Dagon was running through the wooded area, like his life depended on
it. The sounds of thumping could be heard behind him as he dashed
through the forest, ducking and weaving the best he could. Trying to
use the underbrush to his advantage to get away. Why him… WHY
HIM?!
That question ran
through his mind, as he duck under a fallen tree and kept running.
The sound of the same tree breaking under the weight of what was
chasing after him, made Dagon pick up speed and run even quicker.
She was getting closer. Things became a blur as Dagon tried to move
faster through the dimly lite forest. However no matter how fast he
ran, the sounds of his pursuer not only keeping pace, but even
growing closer rang through his ears. Dagon was done for if he
didn’t find a way to lose the giantess chasing after him. Yet no
matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t do it. She was hot on his
heels as the sound of rapid footsteps grew closer. Why Dagon agreed
to do this was beyond him, but it was too late to back out now.
The more Dagon tried
to use the forest to his benefit the less ground he made, in fact it
only seemed to be slowing him down. This giantess was super
persistent and pretty fast for her age. How was she so fast? Dagon
could only blame her parents for giving her such good genes. As that
thought crossed his mind, something swung at him. Dagon barely had
time to duck and stumble forward, just missing the first attempt at
grabbing him. As much as Dagon wanted to curse at how close that
was, he held his mouth shut. He just needed to make another thirty
feet or so before he would come across a steep cliff he could use to
lose his soon be captor. Dagon pushed his legs to move fast as he
could feel the hair on the back of his neck rise as a could sense the
hand of the Giantess quickly approaching him.
It was going to be
close!
Just two more step-
Suddenly two thick
hands larger than Dagon’s entire arms clamped down on his side.
Dagon let out a startled nose as he was hefted easily off the ground
with his feet still moving, running in place.
Dagon was caught.
Knowing it was
pointless to struggle, he let out a tired sigh as he was turned
around to face the one holding him. Dagon looked upon the young
three year old Giantess that held him in her grip. She was easily
ten or eleven feet tall, her goofy child like appearance was made
clearer with her grinning and toothy smile. A look of victory on her
face.
“I WIN AGAIN,
DADDY,” Ashley cheered with delight.
Dagon would have
been happy if it were for his pride of being bested by his own
daughter in a game of hide and seek. “Yeaaaah you sure did,”
Dagon hide his annoyed feelings of defeat behind those words. As
much as Dagon didn’t want to admit it, he was a sore loser.
Ashley let out a
happy giggle as she brought Dagon closer to herself. It wasn’t
till it was too late, as Dagon’s daughter was bringing him in for a
tighter hug. Dagon immediately wanted to protest but his daughter's
hands and arms wrapped around him. Such a simple and loving embrace
caught Dagon off guard, as did the strength behind the young girl.
Dagon let out a
groan as his daughter held him tight. Just like any young girl with
a doll or stuff toy… only Dagon wasn’t feeling very comfortable
being bear hugged by his daughter right now.
“Ash-ley- too-
tight,” Dagon gasped feeling the young giantess demonstrating her
strength by squeezing the loving life out of her father. This was
not a way that Dagon imagined going out, dying from a hug. He could
start to see stars when the all too familiar voice of Ashley’s mom
calling out to her.
“Ashley, put Daddy
down,” Melody called out in a very motherly tone.
Dagon heard his
daughter’s answer filled with laughter, “Okay mommy!”
Dagon felt the
pressure on his back from the hug subside as he dropped the two or so
feet to the ground. Dagon winced and rubbed at his back before
turning to see the others approaching from the woods. The two
giantess, Melody and his sister Cindy slowly emerging and coming into
view. He spotted Olivia sitting on Cindy’s shoulder.
As soon as Melody
got closer, Ashley went dashing toward her mom. Dagon was left alone
to catch his breath and watch his enormous giantess daughter be
picked up by the behemothly tall woman. Ashley was busy shouting “I
won, I won!” Over and over again as Melody praised her on such a
good job. Dagon didn’t comment as he let out a tired sigh.
Cindy snickered as
she got closer to Dagon, “What’s wrong brother, that’s the
third time you got caught. Are you letting her win on purpose, or…”
Cindy’s smirk grew wider, “Are you just getting old?”
“I’M NOT THAT
OLD,” Dagon barked at his annoying sister. It seemed she was
delighted in teasing his age recently. Dagon grumbled as he hated
the fact that Cindy wouldn’t stop reminding him of how old he was
getting. Now, Dagon wasn’t a grandpa, but he swore he found a gray
hair the other day. Not to mention he felt like he could have out
ran his daughter a few years ago, easily, but Ashley was a growing
Giantess, which meant she would only get faster.
Melody walked closer
holding Ashley I n her arms, who was retelling her mother about how
she beat her father. Melody asked with a chiding tone, “Now Dagon,
you’re not taking it easy on Ashley cause she’s your daughter are
you?”
“Taking it easy,”
Dagon repeated in disbelief, still catching his breath from not just
the running he did but the compression on his body from the victory
hug. Recovering his breathing, Dagon rolled his eyes at Melody’s
remark. “The whole point was to teach Ashley how to hunt and
track. There’s no point in going easy on her.”
“Well than,”
Melody remarked sounding proud of the new. “It seems someone is
becoming a big girl,” Melody cheerfully praised Ashley in her
arms.
“YAAAA,” Ashley
cheered with the motherly praise.
Dagon couldn’t
help but feel affection toward his daughter’s joy. Sure this was
all “training” in his eyes. He didn’t want his daughter to not
be able to survive out there if something happened. As Melody still
roamed the lands as any traditional Giantess would, there was the
small possibility something could happen. Leaving Ashley to fend for
herself, that was Dagon’s and Melody’s worse nightmare. That was
why they came up with this “game” for Ashley to play. Granted it
would be better if she were trying to capture animals, but being this
close to Hagger’s town, the animals living around here were too
small or had been hunted already. Dagon figured it was better for
Ashley to practice with him rather than not know at all. However a
deeper part of him hope that this didn’t somehow impact her view on
people. That was his biggest fear, that he was implanting into
Ashley’s young mind that it was okay to capture people for fun.
“I’m sure it’s
just Dagon getting old,” Cindy causally tossed out.
“I’M NOT THAT
FFFF-” Dagon quickly remember his child was nearby, “Freaking
old! What about you miss twenty-” Dagon watched Cindy’s eyes
widen as he was about to say her age out loud. Her index finger
moved so fast that Dagon almost didn’t have time to dodge her
stabbing at his mouth to shush him. The finger just missed Dagon’s
face.
“SHHH! Don’t
you even say it,” Cindy hissed glaring daggers at him as she pulled
her finger off the ground after the attempt on his life.
Dagon just chuckled
as it looked like he still had the speed to out maneuver his massive
sister. She still glared at him, but didn’t make another attempt
like before to silence him. Dagon made sure to stay just out of her
reach, just in case Cindy wanted to do a sneak attack when he wasn’t
prepared.
“Hey,” Dagon
goaded on, “Facts are facts. We’re not as young as we think we
are,” Dagon told Cindy. If not more to convince her than himself.
After years and years of being on the run or meandering around, it
wasn’t till the last few recent years that Dagon started to feel
himself settling down. He had a lover, a company/business, and a
social life inside Hagger’s town. His once non existent human life
in these cities had changed. He knew people by their first AND last
names. He traded and talked with them. Shared daily information
with them. He was part of the community, something he swore he would
never be part of if he was asked a couple of years ago. As much as
Dagon didn’t want to admit, he was becoming domesticated. Hell,
he even had a dinner with Cindy and her father tonight, something
that needed a freaking dress code for.
Melody chimed in, “I
don’t know, I still think you’re still in your prime.” Melody
gave Dagon a look that let him know exactly what she was thinking.
It was like any other year, she was craving a little of Dagon. It
was clear she had some lust for him, espically around this time of
the year.
Dagon wanted to groan at the hint that Melody
was trying to drop on him. As many times as Dagon tried to let her
know that he wasn’t interested, she always gave it an attempt.
Every year, she would offer or make an attempt at putting a move on
Dagon. Luckily he avoid or found a way around her needy approach for
him, Dagon let out a grumbled sigh before saying, “Well, I think
everyone has had enough fun for the day.”
Ashley was the first
to respond. She let out a sad whine, “No more play?”
“No big bean, not
for toady. Maybe another day,” Dagon offered.
Dagon’s daughter
looked upset but didn’t make too much of a fuse over her father’s
words.
Cindy picked up
Dagon, she gave him a look that meant she was still a little upset at
Dagon. However this wasn’t anything new. They both fought,
argued, and said stuff, but at the end of the day, they were
siblings. They went through some stuff and they were bonded together
with more than just blood.
Dagon was put on the
other shoulder from Oliva. It was awkward for Cindy to walk with two
people sitting on the same shoulder, so she had to split them up. It
wasn’t new for Dagon and Olivia to be on separate shoulders. This
didn’t stop them from talking to one another with Cindy in the
middle as she walked them back to the city.
Olivia spoke first,
“Big night tonight.”
Dagon nodded trying
not to show any sign of worry, “Yeah. Dinner with your dad… oh
joy.”
Olivia gasped as she
picked up the last sarcastic part, “What’s that suppose to
mean??”
Dagon winced as he
realized his tone came out wrong. Well, not wrong, he wasn’t a fan
of Olivia’s dad. So when he spoke with disdain in his voice, well
he wasn’t looking forward to tonight, but Olivia didn’t need to
know that. “… What? We both know he doesn’t like me. And I
sure as heck told you how I feel,” Dagon defended himself. Both
Dagon and Olivia’s old man were not close. Dagon didn’t know if
it was cause he wasn’t a prince or something, but the unspoken
hostility her father had toward Dagon was clear. Dagon couldn’t
help but reciprocate it back to the king.
Olivia, on the other
hand wasn’t feeling it, as she gave Dagon a look. Dagon rolled his
eyes at her but finally after a few thumping steps from Cindy, he
gave in. “I’ll be there! Just don’t expect me to be happy
about it.”
Olivia gave Dagon a
smile as she leaned into him and put her head on his shoulders, “I
know it’s hard, but please… for me can you behave for one
dinner?”
Dagon grumbled but
gave in, “If I can survive a dean of Giantess, I think I can last a
single dinner with your father.”
Before Olivia could
show her happiness to the resposne Cindy beat her to it. Cindy let
out a soft chuckle, “Oh what I wouldn’t give to see MY brother,
trying to be all proper and polite.”
Dagon shot Cindy a
look that only caused her to antagonize Dagon more with her smirky
attitude. Dagon rolled his eyes and looked away from his sister as
he spoke, “Shows what you know…”
Olivia loved Dagon
and Cindy but they could be a pain in her butt with how much they
bickered and fought each other. Granted their family relationship
was strong, so much that they would do absolutely anything for each
other, but there were times, like right now, where they would do what
they could to get under each other’s skin. Olivia spoke up, “Well,
I think Dagon looks good in a suit. It makes him look like a proper
gentleman.”
Cindy gave Olivia a
“what are you talking about” look, but Melody was the first to
speak, “Really? I wouldn’t mind seeing him in one. Maybe next
time we see each other, Dagon could dress up in this, suit, and I can
see for myself.”
Olivia was the first
to respond to the Melody’s curiosity. It sounded like she didn’t
know what a suit was, or what they are usually used for. “Well,
suits are more for like,” Olivia tried to think of the proper words
that wouldn’t insult or start a fight with Melody, “human get
together. They wouldn’t really be suitable for…” Olivia
gestured to the surrounding forest, “Outdoors…” Olivia
explained.
“Oh…” Melody
frowned at those words. “Not for outdoors? Than what’s the
point? You people have weird customs,” Melody said shifting Ashley
in her arms.
Olivia didn’t
dwell too deeply on Melody’s response to her words. It was clear
she didn’t understand Olivia or what kind of standards they had for
situations like a fancy dinner.
It wasn’t till
they were just a few miles form the city of Hagger’s town did Cindy
stop and let Dagon and Olivia down. Melody also stopped before
putting Ashley down on the ground, “Don’t forget to say bye bye
to papa.”
Dagon wasn’t ready
when his enormous daughter came up and plucked him off the ground and
gave him a sloppy kiss on his forehead before saying in a child like
demeanor, “Bye bye daddy! I HAD FUN!”
Dagon brushed off
the little layer of spit left on his head before saying giving his
daughter the best hug he could for her size. Melody was up next,
“Will we see you tomorrow?” Olivia could hear the wanting in her
voice. As much as Olivia had gotten used to Melody’s presence and
her desire to be with Dagon, it still didn’t rub her the wrong way.
Olivia had to keep from making a noise at the request.
Dagon slowly nodded,
“Pete doesn’t need me till next week. I still have time.
Besides I would like to see Ashley one more time before you two head
off for the month.”
Olivia didn’t
understand all the customs of Giantess. How they were mostly
nomadic, roaming around the lands. Some, like Melody, had a home or
a place they called “home”. Somewhere they always came back to.
Kind of like migratory birds returning from the season. Yet, not all
were like Melody, or that was Dagon’s explanation. Some just kept
roaming till it was their time to pass on. Just like his mother.
A familiar voice
was heard behind a large tree, “Your majesty.”
Olivia recognized
Nancy’s voice before she saw her. Always being proper, even out
here in the wilderness. She had come to escort Olivia and Dagon back
to the city and, of course, to talk with Cindy. It had been over
three years since Cindy and Nancy first met, and they were still
seeing each other whenever they could.
After greeting
Olivia like a formal maid always did, she next turned and bowed like
she did to Olivia toward Cindy. “My goddess…”
Cindy immediately
turned a dark crimson shade from blushing at those words. “St-stop…”
She muttered, “Not in front of the others….”
Dagon let out a deep
sounding sigh, “Look sis, I love you but not gonna lie, that’s
some weird stuff you’re into-”
Cindy turned an
almost impossibly darker shade of red than she already was from the
embarrassing greeting, “I-wh-me- she does it on her own!”
Olivia looked toward
Nancy and watched a small tug of a smile twitch at her lips but as
always, she seemed to remain very calm. It seemed teasing Cindy
wasn’t just Dagon’s job after all.
Before the two
siblings could get into a shouting match, which Olivia was sure Cindy
would win due to her size, Nancy spoke, “We should head back soon,
you know how your father is when it gets this late. The dinner is
also approaching. I’m sure Master Dagon will need to get ready, if
he wants to try and make it to this dinner.”
Dagon flinched at
the tone that Nancy put into that last part. As much as Dagon hatted
to say it, he had bailed on more than one dinner with Olivia’s
father. Sure the first few times he couldn’t help it, but it would
be a lie if Dagon didn’t find an excuse to dodge as many as he
could. Something about the king just always rubbed him the wrong
way, and than the way he felt like he was ignored most of the time…
like why even show up? The only obvious answer was, for Olivia.
Dagon grunted, “I’ll be there.”
As Nancy started to
leave with Dagon and Olivia, to head back to Hagger’s town, Nancy
stopped. She turned and caught Cindy before she could leave, “I’ll
see you tonight in the usual spot my goddess, till than,” Nancy
properly bowed to a blushing and bewildered Cindy.
Cindy’s words were
still calling out as the others were leaving, “It’s not what you
think!”
Dagon sat as still
as if he were hiding from a forest creature or even a giantess. Even
his breathing was shallow as not to give himself away at the dinner
table. All around him were nobles or fancy dressed people. There
were so many of them, that they had to have come from other towns.
He didn’t recognize any of them, cause he never had to deal with
the upper classed, besides with Olivia and her father. However, here
he was in a crowded dinning room, sitting at a table with a bunch of
classy looking rich people who were enjoying themselves. Something
he wasn’t familiar with and certainly didn’t want to be here for.
The only thing keeping him there instead of leaving to a more
comfortable spot, was the soft smile Olivia offered every thirty
seconds to keep him grounded.
She sat across from
Dagon, so it made his attention on her that much easier to keep. The
words from the countless people in the room were just droning on and
on as he took his time to focus on Olivia, his food and drink, than
right back to Olivia.
Besides Olivia
distracting his attention, he had to fight the urge to rip his
tightly bound suit he was in. He felt so restrictive in the
clothing. He couldn't even move his arms all the way up, and the
“tie” felt like a noose around his neck. A feeling that he was
sadly very familiar with from a past experience. Any reserve of
consciousness was solely directed to recalling the training Nancy
taught him a few years ago with how to eat with nobility. There were
so many forks and knives around him, he felt like he had enough to
use as weapons against a mob of people, or on all the people in the
room. A utensil per snobby sounding upper class nobles.
“What of you
Olivia, my dear,” Someone called from a little further down the
table. “How do you feel about the new measures being taken in
Brax.”
Dagon watched as
Olivia elegantly started to reply to the question. Dagon had no idea
what the heck they were talking about the town Brax for. It was a
place very far north. Somewhere he never ventured, cause of how far
away it was. However Olivia seemed to have an answer for the noble’s
question. “As tragic as the Luther’s town attack was several
years ago, I don’t think directly antagonizing the Giantess around
city is the answer. I fear it may just cause a situation that might
be worse. Trying to prevent something, sometimes leads to
stimulating the very thing that was trying to be stopped. I have
little to no knowledge of Brax Town’s history, but if the rumors
are true… it sounds like a very dangerous gamble they are taking.
One that could not just affect themselves, but all of the remaining
Towns…”
Olivia’s words seemed to dampen the mood in
the room. Until her father stepped in, “But unlike the other
cities… Hagger’s Town is prepared for anything. Just like we
have been for hundreds, if not thousands of years beforehand, and
many more later.” These words seemed to please or at least calm
the room down from the dire tone Olivia set.
Dagon caught
Olivia’s eyes once again for the hundredth time tonight. It was
clear why she wanted Dagon there to help comfort herself, as much as
she did for him. As much as Dagon was gazing upon Olivia’s eyes,
the same question was purposed to him. The voice cutting out toward
him distracting him for a moment as Dagon realized they were talking
ot him. “What do you think of the situation in Brax…. Uh…”
the man had clearly not recalled his name.
Dagon pondered to
wait for as long as it took till he used his name but there was a
slight warning look on Olivia’s face. One that said, “please…
not tonight.” So Dagon took a sip of his drink and turned to the
one purposing the question.
“I’ve never been
to Brax, I don’t know too much of the situation, and wouldn’t
presume to know if what’s going on is right or wrong. However,”
Dagon went on, “However in my profession-”
“Which is,”
Someone cut Dagon off. Dagon cut back a remark about shutting up
till he was done, but Olivia again kept him more docile in the room.
“Security
advisor.” Dagon mentioned. “I’ve seen enough to know not to
underestimate a Giantess.” Just to see some of the nobles squirm a
little at those words added to Dagon’s mood. “I mean look at
Haven and Luther’s town, I just hope that Brax isn’t doing the
same thing…”
As please as Dagon
was to watch some of the upper class member mummer at the news of the
two famous cities fallen by Giantess, it was clear that Dagon had
killed the atmosphere at the dinner. He did get a stern look from
Olivia’s father, but the one from Olivia that he wasn’t
expecting. It was clear he messed up hard.
Dagon did his best
not to say it too loud as he took a sip form his cup “Damn...”
As close as he was
with Olivia, her father forbid him sleeping in the castle
unsupervised. There was no doubt in Dagon’s mind that the king
knew that he and Olivia were sexually active, but this was just
another card the old man could play. Until they were married, they
couldn’t sleep under the same roof (granted that didn’t stop them
most nights, or even spending them outside of the town). However
Dagon wasn’t feeling like tempting the king by doing so anyway. So
instead he headed out of the castle, roaming the streets till he came
across Nancy in the night. She was returning from what he could only
assume was a nice night with his sister.
As they passed by,
Dagon did his best not to think too hard about what they did
together, since he had witnessed one event many years ago. However
he gave a curtsy nodded to Nancy who returned it. Dagon couldn’t
help but catch a smell wafting off the maid’s body, one that smell
familiar of womanhood and musk. Well it was clear she and Cindy had
a nice evening together. A very very nice one indeed by how tired
she looked.
Passing a few
buildings and homes, Dagon found Peter’s place and knocked on the
door. The ever cheerful plump man opened the door. Regardless of
the time, he looked pleased.
