Discovering my voice

Its been about 10 minutes. Time ticking slower than faster. It's trying to keep me on my toes" I thought while noticing how messy the cabin has become. Though I've tried to keep the place clean these last few days the cabin has become somewhat messy.

Excluding my rampage of course. There's more dust and I sometimes stumble on spider webs, whenever I try to explore more parts of the cabin. But like I was saying it been about 10 well 11 minutes now. Laying on the tattered couch trying to brainstorm things to say to Mercia. "I have her number; all I have to do is say something cool," I thought shifting in pain every once in a while, from the different elemental changes happening in my abdominal. "Wow I never thought id say something like that," I said getting up and just gazing at my motorcycle.

The more I stared at it the more in love I became. This bike really had everything that a cool badass needed. It had just enough space at the back for a pretty girl. I can just imagine Mercia and I moving through the world like wind. Going everywhere and seeing everything, shed be at the back arms wrapped around me. Whispering sweet nothing into my ear. Alright," I screamed while rushing towards my phone.

Dialing the numbers was harder than I thought id be. I can't be this scared" I thought wiping the sweat off my hands. The phone rang for what felt like hours nonstop. She wouldn't give the wrong number, would she?"

"yes hello?" Mercia said in a quiet sweet voice.

"Hey, its Alex. Did I catch you at the wrong time?"

"… No, you're fine. I'm glad you called."

"well, I'm glad you answered. Soo what are you up to?" I said putting on the best tough-guy voice I could.

"Nothing much just got out of the shower…. But umm Alex is there something wrong with your voice? You sound weird."

"My voice? No no, its nothing just how I normally sound…... at … this ... time of day"

"at this time of day? Alex, you're such a goof. But what are you doing?" she said trying to hold back a laugh.

"I'm at the cabin staring at my bike," I said returning to a lesser version of the tough guy voice

"ohh what are you doing up there all by yourself? Huh huh" her voice had a delicate but mischievous sound to it.

"nothing wha... wha... what'd you think I'd be doing up here?" I said squeamishly, just barely managing to get the words out.

"you don't sound so honest, from what I can hear. Don't tell me… little Alex is omg" this was a different side of her. "she's very mischievous. I thought while practically sweating bullets.

"And if I was… what's that have to do with you? Unless you want to join?" I said in an equally playful voice with hints of sexual innuendo.

"Omg I didn't think you'd be so kind as to invite me over"

"Mercia," I said seriously

"Yes daddy, what can I do for you?" she could barely hold back her laughter, and I heard some other people laughing as well.

"Oh, really funny you guys. Look you nearly got me. But you'll have to do better than that" I said without a hint of fear or stutter. "This was honestly fun." I thought

"Oh, yeahhh we just barely got you wink wink…. But I think we'll have to take you up on your offer to visit the cabin"

"Oh yeah let's consider it a date, ill take all of you out. For a good time"

"young man do not speak to my daughter in such a familiar tone. And I do not at all appreciate your sexual innuendo" a soft angry mature-sounding voice said.

"umm…... you guys?" the voice wasn't Sherley's or Mercia's which really made me think it was her mother.

(A group of girls laughing could be heard through the phone)

"oh, really funny. Consider yourselves uninvited to the cabin. The cabin is off-limits to all of you until I get an apology" I said in a playful pouting voice.

"Oh, no young man you can't uninvite us… we've got "things" we want to show you," said the girl with a mature-sounding voice. Honestly, her voice was overly sexual and arousing.

"alright, only you though," I said.

"Alexander! What do you mean only her? huh huh…. we all want to come" Mercia said in a weirdly serious voice.

"come on are you girls done bullying little Alex," Sherley said.

"aww, my savior is finally here. They've been bullying me Sherley" I said pretend crying.

"Alex we've all got showers to take and things tonight bye," Sherley said

"NOO don't leave me out of the most fun part." Honestly, I couldn't believe I said that.

"Alexander you're 17 act your age. Good night"

(Girls could be heard in the background "17 Mercia!" "wow" "Mercia Sherley" more and more could be heard)

Before I could say anything, the phone hung up. "What the hell just happened," I said softly. Shit, I start work tomorrow. My mood plummeted as soon as I realized that. Before I went to bed I sent Mercia a text. "Sorry if you got teased because of me. Have a good sweet night" I texted her before setting my alarm and getting some sleep.

When I woke up it was just about 7:31. I felt drenched in a pool filled with stale water. My body was stiff, moving was hard and snail-like. The reason for all of this was obvious. I had a dream that I was the dragon, outgrowing my skin then. As if possessed by an unexplainable hunger, a calling to do ungodly violence onto myself and the world. This feeling went on for the whole night, I was dragon raging inside the hollow ball forcing it to expand in order to hold my new size. I moved my bike out of the house, grabbing my backpack and started heading home.

