What does it mean to start over? To have everything you ever knew about your life suddenly disappear right before your very eyes. Whether it be from external forces, or from your own actions, this is an extraordinary task for any individual to undertake. Not only do you have to move on from every familiar instinct and ritual behavior you ever knew, but you also have to learn things you have never done before.
Most people don't have the ability to complete such a tremendous task. They would rather live life going through the motions, for no other reason than it's too difficult to start over. Want that new job? Well, you're going to have to learn new skills and work with new people. No thanks, that's too hard. What if I fail? I'm already good at my current job, and I get along with the people here, so I'm going to stay. Even though the pay is garbage, and the boss is a dick. Same thing applies to relationships. Gosh darnit, my spouse sure is a piece of shit. I really should just leave them and start over, but being single sounds lonely and miserable. Oh well, I'll just stay with them and hope things get better. Maybe they will change?
Spoiler alert: They will never change.
Nothing ever changes on it's own. You, yes YOU, must be the agent of change for your life. Take control of yourself. Take ownership of your situation. There is no such thing as Fate. That's just a coping mechanism for lazy people who don't ever take any responsibility for their lives. You got yourself into this mess, and you are the only one who can get yourself out of it. Don't ever let anyone sell you a blackpill. The situation is never hopeless. There is always another way. You just have to have the courage to do what must be done.
You must have the courage to leave it all behind, and start over. When you finally do this, you will know true freedom.
Too bad for me, I will never know true freedom. There are now FOUR apex predator monster girls living in my house. The first three have been a handful to say the least, but this new girl is a whole different challenge entirely.
For starters, she is a marine mammal. Despite being from the ocean, she doesn't have gills. That means she breathes air just like everyone else, except she doesn't like staying on dry land for too long. This means that I had to come up with some sort of aquatic accommodation for her.
Which brings me to my next problem. We don't have a pool at my house.
Much to the chagrin of the other housemates, I had Olga sleep in my bathroom for the time being, since the jacuzzi tub in there was the only thing we had that was big enough to fit her large body.
However, this problem would soon be solved. Today was the day it would finally be delivered.
**Ding Dong**
"S-sign here please?" A nervous man squealed as he stood in terror at the gigantic grizzly bear towering over him. She was growling at him, with a murderous look in her eye.
"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" Liz growled louder at him. She bared her fangs to show him that she was not to be messed with.
"Uh~um~I'm with the delivery company. We have a delivery at this address for Mr. Cole Casey." The delivery man was about to pee his pants when Liz turned around.
"Cole! Someone at the door for you!" I walked up to the door as Liz stood by, now much more relaxed.
"Hi there. Sorry about that. Don't mind her, she's actually really nice once you get to know her." I tried to lighten the mood while signing for the package.
"T-thank you sir." The delivery man choked up as he ran off, leaving the giant box near the front door.
"Liz, can you help me bring this inside?" I asked my housemate.
"Of course honey! Here, let me get that for you." The sweet bear lifted the giant box like it was nothing. The two of us walked inside, and gained the attention of the others.
"Woah, what is that huge box?" Priya gasped as she slithered off the sofa and into the main hallway.
"Crikey mate, thats a big fuckin' parcel ya got there." Ellie commented as she too was now turning from the sofa to see what this was.
"Ladies, this is Olga's new bedroom." I announced as I grabbed Liz's paw and started cutting the box open with one of her claws. Inside the box was an above-ground swimming pool.
"Yeah nah mate, the cunt's all broken. Ya may want to see if you can get your money back."
I rolled my eyes. "They shipped it like this, Ellie. I have to put the pieces together myself. Otherwise it never would have fit on the truck."
"Since Olga can't get up the stairs, I'm going to set this up in the office down here on the first floor. Liz, can you help me carry this stuff? I'm going to get my tools from the garage."
Liz nodded as she effortlessly carried the large pieces of plastic to the first floor office. This room was across the hall from my room, and was smaller than the other bedrooms, but big enough to house the Orca mermaid.
Once Liz had finished putting all the pieces in the office, I went out the back door to the garage. It was early summer, which means the weather was getting pretty hot outside. It was already late afternoon, so the sun was high in the sky, and the sound of cicadas could be heard all through the backyard.
I walked over to the garage door and unlocked it with the key that I kept behind the bush to the left. After opening the door, I looked at the huge mess that was inside the space. Everywhere there were boxes of junk strewn all over the ground, and various power tools every which way.
"What the hell happened in here? Shit, did we get robbed?" I whispered to myself while walking inside. Once I was completely past the door, I heard it slam shut behind me.
"What the FU~mmmmpphhh" I cried out before I was quickly silenced by a pair of scaly hands covering my mouth.
"Bom Dia, Cadela." A dangerous voice whispered in my ear. She sounded equal parts deadly and delicious, like a knife dipped in chocolate.
"W-whos there?" Despite all of my marine corps training, I found myself getting surprisingly scared.
"Ninguém em particular." She dripped softly into my ear.
"Why are you here? What do you want?" I asked much softer this time.
"Estou à procura de alguém. Talvez você possa me ajudar." Holy shit her voice is so sexy. Too bad I felt something sharp in my back. Please god, don't let me get a fear boner right now.
"Um, sorry I don't speak spanish."
The mysterious woman pushed me down to the hard concrete ground.
"Va se foder! Eu não falo espanhol. E Portugues, caralho! Ughh" She spat at me. I didn't know what to say, but I started hearing her flip through some pages in a book.
"Where is Ms. Smith? Do you know where she is?" She finally spoke to me in English. It's ironic, but she sounded much less sexy when speaking in English, and even less threatening.
"Ms. Smith? She's not here. I haven't seen her since the trial. My guess is she is probably with MON."
The mysterious voice grunted. "Porra! Ughh… Obrigado. Não diga a ninguém que eu estava aqui."
It sounded like she was starting to leave. "What? Sorry you lost me again."
"Se eu descobrir que você está mentindo, você é o meu rabo. So be a good boy, and behave yourself."
RIght when she said that, I heard a loud banging from outside the door. "Cole! Are you in there? I need some help with the pool assembly."
"LIZ HELP ME!" I yelled as loud as I could. In an instant, the garage door exploded, and light poured in from the outside.
"Honey, are you okay? What happened? Aww my poor sweet baby." Liz ran over and smothered me in her giant bear arms. I was so relieved to see her, but what was really strange was that when I looked around the garage, I could not see anyone else in here. It was as if whoever was in here had instantly vanished.
"Y-yeah i'm fine. I just slipped on some motor oil and fell down."
"Sweetie, you really need to be more careful. Come on, let's go back inside. I'll have Priya get you some water."
Liz helped me back inside and even carried my tools for me. She was already mothering me about this, so I didn't want to tell her about the mysterious woman in the dark. It's not like she would believe me anyway.
Still though, the whole experience left me shook. Who was she? Why was she asking about Ms. Smith? I have a bad feeling about this.

