2 No-no

Snapping my eyes awake I realized I am not in the forest. Sitting up throwing off the warm blankets. Looking around I see a nicely furnished bedroom taking in all the designs I realized I have a tree going through one side of my room and a balcony on the other.

Moving almost like an acrobat I leap out of bed making the smallest of sounds. Tiptoeing my way to the balcony I peered out taking in the monolithic trees spread out as far as the eyes can see. Interconnected walkways going between different levels. Each one is filled with foot traffic. Squinting my eyes leaning forward Attempting to get a closer look at the blurry shapes of people in the distance. All of them are tall mature and busty blondes with legs for days.

Hearing the door behind me open I turned around greeted by a girl who looked around confused at the empty bed before turning and spotting me gaping at her. Her smile brightened up the room it was almost as if nothing could go wrong when she smiled. Her grin grew as she skipped over to me, grinning at me. Taking in my cubby form she stopped right in front of me it was then I realized that she only came up to the middle of my chest.

Throwing her arms around me with a hug rubbing her face against my belly. I reached down with one arm and wrapped it around her feeling the stress leave my body. With my other, I pat the top of her head. Turning her head up looking me in the eyes as she seemed to be judging me. I froze for a second thoughts racing through my head wondering if these elves judging by the ears would kill me for trespassing. I heard her giggle quietly into my stomach.

She pulled back her bright golden hair swaying as she took a step back her bright blue eyes twinkled up at me. Grabbing my hand she lead me to the balcony to a corner with a few chairs I didn't see earlier. Letting her drag me over to the chair she sat down crossing her long slim legs grinning mischievously at me. Turning to my chair a simple wicker rocking chair I looked back at her expressing my doubt

She covered her mouth as she chuckled attempting to cover it with a cough. After she was done she gave me a reassuring smile. Deciding to trust her I sat down in the chair waiting on it to fall apart.

"...shit" Groaning I leaned back into the deceptively comfortable chair. Gently rocking back and forth softly closing my eyes. Cracking my eye I watch as she looked me up and down giving herself a small nod. I don't even think she realized she did this. Forcing myself to sit up opening my eyes.

Looking back over at the petite elf as she hummed to herself rubbing her arms still looking me up and down. Reaching out my hand "Hello, my name is Tyler." She looked at my hand before giving me her own. Gently caressing the soft appendage that held a surprising amount of strength as she met my grip in equal measure.

She gave a small bow "Hello, Tyler my name is Sweeping through the open glade with swift feet, but everyone just calls me glade. I think we have quite a bit to talk about." Taking back my hand as she reached to the pouch at her side pulling out a... sliver tray filled with snacks, coffee, and Tea. Ignoring the Tea I zero in on the scones and Coffee. Oh, my caffeine-filled goodness oh how I missed you.

Hearing a giggle I looked up at Glade who was covering his flushed face "Shit, I said that out loud didn't I?" She nodded her head grabbing some tea and scones. Grabbing the fresh pot of coffee with some sugar and milk. With two scoops of sugar and some heavy milk, I leaned back dipping a scone and enjoying the silence between us. Taking an exploratory sip of coffee. I feel as if my mouth just became a festival of flavors. The milk tasted like cream cheese and god it was good. Involuntary let out a moan.

She smiled at me "The milk is not regular milk, but is Holstaur milk their herds are watched over by the Hakutaku. The robes you are wearing are from Were-sheep woven with our elven magic." Letting out another hum as I inhaled the coffee going back for a refill. "The coffee beans are grown by the Valkyries bathed in holy light, and plucked by Dark Angels." Holy shit. No wonder it tasted so good. Almost addictive in a way. I watched her pause before taking another drink.

"I'm not on earth anymore am I?" Looking back at her concerned blue eyes as I was feeling a slight panic that slipped into my voice. She shook her head softly giving me a small smile. She reached over patting my slightly shaking hand.

"No, you are not we found you in what we call a gateway realm. It connects our two worlds, but the one you ended up in was cut off until... your incident happened. The only reason we found you were from my Aunt was messing around with her scrying spells. I don't know what she was looking for but she stumbled upon you." Leaning back she took another sip of her heavily creamed tea. Letting the information sink in. Accidents seem to be happening a lot around me are they connected? Was this all some plot by these people? I watched her eyes narrow briefly into her cup taking a long drink and downing the entire cup.

Rubbing my eyes feeling like going back to bed. Wonder what happened to that other woman. "We also detained that succubus who attempted to force herself on you. That is a big deal in our society. We Monster Girls are not like our brutes of ancestors who would take me by force and keep them locked away." She almost sounded pleading. As if hoping that Succubus didn't stain my thoughts about Monster Girls.