“DAGON!” he
nearly roared pulling him into the home. “It’s good to see you!”
Than Peter recalled the time and gave him a puzzled look, “What
brings you here?”
“Uh…” Dagon
muttered unease about asking it, “Kind of late… needed a place to
stay till morning.”
Peter let out a deep
chuckle as the older man grinned, “King still not letting you stay
in his home?”
“What a shocker,”
Dagon groaned at the obvious answer to the question.
Peter let out
another chuckle, “Well, there’s always room for you here. Least
I can do for someone who’s helped me out so much. Both you and
your sister.”
“Thanks,” Dagon
remarked as he was led to the small room saved for guest to sleep.
Normally he would have avoided coming to Peter’s place, due to the
lumpy bed he offered. However it was better than Dagon didn’t feel
like trying to avoid roaming creatures tonight till he found Cindy.
It also didn’t help that Dagon was still feeling exhausted from
this afternoon’s playtime with his daughter. Ashley always wore
him out, Dagon doubted he could out run a snail if he had to.
Dagon laid on the
stuffy bed as he tried to get some sleep. It was a curse to know
what the nobility slept on, the soft smooth beds. Peter’s spare
bed wasn’t even remotely close to the sensation. As uncomfortable
the bed was, he knew he could sleep better without someone watching
him, which was the only saving grace to this rock like mattress he
laid on.
“Fucking, royal
prick,” Dagon muttered as he tried to go to sleep. Doing his best
not to dream of the soft clouds he could have been sleeping on
instead of this good for nothing bed he shifted around on.
Dagon was out of
Peter’s home before he could wake. Dagon was tired, but he was
used to this, or was used to it. The several years of safety in
Hagger’s town had dulled some of his survival skills. One of them
being up and alert when waking up from his sleep. His journey out of
town was uneventful very groggy, by the time he made it back to Cindy
she was eating breakfast as Dagon finally started to wake.
“Hey bro,” She
said with a hand pushing some food into her mouth. The massive meal
large enough to feed a few people. Before Dagon could say anything
Cindy let out a muffled sound, “Whoa, you don’t look so good.
Couldn’t sleep last night?”
“Fucking bed…”
Dagon grunted as he took a seat nearby his sister who was still
eating. “King’s still a pain in the ass.”
Cindy snorted,
“Still not letting you sleep with Olivia?”
Dagon rolled his
eyes showing how much he wasn’t in the mood for the conversation,
“We really doing this?”
Cindy stuck out her
tongue that still had clumps of rice and other food on it before
slurping it back in. “You brought it up,” Cindy protested.
“Yeah? And how
are things with Nancy? Huh? Last I saw, she was smelling very
strongly of you-”
Dagon wasn’t ready
for it as Cindy’s hand came out of nowhere and swatted at his back
knocking him on his face. “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!” Dagon
shouted getting up.
“What are you
doing smelling Nancy like some deviant!” Cindy argued looking
flustered. It was clear they both knew what went down the other
night. However Cindy seemed more upset at how observant Dagon was
being with her relationship.
Dagon gave Cindy, a
finger jab toward her, “I wasn’t fucking sniffing her!”
Cindy huffed as he
retorted still clearly upset, “Sure as hell sounded like you were.”
“Oh my god,”
Dagon muttered, “You have some serious problems.” Dagon looked
at his still pissed off sister as he went on, “What I was trying to
freaking get to, is how long are you going to wait?”
Cindy paused mid
bite, “Wh-what? Wait for what?” Dagon stared at Cindy still she
was starting to get nervous, “St-stop looking at me like that.
What are you talking about?”
Dagon gave Cindy a
dull look, “Really… we gonna play this game?”
Cindy looked as
confused as she could, “What are you talking about Dagon? Brother
have you lost your mind or something-”
Dagon pulled out one
of his daggers and slung it fifteen feet away from where Cindy was
sitting at a faintly loose pile of dirt. Cindy froze as Dagon cocked
his head, “I wonder what’s under there?”
“…” Cindy
looked like she was caught doing something bad. Like stealing food
from Hagger’s town.
“Oh, no quirky
remarks?” Dagon went on.
“… When? When
did you find out,” Cindy asked sounding beyond shocked.
“I’m your
freaking brother,” Dagon said sounding proud. “It was a few days
after you got them.” Dagon explained. The items in question were
a set diamonds. To be more exact one large chunk of diamond,
possible for a giantess sized person to wear, and a smaller piece of
it broken off for a more regular person. Dagon put two and two
together when he dung them up one night after tripping over the
uneven mound of fresh soil. It was very clear that Cindy had gotten
someone to purchase it or found these diamonds and were hiding them
for a moment. Dagon’s suspecions were for a moment that might
involve purposing a certain question to a certain person she was
seeing. Dagon went on, “So what were you going to do with
those?”
Cindy was a mix of all the shades of red and
pink at the question, “s-s-s-shut up!”
Dagon held up his
hands, “No serriously! Come on, I mean it… Cindy, I really did…”
Cindy mummbled as
she looked at the gorund, “Was gonna… ask Nancy to mar-marriage
me.”
Dagon was confused.
“How? How do you know about marriage?” It was a concept that
was beyond foreign and unheard of by Giantess. It’s a concept that
for all he knew was lost or never existed. So for Cindy to use that
word, one that Dagon hadn’t ever spoke to Cindy about, brought some
worry to him.
Cindy again, looking
more like a child as she tried to not answer but did so, “Peter…
we were talking, cause I talk to other people besides you and Nancy,”
Cindy sassed before she went on. “He told me about his wife…”
Well, this was a
shocker for Dagon. He thought maybe Nancy told Cindy about it or
something. Never did he expect Peter to bring up a talk with his
sister. Which brought up more questions of what else had he told
her? Well that didn’t matter, he now had to know. Dagon went on,
“So , have you asked? Does Nancy know yet?”
Cindy’s gaping
mouth closed and that sadden look came over her, “No. I thought
about it last night…. But like, you know, I just couldn’t. I
mean, hell this is insane, I’m a giantess and she’s a- I’m mean
were both-”
Dagon did a ballsy
move he cut his sister off with a load of sarcasm that could have
killed a bear, “OH REALLY?! I NEVER NOTICED?! WOW!” Dagon’s
arms were spread wide to show off Cindy’s size. Cindy stopped her
pity talk about how weird the relationship was. “Cindy you
freaking been with Nancy for what three maybe four years? As your
brother I have to tell you to stop freaking worrying. If she didn’t
run off screaming the first week you guys were together chances are
that wont happen after four years. Nancy loves you, and I can tell
that you love her as much if not more back. So stop holding back and
just tell her. What’s the worse she says?” Dagon asked
hypothetically. Put on a very cheap and poor imitation of Nancy’s
voice, “Oh Cindy that’s too big of a diamond for me… we both
need to see someone else right away?” Dagon scoffed, “Yeah like
that would totally happen, just go for it alright?”
Cindy
was at a loss of words. Her brother tore into her worse fears, and
just mocked them in front of her. As much as she wanted to give him
a kick so hard he went flying back into town, she couldn’t. He did
have a point. Why was she hesitant to bring this up with Nancy?
They were so close. In fact the other day she told Cindy about a
dream where they all lived in a big meadow together with their kids.
Of course it was impossible for them to have kids together, but the
dream made Cindy feel like she ate a gallon of butterflies. The
fluttering in her stomach made Cindy nearly burst there and ask Nancy
to marriage her.
“I… I’m still
waiting for the right moment,” Cindy lied as she didn’t know when
that moment would be.
Dagon rolled his
eyes and was about to say something when the sound of a giantess
approaching was heard. Dagon didn’t have to look twice as he
already knew who it was, Melody. Dagon turned to see Melody holding
Ashley, who was busy observing the forest and asking questions.
Melody was answering the best she could to the rapid fire “what’s
that,” questions as he child pointed to anything she could.
It wasn't’ till
she spotted Dagon that she squealed and came running toward him.
Dagon had a sudden urge to run away. But, he stood his ground as
Ashley came running for him, like a stampeding animal.
“Not the face, not
the face, not the face,” Dagon muttered under his breath, as Ashley
came giggling toward him. With an effort that was scarily easy, she
scooped Dagon up like a rag doll once again.
“DADDY!” She
nearly screamed as she planted a childish kiss on his forehead.
“Ugggh,” Dagon
groaned from the daughterly love he was receiving. As much as he
loved her, he really did, he never liked this kind of greeting.
However he returned the greeting, “Morning, beansprout...”
“Let’s play!”
Ashley shouted excited and happy.
Dagon wasn’t ready
to play some more hide and seek with Ashley just yet. Instead, he
purposed a counter argument, “Did you have breakfast?” Dagon
asked in a fatherly tone.
Ashley still held
Dagon as she shook her head and Dagon along with herself, “No.”
Melody spoke as she
arrived behind Ashley, “We were going to practice hunting for
real.”
“Well,” Dagon
told them, “We have plenty of food… um, sweetie, down please?”
Ashley gave Dagon
one more tight hug that felt a little too strong before he was set
down on the ground. It was just a quick reminder of how strong she
was getting. Soon Dagon might have to worry about her picking him up
too harshly, if she wasn’t too careful he could get hurt. Dagon
tossed the idea out of his head as he didn’t want to think about
that right now.
Stretching to pull
any muscles and joints that were sore from the embrace, Dagon quickly
pointed to the large amount of food Cindy had prepared, “Well, you
can always have something to eat before a hunt right?”
Melody seemed a
little displeased by this. As custom, you eat what you catch. It
was a tradition that most of them learned at a young age, that it was
your own strength and effort that produced your food. It was a way
for giantess to learn to rely on oneself and not others. A giantess
didn’t always have others for help. However Ashley was already
being severed by Dagon.
“Here you go,”
Dagon cheerfully offered some of the left over food Cindy had cooked
this morning.
Melody was about to
object her opinion on how Dagon was treating their daughter but it
was too late, as Ashley was already digging in. “I guess we can
always try another day,” Melody muttered to herself as she
proceeded to sit down with everyone else. Ashley was beginning to
repeat the terms of some of the stuff that Melody taught her along
the way. All of which Dagon knew clearly, but being the kind father,
kept up the surprised acted for the young one. Melody wondered,
could her own father have been like Dagon? Was this something all
fathers were like?
As Dagon entertained
Ashley, Melody had a chance to talk with Cindy. Usually the
conversations weren’t very engaging, Melody always felt weird about
talking to Dagon’s sister. Especially when it came to Giantess
things. She was an odd one, and although Melody was turning over a
new leaf with some of her ways, it wasn’t as simple as she thought
it would be. Just the other night she had a craving for a certain
type of food she swore not to eat anymore….
“How are things,”
Melody asked probing out at Cindy.
Cindy paused mid bit
before swallowing, “Good… uh, fine I guess. What uh, what about
you?”
Melody shrugged,
“Fine too.”
The weird pause as
Dagon and Ashley continued to bond while the two larger woman
couldn’t do more than watch. “So, you’re leaving soon,”
Cindy asked. “Almost the end of the month.”
Melody nodded, “I’m
thinking tomorrow or the next day. Was going to take Ashley north…
I might still have some family up there. I should introduce the
newest member of the family.”
“Family,” Dagon
asked at a topic they never talked about. “I didn’t know you had
family up there.”
Melody nodded,
“Yeah. We try to meet every couple of years, and it’s been a
while. Normally when there's a gathering up north, we run into each
other. Usually my mom or one of my little sisters. I figured Ashley
should get to meet my side of the family. I know my mother would be
delighted to meet this little cutie,” Melody said scooping up the
unprepared Ashley who giggled at the cuddling Melody was giving her.
Dagon did his best
not to envy Ashley. His own thoughts drifting to his mom and how she
treated him. Not something he stayed too much time on. Instead he
was just happy to be able to share moments with his large daughter.
It was rare for a giantess to have a father present, especially one
that wasn’t being held captive.
Melody continued to
hold Ashley in her hands. The child giggling as Melody gave her a
tickle, and kept her entertained. It didn’t take too long before
Olivia came by. She was walking through the forest with Nancy in
tow.
Dagon smiled as
Olivia came up to him and gave him a kiss. “You didn’t stay the
night?”
Dagon just gave a
weak shrug, “I wanted to talk with Peter.” Dagon didn’t
explain more, and Olivia didn’t press it. Dagon had a feeling if
he complained about her father, it might just lead into worse
problems between him and her dad.
Olivia wore a strong
smile on her face as she held Dagon’s hand, “Thanks… for
dealing with last night. I know it was hard with all of them there.
That meant a lot to my father and I.”
“Yeah well… the
food was good,” Dagon replied. He tried to play around the food as
the reason he went but Olivia gave him a simple scoff and rolled her
eyes not believing such a silly lie.
“Of course, just
using me to get to my chiefs… should have known.”
Dagon grinned, “Hey
I thought you know that from the begin. Why else do you think I’ve
been hanging around.”
“Oh… well if
that’s the case, I guess I should learn to cook to keep you around
longer,” Olivia commented.
Dagon was at a lose
of words. “That … would… be good,” Dagon spoke like a child
who didn’t know how to come up with a good come back. He was
bewildered at Olivia words, that he almost didn’t notice Nancy
presenting herself to Cindy.
“My God-”
“SHHH!” Cindy
hissed as she blushed. Dagon never seen Cindy move so quickly to
keep someone quite. “I told you,” Cindy spoke through her teeth,
“When were alone!”
Nancy never broke as
she knew how to manipulate Cindy’s embarrassment to her needs.
“But this is how I always greet-”
Dagon watched as
Cindy quickly scooped up Nancy and brought her way up toward her face
where they were having a “private” conversation. Apparently
Nancy had forced Cindy to silence her. After a few brief moments
Cindy slowly lowered Nancy back to the ground. Dagon, as a victim to
the smooching of giantess, he could tell that Nancy was covered in
such a familiar act. Soft and faint traces of oval wet marks
covering not just Nancy’s face but part of her clothing. A faint
smile of happiness danced on the maid’s face as she stood there,
not saying a word.
“Well played,”
Dagon whispered smirking at his sister’s way of silencing her
girlfriend.
Ashley was the first
to speak “Hide and seek!”
Dagon flinched at
the upcoming game. Not wanting to have to endure another game of
“Find daddy and squeeze the life out of him” Dagon gave a weak
smile, “Aren’t you bored of that game?”
Ashley answered
quicker than Dagon was expecting, “NOPE!”
A very tiring and
long game of hide and seek left Dagon physically exhausted. His body
felt like it was pushed through a strainer as his daughter was
starting to hug much harder now. Soon she would bee too old for this
game, that or Dagon would break a bone or two. Still, if it meant
bonding with her… what’s an arm or a leg for a happy daughter,
right?
Dagon let out an
exhausted sigh as he sat down near Olivia who offered her lap to rest
his head on. “She’s so much like her father,” Olivia
commented. “Strong…”
Dagon let out a
snort… “All Giantess are.”
“Determined,”
Olivia remarked still going on.
“Determined to
snap me in half…” Dagon grunted.
“Let’s not
mention how much she takes after her dad,” Olivia spoke rubbing a
sore shoulder. “Anyone can clearly see she’s your daughter. She
resembles you so much. Those cheeks… that adorable smile, and
let’s not forget how much quick she is at picking up new things,”
Olivia praised Ashley who was busy playing with her mom.
“Sure, sure….”
Dagon mumbled. “She’s like her father in every way, except the
eyes,” Dagon remarked halfheartedly. He was more interested in
laying in Olivia’s lap, like a pillow he wished he had last night.
Olivia paused,
“Except her eyes?”
Dagon sighed and
rolled his head on his shoulders getting a few crinks out with some
pops. “yeah… Giantess, they pass their eyes onto their kids.”
Olivia frowned at
those words as she didn’t know what Dagon was saying. “What do
you mean?”
Dagon shifted his
head to look at Olivia from her lap. “Look…. You see my eyes?
Now, look at Cindy’s….”
Olivia did as he asked, and
blinked a few times…. They were identical. Not like close… but
like every dark blue and light patch that was mixed into their iris
were spot for spot. Almost like a duplicated painting.
“Now look at
Ashley’s and Melody’s,” Dagon went on.
Olivia did. Ashley
shared no resemblance in her eyes with Dagon. Dagon and Cindy had
blue and sparkling sky like eyes. Melody and Ashley had dark muddy
brown eyes, some splotches of lighter or darker around the edges.
Kind of like the bark of a tree. As Olivia noticed Dagon spoke as he
closed his eyes and rested them.
“It’s a genetic
thing… or that’s what I was told from my mother,” The word
“mother” was harsh on his tongue. “It’s how generations
could tell each other apart. The color of one’s eyes told of their
heritage. The myth behind it was so you wouldn’t sleep with a
brother or father, you know when one captured a male… but I think
that’s all just a load of crap. Anyway, Giantess pass their eyes
down to their children no matter what, so that’s why Ashley’s
eyes look like Melody’s, it’s the family trait.”
“So, your mom had
blue eyes,” Olivia asked out loud.
Dagon sighed as he
thought over it, “… I guess? Look, I didn’t like my mom. I
hated her. She wasn’t a mom to me. To be honest, I never looked
deeply enough in her eyes to compare them. If she never told me that
fact for whatever reason, I wouldn’t have even considered it. As
long as I’m concerned I never had a mom.”
Olivia could feel it
was a tough subject to talk about and decided to stay away from the
new information she learned. Instead she decided to change it into
something more friendly for Dagon. “So my father has another
dinner coming up next week, I was hoping you wouldn’t mind being…
Nice, you know again….”
Dagon closed his
eyes at the words and groaned mentally. “Another dinner? Did we
not just have on last night?”
Olivia rolled her
eyes and laughed, “We did… if you didn’t know, we have them
regularly.” Olivia mentioned “So yes, another dinner. You
don’t have to-”
Dagon let out a painful sigh, “NO…
no I’ll go. At least the food helped. Just wish we could talk
about something other than politics and junk,” Dagon waved his
hands around, “stuff… like seriously, maybe like how to skin a-”
Olivia laughed as
she soothed Dagon some more, “I can’t promise the political part…
kind of the point of the dinner, but I can promise good food. So is
that a yes?”
Dagon groaned and
slowly nodded, “yeah… yeah I’ll go.” Olivia smiled at the
response.
The rest of the
afternoon was tame, mostly just talk, a little meal for everyone.
Finally it was coming closer to the evening. Nancy was going to stay
with Cindy for the night, Dagon was going to take Olivia back, and
Melody was going to leave in the morning for the long trip to the
north. Dagon figured he would see her off.
“It’s just a
week,” Melody told him. “I’ve been gone longer.”
“Yeah well… a
week or longer, I still want to wish you luck.” Dagon offered.
Melody let out a
soft chuckle, “I’m a giantess! Are you worried about me?”
Dagon sighed, “More
for Ashley than you, but yes… just stay safe. I’ve heard some
stuff is going on up north, just stay out of trouble.”
Ashley was tuckered
out, but Melody still got down lower toward Dagon’s level to speak,
“Ahhh, my sweet Dagon is concerned. Don’t worry, there isn’t
anything that will keep us apart. Just like before, I’ll find my
way back to you.”
Dagon felt some
comfort in her words, but also felt a bit concerned that they might
have been a bit too personal. After all Dagon was with someone else,
and for Melody to clam she would be back for him, made it sound like
they were destine for each other. Something that Dagon wasn’t sure
of. However, Dagon didn’t need to bring this up.
“Just keep Ashley
safe, but I’m sure I didn’t need to say that right?”
Melody laughed,
“We’ll be fine, stop being so worried. We’re giantess after
all.”
Dagon didn’t say
it but he didn’t like Melody's mentality of being a giantess was
safety enough.
“I’ll see you in
a week,” Daogn told Melody.
“In a week, my
lovely Dagon,” Melody told him as she gave him a smooch that
rivaled Ashley’s…. what was with Giantess and kissing???
Dagon sat on a stump
trying to hear a faint sound of a giantess approaching, but there was
none. It had been well past a week, in fact almost three weeks, and
Melody hadn’t returned. Dagon sat there, contemplating what might
have delayed her for so long. Yet like before, the days have passed
and there was no Melody or Ashley. They hadn’t come back from the
visit north. Something that concerned Dagon greatly.