It took a few hours for Liz and I to finish building the above ground pool, but we eventually got it all done. It was nothing fancy, but it would have to do. I didn't really know where I stood with FIRE since the trial, so I was hesitant to ask them to build one for me. My guess was it was best to just lay low for now.
Speaking of FIRE, I haven't really heard from anyone over there in a while. It had been almost 2 weeks since the trial, and nobody has come to check up on us. Not Ms. Smith, not MON, not anyone. They were still depositing my bi-weekly stipend into my bank account, so I guess they hadn't kicked me out of the program yet. The girls were still here, which was another good sign. Sooner or later, something was going to have to be done about this whole situation, but until then, life seemed to be back to normal.
"Hey Olga! Come here!" I called out to the living room. She was in there watching TV by herself.
"Coooooole! Look Look we are on TV!" She pointed at the TV, seeming very excited. She was watching the news, and they were showing footage of the trial.
Good evening. Our top story tonight, more fallout from the landmark court ruling of USA vs. Casey. As this highly controversial ruling has been the topic of heated debates across the nation, more and more demi-humans are using this ruling as grounds to appeal their criminal sentences, and even be released from prison. Our top legal correspondent has more.
The news cut to some scrawny looking bald guy.
Last month, a Federal judge with the district of [Redacted] ruled that demi-humans would not face criminal charges due to exercising their natural self preservation instincts. This ruling, which is now being known as USA vs Casey, has begun a massive wave of appeal filings for previously convicted demi-human felons. Everyday, more and more demi-humans are being released from prison, after committing crimes like battery, assault, and even attempted murder. Their appeal basis? They were exercising their natural self preservation instincts. While this has posed a second chance at life in American society for many who were wrongfully incarcerated, there are those who are concerned that this will put criminals back on the streets of our cities. Criminals such as Aparecida da Silva, more commonly known as Aranha da Morte. She is an Arachne from Brazil, who was serving a 100 year prison sentence at the ADX Florence Supermax prison for over 10 different counts of premeditated first degree murder. She was just recently released due to the USA vs Casey ruling.
The news then cut to show a mugshot of a beautiful tan skin Arachne girl with brown eyes and long black hair.
"Jesus… 10 counts of first degree murder. All I wanted to do was get the girls out of jail, but I had no idea that this would happen as a result…" I whispered to myself. Olga heard me and put her hand on my knee.
"Nooo don't feel bad. It is okay. Cole did a good thing! TV man is just trying to scare you." She reassured me with that sweet innocent smile of hers.
"Yeah, you're right. Besides, i'm sure they have all sorts of feds tracking her behind the scenes. It's almost impossible for someone like that to just disappear. Still though, we should be careful going out from now on. Between that crazy Lilim, MON, and now all these criminals being put back on the streets, who knows what sort of dangers we could run into."
Olga gave me a confused glance. "Lilim? What is a Lilim?"
"Oh, right. You never met her. Ahhh you know what, don't worry about it. Forget I said anything. Now come on, let's go check out your new room!"
"Yayyyyy!" Olga cheered as I helped her into her wheelchair. As I was pushing her down the hall, I heard Priya slithering from the Kitchen.
"Hey, you may want to start dinner soon. Liz has that look again." My King Cobra housemate saw me.
"In a minute. Okay Olga, you ready? Close your eyes, and don't open until I say so." The large Orca mermaid did as I said. I stopped right in front of her door, and then started counting up.
"One. Two. Three!" I swung the door open as Olga opened her eyes. The look on her face was priceless.
The downstairs office had been remodeled to include an above-ground swimming pool that had depths ranging from 3 feet to 5 feet. Liz helped me rip out the carpet in here and cover the floors with rubber mats. The pool went almost from wall to wall, with maybe a 6 inch gap between. There was a small closet near the front of the room by the door, where Olga could keep any clothes she owned, or other personal belongings. The Ceiling fan had also been removed, and replaced with encased lights. We even repainted the walls to a nice sky blue color, and took some of the spare white paint to make little clouds on the wall. Needless to say, I was pretty proud of myself.
"WOOOOOWWWW! Cole its~is this for Olga?"
"Welcome to your new room, Olga." I pushed her wheelchair into the room, and she jumped right out of it into the pool. There was a loud splash, as water fell on the floor, but she took to that pool like a fish to the sea.
It was quiet for a little bit as Olga swam around under the water, but then she resurfaced and leaned over the pool edge.
"I LOVE THIS! It's like my own personal lake! Thank you so much, Cole. You're the best!" She clapped so loud I thought she was going to get blisters on her hands. I felt like the proudest man in the world at that moment. Man, something about seeing these girls so happy like that just makes me feel so good inside.
"You take some time in here to get settled in. I should go start working on dinner. Let me know if you need anything."
I closed her door and walked down the hall to the kitchen, where I ran into Priya and Liz.
"Get your stupid paws off that pantry door right this instant! Cole is going to have dinner ready soon, so you better not eat all the food." Priya was scolding the giant grizzly bear.
"Aww but I'm hungry now! Can't I just have one little box of cookies?"
"No means no! Now scram before I bite you!" Priya was standing up on her tail, but even while doing that, she was only at eye level with Liz.
"Cole! Just in time. I caught this overgrown carpet rummaging through the pantry. Would you please hurry up and get dinner started before she eats everything in the house?"
I breathed a long sigh. "Yeah yeah, i'll get started right now, but stop being so mean to dear old Liz. She did a great job helping me with Olga's room today, so she can have those cookies if she wants."
Liz cheered, and Priya sunk back down to her normal height. "B-but Cole~"
"~No buts. Now, run along you two." Priya slithered out of the Kitchen while Liz wrapped me up in a bear hug.
"Thank you sweetie!" Suddenly her aura turned violent. "But that's the last time you call me Old, understand?"
Oh shit, she's squeezing me too hard. Can't….breathe…..
"Y-yes"
"Yes~what?" Her voice dropped a few octaves.
"Yes Mommy."
She finally released me from her crushing grip. When we first met, I told myself that dying by being suffocated by her giant boobs would be a wonderful fate, but now I think I finally understand that old saying be careful what you wish for.
"Aww you're such a good boy! Call me when dinner's ready." She strolled out of the kitchen with two boxes of cookies in tow. Dammit, I said she could only have one. Oh well, no point in arguing about this now.

MON Regional Office
The hour was late, and several MON field agents were returning from another day out on patrol. Thankfully, there was not much action to report. Too much action at this job could spell a gruesome death for those unprepared.
"Gawwwd traffic duty sucks balls! Why can't anything cool ever happen in this town?" A sweaty undead woman groaned. Her spiky red hair was bouncing around now that she removed her hat.
"I-i don't really mind it. Most people in this town seem very friendly." A one eyed woman disagreed.
"Yeah sure, of course you like it, Manako. You're good at talking with the public. Me? I prefer talking with my SMGs!"
