It was noon. Clawdeen and I are now walking through the streets of the city, while the girl had a smile looking around her and I was looking around seriously.
"Very good. Where will we go now? To the ice cream parlor, to the shoe store?" Clawdeen asked with a smile but the girl's smile disappeared when she saw that I was seriously looking at a bench. Before I could speak I suddenly covered my ears tightly as I heard a loud scream.
"Benja. Are you even listening to what I'm talking about?" Clawdeen asked angrily. That made me nervous seeing the cold eyes of the girl.
"We already talked about this. You need a break. Now, give me your Icoffin, your cell phone, your communicator, and your hero outfit." the girl said seriously before reaching out to me.
"But Clawdeen." I quickly covered my ears when the girl showed me the whistle she was using on me.
"Yeah." Was all I said, and without saying anything else I gave all my things to the girl. Clawdeen took my things and put them in her bag before crossing her arms.
"Listen Benja. You have a serious problem, you've been so long in your role as a hero that you don't even remember the things a normal teenager does anymore. So from now on, no Icoffin, no cell phone, no saving the world. You and I will have a fun afternoon." Clawdeen said seriously making me look at everything with concern.
"But what if." I yelled as Clawdeen blew his whistle again.
"I said we'll have a fun-filled afternoon. If you disobey me or run away, I'll put a collar on you and blow my whistle every time you misbehave, got it?" Clawdeen asked seriously causing me to nod silently as my ears slowly lower. That made the girl's smile return.
"Very good. In that case. First stop, to the clothing store. We must find a style for you." The girl said before leading me to the Maul. But we never noticed a certain spectrum next to us.
"Wraiths. This is juicy." Spectra said with a smile before following us.
Clawdeen and I are now at the mall, just like last time, the werewolf girl started giving me multiple pants, t-shirts, coats, hats, panties. I slowly started to have a hard time carrying everything until now in my hands was a huge mountain of clothes.
"Clawdeen, don't you think this is too much?" I asked with difficulty but then the girl dragged me to a nearby fitting room with a smile.
"We're going to one of the biggest cheer camps of all. Obviously we need all of this." Clawdeen said with a smile as the girl dragged me into a fitting room.
"But Clawdeen." I tried to speak but the girl silenced me by putting a finger on my lips.
"No comment. I'll go get some shoes, no offense Benja. But those shoes have passed on to a better life." Said the girl pointing at my shoes. I looked at my feet for a moment only to see that my shoes were very dirty and almost destroyed.
"I think so. I forgot to put on my training boots when I was training." I said shyly making the girl roll her eyes with a small giggle.
"I'll be right back. Until I get back I want to see the clothes you'll take on the trip." Clawdeen said with a smile before leaving.
As I look at my reflection in the bedroom mirror. I thought about what Clawdeen had told me and about everything I'd been doing.
Vacation. I had never had a vacation to myself before and especially to get away from my life as a hero. But I can't deny that the werewolf girl was right in everything she told me at Monster High. However, he still wasn't entirely sure about leaving the city. Memories of that night's dream still had me very concerned.
"Clawdeen. Is this correct?" I asked concerned looking at the clothes in my hands. Suddenly my fox ears went up as I heard a scream, I quickly ran out of the store only to see someone running with a bag.
"My bag. Thief!!." The man was laughing until he suddenly bumped into someone. He was about to scream but he froze when he saw me.
"I'm sorry. But I'm afraid that bag isn't yours." I said before releasing gas from my mouth. The man began to cough before falling to the ground asleep.
"I'm back." Clawdeen said with a smile as in his arms were bags full of shoes.
"Benja? Are you still there?" The girl asked when she saw that she was only silent.
"Thank you elemental mage." The wolf girl now had a throbbing vein before seeing me face off against some monster girls while a thief was dragged away.
"No problem. I like to help." I said smiling but then I saw one of the girls give me a number.
"Call me." The two girls left laughing while I was somewhat nervous but then I was grabbed by one of my ears by Clawdeen.