“Dagon,” Cindy
called out as she noticed her brother still waiting and watching the
horizon for something. “Are you okay?”
Dagon took a deep
breath as he sat there. Not a single tremor besides his sister
indicated the return of Melody. Dagon felt a feeling building up in
him. “Something's not right,” Dagon spoke softly.
“What was that,”
Cindy asked not catching it.
Dagon stood up from
the stump, “Somethings happened.”
Cindy looked
startled, “What?”
Dagon jumped down
from the large tree stump, “I’m leaving-”
“The
fuck you are,” Cindy protested.
Dagon jerked his
head toward Cindy at her objection, “What?! Are you-”
“I’m coming!”
Cindy blurted out so fast Dagon nearly stumbled on his word.
“… uh… well,”
Dagon shrugged after a few moments of confusing. “Okay, not going
to lie, thought you were coming anyway.”
Cindy jerked back,
“You what?! Oh I see cause I’m your sister I would follow you to
the ends of the Earth? Whoa, thanks so much bro, that’s so
reassuring that I’m a freaking glorified pack mule!”
Dagon shook his
head, “Well I mean if you don’t want to help your niece…”
“HEY! Oooooo”
Cindy barked narrowing her eyes at her tricky brother, “That’s a
fucking low blow. Gonna use your daughter against me like that!”
Dagon just shrugged,
“Like you said, I need a pack mule…”
Cindy gave Dagon the
dirtiest of looks. Yeah, he was so going to regret saying that.
But to be honest,
Dagon wouldn’t trust anyone more than Cindy to watch his back.
Especially when it came to something like this. As Dagon packed up
his stuff and Cindy pulled the larger gear of their camp apart, he
spoke to her. “Thanks… I mean it.” The seriousness in his
voice told Cindy how much this meant. Cindy just nodded.
“For family right?
You said it not me, I’d do anything for my niece. Now shut up and
pack your shit up.” Cindy ordered.
Dagon smirked at the
order. “You know I love you right?”
Cindy gave a sharp
laugh escape her lips. Cindy made sure to be enough sarcasm in her
voice, “Like a fucking blister on my foot. Thanks for ruining my
life. Now if you’re finished trying to get on my good side,”
Cindy retorted, “Hurry the heck up! You tiny people and your
little hands… ”
Dagon scoffed as he grabbed the last
of his “shit”, “Yeah yeah, what about you big hands! You got
everything? You got your…. Stones?”
Cindy paused as she
looked at the ground and paused.
“I… well,”
Cindy starred for a moment but shook her head, “They’re safe.
Nothing to worry about, UNLIKE YOU!” Cindy barked. “Come on you
bum, the sooner we leave the quicker we can find Ashley and Melody
and the sooner I can flick you for being a freaking worry wart over
them.” Cindy retorted.
Dagon wanted to
believe that but, well he had that feeling. Cindy probably did too,
but luckily she was trying to ease his mind so he didn’t freaking
panic. Beside Melody was a giantess, there shouldn’t be much that
could harm her, right?
End Notes:
Let me know what you think, still not 100% if this needed a sequel but I do have a few ideas of where it goes and hopefully some ideas help solidify the path it's gonna take. If you find any mistakes please let me know, thanks.
“I
still think we should have said goodbye,” Cindy complained as she
walked through the heavily forested area dipping past the tree
branches.
“And
then what? Have Olivia and Nancy try to join us?” Dagon retorted at
the idea. Nothing like having the people you care about making things
more complicated than it needed to be. Dagon shook his head and
sarcastically went on. “Yeah totally, let’s have the princess
follow us into Giantess territory looking for GIANTESS. I’m soooo
sure her dad would thank me for dragging his daughter with us. What
could possibly go wrong,” Dagon put enough sass in that last part
he felt like he might have just jinxed themselves.
Cindy
huffed, “Well, when you put it like that fine, but I still feel bad
not telling them-”
Dagon
grumbled at his sister’s nagging and finally said, “Oh please,
I’m not that dumb. I left a note.”
Cindy
nearly stumbled at her brother's words, nearly getting caught up in a
random root from the shock. “You what- when?”
“Well,”
Dagon mulled over his answer for a brief moment, “I might have…
kind of… been planning on leaving sooner than you thought.”
Cindy
stopped in the dense forest as she turned to her brother sitting on
her shoulder, “Excuse me…” She sounded upset and confused,
“What do you mean, you were going to leave sooner than I thought?”
Dagon
tried to do some recovery before the conversation got ugly. If Cindy
looked any harder at Dagon he swore he would have combusted from the
glare of heated look she bore at him. “Look, I got worried after
the first week…. I was kind of planning on leaving like, I don’t
know,” Dagon tried to draw out his answer but it only made Cindy
madder. “Like, last week?”
Cindy
looked stunned, “You were going to leave last week?!”
Dagon
held up his hands, “Well I mean I didn’t! I was thinking about
it, that’s all. It was just a thought that’s all.”
Cindy
narrowed her eyes at her brother as she continued to glare at the
idiot of a brother. “And you weren’t going to tell me when you
left, were you?”
“Uh…
ummm, no?” Dagon said feeling kind of guilty at the question and
his lame response.
“Are
you serious?!” Cindy complained as she continued to walk. “You
were just going to leave me to try and look for-”
Dagon
couldn’t help but argue with his sister, “I said I was thinking
about it! I didn’t do it, it just crossed my mind.”
Cindy
rolled her shoulders, causing Dagon to nearly fall off. He had
to quickly steady himself at her reaction, “Oh yeah, you were just
thinking about it. Nothing like waking up and finding your brother
gone cause he didn’t think I needed to know.”
Dagon
shook his head, “I was gonna say something.”
Cindy
shook her head as she dodged a low hanging branch, “Sure you were.”
It looked like Cindy wasn’t as certain of his confession. “Just
like how you told Olivia?”
“Okay,
look,” Dagon quickly cut her off, “She’s already been through
enough out here.” Dagon gestured to the woods. “You think she
needed to come with us to help find Melody and Ashley?” Dagon
paused as Cindy didn’t speak, “Let’s be honest,” Dagon spoke
sounding harsher than he should have been, “What would Olivia, or
hell even Nancy, even help with? Huh? Do they know how to travel out
here in the wild? Do they know what food is poisonous? Do you think
they know how to avoid Giantess in Giantess territory? Can they
hunt?” What good was it to bring those two with them? Dagon knew he
was right. Yet Cindy still seemed uncertain.
“It
just feels weird, or I don’t know, wrong not talking to them about
it…” Cindy suggested sounding guilty.
Dagon
took a deep breath to help calm his voice, “Look, it’s like a few
days to Brax town. It’ll take a day or so to get information and
find any trace of Giantess up there. A few days to find them, and
then it’s only a few days back. It’ll be like a week at most,
we’ll be back before they even miss us.” Dagon offered. “I said
we’re going to be gone for a little while. There’s nothing that
would give them a reason to worry. Besides I told Peter about it, and
to make sure to keep them calm, reassuring them and stuff.” Dagon
explained, sounding relaxed. “We’re fine. Just stop worrying.”
Cindy
wanted to, she really did. However, if there was anyone she knew
better than her brother, it would be Nancy. Cindy had a sinking
feeling that Nancy would see through the bullshit that Dagon might
have said in the letter, to read past the words and understand that
they left Hagger’s town to go somewhere dangerous and possibly life
threatening. However, as worried as Cindy was, she tried to trust her
brother and the letter he left for Olivia. He hoped it calmed them
both and they would stay safe in town. Because if there was one thing
that Cindy agreed with Dagon, is that Nancy didn’t need to be out
here and put at risk. It was bad enough Cindy had to watch after her
dummy of a brother, looking after one person was easier than three.
Olivia
glared at the letter as she read it the fourth time wanting to
strangle Dagon yet again. One of her maids had woken her up with a
letter. She was excited to see Dagon’s note, that was till she had
read it. It was preposterous of a notion for Dagon and Cindy to leave
and head off to Brax. The letter itself told her not to worry, but
that was silly as she clearly was worried for him and Cindy. The
north was in a completely different situation than around here, and
for them to try and look for Melody and Ashely was ridiculous without
some extra help.
“Nancy,”
Olivia called out, waiting for her most trusted maid to come into her
room. “Do you know anything about this?” Olivia asked as she
handed the letter to her, still looking upset at Dagon’s idiocy.
Nancy
read over the letter twice before she shook her head. Knowing Nancy
for a long time, it was rare to see her as shocked as she was now. It
was clear she was in the dark as well. “No, my princess. I was
unaware about any of this.”
“Why
didn’t he say anything,” Olivia muttered, not feeling content
with the letter. Olivia was still sitting in bed, “I mean,”
Olivia protested, “I could have sent some guards to escort him
there!”
Nancy
shifted already looking a little off. She spoke softly, “But then
how would Cindy travel with Dagon? You may not like it, but Cindy is
most likely the best protection for Dagon.”
Olivia’s
mouth opened but found the flaw in her plan as it slowly shut, “I…
you’re right. Guards would only hinder him,” Olivia spoke as she
got out of bed and slowly walked around. Still in her pajamas Olivia
tried to think of what she could do. Her boyfriend… oh that did
sound weird. Even after so long together they hardly used the
title boyfriend or girlfriend. So using that word felt
embarrassing.
Olivia
shook her head as she focused, HER BOYFRIEND, needed her help. Even
with his sister, there was no guarantee that they would make it to
Brax safely by themselves. If Olivia was there she could have helped
somehow, she just knew it. Yet, he was already gone and without
warning her in the least bit of time.
“I…
I think we should follow,” Olivia suggested. For a moment Nancy
looked confused. It was her job to protect her, but she also had hard
feelings for a certain large woman that was clouding her judgment.
Before Nancy could speak, Olivia went on, “They could get into
trouble. What would happen if they needed help? If we follow them, we
can easily help them out of whatever problem they run into, right?
This wouldn’t be my first time out of these walls, I know a thing
or two,” Olivia spoke, sounding confident in herself.
“I
don’t know princess… That seems dangerous,” Nancy spoke trying
to get her words of worry out of her mouth. Nancy totally agreed with
the princes right now. She definitely wanted to follow Cindy and help
in anyway she could, just like Olivia wanted to. However, there was
the fact that she would be putting Olivia, the princess, in danger by
leaving the walls of the city and into the wild. As much as Nancy
wanted to, she couldn’t agree with the princess. Her job came above
all else, and that meant keeping Olivia safe and inside the city.
Olivia
sighed as she tossed the note to the side of the bed as she went to
sit down on her bed. “Dagon left me with a single note just out of
nowhere. How am I supposed to feel about that?” Olivia asked
as she fumbled through the letter once again. She couldn’t help but
feel agitated, “He can’t just think of sending a letter to tell
me not to worry and run off with Cindy and be expected to stay calm!”
Nancy
remained calm, but deep down she couldn’t help but feel the same,
“Princess, maybe we should act rationally. Cindy is very capable of
keeping her brother safe,” Nancy spoke recalling how protective and
exceptional Cindy was. Something that tickled Nancy on a deeper
level, something she never spoke to Olivia about.
Olivia
wanted to believe that, but her journey to Luther’s Town reminded
her of how dangerous it was out there. “So you don’t think we
should do anything,” Olivia asked, sounding worried and powerless,
something she hated to feel.
Nancy
was quiet for a moment before responding, “I think Dagon and Cindy
are very capable people. I don’t think there is anyone I trust
more. I know it might be painful to stay calm and wait, but I think
it’s for the best.”
“Fine,”
Olivia sighed. It sounded like she was slowly accepting it
now. “It’s just a week. They’ll be back before father
even starts to miss Dagon.”
Nancy
didn’t speak, but she found the king missing Dagon to be a very
impossible event. Still, Nancy just nodded and started to do her
maidly duties. Helping Olivia change out of her pajamas and into her
daily clothes. Making the bed and cleaning up, preparing the bed for
Olivia to sleep in tonight, and whatever other chores she had left,
anything that she could think of just to take her mind off Cindy.
Dagon
was looking around the barren landscape. It had a lot less trees,
ones that had already lost most of their green for the upcoming
winter. There were still plenty of rocks and thick tree trunks for
Cindy to use to hide behind if need be, but Dagon could already feel
the chill in the air. It was amazing how much different this part of
the land was to Hagger’s town.
“Jeez,
I should have brought a coat,” Dagon muttered, shivering slightly.
“Oh
poor you,” Cindy muttered. “At least a coat would fit you. What
about me?”
Dagon
rubbed his hands together and blew into them, something the two of
them had been doing every so often to warm up. “It’s just a
few days. Besides the worst case scenario, we have to skin something
for the two of us.”
Cindy
scoffed, “Oh yeah? Let’s just go and find thirty or so wolves and
just make a giant pelt out of them, I’m sure it would warm my legs
at night…”
Dagon
didn’t comment but he could tell that his sister had a point.
Harvesting enough fur to make something for her would take a lot of
time. Heck it never really dropped too cold around Hagger’s town,
so they never bother making much clothing besides the small little
loincloth and makeshift bra that covered Cindy’s private parts.
“Melody
said she was coming up here for family, right? I don’t know how
they stand it. I guess if there are Giantess around, maybe you could
trade something for a giantess size blanket or clothing”
“Trade
them with what,” Cindy asked, arching an eyebrow. Before Dagon
could answer Cindy smirked, “I guess I could trade you. At least
then you would be helping your sister out, by keeping me warm.”
Dagon
gasped at her, “You wouldn’t.”
“I
don’t know brother, let’s see how cold it gets tonight,” Cindy
gave Dagon a playful grin.
Dagon
shook his head at her words, “Well sounds like I better find a way
to keep you warm so I’m not sold off for some stupid shirt.”
Dagon
spotted a nice little grove etched into the side of one of the rocky
mountians nearby. Well it wasn’t little to Dagon, it looked to be
large enough for Cindy to crawl up against and lay down in. Dagon
would have considered it a cave, but it wasn’t deep enough for
shelter, and Cindy almost didn’t fit all the way inside. It would
at least give Cindy protection against the winds coming in from three
different directions. Hopefully it won't get too windy or cold
tonight.
“God
I already hate it up here,” Cindy muttered, shivering a little as
she proceeded to sit down on the cold ground.
“Yeah
no shit,” Dagon grumbled with just as much enthusiasm. “Why the
hell would Melody want to travel up here anyway? You think
their family thing would be somewhere less cold!”
Cindy
shrugged, “I don’t know, but this is the last time I’m coming
up here to find her. Sorry brother, love you and everything, but this
sucks. Next time you can do it all on your own.”
“Let’s
start a fire before the sun goes down. I’ll have to find some sort
of food, hopefully there’s something to eat around here.” Dagon
headed off a little ways, climbing chunks of ground and rocks.
The bumpy surface of the region was annoying, but it did come with
perks of hiding Cindy’s size. Dagon had to double check every once
in a while to make sure a group of rocks were actually rocks and not
a giantess hiding behind something.
Cindy
gathered the larger branches of the plenty of dried trees for a
decent fire tonight, while Dagon hunted for some sort of food. He
found a few small game, rabbits and a squirrel, but nothing decent
for Cindy. Dagon was chasing after another small creature, when it
quickly ducked into an entrance of a cave that was slightly taller
and wider than Dagon. Listening to the sound of the animal scurrying
around in the dark, Dagon slowly entered the dark cavern.
Dagon
stood in the dimly lit cave, listening and letting his eyes slowly
adjust to the little lighting provided. Drops of water could be heard
collecting in some kind of puddle or water source echoing a little
deeper in the dark. Dagon waited a few minutes, and his eyes were
just able to make out shapes in the dark, enough to know where to
step and not trip, but not enough to see all of the cave. Dagon moved
a little deeper into the rocky hole, looking for the rabbit that
jumped inside for protection. It was just too dark for Dagon to make
out the creature and he was starting to think it wasn’t worth
spending all his time trying to hunt a little meal like that in this
cave. He was on the verge of leaving when he heard something. It was
breathing. A heavy but controlled breath. It sounded like something
was asleep. Dagon was just deep enough in the cave that the light
from the entrance gave barely enough sight for Dagon to make out the
large boulder moving.
No,
not a boulder, it was a cave bear. The size of the thing was easily
three times Dagon’s weight. The thing was big, and looked to be
hibernating or at least in a deep sleep, that was for sure.
“Oh
shit,” Dagon whispered, seeing the slumbering mountain of fur. This
was a nice find, especially with it being so defenseless in here
sleeping. Dagon slowly pulled out his blades as quietly as possible
and started to approach the bear. If he was fast enough and just a
pinch of luck, he could strike the bear before it woke up or even
tried to attack him. Dagon could hear and smell the gnarly breath
from the beast as it continued to sleep. Making out the head of the
bear, Dagon was about to go for the neck when another sound came from
behind. It was more breathing. Tucked in a corner of the cave, was
yet another bear in the dark. If the bear Dagon was about to kill was
big, then this one was massive. It was easily large enough to kill
Dagon with one paw swipe. Not even tempted to say the words “Oh
shit” again, as it could possibly wake any of the beasts, Dagon was
at a loss. One bear he could take, two? Now that was just asking for
it. Any noise, like the sounds of a dying bear, would wake the other
and Dagon wasn’t sure he could take either of them if they were
awake.
However
this was too good of a situation to pass up, praying that his luck
held out, Dagon quietly snuck out of the cave and hurried to find his
sister.
Cindy
didn’t seem too happy about Dagon’s news. “I don’t know, I
feel kind of bad about it,” Cindy sadly remarked. “I mean it’s
one thing if they are awake and you cornered them but… while
they're sleeping? That just doesn’t feel right to me. Almost
cruel.”
Dagon
understood how his sister felt however, “I know, I know. And I
wouldn’t have asked you to do this if we weren’t talking about
enough food to make it to Brax’s Town. I’m telling you, I’ll
have enough fur to make a shawl to cover your shoulders.”
“That
doesn’t seem like a lot,” Cindy commented as she thought about it
while heading toward the cave Dagon mentioned.
Dagon
felt like trying to lighten the mood a little by joking around,
“Well, it’s more for me. Cause your shoulders are so damn
chilly-”
“Oh
I see, so you were just thinking of yourself again,” Cindy
retourted. “You just want to make your ride to Brax just a little
more warm and cozy, huh?” The bitter tone in Cindy’s voice was a
little harsh but Dagon knew she was just playing back as she poked at
Dagon with her finger.
Dagon
laughed as he pushed the digit away, “I told you it’s cold!
Anyway, it’s right over there.” Dagon pointed to the opening to
the cave he discovered not too long ago. Cindy set Dagon down by the
outside of the cavern as she tried to peer inside the dark cave.
“I
can’t see anything,” Cindy whispered, trying her best not to wake
whatever was up in there.
“Trust
me, they’re there,” Dagon told Cindy.
Slowly
Cindy nodded and laid down as she tried to get as level with the
opening. Cindy slowly started to insert her hand. Dagon watched her
wrist pass the opening and creep into the darkness. Suddenly she
jerked her hand back out, “Wait,” She whispered shooting Dagon a
weary look, “This isn’t like that one time, where you pranked me
to grab something I DID NOT want to touch…”
Dagon
chuckled at the memory of tricking Cindy. “Okay to be fair,”
Dagon said not too loudly, “That was pretty funny.”
“It
was not,” Cindy hissed at Dagon.
“Fine,
fine, but no. I’m not tricking you,” Dagon told her as honest as
he could be with his sister.
Cindy
was hesitant again, her eyes narrowing at him, before she slowly put
her hand into the cave. Dagon watched and listened as Cindy stuck her
arm in. Soon Cindy had her arm elbow deep in the cave, “I don’t
feel anything but rocks…”
“A
little deeper,” Dagon told her.
“I
swear to God Dagon… If you are pranking me right now,” Cindy
warned, rolling her eyes as she moved closer to the cave and shoved
more of her arm in. Soon Cindy had her arm up to her shoulder
searching around the cavern. Dagon almost was worried that she
couldn’t reach the sleeping bears, but the sudden look of shock on
Cindy’s face and her reaction told Dagon she found one.
