Scales of Imprisonment

Forget cursed dragon it's cursed blood!

So hi yep me Heather I'm 21 now while Rose is 22 and Violet 23. I've had fucking 5 litters of over a dozen eggs then this last one my 6 pregnancy I had twins. Both females. This surprised everyone. My litters mainly consisted of males. Like for every female there was like 7 males. I don't know if my math is right so don't think of it as facts. And I could tell even before they were born that they took after me. Not only were my mates extra clingy but so were ALL of my kids.

"Mom! Get them off us! Please!" My daughter yells.

"Mom them or you. Choose." My eldest son says.

"Let them go and you can't cling to me either. I'm taking the chosen ones out for training." I say. They all let go and my 2 babies rush to me. Yes I called them my babies and the chosen ones.

"Sometimes training comes in handy!" My other daughter says. I laugh. Now let's run this down. My kids were born human. But unlike usual they both can shift. Normally human babies can't do that. So we just called them the chosen ones. Now one is more in touch w/ their lamia and dragon sides while the other is more attached to the human side. To help them out we go out to train. Now only I'm allowed to be w/ them. Mainly because unlike the others I don't spoil them. But I am their favorite. Weird right? Well that's the thing we are way to similar. Now things I do they do and they're not copying me it just happens naturally. In like everything! Then they inherited my not so touchy personality. Yeah they don't like a lot of physical contact. But like me w/ their family and close friends they allow it. Barely.

"Get your bags packed and checked so we can leave." I say and they rush to do so. We're typically gone for a couple of days. We say it's so we can get some better progress. Which that's part of the reasons the main thing is so we can get a break.

"Do you have to go?" Violet whines while wrapping around me.

"Do you have to wrap around me?" I counter and I hear 2 familiar laughs. "Come on you 2!" I say as my 2 daughters emerge. We make sure we have everything then we leave. And what sends us off is a bunch of whining.

"How is it that we're the youngest but they're the ones acting like children?" Astrid asks. Astrid is the more beast like one.

"Ask me when I have a way to examine their brains." I say and we start laughing. We have a bit of a hike that we do because of this real peaceful spot that really helps them out. Our trip ended way to soon for our likings but can't do much about that.

"So how are we going to try and infiltrate this time?" Willow asks. You can guess which one she is. But when she says infiltrate basically everytime we come back they tackle us. So we try to avoid that.

"I'm gonna need you 2 to check for anything. I'll use my own secret skills to try and find a nice path. Clear?" I say. They nod and we start our plan. We found a way in just fine. But when we got to our rooms an alarm went off.

"Bloody hell!?" We 3 say.

"Language all of you!" Violet says.

"English." Me and the twins say. Violet gave us side glares.

"You guys are getting better. Looks like we need to step up our game a bit." Rose says.

"So what were the alarms for?" I ask regaining my stability. That alarm really disoriented me.

"Fail safe." She answers. After that my mates clung to me and my children clung to the twins.

"Mom can we do a double training month?" Willow asks.

"Sadly no because if we do then we can't leav next month." I say.

"Come on it's not that bad." Rose says.

"Sorry to interrupt but we're going into town. We're about to go on our occasional travel." Bronx says.

"Kids! Pack up!" I say and me and the twins disappear. When we reappear we're next to Bronx w/ bags packed. He laughs then we leave. We got what we needed and then we set out. We got the town we were staying at relatively fast. So we had sometime to goof around.

"What should we get here and for who?" Astrid asks.

"Don't know split up and get what you feel is right." I say. That's what we do. Now the twins typically stay together for safety so I just leave them is most likely it.

Astrid's pov.

We left and now me and Willow are looking for gifts or more accurately called peace offerings.

"So where to first?" Willow asks.

"Let's window shop for a while then stop in on our way back." I say. We do and on the way back the shops we stopped in had some awesome gifts for our family. We got some gifts in each that had the right stuff. We decided to call it good and head to the meet up point. We were talking idly when someone came up behind Willow and told us to go into the alley way. Not wanting my sister to get hurt I complied. There was already someone else in the alley. They grabbed me and held me down. The first assassin pinned my sister against the wall.

"You know you guys are pretty cute. To bad you fucking creatures!" The assassin that has my sister pinned spits w/ venom in their voice.

"So you guys are hunters?" I ask. The one behind me shuffled a bit but got closer to me.

"Yep and you have a oddly nice sounding voice. Are you perhaps using a spell?" They ask.

"No I'm not. We can't use magic." I say.

"Good to know. Well then let's make a deal. You guys are definitely different from what we're used to so if you stay w/ us then we won't harm you." The hunter that has my sister says. Then they stroke my sisters jawline.

"Don't touch her." I say lowly. The ones behind me grip got tighter.

"Are you mates?" The one behind me asks.

"Gross! We are not! Mates!" I say.

"Then what does it matter?" They say seemingly to be more relaxed at my answer.

"We hate physical contact. So I know that already made her uncomfortable. But she won't speak up because she doesn't like talking to new people unless it's an emergency." I say.

*Horn noise*

When the horn blew the 2 hunters wondered what happened. They weren't paying us any mind. We took that opportunity to run. We got our and bolted.

"Where have you 2 been?!" Mom asks. We explained everything that happened. We left quickly and we did that w/ the other towns. What would have been a couple of weeks was just a few days.

"What's wrong?" Our other moms ask. We explained everything. Now our siblings won't leave us alone. Fucking loving this! Is all the sarcasm I can muster right now.