Rubbing my chin in thought before she was looking at me expectantly "Well whatever she did I ended up fighting off and well I... took care of her at the time. So no harm no foul... I guess." Shrugging lightly as she clenched her fist waiting on my judgment "I mean if she wanted to suck me off all she had to do was ask nicely." Gone was the depressing atmosphere replaced with a lighter tone. The Elf looked me up and down for a few seconds small smile played across her lips.

"That is a relief to hear. My Aunt had hopes that you wouldn't let it sully your thoughts of us as a whole." Nodding my head looking back at the hustle and bustle of the city waiting on more questions. I mean It kind of did somewhat I will have to keep an eye out.

"Well, what else do you want with me?" She narrowed her eyes at me as I grinned "I figured you wanted something from me or you would have just sent me off to be taken care of in a normal hospital or something like that." She looked confused for a few seconds before huffing.

"Yes, there are three points with us bringing you here. The first is to apologize and hope you would be amenable to talking to us. If you were not we would have had you back into your world and given you a place to stay with a stipend of funds as an apology." Well, at least it's not like I am being sent to a sex dungeon. Watching her blush I froze for a few seconds... she can read my mind.. my fucking mind. Every time she spoke it aligned with what passed through my mind fuck.

When those words came to mind I watched as she flinched confirming my thoughts. I saw red as raw fury rolled off of me going over the words spoken so far looking for any way she could have done what the Succubus did. Did they lace the food? Were there compulsions on the chair? Where are my thoughts my own? Was I being controlled? The more questions that came to my mind the burning pit in my stomach built up further and further.

She went to open her mouth assuming she was about the defend herself her mouth clicked shut tears brimming in her eyes as they reflected sadness. What is her game? She flinched again as a silent scream of rage echoed through my mind feeling the dam inside of me break as I was about to be used again this time instead of shadows seduction and daggers it was with a sweet smile and kind words. Everyone is the same looking for an advantage monster girls only want one thing and one thing only men. I was what they are after now I am stuck here in enemy territory.

Watching her flinch as the raw emotions barreled into the surroundings feeling the itch to strike out but I held firm. Pulling my emotions in turning the snarl on my face back to neutral beside my glowing fury-filled eyes staring at her waiting on an explanation for the desecration over my only reprieve... my fucking mind. Holding myself from lashing out at the surroundings was hard but my magic is not so easily contained.

Gripping the chair hearing the wood groan and splinter beneath my fingers as she paled. The wind picked up and lifted the tray its contents smashed against the wall leaves are thrown around me. Feeling myself draining I watched and waited as this Elf had yet to explain her actions. Seeing as she wasn't going to talk I raised my hand and pointed back to the door.

"Get the fuck out." She flinched at the unbridled fury leaking into my voice. Feeling my control slipping I watched as she looked at the floor and skittered out of my room as if being chased. Following behind her I slammed the door too hard cracking the frame as runes glowed and sputtered out. My mind has been violated, my feelings of trust have been spat upon, and now I am stuck here. Were my actions rash yes but I have never been one to think my actions through. Now time to make items to defend me further.

A plan I needed to make a plan to protect my body first. Pulling on the anger I felt earlier I pulled out some of my extensive Dungeons and Dragons knowledge filtering through finding what I am looking for in a simple band. A Ring of Sustenance if they are willing to read my mind what else are they willing to do? I can't trust the food delivered or the drink provided. Feeling a weight in my hand I slipped on the simple steel ring feeling the thirst I have worked up going away. My body is done now I needed to protect my mind.

Pulling heavily again on my anger I pulled out another ring the Ring of Mind shielding. Looking down at the miniature brain surrounded by a simple band of gold slipping it onto the finger beside my Ring of Sustenance. Feeling my mind clear from earlier I realized that the milk had an effect on me a calming one making my lips lose and my mind slightly addled. Feeling the familiar anger rising I pressed it down as I needed another two items. I needed protection for when I sleep from the Monster Girls.

Feeling the pool of heat dimming further I find another item that could be useful Staff of the Python obscure but useful until I can protect myself. Feeling the weight of the Magical staff appear I pressed my finger on the fangs letting it absorb my blood into the staff making me the owner. Setting the command for its transformation as 'Sif' is short sweet and easy to remember. Dropping to the floor covered in sweat feeling my body shivering in the cold as I felt weaker.

Pulling all but the barest drops of the heat from myself I willed into existence a fist-sized ruby that would help my lack of offensive abilities. The ruby turned into particles of light while I was shoving it into the mouth of the staff I watch as the Ruby of the War Mage began to melt being sucked down the mouth turning the pale white wooden snake-shaped staff and turning its wooden scales into a blood-red pattern. The Ruby allowed me to turn any handheld item into a magic focus making my channeling my magic smoother and with less strain than I am currently feeling.

