_-Where did Eda go after-_
_-having brought Alex to Bumpkins?-_

_-Who met her while she was passing-_ _-by house to pick up something that-_
_- had she forgotten? -_

_-I'll tell you-_

"Damn, I forgot the goods, how come I forgot?! I'm an idiot..." I think to myself already in the direction of "market" marveling at her idiocy. How could she forget about the stuff she was supposed to sell?!
Forced by her idiocy he found himself making a U-turn on her changing her direction from "market" to "nest/home".

His house was always a mess and full of human junk so it wouldn't have been that difficult to find things to sell to people, he just had to invent the use of some object whose usefulness and method of use he didn't understand but otherwise he had things to sell.

Within about fifteen minutes Eda had managed to nab at least twenty important items to sell and another 50 smaller and less important ones. She was about to leave when suddenly a silhouette of a woman appeared in the doorway, a door that the person had forced open.
"Edalyn!" The woman screamed. She was a woman with straight, raven hair; she was about Edalyn's age and, the latter, she knew perfectly well who had demanded her attention and disturbed her. Her sister Lilith.
"Edalyn come with me to the emperor's coven, maybe then she will spare you!" Lilith said with a convinced tone.
"No Lilith, I refuse." The woman replied, ignoring her sister and continuing to arrange the last things to sell.
"How many times do I have to tell you, no I will not join that bastard's coven or any other." She continued the woman.
"Edalyn please join the emperor's coven." She pleaded with the woman.
"If you don't come with me the next time you see me I will have an army with me and you will have no choice." She continued with the threats after realizing that her sister wasn't paying attention to her.
"All right." The Owl Woman replied calmly, not even with a hint of fear or concern.
"Aren't you worried?" Lilith replied perplexed.
"Of course not, it'll be the tenth time you've told me that 'this time is the last' so sorry if I'm not worried." She responded by closing the bag that contained all the things she had to sell at the market.
Lilith was about to lose hope and leave only to notice a pink stuffed animal on the floor a little further away.
She came over and took it in her hand, it was strange it seemed new, used and probably full of saliva, but new much newer than many things in her sister's house.
"Edalyn what is this?" She asked.
"This what?" She asked without sparing her a glance.
"This pink plush..." She replied.
"Pink stuffed animal? ..." She said thoughtfully. Then, she understood; that was one of the stuffed animals she had bought for Alex, her daughter. Daughter that Lilith didn't know about and she shouldn't have known anything about.
"Ah...that, is one of the many objects I recovered from the human world." She lied.
"It looks new and full of saliva, it's disgusting." She said disgustedly, throwing the stuffed animal back to the ground, where she had found it before her, not even doubting in the slightest what her sister had said.
Lilith Clawthorne didn't know what was in the human world but she knew that it wasn't strange to find some object in that condition in her sister's house. It wasn't strange at all, it had happened before.

She left without asking anything else, leaving her sister to recover from the blow she had just received. Her sister was still about to discover the existence of her nephew... How could she not have been scared?! Impossible.
As soon as she recovered she headed for the door to get Owlbert and then go to the market to sell human junk.

Hi everyone.

I hope you enjoyed the chapter, personally it doesn't convince me much like the direction the story is taking but it doesn't matter.
As you may have understood, I don't post very often or at least not regularly and I apologize but in this period I don't have much time or motivation, at least for this particular story.
I hope you like the story at least a little and that being said, on to the next chapter.
