The Witch

Chapter 5

A gentle hand was gliding over your side, stirring you from your dreamless sleep. The ghouls could immediately tell that you have woken up, before you even moved.

"Good morning darling." Mountain whispered into your ear.

"Good morning, Mountain. What is the time?" A face nuzzled into your neck, not Mountain's.

"It is seven in the morning. We figured it would give you enough time to wake up. We brought you clothes from your room, as well as that box you asked for. I believe Omega is making breakfast for everyone right now." Rain muttered, his breath tickling your shoulder.

"You guys are the best." You started running your hand through Rain's hair. He purred, tilting his head to give you more access.

"You don't seem as stressed as you've been these past few days. You smell more like your usual self." He lifted a hand to cup your cheek, running his thumb against your cheek.

"I just hope that things are just a misunderstanding between me and my gut. That's all that I can think of to say." The ghoul laying behind you pulled you flush against his torso.

"Maybe you need to gauge the situation in person. We've got Papa's back too, you know. He's our father after all. Whatever happens he's got five ghouls, and one badass, gorgeous, terrifying, newly promoted Prioress who will protect him no matter the cost." He kissed your temple.

There was one small knock on the door before it opened. In stood Alpha and Omega. They noticed that you were awake. They looked at each other, then launched themselves into the bed. They found some part of you to hold.

"Good morning." They purred in unison.

"Good morning you too. Is breakfast ready?" Omega leaned forward, stealing your lips into a slow, soft kiss.

"Indeed it is." He pulled your small box out of his jacket pocket.

"You said that you wanted this for the morning. There are also clothes on the chair for you." You kissed his cheek.

"You boys spoil me." Alpha wrapped his tail around your thigh.

"Of course we do. You're our favorite after all, it feels good for us to see you happy." You pulled him up to give him a kiss.

"Well let's go eat that breakfast before it gets cold. I also want to spend more time with my ghouls, before I am thrusted into whatever new duties will get thrown into my lap." They all agreed, begrudgingly. Slowly removing themselves from you, they each walked out of the room to give you a moment of privacy.

Stretching your arms over your head, giving your back a couple cracks. Untangling yourself from the blanket cocoon that you had set yourself into. You crept out of bed, your legs buckled under you. You groaned out. Moving your hand to the side table to steady yourself. You turned towards the box that Omega gave you.

You opened it up, seeing a little vial filled with a deep blue syrup." You shook your head, groaning at the taste already. You still haven't figured out how to get healing potions of this caliber to taste good without ruining the entire thing. Some things magic can't even fix.

Slowly uncorking it, saying a prayer to Satan, you threw the vial back. The thick liquid coating your tongue, the bitter flavor so strong your eyes started watering. Coughing and gagging until the taste left your mouth, the effects of the potion started. Your whole body felt rejuvenated. There was no pain in any part of your body, your muscles were completely relaxed. All of the marks from last night had vanished. You looked like you just walked out of a spa, and not crawling out of the bed of a fire ghoul.

You went over to the chair tossing on your outfit that they chose for you.

Heading out the door. You walked down the corridor into the Main Den. The main den was a giant circular room. With multiple corridors leading off from it. If you looked at the blue prints of the chamber, with the location of the Church, it was in the shape of a compass.