"Now now, zombina, Ms. Smith has told you many times before to use your words, not your guns." A giant woman with a huge horn on her head walked into the room. She was the only one of them not dressed in uniform.
"Here for the night shift, Tio?" Manako asked her.
"Yup! Hopefully it won't be too busy. You girls want some coffee? I just made a fresh pot."
"Sure, that sounds nice." Manako stood up and went over to the little kitchen area in the break room to pour herself some coffee. Zombina was undressing herself and was already down to her underwear.
"Yo, Tio, i'm going home." Zombina called out while putting on a t-shirt and jean shorts.
"Okay! Drive safe!" Tio waved. Zombina grabbed her keys and walked out of the office. While she was going through the parking lot to her car, she noticed that it seemed unusually quiet tonight. It was 2:00am, but even still, something seemed off.
Suddenly, all of the lights in the parking lot went out.
"Boa Noite, Cadela." A mysterious voice whispered behind her.
Zombina jumped and reached for her gun. "Who's there?! Show yourself!"
"Where is Smith?" The mysterious voice asked. Zombina cocked her 9mm to load a round in the chamber.
"I'm warning you! I'm an officer with MON, and I am authorized to use deadly force."
"You have 5 seconds to answer my question, before I ask your friends." Zombina turned around and couldn't see anyone.
"5"
She turned to face another direction. "4". All around her was nothing but darkness. "3".
"Dammit, I'm done playing games. Eat tungsten you bitch!" She started firing rounds into the parking lot, but didn't hit anything.
"2"
Zombina emptied her magazine and stood there holding the smoking gun.
"1"
Right on cue, the attacker made good on her promise, and lunged forth from the darkness. Striking Zombina in the neck with her massive fangs. The undead woman stood there, stunned. She can't feel pain, but the sheer weight of the giant monster was enough to bring her down to the ground.
"Mmmph, why aren't you dying? You should be foaming at the mouth with all the venom I pumped into you!" The attacker swore to herself.
"Dumb bitch, i'm a zombie, which means I can't be killed. You're wasting your breath. Now show yourself, so I can look you in the eyes when I take you down."
"Hmm.. a Zombie eh? That changes things. I suppose I should change my strategy." Suddenly, Zombina felt her huge pedipalps cut the stitches in her body parts, sending her scattered across the parking lot in pieces.
Suddenly, the parking lot was quiet, until Zombina heard the sound of running water.
"Hey, where are you? Come back here!" Her disembodied head cried out from the cold asphalt. After a moment, she heard her again.
"If you won't tell me where Ms. Smith is, then I suppose I will have to drive her out of her little hiding place."
The mysterious attacker lit up a match, and Zombina was able to get a good look at her face. She had tan skin, with long straight brown hair, eyes as black as night, and snow white teeth that were sharper than steel.
"Meu nome é Aparecida. But you can call me, Aranha da Morte." Aparecida then threw the match towards the office building, and the whole thing lit up in flames. Through the illumination of the fire, Zombina was able to see that the woman was actually a large Arachne.
Zombina watched her workplace go up in flames, and then in the blink of an eye, the Arachne was gone. Tio and Manako quickly ran out of the building, and any other MON staff who were still inside also fled. Finally, the last one out of the flaming wreckage was none other than Ms. Smith herself.
"Zombina! Are you okay? What happened?" Ms Smith ran over to help her friend.
"You need to get out of here! Someone is after you. Someone much stronger than the three of us." Zombina's disembodied head pleaded as Manako ran over to collect her body parts.
"Alright, I'll have someone take me to a safehouse nearby. You three see what you can learn about the person who did this."
"It was her! The giant Arachne they let out of supermax." Ms. Smith's eyes grew wide. "You need to get out of here NOW! GO!" Zombina cried out as her friends had now found all of her body parts. The Fire department was now here, and they were doing their best to put out the blaze.
Ms. Smith stood up and ran over to another MON officer. "Excuse me, but can you take me home? My car is currently on fire." The woman nodded, and the two of them walked over to an empty car and drove off.
Unknown to them, someone was watching from the trees. Someone they would both be meeting very soon.

Back at the Casey house, it was very late at night. Almost 4:00 in the morning. Everyone was sound asleep. The street was totally silent. No lights other than the lamp posts were shining anywhere. All of the neighbors were sleeping sound, and no cars were heard along the road, except for one.
A totally mundane, unmarked sedan was driving slowly through the street, until it pulled into Cole Casey's driveway.
The driver turned off the lights, then the engine, as both her and Ms. Smith got out of the car. They had made enough noise to awaken one member of the house.
As they walked up to the door, they both seemed nervous. Ms. Smith was about to knock, when she suddenly saw brown feathers falling in front of her face.
"You cunts better have a good fuckin' reason for coming to our house this late at night." Ellie soared above both of them. They could barely make out her shape from the dim porch light.
"Eleanor, it's good to see you again. Is Cole home? I need to ask him a favor."
"At four o clock in the fuckin morning? Yeah nah mate you're full of shit. Now beat it before I slice you into little bits."
"Eleanor, this is serious. My life is in danger! The MON office was just burned down. Someone dangerous is after me, and I have nowhere else to go. Please, I~"
Ellie had had enough. She perched on top of the roof of the house and started screaming as loud as she could. The sound was exactly like an Eagle would make in the wild when calling other eagles. All of the lights in the house instantly turned on, and soon the door opened with Cole holding a shotgun. Liz and Olga were right behind him.
"Who's there? Wait, Ms. Smith?! What the fuck are you doing here this late?" Cole lowered his shotgun.
"Yeah, we heard Ellie's alarm and came running. Thought you were a robber." Liz growled.
"So sorry to barge in like this so late at night, but I promise I have a good reason. Cole, the MON office was just burned down. My team was attacked by a dangerous demi-human named Aparecida. She was trying to kill me. I just barely escaped and I have nowhere else to go."
Cole thought about what she said. He turned to the others. Liz and Olga nodded.
"Let's talk more inside."
Ms. Smith and the other MON officer came inside and took a seat on the couch. Ellie flew down from the roof and came in too, making sure to lock the door behind her. Everyone was now in the living room.
"Olga, why don't you get our guests something to drink."
"Okie dokie!" The Orca wheeled herself to the kitchen as Cole asked the obvious question.
"So, tell us what happened."

"Fuckin' hell mate, that's some serious fucked up shit."
Ms. Smith sipped on her coffee as the group eagerly listened to her recount the events of a few hours ago. Basically the long story short is that someone put a hit out on Ms. Smith, and now the MON office burned down.
"The worst part is I can't even go home, so I figured this would be the only safe place for me to go. Who better to keep me safe than a group of the world's deadliest apex predators."
"Haha you're goddamn right, smithy! Ain't no cunts gonna come in here and mess with us! Between Lizzy and I, they wouldn't stand a chance." Ellie flexed her feathers with pride.
"Speaking of, where is Priya? I'm surprised she didn't come out running like the rest of you did?"
