C15: A place in the Woods

Before Jamie said it, she knew the answer.

"So, you want that old abandoned cabin, huh… why is that though? Did you not see into any missions? Or, rather — any available lodges?"

Jamie wondered about this as his expression changed to bitter. "Ahhh… well, you know, we always do prefer free things."

The witch smiled at this, amused. "That is very true."

Jamie wasn't really directing that at this world, but his mother planet which was "Earth." Apparently, there wasn't much of a difference between the two, and Jamie didn't notice this either! (Not yet)

Claire, on the other hand, was simply watching the two talk, and laughing at the little jokes. She didn't even know such a cabin existed in the woods, to begin with. Not like she was interested in it anyway.

However, Claire did have to give Jamie a message that she had forgotten to give him earlier, but her sister was deeply in a conversation there.

"So, Jamie… did you get any memories back with that potion?" The big sister asked.

"None as of now."

'Hmm... So sister brewed a potion for him?' Claire asked herself, inwardly. That was the only conclusion she had for them to know each other.

***

It didn't take much time for them to sort out the answers to their questions, and soon after, they were marching once more into the woods.

"How far is it?" Jamie asked as he hopped over what seemed to be the fecal matter of an animal. 'Ugh… what a huge turd.'

"Not very far from here, Jamie. Don't worry."

Melloni was taking the lead in the party. It was already getting dark in the woods and the mosquitoes were swarming around the two sisters, but not the Demon King. Claire had taken her cat 'Crowley' with her, but that thing was acting weird.

Cause… in the cat's eyes, the view was different.

His girls were in danger. If this… this Demonic God doesn't go away, he will manage to steal his mommies from him! But, this marvelous Dark creature was too grand to be stood against. Simply, its red eyes were enough to convince him not to fight the monster!

"Ouch! Crowley… stop clawing my boob!"

His little momma cried out as his loving claws tightened on her milk makers. Then, the presence of the Demonic creature grew stronger!

'Ugh… weird cat,' Jamie said inwardly, gazing at the cat.

The cat turned its big green eyes towards the man and Crowley saw the demon's gleaming eyes!

'Oh my God! That face of disgust! That terrifying gaze… he's prohibiting me from touching mommy C's milk makers! No! No!!!!"

The little black kitten hid his face amongst the woman's breasts and softened his grasp.

"Awww… Crowley!" Claire kissed the little kitten's head and giggled.

Jamie saw this and smiled. However, as Claire lifted her head, she saw Jamie gazing at her too. Her cheeks turned a bit red because she saw him seeing the cat cuddle in her breasts. Her eyes lowered and she flushed.

Finally, they reached the cabin Melloni mentioned. It was quite a small place, but for Jamie, it was fine. At least he didn't get to sleep on a damn stable. However, the place did seem like it was going to be… needing some 'cleaning.'

"This place is wild! Well… it's all yours to clean, Jamie." Melloni winked at him.

"Haha…" Jamie gave an awkward laugh.

Claire however seemed to be gazing around the place with awe. Why was the reason? She was one of those freaks who cleaned everything in the house until not a speck of dust was left!

"I can help you clean, Jamie! And sis can take care of the outside, right sis?" Claire asked her sister, with her usual cute voice.

"I –" Melloni gazed at her little sister's eyes and bit her lip because those eyes could not be opposed. "HELL! Let's do this on a whim!"

Jamie stood between the two girls and looked at both. The little sister was feeling heavenly as she opened the door to the dusty old cabin, while Melloni seemed to be burning with anger.

"Yay… isn't this great Crowley?" Claire placed the cat down and she raised her hand to summon her broom. 'Summon Jane…' she thought, and her broom appeared in her hand.

Meanwhile... In the outside...

"COME HERE MY TOOLS!!!" the witch screamed into the sky with her hands spread wide as if she was screaming to the Gods. "Come to me!!"

Jamie gazed at this view, utterly confused. 'What the hell is going on?'

From far in the distance, the same way he walked on, he felt something approaching at an incredible speed. It was as if this… whatever it is had killing intent in them!

Meanwhile… The little sister's totally typical broom appeared in her hand. "Oh, hi Jane…" she smiled at her broom and started to sweep the floor. However, that wasn't it!