“OH
shit, that is big,” Cindy said, yanking her hand out of the cave
holding one of the bears. The big beast was freaking out at the sight
of Cindy and the sudden awakening of its sleep. Cindy made quick work
of the bear that filled her hands, going for the kill and silencing
the animal, Cindy made quick work of it. “Wow,” Cindy
exclaimed looking at the bigger than her fist size bear. “and you
said there’s another one in there?”
Dagon
nodded, but he heard the sounds of a very upset and infuriated bear
roaring in the cave. Dagon got his blades out, ready for a charging
raging bear, but it didn’t seem to be leaving the protection of the
cave. Cindy put the dead bear down near Dagon and started to get
ready to reach for the other bear.
“Wait,”
Dagon quickly told his sister.
Cindy
paused, “What?”
“I’ll
go get it,” Dagon told her as he headed for the cave, ready for
combat.
“What?
No. Why?” Cindy portested, sounding confused at Dagon’s
reasoning.
Dagon
looked at Cindy and then back at the cave where the enraged bear was
still making upset noises. “Because now it’s awake. It was fine
if one was asleep, but the other one is so much bigger. That thing
could bite your thumb off or something. Don’t worry I got
this.”
Cindy
seemed alarmed at Dagon's words, but the worry only seemed to build
as she started to think about it. “So-so what? Are you going to go
in there instead of me? If it can bite my thumb off, what do you
think it’s gonna do to you?!”
“I’ll
be fine,” Dagon lied. Honestly he wasn’t sure why he was gonna do
this, they had enough food for the night. However, something told
Dagon they would be better off with more food and the extra fur would
keep Cindy warm. Dagon started to head back into the cave when
Cindy’s hand came out of nowhere, blocking off the entrance.
“No
way little brother, I’m not letting you in there with that thing,”
Cindy demanded.
Dagon
rolled his eyes, “So you rather we just leave it in there? Cindy I
don’t know how much food is out here but this could be the last BIG
meal we find.”
“Well,”
Cindy said, sitting up and crossing her arms over her chest, not
budging on letting Dagon go in there, “You better just think up a
better solution than. Cause as long as I’m here, your not getting
in there.”
Dagon
threw his head back and groaned at his dumb sister’s mentatlity,
“Why are you like this…”
Cindy
didn’t say anything but it was clear she was standing her ground.
Shaking his head Dagon tried to think of what they could do to try
and lure or chase out the bear from the cave. Nothing came to mind
for a few moments. The silence between Dagon and Cindy was only
broken by the sound of some trees moving in the wind, branches
creaking.
“I
got it, grab some branches,” Dagon ordered Cindy.
“A
please would be nice,” Cindy huffed. Just as Cindy got up to move
away from the cave she spun around and looked at Dagon like a parent
would at a child that would be up to no good, “You better not be
distracting me to run in there!”
Dagon
threw his hands up at her paraionai, “Do you really not trust me at
all-”
Cindy
let out a bitter laugh, “Not really. I mean come on…”
Dagon
shook his head, “I promise.” Cindy smiled at his words, taking
his promise to heart. Granted, if Dagon's recent plan wasn’t so
brilliant, he would have charged into the cave without Cindy knowing.
However there was no need to be so reckless, not with a giantess with
him. Once Cindy got a decent size of piled up wood set at the
entrance of the cave, Dagon started a fire. “Alright, give it some
air, and blow the smoke into the cave.” Dagon told Cindy who looked
confused.
“What’s
that gonna do?”
“Were
gonna smoke it out, or maybe even better knock it out.” Cindy did
as Dagon told her. She blew on the bonfire and pushed a good smokey
cloud of black and gray air into the cavern. Something Dagon wouldn’t
have been able to do at his size, but having someone who had a much
larger lung capacity than him, well this was just down right
ingenious.
Cindy
continued to blow smoke from their fire into the cave. The noises of
the bear started to increase with agitation after a few minutes of
blowing. Dagon stood there waiting for the cave bear to do something
besides make roars. Finally after the tenth or so breath from Cindy,
Dagon heard movement. The sound of paws slapping rocks filled the
cavern as the bear was making a rush for the entrance. Dagon pulled
his dagger out again and got into a crouch position, ready to react
to the bear’s charge. Just as Cindy was gonna puff another blast,
another hefty smoky cloud into the cavern, a bear almost too big to
fit out the opening, came bursting out. It made a frightened noise at
Cindy’s size and appearance and the fire burning before it.
However it never slowed down as it charged at the only “safe”
direction, toward Dagon. Dagon was ready to attack the big bear that
was attempting to get past him. Dagon’s hands gripped his blades
and was prepared to do a roll and-
The
bear let out a startled cry as Cindy ’s hands were on it faster
than Dagon could react. He stumbled as he started his lunge for the
bear’s throat, only to have Cindy pick up the bear with both her
hands. “OH JEEZ HE’S A BIG ONE!” She shouted trying to keep the
beast in both her hands, but finding it difficult. Dagon watched his
sister do the same thing with this bear as the last one, killing it
quickly and silencing its thrashing and roaring. As it lay limp in
her hands, Dagon could see just how big the beast really was. Its maw
could have easily fit Dagon’s head in it with one bite. Maybe he
was acting a little too cocky thinking he could have taken it.
“Good
job,” Dagon told Cindy as he relaxed with the threat dealt with.
Dagon put his weapons away and sighed a breath of relief.
“That’s
it,” Cindy asked, sounding hurt and looking unappreciated.
Dagon
looked confused, “That’s it, what?”
Cindy
blew a raspberry at Dagon, “I just saved your life, and all I get
is a GOOD JOB?”
Dagon
sputtered, “Saved my life? Oh please I totally had that thing where
I wanted it. If you didn’t butt in I would have killed it faster
than you did.”
“OH
PLEASE,” Cindy’s retort at his response, hit Dagon hard, “You
were shaking in your boots, I saw it. You were gonna freeze up.”
“Fr-freeze
up?!” Dagon was beyond stunned at the comment. He never froze.
“Yup,”
Cindy smirked, “You’re just lucky I was here to save you. You're
welcome, little brother.”
“I-
I can’t believe this!” Dagon shouted as he pointed at his sister,
“You’re lucky there were only two of them. I would have shown you
what I could do to the third one, just to shut you up!”
“Too
bad we’ll never know now, right,” Cindy stuck her tongue out at
Dagon.
“Fine,”
Dagon said, throwing his hands up and walking past Cindy. He figured
if she was gonna play her games like that, he could play his own
games. “I guess you’re right. You killed them. I guess you can
prepare your kills, right? Cleaning and cooking YOUR prey, right?
What do you need me for right?”
Cindy’s
taunting died down as her smile faded faster than the dying fire,
“Wh-what?”
Dagon
grinned as he started to head back to camp not bothering to touched
the bears that Cindy killed. “I mean I got my food,” Dagon said,
referring to the small animals he caught. “I’m sure you can take
care of your own stuff right? A big Giantess like you can take care
of herself right?”
“Dagon…
that’s-that’s not funny,” Cindy called out, “You-you know how
I get around… that kind of stuff. The blood and,” Dagon didn’t
look back to see Cindy but he could clearly hear her shudder at the
idea of how messy she thought it would be.
Dagon
laughed, “You’ll be fineeee, you can take care of the rest, cause
I mean it was all you right? I shouldn’t bother helping with
something that you did all by yourself, right? Like mom used to say,
you keep what you kill.”
Dagon
hated referring to mom, but it helped drill in the point as Cindy
picked up the bears and started after him. “Okay okay, I take
it back,” She whined.
Cindy
watched Dagon prepare their meals. She did her best not to look when
it got to the grizzly part. Cindy could only stomach so much of the
process, however when it came to it, she couldn’t get around it.
Maybe it was Dagon always watching over her, but he always prepared
the meals for her. Luckily when it came to food, if it was prepared
and cooked she was fine eating it. What she would do without Dagon
was beyond her, as Dagon was already starting to set up their food
for the next couple of days.
Trying
not to look at the messy process Dagon was going through cutting into
the animals, Cindy looked out into the dark night wondering what
Nancy was doing right now. She was probably taking care of Olivia in
the warm massive home she helped keep clean. Did Nancy miss her? They
didn’t really get to say goodbye and part of Cindy hated that she
left Nancy without a single word. Did Nancy resent her for following
her brother? Surely she could understand that he needed her help
right? When Cindy got back she would make sure to make it up to
Nancy. She would show her how much she meant to her by giving her the
greatest gift she could offer. Cindy would propose to Nancy once they
got back.
The
sound of snapping brought Cindy’s attention back to Dagon, “Hey,
did you hear me?”
“Of
course,” Cindy snapped at Dagon’s tone trying to play off his
question.
“...So?”
Dagon asked, examining Cindy with a knowing look.
“Uh…
sure…” Cindy said, trying to act like she knew what he asked.
Dagon just gave her a long look before she broke, “Fine, I didn’t
hear you… what did you say?”
“I
was asking you about the fur. Did you want me to make it into
anything special? Leg warmers, thighs, arms… other more… private
parts,” Dagon asked, gesturing in Cindy’s sensitive areas.
“Uh,
shoulders are fine,” Cindy remarked as she tried to return to her
thoughts.
Dagon
on the other hand didn’t stop, “Something on your mind?”
Cindy
sighed. Of course he would pick up on her mood so easily. “I… I
miss her. I love you brother, but I love her too. Like, I don’t
know, I don’t want to pick-”
Dagon
laughed, cutting Cindy off, “Don’t pick. Look, I know how much
you love Nancy. It’s not even a contest between us. This means the
world to me, helping me with finding Melody and Ashley is something
I’ll owe you big for. I know at first I wasn’t going to ask you,
sorry. I thought I should do this on my own,” Dagon sighed, “But
you were already there ready to help. The only reason I didn’t
object was cause I knew you would argue for days to come with me, and
it would only take me longer to leave.” Dagon laughed again, “I’m
expecting Nancy to keep you from being stupid, like right now, and
let me do some crazy shit without dragging you into it.”
Cindy
shook her head, “This isn't stupid. Ashely is part of the family…
and…” It took Cindy a moment to say it, “So is Melody, to an
extent. You’re wrong about one thing brother.” Cindy leaned in to
look at Dagon hard, “This isn't about you. I want to find them just
as bad as you. You were the only family I had after mom died. Now we
have more… and I will do whatever I can to help them…” Cindy
pulled back smiling a cocky grin, “Even if that means saving my
dumby ass of a brother from a bear attacking him.”
Dagon
let out an annoyed sound, “I TOLD YOU I HAD HIM!”
“Suuuure
you did,” Cindy snickered with a playful grin.
It
was nice that they still acted the same after everything that’s
happened over the past couple of years. As Dagon argued over his
tactics of taking on a bear that size, Cindy slowly forgot about her
worries as she continued to tease her brother as he prepared their
meal and her new clothing.
Melody
held Ashely closely as she tried to keep her as silent as she could.
How did things get this messed up? It was like any other gathering
over the many years. Melody and her other family members
showing up. Sharing tales of encounters of a hunt or a recent mating
season. Introducing new additions to the family, like Melody was
doing with Ashely. Having her learn about Melody's side of the
family. However things turned horrible wrong when they were all
attacked. Those people coming out of nowhere. Normally Melody
wouldn’t have worried, but their vast numbers were staggering, and
the weapons they possessed were too much for her and the rest of her
family. It wasn’t long before she found that her mother and older
sister were dead. Melody would have fought with the rest of her
family, aunts and nieces but Ashely was with her … and she was her
first priority. As painful as it was, Melody fled as her family tried
to keep the horrible people back.
Fleeing
for a safe place, Melody could only listen to the sounds of combat
and slaughter. Sadly, the sounds of the horrible people getting the
upper hand, filled the area as the rest of her family ran or fell.
For the next couple of days, Melody proceeded to hide and sneak the
best she could through the lands as she came across hunting parties
looking for Giantess. They were out for blood. She didn’t know if
they knew about her, or were just looking for any Giantess in
general. Never before had Melody seen people organize and prepare
themselves like these bloodthirsty groups.
This
wasn’t normal, a Giantess shouldn’t fear people like this, THEY
were the ones to be fearing Giantess. However, holding her daughter
in her hand, she knew she couldn’t risk fighting with her young
one. If something were to happen to Ashely…
Melody
banished the thought.
Melody
cowered deeper into a rocky region as a group of people searched
above Melody and Ashely’s head. If someone were to look down the
deep drop, they might spot an exposed part of Melody. However it
seemed no one was peeking over the side. The sound of Ashely
whimpering brought Melody’s attention to her daughter. Frightened,
she called for the only person she knew that might help, “Daddy….”
“Shhh,
shhh, it’s gonna be okay,” Melody whispered, trying to keep her
calm. It was a lie she told herself and Ashley to keep some hope in
their life, “Daddy’s coming. Dagon will come for us… I’m sure
of it,” Melody whispered, trying to believe her own lies for her
daughter’s sake.
Author's Notes:
Sorry, no the story isn't dead, just got other things that needed to be done before this. I'll try and get the next chapter out sooner but it wont be that soon.
“Princess
this is a very bad idea,” Nancy told Olivia as she started to pack
up a bag with the essential clothes she thought she would need for
the journey. Olivia had never been to Brax town but she heard
it was cold, and she didn’t want to be chilly there.
“Is
it,” Olivia asked sounding very heated. Her voice raising as she
stormed her chambers tossing more clothes, brushes, perfume, and
other supplies that she would need for the long trip. “Dagon runs
off with Cindy and you think I should stay here and not do anything?!
And you're fine with Cindy just disappearing without a word to you
either??”
Olivia
watched the worry and concern on Nancy’s face break out for a few
moments before calming down, as her maid training had taught her. Her
break in emotions was something she usually never did, which just
showed how worried she was for Dagon’s sister and personal lover.
Still Nancy’s emotions cleared up as she seemed to be able to
correct herself infront of Olivia, “I’m sure they are fine. Cindy
is strong… so is Dagon.”
Olivia
paused and closed her eyes as she felt like maybe she was
overreacting. Dagon didn’t need her to help. Especially if Cindy is
with him, in fact she was a Giantess. However…that still didn’t
help this sinking and horrible feeling she had. Like if she didn’t
do something, yesterday would be the last time she would ever see
Dagon alive. No matter how much she fought it off, she got that
dreaded feeling that Dagon was in trouble. “I know… I know you’re
right but-” Olivia spun around to confront Nancy showing the fear
and concern in her face, “What if they aren’t? What if they get
into trouble and need help?”
It
was clear Nancy was thinking the same thing as Olivia spoke her
worries out loud, however Nancy couldn’t help but look away not
willing to speak out. Olivia saw the worry on her face and it was
clear she wasn’t trying to work up Olivia’s own fears. Nancy
always was always trying to be the best maid she could be. “I know
Princess, but what about your father? He would never allow you to
leave like this.”
Olivia
let out a huff at the very true words spoken, “Than thanks goodness
I’m not telling him.”
Nancy
turned toward Olivia just as she shut her bags closed with a slam,
“Your highness… you’re gonna run away?!”
Olivia
shushed Nancy with her hands and words, “Shhh… technically…
kind of…”
Nancy
shook her head, “This is a VERY bad idea-”
Olivia
rolled her eyes, “It’s fine, I’ll have my personal guard with
me. And it’s not like I haven’t learned anything from Dagon,
Cindy, and Melody about the outside.” Olivia puffed her chest out
proudly, “I’ve learned a few things about how to survive out in
the wilds.”
Nancy
didn’t show it, but doubt ran throughout her body, “Princess...your
majesty… please reconsider-”
Olivia
couldn’t help but pick up the stupid note that Dagon left her,
“Nancy,” She said waving the flimsy paper sheet around, “You
know as well as I do that Dagon sucks at writing. It’s clear what
he’s intending to do, and no amount of smokescreening he tries with
THIS letter is gonna persuade me that Melody and Ashely aren’t in
trouble. Now we know where they are going, and maybe my presence in
Brax town can help with something political or… I don’t konw…”
Olivia sighed as she felt useless right now. “I just,” Olivia
looked at Nancy as she also mirrored her reaction of hopelessness, “I
don’t- no I CAN’T sit around and do nothing. I can’t just wait
for them to get back or hear news about something bad happening to
them.”
Nancy
let out her own sounds of worry as she knew what Olivia was saying,
“Your majesty… if we’re gonna do this, then at least we should
come up with a decent lie for your father. That way he doesn’t
send all his men after you the minute he finds out you left.”
Olivia
smiled at her best friend, “Thank you…” However that smile
faded, “Uh… so, um, what would that be?”
Nancy
sighed again as she headed over to the desk in Olivia’s room, “I’ll
start to prepare something believable for him.”
Dagon
sat on Cindy’s shoulder, in the freezing cold, as they continued to
head toward Brax town. Rubbing his hand together yet again, Dagon
breathed into his hands as he tried to warm them up so he didn’t
lose any fucking fingers to the fridged air. “You're sure you're
not cold,” Dagon Asked his sister again.
“Of
course not,” Cindy told him, trying to sound sure, but failing as
the chill was clearly heard in her voice. It was like she was
trying to pretend she wasn’t stuttering on some vows and letters.
“Let’s
take a break and warm up,” Dagon said, patting Cidny’s shoulder.
“I
said I’m not cold,” Cindy remarked, definitely trying to act
tough.
Annoyed
at his stupid stubborn sister Dagon grumbled before he said annoyed,
“Well I am, and I’m not gonna freeze my butt off on your shoulder
cause you’re not cold. I’m not trying to be a freaking icicle
before I see my daughter.” Dagon pointed to a nice patch of ground
for them to take a break.
As
much as Cindy grumbled and complained, she finally took a seat and
huddled her legs up to her body to conserve heat as she tried to warm
her limbs up. Dagon tried to think of what to do for his sister, but
it wasn’t like they had a blanket for her. In hindsight, Dagon
should have made something for her before heading up here. However in
Dagon’s defense he never needed to make one for her where they live
and it wasn’t like he had time to prepare one for her.
“It’s
best not to sit still,” Dagon warned as he stood by his enormous
sitting sister.
Cindy
rolled her eyes and mocked Dagon, “Best not sit still, what are
you, an expert about the north now that we’re here?”
Dagon
scoffed at his sister’s attitude, “No. But I have been here a few
times, and trust me, you don’t want any frostbite on your hands or
feet. So… don’t sit still too long.”
Cindy
was deciding on listening to her brother, and finally rolled her eyes
before standing up and moving around casually. “This sucks,”
Cindy complained as she walked around as she tried to keep moving,
taking her brother's advice. Shuffling around and making sure
her limbs didn’t freeze up on her.
Dagon
rubbed his hands and causally breathed into them to warm them up, yet
again. He did his best to stay out of his sister’s causally
trampling path. He didn’t think of how much space she would take up
moving around in the little area. However now it seemed Dagon had to
more than once to dodge his sister’s freaking feet. Staying out of
her massive path was more of a work out than Dagon thought as it was
actually keeping him warmer than what he was doing beforehand.
Finally
fed up with staying out of Cindy’s stupid steps, Dagon called out,
“Okay I think we’re warm enough.”
“Maybe
you are,” Cindy muttered as she looked still chilly, but what did
Dagon expect considering she wasn’t really dressed for the weather
up here. The little blanket of bear skin that Dagon made last night
hardly covered her midsection, never mind her feet, legs, and arms.
“Well,”
Dagon sighed, “The sooner we go, the quicker we can get to town,
and the sooner I can buy more pelts… unless you want to stand here
all day while I try and find more wildlife to use.” Dagon gave a
snort as he gestured around the pretty dead looking environment.
Not much plant life and less wildlife, “Considering how many
animals we spotted the past couple of hours, I doubt there's enough
to make you a sock or mitten.”
“Socks,”
Cindy asked, confused at the word.
It
took Dagon a moment to remember that footwear was nonexistent for
Giantess like his sister. “Never mind, let’s just head out.
Sooner we get to town, the sooner I can buy stuff and get
information. Which means the sooner we can go back home where it’s
warm.”
