The sounds of cars whooshing by, the distinct, barely audible sounds of brief conversations from passerby's, the melancholic, addictive smell of food wafting from restaurant windows. It's days like these you love visiting the city, a bustling metropolis full of your favourite places to visit. Now though? You were going for a meeting with the board of directors that host your show. Apparently it's urgent.

Director 1: "Ah, glad you could come on such short notice Mr (L/N). As you know, this isn't purely a social call. We'd like to discuss the recent ratings of your show..."

Oh fuck. Meetings like these always got you nervous, because it's either a make or break situation. It's a 50/50 chance it's either good or bad, and guessing your luck recently? Definitely bad.

Director 2: "The implementing of that new character you drew up has caused the show too...."

Shit, here we go.

Director 3: "It's caused the shows views and ratings to skyrocket. We've seen a 364% increase in views and revenue. Congratulations Mr (L/N), on yet again another success."

What. That deep, sinking feeling in your chest was replaced by a new feeling... happiness. You were making other people happy, and enjoying it at the same time. What more could you ask for? Well, besides houseguests that aren't trying to tear each others throats out every waking minute, but there you go.

Stepping out onto the cloud stroked street you loosen your tie and collar.

???: "Get back here you piece of shit!"

The sound of trash cans crashing and an angry man avert your attention to the sullied alleyway mere inches away from you. Gaining the confidence to check out the commotion you approach the entry way to the sunken passage. A feminine screech rung out, causing you to hightail it straight in.

What you saw made your blood boil. A masked man brandishing a knife, attempting to force himself on a lamia.

The lamia was obviously terrified of him, due to the fact he was brandishing a weapon

The lamia was obviously terrified of him, due to the fact he was brandishing a weapon.

(Y/N): "Hey, asswipe! Do you think it's cool to threaten women with knives for your own pleasure?"

The man turned around, revealing his fuck-ugly face.

Man: "Stay out of this, kid. This is between me and the snake bitch"

That was the last straw for you. Picking up a nearby metal bar, you swing for the back of his head, earning a clank and a thud as his unconscious body plummets to the floor.

(Y/N): "Good riddance."

You now avert your attention to the two yellow eyes peering out from the darkness deeper into the alleyway.

(Y/N): "Hey, Hey. It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you.."

As a sign of peacefulness, you toss the metal bar at the guys face behind you, earning a grunt and a bloodied nose from the criminal.

Snakegirl: "You're not going to hurt me...?"

(Y/N): "Why would I? I'm not like these bottom feeders who derive pleasure from hurting on innocent women. It's wrong in every sense of the word.."

Snakegirl: "T-t-thank you-u"

She subsequently bursts out into hysteric, slithering over to you and enveloping you in a bone-crushing hug whilst sobbing into your shoulder.

Why do you always find yourself in these situations...?

(Y/N): "Do you have anywhere to stay or go back to... any family?"

This earns a muffled 'no' from the girl who was still crying into you.

(Y/N): "You're alone huh... I know the feeling, trust me. If you want you can come back with me until we find something permanent for you?"

Snakegirl: "*sniffle* r-really? Y-you'd d-do that f-for m-me?"

(Y/N): "Of course. I'm not about to leave a vulnerable girl out here all alone with scum like this guy"

You kick him in the chest upon saying this.

-Timeskip-

Upon opening the front door you could hear the commotion in the living room. Three voices fighting for dominance and it sounds like it's about to get physical too. Turning to the snakegirl you lead her into the main entry way of you massive house.

(Y/N): "Oh, I forgot to ask. What's your name?"

Apophis: "It's Apophis..."

(Y/N): "Apophis, huh... cute name"

Leading the violet skinned girl into the living you see Kat, Luci and Monic all arguing.

(Y/N): "What on earth is going on in here?"

The sound of your voice all attracted their attention. Kat and Luci bore teeth at Apophis whilst Monic was just being her cool calm and collected self.

Kat/Luci: "Who the hell is that?!"

(Y/N): "Girls, meet Apophis. I saved her from a thug. She'll be living with us for the foreseeable future whilst I sort things out with Smith, capiche?"

Kat/Luci: "Hmph. Fine."

(Y/N): "You guys get to know each other, I need to talk to Smith about something..."

The sound of your footsteps got fainter and fainter until the sound of your bedroom door closing could be heard. Apophis's facade dropped, a sinister look in her eyes and a vicious grin upon her face.

Apophis: "Listen here and heed my words.. that man, is mine and if any of you even dare to upset him? Well let's just say I know how to pack a venomous bite~"

(A/N: And boom! Another chapter done in the life of (Y/N).. but what is Apophis's true intentions? And what will the girls do to make sure (Y/N) isn't taken away from them? Well, you're gonna have to wait for the answers ;) ciao!)