Gripping the staff "Sif" I whispered as the staff fell out of my hand writhing on the floor as it expanded. Crawling over to the corner of the room I watched as the three fingers wide staff turned into a massive blood-red snake covering a good portion of the room "Protect me" Whispered my command as Darkness surrounded my mind causing it to become foggy. Feeling the Snake curling around me softly its coils spread around as it turned its head to the rest of the room ready to strike.

The only thing that came to my mind as I fell asleep was how tired I was.

------(POV Change)-------

I fucked up. Rubbing tears out of my eyes Aunty told me not to do anything but he is just a human what was the harm. So I thought why not take a peak at the first human I have ever met. That was until he broke the Hellhound prof chairs in his anger. That much rage was not natural the waves of it crashing against the tower trees. All of the Monster Girls I pass had become tense at feeling the bottomless rage spiraling out of the tower. I wasn't the only one to feeling it at least. I don't think I had ever felt that much anger coming form a single source before at least not in my last two thousand years of life.

Why would Aunty try to set me up with that anger filled boy? Shaking my head he was nice enough until I was caught scanning his surface thoughts. I mean if he was going to me my mate I have a right to figure him out. Huffing I stepped onto the stairs heading to the meeting room. Why would he react like that it is common for us to not speak a lot except my Aunt and just read each others minds? Humans are weird. Still feeling his thought from here as was every elf in the immediate area. Walking past the guards I nodded at them. His mind is still filled with rage almost like a screen covering up what he is thinking.

Why was he so ma...d... his voice is gone.. his mind is gone.. he wouldn't? No... maybe... fuck. How would I explain to Aunty I drove the first man here to kill himself? The rest of the surrounding Elves looked over at me in horror gaping before rushing toward the guest quarters.

Giving chase I sprinted down the stairs as the guards rushed past me years of training in the wilds made them faster and stronger than me. Reaching his door they burst in freezing in place as the biggest snake I have ever seen stood there reflexively jumping back to perceived safety screaming to the others.

The guards barking orders looking around the room for the boy seeing nothing but a pool of sweat on the ground at least judging from the smell. Drag trail into the side of the room the snake is in its molten gold eyes narrowed at us as it reared back barring its rows and rows of fangs at us. It coiled around something in the corner I saw the black hair of the boy sticking out of the coils. Screaming menially I watched as the snake coiled around him harder jaws opening as is mouth glowed threatening to us.

Feeling the guards grabbing me pulling me back out in the hall I hear more running as time seems to speed up as my heart lurched in my chest. Feeling my Aunt get closer I reached out with my mind seeking her out for comfort only for her giving me the mental equavilant of a slap across the face. Rearing back I watched as my Aunt walked around the corner face is her perfect ruler mask she wears when she is utterly pissed. Her eyes found mine and I flinched as her promised a painful lesson.

Trying to remember why she would be so angry I come up blank for a few seconds not knowing why. Coming up with nothing as she seemed to be communicating with a few of her personal Elven guards pointing and waving their hands back and forth.

She strode over to me after finishing the conversation grabbing my ears and pulling me into a side room throwing up a ward. She dropped her mask showing just how furious she was her eyes glowing purple "Do you know what you just did?" Shaking my head slowly thinking over what could have gone wrong. "What was one of the first lessons I thought you about human interactions?" Tapping her fingers on a near by table as she walked closer.

"To the humans their mind is one of their most sacred places. It is one of the only places that allows them to freely think and imagine. And what you just did was to them the equivalent of what we used to do to men. You forced your way into that young mans head, and were hearing what should not have been heard." Closing her eyes slumping in defeat. "Now we have a irate mage in this tower who for all intents of purposes thinks we are on the same level of that succubus who almost mind controlled him..."

Feeling myself reeling at the thought of being compared to those sub Monster Girl garbage. "I didn't mean..." Pain bloomed across my face as my eyes began to water. Letting out a whimper.

"You did mean to read that mans mind and in the process loose any and all good will we may have gained in him being hear. Now we have a magically inclined focus that has gained the ability to cast its own magic. Some of the guards tried to 'remove' that snake but were nearly killed by it. So on top of that you now almost caused the deaths of my people. You stupid impulsive girl!"

She leaned back staring into my eyes as mine drifted to the ground. Its not my fault its the boys if he didn't... "Didn't nothing! Girl! What you are doing is pushing the blame. I will be calling your mother we shall need to talk to the nobles and wizards about this. Guards! Escort her to her room make sure she doesn't leave."