When I reached Mercia's house, she was on the swing set in front of her house again. She looked divine, like a goddess of death. She looked over at me and started walking over, she looked weird again. The makeup on her made her look, awkward. This time though I wouldn't allow myself to laugh,

"you're starting again. I know I look weird, but I hear it's what "normal" girls do" she stood right in front of me. A goddess of death, with leaf green eyes.

"you don't look weird. You're beautiful" I said surprising her and me. "Why'd I say that," I thought wanting to pinch myself to wake up from this dream.

"Merciaaaa, who's that!" a girl wearing, sleeping pajama skirt-like thing, big black harry potter glasses she had freckles with pitch-black long straight hair, even longer than Mercia. Her skin was ivory colored. "She's busty," I thought starring at her running towards me.

"Run Alexander" Mercia yelled. With a big smile on her face

"run why?" I said trying to get my motorcycle started again unable to take my eyes off the girl running towards me.

"Don't you dare take off"

it's her I thought remembering the mature voice I heard. She looked Asian and around 25ish. But just from one glance, I could tell she was very friendly. Before I could take off she grabbed my collar and pulled my face towards hers.

"Alright, I'm not going anywhere. Let go of my shirt."

"So this is him huh. Little playboy. Wanting a group of girls to come over to your cabin… ill give you this and only this. Asking girls to come over to your "Cabin" is not something I've heard before." She had a mature voice that always seemed flirtatious.

"Mercia help me,"

I said looking over at Mercia who was staring towards the house. A group of girls not properly dressed were looking at the scene unfolding. Sherley's busty body was standing at the helm of the door. The girl holding my collar also looked back then started laughing. Gripping my collar even tighter.

"OH, I was going to give you a chance to explain yourself. What do you want them all in your harem? Should I be first then Mercia?" she said while whispering into my ear. Finally catching Mercia's attention

"Ahmya stop messing around. Gosh, you're embarrassing me let him go."

Mercia said completely red in the face and fist clenched, unable to even look at me. But oddly she was fighting hard not to smile

"Mercia, why are you acting like such a good girl in front of him…. Don't tell me omg." She said letting me go.

"Sorry little Alexander, I've been told that I play around a little… too much." She said caressing the side of my face.

"How about you come inside and let me "take" care of you…?" she couldn't hold back her laugh. While asking me that.

"I've got to get home, I'm starting work at the "halfway" today," I said unable to even look this beautiful woman in the eyes.

"I'll make sure Mercia and the girls stop by make sure you're not dying of boredom all the way over there."

She walked off after saying that. I swear to god above that I tried not to stare at her ass but wow.

"Like what you see Alexander," Mercia said. Arms crossed standing right in front of me. I could hear Ahmya laughing in the background.

"No, it's just she's so... unique. But how have you been." I said trying to hold my own against her beautiful green eyes.

"I've been great. But you should get home and get to work"

she said reaching out to shake my hand. I decided to man up and give her a hug. Whispering in her ear.

"it was nice to see you before work. I'll make sure to text you" in my most tough manly voice.

"Are you ok? Your voice sounds weird"

she said giggling while walking away. Mercia didn't have the biggest ass or breast, but she was a shapely woman with curves in all the right places. She looked back with a slightly embarrassed smile on her face. It feels like whenever I'm with her I forget about the pain in my abdominal but shit I've got to get home.

Just as I was driving off, I noticed Mercia's dad standing on the balcony, smoking something. Beside him was a woman that could be described as Mercia's twin, just far bustier, I with an aura that blanked your mind whenever you noticed it. She beautiful" I said under my breath, only to feel a slight force causing my hand to grip the accelerator. The suddenness of it all caught me off guard, with my quick reflexes I barely managed to gain control of the bike.

Nearly giving myself whiplash my eyes darted towards Mercia's father. Eyes filled with anger and spite, letting him know I knew what he did. Though he wasn't paying attention to me his wife was. I could hear them after she moved her life, he looked over to me. I got up and asked, "are you ok." I wanted to tell out "I know what you did" but there wasn't the time or place for that.

"Yeah I'm fine it's strange it felt like someone was using some kind of force to control my hand,"

I said, calming myself down. He gave me a strange look, an acknowledgment of sorts. Though after what felt like minutes of staring at each other he simply sat down not saying another word to me. He continued his conversation with his wife, who strangely kept looking at me with a blank stare.

The rest of the drive home was short. I surprisingly lived close to Mercia. When I got home my dad was standing outside with my work clothes in one hand, I parked and before I could say anything.

"Go take a shower its already 8:13 hurry up. Its time to be a man now no more second chances A."

"Yes Sir"

I said making a reference to his military days.