Liz rolled her eyes. "Oh please, that girl would sleep through a Tornado. You really think she would wake up for a silly alarm?"
Olga laughed. "Hahahaha yes yes, she would be late to her own funeral."
I stood up and grabbed some blankets from the closet. "Here, why don't you sleep on the couch tonight. You too miss?" I totally forgot to ask the other MON agent her name. It was hard to see what she looked like, since she was in full uniform, and her hat was covering her face.
"Oh, no, that's okay sir. I'll stay at a hotel nearby until I can contact my family. I appreciate it though." She shuffled a little bit, then stood up to leave.
"Thank you both for taking care of her. I should get going now. Sorry to bother you so late. I'll come by later tomorrow to check on her. You folks have a good night." With that, the MON agent lady walked out the front door and drove off into the night.
Ms. Smith was settling into the blanket on the couch as Ellie was heading back upstairs to bed. Liz was also making her way back downstairs to the basement as well.
"Hey Cole, thanks again for helping me out. I really appreciate it." Ms. Smith looked at me with surprisingly kind eyes.
"Yeah, no sweat. After everything you did for us at the trial, it's only fair."
I walked off to bed, but Olga stayed behind to have a few more words with Ms. Smith. I wasn't sure what she said, but Ms. Smith seemed to fall right asleep instantly.

The next day
Morning chores are always… well, a chore. Nobody here has any kind of employment, but we all seem to have our own routines to start the day. Ellie is always the first out of bed. She loves to "hit the skies" as I call it, so I need to make sure I have some breakfast ready for her when she wakes up. Since Eagles are carnivores, I usually make her something hot, like sausage or bacon. This morning was no different.
"Ahh G'day cobber. Something smells wonderful." Ellie smiled at me as she walked down the stairs into the kitchen.
"Mornin' Ellie. Thought I'd try something new today." The Eagle walked up to the skillet and took a big sniff.
"Go ahead and get a plate. Should be ready in a few." Instead of doing that, she wrapped her wings around me in a soft hug.
"W-what are you doing?" My face started turning red.
"Remember what I told you back at the beach? That morning in the hotel?" hmm…she told me a lot of things. What could she be referring to?
"Uhh.. you called me, and I quote, "a fuckin sick cunt". Is that it?" Ellie chuckled a little as she stroked my face with her wing.
"You ripper. No mate, I told you that I would always watch out for you. You been looking on edge the last few days, and with the whole shit with smitty, It's only gotten worse. I just want you to know that you have nothing to worry about. I'm always watching over you."
She finally backed off and grabbed a plate. "Now then, pour me some of that grouse grub!" I served her the breakfast I made, and she ate it with delight.
"Fuckin' hell mate, this is some good shit! What is it?"
"This is called Chorizo. It was on sale at the store, so I figured why not give it a try."
Ellie finished her breakfast, then took off into the wild blue yonder. Off to explore god knows where. Now that she was gone, the next chore was to get breakfast ready for the rest of the house. Olga and Liz usually wake up at around the same time. Liz was easy to feed, as that girl eats damn near everything. Olga is a little tougher, being from the sea, she only eats fish.
I searched through the fridge to see what to make for them.
"Dammit, we're out of fish. I'll have to swing by the store before they wake up." I quickly grabbed my keys and headed out the door.

It was just past sunrise, and there were a few cars on the road, but not many. The drive to the supermarket was pretty smooth, and there were plenty of parking spaces outside.
When I walked out of the truck, I started hearing some commotion from the alley behind it. At first it sounded like a man yelling, then I heard some loud slapping sounds. I also noticed a group of children crying near the store entrance.
"Hey, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" I asked the little youngsters.
"(sniff) B-back there…..There's someone bad! …T-t-tried to hurt us". The poor kids looked so shook up. I didn't see their parents around, so I did the next best thing and called the cops.
"It's going to be alright. Police are on their way. You just stay here, and wait for them."
I turned into the alley behind the store and saw one of the most horrific sights I have ever witnessed outside of a warzone.
Lying on the ground, was a man being brutally raped by a giant spider.
When I first joined the exchange, I heard about Arachne, and how they were famous for their sadistic nature. This girl was pushing those limits well past a kink and into a felony. The worst part was seeing the man beneath her writhe in agony. He cried out for help, but the girl noticed me before he did.
She turned to face me, and I saw her for the first time. She was gorgeous. Tan skin, dark brown eyes, and long straight black hair. The human half of her body was marvelous. Breasts that were bigger than Priyas, and only a little bit smaller than Liz. On her slender frame, they looked enormous. But even more amazing than that was her giant booty! Her spider form had a large abdomen, but even before that, her human half had the most amazing ass I have ever seen. Ellie's ass is amazing, but this spider girl had even HER beat down there.
"Hey~let him go! Stop!" I did my best to stand up to her, but I'm not sure it was working.
"O que você está olhando, Cadela?"
The man turned and finally saw me. The look in his eyes was one I knew all too well.
"Quer um pedaço disso, o burro?" Oh god, the way she was looking at me sent a sharp pain down my spine. She didn't even give me the courtesy to stop raping that man while talking.
Hang on, that accent… where have I heard that before? It sounds so familiar….
Regardless, I held eye contact and stood my ground. This giant spider was not going to get away with rape, especially not after what she did to those kids.
"First you attack a bunch of children, then you rape this poor man? All in broad daylight? Someone needs to put you in your place."
The giant spider stopped raping that man, and threw him into the dumpster nearby. She turned so that her entire body was facing me. She was pretty scare as is, but next she did something I have never seen a spider, or arachne, do before. She stood up on her hind legs, and raised her pedipalps in the air.
"You're next, Caralho!"
That's it. This bitch was really testing my patience. I was not going to stand her and be insulted by some bug like her. My feet picked up and I slowly walked towards her.
"Oh, então você está se aproximando de mim? Em vez de fugir, você está se aproximando?"
"I can't beat the shit out of you from way over there."
"Ho ho! Então chegue o mais perto que você quiser."
Once I got close enough, I swung with a right haymaker as hard as I could. She was fast, and expertly dodged the attack. I only had a second to react when she countered with a pedipalp straight for the ribcage. Thankfully I had enough hand to hand combat experience to dodge it.
"Wow, you dodged my attack. Impressive, but you're still dead, Caralho!" She tried the same attack again, and I dodged again, but she then countered with a left jab to my face. I didn't dodge, but I was able to block it with my own fists.
As we fought, the man who was previously being violated had now come to, and was trying to crawl out of the dumpster. He kept banging on the metal and crying out "HELP!" Overtime, it almost sounded rhythmic. Like a drum beat to a song.
"Huehuehuehue, I never thought I would ever meet a man who could take me in a fight. Have you trained Capoeira? You are quite skilled."
"I'm not like other guys." I swore while wiping some blood from my mouth after she managed to land a right jab. It's strange, the longer this fight seems to be going, the less serious she is taking it. It doesn't even feel like we're fighting anymore. It almost seems like we're… dancing? That guy in the dumpster is sounding like a chorus, and this spider girl seems to be getting turned on.
