "...In a good way...?"

I laugh at her and fly off her shoulder and land beside her, changing back into my real form.

"He won't hurt you." I reassure her.

'Are you sure about that?' Axel's voice growls lowly into my head.

Moving my attention to him, I cross my arms and narrow my eyes at him, 'I am.' I respond.

He looks at me before giving me a small smirk.

I roll my eyes at him before moving my attention to Amon, smiling in response to Axel.

Amon, who has just finished skinning a new part of the deer, motions for the female to bite into its newly exposed flesh.

Priscilla frowns at Amon before speaking aloud in a language I have never heard before, just by hearing her speak I guarantee humans are physically unable to replicate the sounds coming from her vocal cords. From her reaction and disapproving look on her face, I can guarantee she wants to bite them instead for her own satisfaction.

Her voice is strangely high pitched, both Axel and Amon listen to her words. Axel snarls at her before responding to her aloud in the same language, his voice in the language is much deeper and growly than his voice is when he speaks English to me in my head. I assume his voice is just as deep if he were to speak aloud as it is in my head.

Gabby watches with her eyes wide before turning to look at me, mouthing the words, 'what the fuck was that?'.

I laugh at her reaction quietly, "I'm guessing that was their species' language." I tell her.

Priscilla frowns at Axel before looking at Amon, hoping he would say otherwise. Amon motions for her to bite the deer again, not going to go against his brother's words even if he wanted to.

She quietly growls before taking a deep bite into the deer in frustration, for the first time I notice her eyes change as she releases the fluid into the deer's meat. Her cat-like eyes' pupils dilate as she releases the fluid. Once she finishes her eyes go back to normal and she releases the meat from her mouth, crossing her arms in frustration.

Axel approaches her before ripping the chunk of meat out of the deer and devouring it, the face of disgust he makes expresses how much he can barely stand the taste of anything other than human meat.

Amon watches him and smirks in amusement before looking at the female again. She gets the point and bites into a different part of the deer, doing the same thing she just did for Axel.

Watching Priscilla, I move my attention to Gabby to realize she looks very uneasy. She looks at me, "...I'm not looking forward to eating raw meat for the rest of my life..."

Amon smirks at her, "It's not as bad as you may think it is."

"I'd imagine it would taste better once you change." I tell her to further reassure her.

"...I hope so." She says quietly.

Priscilla finishes filling the chunk of meat with her venom before rising to her feet and walking away, crossing her arms once she is a comfortable distance away to sulk.

Amon kneels down and rips the chunk of meat off the carcass and devours it the same way Axel did, but with more enjoyment before grabbing the deer and lugging it over his shoulder as he leaves the basement with it to discard it.

Gabby watches his strength, as Amon was able to pick up the full grown stag with ease and carry it off. She looks at me, eyes wide and her mouth slightly open in amazement.

A giggle escapes my lips while I watch her reaction, "Amazing, aren't they?" I say to her before looking over at Axel, who slightly smirks at me in response.

Moving my attention back to Gabby, her full attention is locked on Axel, specifically his bare body. To my surprise, it seems as though she prefers Axel over Amon, I can't blame her though. His dark, mysterious and stern nature is definitely one to die for. What makes it better is underneath all that, if you are lucky enough to catch his interest there is a loving side to him locked away deep inside.

Feeling eyes on him, Axel's acute senses tell him who it is, he shifts his attention to her, giving her a glare.

His glare sends chills through her body as she becomes fearful of him once again, quickly looking away from him and to her hands in her lap.

'Take her back to her room.' Axel demands.

Having seen the interaction between the two of them, I nod and rise to my feet, "Gabby, come with me." I offer.

She nods and stands, following me back to her room.

Once inside I close the door behind her.

"How were you able to get close to him? He is so peculiar and standoffish..." She questions me while sitting down upon the bed.

"It was difficult...he kept trying to kill me for a while until Amon stepped in. Eventually we just got used to each other I guess." I tell her, shrugging.

"Oof...thats harsh...anyway...I'm curious. How does...sex...work for them...?" She lowers her voice to a whisper, "...There's nothing there..."

Unable to hold in my laughter, I burst out laughing and her face heats up in embarrassment and confusion.

"They do, you know how dogs kind of have a 'sheath' for their 'red rockets'? Basically for the Galileus, their body is the sheath. They can willingly control whether it is exposed or not."

She laughs at my word usage, soon she becomes impressed and surprised, "Really? That's...different." She tells me, giggling.

The sound of the door creaking open grabs our attention and Amon walks into the room, smiling at me, "It worked. Is she ready?" He asks, looking at Gabby.

Gabby jumps off the bed and watches him, "Yes."

He smiles at her and walks over to her, "You might want to sit down for this. It will be painful, as will the next 24 hours." He prepares her.

She sits on the bed again, "I know." She acknowledges, looking Amon in the eyes, "...Could Axel do it?" She requests, shocking us both.

"Axel?" Amon asks in surprise before looking over at me, I share the same surprised expression before shrugging in response.

Axel, hearing this, steps into the room and stands by me, watching Gabby.

