On strange trails

Chapter 5: Transsexual Transylvania

Cora woke up from loud shouting and screaming. She jerked up from the sofa and ran outside. "Hey is somebody there?", she shouted afraid. But nobody answered. She ran downstairs only to find Magenta running outside. "Magenta! Wait!", Cora yelled. Magenta turned around. "Oh Cora dear it's you!", she said a little relieved. "Well Rocky ran off and we're desperately trying to find him.", she explained.

"Oh I understand. I can help", Cora offered. "That'd be great.", Magenta smiled. Cora forgot that she was only wearing her underwear and ran outside. "Cora wait, it's bloody cold, you'll freeze to death!", Magenta called after her. She quickly went into another room and pulled out a long, black furry coat.

"Here take this on", Magenta said and handed it to her. Cora nodded smiling and put it on. It was very comfortable and looked expensive. "It's the master's", she then said as she noticed Cora's reaction.

Cora smiled and ran outside. She saw Riff Raff, Columbia and Frank running around the courtyard, calling for Rocky. Frank seemed to be the only one worried about Rocky.

"ROCKY!", Cora then started to yell to. She ran behind the castle and called again. "ROCKY!". She ran further until she heard little cries coming out of a dark corner. She went there slowly. "Rocky?", she asked quietly.

She than noticed Rocky sitting in the corner. He was hurt and had blood all over his arms. "Oh poor boy!", she said and came closer to him. "Don't be afraid, it's me", she said calm and softly stroke his cheek. "Come one let's go back. I'm sure Frank can help you.", she said and helped him getting up. They walked back to the front yard together.

Frank screamed relieved when he saw them. "Oh Rocky!", he shouted and quickly approached them. "Oh baaaaby!", he said and hugged his creation. He than casted a grateful look at Cora, who replied with a smile. "Thank god you're okay.", Frank said to Rocky. "Now let's go inside and clean you up.", he said and they went inside the castle again.

Frank and Rocky disappeared into the Lab and Cora waited outside with Magenta. "Can I ask you something, Magenta?", Cora asked the woman next to her. "Of course dear. Go on", she said friendly. "What is this place? I mean I'm not complaining or something but I'm really wondering where I got myself into.", she asked.

"Well we don't know different. I'm sure you earthlings have a different culture than we do-", she quickly cut herself off and covered her mouth. "Earthlings?", Cora asked giggling a bit. "Uhm well uhm. Yeah...?", Magenta didn't sound confident anymore. The constant smirk on her face disappeared completely.

Cora than understood what Magenta meant by that and that she wasn't joking. "You mean you are.....aliens?", Cora asked unbelievingly. Magenta gave up. She knew it wouldn't make sense to hide the fact anymore. And Frank was also aware of that. He knew that Cora would find out sooner or later.

"Yes we are. From the planet Transsexual in the Galaxie of Transylvania to be specific.", Magenta explained, curious about how Cora would react. "Well this explains a lot!", Cora said sounding almost relieved. Magenta was confused.

"Cora my dear. If I heard it right, you sound relieved! Doesn't the fact scare you?", the wild haired female asked. "No not at all. And it's indeed relieving. It would've been much scarier if you were humans. That would mean I'd be in a house with insane people but it's only a difference culture! And I really want to get to know it.", Cora said.

"Well you see Cora. Yes indeed it is a different culture than you know but it's not fully Transylvanian. It's natural for Transylvanians to have a high self confidence and to wear/do whatever they want. But a lot you see here has human influence. I don't want to confuse you. I just want to make you aware of the fact that there are human people out there who do the exact same thing that we do. And those humans get hurt and are not accepted by society or people like your parents. Please keep that in mind.", Magenta told her with a serious look. Cora nodded.

"I'm aware of that. And I hate society for this. As I also told Frank earlier: let the people be who they feel like being.". Just as she said that, Frank came out of the lab with a tired look on his face. He smiled to the ladies and made his way to his bedroom.

"Goodnight you two. I'd love to still spend some time with you but I'm barely able to stand. I wish you a good night.", Frank said and disappeared into his bedroom.