"What's wrong with you? What kind of monster attacks children and rapes men in broad daylight?"
The spider girl frowned at me. "Idiota! I was defending those kids from him. That bastard over there is the real criminal. You got it all wrong. I'm the hero!"
This was enough to make me stop fighting for a second. How could this crazy bitch not only deny the facts, but even go as far as to say that she was the hero in this situation?
[POW]
"Keep your eyes on your opponent, querido!" She knocked me with a left hook, but then had the nerve to wink at me. Hang on, is she flirting with me?
Before the fight could go on any longer, police sirens were approaching from the distance.
"Porra! A policia esta aqui."
[POW]
"Keep your eyes on your opponent, querida!" I knocked her with a right hook, and she gave me a sinister look. A mixture of shock, and anger.
"What did you just call me?" Her face was beat red. "How dare you call me that! Nobody calls me that!"
I gave her a playful smirk. "Nobody also beats your ass in a fistfight either."
This giant spider girl looked like she was about to kill me, but then instead started laughing out loud. "I guess you're right. Well then, senhor querido, I suppose it's time for me to leave. But before I go, let me tell you something important."
I dropped my fighting stance, and she dashed in front of me. I tried to break from her grip, but instead of locking me in a submission hold, she simply whispered in my ear.
"Meu nome é Aparecida." Just as quickly as she grabbed me, she threw me away and ran off into the trees behind the fence.
"Vejo você por aí, querido!"
Shortly after she left, the police arrived. They first met up with the children at the front of the store, then with me. I answered their questions, and filled out a police report. The children were taken back to the police station where i'm sure their parents were worried sick. They also found that guy still in the dumpster. Poor bastard, when EMS arrived, he was lying in shock, with a massive boner! God, how embarrassing. Well, I think it's time for me to get out of here.
Hang on, I still have to get my groceries!

Back at the house, I was almost done preparing breakfast for the rest of the household when Liz woke up and stumbled into the kitchen.
"Morning sweet pea~oh my god, what happened to you?!" She rushed over to see the scratches and bandages on my face.
"Oh, yeah I got into a fight at the store." Dude, you should have seen the look on her face. I've never seen her that pissed off before. She is normally so sweet, but that moment made me remember she is the deadliest girl in this house.
"Who. Did. This?"
"Ahaha don't worry about it was noth~"
"WHO. DID. THIS?"
"It-it-it was an arachne!" Dammit I sound like such a little coward right now. Hey, you would too if you saw Liz that angry. She didn't even say a word, just turned around and walked out of the door.
"Hey, where are you going? What about breakfast?"
"I'm not hungry." [SLAM]
Dammit. No point in letting this food go to waste. Guess i'll just finish cooking it all.
Olga was the next person to wake up. "Goooooooood morning Cole~oh my god what happened to your face?"
Considering Liz's reaction, maybe I should lie this time. "Oh, I cut myself shaving." Olga gave me a stern look, then bonked me on the head. "Clumsy Cole needs to be more careful!"
Thank goodness. She dropped it and ate her breakfast. You know, she's only been here a week, but i'm starting to like her a lot. I dare say she may be the only sane person in this house.
[Ding Dong]
Oh great, let me guess, Liz locked herself out again.
"Coming!" I walked over to open the front door to find someone who was not Liz. This blonde woman was dressed in a black business suit, and had dark sunglasses just like Ms. Smith.
"Greetings Mr. Casey, my name is Ms. Jones, and I am with the Federal Interspecies Residential Exchange. May I come in?" She sternly asked me while showing me her badge and ID.
"Umm sorry no, let's talk outside. I just cooked breakfast and it stinks in here." I quickly closed the front door.
AN: Remember anon, law enforcement cannot legally enter your home unless they provide a warrant signed by a judge, or if you invite them in. This is thanks to the 4th amendment which protects you from unlawful search and seizure of your private property.
"Mr. Casey, I came by to inform you that I will be your new Interspecies Exchange Coordinator starting today."
"WHAT?! But what about Ms. Smith?"
The agent adjusted her sunglasses. "Ms. Smith is no longer employed with the Federal Interspecies Residential Exchange. That is all I am allowed to say on the matter. Now then, I have some paperwork for you to complete."
Ms. Jones walked back to her car and pulled out a massive stack of forms. It must have been as large as a dictionary.
"Please have all of this paperwork completed by the end of the week. I will be coming over on Friday to pick it up."
"End of the week?! But it's already Wednesday!"
She gave me a stern frown. "Well then you better get started, Mr. Casey. Here is my card should you need to contact me for anything. Tell your homestays I said hello, and if there is nothing else, have a nice day." She got back in her car and drove off. What a bitch! First she drops a bombshell on me like that, then hands me a bunch of homework, doesn't explain anything, then leaves! God I hate the government so much it's unreal.
Which now brings me to my next problem. What to do about Ms. Smith? She's still sleeping on my couch, and when she wakes up, i'm going to have to tell her that she is now unemployed.

Meanwhile, at the park nearby
Liz had been sniffing the air all morning for traces of Cole's scent, and being the grizzly bear that she was, she could find the scent trail very easily. This scent trail led her all the way to a park a few miles away.
Inside the park, there was a group of kids playing soccer with an Arachne girl.
"Hey you1" Liz called out.
"Yeah? What do you want?"
She started growling. "You hurt my baby boy."
"Umm I don't know what you're talking about. I haven't seen any bear cubs around. You must have confused me with someone else." The Arachne went back to playing soccer with the kids, but Liz would not take no for an answer.
"Bullshit! His scent is all over you. You hurt him, and now i'm going to hurt you." Liz was cracking her knuckles, and the kids started getting scared. One of them even started crying.
"fiquem atrás de mim, crianças. Grande Irmã will protect you."
As Liz started walking closer, the Arachne stood up on her hind legs, towering over the grizzly bear. It was a sight unlike anything she had ever seen before. Pedipalps were cocked in an attack position, and she had all her weight on her back legs, ready to pounce. Liz, being a mother herself, recognized this woman genuinely wanted to protect these children, and stood down.
(sigh) "I've seen that look before. These children have seen enough violence in their lifetime. Why don't we discuss this like adults?" The Arachne woman lowered herself and nodded. "My name is Liz." She extended a hand. "Aparecida". "Nice to meet you. So, what happened this morning with my son."
"Well, I was out dumpster diving for food behind the supermercado, as Wednesday is usually when they throw out the rotten food. That's when I heard some cadela talking to these little ones. He was getting physical, and trying to get them to come with him to a van he had parked nearby. When he touched the garotinha, I lost my cool. I jumped out and bit him with all the venom I had."
Liz listened, but this story was not over. "So, what happened next?"
"I asked that cadela how he would feel if someone did that to him? So once my venom took effect, I gave him a taste of his own medicine. That's when that other guy showed up. He must have heard the little ones crying and tried to pick a fight with me. That's when we got into it."
