This story is inspired by the story Glad you came on AO3, by Mercyisnotasignofweakness and Timewasrunningout. Barrattiel, and NNH belong to them.
I also do not own the cover image or the image for this chapter, rights go their owners.
New New Home, an ever growing settlement around Mt.Ebott. It was originally just filled with monsters, but ever since the blogger Barrattiel began speaking such kind words about it after she moved here, you can now see a few humans scattered about. They were often either in relationships with a monster, or just a supporter of monster rights. I myself being that of the latter.
You see, as of today I am a new resident, because I am moving in with my niece and her girlfriend. Why? Well there are still a lot of closed minded people in the human city, and a lot of them will do mean things to people who support monsters. Like raising rent prices to be over anything anyone could actually afford.
But walking through the streets of NNH, I am beginning to see it as a blessing. My boots clicked softly against the sidewalk made of wooden planks, the lantern-street lights being turned off for the day. My mind tried to paint what they must look like when lit, how the soft glow must look against the blackness that the surrounding trees create. I shook my head though, my mind couldn't possibly capture their beauty, I would just have to wait to see it.
I looked around at my new neighbors. A small hut completely surrounded by water was the first thing my eyes fell upon. Sitting on two lilly pads were what I could only compare to frogs, they seemed to be asleep, simply basking in the sun that would be gone in a couple of hours. Next stood a house that looked like a giant seashell. Inside I could hear a faint melody, but the owner of the voice never made themselves known.
My feet carried me past a house that was made out of a sort of terracotta type substance, with fires burning all around the yard. I was about to turn and ask the owners if they knew of the fires, but when two tiny volcanoes scurried past, I figured that they must just like it that way.
House after house I passed, giving a smile and small wave to all of the monsters, who gave a wave in return. The atmosphere here was--happy. It was new, and refreshing. It was exciting overall, a change of scenery always offered new inspiration and I could already feel my fingers itching to start typing out a new story.But first, I needed to get settled in, and lucky for me, my destination was in sight.
I hadn't really believed my niece when she told me the house was one that "You can't miss", but boy was she right. Only slightly hidden by surrounding trees, stood a large three story log cabin. The balconies on the second and third floor pointed to the west, and I knew it would be perfect for watching the sunset. The house filled me with even more excitement, mostly though, because I hadn't seen my niece in over a year, and facebook can only do so much to keep you in contact. My feet stopped once I reached the door, and just as I raised my fist to knock. The door swung open.
"Heeeeeeeey" My niece smiled. Her black hair hanging over one side of her face just as it always did, and her lips pulled back into a smile that made her lip ring stand out more.
"Hey!" I smiled back before hugging her.
"It's been way to long chick" She replied before letting go and grabbing my bag.
"I know, but you know how life gets sometimes" I sighed, following her up the stairs. The first floor was the kitchen, dining, and living room. The second floor was the master bedroom and from what I was told, my niece's drum room. The third floor held two more rooms, one bedroom, and an empty room.
"You right, you right, well hopefully life will be better for you now that you're here" She replied, sitting my bag on the bed.
"I think it will. Everyone seems so nice here" I smiled, sitting down on the plush mattress.