"Clawdeen hurts." I said with some pain as the girl dragged me into the store before forcing me into one of the fitting rooms.
"What did I tell you?" The girl asked seriously making me nervous.
"But Clawdeen." I tried to speak but was silenced when the girl hit me over the head with a newspaper.
"No Clawdeen. There goes your first strike, if you miss two more times I'm going to put a collar on you and make you spend the whole day with me. Understood?" The girl asked seriously making me nod with a nervous smile.
"Yes Clawdeen. I'll be good, I promise." I said with fear. My Kitsune instincts and my nerves made me see the wolf girl as some kind of alpha.
"Benja. You never wash your hair properly!? Look at this, broken ends, it's very hard and very unkempt." Clawdeen was in complete horror. For her and the girls, hair was a very important thing for a monster.
"Let's not waste time. We must fix this now!" Before he could say a word, Clawdeen dragged me away after paying for the clothes. As much as I tried to speak, I had to keep quiet and try to keep up with the girl to avoid falling.
Clawdeen and I arrive at a beauty salon. When we arrived at the place, the wolf girl immediately asked to be attended to, once we were attended to, the monsters that were yetis took me to perform a special treatment on my hair and skin.
"Clawdeen. Isn't this overkill?" I asked with some nerves. My face now had a moisturizer, some cucumber slices on my eyes while my hair was being treated by the store managers.
"Don't worry Benja. With this treatment you will look monstrous." Clawdeen said with a smile. The girl was right next to me with the same cream and the same hair treatment.
"Thank you but. Clawdeen, how long are we going to take?" I asked nervously but was silenced when the girl put a chocolate in my mouth.
"Shhh. Just let go and relax." Clawdeen said with a smile as I leaned back and ate the chocolate. The music of the place, the softness of the treatment and the aroma of incense were generating a peace in me that I did not think I would feel. My muscles felt relaxed, my instincts were calm, and my mind seemed clear of all concern. And without realizing it, I started purring.
However. Peace was stopped for me when I heard a noise, I got up and removed the cucumbers from my eyes only to see some monsters stealing something from a sports store, although no one was listening, my Kitsune ears were helping me. I looked at Clawdeen for a moment and then at the monsters, I got up and quickly went to face the thieves.
"Man, I'm tired. Do you think the boss will compensate us for these overtime hours?" A werewolf asked as he placed some boxes on a shelf.
"Don't worry. I'm sure that with all this the boss will surely be proud." A skeleton said but then the two monsters were startled when they saw some roots grabbing some boxes.
"I'm sorry, thieves. But they chose the worst place to commit their crimes." I said seriously but that scared the monsters a lot.
"Wait! This is not what it seems, we work here, we are not thieves!" The werewolf shouted in fear. That statement made me look more analytically at the two monsters, I felt my heart sink when I saw ID cards with their names on their clothes.
"Well. The thing is that my friend and I have been working since early morning and it was very cold today, plus our uniforms were wet." I listened to everything and nodded my head silently. I felt completely terrible, but for the explanation, I would most likely have hurt innocent people.
"I understand. Please let me help you with this misunderstanding." I said before stretching out my hands. Some roots grew from the ground and slowly my plants began to quickly organize the store and in less than two minutes, all the boxes, t-shirts and balls were in their places.
"Thank you very much, Elemental Mage. Sorry for the scare we gave you, I'm sure being a hero is not easy as everyone thinks." The werewolf said with a smile but he and the skeleton noticed that I was gone.
I didn't have the courage to show my face to those two monsters. I felt completely guilty, I was very close to using my magic against those two young men who were just working. Clawdeen's words echoed in my head when I was at Monster High, then I thought about my time at the beauty salon.
"At the beauty salon. I felt so at peace, I felt like all the worry was gone. But now, I feel like that's gone." I said in frustration. The peace I felt had vanished the moment I put on my hero suit. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard a loud deafening screech, when I turned around I felt a chill as I saw Clawdeen approaching.