"Wait a minute, so you're saying this whole thing is just one big misunderstanding?!" Liz's eyes lit up.
"Sim, it would seem so." The two of them even shared a laugh. "Wow Aparecida, I had the wrong idea about you. Here I was ready to rip your throat out, but it turns out you are actually a pretty nice young lady."
"Obrigado urso pardo." The kids seemed to relax too, as they all wanted to play with Liz.
"These little ones seem to like you a lot as well. You must be really good with kids. Do you have any of your own?"
Aparecida looked off into the distance, her mind recalling something she would rather forget.
"A long time ago~"
Liz stared off in the same direction too. "Yeah, I know what you mean." She looked down at her paw. "Believe me, I know all too well."
"What happened? If you don't mind me asking." Aparecida turned to face her.
"M-my son. He was just a cub. One year, we had a really hard winter, and he…. I lost him."
Nobody said a word for a while. The kids had already run off to play soccer with each other.
"Desculpe. That must have been hard."
"I could never live with myself. Live with the guilt. That's why I joined the exchange. To start over, and try again with my life. When Cole took me in, I couldn't believe it. So many other people had rejected me, or shunned me, or threw me away, just because of what I am."
Aparecida put her hand on Liz's paw. "That man, Cole, he sounds like a great guy."
Liz squeezed her hand. "He is my world. I love him more than anyone."
…..
"So what about you? What happened to your kids?"
Aparecida took in a long breath.
"When I was born, my father left me and my mother. For most of my childhood, it was just the two of us. We did our best to get by, but it was no life by any means. Then one day, when I was about 14, my mother grew very ill, and passed away."
…..
"When she was on her deathbed, she gave me an old photograph. It was her and my father. She told me to go find him, and that he would take care of me. I searched for almost a year, until I tracked him down in a shitty favela in Rio de Janeiro."
"Oh, you're Brazilian? I didn't know that."
"Sim, eu sou Brasileira. Anyway, once I found my father, I also found that he had started a new family, with a new woman. They had 4 kids together. 2 girls and 2 boys. The oldest was 10, and the youngest was just a few months old."
"What happened? Did he remember you?"
"Não. One day I knocked on his door, and his wife answered. She screamed, and started attacking me. He came running, and started attacking me too. I tried to calm them down, and explain that I was his daughter from my arachne mother. I even showed him the photo. He instantly recognized her, and his wife lost it. She screamed at him for hours, and then packed up her stuff and left. I will never forget what my father told me that day."
"Eu odeio você! Você é um monstro! Quem me dera que você nunca tivesse nascido!"
Aparecida started crying. Liz held her hand and asked. "Sorry, I don't speak Brazilian. What does that mean?"
(sniff, sob) "It means I hate you! You are a monster! I w~wish you….. w-were never born!"
The two of them sat together on the park bench for a while. Liz did her best to comfort Aparecida, but once she had calmed down for a bit, Liz asked her to finish the story.
"So what did you do? How did you end up here in America?"
(sniff) "My father, the man who brought me into this world, rejected me… Twice! Not only that, but I broke up his new family. His wife left him because of me. She never would have found out he had an affair with a fucking arachne, if I had just left him alone. Maybe they would still be together. Maybe the kids would still have a family."
"…. I was so angry. Confused. Lost. I spent that night wandering around the favela, until I heard the sound of children screaming. It was coming from inside a house. When I looked inside, who else did I see but my own fucking father. He was beating his children. Not just a spanking for misbehaving, no this was fully closed fists to the face. Their screams still haunt me to this day."
Aparecida started getting angry.
'SUINO! That fucking suino! I ran into that house, and I slaughtered him like the fucking proco that he was."
She turned and faced Liz, her face red from crying, her eyes full of malice.
"I KILLED HIM! In front of his children! I tore his guts out and sprayed the walls with his blood. And do you know what? I'm not sorry. I don't regret anything that I did. He was a piece of shit, and he deserved to die."
"Aparecida…"
"But once my rage ended, I looked and saw the faces of my half brothers and half sisters. The fear in those eyes… I will never live that down. Imagine seeing a giant fucking spider break into your home, and murder your father right in front of you. Those poor kids will be scarred for life, and it's all my fault." Aparecida started bawling now. The kids playing soccer had heard this, and ran over to comfort her.
"Hey, hey, it's okay. You're not a monster."
"YES I AM! Once the local gangs heard about what I did, they recruited me into their ranks. Liz… I have killed… so many people… by the time the police finally arrested me, I was one of the most wanted criminals in all of Brazil."
…..
"None of it really matters though. I will never see my half brothers and half sisters ever again. And that's fine. It's for the best really. Why would they even want to see me? The giant monster who killed their father. That's all I am… a fucking monster. It's all I will ever be. This is my fate, and there is no going back."
"That's not true!" Liz stood up. "It's never too late for a second chance! Believe me, I know. Cole gave me a second chance at life, and maybe the same can happen to you too."
Aparecida stopped crying. "Y-you think so? Ha, I doubt it. The only reason I am even in this country is because I was hired to kill some federal agent. A woman named Smith. As soon as she is dead, they're going to send me right back to jail. Right back where I belong."
Liz tried her hardest to not act suspicious. So this woman was here to kill Ms. Smith? Then that means she was telling the truth last night? Things just got a whole lot more complicated.
"Look Aparecida, you may hate yourself, but I think deep down, there is still good inside of you. The fact that you still care about your half brothers and sister, and the fact that you even protected these kids earlier, means you still have the ability to be a good person."
"It's getting late, you should probably get back home."
Liz stood up and looked around. "Yeah, you're right. It was nice meeting you, Aparecida. If you're ever in this neighborhood again, you're always welcome at my house anytime."
Aparecida smiled at her. "Obrigado urso pardo."

A few days later
It took an all nighter, but I finally managed to finish that giant stack of paperwork that Ms. Jones gave me to do. Also, I managed to tell Ms. Smith what happened, and needless to say, she was not very happy.
Ms. Jones came by to pick up the paperwork, but was also suspiciously asking about my involvement with Ms. Smith. Me being the savvy anti-government asshole that I was, remembered the golden rule when dealing with folks who glow in the dark.
Admit nothing. Deny everything.
She was certainly suspicious of me, but that is something I could handle. The real problem we have to deal with, is what to do with Ms. Smith? She was still sleeping on my couch, and I couldn't just keep her here forever.
"Hey Cole, you may want to come see this." Priya called for me from the living room. She was watching the local news. There was a picture of Ms. Smith on the screen.
Our top story tonight, a new suspect has emerged in the arson investigation of the FIRE office downtown. Kuroko Smith, a former employee, is currently the prime suspect in this investigation. Authorities claim that she was a disgruntled employee who was recently let go, and that was her motivation for starting the fire. The suspect is currently at large, and if you have any information on her whereabouts, you are urged to call the sheriff's office immediately.
