Run

One hundred fourteen

Frogella looks up.
"Off to bed with you, slut."
Frogella hops into the pond we made for her.
"Thanks again for this."
"You're welcome. Is this what you like though just groping girls instead of actually dating one?"
"Well no she's just a brainless slutty bimbo and it's revenge for my dad."
I nod.
"So yeah!"
I chuckle.
"Anyways we should get some sleep."
I nod. I go to my room. I hear her splat into the guest best and her toy going off. Horny bitch. I chuckle. She falls asleep.

The next morning Shannon's POV

I wonder where and how everyone else is... I sigh. Wait! Oh... it's saveron. He's clinging to my back while saying "my cousin!" So cute! I giggle. I try to pull him off so I can get up easily but he won't let go. I giggle again. I give up. I walk into the kitchen to see Janus. He starts chuckling.
"I know." I giggle.
"No he's just adorable."
"He is."
"Adorable."
I nod. He really likes me.
"My cousin! My cousin!"
I giggle. Janus is trying so hard to not at least smile at the adorable predicament I'm in. I smile. He loses and smiles then says, "he's sooooo precious!"
I nod. He manages to get him to pry onto him.
"There now you can take your hour long shower."
I can tell he's partially messing with me.
I giggle, "very funny but it takes time to look this good."
"I know! I know!"
I go take my shower. When I leave I see him clutching the side of his face with scales. What was that about? He's texting one handed. He notices me looking at him. He gets the device and types, "sorry kiddo, I'm shedding. It hurts."
I nod.
"You mind him staying home with me?"
"I don't mind."
"Okay good," the machine says but he releases a loud pained groan, "I'll get you to school."
"Are you going to be ok?"
He nods painfully.
"Yeah I'll just drop by a friends."
I nod. He gets to the car and manages to get saveron into a seat. I get in. He makes it to the school. I get out and then 30 minutes later I get a text sayin he made it home.

Gyeongsu's POV

Alastor suddenly gets a text. His eyes go wide.
"What's wrong?"
"we need to go to Janus's house."
I nod. We get in the car and almost speed to his house by the time we get there we find him on the floor with a strange kid next to him sobbing. He's also sobbing and clutching one half of his face.
"What's going on?"
"Shed!" The little boy cries.
"He's shedding?" Alastor asks. The boy nods.
"What does that mean?"
"He's half snake"
"Oh."
"It hurts please help!" He screams in just pure agony.
"Right right!"
Alastor picks him up.
"What do we do?"
"I'm getting him into the sauna if you'd like to come."
I follow.
"They look like they're having fun"says rose.
I nod. He gets it all working as Janus continues to scream and cry.
"Is it really that painful?"
"It's not the shedding that's painful he's trying to resist becoming a naga which does hurt."
I nod. Now that I'm looking I can see the scales spreading as he's trying to rip them off.
"That looks painful."
After he's done he lays there hissing and crying.
"Poor thing."
"He can still hear and understand us. But he's outta it."
I nod.
He suddenly stops, "miccce?"
"No."
"Micccccccce!"
"No."
"Why can't we get him mice." I whisper.
"Miccccccccce."
"Side effect from how long it took. It could change him permanently."
I nod. Alastor chains his legs apart instead of trying with his hands Janus is trying to use his mouth.
"This is interesting."
"See his mind is slipping that's why we're chaining him."
I nod. The kid is still crying but is also relaxing in Alastor's warmth. I look over. Alastor picks him up. I follow him. Alastor looks over.
"I'm sorry i don't know how to help."
"No it's okay. Do you wanna get careb?"
I nod.
"All right go on."
I go get Careb. Janus bolts up quickly frees himself and takes careb into his arms. I smile. He pulls him into his arms. I look at Alastor.
Alastor is smiling softly, "so cute!!!"
I smile.
"Anyways," he says to me.
I look over at him.
"Anyways sooo how are you?"
"I'm okay," Janus mumbles.
Careb is fast asleep and the boy is sitting there watching us. I look over.
"Well then."
"What?"
as the duo snuggle I notice something. It's a woman who is sweeping around us. She's wearing some kind of silky garment. Is that their maid? She looks at me.
"What are you looking at?" Alastor asks looking at her but seemingly unable to see her.
"There's a girl over there."
"What?"
"What girl?" Janus asks looking around.
"Am I seeing things?"
"You can see me?" The girl asks.
"Can I see ghosts?"
Alastor shrugs, "um I don't know."
"I'm a silky not a ghost!"
"What's a silky?"
"A fae!"
"They're a type of fae who help out around houses."
I nod.
"You okay?" Alastor asks.
"So you can see me?"
I nod. She looks confused. I look away.
"How can he see me?" She mumbles. Alastor looks at me.
"Wait what card did you end up with again?"
I think of the card. The clairvoyant card.
"It was the clairvoyant card."
"That's why."
"Oh."
"Yeah."
"That's cool!"
"Yea."
"As long as I'm not crazy."
"We never thought you were."
"I thought I was going crazy."
"No."
"Yes."
"Well you weren't going crazy is what I mean."
I nod.
"Anyways though I'm glad you're better... is there a way to help Careb?" Alastor asks. Janus pulls out a strange device and types into it.
"Unfortunately we'd need Lucia's help," the device says.
"Who's that?"
"Pride's real name," Alastor says. The girl stops sweeping then looks down. I nod.
"So yeah."
I nod.
"Anyways though so we gotta find her."
I nod. Careb coos softly. I smile. The girl leaves. We start to smell food. It smells good!
"Wow food!"
I nod. Janus slowly manages to get up. The kid behind him looks up at us happily. I smile.
"By the way I'm saveron."
"I'm Gyeongsu."
"Nice to meet you!"
"You too!"
"Anyways... let's go! Food!"
I nod. They walk in. I see the girl again. I look away. She's finishing cooking. It smells really good. As she finishes she leaves through the wall. We eat.
"Hey whoever cooked this thanks."
"It was that girl."
"Oh well thanks wherever you are."
I smile.
"You're welcome... I know they can't hear or see me but."
I nod.
"What's up?" Alastor asks
"Did she say you're welcome or something?"
"Yes."
"Oh cool! So you can speak to her for us!" Janus says using the device.
I nod. Alastor smiles softly. I smile.
"Well this has been fun"
I nod.
"Anyways. Gonna just sit down."
I nod. Alastor flops down. I sit down. He relaxes. I look over.
"Sorry."
"For what?"
"Being outta it."
"It's fine."
"Okay."
I smile. He smiles back and sighs. I sigh.
"Been a long day hasn't it?"
I nod.
"Alastor you can stay over—"
"Well I mean I'm gonna get the kids for you too if that's okay."
"Thanks."
"Should I come?"
"If you wanna come."
"I'll come."
"Okay."
We get to his car. I get in.
"You okay? Also don't worry."
"I'm fine."
"Okay."
I smile.
We get there and pick up Shannon. She gets in.
"Howdy."
"Hi." She says.
"We're getting you home today don't worry."
She nods. He drives us to Janus's. I look around.
"You okay?"
I nod.
"Okay do you wanna help me cook so Janus can rest?"
I nod.
"Okay whelp let's go."
I follow him. We walk inside the house. We go cook. After we're done I see the girl again.
"Thank you. I don't want him trying right now. He needs rest."
I nod.
Alastor looks at me, "is the silky here?"
I nod.
"Well then thanks for trying your best to help them. They've been through a lot."
"Can you tell him that I've been helping the sin and Saint cycle for centuries?"
I nod. She looks at me waiting for me to tell him. I tell him.