Cindy
sighed and nodded, “And where Nancy is…”
Dagon
nodded, “Yeah, and where Nancy is.” He couldn’t help but
think of Olivia at the mention of Nancy. His thoughts were
interrupted by the sudden harsh knock into his shoulder as Cindy
poked at him.
She
snickered, “And Olivia, I know you miss her too.”
“Oh
get off my back,” Dagon scoffed as he recovered from the mighty
impact he got from his stupid sister’s super finger. “We haven’t
even been gone that long. How could I miss her?”
“Sure….
We have been gone long enough to not want to be here,” Cindy
reported as she crossed her arms over her frigid chest as she looked
down at Dagon. “I still have no idea why anyone would want to live
up here in this stupid place. It’s so cold and barren. Did Melody
really grow up here?”
Dagon
watched as Cindy started to bend down and lower her hand to pick him
up. As she lifted up Dagon and brought him to her shoulder he sighed,
“I don’t know. She doesn’t really talk a lot about her past. I
mean…” Again Dagon sighed as he thought about it. Cindy slowly
started to walk forward and to their destination as Dagon went on, “I
don’t ask. Maybe I should? There's a lot I don’t know about her
but like,” Dagon felt some kind of conflict in him, “Should I?”
Cindy
shrugged, nearly toppling the unsuspecting Dagon from her shoulder.
“I don’t know. Do YOU want to?”
Dagon
had to think about it for a while. Sure Melody was his daughter's
mom, but he didn’t have much if any attraction to the Giantess.
Especially after what transpired a few years ago. The more he thought
about that day he was captured and used for her own desire, the more
it only made Dagon dislike Melody more. Yet he couldn’t fault
her since he knew about Giantess mating cycles.
However,
unlike the past, things and people change. Melody never made a move
or forced herself back on him like that day. No matter how many times
she seemed tempted at certain times of the year. Dagon respected that
more than anything. “I don’t know,” Dagon muttered as he
started to contemplate the thought of knowing more about the giantess
that was raising his daughter. “Maybe? Ashely is being raised by
her. Maybe I should know more about what’s being taught. I kind of
remember what mom taught us when she was praising you, at least if
you can call that raising.” Dagon scoffed as he shook his head at
the thought of his past and his mom.
“What?
Mom wasn't that bad,” Cindy said, trying to defend her.
Dagon
looked at his sister like she was crazy. He was about to say
something but recalled how young she was last time he was with their
mom. “Maybe to you,” Dagon said before turning away and watching
the vast landscape change as Cindy walked. “She was a total BI-”
“Hey,”
Cindy cut Dagon off with a warning in her voice, “That’s our mom
you're talking about.”
“Yeah…”
Dagon scoffed as he went on, “Which is why I was gonna call her a-”
Cindy
turned toward Dagon and gave him a look that made him rethink the
word he was gonna call her. “A person I didn’t like…” Dagon
said with an annoyed look. “You might not have to worry about her,
but she hated me.”
“She
didn’t hate you,” Cindy argued, turning her attention back to the
ground before her.
Dagon
would have let out a hard laugh if he wasn’t too busy not trying to
bite his tongue off with each step Cindy was making. Dagon rolled his
eyes that his sister couldn’t see, “AH yes, I forgot that
threatening to eat you whole was a loving sentiment that EVERY parent
tells their child. How forgetful of me.” The amount of
sarcasm coming from Dagon made Cindy’s shoulder feel heavier than
before.
Cindy
didn’t argue with his remark.
Dagon
shook his head, “She was some mom… look can we just not talk
about her?”
Cindy
slowly nodded her head in agreement.
Dagon
sighed as he looked out over the horizon as they traveled. He was
quiet, which also didn’t help as Cindy was silent. The only sound
was the soft thuds of her feet on the frozen ground before her. The
silence between the two was long as Cindy continued to walk and Dagon
stayed on her shoulder for the journey. Dagon felt bad as every
breeze of cold air made Cindy shiver, but she never said a word about
the weather.
Dagon
finally said something to spark a conversation up for the long walk,
“Soooo, when are you gonna marry Nancy?”
Cindy
seemed to trip over an invisible rock or root as she stumbled forward
before stopping herself from falling. “WHAT?! Why are you asking
that,” Cindy asked flustered at the very private and personal
question.
“What?
I’m your brother… the least we can do is chat about it while we
walk,” Dagon said, trying to sound innocent at the big question he
asked.
Cindy
muttered as she went back to a strolling pace, “I mean… like I
said, I want to… some time… soon...”
Dagon
snorted as he rolled his eyes, “Ah yes, soon. I love that time.
It’s somewhere between yesterday and never.”
Cindy
turned her head toward Dagon with an angry scowl and pressed her lips
together and blew a mighty blow of hot air to push Dagon off her
shoulder. Dagon would have gone tumbling off Cindy if he wasn’t
prepared the moment he saw her turning toward him. Dagon grabbed the
material closest to him and held on as the mighty gust of air ripped
at him. “Buzz off brother.”
“Just
calm down,” Dagon panted as he relaxed after the attack. At
least it warmed him up a bit. “I’m just trying to fucking help my
baby sister.”
Cindy
shook and possibly rolled her eyes at the “help” that Dagon was
trying to offer. Finally she spoke, “Yeah? And what? How are you
gonna help me when you haven’t even made a move on Olivia?”
Dagon’s
teasing smile slowly died, “I… well that’s completely
different.”
“Ohhhhh,”
Cindy smirked as she was now on the attack, “How so? I thought you
were both doing soooooo well together, I mean… it’s not like your
a GIANTESS trying to marry a normal person.”
Dagon’s
mouth hung open at the actuations, “She’s royalty!”
“Oh
noooo…” Cindy mocked, “Olivia trying to marry someone her own
size… how dreadful.”
Dagon
slapped Cindy's shoulder, that was probably more like a tickle to
her, “There is so much more to her world than ours! Besides her
fucking dad is like out to get me. I can’t even be in the same room
if he’s there! You have no idea how bad it is…” Dagon watched
Cindy glance at him with an arched brow, just before she scoffed
Dagon went on, “Okay… so maybe we're more alike than we think,
but I’m just saying Nancy has already tooken the deep dive, you
both are already there. Me and Olivia… well…” Dagon sighed as
he thought about it while watching Cindy walk over a crevice in the
ground that would have been nearly impossible for Dagon to jump over.
Dagon let out a sullen voice as he went on, “She’s… she’s got
options that she can make. She doesn’t need to settle for me-”
Cindy
let out a mighty snort, “OH my god… you're so fucking oblivious…
you want to give me advice, and yet look at you, that is just so
sad.”
Dagon
glared at Cindy, “What are you fucking trying to say, huh?”
“Oh
please… she’s completely head over heels for you!” Cindy
retorted with a goofy know it all grin. “She’s been like that
since… well, I’d say day one, but I wasn’t there… sweet
Olivia is totally into you. And you're into her… so stop being a
little,” Cindy slowed down as she brought her face closer to Dagon,
“Whimp! I mean if I’m gonna ask Nancy to marry me, the least you
can do is try and be official with Olivia’s dad and everyone else
around her.”
Dagon
was annoyed that his sister would poke at this topic. He was trying
to make it more about her, but it somehow turned on him. Yet, she had
a point. He should make it more official than just rumors and
speculations. Dagon should try and throw his hat into the fray and
ask for Olivia’s hand.
Letting
out the exhausted sigh, Dagon nodded, “I guess you’re right. So …
what are we gonna do, try and see who asks who first?”
There
was a pause before Cindy looked at Dagon with a smug childish look
which Dagon could only replicate before saying, “Loser has to do
what?”
“Well…
my toes have been feeling a little stiff and scraggly, especially
from walking up here on all this cold hard ground,” Cindy mentioned
with the shitties grin on her face.
Dagon
shuddered, and it wasn’t because of the cold. The thought of having
to clean and pamper his giant sister’s toes was one of the few NO
NOS he had. A giantess's feet was something one did not want to be
near after long walks.
However
Dagon gave Cindy the same shit eating grin as he spoke, “Well, I
haven’t had Skralling in a while…”
Cindy’s
face went from cocky to straight cold horror, “You wouldn’t….
the last time I went to grab one, it fucking sprayed me and I smelled
horrible for a week!”
Dagon
just shrugged, “Hey if you want to back out now like a wuss go
ahead…”
Cindy
contemplated it before narrowing her eyes as she weighed the possible
benefits and downfalls of this bet. Finally she spoke, “DEAL!”
Dagon
laughed as he gave Cindy a sinister smile “Oh shit, this gonna be
good. I mean the moment we get back all I got to do ask Olivia, but
you? Well you gotta wait till Nancy leaves the town to even
talk with her. I hope you don’t mind smelling like Skralling for a
week!”
Cindy
smirk instantly died as she realized what Dagon was saying. He could
get to town any time of the day but Cindy had to wait till Nancy
snuck out to meet her. “HEY NO THAT’S NOT FAIR!”
“ooo
are you trying to back out now,” Dagon mocked his enormous sister..
“You
tricked me!” Cindy yelled as she turned toward Dagon on her
shoulder glaring daggers at him.
“Too
late, we made the bet,” Dagon continued to tease as he got ready to
dodge any of Cindy’s swats or smacks at him.
“DAGON!”
Cindy cried as she did just that. Her left arm tried to swat and hit
her annoying brother, but he was too quick and limber as he crawled
around her shoulder and neck. Cindy was whining at her brother as she
swung and missed every time. Always hearing his annoying laugh in her
ears as he slithered around her neck and body.
Cindy
complained for a long time as she tried to punish her elusive
brother. The two siblings continued to argue and tease each other as
they made their way to Brax town
The
journey to Brax town was longer than Dagon remembered, but Cindy made
it to one of the few checkpoints outside of town undetected. The sign
on the dusty and unkept road told Dagon they were close. Oddly there
didn’t seem to be a soul nearby traveling to or from Brax town.
“Alright,”
Dagon told Cindy as he slipped down her arm and to the cold ground.
“You stay here, maybe look around a little, BUT,” Dagon said
firmly, “Stay out of sight, I don’t need Brax town going into a
frenzy seeing you walking around near their city.”
Cindy
rolled her eyes as she shooed Dagon off while mocking him, “DoN’t
bE a giAntESs NeAR a ciTY!” Cindy gave Dagon a look, “I get it…
jeez, you act like this is new to me. Not the first time I had
to sit around waiting for you.”
“I’m
just trying to keep you from getting hurt,” Dagon told her with as
much sincerity as he could without acting like an older brother.
He really wanted to give her some sass but he could understand her
feelings about the whole situation.
“And
I’m fine,” Cindy complained as she rolled her eyes at him. “Jeez,
if anything I’d be more worried about yourself. Gonna go walk into
some random town and ask questions about giantess… If anyone should
be worrying I’d think it would be you.”
Dagon
shook his head at his sister's remark as he grabbed his bag and
started the long journey to Brax town. His sister didn’t know what
she was saying, Dagon knew from first hand experience how to react
with others. As a Giantess she had no idea what it was like all those
years he was on his own. He knew exactly what to say and how to
behave, what to do to blend in and be a common local or a traveler.
Ignoring any words of advice that Cindy gave, Dagon headed toward the
town of Brax. Slowly he made his long journey across the rough and
unkept road to the town.
The
walk toward the northern town could have been more gentle as the
ground felt more like loose rubble or rocks. The ground wasn’t
paved or repaid like other towns, it was clear there wasn’t much
care going into the roads. Brax Town must be putting its money and
manpower into other activities than paving the trading route to and
from the city. Traversing across the road while stumbling, made it
harder to reach his destination. Combine that with the cold bleak
weather, it only made the trip that much worse. Dagon had to
tug his cloak and clothing closer and tighter as he approached the
distant city, just so he wouldn’t freeze his jewels off. As
horrible as the walk to the city was, he knew it would have been
worse without his sister. Even so, he shut his happiness and
any emotions for his sister’s help down, and made his way
toward the major town in the area to get some answers and simple
supplies. Daogn slowly came toward the town walls and gate. As
he approached the weird object he saw slowly came into focus causing
him to reach the shocking and stunning sight before him.
The
opening gates were the same normal looking doors, with the same size
and girth as many towns like this. However there were more details to
the main gate that took Dagon aback as soon as he walked through and
took in the sight before him. There were large long looming objects
hanging over the entrance just beyond the gate, once you entered Brax
Town. Those elongated shapes came into view as Dagon got closer, big
enormous white bones hanging over the gate openings like a
chandelier. Dagon couldn’t help but look at the jagged stick
like structures that hung over the outside of the gate. Dagon felt
his stomach drop as he could only think of one creature… or person,
that would make such bones, a giantess. Those were giantess bones
draping the outskirts of the town like decorations or trophies.
Something that wasn’t here last time Dagon traveled to the town.
The sigh of those white chalky beams lining above him made his
stomach turn at the possibilities of who they belonged to.
Dagon
buried the sick and disgusted feeling as he stepped into Brax Town. A
pair of guards were standing at the wide open gates. Any attention
Dagon thought he was gonna get from them, was nonexistent. The guards
were so uncaring and nonchalant about Dagon entering the city, that
he hardly had to say a word or two before he was let into the open
city. He wasn’t even checked for dangerous weapons. It was
clear they were more concerned about other things. Dagon slowly
walked beyond the gate and into the very bleak and bland town. The
streets were nearly empty and the citizens were hardly out walking
around. Dagon saw a few people on the side of the street eyeball him
but soon turned away from him. It was like walking through a ghost
town, there was little to no life or activity going on around him and
it was startling.
Dagon
had a bad feeling about this place, as he slowly lurked deeper into
the livelihoods of Brax Town and its citizens. No one seemed “normal
'', everyone looked gloomy, upset, or agitated. The only sound
he heard was either someone arguing with someone or a cold and quiet
voice asking for food. Every other corner Dagon turned he found
someone fighting with another or a limp body on the side of the
street. A haunting aura hovered around the town, which made Dagon on
edge.
“What
the fuck,” Dagon muttered to himself as he passed another brawl of
two men trying to beat the other to a pulp. Finally he was entering
the so-called “trading center”, the marketplace for the whole
town. The heart of the city. This too seemed oddly empty.
Dagon looked at the stalls around and found most of them had nothing
if not small supplies he didn’t need. Confused, Dagon went to the
nearest stall, “Hey… I’m looking for lots of pelts and furs.
You know anyone who might have some?” Dagon slowly slid a gold
piece to the shopkeeper. The keeper quickly snatched it up before
checking the authenticity of the coin. Satisfied he looked back at
Dagon with a weary look, but after being paid he gave up the info.
“Yeah…
yeah, over there,” he said, pointing toward another larger stall
while pocketing the coin. “They got something from the last hunt.”
Dagon
paused at that word and how he said it, “Hunt?” Dagon repeated,
not sure what that meant.
“Yeah…”
He nodded, “Now go on you, unless you're gonna buy something or
want to trade for more information,” He asked with a greedy twinkle
in his eye. His hand shot out for more gold.
Dagon
slowly shook his head, he wasn’t made of money and didn’t need to
be blowing his cash that easily. Dagon walked away from the grumpy
trader as he headed toward the pelt dealer. As Dagon approached he
also noticed how gloomy and grungy this trader was too. Just like the
atmosphere of the town, he looked deprived and poor of funds. Dagon
slowly approached the merchant and saw his eyes glow at a possible
customer.
“GREETINGS!”
The voice sounded stressed as it was forced to be full of excitement.
Dagon
finally asked the looming question, “What… what’s going on
around here?”
“What
do you mean,” He asked, sounding a little confused. “Wait, did
you not want to … buy?” The warning in his voice sounded worried
and harsh as it seemed that his hopes of money were being ripped
away.
“Do
you sell pelts, fabric, or something to use for staying warm,”
Dagon asked to make sure this wasn’t a waste of time.
“Why
of course!” He quickly spoke.
“Then
yes, I have business with you. So long as it’s what I'm looking
for.” Dagon stressed his words to make sure he understood
that Dagon wasn’t a chump.
The
merchant looked hesitant as he glanced around as if expecting someone
to come rob him, “What are you looking for… stranger?”
Dagon
sensed the man's hesitation. First Dagon showed his hands before
dipping his hand into his pocket to show some coins. This seemed to
ease the man before him, “Well, I need fabric, the warmer the
better. The larger, well I got a lot of people to clothe, so the
bigger the better ....”
The
trader’s eyes bulged before a giant grin came on his face, “Well
stranger… I have what you're looking for and MORE!”
Dagon
nodded as he dropped his coins into his pocket before repeating, “So
this place…. It’s a lot different from when I was here last.”
The
merchant paused as he stopped from gathering his materials. “How
so?”
“Well,
it seems so much… uh… less lively, I guess. Did something happen
here,” Dagon asked as he watched the merchain before him slowly go
into the tent behind him. “Everyone seems kind of off, I guess, or
I’m just not used to this freezing weather,” Dagon chuckled,
hoping to get a friendly response from the trader.
The
merchant wasn’t laughing as he went about his business and finally
came back out of his tent of supplies, “A lot has happened in the
last few years. Things have changed…” The pause he left on made
Dagon arch a brow at those haunted words.
“Changed…
like for the better or… worse?” Dagon asked seeing the man seem
uncomfortable explaining. Seeing how touchy the subject was Dagon
threw his hands up, “Nevermind, forget it. Let’s just focus on
our trade, and I’ll be out of your hair.”
This
seemed to please the man as he nodded before pulling out a large
chunk of fur and slammed it on the table before them. “Just got
this today. Fresh and warm, one of the larger pieces I got. Feel it,
it’s good quality. Sure it might take some work to cut it to normal
size to fit you or whoever, but you can’t beat the softness and
warmth provided.”
Dagon
looked at the large cloth fabric that was easily determined to belong
to a large creature. There was only one type of creature that would
wear this, a Giantess. Dagon kept a stone face as he looked at the
wolf and bear hybrid clothing that a Giantess must have made and
stitched together. “Wh-where did you get this? This is giantess
clothing…”
For
the first time the trader smirked, “Good eye sir, I have plenty, in
fact if you're looking for something more furry, I have one made of
Elk and Mogor. A weird combination but oddly satisfying.
Especially with the cold season coming in.”
Dagon
didn’t care about any of that, he was too shocked to see Giantess
clothing being sold, and it sounded like there was more. “How…?”
Dagon asked, trying to find out how the trader got his hands on
something so important. One would have to sneak up on a
sleeping giantess or kill one, but both were highly unlikely.
The
merchain gave Dagon a cocky grin, “I know a few people on the
hunting party, I cut them a good deal and they usually give me the
materials of their kills.”
Dagon
felt a chill run up his spin as he knew what that meant. Brax town
was killing Giantess! It was an almost unheard of concept. Sure
fighting off a Giantess or two was something most people did, but a
fucking Hunting Party?! That was going to track, attack, and kill
giantesses. This was something that Dagon was unfamiliar with. “You
guys… attack giantesses,” Dagon asked, horrified at the possible
answer.
The
Merchain gave a soft shrug, “I don’t. I just sell the stuff the
hunters don’t need or want.”
Dagon’s
head was whirling at the news. This was insane. There was no way.
How? No WHY?! It was beyond unheard of to try and do something so
foolish and risky. Yet, there was no denying the fact that Dagon was
looking at a fabric bra and loincloth made out of animal fur for a
giantess to wear. “… I’ll take it,” Dagon said, paying
the sum of money asked for the premade fabric. It wouldn't be too
hard to customize the clothing for Cindy. However, Dagon had more
questions about this giantess hunting party.
A
sick feeling was running through him as he started to piece together
the horrible signs in the town. The large bones decorating areas had
to belong to several Giantess victims. Lucky, Dagon noticed most of
those bones were old, maybe a year or so. Melody hadn’t come up
here till a week or so, so those couldn’t possibly be her bones,
however that didn’t change the fact that Ashely and Melody were up
here somewhere. A place where people HUNTED Giantess… Dagon had a
much heavier sense of worry draping over his shoulders as part of his
family was in mortal danger.
Folding
and wrapping up the fabric so he could put it in his backpack and
carry it back to Cindy. Dagon decided he should get more
information out of this town before he left. This wasn’t the Brax
he was familiar with. Things had changed in the past couple years he
had last been here. “Hey,” Dagon said to the merchant counting
his coins, “This hunt, do you know when the next one is? Or who I
can talk to about joining or whatever?”
