Curse Of a sliver Back

A New Home

Three weeks, that's how long it took for Alaric and Freya get too the girls location. Freya would've been there sooner if the headmaster hadn't insisted on accompanying her. It was frustrating and his history with her family didn't make things easier. As they reached campsite Freya was intercepted by an auburn haired missle.

"Aunt Freya!" Hope said happily hugging her aunt. She kept in touch but they didn't see each other in person much. The two were still close but she didn't want to burden her family with her problems. However she and the twins couldn't get their nine foot, fury friend back to the school by themselves.

"Hey gorgeous." Freya replied embracing her niece while she scanned the area. Making sure no hungry predators were lurking around. This was a dangerous place why Alaric decided it was safe to send three students here alone was beyond her. She also knew her niece well enough to know she probably volunteered to go just to get away from school. The thousand year old witch made a mental note to have a long talk with her niece later.

"Come on I'll introduce you to Titan." Hope said leading the way to the cave.

"Titan?" Alaric asked as he fallowed Freya and Hope.

"I'm guessing that's the name they came up with for it." Freya said her eyes still scanned the area as she fallowed her niece. It wasn't that far of a walk to the cave.

"Where are Lizzie and Josie?" Alaric asked as they stopped at the entrance.

"They're with Titan in the cave." Hope replied after her friend's run in with the jaguars Titan had refused to leave the girls side for a few days.

"You left them alone with it?" Alaric asked alarmed.

"Didn't have much of a choice He seems to be very protective of the three of us." Hope said suggesting he lower the crossbow he was carrying. The man nodded and put it on the ground.

"So why don't you tell us how you became friends with a magical ape." The former vampire Hunter said.

Flashback

The gorilla ran through  the mountains carrying Lizzie on its back while Josie rode on Hope who was still in her wolf form.

"We need a name for this big guy." The blonde said to her sister.

"Good idea, how about Bubbles?" Josie suggested.

The gorilla looked at Josie and rolled its eyes and snorted as if saying "you have to be joking."

"I think that means no. How about Gizmo." Lizzie said the response was a disapproving grunt.

"I think we need something less cute. Josie said as the four continued their way back to the cave. It was true, this wasn't  some normal gorilla that you'd see at a zoo. It was nine feet tall and stronger than a normal gorilla.

They needed a name that was both impressive and awe-inspiring, a name that exudes the strength, charisma, and attitude the creature had demonstrated.

"I got it, how about Titan." Lizzie said as they reached the cave. Sitting down the ape removed Lizzie from its back and gently placed her on the ground.

"Sounds good to me." Josie said getting of the wolf.

"What do you think big guy, is Titan a good name? Hope asked shifting back to human. The animal simply grunted in response.

"Okay from now on we'll call you Titan." Hope said.

"Great now that he has a name can you get dressed just because he's naked doesn't mean you have to be." Lizzie said looking at her friend who was indeed very naked.