"BenjamÃn. What did I tell you about separating from me!?" The girl shouted in anger.
"Clawdeen. I can explain." I said in fear but was suddenly pulled by the ears by the girl back to the beauty salon.
After spending another session under Clawdeen's withering gaze at the beauty salon. Now we were in a movie theater, only with one small detail.
"I didn't think you were serious." I said with surprise and nerves. Now I was wearing a collar and leash and Clawdeen was holding on to the leash like I was a pet.
"Benja. When I said something, I meant it. It's for your own good, now, let's enjoy the movie." Clawdeen said seriously as the movie played on the screen.
I sat silently watching the movie as I thought about everything that happened today. The happy moments I had with Clawdeen were still happening in my mind, but especially the moment of relaxation in the beauty salon. How many moments like that did I have in Metropolis? I thought about that question and began to see the different scenarios.
My training days with Diana, Kara's concerts, the magic shows Zatanna and I have, the times I helped Karen repair her armor, when I stayed up late with Barbara. My chases with Selina, the pranks I make with Harleen, the visits to Pam's garden, my rehearsals with Leslie, the training I do with Doris, my meditation sessions with Tatsu, Momoyo, Kazuko and Yukie, the trips with Barbi, together to Junko and the other girls.
On those days, as much as they were relaxing times, we would be interrupted by a robbery or monster attack. But now, I noticed something I had never seen before. I loved the girls of my dimension, each one of them, but the days we spent. Because I never felt at peace like I do now, Clawdeen?
That question has now opened up a lot in my mind since I arrived in New Salem. My date with Frankie, my cheerleading training with Cleo, the times I spent in the school clubs, and now the day I'm spending with Clawdeen. My body was in complete peace and calm, despite the attacks of Waps and the other villains, my body did not stop feeling at peace with the girls.
A question suddenly hit my mind like an arrow. What would happen if I refused to leave New Salem to return to metropolis, and yes. Diana and the rest of the girls in Metropolis, will they stay with me in this dimension? Although that worried me, the worry only lasted a moment. Clark was still in Metropolis, Barry, Hal, Carter, Garth and Oliver were responsible enough to take care of the city.
Clawdeen turned around only to see that I wasn't paying attention to the movie. The girl pulled on my leash making me stop thinking.
"You're thinking about your hero life again, right?" The girl asked with annoyance. That, in addition to making me blush, also made me lower my head a little.
"I was thinking. About this day, and comparing it to my days in Metropolis." My statement caught Clawdeen's attention a lot, making the girl pay attention to what I was going to say.
"I enjoy my days in Metropolis, but. I have never felt as relaxed as before, when we were in that beauty salon, I felt in a peace that I had never experienced, but when I put on the hero suit, I felt that peace disappear. vanished." I said looking at the wolf girl. That surprised Clawdeen a little before nodding his head.
"Benja. In Metropolis, are you happy? I mean, I'm not saying you're not happy in your dimension, but do you feel at peace?" Clawdeen asked curiously. The girl's question hit me hard in my mind as if Bane had hit me.
It made me doubt everything. Am I really happy in Metropolis? Of course it was, I had my friends and the girls with me, we were like a family but. And if I think for myself, without taking them into account. Am I really happy? How many days I long for a hug from my mother, how many days I miss hearing my brothers' laughter, a grandmother's warm kisses, my uncles' jokes or seeing my dad smile.
There were days when I would come home and Diana had gone to train with Momoyo and Tatsu. The house was always empty, there was no one to welcome me or give me some love when I needed it most in my loneliness. Those days, I just killed my sorrows in ice cream before going to the room to cry. All for what?
I love girls, my friends and everyone but. Because despite having his love, understanding and affection. Did it make me feel empty?
"I do not know." Was all that came out of my mouth in response to Clawdeen's question. At that moment I felt something and noticed that the girl placed her hand on mine.