“You
want to join,” The merchant scoffed at the silly question. However
Dagon gave him a serious look that cut his mocking tone off, “Uh,
well, you can talk to Alex.”
Dagon
waited for a few moments before letting out an annoyed and grumbling
voice at the lack of explanation behind that answer, “AND WHERE IS
ALEX?!”
The
trader jumped as he shuddered at the harsh voice Dagon growled out,
“OH! RIGHT! Uh, he’s at the center of town preaching! You can’t
miss him, big beard, long hair… Scar on the left eye!”
Dagon
slowly nodded before saying, “Thanks.” With no more need for the
merchant, Dagon followed the directions. Luckily there wasn’t any
way the city could have changed that much that Dagon didn’t recall
some of the streets. Following the path he knew, he ducked around
corners and alleys to head toward the center of town. Dagon noticed
the citizens of Brax town, most of them seemed either starving or
highly aggressive littering the back roads or streets. If they
weren’t slumped up against a door or object they seemed to be in a
fist fight with someone.
Dagon
made sure to avoid as many people as he could making his way toward
this mysterious person, Alex. Dagon slipped through the streets till
he came into a large crowd, it wasn’t enormous like some of
Hagger’s town events. Those streets were way more packed than
here. However, that didn’t stop the fact that there were a
lot of citizens of the city standing around listening and watching.
Dagon stood in the back of the substantial sized crowd of people. He
could just make out the person up on a stand in the middle of the
square, as he talked to everyone.
“THERE’S
NO NEED TO BE AFRAID,” He shouted to everyone in a calm and
commanding voice. Dagon noticed how many people in the crowd were
agreeing with him. The congregation of bodies was filling up
the square as the speech continued as it riled up more people.
“They may be bigger but we have NUMBERS! TOO LONG HAVE WE
HID BEHIND THESE DAMN WALL! TOO LONG HAVE WE FEARED THEM!
NOW IT’S OUR TIME, IT’S NOW UP TO US TO TAKE EVERYTHING BACK!”
More agreement spread through the crowd as the man that Dagon could
only assume was Alex spoke out in a commanding and assertive voice.
“You’ve seen us, we’ve come back with not just bodies for
revenge, but for food! Food that we’ve been lacking for so
long, thanks to those monsters attacking our roads for years!
Now we can feed and be full, no longer waiting for others to try and
feed us! We have a source of meat! A source of
nourishment!”
Dagon’s
ears and eyes perked up at those words. They couldn’t
possibly mean what he was thinking, right?
Food…
No,
that was unthinkable. There was no way they were eating…
noway, that was fucking insane!
However,
sure enough, someone standing on the stage with Alex, started to toss
large chunks of what Dagon saw as chunks of packaged food into the
crowd of people. The cheering and cries of happiness filled the town
center as more pieces of “meat” were tossed out into the mass of
citizens.
“We
bring back more food for everyone! ENJOY! Tonight no one goes
hungry!” Alex cheered as more food was tossed and handed out to the
crowd of people. The crowd of people surged forward toward the
stage all wanting what was being offered to them.
Dagon
was horrified and disgusted as he watched waves of people ushering
forward to the free food being offered to what had to be a starving
crowd. Dagon didn’t move as he continued to watch the man continue
his talk while a frenzy of people tried to get something to eat. “For
too long have they hunted and eaten us for their food and fun. Now
it’s our time! Now it’s our TURN! No longer shall we starve
behind these walls, we shall consume the hunters and make them the
hunted! Join me and my fellow comrades and together we can purge
these lands of those wretched and horrible creatures! Let’s
bring back a feast for not just us but for everyone to enjoy! LONG
LIVE BRAX TOWN!” Alex’s voice roared as there was more cheering
and more people tossing slabs of meat out into the crowd of people
demanding more.
Dagon
saw all he needed as he felt sick at the sight of people consuming
Giantess meat. That was something he never even thought was possible.
Dagon gave the sight one last look as the masses of people fought and
argued for the meals being offered to everyone. The aggressive and
heinous acts in the crowd were disturbing and off putting. Dagon had
never seen people act so out of control and aggravated. So
bloodthirsty and angry. It was like they were all driven mad.
Still
Dagon got what he was looking for, information. It seemed somewhere
in the past few years, Alex came into power or at least led people
into hunting Giantess, to take one or more of them down. Now it
seems like he’s got a cult or following building off that initial
attack. The culture around Brax town had shifted heavily toward
these hunts that Alex was conducting. Something that was really
unsettling.
Sure Dagon got it, kind of. However, this
didn’t help him at all. In fact it made things much worse, as now
his fear for Melody and Ashely increased several fold. A whole
town hunting down his daughter and mother of his child . Sure, Dagon
wouldn’t be so worried about Melody, she might be fine, but she was
looking after Ashely, who was just a child. There was no telling what
could happen to them. Dagon had to find Cindy and try to get a head
start on this freaking nutty town that wanted to kill and eat his
daughter!
“Shit,
what the fuck,” Dagon muttered in a panic as he headed through the
streets and back toward the exit of this psycho crazy town. Dagon
needed to get back and catch up with Cindy, than they needed to book
it to find Ashely and Melody so they can head back to fucking Hager’s
town. Taking his daughter to a fucking Giantess hunting land was
probably the worest decision ever. If Dagon found Melody and Ashley
unharmed and safe, he would have to give Melody mother of the year
award…
Olivia
and Nancy had been traveling for a few days. The carriage they took,
without her father’s permission, had been on a nonstop journey to
Brax Town. They had been going since the other night and were going
on a full speed trip to Brax Town. As much as Olivia tried to sleep
through the night, she couldn’t as she woke up throughout the night
of their journey. The constant feeling in her gut didn’t help her
either. However, as much as she hated the trip in the small wooden
box, she was shocked at how fast they traveled. It was so much
quicker than her last trip to Luther’s town, which made her wonder
why the heck they didn’t use a carriage then? A question that she
pondered the closer they got to Brax town.
It
was getting later in the evening when Olivia started to feel herself
starting to fall asleep. Being up for so long was finally
taking a toll on her. The lack of sleep and the constant
clopping of hooves and rolling wheels started to wear her down.
“Princess
we are nearly there,'' one of Olivia’s guards said. “It shouldn’t
take more than a few more hours to reach Brax town.”
The
news startled Ovliva awake as she slowly nodded. Olivia
took a look through the carriage window to see her drivers, “Good,
the sooner we get there the better.” Olivia couldn’t help but
narrow her eyes as she thought of Dagon running off without saying
anything to her, “I have someone I need to TALK to,” Olivia
grumbled as she sat in the carriage. Her anger only seemed to be
fueled by the lack of sleep and annoyance of Dagon’s silly actions.
“Princess,
I don’t know if you should be so upset with him,” Nancy said as
she tried to remain as calm as she could in the carriage. This would
seem to be her first time riding in a carriage and it was showing
with each jostle and bump they took only made her look more agitated
and nervous.
“And
why not,” Olivia huffed, still feeling upset at Dagon’s lack of
communication.
Nancy
couldn’t do much but say, “I know he cares about you but he has
others he cares about too. Both of you are important to his life. Or
at least what I can tell. So please, I wouldn’t take this too
harshly, it is his daughter he’s looking out for.”
The
thought of Ashely made Olivia feel bad for forgetting the giant
little girl. It was hard sometimes for Olivia to recall that Dagon
did have a child, especially when he could only be around his
daughter at certain times. It was easy for Olivia to understand how
Dagon was feeling, because how worried she was about him, it must
have been worse for him worrying about Ashely’s safety and
wellbeing. The young giantess wasn’t even old enough to be on
her own.
Olivia
sighed as she huffed some of the hate out of her system, as she
calmed down, “You're right, but don’t think I’ll completely
forgive him.”
“Of
course your highness,” Nancy nodded as she flinched after another
bump in the road.
Olivia
felt bad as she watched Nancy try to stay calm, but it seemed even
her nerves were shocked too, “I’m sorry about this Nancy, if I
knew you didn’t like to travel like this, I would never have
suggested it.” Olivia felt bad for her personal maid following her,
granted she had her own reason for coming, but Olivia felt
responsible for the predicament of putting the poor girl in a
situation so distasteful to herself.
Nancy
tried to calm down as she shook her head as a small smile creased her
face in a kind of joking mood. “It’s kind of funny. Something so
small carrying me can make me feel so unsafe, nervous, and sick…
but, someone so large carrying me can make me feel so warm, safe, and
loved.”
Olivia
knew what Nancy was talking about, Cindy. Oddly Nancy was right,
unlike this bumpy and wobbling cart, Cindy could easily carry both of
them in a much smoother and gentler ride. Never once has Olivia
worried about falling off of Cindy. “That might be true,” Olivia
said before adding, “However, this is much faster than …”
Olivia caught herself from saying the word Giantess. She had to
remember that there were others around that could hear their
conversation and she didn’t need Dagon or Cindy in any trouble from
evesdroppers. “Other means of travel. In fact we should either
catch up to Dagon and Cindy, or possibly even beat them to town.”
Nancy
slowly nodded at the good news, however it didn’t improve her
displeased look with the mode of transportation they were in. If
anything it was like she was accepting a necessary evil in order to
get where she needed to go faster than the runaways, Cindy and Dagon.
It was probably for the best. Olivia sighed as she looked out the
right side of the carriage to be met with a wall of rocks and dirt
from the side of the clift they were riding alongside. The trip
to Brax Twon required climbing a trail along the side of a large
cliff. Turning to the left side of the carriage Olivia looked over
the bleak and cold landscape they traveled. She couldn't help but
wonder what Dagon and Cindy were doing right now. Olivia
pondered what the brother and sister were doing while her
transportation traveled above a large wooden forest spread out with
hills and rivers below them.
The
large clift side they were riding on had to be hundreds of feet tall,
if not taller. A height well above any giantess' reach. If
anything Olivia would say they were traveling up the side of a
mountain rather than a cliff, but they were heading up toward the
flat land above the leafless forest below them. The weather was
getting chillier the higher up they traveled.
“It
sure is cold up here,” Olivia commented as she started to look for
something to help put another layer on to keep out the cold.
“Here
Princess,” Nancy said, “I packed you a-”
A
sudden cry out from above the carriage was heard before the horses
and carriage came to sudden stop jerking Nancy and Olivia about in
the wooden box. Olivia landed in a heap while Nancy grabbed whatever
she could to keep from falling.
“Whoa,
whoa there!” one of Olivia’s guards called out. “Shit, what is
this,” he grumbled.
“What’s
going on,” Olivia called out, while getting up from the sudden
stop. She tried to look out the front of the carriage but two of her
guards were blocking the window to peek from. Heading to the door she
swung it open, “Why did we stop, is everything okay-”
Olivia
looked ahead of the carriage and not even twenty feet ahead, just
around the bend she saw a large log of a tree blocking the entire
path of the road. It was wide enough to cover from the side of the
cliff to the edge of the road, blocking the path forward for the
carriage. It would take everyone's effort to try and push it out of
the way if they wanted to continue.
“Where
did that come from,” One of her guards muttered looking at the
enormously large tree lying in their path.
Olviva
frowned, “Did… did it fall down? I don’t remember it raining
any time soon…” She said, confused.
“Princess
you should get back inside, “we’ll try and move it out of the
way.” One of her four guards told her.
Olivia
was about to do what they asked of her until she recalled something.
It had been years so it didn’t click with her but finally she
remembered her dangerous journey with Dagon, and how something
similar happened. She gasped at the one word that came to mind,
“Giantess…”
This
was a trap.
Olivia
was about to tell everyone they needed to leave but suddenly there
was a sliding sound and a mighty thump behind them. Everyone turned
around to see a young giantess blocking their retreat. She had just
come sliding down the side of the cliff, which must have been not
even a four foot drop for her. The young girl wasn’t fully grown,
as far as Olivia could tell. She looked in her young, if not mid
teens, well under Cindy and Melody’s size. However still big enough
to pose a threat unlike Ashely and her size.
“HIGHNESS
BACK INSIDE,” One of her guards yelled as he grabbed his weapons.
“To arms men!”
All
of Olivia’s guards got their weapons and in no time were guarding
the back of the carriage from the monstrous girl standing behind
them. Swords drawn and spears ready Olivia’s four guards were
prepared to lay down their lives for her. Olivia watched as the young
giantess seemed hesitant as if she didn’t want to fight. She looked
hungry and tired. They didn’t need to fight. They could work this
out.
“Wa-wait!”
Olivia called out. “Everyone wait! We don’t have to fight,”
Olivia cried out from the carriage. Olivia’s guards were shocked
and confused when she ordered them to stand down.
“Princess,
please,” Her captain begged, “It’s a giantess!”
“She’s
hungry,” Olivia told her guards in the poor girl's defense. “We
have plenty of food to give her. No one needs to get hurt or killed.”
Olivia quickly told her guards as she quickly ordered one of them to
get their supplies.
The
giantess looked confused and perplexed at what was going on. Olivia
didn’t want this child to go hungry or worse, her men hurt and
maybe even kill her. If there was anything that Olivia learned with
Cindy and Melody, is that Giantess weren’t evil-
Before
Olivia could finish that thought the young giantess bent down and
swatted one of Olivia’s guards off the cliff. The startling smack
filled the air with its sudden and hard impact. The man’s
screams were heard as he was backhand off the ground and down toward
the forest below, surely to die from the impact when he finally hit
the ground or trees below.
Olivia
gasped from the carriage door as her guards scrambled to get into
position to defend her, however their chance was gone. The crouching
giantess was already reaching for another soldier with her other hand
and snatched him up like a weed from a garden. He cried out for a
split second before the crunching and squishing sound of metal and
bones could be heard.
“SHIT!”
the captain of the now two man group yelled as he ordered his last
man to back up.
It
wasn’t fast enough as the large giantess’ foot came crashing into
the man with a mighty kick. He went flying forward and smashed into
the carriage backside. The loud sudden impact caused it to rock and
shake, sending Olivia tumbling back inside. Nancy quickly shut the
door, to offer some form of protection for Olivia.
Olivia
was still recovering when she heard the captain of her guard
demanding the giantess to leave them.
“Back
you fucking monster, get back you BEAST! I’ll cut your fucking
finger off if you even-” A startled sound was heard before the tone
of his voice changed. Olivia couldn't see anything from the carriage
back window, but she could hear as the man cried out for help and
mercy, “PLEASE NO NO I DON’T WANT TO-”
A
sickening chomping sound was heard as metal and bone was suddenly
heard being crunched and chewed.
It
was silent except for the sound of chewing and eating, till finally
she swallowed her bite.
Olivia
shuddered at the noise as she continued to hear the monster chew and
bite into her only hope for safety. The cruel Giantess was chomping
and bitting as she stood behind the carriage not leaving her spot. It
felt like forever as Olivia and Nancy huddled in the carriage
listening to that giant beast before them, eating and chewing what
was left of her men. Finally after however long it took, the enormous
feet got closer. The carriage started to shudder and shake as the
horse in front went into a panic, but couldn’t go forward or
backwards. They could only neigh and squeal as they were stuck in
place. The noises soon were cut short as the sound of snapping and
cracking of bones, metal, and wood could be heard and the carriage
suddenly stopped shaking.
“Mmm,
horse meat, it’s been a while,” The giantess laughed. “This was
a good hunt…”
The
sound of her voice boomed down from the ceiling as if she were
speaking through it to Olivia and Nancy. She was directly on
top of them. However the sound of wood snapping and metal
ripping and tearing clearly told Olivia that she was attacking the
front of the carriage where the horses were. It only took a few
moments before the sound of the front of the carriage being destroyed
filled the air as it soon grew deadly silent.
Nancy
and Olivia stayed still and quiet in the carriage hoping the Giantess
would leave them be. She sounded like she might have gotten all the
food she needed. It was noiseless and there was no sound except the
whistling of the wind.
Olivia
went to ask Nancy if the giantess was gone, but Nancy quickly shook
her head and put her finger up to her lips to keep her from making a
noise. This wasn’t the time to talk. They were still in danger.
Suddenly
there was a large knocking sound from the roof of the carriage.
Olivia would have thought it was someone stomping on top of it, but
everyone was dead. It was the young giantess tapping the roof
instead.
“Come
on out, our I'll crush you flat,” The giantess told them with an
almost delighted tone in her voice. It seemed like she was looking
forward to smashing them.
Olivia
looked toward Nancy wondering what to do. Nancy slowly nodded as they
got up slowly and opened the carriage door. Slowly they got out of
the carriage and saw the Young Giantess waiting for them. She was
still hovering over the carriage, squatting behind the carriage
guarding either side of it depending on which exit they took.
She looked fascinated and really interested in the vehicle they were
in.
“I’ve
never seen one of these before,” She said, sounding amazed. “So
you ride in it?”
The
question felt weird being asked, since she just killed Olivia’s
protection and attacked them. The childish behavior was not
something she was expecting from such a killer.
“Yes…”
Olivia responded.
The
giantess seemed to inspect it some more, “So, it’s like a cart,
but for people… cool! Okay,” She said, sounding done with
examining it. The curiosity of it was now gone and attention was on
Olivia and Nancy. “Two of you, perfect, just my luck. With another
mouth to feed I was worried, now both mom and her can eat something-”
The giantess smiled a happy and delighted grin that betrayed what was
happening.
Olivia
and Nancy were about to run when the Giantess quickly said, “If
either of you run you’re gonna end up like them,” She said,
showing off her hip, which hung the two horses she just killed.
Both were attached to her waist, lifeless like the meat they were
gonna be used as. “And him…” She pointed to the soldier
she kicked into the back of the carriage. IF Olivia thought he was
still alive before, looking at the body after the impact told her she
was dead wrong.
Olivia
shook in fear at the warning as the giantess went back to reaching
for her. Nancy tugged on her arm to try and flee, but Olivia
couldn’t. She was shocked in place as the enormous hand reached out
for them both. Sadly, Olivia’s inability to make a decision cost
them any opportunity to do anything as both Nancy and Olivia ended up
being picked up off the ground like two dolls in this young adult’s
hands.
The
hand wrapping around Olivia was nothing like when Cindy or Melody
picked her up. There was no care or sincerity to it as it wrapped
around her chest and hips. It was like a giant snake was crushing the
life out of her as she couldn't even breath when being lifted off the
ground. Just as Olivia thought she was gonna die or pass out, she was
released. Olivia collided with Nancy and suddenly the sound fabric
closing from above was heard. They were trapped in a cloth bag of
some kind.
“Time
to head back,” The giantess announced cheerfully at her big haul.
It was just before the sound of the carriage being kicked and sent
tumbling down the cliff into a billion pieces. The motions of this
horrible cruel giantess walking away swayed and smashed Olivia into
Nancy as they slid and bounced about. Both petrified women
clueless to where they were going.
All
Olivia knew was they were about to be fed to this Giantess’s mom
and someone else.
Olivia
did her best as she prayed with all her might, “Please… Dagon…
help….”
End Notes:
Again thank you for reading, and your patience for this chapter and the upcoming ones too.
Author's Notes:
Sorry.... it's been more than a while
Olivia
did everything she in her power not to scream, as she was tied upside
down by her feet and left dangling by her captive’s hip. The large
rope was tied to her ankles as she swung back and forth with each
mighty step this Giantess took. The Giantess wasn’t even attempting
to be gentle as she climbed and hurried across the frosty ground and
rocky roads, sending Olivia swinging and swaying in a disoriented
way. Olivia lost track of how many times she was thrown into the
giantess’s backside as she dangled there attached to that makeshift
belt. Olivia was like some kind of squirrel or small animal trapped
and captured, which wasn’t far from the truth. She was helpless to
the young giantess as she carried her like the helpless creature she
was to the enormous being.
Olivia
could just catch a glimpse of Nancy on the other side of the
giantess, as she too was stuck to the large girl’s hip but on the
other side. Nancy was still, just like Olivia, as she did her best
not to struggle or fight their captive. Olivia had a feeling that it
wouldn’t help if they fought this cruel Giantess. Still, Olivia
couldn’t help but feel guilty for dragging Nancy into this, all
because of her insistent need. If anything happened to Nancy, Olivia
wasn’t sure if she could live with herself….