Amon looks at Gabby again, "It may hurt more if he does it...but if you really want him to be the one to turn you, that's your call." He explains, stepping away from her.

"I know..." She tells him, her eyes focused on Axel.

Axel walks over to her, watching her cower slightly while trying her best to remain brave.

"Be gentle with her, Axel." I remind him.

Axel moves a hand to the side of her neck to keep her still, moving her hair to the side before biting deep into her neck, knowing exactly what to do to make sure the fluid gets into her bloodstream.

Gabby screams out once his teeth bury themselves into her neck, throwing one of her hands onto his wrist that is holding her head still, her other hand going to his shoulder as her nails dig into his skin.

Her dull, human nails fail to puncture his skin, he swallows the blood pooling inside of his mouth before releasing the fluid into her neck.

Amon and I watch, both of us feeling bad about the pain she is going through.

Once Axel feels the venom stop flowing, he releases her neck, his pupils dilated similar to how Priscilla's were.

Gabby cries out from the pain, resisting her instincts that are telling her to hit him to get him away from her.

Axel gives her one of his intimidating grins before his eyes turn back to normal, seeming to want to linger on the scent before the sweet scent of her human fear disappears forever.

He watches the blood run from her neck before walking back over to me.

Before I speak up about healing her neck, the wound slowly closes up before my eyes, causing them to widen, "Woah..."

Gabby watches me, her tears stop flowing while the pain disappears, she widens her eyes, feeling a strange sensation in her body.

Amon and Axel's attention gets shifted from Gabby to Priscilla outside the room, both of them sensing her trying to unlock the deadbolt.

Amon sighs quietly and leaves the room to tend to her, I watch him leave as I approach Gabby.

She looks at me, fear plastered on her face plain as day, "What's happening to me...?" She asks in fear, looking down at her body.

Suddenly I begin to pick up a strange scent from her, backing up a few steps, I realize my nose has changed to where it has become more sensitive, able to pick up the scent of her fear now.

It smells...good. I can pick up the scent of Axel standing a good distance away from me as if he was standing right in front of me. I can even pick up the scent of Amon and Priscilla in the other room as if they were in the same room as me.

Confusion spreads across my face, not understanding what is going on with my senses.

My attention shifts back to Gabby, who has begun to sweat.

"Are you okay? How do you feel?" I ask her, putting the back of my hand against her forehead, realizing she is burning up.

"It's so hot in here..." She pants, removing her shirt.

I move my attention to Axel, who is watching curiously, his eyes lock onto mine, "What is happening to her? Is this normal?" I worry.

'Fever. Her body will rise in temperature to match that of a Galileus, her human body will struggle with the change until the transformation is nearly complete.' He tells me reassuringly.

Sighing in relief, I look at her, "It's just a fever. Your body is struggling to adapt to the body temperature of a Galileus, it will pass."

She sighs in relief, throwing her top off, I help her undress the rest of the way before she lays down on the bed.

Grabbing her shirt, I use it to wipe the sweat off her forehead, "It will be okay..."

A loud screech of protest from Priscilla grabs all of our attention, causing Axel to rush out of the room to check out the situation.

I look at Gabby again, not going to leave her alone. She looks at me, breathing heavy.

A sudden pressure from between my legs makes my eyes widen in the same moment I feel a warm substance running down my leg, I look down to see blood trailing down from between my legs. I never got dressed again after transforming into a familiar earlier.

A period...? There's no way...I already had it this month...

The scent coming from the blood tells me it is different and not period blood, a shiver runs down my spine.

My nose picks up the same scent coming from outside the room coming from Priscilla, from between her legs.

...Heat.

Gabby watches me in concern, "...Bad timing for a period huh..?" She jokes, giggling quietly.

I look at her and giggle nervously, not knowing how Axel and Amon will react now that I am in estrus.

How is this even possible...?

Screeching continues from outside the room until I hear the deadbolt screech open followed by the door.

The screeching stops and the door shuts again, followed by the deadbolt.

The scent of Axel's blood reaches my nose, as well as Amon's distantly.

In a panic, I run out of the room and to the stairs, seeing Axel walking down it with claw marks on his chest.

"What happened?" I ask him, relieved that nothing really bad happened.

Axel looks at me before stopping, breathing deeply and quietly, picking up the thick, irresistible scent from between my legs.

My face brightens in embarrassment, giggling quietly I rotate my leg a little to show him the blood running from my pussy.

"...I guess I do go into heat..." I tell him quietly, giggling nervously.

My ears pick up the sound of his deep purrs as he approaches me, the scent coming from me already affecting him to intense levels.

I remain still, curious as to how he will react, seeing him erecting I come to realize how intense the scent is for him.

A deep, alluring growl comes from him as he grabs me, picks me up and pins me against a wall, the overwhelming amount of lust in his eyes causes my stomach to knot up and my breathing to get heavier.

More blood escapes my depths from his reaction, he breathes in the intoxicating scent, letting it fill his lungs and fuel his arousal.

With one swift motion he pulls my body against his and plunges his entire length deep inside of me, forcing a loud gasp of surprise and pleasure to escape my lips as my eyes widen, not expecting him to take me right here and now.