"Come Benja." Clawdeen said before standing up.
"Wait, Clawdeen but. The movie?" I asked surprised, making the girl laugh.
"It's not as good as I thought. Come on, let's get out of here." The girl said before we both left the movie theater.
"We must find a way to gladden your heart and I know exactly what to do." Clawdeen said with a smile while I followed the girl.
"But. What are we going to do? I mean, umm me." I didn't know what to say but then I was silenced when the girl put a finger to my lips.
"Relax, honey. This girl knows how to have fun and I know how to make someone happy, now relax and listen to the teacher." Clawdeen said before pulling me through the mall.
Happy - ( By Pharrell Williams )
Clawdeen was happily walking through the mall while I followed close behind to see what we were going to do.
( Clawdeen. )
It might seem crazy what I'm 'bout to say
Sunshine, she's here, you can take a break
The girl took my hands and did not hesitate to dance with me before throwing me spinning into a clothing store, causing me to land on a chair.
I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don't care, baby, by the way
Clawdeen approached me with a smile while in her hands were different articles of clothing. Like a tornado, the girl did not hesitate to change my clothes and she even changed her clothes to something more flashy and fashionable just like me before leaving the store.
Because I'm happy
Clap along, if you feel like a room without a roof
Clawdeen looked at me with a smile as the girl walked at a melodic rhythm, the girl's gaze was inviting me to follow her steps, something I began to do with a slight smile.
Because I'm happy
Clap along, if you feel like happiness is the truth
Clawdeen took me to a section full of candy in the mall, the girl grabbed some candy for me to try. I was very surprised when I tried each sweet, they were even more delicious. I didn't know if it was my enhanced senses or the sweetness of the candy. But I felt like I couldn't stop eating them as Clawdeen led me around the room.
Because I'm happy
Clap along, if you know what happiness is to you
The girl grabbed a heart-shaped candy before putting it in my mouth. I blushed before smiling shyly and eating the candy as the girl took me to another section where there were people trying out musical instruments.
Because I'm happy
Clap along, if you feel like that's what you wanna do
Music filled my ears and I was moving to the music with Clawdeen while the girl continued singing making me smile even more.
Here come bad news, talking this and that
Yeah, well, gimme all you got and don't hold back
At that moment I touched something with my foot and saw some bass drums, bongos and other instruments. I couldn't resist and played the instruments while laughing, Clawdeen and played the instruments with me before continuing our tour while following the girl with a slightly bigger smile.
Yeah, well, I should probably warn you, I'll be just fine
Yeah, no offense to you, don't waste your time
Here's why
Clawdeen took me to an overgrown session to show me around before grabbing a rose and handing it to me. I grabbed the flower with a shy smile before putting it in my hair, but then I grabbed a flower and put it in Clawdeen's hair. That made the girl blush a lot but we both smiled happily before continuing walking but I decided to sing with the girl.
(Clawdeen And Me. )
Because I'm happy
Clap along, if you feel like a room without a roof
The girl and I began to dance together among the flowers while we both enjoyed the fun and the music. I took a flower before giving it to Clawdeen, she blushed before smiling and kissing my cheek. That made me blush but we both laughed before continuing to have fun.
Because I'm happy
Clap along, if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along, if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along, if you feel like that's what you wanna do
Clawdeen and I decided to go out into the city to enjoy some peace and fun. First we went to play video games, then to have ice cream, and then I accompanied Clawdeen to look at some bags and shoes.
(Happy) bring me down
Can nothing (happy) bring me down
My level's too high (happy) to bring me down
Can nothing (happy) bring me down
I said
Afterwards we both went to look at clothes, to the park, there was no place we didn't go. The girl and I couldn't stop singing and having fun together.
(Happy, happy, happy) bring me down
Can nothing bring me down
My level's too high (happy) to bring me down
Can nothing bring me down
I said
While I followed Clawdeen. Something was happening in me. I felt completely different, I felt at peace, I felt happy, I felt full of energy. But, there was something else. My heart was pounding, every time I saw the girl, my cheeks would get hot and my heart would beat like crazy. This was a very pleasant feeling.