Everywhere the broom touched, the dust flew into the air and disappeared with sparkles. It was the power of the magical talisman Claire had embedded in the top of the broom. And the holder was a haunted creature called 'Jane.'

Now… Jane is cursed to live on for just one purpose. Clean out everything all so perfectly, everywhere the broom touches!

Whistling, she started to clean away. Then the cobwebs and even the bathroom. To the power of this broom, even the broken windows were reformed!

However, Jamie was totally focused on the killing intent that was coming toward him that he even forgot about Claire.

The 'something' with the killing intent was coming closer and closer!

"What – what the –" His eyes caught an object approaching him from a great distance with an incredible speed. "SHIT!" he rolled away before it slashed through him!

"FINALLY!" The witch screamed. "NOW! CUT THEM! CUT THEM ALL!"

Snap! Snap! Snap!

The scissors cut through the grass like weapons slashing off humans. After all, they were her tools!

'Jesus Christ… crazy witch.' Jamie smiled as he saw the intense scissors cutting through the grass. They were one of those large scissors that his mom once had. She was quite the gardener.

In less than 5 minutes, all was done!

"Phew… surrender back to your place, tools." The witch ordered, and the tired scissors flew back in the direction it came from, but not as fast as it came.

"Impressive," Jamie complimented.

"Why, thank you."

After that was done, now all they had to do is to clean the inside, which may be a lot harder. Jamie turned, and he was quickly shocked upon seeing the view in front of him. "The heck?"

That old broken down house was gone, and this new one seemed like a Cabin that could be rented for a Holiday in goddamn Canada!

"Haha… well done, Claire. You know, my little sister's remarkable with her thing." The witch patted Jamie on the back as she walked in. Jamie followed her, and he was even more impressed by the inside!

Claire smiled sweetly at Jamie as he gazed in awe at the beautiful cabin.

"Surprise!"

"Wow… you two are friggin amazing!"

The house was truly beautiful. It had a view even a hired house maiden couldn't give you!

"Great, right? And it's yours now." Claire stood beside him, and the talisman embedded in the broom's top approached Jamie's arm.

Jamie's attention was instantly taken away to the talisman because of the aura it was giving off. "Ouch!" he patted away his arm as the talisman came closer. It felt like a match burn.

"Huh? You ok?" Claire asked, worryingly.

"No no… just a bug bite."

Claire giggled at this. "Silly…"

The witch, however, did not feel right when they talked 'too' close to each other.

////

After that was done, without Jamie even participating, all of them stood by the old fireplace in the middle of the house.

"I have to say… you people in Downwood are so generous. That's an invaluable quality of you guys." Jamie said it again.

"Thank you," the sisters replied together.

"Also… I'll have to work a lot of course … I need to make this place look a little more… like a place. There's no friggin bed even."

That was quite true. There was nothing in the house, except a toilet, somehow.

"Don't worry… I have it managed," Melloni smiled at Jamie as she showed him what seemed to be a futon. The futon magically floated down near the fireplace. "And this…" she handed him a pillow too.

"Huh? Is that grandma's pillow sis?" Claire asked, amazed upon seeing this.

"Eh? No, of course not. This is that pillow I threw into the basement after Crowley shitted on it."

Claire laughed hard at this.

Jamie gave an annoyed look to the witch.

"Aw, don't worry man. I washed it super clean yesterday."

'The fuck? That's weirder…

…wait, and you kept the shit for this long?'

"Thank you, I guess." Jamie took the pillow too because he did not need to sleep pillowlessly! Even for a single night.

After that, the Lorkey sisters were ready to leave. However, Claire had one more thing to say… which she hadn't told him since their meeting in the library.

"Hey, Jamie. There's this small guild on the top floor of Randal's coffee shop. It's a guild of demon hunters… I don't know… but I have a feeling that they might know who you are. However, since Demons aren't around very much, we band together on weekends! Try coming there this Saturday… and if you need to, come to our place for breakfast tomorrow. It'll be our pleasure to treat you! You're a friend now… after all."

Jamie smiled at the girls. "It'll be my pleasure!"

////

As the girls left the place, the only sound left was the sound of the crickets outside.

Somehow, there was still electricity in the house, and he had to know what the hell was powering them!

But… he was mostly glad today.

The man felt like he had a new life now, at a place in the woods… but, all told, he was forgetting one fact too. He was still "The 2200th Demon King!"
