I woke in my bed, not remembering how I got there. Then in a rush, it came back to me. After delivering the most satisfying, intense orgasm of my life, Xorn had cleaned me as I slept, and tucked me into bed. I recalled waking briefly as he laid me down so tenderly, something so unfamiliar coming from a monster such as he. In a haste, the memories of my bad luck returned to me as well. I remembered my co-workers, well ex co-workers now I guess, belittling me, deeming me a witch with false proofs. What would I do now? Where would I go? I had no one. The only relative I had known my whole life was dead, and even she was too paranoid to ever travel, afraid of all the monsters looming. "What would you think of your daughter, now, mother? Associating with beasts, or more specifically one beast?"

How sad it was that the beast had treated me better than anyone, other than my mother, every had. While everyone tantalized and ostracized me, he cared and looked out for me. Speaking of the male, he was nowhere to be found. I got up, put on my clothes, and began looking for him. "Xorn? Are you here?" No answer. I made my way around my small two-bedroom house, looking through the bathroom, kitchen, and sitting room. It made no sense really. What use would he have in those rooms? Giving up, and feeling exasperated, I dropped myself to the couch. "Guess the male left me, too. Everyone does."

Giving up hope, I sat there, trying to wipe everything from my mind. As my negative thoughts continued, in burst the monster in question? Before I could mutter a word, I hear him say, "We must go, Maggie!" What did he mean we had to go? There was nowhere for me to go. "Go? Go where and why? I do not want to leave my home. I do not feel up for a field trip today, Bull-boy." He pulled me from my seated position and quickly threw me over his shoulder. "This is not the time for your stubbornness, woman! The humans and monsters are on their way. The humans wish to sacrifice you to the beasts, and the beasts wish to learn how I solidified during the day once they heard the humans ranting and raving. Now pack a light bag! We must leave at once!", he stated firmly as he tossed me to the bed.

I packed as quickly as possible, only selecting a few change of clothes for our trip. I had no idea where we were going and Xorn was not offering any details. He just continued to rush me, throwing me over his shoulder once more, and bolting from the house. I do not know how we fled the beasts or the humans, as I felt and heard both groups just as we were making our escape. I listened as they tore through my house, ruining the one thing I had left of my mother, and I softly cried into the beasts back. To make matters worse, I heard them shout, "Find her!! We must get rid of her! She is a danger to us all alive!"

They did not just want me gone. They wanted me dead. The monsters must having been planning something as well because Xorn was tense and Xorn was never tense. Still, even when he was anxious himself, he did his best to try and calm me. Rubbing my back with one hand, and my ass with his tail, he whispered tranquil words to me in an old-sounding language I did not understand. I was too tired to even ask. We travel for what felt like forever, passing through abandoned, desolated cities and small towns. Buildings left crumbled, cars parked in the middle of the street, doors wide open- it was all creepy, but just another tell-tale sign of the monster situation.

"Are we almost to our destination, Xorn? Where exactly are we going anyway?" He stopped, placed me on my feet. I was grateful. I needed to stretch my limbs, and though his body was delectable and comfortable, my head was hurting from being turn upside-down for so long. "We are not far now, female. We should arrive shortly. We will hide-out at an old friend's house until I can think of a proper solution to our little problem."

I quickly closed my mouth before I let my next thought slip, that this was in fact, his problem, not ours. He was the one that bothered me, making me appear like a crazy person speaking with ghosts. He could have let me be and I might have been fine. But then I remembered how everyone had always left me out, barely spoke to me, and how, asshole Carl, had always picked with me. They wanted this to happen. Maybe I had stayed to myself too much, maybe it was because I would not give most of them, being men, the time of day, but I would never really know.

I could not blame him for me being an outsider. That was all on me, especially since I could have tried harder to fit in if I had wanted to do it. Regret with that aspect of things could not be found. I did not wish to be a carbon copy of everyone, sticking to a strict routine. I was crazy, but I liked being unique, unlike the followers, who let others think and speak for them. And yeah, maybe Xorn was a monster, but I did enjoy his company. He brought me more happiness, at least sexually anyway, than anyone ever had before. Plus, he could have easily killed me, but he did not. That alone gave him more points in my book. Screw Carl and his clique of goonies.

I felt freer than ever before. I never realized how much staying in that town had closed me in, trapping me in a box. Though we were technically on the run from a bunch of looney humans and blood-thirsty, evil monsters, I was at peace in the first time in forever. It was all because of Xorn, and I had the perfect idea on how to thank him in mind. Now, I just had to find the opportunity to accomplish my goal. Jumping on his back and kissing his cheek, I resumed my process of pleasant thoughts as we continued our journey.