Because I'm happy
Clap along, if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along, if you feel like happiness is the truth
Without noticing. Clawdeen was going through the same situation as me. What we did were things that, for the girl, were everyday and common, but. For the wolf girl, this wasn't just an ordinary friends' outing. Although her mind told her that, her heart made her feel otherwise.
Because I'm happy
Clap along, if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along, if you feel like that's what you wanna do
With the sunset arriving. Clawdeen and I decided to buy some things to end the day on a high note. After a little shopping, the girl and I decided to go back to Monster High. We were both laughing before heading to the school bell.
Because I'm happy
Clap along, if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along, if you feel like happiness is the truth
Clawdeen's heart slowly became stronger and stronger as we both climbed until we were at the top of Monster High. That thought that we are on what was supposed to be a normal outing turned into something more. For her, this was a date.
Because I'm happy
Clap along, if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along, if you feel like that's what you wanna do
C'mon
Peace was in the air as Clawdeen and I watched the sunset. We both had smiles full of happiness. My heart was now calm, those thoughts that tormented my mind were gone. But above all, the hero thoughts were gone, and now there were the thoughts of any teenager. Or rather, monster like me.
"This place has the best view at sunset, don't you think?" Clawdeen asked shyly. The girl was struggling to relax her heart, but the peace of the place and the fact that we are alone. It made her feel strange.
"It's true. I, I had no idea New Salem would be so relaxing. I can't wait for the metropolis girls to be here." I said smiling but Clawdeen looked at me with concern.
"Benja. I don't want to hurt your feelings but what will happen if they don't come? I mean, even if we defeat waps and take away his machine, it will be almost impossible with the villains of Gotham at his side, and especially that you barely your body gets used to the fact that you're a Kitsune. It could take days, months, or even years." Clawdeen said with concern making me think.
Zatanna and Giovanni were the only people I knew with the ability to open portals to dimensions. But, still, I knew that even with that power, it was impossible for them to find me. A cold feeling invaded my body while I looked at my cell phone for a moment to see a photograph of my entire family in Metropolis.
"Clawdeen. Do you really think they won't come?" I asked with some pain but then I saw that Clawdeen took my phone and put it away before hugging me tightly. I could feel that cold feeling leaving and now I felt like my heart was pounding.
"Even if they don't come. We are going to take care of you, this will be your new home and we will be your family. We are going to stop waps together, not only as a team, we will be your family, your friends. And we will be by your side, until the last day of our lives." The girl said with a smile as she gently caressed my cheek making me blush really hard.
"Clawdeen." I looked into the girl's eyes with my heart racing. We both looked at each other as we felt the world stop.
Slowly we both started to get closer to each other, ours started to close but before we could get any further. Clawdeen's cell phone started ringing. Internally the girl was furious, if she was Clawd, she was going to make sure to hit her brother with a newspaper. But that anger went away when we saw that the call was from Draculaura.
"Draculaura, hey sister. Is everything okay?" Clawdeen asked curiously while the girl answered the call.
"Guys, where were you? I've been calling all day, the trip to Dark Beach is tomorrow. Do you have everything ready?" Draculaura asked. The vampire girl was currently immersed in a mountain of clothes.
"Oh shit. I totally forgot." Clawdeen said in surprise as he remembered the trip.
"Is Benja still with you? Tell him to please come to my house. I need him to help me organize my clothes." Draculaura said with concern.
"Okay. See you Draculaura." The wolf girl said before ending the call and then looking at me.
"Benja. Draculaura needs your help to pack her clothes before we leave for Dark Beach." Clawdeen's statement surprised me a lot.
"My God, the trip. I almost forgot but what am I going to do with my clothes?" I asked in fear looking at the shopping bags where my clothes were.