Well,
that was assuming she made it out of this, which wasn’t looking
like it. The young Giantess was walking faster than any carriage that
Olivia had ridden in, and it only took a few moments before Olivia
lost track of where they were. The terrain was different but at the
same time similar, as the rocky ground and cold frosty snow
sprinkling the ground and soil, all looked the same. Olivia thought
of trying to reach for her binds attached to her ankles, but the
twisting and twirling around didn't help, and she wasn’t very good
with knots to begin with, so untying them with this much motion was
impossible for her.
Still,
it didn’t help that being hung upside down this long was messing
with Olivia’s vision and mind. All the blood in her body was
pooling in her head and making her brain throb as she tried to think
straight. She swore she saw Dagon chasing after her behind them, and
a tiny Dagon-sized Cindy too, but that all had to be fake as she was
seeing stars blurring her vision. The mighty throbbing in her skull
soon matched her heartbeat as she felt her mind and consciousness
fading to the incoming darkness….
“Your
Highness….” A voice called out in the distance.
Olivia
started to feel herself stirring as she started to get up but her
body protested, “Just ten more minutes…” Olivia muttered as she
tried to turn over in her bed with her blankets… but it didn’t
help as the cold air still bit into her skin. Olivia slowly came to,
upside down as she felt the chill biting her exposed skin. It took
longer for her to recognize where she was than she wanted, but slowly
it was coming back as she saw Nancy on the other side of the
Giantess’s hip. “Nancy??” Olivia muttered as she wondered if
she too passed out or if it was just Olivia.
“Your
Highness,” Nancy repeated, “Are you awake?”
“Y-yes,”
Olivia replied softly, but loud enough for Nancy to hear it.
“Good,
I was worried,” Nancy replied sounding as she said, very worried
about her.
“Worried,”
Olivia repeated as she rubbed her head with her hands.
“You
have been passed out for a while. I thought… well you're awake, so
that’s a good sign,” Nancy told her.
“Yes
yes, I’m alive,” Olivia nodded only to regret her nodding. The
painful throbbing in her head didn’t help with the shaking of her
skull. It took Olivia a long time before she recalled where they were
and what was going on. “Oh…” Olivia spoke as she glanced
upward, or downward, depending on one’s perspective, as the
Giantess continued to carry them.
Feeling
the sudden surge of panic at her situation, it took her a brief
moment of frenzy to recall that she was upside down and stuck to a
Giantess that hunted her, Nancy, and her guard. Ripping them
from her carriage. The thought of those guards that accompanied her
parashing, brought a stinging sensation to her chest. They wouldn’t
have died if it weren’t for her stupid actions. Those lives were
already taking a toll on Olivia’s soul as she couldn’t help but
weep at her personal guard dying for her silly request of going to
Brax town.
“Where
are we,” Olivia asked out loud as she tried to spot something
familiar or recognizable, but the ground was cold and void of life,
frost and some snow, covered parts of the ground. So it wasn’t like
Olivia was out long, or at least she didn’t think so. Most of the
land had looked like this during their travels and she sadly couldn’t
tell if they had gone only a few miles or over thirty.
“I
don’t know,” Nancy replied as she did her best to remain calm.
After decades of having Nancy as her maid, Olivia could just make out
the signs of fear and worry that was etched into her almost calm
words.
“It’s
okay, we’ll be fine…” Olivia lied as she tried to stay as
positive as she could.
As
upbeat and positive as Olivia tried to be it soon vanished in the
blink of an eye when she and Nancy were pulled off the Giantess’s
backside and dropped carelessly on the ground. Olivia landed with a
hard impact as she was dropped what felt like ten or more feet. Her
arms and legs felt bruised from the impact as she lay on the cold
hard ground holding back a cry of pain. Olivia rolled over to watch
the young Giantess walking off without a care in the world as she
called out, “Mom I’m back…”
The
moment the Giantess was gone, Olivia decided to try and run for it.
She tried to stand up but stumbled to quickly realize her legs were
still tied up. Olivia rolled over on her back and quickly rushed for
the binds on her legs. Digging her nails into the rope, Olivia did
her best to try and until the fabric but found it nearly impossible.
“COME ON,” Olivia hissed seeing that the teen giantess was gone
and this was her chance for escape. “Nancy, can you get free?”
Olivia whispered as she scraped and peeled at the firm fabric keeping
her legs hog-tied.
“No,”
Nancy replied coldly. One look over and Olivia could see Nancy
struggling just as hard as she was and making no progress. Holding
back a curse, Olivia went back to trying to peel each thread one by
one off so she could break free. It wasn’t going as she planned as
the rope was being much more difficult to cut through with just her
fingers and nails. Olivia looked around for some kind of sharp rock
or something to use as a blade, but the ground was bare.
It
was beyond upsetting for Olivia to find that she was helpless and
stuck. Not one to give up though, Olivia did the only thing she
could, she started to crawl and squirm away. “We…” Olivia
huffed as she wiggled forward, “Can’t,” Olivia grunted, “Stay
here…. We …. need to …. get away,” Olivia strained as she did
her best to squirm toward freedom. As much effort as she put in, it
was clear that she wasn’t making much progress. With her legs
disabled, she wasn’t able to get far with her hands and knees.
The
effort Olivia was putting in, wasn’t giving her much results, as
she was only getting a few inches a minute. This would have been
helpful if she had more time, but the sound of heavy footsteps could
be heard as they approached. Olivia closed her eyes and felt dread
and fear fill herself as she knew that sound all too well. It was an
approaching Giantess. Olivia and Nancy were done for.
“See
Mom, I got some food,” The young Giantess said proudly. “It was
so easy! Nothing like those other ones. It was like catching some
stupid deer,” She laughed, “But easier!”
Olivia
didn’t comment as the larger Giantess came closer from behind
Olivia, the sudden thumping growing louder and stronger. It wasn’t
long before she could hear the heavy breathing of the larger monster.
The mother of the young giantess was looking at both of them. Olivia
didn’t know what to do, she could only hope that Nancy was picked
first so she was left last… but deep down, she rather be the first
to go, to keep Nancy safe longer. Better Olivia went and sated
this monster's appetite than one of her best friends…
“I
see,” the older Giantess spoke sounding not pleased but at the same
time not very upset. A very neutral and causal tone to her voice.
“Your first hunt alone went well, that’s good. It wont be long
before you can move on, and be a true one of us.”
The
pride in the young Giantess was clear as she spoke, “Thanks,
Mother.”
“Now,
let’s see… Well, this one looks yummy,” the mother spoke
finally showing some emotions in her words.
Olivia
hardly had time to let out a yelp as the dangling rope tied to her
legs was being pulled and yanked upwards. Her legs were dragged off
the ground and soon her body was dangling as she was carried up
toward an enormous face. It was possibly twice the size of her
captive Gaintess’s face. The bland and causal-looking face gazetted
at her, examining Olivia with a hunger that could be felt. The facial
features on her matched similar looks of the young giantess that
captured Olivia. It was clear she was her mother. Just as Olivia was
observing her face, the older giantes gave Olivia a mighty shake
causing her to cry out in alarm from the drastic and sudden shaking.
The
giantess smirked as she grinned, “Ahh, still moving. Gooood, I like
it when they squirm inside me. Helps with the digestion,” She spoke
casually as if she wasn’t about to kill Olivia.
Olivia
couldn’t help herself as she started to wave and scream, “Wait
wait wait!”
The
giantess didn't look too affected by Olivia’s words as she just let
out a deep, “Hmm?” Olivia watched as the giantess hardly even
listened as she brought Olivia toward her now-opening mouth. The
large teeth and tongue waiting for her inside the open mouth. The hot
humid air rushed out and moistened Olivia’s face in a smelly wave
of mouth water. Out of instinct she panicky wipped away the moister
forming on her face as she approached the open mouth wanting to eat
her.
The
fear rose in Olivia as she was being brought toward that dark tunnel
of teeth and terror. She was gonna be eatten! This Giantess wasn’t
wasting any time as she was bringing Olivia to her lips. Olivia was
still shaking her head and muttering no, as she watched her doom
approach in a widde gapping hole. The older Giantess’s features
were slowly starting to burn their features into Olivia’s mind as
it was the last thing she would see. That jawline, that nose, the
chin, and those blue eyes….
Those
very deep blue eyes.
Olivia
gasped as they didn’t just remind her of Dagon’t but they were
exactly like Dagon’s! The dark blue mixed with the light blue
almost cloudy eyes, just like the sky. The same mixture and context
that Dagon and Cindy had!!
“Y-you…”
Olivia gasped as she was being lowered into the dark depths of her
impending doom into a Giantess’s stomach. Olivia nearly screamed,
“DAGON! I KNOW DAGON!!! YOUR SON!!! I KNOW DAGON YOUR SON!!!”
Olivia
felt her face stop its descent into the warm gaping maw before her.
She could feel the hot sticky slimy tongue before her. The horrible
heinous-smelling scent reeked up from the depths of this Giantess’s
gullet as she held her frozen there inches from her fate. The tip of
the large woman’s tongue wiggled and slurped over Olivia’s
forehead and face as she was positioned there for a few moments.
Finally, after the longest time in all of human history, Olivia was
slowly pulled out of the nastiest mouth she had ever been in.
“What
was that,” The giantess asked not sounding very amused. In fact,
she looked very upset. Her mood went from casual to a very pissed-off
giantess. It seemed Dagon wasn’t the word to use, but Olivia
already did.
“I,”
Olivia said gasping and spitting out the giantess saliva in her mouth
before she went on, “Dagon… I know… dating… him…”
“Dating…”
She asked, the word springing from her lips like a hot summer breeze
as it rushed over Olivia’s face. The smell was much less
pleasing than a hot summer breeze… “What is that?”
It
took Olivia a moment to realize this was a term not familiar with
Giantess. They didn’t date…
“I
uh…” Olivia didn’t know why but the first word that came to
mind that would clear this up was the most embarrassing and
humiliating as it lept out of her lips, “MATE with him!”
It
was now that a sign of amusement or enjoyment spread over the
Giantess’s face, “Oh… Dagon mates with you?”
Olivia
didn’t know if it was the heat from the giantess breath making her
feel red in the face, or the embarassment, or maybe it was the blood
rushing to her head as she hung upside down, but she was sure she was
redder than a blooming apple. The fact she just said that to anyone…
and to Dagon’s mom nonetheless, or at least she assumed it was his
mother…
A
mom that should be dead????
“You-you’re
Dagon’s mom,” Olivia asked more shocked than if her dad came out
of the woods and told her she was adopted right now. It was a blow
that hit harder than she knew as did her best not to act too reactive
in showing her hand. However, Olivia had no idea how well she was
pulling this off, as she was very shocked right now. Her mouth
was most likely wide open gaping at the sudden realization of who she
was with righ tnow. “I… I thought you were dead,” Olivia
squeaked out as she looked at the older MILF that held her still
upside down before her mouth. It looked like she was still debating
on eating her right now as she held Olivia upside down.
“Dead,”
She repeated as she slowly shrugged, “Obviously not.” Olivia
didn’t know what to say as she realized that Dagon’s mom didn’t
feel or care about talking, instead, she held Olivia just there
before her mouth, ready to toss in if she felt like it. Olivia
watched as that enormous mouth started to open wider as it went on.
“Well, Dagon’s mate or not. I’m hungry, and you’re just the
kind of meal I’ve been looking forward to.”
Olivia
felt her eyes bulge out as she was slowly being brought back toward
that horrible mouth that attempted to swallow her just moments ago.
Those enormous teeth parted wider as Olivia’s struggling hands and
upper body were being lowered down toward the spreading maw. Olivia
screamed as the back of her head touched the tongue of Dagon’s
mom’s mouth. The grasp on Olivia’s tied-up feet was starting to
lessen as things started to flatten out with Olivia on that squishy
slimy soft bed of tongue bedding. Olivia could see the back of
Dagon’s mom’s throat oepneing and tilting her and the rest of the
mouth to swallow her whole. Olivia started to cry as she realized
this was her doom! SHE WAS GONNA BE EATEN-
The
sudden startling sounds of a very young childish voice rang out
“NANA!”
The
familiar voice of Ashley calling out, shockingly loud, quickly filled
the air around everyone. Olivia was held in the mother Giantess’s
throat as Ahely called out again, “NANA!”
Olivia
could only listen to the words from inside of Dagon’s mother’s
mouth as much of the noise was already muffled by the drooling and
slobbering chamber she was stuck in. The words were gurgled and
stifled by the layer of flesh and slime as Ashely greeted Nancy. The
full name being a little to hard for the young giantess to pronounce,
so Nana was the preferred term for Nancy.
It
wasn’t long before Olivia heard the teen Giantess that kidnapped
them say, “Uh mom… I think they know each other?”
There
was a rumbling before Olivia was pulled out of the hungry gullet of
the older giantess who didn’t look very pleased, “And?”
Olivia
was gagging and coughing up the saliva she got stuck in her mouth and
on her face. It took a few moments to recover from the near-death she
experienced. “I said… I know… Dagon…” Olivia coughed.
To
Olivia’s horror, Dagon’s mom just rolled her eyes, “Like I said
before, And???”
“I…”
Olivia paused as she realized that wasn’t enough for her. Maybe she
didn’t believe her, or worse, she didn’t care. Olivia didn’t
know what to say until she heard the childish sounds that Ashley was
making. A quick glance over to Ashley and Oliviva could see how much
Ashley was hugging Nancy to death in her giant small arms. Like a
typical Giantess child, she had no idea how strong she was but the
childish cuddle told everyone that she was familiar with the one she
was squeezing like a toy teddy bear. “I’m Ashley’s stepmom,”
Olivia quickly blurted out.
Those
words didn’t seem to go well with Dagon’s mom as she gave her a
cold and unammused look. Trying not to get killed, Olivia could only
say the first thing that came to her mind, “Melody! Talk to Melody!
She’ll vouch for me, we both know each other I swear it!” It
wasn’t till those words came out that she feared that maybe this
was Melody’s time to remove Olivia from the picture. It would only
take a simple “no” for Olivia to meet her doom. But Melody
wouldn’t do that, right? Not wanting to risk the chance of Melody
wanting to remove Olivia from the board of Dagon’s love life, she
quickly thought of something that might convice this titanic woman
that she wasn’t lying. Olivia quickly waved at Ashley to get her
attention. She soon spotted Olivia and gave her a wave back as she
let Nancy go. “See,” Olivia tried to prove her point. Just, look,
take me to Ashley’s mom, we know each other!” Olivia shouted
trying not to cry as she felt like her words weren’t working for
the older Giantess. She looked to be considering if it was worth
keeping Olivia around or just swallowing her right here and now.
Each
second Olivia hung upside was nerve-racking as she could feel the
Giantess considering just eatting her. The feeling of the Giantess’s
fingers tightening on her legs as they periodically swung Olivia back
and forth didn’t help as she felt like a snack between those large
digits. However, the large Giantess slowly leaned down till she was
closer to Ashley as she held Olivia upside down toward her. “Little
one,” Dagon’s mom asked shaking Olivia by the feet, dangling
before Ashely. “Do you know this little… THING?”
Olivia
never felt more horrified in her life. It was literally all in the
palms of a child, a cute but very confused looking child glancing up
at Olivia. One wrong word would mean the end of her life. Olivia’s
entire being was about to be decided by a little kids response.
Olivia’s life with Ashley flashed before her eyes as she questioned
everything she ever said or did to upset the child. Even the
slightest mistake or wronging could lead to Olivia’s death as she
watched the little giant child ponder the question. Did Ashely know
Olivia….
Did
she know Olivia, especially at this young age?!?!
It
took a billion heartbeats for Ashley to finally speak, “Yup…
she’s daddy’s friend!”
Olivia
felt her heart sink at the word, FRIEND.
Dagon’s
mom questioned the word, “Friend?”
Ashley
continued to hold and squeeze Nancy as she spoke, “Mhmm, Daddy is
always with Owivia. She’s daddy’s bestest friend.”
Olivia
slowly opened her eyes as she looked up at Dagon’s mom who didn’t
look very impressed. Wanting to correct Ashely on her name, Olivia
opened her mouth to correct the child but felt the sudden need to be
silent as the Giantess’s eyes were set on her. It took the large
woman a long time but finally, she let out a deep sigh as she slowly
lowered Olivia before dropping her on her backside. With a huff, she
quickly called out, “Hazel!”
The
teen giantess moved closer to Dagon’s mom, “Yes?”
“You
need to go hunting again. Bring me something fresh and warm. I want
it squirming,” The older Giantess spoke as she looked very crossed.
“Yes
mother,” Hazle spoke hurring off into the dark woods.
Olivia
looked up at the older mother figure as she slowly took a seat and
let out a deep sigh. She looked very tired, and then a quick glanced
over at Olivia caused her to stiffen. Olivia wanted to say thanks
but, she had a feeling that wouldn’t help the Giantess with her
decision she made. Instead Olivia could only say, “Why?”
The
motherly Giantess leaned back into a large rock as she slowly
grunted. It took her a long while before she spoke, “Because…”
She spoke softly before saying, “ A crying child,” She slowly
nudged her head toward Ashley who was giggling and playing around
with Nancy like she was a friendly toy, “Is more annoying than
having a little tiny like yourself wandering around.”
Olivia
wanted to say something but slowly closed her mouth. That wasn’t a
compliment as much as it was an insult. However, Olivia wasn’t
about to fight Dagon’s mom on her words. Heck, she wasn’t even
sure she could argue about her views. Shit, she nearly ate Olivia a
few moments ago! What was Olivia doing sitting around with this
horrible creature before her?!
However,
as much as Olivia wanted to run, she couldn’t. Epsically with poor
Ashley nearby, and with no Melody in sight. Olivia would need to
protect the large young child from whatever horrors that were having
Melody distracted.
Which
brought the thought to her mind… Where the fuck was Melody????
“What
do you mean they were eating Giantess???” Cindy asked sounding
horrified at the news Dagon gave her.
“I
mean they were eating them!” Dagon repeated louder as he checked
the ground again finding no marks of any Giantess’s activity, just
like the past hour or so that he had been searching.
Cindy
couldn’t help it as she kept pushing Dagon, “Like… you mean-”
Dagon
let out an agervated sound at his sister who wasn’t getting it,
“LIKE THEY WERE EATING THEM! My God Cindy, I'm not making this shit
up to scare you or anything, if that’s what you’re thinking. I
literally saw the bones… they were fucking throwing Giantess’s
skin or meat or whatever out for people to eat… to EATTTT!!!
They’re fucking,” Dagon spat each letter out, “E, A, T, THEM,
Cindy. They are hunting and killing Giantess for food…” Dagon
shook his head as he looked back at Cindy, “Just like how they were
being eaten by-” The words out of his mouth were quickly shut off
as he realized what he was about to say almost sounded like he was
justifying the action the villaigers were doing.
However,
Cindy didn’t let it go as she pushed Dagon on what he was saying,
“What? What was that???”
Dagon
shook his head, “Nothing, sorry never mind. We need to get moving-”
Cindy
slammed her foot before Dagon as she let out a rude sound, “NO…
you were saying something. Now what was it? Go on say it. What was it
you were gonna say?!”
Daogn
had never seen Cindy so upset but it was something he wasn’t
shocked to see. Instead, he glanced up at her and crossed his arms.
After a long few minutes of a stare down, Dagon finally said, “What
do you want me to say? They are eating Giantess! Just like how all
the Giantess are eating them! They all deserve this fucked up circle
of killing each other. They should both eat each other till they are
all gone! I don’t know what else to say other than to leave them
alone and let this play out the way they want. I just,” Dagon
quickly huffed as he let his emotions calm down. “I just want to
bring them home, both Ashley and Melody. They don’t need to be out
here, not with these people and all this danger around here.”
Cindy
didn’t say anything as they went on walking. It took her a few
moments before she muttered softly, “We’re not all like that.”
Dagon almost missed it, as large and loud Cindy could be, she could
be extremely quite when she wanted to.