Also new tonight, US. District Judge Samuel Kent was recently found dead in his home last night. You may remember he was the judge who ruled over the controversial USA vs Casey trial. The FBI issued a statement today, saying the judge's death was ruled a suicide, despite the coroners office reporting that the judge had several gunshot wounds in the back of his head.
"Those mother fuckers! I didn't start that fire, it was that fucking arachne. First they fired me, now this?! God damn, my life is over." Poor Ms. Smith, she was having a mental breakdown.
"Now now, let's take a step back and think about this for a minute. FIRE is obviously coming after you. Can you think of any reason why?" Priya asked her.
"It has to be retaliation. I never should have opened my big mouth at that trial."
Priya slithered over to try and comfort her. "Hey now, don't say that. Ellie, Liz, and I are all free, thanks to you. What you did was extremely brave, and you should be proud of that. Nobody else would have the guts to go after FIRE like that."
"Y-yeah I guess you're right. But still, what am I going to do? I am a wanted criminal now."
Olga wheeled herself into the room. "Yeah but only in this country. Why don't you just go to another one?"
Everyone in the room stopped.
"Olga, you're a genius!" I ran over and hugged her. "Yayyyy! Cole said Olga is a genius haha."
Ms. Smith, pack your bags. We're getting you out of the country, and we're leaving tonight."
X
It was just after midnight, and we were all still awake. Ms. SMith had finished packing all of her stuff hours ago, but now were just waiting for the right time to head out. Priya, Olga, and Ms. Smith were all ready to go. I nodded at them and we went outside together.
We were loading up the truck, when a sexy voice called out in the night.
"Where do you think you're going?"
I turned around and saw a sexy arachne walking towards me from the darkness.
"Boa Noite, Querido."
"It's you! Aparecida. What are you doing here?"
"Ohh… just finishing up a little… project that i'm working on. In fact, I could really use your help right now."
She pointed at Ms. Smith. "This woman, she needs to die. Right now. Please don't get in my way."
Priya and Olga jumped in front of Ms. Smith. "NO! You can't kill her! We won't let you!"
"Hahaha, and just what are YOU going to do about it? This one is an overgrown reptile, and this one is literally a fish out of water. Step aside before you both get hurt."
Priya was getting mad, so she did what she always does when she gets mad. She stood up on her tail as tall as she could.
"Try me bitch!"
Unfortunately for her, Aparecida stood up on her hind legs, and was at eye level with the King Cobra.
"Saia do meu caminho, cadela!"
The two were caught in a standoff, at least until a bunch of bright lights started shining on them from the street.
Several cop cars lined the street outside my house, and there were at least a dozen MON agents in full riot gear waiting for us.
"Kuroko Smith, you are under arrest for burning down the MON field office. Surrender now, or we will have to use deadly force!" Ms. Jones said from a megaphone behind the cars. The girls and I took cover behind my truck, and Sida just stood there.
"Shit, I didn't expect them to get here so fast. That fucking Jones was always one step ahead of me." Ms. Smith cursed under her breath.
"What do we do now? We can't just give you over to them?" I asked her.
"I need you guys to buy me some time. Trust me, I made a call to some friends earlier. Backup is on the way. We just need to stall before then." She winked at me.
Meanwhile, sirens were heard off in the distance as police cars from the sheriff's office came screaming down my street.
"Aparecida da Silva: you are under arrest for rape and sexual assault. Surrender now or we will have to use deadly force." One of the cops announced from another megaphone.
"Vão para o inferno, seus filhos da puta!"
The cops had shotguns loaded with rubber bullets and tranquilizers. Sida did not move an inch. This girl looked so badass right now.
"Sida stop! You can't attack them! The interspecies exchange act forbids demi-humans from attacking humans." I yelled at her. She must have heard me, because she turned around and gave me a smile.
"You think I give a fuck about your laws?"
Shit, my yard was about to turn into a blood bath, unless a miracle happened.
Right on cue, a miracle flew right out of the sky.
She landed gracefully on the grass, and spread her wings out to protect Sida.
"Put those fuckin' guns down ya cunts! This one's innocent. I saw the whole thing. She was acting in self defense to protect some little buggers from a pedo."
"Ellie!" I cried out. "Where the hell have you been?" She turned and winked at me. "Same place I always been, mate. Now then, you cunts ready for me to give a statement or what?"
Well, that takes care of one set of cops. Now about the other ones.
"Kuroko Smith, you have until the count of three to come with us peacefully. One. Two."
[BOOM]
The sound of a .50 cal sniper rifle echoed in the distance, as one of the MON agents fell to the ground. They all started rushing forward, but Sida stood her ground.
"Va se Foder, this one's mine!" Sida jumped and sunk her fangs into one of the MON girls. She fell to the ground, as more started to swarm her. Sida stood up, and using her Capoeira skills, she was able to hold her own in a fist fight with these demi-human girls armed in riot gear. Most of them were just your standard lizardmen, but there were a few werewolves in there too.
"Cole, Watch out!" Priya lunged forward to attack an MON girl who was running right towards me. She bit into the small crack between her helmet and shoulder pads, taking the lizardman down.
Meanwhile, Sida was getting outnumbered. There were about 8 MON girls surrounding her.
"It's over, stand down!" One of them shouted. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a giant paw smashed the MON girls helmet clean off. Knocking her to the ground instantly.
"Liz! Obrigado, urso pardo."
"Anytime, amigo. Now then, don't you assholes know it's rude to wake a sleeping bear? You have 3 seconds to get the fuck off my property before you life ends."
"One"
"Dois"
Liz and Sida cocked their fists back. "TRES"
What happened next could only be described as pure carnage. Fists moving so fast my human eyes could not keep up. All I heard was the sounds of armor snapping, and two very pissed off demi-human girls screaming as loud as they can. In no time at all. Every single MON agent was on the ground except for Ms. Jones and a few stragglers.
Liz and Sida were breathing hard as they both turned to look at her.
"You're next, Caralho!"
Before they could finish the job, a spiky red haired girl covered in stitches emerged from behind the trees.
"Thanks, but we'll take it from here!" Right as she said that, a giant woman rose from behind the MON cars and towered over Ms. Jones.
"I think it's time you leave these nice people alone."
The remaining MON agents were squirming under the giant girl, but Ms. Jones stood firm. "Sorry, but I cannot leave here without Kuroko Smith."
"Sorry, but you got the wrong girl." Everyone turned to see a naked black girl with long white hair standing where Ms. Smith was just a moment ago.
"DOPPEL?" I blurted out, along with all of my girls.
"Haha, you thought you were going to capture smith, but it was I, Doppel! Ahahaha!" The little girl tired to do a maniacal laugh, but it fell on deaf ears.
(ahem) "yes it was me the whole time. Ms. Smith knew what you folks were up to from the start, so we devised this little diversion. To buy her enough time to escape. If everything went as planned, she is halfway to China by now. Or was it Japan? I don't know, I always get those two countries mixed up."