"Don't worry about the clothes. I'll take care of that, you go help Draculaura okay?" Clawdeen asked with a smile making me look at the girl.
"Thank you very much Clawdeen. I owe you a huge one." I said smiling before kissing the girl's cheek. That left the girl stunned while I prepared to fly.
"Umm Clawdeen. Thank you for the day we had, perhaps. We should repeat it when we return from the dark beach." I said smiling making her come back to her senses.
"Oh, I would love to. And this will be a reminder of this day." Clawdeen said before taking off the leash but I would still keep the collar making me smile with a blush.
"Thank you Clawdeen. See you tomorrow." I said with a smile before flying away while the girl looked at the strap for a moment and then saw the direction I went with a smile.
Overnight. Clawdeen had no problems putting my clothes in suitcases, after all I know everything, she was a lover of clothes so luggage was not going to be a problem. However, that doesn't stop her from falling asleep hugging one of my shirts with the strap on her nightstand.
Clawdeen's dream.
When Clawdeen slowly opened his eyes. I notice that she was in a completely different room. Around her she noticed that there were many posters of her with different fashion designs that were incredible, multiple mannequins, sets of fabrics, sewing machines and more things. When she sat on the bed, she noticed that the bed was now much bigger than two people.
"My beautiful designer woke up from her dream?" When Clawdeen looked ahead. She noticed that I was at the door of the room with a tray full of food and a bouquet of flowers.
"Benja?" Clawdeen's face turned red as I kissed her on the lips. That kiss had felt so real that it almost made his heart leap out of his chest.
"I'm very proud of you, darling. Your last fashion show was a great success, I knew you would make it, not for nothing are you fierce in fashion, and also in bed." I said with a mischievous smile but that made Clawdeen even redder.
"Benja, me. umm." The girl tried to think clearly, but suddenly the moment was stolen when a girl walked into the room. The little girl was wearing a white kimono with a red skirt, her hair was white as snow, her ears were kitsune as well as the tails that were inside her back and her eyes were a beautiful color amber like Clawdeen's eyes.
"Mom, Dad, come on. I'm going to be late for class." The little girl said with concern making me laugh.
"Don't worry, Abigail. Dad will take you to work, mom has to rest now. Wait for me in the car, okay?" I asked with a smile making the girl smile before leaving.
"That girl. Did she just call me mom?" Clawdeen asked surprised. The dream was so real to her that he could clearly feel that her heart was about to explode and her body was letting out smoke.
"Yes, that's right, darling. I'll never forget when she said her first words, ah. Our little princess grows up very quickly, don't you think?" I asked with a smile gently caressing Clawdeen's cheek.
"I think so." Was all the girl could say. She slowly approached me as I approached her. When we were both about to kiss, a loud sound startled Clawdeen.
Clawdeen screamed in surprise before looking at her cell phone. It was her alarm clock, after the girl turned off the alarm clock I looked for a moment at my shirt in her hands and then at the strap she used on me yesterday. The dream, our date, my happiness, the moments we spent together. The girl at that moment remembered her talk with Toralei, making her look again at her hands with the belt and the shirt.
"Toralei is right. I'm in love with Benja." Clawdeen whispered to herself looking at my things in her hands. Despite her happiness and deep love, she remembered that I was in a relationship with Frankie. However, that also bothered Clawdeen.
"Frankie. Damn lucky, she has Benja but she doesn't even know how to take good care of him." Clawdeen said with anger and jealousy but then the girl covered her mouth when she realized what she said. The girl didn't mean to insult her best friend, but slowly she thought about what she said.
"Frankie doesn't even know that Benja was going through severe depression. That means that if I show more interest and protection to Benja, there's a good chance he'll start having feelings for me and we'll both end up together. I'm sorry, Frankie, you're my best friend, but I think Benja is going to need someone with courage in her life. It's for us and for my little Abigail." Clawdeen said before going to the bathroom to get ready.
