Chapter 24
A few hours later
Dropping in the chair I cross my legs stretching them out in front of me while watching Dani.
She giggles cuddling up to Donna playing with one of her fidget toys making it click "these are neat, where'd you get them?" She asks looking at her.
"Nova" Donna whispers.
Seeing her looking at me I shrug smirking "bought them, had to have Duke track them down but it's been helping Donna stop chewing herself up" I answer lifting my hand wiggling my fingers.
Dani turns looking at her hands seeing her nails have started growing back "their painted" she says giggling.
"Excuse me" I hear Bela say standing by me.
"Yes?" I ask.
"Did the Black God choose to bless you as well?" She asks.
Frowning I rub my head looking down "Bela, I'm older then Miranda and Eva" I finally say.
"Bela dear, she is the Black God, she's who blessed Eva and I"
"Did you show up for our blessings?" She asks.
Looking at her I freeze up not sure how to answer her "she was with you in spirit form to decide if you were worthy of her gift" Miranda adds.
Sighing I rub my face not speaking on her comment, I clearly gave someone insane this curse and I'm slightly worried she could have been someone dangerous if Eva hadn't survived. Top that off with her charisma, charm, and beauty I'm certain she would have been completely different than how she is.
I haven't been around the rest enough to get a feeling of their mindset, but I can tell if Miranda wasn't how she is Donna and Angie could have suffered worse then they have already.
"You like me right?" Dani asks suddenly catching my attention.
Looking at her I tilt my head "I don't understand the question I'm sorry, could you make it clearer" I respond.
She pouts look down as I ignore the others glaring at me while Donna looks worried "well you looked for and helped me then got me this warm blanket, so you like me right?"
"I don't know you very well, but you seem like a lovely and intelligent young lady, I do look forward to hopefully getting to know you and your sisters more" I say slightly confused at her question.
Seeing her nod pouting with Donna hugging her I look at Alcina "so what's the damage and how large?" I ask finally.
Two days later
Standing at a wall in the flooded basement I huff feeling it to see if I can open it for now to drain the water "it's nothing to bad, just a slight flooding" I mock Alcina before scoffing.
"Slight for us, those humans here would end up swimming around in places" I mutter before hearing water slush around.
Frowning I freeze up looking around, seeing nothing out of place I turn back only to hear it again with more sources "I swear, if she's got some kind of sea creature in here" I mutter.
Hearing a groan I stand unmoving "no more then six please, anymore in a group and they get a little confident" I mutter trying to count the movement I hear.
"Seven" I mutter carefully moving for the exit only to have a sword catch the wall in front of me "oh Scylla" I mutter looking at the group surrounding me.
Ducking one trying to grab me I grab her arm twisting as I move ripping it off taking the sword "alright you want to try it, I'll take plenty of you bitches with me before you get me down" I snap seeing more coming up.
Glancing around I see an opening in the wall letting the cold air in, taking a breath I get more distance before charging at it throwing my entire weight against it.
Grunting I shake it off making a circle of the area before going again, after another try I tumble out and quickly get up looking at the things coming after me.
Knocking one back I catch another with the sword taking her head off, seeing her body turn to a crystal like object I shake my head focusing on the fight "I've never seen any do that when being killed" I mutter going for their heads each time.
Jumping back from one coming out of nowhere I trip over a crystal leftover "oh shit, you have actual intelligence" I mutter rolling away from her sword.
Jumping up I grab a second sword using both to block her attack "I really wish I new you're intelligence level, are you just highly active or is there actually human thoughts in your mind" I say trying to see any response from her to show she understood me.
After a few more tries I give up on it and start fighting her instead of blocking, kicking her back I quickly take her head off and huff shaking my head.
Turning I make my way back to the castle door letting myself in being met by Cassandra, seeing her smirk I huff glaring at her "I warning about them would have been useful" I grunt.
"Mother will be upset you killed her moroaică" she taunts.
"Little girl, I will put you to work with the maids or myself if you keep testing me" I growl.
"Mother, the outsider killed the moroaică" she calls.
"I busted out the basement wall too" I add seeing her shock at my part.
Looking at Cassandra I toss the swords to her feet before stalking past "just for this, you can expect your area being done last and I won't be letting you pick any of my weapons for your collection" I call back.
"What?" She demands.
"I'm starting with Dani first and she can have first choice of weapons and other things I'm willing to let go of"
"That's not fair" she screams swarming in front of me.
"You act like a spoiled brat and try to challenge me then you can face the consequences of the situation" I snap.
Stalking on I head to my room and see Donna sat on the bed nervously "I'm jumping in the bath but before I do is something wrong?" I ask.
She shakes her head before glancing at me "Alcina wants us to join her for tea to discuss payments".
"Fine I'll make a list and we can go after my bath" I mutter.
Donna nods grabbing my pen and paper following me to the bathroom, I raise my brow seeing her sit on a stool with her back to me looking out into the bed room "supplies right?" She ask.
"Yes she needs to cover the supplies" I answer.
"How come we didn't have to?" Angie demands appearing on the tub edge.
"Because you two took me in, and you're my girls so I'm supposed to take care of you, and do not start being a brat Bridezilla because I have reached my limit for today"
"Cassandra?" She asks.
"Yes, took me to the basement after being told to tell me everything I needed to know about it and big shock, she failed to mention the moroaică in there" I answer before slipping underneath the water.
Coming up I sigh pushing my hair back from my face "I'm going to end up fighting with that girl if she continues to mess with me" I mutter.
Looking at Donna I sigh again "Donna, I literally lose my human form in water you can look at me and not see me naked" I say.
She slowly peeks at me before turning around tilting her head "how come you look different than the stories?" She ask slowly moving closer.
"I don't know, maybe because you're technically not human anymore so your mind opens more" I answer shrugging.
"Can I?" She asks pointing to one of my tentacles.
Moving it over her hand I hear her laugh turning her hand before it to look at the underside "it's kind of slimy" she says while poking a suction cup.
Humming I tap her nose with it hearing her laugh more "is it uncomfortable being human so much?" She asks.
"It's not comfortable but I've done it so long I don't notice it anymore, all the moisture in the air here let's me hold this form longer and keeps it more comfortable" I respond.