Poor Ms. Jones. She looked like she was about to pop a blood vessel, she was so mad.
"You!... This isn't over!" She rounded up all of the MON agents, and they quickly fled the scene. The cops were still there, simply enjoying the show. See, human police are not allowed to attack demi-humans, per the interspecies exchange act, so thats basically all they could do.
"Okay….well….you folks have a nice night." And with that, they all got the hell out of there.
X
Now that the fight was over I had some questions for the MON girls. Zombina explained it as best as she could. Basically they knew that Ms. Smith was a dead woman walking after spilling FIRE's top secret plan during my trial, so they devised a plan to get her out of the country as quickly as possible. The problem was making sure to cover any possible loose ends. That would mean they had to wait for an assassin to show up, likely hired by FIRE, to eliminate her. Once the assassin took care of any remaining evidence she was alive, Doppel would impersonate smith and fake her death, while the real smith would escape on a one-way flight, completely undetected.
"So does that mean, that the MON officer who came over that first night with you, was the real smith this whole time?" I asked Doppel. She nodded.
"Wow… so Ms. Smith is really gone now, huh?" Priya seemed sad to learn about this. Funny, I always thought she hated Ms. Smith.
"Yeah, looks like it. But now we have a new problem. What do we do about her?" I pointed to Sida.
"o que você quer dizer?"
"por que ela não fica aqui?" All of us turned and looked at Olga with a shocked expression.
"Olga?! You speak spanish?!" Priya asked the Orca mermaid. "Yes, but our friend here was actually speaking Portuguese. And before you ask, yes I speak Portuguese too."
Ellie whistled "Fuckin' oath mate. Just how many languages do you speak?"
Olga smiled "Lets see: English, spanish, portuguese, french, german, dutch, japanese, korean, chinese, russian~"
"~Okay Olga we get it, you're like a super genius. Back to the topic at hand." I faced Sida. "Well, what do you say? Do you want to live here?"
Sida looked around at the girls. Ellie nodded. "She's great in a fight, and she has no love for those cunts at FIRE. She'll be right, mate."
Sida turned to Liz. "You already got my vote".
Finally she looked at Priya. "Ughh.. fine. Whatever. You can stay if you want. But keep your hands off Cole, got it?"
"Senhor Casey? Meu querido? Can I stay here?"
(sigh) "after you kicked all that ass, how could I say no?" Sida practically jumped at me as she smothered me with kisses.
"Ohhhhhh meu amor! Muito Obrigado! I promise I will be the best housemate ever."
Everyone was happy, except for Priya. Her jealously was showing again. Except this time, Olga seemed to agree.
"Hold on, you can't call Cole meu amor! No no not allowed!"
I didn't know what that meant, so I tried to play it off. "Haha yeah, besides, we still have a score to settle with that Capera from the other day."
"Ugh, first of all, it's all Capoeira. Second, if miss peixes won't let me call you meu amor, then i'll just call you Vida instead."
"Oi cunt, can't you just speak fuckin' english? Nobody knows what you're saying."
"Nao galinha. Nobody in Brazil speaks English, so i'm still not very good yet. Maybeeee… you can teach me, vida!"
This girl is something else. The whole time she has been talking to everyone, she has never once let go of me. And I thought Priya was clingy…..
"Hey you let go of him right now! I don't like how close you two are getting." Priya commanded.
"Oh meu deus, cale a boca vagabunda. Vida, is she always like that?" Sida looked at me with loving eyes.
"Ehh.. you get used to it."
"Cole! Don't take her side!" Priya pouted. Liz finally stepped in and brought some order to the group.
"Alright everyone, it's late, let's all head back inside. We'll worry about this in the morning."
Yes, we certainly will. Sida seems nice enough, but time will only tell how this ends up working out. This house is now up to 5 apex predator monster girls, and i'm almost at my wits end. As crazy and dangerous as these ladies are, I can't imagine how my life would be without them.
TO BE CONTINUED...
AN: Bonjour dear reader! Olá querido leitor! Thank you for reading my story, and I hope you enjoyed this chapter. What do you think of Sida? Is she your new waifu? Who is best girl? I wanted to write a latina character, but despite all the wonderful countries in south america, Brazil is my most favorite. World class beaches, the greatest women in the world, and Brazil is home to the worlds most venimous spider, the Brazilian Wandering Spider. I'm actually studying Portuguese IRL, and am currently saving money to go on holiday to Brazil someday. Brasileiros, please forgive me if my Portuguese is wrong at any point in the story. I am a native english speaker who is still learning your wonderful language and culture. Also, I hope this chapter helped to provide some closure on the FIRE trial from last chapter. The first major arc of the story is finished. I wanted to "kill off" Ms. Smith's character, but I didn't want to kill her, so I thought this would be a fun way to get rid of her. Plus it helps explain how she ended up in Japan in the original Monmusu universe. Maybe Cole and the gang will get to see her again? Maybe Darling and the girls will make a cameo in the future?
Also, the trial was a good way for me to segue into the next arc. Dangerous monster girl criminals are on the loose, and they will start making trouble for the Apex Predator girls. Not only that, but the mythical girls are on the loose as well, straight out of MGE. Cole will need to call upon his old nemesis, Lily, in order to deal with them. Will they be able to put the past behind them to work together? Also, more characters from Cole's past will get introduced, and we will finally get to learn more about him, and what happened to his parents. All this and more will be released in the next arc of the story.
Next time on Everyday Life with Apex Predators: Nichijou chapter! The next chapter we will be taking a break from the main story, and it will be a series of mini-chapters featuring various "day in the life of" episodes about our favorite Apex Predator monster waifus. See you next time, and GO BE ALIVE!
Here are some fun facts about Brazilian Wandering Spiders:
-The Brazilian Wandering Spider currently holds the guniess world record for most venimous spider in the world.
-The Brazilian Wandering Spider does not produce a web. Nor do they dig a burrow. They are active hunters, and spend most of their time wandering the jungle floor in search of prey (hence the name).
-They are also referred to as Banana spiders, because they are usually found on banana leaves
-This spider is also famous for it's agressive defensive posture. When threatended, It will raise it's front legs in the air, and fully expose it's fangs and pedipalps. It looks like the spider is much taller than it is, and is very similar to how a king cobra raises itself when threatened.
-Their venom is deadly because it attacks the nervous system. However, one side effect is that their venom has been known to give a man very painful erections.
-When Brazilian Wandering Spiders mate, the male inject the sperm into the female's egg sack, which is located inside her body. Unlike most spiders, the male spiders usually survive the mating process, as long as they leave the female shortly after mating.
-Brazil is the only latin american country that does not speak spanish. (They speak Portuguese, Caralho!)
-Brazil is the largest country in south america, and the fifth largest country in the world behind China, USA, Canada, and Russia.
-Brazil has 4 time zones, and the capital city is Brasilia (not Rio)