We were all at the entrance to Monster High waiting for Clawdeen. Frankie was with Cleo and Lagoona while I was with Draculaura checking the list to see if we forgot anything.
"Sandals for the beach?" I asked as I was using roots to carry the suitcases onto the bus.
"Nine pairs. Swimsuits?" Draculaura asked with a smile helping me while she used her bat form.
"Enough for a carefree summer. Sunscreen?" I asked with a smile as I placed the last suitcase on the bus.
"You never forget that." The girl said with a smile before showing me the sunscreen. After speaking, we noticed Cleo approaching us.
"I hope everyone is ready for this trip. But especially, I imagine they have left room for the uniforms, right? And that Benja's uniform is repaired." The Egyptian Girl said but that horrified Draculaura.
"Fangs I knew I forgot something!!." Draculaura was about to start unpacking the suitcases but then she noticed that I had our uniforms and mine was like new.
"You're very lucky that Benja remembered. By the way, Benja, I like your new necklace." Cleo said with a smile making me smile.
"Thank you Cleo. It's not like my grandfather's necklace but I still like it." I said smiling but my statement made Draculaura feel like a dagger hit her heart making her let out some tears. That worries me a lot.
"Draculaura. Are you okay?" I asked with concern. That made the girl quickly look at me as she wiped away her tears.
"I'm fine. I just, umm. The sun is very strong, I better get on the bus now!!." Draculaura shouted before quickly getting on the transport. Cleo bit her lip slightly, Frankie told her about my necklace so the Egyptian girl was internally regretting having noticed the new necklace Clawdeen gave me.
"Has anyone seen Clawdeen? I thought he'd be here." Frankie said with concern but then we heard footsteps and when we turned around I was very surprised to see Clawdeen walking to where we are, but the detail that caught my attention the most was that the girl was wearing the shirt that she bought for me.
"Clawdeen. It's good that you're here, but what are you wearing?" The Stein girl asked curiously but then she noticed that I was blushing. That made Frankie's eyes lose their shine for a moment.
"What this? Oh well, Benja had to go help Draculaura so I decided to help him with his clothes but. I really liked this shirt, what do you think Benja?" Clawdeen asked with a smile looking at me.
"You look, you look good." I said very blushing making her smile.
"Alright guys. Bring up the suitcases, we should leave soon." Cleo said before leaving with Ghoulia for the bus.
"Don't worry, Cleo. I'll help Benja." Clawdeen said with a smile before helping me with the bags. Frankie could see the wolf girl's smile, she suddenly ran to us and grabbed my hand.
"I'll help you too Benja!!." the girl shouted before starting to lift one of the suitcases. Clawdeen was a little upset but he decided to stay quiet and help me carry the other suitcases with Frankie.
After loading the suitcases we went to sit down. I was going to sit with Frankie but I was grabbed by the arm by Clawdeen.
"Come with me Benja. I want to show you some designs I've been working on, maybe you'll like them." The girl said before leading me to a seat so we were both sitting. Frankie saw that and also sat with us, leaving me in the middle of both girls.
"I want to see too. It won't matter, right Clawdeen?" Frankie asked with a forced smile making the wolf girl smile the same way with a throbbing vein.
"No. It doesn't bother me, Frankie." The wolf girl said as the bus slowly began to leave the school.
As we were leaving, I looked out the window for a moment as we began to leave the school. Although a part of me was worried about the city, I slowly stopped paying attention to those thoughts and continued listening to Clawdeen while the girl showed me the designs. For the first time in a long time, I now felt at peace and extremely happy. Possibly, I found my new home and my new family.
That's it for today's chapter. My sincerest apologies for my disappearance these past few days, but I was feeling uninspired and making it difficult to think of a new chapter. But now I'm back and I'll fight to try to bring more chapters as usual. Still, I hope you liked the chapter and I also hope you are enjoying the story so far.
I really appreciate the wait and I also hope everyone has a good day, afternoon or evening. See you later, goodbye dattebayo.
