Crafty was taken by the man in his car to a part of town that was a bit dark, dirty and appeared to be “abandoned.” She was not afraid, but she remained alert because she remembered certain advice that Hoppy had given her.
The man stops in front of a house;
— Well, I can't take you to my house, after all, I don't know how to take care of children and I'm not in a position to host someone... — said the adult a little sadly, Crafty seemed to feel sad too — so I'll leave you here, it's the house of a friend of mine, he has two children, he'll know how to take care of you.
— Hmm? Two kids? Wow, but well... I don't know if I'll behave well... — said the unicorn, shrinking a little in the car seat.
— Hehe, it's okay, he'll know how to do it, let's go...
The human and Crafty got out of the car and headed towards a door. The man knocked and waited for answers. It didn't take long for the door to open. It was a dragon, with red scales, some of which were darker. The belly was white up to the chin. He had golden earrings and piercings, and also a necklace with a money symbol.
His hair was messy and even tied into his horns;
— Hi… what's up bro… — his voice was hoarse and tired, his eyes had thick dark circles.
— Hey, looks like those kids are sucking a lot out of you, huh?
— Yes, it is… hehe, anyway, what’s up with the girl next to you? — he smiles and looks at the unicorn.
— Ah… her, well, could you take care of her for at least tonight? She was lost and couldn’t find her friends or her parents.
The dragon's face said it all, the mockery on his face made the human a little nervous;
— I… promise to behave, I’m easy to take care of… — Crafty said a little sadly.
— Hmm… I recognize that tone, well, I guess I can't deny it, what would your name be, little girl? — he crouched down in front of her, smiling.
— My name is Crafty, Crafty Corn — he came a little closer.
— Heh… my name is Simon, Simon Smoke — he replied smiling.
Simon agreed to stay with the girl, they said goodbye to the human who took the car and drove away. Inside the dragon's house, well... it was a mess, and in the middle of it, two children who seemed to be "on the clock".
There was a girl and a boy: the girl was called Janette and she was a dragon like her father, the boy was called Bart and he was strangely a shark boy.
Everyone introduced themselves and so did she, after which Simon asked his two sons to clean up the mess, and in the meantime, he would prepare something for the new girl to eat.
“Hmm… that seems strange to me… why did they accept me so quickly? I spent ten years waiting to be adopted and still no one adopted me, but all I had to do was pretend to be someone who was lost, and voila… everyone started to accept me,” she thought while she was in the shower.
She used a new soap, but used Janette's towel and clothes, which she left because they were both girls and she had also shared clothes.
— Modesty aside, girl… you look hot! — Bart said, he was blushing as he looked Crafty up and down.
— Oh… erm… thank you? — she said a little awkwardly, it was the first time a boy had complimented her, even though it was a little vulgar.
Crafty wore a black shirt underneath a red coat full of trinkets, such as a fur pendant, zippers from top to bottom, and small fake jewels. The skirt she was wearing was black and had some chains around the waist.
— Girl, you must have fallen from some cloud in the sky… you look beautiful! — Janette said, open-mouthed — and anyway, aren't your panties itchy?
— Oh… no, it’s not.
— Children, stop being naughty… the girl is only ten years old — Simon said, approaching them with a small pot in his hands.
— So what? I'm twelve! — Bart replied.
— These are my clothes, and I like to know if they are really good! — the girl crossed her arms and made a certain angry face.
The night passed, after eating, Crafty played a little with his brothers, Simon even played a little pretending to be “a big blanket monster” to burn off the rest of the energy he had.
Soon, the children's energy also ran out, and they all went to their rooms, Simon and Bart would sleep together in the same room, and Janette and Crafty would sleep in another room.
— Tell me, Crafty… — he yawned — where are you from? — asked Janette, sitting on the bed.
— Orphanage… but, I ran away from there… — Crafty was lying down and already covered.
— Oh, you runaway girl, I like you, but tell me, who were you looking for? I heard the conversation that took place at the door.
— Awn… I'm looking for my friend's father… I want to see her one more time before going back to the orphanage…
— Childhood friend, huh? I can understand, our father often talks about how he and our mother met.
— Speaking of mom… your brother, Bart, is he adopted or… what? — he sat down.
— Hehe… everyone asks that, but no, we are related by blood, he just takes after our mother, who is a shark woman — he got up from the bed and went to Crafty's, sitting next to her.
— Hmm… cool, but dragon with shark doesn’t seem to work.
— First hand yes, but well, it worked, right? After all, my brother and I are here — Crafty smiles at her, and she smiles back — well, what do you think about sleeping together? — she asked smiling.
— Oh, no problem, I was even going to ask that, after all I fall asleep faster that way — said Crafty a little nervous and blushing.
— That's great, I can even sing a little for you! — she lay down there and pulled the other girl close and then into a hug.
Crafty couldn't answer anything, she just snuggled in while the girl sang something, it was in a strange language but it seemed to be something very calm, Janette's voice was usually high and very expressive, but singing this song, it sounded quite like something "angelic" and very calm.
Over time, the unicorn closed her eyes, the singing and even the caresses made her very serene and soon she fell asleep, it didn't take long and the dragon girl soon fell asleep too.