"...S-shouldn't we go somewhere more privat-" In an instant his lips are tightly pressed against mine, shutting me up and throwing me off guard even more by his unusual actions.

Figuring he is only doing this to shut me up, I fall deeper into the kiss and submit to him.

He moves one of his hands to my hip and his other arm around my lower back he begins to fuck me to the point it seems as if he is losing control over himself.

He moves his mouth away from mine and immediately moves to my neck before biting into it hard, causing me to cry out from the intense pleasure coursing through my body.

In an instant I am moved from the wall to the floor, Axel making sure to remain inside of me during the shift before fucking me hard, practically slamming against my small frame with force.

The intense pleasure and pain from him losing complete control over himself causes uncontrollable screams to force themselves out of my lungs.

He pulls his mouth away from my neck, his purring so loud to where it is all I can hear besides the sounds of our lower regions slamming together, one hand above my shoulder and the other holding onto my hip.

His eyes lock onto mine, his breathing deep to where it is practically panting with his mouth slightly open, my breathing almost just as intense coming from my mouth in pants as well.

I watch his eyes as he continues to fuck me relentlessly, the amount of muscle he is putting into this session would definitely have snapped a human's spine when he first started to pick up a pace.

The sound of my blood surrounding his size inside of me sounds so loud, mixed with our deep panting, our bodies slamming together along with my constant cries of bliss seems as though it is loud enough to be heard by the whole mansion.

Suddenly we hear the door to the basement open as Amon has returned, Axel hisses loudly before letting out a deep, terrifying roar toward the basement's stairs.

Immediately the door slams shut as Amon hears it, I smile a little in amusement and Axel spreads his wings as wide as they can be, flapping them hard and sending air flying all around us while he continues to pound into me.

I arch my back against him in pleasure, he moves his hand from my hip and slides it under my waist, lifting my body up against his tightly as I cling to him, pressing my head against his collar bone and closing my eyes tight.

All the intense pleasure and rough fucking causes my orgasm to spiral out of control, making me whimper and cry out against him constantly as my orgasm bursts, releasing wave after wave of my wet cum all around him while my body trembles uncontrollably.

He digs his claws into my back, drawing blood before roughly biting into my neck again, releasing a deep hiss of pleasure from his throat as his orgasm comes as well.

He plunges himself as deep as he can inside of me in the same moment he releases load after load of his hot seed deep inside, his wings shaking as he does.

My whines continue until my climax reaches its end, feeling the warmth of his release inside of me while he remains still, releasing against my cervix until his climax reaches its end.

My entire body trembles against his, slowly he releases my neck and moves his arm to lay me back down on the ground, I let go of his body and lie there unable to catch my breath with my eyes closed.

Our heavy breathing is all we can hear until the sound of his wings folding is heard, his purring continues and the feeling of his tongue against my neck sends pain through me as he licks the wounds closed.

Slowly I open my eyes to look at him, he gives me one of his smirks before looking over my body.

He moves down and slowly licks the skin between my breasts, enjoying the taste of my skin and sweat he made me produce.

"...A-are you trying to get me pregnant...?" I stammer out, watching him enjoy my body.

'If that is what you want.' He responds in a husky tone, moving to my neck and throat to continue tasting me.

I watch him, thinking about whether or not I'm ready for something like that.

The door to the basement opens again, Amon remains on the first story, not daring to descend the stairs, "...You guys finished...? I want my basement back..." His voice travels down to us, I laugh a little.

Axel releases a deep growl from the back of his throat in response, but is aware of our inconvenient location.

I watch him as he licks my neck again before moving his hips and pulling out of me before standing up.

Slowly I try to stand, but my legs are too shaky and unstable.

Axel grins at me in amusement before helping me up and carrying me to a different room with an old couch inside of it, torn up in places with stuffing bulging out of the holes.

He spreads his wings and flaps them hard, removing the dust from the couch before laying me down upon it.

'If you wish to avoid pregnancy, I suggest removing my seed from inside of you. Mating in estrus almost always results in offspring.' He suggests, running his clawed fingers through my messy, dirty hair.

Nervousness overwhelms me, I look around for some kind of cloth.

Axel assumes I am looking around for one, he stands up and rips some of the fabric off the side of the couch before handing it to me.

I take it and slowly sit up, placing it between my legs gravity takes over as I sit up, a large portion of the cum drips out of me and onto the fabric. Using my fingers I get as much of it out of me as I can. Once I remove as much of it as possible, I look at the fabric and realize the cum is an unusual color, a very dark grey that is almost black.

"Woah...that's different." I giggle, wiping my hands off and getting rid of the fabric.

Axel grins at me, knowing the difference compared to the color of a human's.

We hear Amon close and lock the door to the basement, "Thank you!" He shouts down the stairs before descending them.

I giggle a little and lay back down, now beginning to feel my muscles ache, especially between my legs.

Wincing, I look at Axel, "...How will I know if I'm pregnant...? Besides the absence of blood."

'You will know.' Is all he tells me.
