Traversing Through Beastmen World

🐇 23. Quest and the Master

Bree was warm and comfortable. She stretched out her body and felt her back lightly pop. Her bed was so cushy and warm. For once, she wasn't in any pain. She just wanted to lay and bask in it, but there was an annoying beeping noise that reminded her of something, she just wasn't sure what it was. Then she heard an odd mechanical like voice following the beeps, "Loading...loading...loading."

"What?" Bree mumbled as she slowly lifted her eyelids.

Then her eyes were met with the sight of a large furry black rug that was radiating heat. Bree's brain was kind of half asleep, so she reached out her hand without thinking much of it. As soon as her hand touched the object, blue words appeared in front of her eyes like they had before.

"Congratulations! You've unlocked a Capture Target!" The robotic words said while they loaded onto her screen. "New Quest Available."

"Quest? Doesn't that concern Daisy? Daisy is my quest assistant, where is she?" said Bree.

"Daisy is currently unavailable, I am the stand in AI assistant. What would you like to call me?"

Bree answered without any hesitation, "A1." "Daisy! Daisy where are you? Stop shirking your duties and answer me right now."

Then there was a dark purple light and there appeared a grouchy little black cat with bat wings, holding onto the scruff of a little pouting white and yellow cat who had her cheeks full of air and her two front paws involuntarily lifted. She was absolutely indignant, but there wasn't a thing she could currently do about it.

Posh released her from his mouth, but kept Daisy tucked in close to him so that she couldn't run away. "I know that you're still angry with our master, but running away from your problems won't solve anything. It's not like you can avoid master forever. The only way to solve your issues it to talk it out and come to an understanding."

Daisy frowned, but soon took a deep breath and exhaled. "Fine, I get it." She looked up into Bree's eyes and opened her mouth.

"I'm sorry," Bree said.

"You...," said Daisy.

"I messed up, big time. I should have listened to everything that you had to say before I went ahead and made a decision. It was foolish of me and I've been regretting it ever since, especially after I came here and met the shifters that are going to be my new family. I've only been here for a week, but it's been wonderful."

Bree's face flushed and her eyes glittered before she continued. "Byron has been very sweet, although he's serious and reminds me of a military commander, he has some contradictory moments where he's unsure of himself and I can tell that he's worried about being rejected by me. Glen isn't my mate, but he's been very kind and attentive to my needs," Bree said more quietly.

"My new children have been so sweet and loving, much more than I could have hoped for. Even my new son has started to include me as one of the people he's protective of. Just thinking about what I did makes me feel sick, but I try to not let it eat at me and try to enjoy the present. Other than rejecting my family before I knew them, I've been wanting to tell you sorry too.

I know that my actions deeply hurt you and although I'm sure that there is deeper story behind your actions and hurt that day, I won't pry into them. I want you to know that you can tell me anything from now on and I will listen to whatever you have to say. Well, unless you want to embarrass me beyond all reason, if that's the case, I may have to beg Posh to come save me," Bree said.

"You were right and you're important to me, not just because you're an awesome assistant. I'd like to think that you and I are also friends," Bree said.
