Unfortunate

Chapter 2

Onto another perspective, we finally are talking about Connie, who just woke up from whatever happened to her, wondering what the hell is going on and why her head is throbbing so much. It was apparent that something had changed about her and she felt alot different than before. But first of all, she noticed that her hair had turned to a crimson red and that her breasts had shrunk to half their size. She also noticed that she was alot smaller than she was before. It was coming back to her, she remembered getting the news of Giyuu's death.. and then she... SHE BECAME A DEMON!! Panicked, she sprung up and noticed that she hadn't only shrunk but before she tried to scream her voice was alot more high pitched. She had become younger. She guessed that she was about 14 or 15 again, which made her feel a little happier but still she was despairing the fact that she was stuck as a demon. She instantly knew that it was no longer safe in the day for her, and luckily she was in a cave with very little light which she used to identify her new hair colour. It seemed to her that right now all she had was her claws and no blood demon art, she wondered what it would be like to have one of those. But, being a 15 year old demon that was only used to using a sword, she was scared of demon slayers now. What if they caught her? She couldn't persuade them that she was the water hashira in a million years as demons cant use breathing arts as far as she knows. She then decided that it would be best to stay at this part of the cave, as there might be more demons further in. But for now, she would go to sleep as normal and try to forget these abnormal changes.

After waking up, she decided it would be best to try and discover her abilities, as she would have to survive through this if she wanted to confront the people she once knew about this incident. Although, she was unsure that the other hashira would accept this incident and eventually decided it was not a good idea to go back to them due to the possibilities that they wouldn't listen to her or that she would be killed anyway for betraying them. Upon nightfall, she wondered out of the cave and looked for something to protect her from the sun and maybe even someone to talk to although she was very sure that in the middle of nowhere that was going to be a very hard task for her. She decided to test her regenerative abilities after some consideration and cut open her arm. To her amusement, the wound healed in a couple minutes of rest meaning that injury did not mean much to her anymore, but it was still something to avoid nevertheless. As she didn't know what time it was, she decided that she would quickly find a different, safer, cave that she was sure nobody else was hiding inside of. Unfortunately, she didn't find anything after what she thought was about 5 hours and began to panic. If she didn't find shelter, she was going to die. Her only option was to keep searching and eventually she encountered 2 other demons, one that looked homeless and one that looked pretty mean, and decided to take the chance and ask them about where she was because there wasn't really another option. "Do you two.. know your way around here?" She asked, nervously. "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO ASK US THAT!!!" Replied Ace with his usual screaming at the top of his lungs greeting. "I'd just like to know where I am." She said, yet again nervously. "Follow us, we'll show you the way." Answered the hobo kindly, unlike his friend beside him. Connie had decided that there was no other option already and so she took up his offer and followed them. "YOU AREN'T SERIOUSLY BRINGING HER WITH US ARE YOU?!" Shouted Ace. "Why not? I don't see why we shouldn't help someone so kind." Responded the hobo, with a smile as he had now taken off his usual balaclava due to his separation from humans. "Thank you.." Said Connie, with a slightly calmer tone than before. They eventually arrived at a grassland with a few tents and a campfire where Ace and the hobo had disappeared and left Connie stranded. "Where did you guys go?" She asked, scared. It seemed not only her body had become younger but also her personality as she had always been quite sensitive and timid. She could see the sun rising, so her only option was to enter one of the tents at random. She decided to choose the yellow tent, which had a masked blonde boy sleeping quietly inside of it. The other tents contained a mean looking boy with white hair and a black orphan that she seemed to think she knew, but couldn't put her finger on it. Her memory had also disappeared. She also thought it was strange that she was so calm around people, as she somehow remembered her times back as a hashira where demons weren't able to control their ferocity. And so, she slept in the yellow tent, hoping that she would not die when morning came.

And, when morning did come she was greeted by a scream and then followed by the sound of rushing out of a tent. It seemed like she had been discovered as she expected. "THERE'S A GIRL IN MY BED WITH OVERSIZED CLOTHES!!" Screamed Munch, panicked for once. And Max then suddenly ran out of his tent and screamed "A GIRL WITH CLOTHES THAT DON'T FIT??" And then "I NEED TO SEE THIS!! I NEED LADIES!!!!!!" By this, Connie was feeling safe and unsafe at the same time, because a pervert wouldn't want to kill her surely but at the same time he's still a pervert.

She would have to try to tell them she couldn't go into the sun if she wanted to survive this and maybe even make them help her get home, wherever home was. So she asked "Can I stay in here please?" With a polite tone. "I'm not that scary, come on, I wanna see your beauty." Responded Max with a failed charming voice. "You're making her not want to come out by doing that you know, try hiding the fact you like girls and maybe you'll get one." Advised Munch, with a smug voice. "I COULD GET A GIRL ANY DAY!!" Responded Max, insulted. "Sure you could." Said Munch. "No, I can't go into the sun." Admitted Connie, scared that they would kill her. "A SEXY DEMON WENT INTO YOUR BED IN THE NIGHT??" Screamed Max, jealous of Munch's so called 'fortune'. "Should we kill her?" Asked Munch.
"WHY WOULD WE KILL HER?!"
"She's a demon."
"A VULNERABLE ONE!!"
"Still a demon."
"A demon who wanted to kill you wouldn't sleep with you."
"Good point."
They decided in the end that they would let Connie live and somehow Sonnie slept through all of this shouting. "So what are you going to do with me?" Asked Connie, scared. "Well, if Max wants you to live I'm fine with it." Answered Munch with a kind voice. "We'll just have to get you some kind of cover to transport you with." And then it struck Munch that keeping a demon could get them executed. "We're gonna have to hide you somewhere when we see other slayers, which we won't be seeing for a while now, but you're part of our team now." Ecstatic, Connie almost jumped out of the tent to thank them, and remembered that she couldn't or she would have to face death. "Would you like to marry me?" Asked Max. "I'll pass, thanks." Replied Connie, with a sort of disgusted tone. Max, ignorant of the fact that she didn't like him, decided that he would try to make her feel better with every moment he shared with her. On the other hand, Munch was constructing a sort of box from wood that he chopped up. "I've got an idea, but it might take a while."

A couple hours later, he had constructed a wooden box to put Connie inside. "Here, get in" He insisted as he placed the box in the tent. It was the perfect size, but she was afraid that it would break. She still got inside though, and it wasnt the most comfortable thing she had ever been in. "Do you mind cushioning it a little, it hurts." She asked. Munch then grabbed his pillow and gave it to her to put it how she wanted. To her amusement, she could shrink her body and become even smaller than she already is and so she did that to become half the size of the box and placed the cushion in a good angle. Perfect, she was comfortable now. "All good!" She said, as they began to wake Sonnie. Sonnie woke up and rubbed his eyes, wondering where his food was. "Breakfast." He said, demandingly. "It's coming soon." Answered Munch as he began to toast some bread over the fire.
"We have a new team member by the way, Sonnie."
"Who would that be?"
"A demon girl that we have deemed to be safe to travel with"
"How do you plan on transporting her?"
"Box."
"And isnt this not allowed?"
"Max insisted we keep her because he wanted to touch her later."
"That sounds like him."
However, Max had a mouthful of bread as they insulted him so he could not respond. They all brushed their teeth and ate then set off about an hour later, when the time was about 9:00 AM. The box seemed sturdy enough for it not to break, so Max insisted on carrying her as he wanted to do everything for her.