Dagon
paused as he looked up at his little sister, “Cindy, you can’t
think I meant you.”
“Well,”
Cindy said still upset, “You said ALL the Giantess…”
Dagon
didn’t know if his sister was teasing him or being serrious right
now, “Cindy… you don’t eat people. Or are you telling me you
been sneaking off at night to chow down on some poor people you come
across?”
Cindy
looked sick at the thought, “NO!”
Dagon
snorted, “Then it’s obvious I wasn’t talking about you. Did you
think I meant you? Or what about Ashley and Melody? Did you think I
included them? That I would want to see them dead?”
It
was now that Cindy gave Dagon a look like he was being a jerk, “Well,
not now, duh.”
Dagon
shook his head at his little sister, “I swear, to have you as my
sister is more of a pain than getting stepped on, and I’ve been
stepped on many times by your freakishly large feet, so like that’s
say something.”
Cindy
let out a half laugh and gasp as she glared at him with
embarrassment, “You little! My feet aren’t that big!’
“Are
you kidding,” Dagon laughed, “LOOK AT THEM! How Nancy can
tolerate them is a mystery I will never be able to solve, that’s
for sure.”
Cindy
blushed red as she lifted her foot and started to try and stomp on or
at least knock Dagon down. He was easily able to dance out of the
way, “I’ll show you how painful it can be when I step on you,”
Cindy remarked as she tried to trample her brother under one of her
feet.
“Okay
okay, truce,” Dagon laughed as he felt like they were getting
distracted.
Cindy
paused for a moment, giving Dagon a moment to collect himself.
Thinking it was over, Dagon turne daround. However he was
suddenly hit with a boop in the back of his body as Cindy slammed her
toes right into him, sending Dagon sprawling into the snow. Cindy
snickered, “Oops, my fault. Sorry didn’t see you there with my
BIG feet in the way.”
Dagon
wasn’t as upset as most people would be after being kicked into a
snow drift by their humongous sister, but he couldn’t help but feel
like maybe they were goofing off a bit too much. “Okay okay, are
you done? I mean it’s not like were in a canablistic territory with
people hunting for Giantess, and let’s not forget that there are
Giantess hunting people. Especially with my daughter and her mother
out there.”
“Hey
you started it,” Cindy laughed. “Don’t start nothing, if you
can’t finish it.”
Dagon
didn’t comment as he got up and brushed himself off. It wasn’t
worth fighting his sister over this as it seemed she was in a better
mood already. Something that he was happy to see. Dagon slowly got up
from his landing on in the snow pile and started to look around.
There
was something that caught his eye, a certain pattern of flattened
ground to a point. Heading over to the area, he quickly knelt down
and looked over the smashed dead grass and noticed how large the area
was. However, it was the soft gentle patch next to it, of a smaller
footprint that let Dagon know what he was looking at. A Giantess and
a young Giantess heading in the same direction. Dagon wasn’t sure
if this was Melody and Ashley but he had a feeling that it could lead
to something that they needed to follow. “This way,” Dagon told
Cindy as he pointed the direction of the pathway.
Cindy
paused her childish activities as she looked down the long distant
path that Dagon pointed to, “You sure?”
“No…
but I’m sure there aren’t that many Giantess with kids around
Ashley's age and size. If it’s not them, maybe they saw where they
went. It’s better than stumbling around for other clues.” Dagon
looked at his sister as he gave her a stern look, “We have to at
least start somewhere…”
Giving
him a nod Cindy bent down and picked up Dagon and carried him up to a
more manageable height. Cindy picked up her pace as she hurried after
the footsteps and the trail Dagon pointed out. Dagon didn’t say
anything as Cindy ran or jogged faster than he could sprint. It was
something that made him glad that she came along. That and the
company, Cindy always seemed to keep him calm or distracted at the
right times when Dagon really needed it. Looking past Cindy’s large
fingers, he kept his eyes on the ground and helped direct Cindy
toward the direction of the footprints were heading.
Things
were going well, that was until the unthinkable happened. The
footprints split. The smaller ones trailed off in another direction
as the larger ones headed in another direction. Dagon had to tell
Cindy to stop suddenly as he noticed the parting of ways. It was
clear they split apart.
Dagon
cursed under his breath as he watched the pair of footmarks head in
one direction while the other went off toward who knew where. Dagon
grumbled as Cindy lowered him down, “Shit…” Dagon grumbled as
he stood there wondering where to go. He started to doubt himself,
there was no way Melody would have left Ashley, at least he hoped
that was true. This had to be another set of footsteps, right?
“What’s
wrong,” Cindy asked trying to poke Dagon’s mind.
“They
split up… why would she leave her,” Dagon spoke just loud enough
for Cindy to hear. “This doesn’t make sense, maybe I missed
something back there,” Dagon said starting to head back from the
split.
“Dagon,
we don’t have time for this…” Cindy expressed her worry, as she
seemed just as concerned as he was.
Dagon
couldn’t help but glare up at his sister wanting to snap at her for
reminding him how important this was. However, he bit his tongue as
he fought the troubling urge to say something mean. “What if it’s
not them,” Dagon told Cindy his fear.
Cindy
scoffed and rolled her eyes, “All the more reason to hurry up and
find out now! Jeez big bro I swear sometimes you act so stupid at the
worst times.”
Dagon
groaned as he shook his head at his sister’s very direct approach.
He wanted to yell at Cindy or to at least take his anger out in some
way, but his increasing worry about his daughter’s being, way out
here by herself filled his mind. His increasing need to find Ashley
was at the forefront of his mind, “Fine fine, come on big feet
let’s go this way.”
Cindy
gasped, “BIG FEET?!”
“YES,”
Dagon laughed as he pointed at those kickers that nearly killed him
from knocking him over not even an hour ago, “BIG,” Dagon said
jerking his hand back and forth between his sister’s bare feet,
“FEET!” Cindy started to lift her foot up to attempt a stomp on
Dagon in her anger, but Dagon quickly sprung his lost child on Cindy
before she could attack, “You’re wasting time, your niece is out
there all alone and you're busy trying to step on me…”
Cindy
narrowed her eyes on Dagon before slowly lowering her hand to let him
back on, “Ooooh you’re so freaking lucky I care more about her
than you.”
Dagon
chuckled at his sister's remark.
As
much as they bickered and fought it was their way of hiding and
distracting each other’s emotions from the moment. Dagon was sure
he would have spent ten or even twenty minutes trying to debate which
set of footprints to go after. He still wasn’t sure if he should be
following after the very possible Ashley or Melody markings he found.
However, Ashley came first, obviously, but what would be the reason
to split up with their child?
Things
got a little more confusing, as Dagon noticed extra footprints
joining the smaller one, “Look… she met up with more Giantess,”
Daogn pointed out.
“Melody’s
family?” Cindy offered.
Dagon
wasn’t sure, Melody never mentioned much of her family and there
wasn’t a large set of footprints, just two. “Maybe…” Dagon
muttered thinking about it. Maybe he should go after the other set of
tracks. If it was Melody then he could find out what was going on,
but if these tracks did lead to Ashley, there would be no way Dagon
would forgive himself for leaving his daughter when she needed him.
“Shit…
okay let's keep going. Worse case, this isn’t them…” Dagon said
not so sure at the moment. He wanted to keep his hopes up that Melody
wouldn’t have split off from Ashley, but in the worst case, what if
she had to do it? What would have made her make that decision? Dagon
shut out his worry as he closed his heart off to the thought and
grounded himself down to the facts and what needed to be done. He
needed to follow this trail and see what was at the end of it. “If
you can,” Dagon told Cindy as he did his best to keep his nerves
and worry down, “Can you go faster?”
Cindy
let out a snort, “Faster… you haven’t even seen fast yet.”
Cindy went from Mach One to Mach Four as she sprinted forward faster
than Dagon was expecting. Dagon held on as the wind ripped past him
just as Cindy broke the speed barrier as they dashed through the
gnarly-looking woods and after what Dagon hoped was his little giant
daughter…
Olivia
sat next to the fire, as she and Nancy were still tied up. Her
bindings were wrapped around her hands and feet, keeping her
immobilized. However as bad as it was that they were restrained they
didn’t seem to have to worry about being eaten, as both Hazel and
her mother didn’t seem to be in the mood to consume them
specifically. Instead,they were spared from such a horrible fate. The
only issue that Olivia had, was where Ashley was right now. Dagon’s
mom led her away with words that Olivia couldn’t make out but the
way they walked off it almost seemed like they were very close,
almost like family. As much as Olivia wanted to keep Ashley around,
she had to first think about how to get herself and Nancy free. They
were stuck at this campsite and were still strung up like two
packages of meat waiting to be devoured.
“Nancy,”
Olivia whispered just loud enough for her to hear. “Can you get
free?”
“Sorry
your highness, I can’t,” Nancy said sadly.
“Dang
it,” Olivia muttered as she tried to struggle to get free while the
Giantess’s were all distracted and away. “Why is it I never have
something sharp on me when I need it,” Olivia grumbled as she
sighed in defeat. She was strung up and now hopelessly trapped till-
There
was a sudden impact as something large and quick slid up against
her. The large object grabbed Olivia and held her tight.
Olivia
turned and saw the last person she ever thought would be there for
her, Dagon.
Olivia
felt her heart racing and her eyes widened as her mouth opened up to
call out his name-
Dagon
gave her a harsh and startling “SHH,” with his finger pushed
toward her lips as he glanced around frantically.
Olivia
didn’t say anything as Dagon continued to look around drastically.
When his attention came back to Olivia he mouthed out, “WHAT ARE
YOU DOING HERE?!” Olivia couldn’t help but feel horrible as it
seemed she had only set Dagon up for more problems with her need to
be here.
So
Olivia weakly mouthed her answer, “Helping?”
The
look on Dagon’s face made Olivia’s heart drop and she could see
the troubled and annoyed look on his face. Just as Olivia was gonna
apologized, Dagon gave Olivia a smirk with a loving smile, something
that made her heart melt. Dagon quickly shook his head and mouthed,
“Of course you are… stay still.”
Olivia
couldn’t move even if she wanted to, but just like Dagon asked, she
stayed still. Dagon flipped out a dagger quicker than she could blink
and was slicing the ropes from her arms and legs. Dagon was done
cutting Olivia free in a fraction of a second and she was all over
Dagon. She quickly hugged him and felt safer than ever before. Not
even the carriage ride was as safe as she was in Dagon’s arms. As
Olivia pulled away, the look on Dagon’s face melted her resolve as
she could tell he wanted to do more than just hug. However, Dagon
blinked a few times before pulling away to continue what he came here
for.
Feeling
a little confused at his actions, it wasn't till Dagon whispered,
“I’ll get Nancy, go that way, Cindy is waiting…” Olivia felt
so ashamed that she forgot about everyone and everything going on.
The thought of what she wanted to happen between the two of them made
Olivia want to bash her head against a rock as she literally forgot
about her best friend and maid tied up helplessly beside her.
“Okay,”
Olivia whispered in the most quiet voice she could as she shuffled
off toward a dark set of woods-
WAIT
What
was she doing??
Olivia
paused midway, she swore she could see a faint outline of Cindy
looking bewildered at her actions as she froze. However, Olivia
needed to tell Dagon something important. She quickly spun around and
hurried toward Dagon who was busy slicing Nancy free.
“Dagon,”
Olivia spoke quietly as she got closer.
Dagon
spun around and looked bewildered, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” Dagon
mouthed loudly.
“You
don’t understand,” Olivia said as quietly but as loudly as she
dared. “Ashley is here.”
Dagon
froze at the news as he quickly looked around for his daughter.
Olivia wanted to say something else but Dagon wasn’t paying
attention.
“Also,”
Olivia spoke as she got closer, “You need to know that your M-”
The
sound of footsteps approaching could be heard. Dagon was quicker than
Olivia could speak as he snached both Olivia and Nancy’s arms and
tore them away from their position. Dagon was quicker than Olivia
thought was humanly possible as she was practically dragged them
across the ground. Her feet could hardly keep up as Dagon fleed
toward the edge of the Giantess’s camp. Nancy and Olivia could
hardly keep up as he never let go and made them practically sprint,
unless they be dragged across the ground like a knapsack.
Olivia
and Nancy were pulled into the dark depths of the deserted forest,
the night helping cover their escape. Olivia felt Nancy vanish in an
instant before the sound of soft smooching and kissing was heard
nearby.
Cindy’s
silent cries were heard as she kept repeating, “Oh God safe, oh God
your safe…”
Just
as Olivia felt left out she felt Dagon pulling her closer as he gave
her the love and attention she desired as he held her safely and
close in his arms. His warm strong embrass kept her from crying when
all that happened finally hit her. The danger and lose she
experienced and the possible death she encountered racing through her
mind. Olivia opened her mouth to say something but Dagon gave her a
gentle and loving kiss in the dark. “You're safe… we got
you...it’s all okay now…”
Olivia
crumbled at those protective words, and the way he held her close to
him, she melted like chocolate out in the sun. She couldn’t help
but lean into that lean body as she felt so helpless not being with
him. Dagon was her rock that she needed, and him saving her was
something she never thought would happen suddenly hit her. She could
have sworn his mom would have eaten her-
His
mom…
It
was a struggle but Olivia pulled back from the confused-looking
Dagon. “Dagon, we need to talk, it’s about-”
The
sound of Hazel approaching could be heard as she called out, “Hey
mom I-” She stopped talking as she spotted Olivia and Nancy’s
bonds cut and discarded to the side. “How the-” Hazel gasped as
she quickly looked around. “Shit, Mom, they got out! They ran
away,” Hazel shouted as she rushed toward the cut ropes lying empty
on the ground.
As
Hazel was looking at the ropes, Dagon tugged on Olivia’s arm as he
tried to pull her away from the camp. “Come on, let’s get out of
here before she tries to track us,” Dagon whispered.
“Wait
Dagon,” Olivia protested trying to get him to listen. He seemed to
be in his own little world, as he tugged on her arm. Olivia let out
another protest as she dug her feet into the hard ground fighting
him, “Dagon, wait-”
The
sudden familiar voice of Ashley calling out caused Dagon to freeze in
his tracks. His daughter quickly asked with a confused tone, “Where
did they go?”
Dagon
quickly spun around and in the darkness, Oliiva could see the
startled look on his face. Olivia spoke softly, “That’s what I
was trying to tell you. Ashley is with them. They are-”
Before
Olivia could even finish Dagon let go of her hand and quickly called
out to his sister, “CINDY!”
One
moment Olivia was there in the darkness with Dagon, and out of
nowhere, Nancy was set down by her, just as a giant shadow flew by
with Dagon dashing after her. They were gone in a matter of seconds.
There was the sound of the heavy footsteps of a giantess causing
Olivia to spin around and watch as Cindy was barreling into the camp
and heading straight for Hazel with a startling speed for someone her
large size. There was nothing for Olivia to do but to watch as Cindy
gave Hazel no time to prepare as she was caught off guard. With her
shoulder down and in place, Cindy slammed into Hazel with so much
force, that she was sent flying through the air and onto the ground
with a massive thump. Olivia would have sworn that impact could have
knocked down one of Hagger towns walls. Yet, Cindy didn’t let up as
she proceeded to pin and keep Hazle away from Dagon and Ashley,
holding her ground as Hazel let out her own cursing and protesting at
the slightly larger Cindy on top of her pinning her down. Dagon was
doing everything he could to try and cox Ashley to follow him.
“Come
on, Ashley! This way! Come, catch Daddy!” Dagon shouted as he
frantically jumped and moved around to attract her attention,
something that was working for him as Ashley followed him like a
puppy ready to play. Ashley was soon hurrying after Dagon as a child
would race after a parent wanting a warm hug hello.
“DADDY!!!!”
Ashley hurried after Dagon, as he led Ashley toward Olivia and Nancy
into the darkness out of the camp.
Olivia
didn’t know what to do. Did she try and stop Dagon and Cindy from
fighting with Hazel? Or was escaping the best option for them all? It
wasn’t like this was a very welcoming place for Olivia and Nancy,
yet wasn’t this their family? Olivia had so many questions and so
little time to ask them. She opened her mouth to try and say
something to Dagon as he rushed toward her, however something caught
her eyes.
“LOOK
OUT!” Olivia shouted as she pointed upward.
Dagon
had a brief moment to glance behind him before skidding to a halt as
a gigantic tree trunk came smashing down and slamming into the base
of the trees before Olivia. The enormous log blocked off any view as
laid before her and a couple of trees, blocking it off from rolling
over her and Nancy.
“Dagon,”
Olivia called out. “Dagon are you okay,” Olivia tried to hurry
toward one of the sides of the trees, but Nancy was there to stop
her.
“Princess,
please… it’s dangerous, I can’t let you get involved,” Nancy
said sourly as it seemed to hurt her as much as it did Olivia that
she would say that.
“We’re
the only ones that know who they are to each other,” Olivia
objected. “Cindy and Dagon are fighting their own family and they
don’t even know it! What if they or the others hurt each other? I
can’t-”
Nancy
seemed to fold as she understood and quickly nodded, “I’ll help
you over, it’ll be quicker.”
Thank
you,” Olivia said as they rushed to the giant tree trunk. Olivia,
with Nancy’s help, was able to climb over the top of the enormous
wooden blockade in the way. The moment she was on top of the tree,
she took a moment to assess the situation.
It
was pure chaos as a lot had changed for the brief moment that Olivia
was cut out from the ongoing mess. Olivia spotted Ashley crying and
standing there as it seemed she was freaked out from the enormous
tree that nearly hit her. The fight must have set off her tantrum,
however, that was the least of Olivia’s worries as things only got
worse from there. She glanced over to see Cindy now pinned on the
ground with Hazel on top, her hands trying to grab Cindy’s throat.
Dagon was racing toward Hazel, he already pulled out his daggers and
it looked like he was going to murder Hazel the moment he got to her.
Something that Olivia had no doubt would happen. The only thing
keeping Hazel safe from Dagon, was their mother outside the campfire
light, tossing random objects at him. Dagon was ducking and sliding
and jumping out of the way, slowly but surely making his way toward
Hazel who had her back to him, totally unaware of the danger coming
for her.
Olivia
couldn’t let this go on. Olivia took a deep breath till her lungs
hurt and quickly cupped her hands over her mouth and shouted as loud
as her throat let her as she screamed till her voice broke, “YOU’RE
ALL FAMILY!!!!!!!!”
Everyone
seemed to pause and turn toward Olivia as she coughed and gasped
after expelling every speck of air from her lungs. She was panting
and rubbing her sore throat as Cindy and Hazel looked at each other.
It wasn’t till their eyes locked in on each other and the look of
recognition kicked in.
“Wh-”
Cindy spoke as Hazel looked equally confused. Slowly she slid off of
Cindy as she kept examining her recently discovered sister. “But…
how…” Cindy asked looking just as puzzled as Dagon was as he
approached.
Slowly
but surely another Giantess walked out of the dark and into the
light.
Olivia
watched with some sense of joy, or hope, that the long distant family
that rejoined together could try and mend or be one together after so
long. However, Dagon and Cindy’s mom broke that with a very
disgruntle tone as she looked right at Dagon and said, “Oh… it’s
you…”
Olivia
was shocked at how heartless and uncaring their mother was toward
seeing her children after so long. Especially if they thought she had
been dead the past fifteen or so years! There didn’t seem to be any
joy or happiness in her voice as she dropped the boulder in one hand
on the ground as she headed toward the fire to warm up.
Cindy
looked shocked, as if she was seeing a ghost of some kind. However,
Dagon had his own emotional reaction. It was one of disgust and hate,
“Well fucking hell,” he said which Olivia could hardly hear from
so far away. Dagon didn’t even sheet his blades as he went on,
“Aren’t you supposed to be dead already?”
Olivia
watched as Dagon’s mom finally gave a smile, a cold and cruel one
as she replied, “I could say the same thing about you, human…”
This
was obviously not how Olivia thought any of this would have gone. The
bad blood between family seemed to be deeper and much colder than she
originally thought. It was now that she regretted that maybe she
should have let Dagon save her and Nancy and left without starting
this drama. Because as cold as the night air was with the warmth of
the fire going, the tension between all of Dagon’s family was much
much colder….
