Chapter 24 : That one

After being stabbed on the stomach by that dummy girlfriend, I don't have any feeling that makes me hate her.

It doesn't hurt one bit, I can easily heal myself as long as I find her quick or else she can be in danger, that's why I'm running now, to find her somewhere on that vast kingdom, there is so much things I need to do in order to become a godess, I should be ashamed of how I'm doing that sort of stuff with Olivia but reaching my goal is what matters most.

I lose myself in here, finding many disturbing things, like that child being in my way, he... so little and both his hair and kitsune hears look like mine, the same color, it's just a coincidence that I find a boy in here, maybe it's just someone playing a prank on me, plus he is crying like a baby, what an annoyance...

"Mama, mama !"

"I'm not your mother. Where is your mother ?" I say sharply.

"You ! Mama !" he replies with his stupid big eyes begging for me.

I swear I'm not gonna help this boy, there is no p... actually what if he is not lying ? That would imply that in the past... me and someone... But the only boy in my group I would do it with would be... that one.

I slowly caress his hair with care, I don't want to hurt a child even in the worst case scenario.

"So who's your father ?"

"Papa ! Papa loves mama !" he stops crying.

What a hint, how am I supposed to guess ? Just following my instincts is the stupidiest thing I can do so I'll do it ! I took the child and put him on my back, he makes sure to hug me tight while we are moving forward.

"Describe me papa a little kiddo."

"I have a name... but I don't remember."

Of course... wouldn't that be simple to just say his name instead of putting on that stupid act.

"Sure sure and I'm the Godess of Prettyness."

"I am beautiful like mama !" he smiles brightly with the sun agreeing.

"I know I know, but I'm not that great because if I was I would probably be having so many boys simping over me." I'm sick of this. "Where are the witches just so I can get rid of them ?"

He doesn't seem to understand what I'm saying... pff this is so stupid, I blink and open my eyed again, poof someone I know appeared... Wolfboy my favorite hero, not just because he let me learn things from Damien, I mean I fall in love too often to even believe it and he was definitely my first until I realized he cared too much about our leader, I remember try to kill him during his sleep but Naomi would always come check if we are okay whenever I tried, I mean I know it's wrong to kill someone out of jealousy but controlling my boiling rage is out of my control.

I try to smile at the one in front of me, it's not like he knows, wolfboy is such a coward when it comes to love, he'll stay single forever and somehow it pains me.

Even my proclaimed called child is looking at him with pity right now while he wears the usual outfit, his eyes are full of anger, yet he doesn't scare me.

"Why did you betray us ?"

"My life was on the line. And did you know we had a kid together Wolfy ?"

"I hate you. You, Damien and Karen are the worst. I hope you die lonely." Wolfy declares serious.

"Chill dude !"

The child on my back is looking at his papa, if he actually is his papa, I would not believe it even if it was true.

"Papa ! Papa ! Do you remember me ? It's me Johnny !"

Wolfy is confused, not his real name by the way.

"Johnny ? I thought you didn't remember your name you liar !" I shout at him.

"I'm sorry ! I'm sorry ! Mama, papa ! I need you to save the world." that child is being serious, it's cute in some way.

"Sanaë. Betray that evil princess or else I..."

"Or else what ? You will never command me. I lost my eye once, don't make it harder for me... since you know, you're hopeless."

I made him angry, just by hearing his grin I can tell, that child is jumping down of my back and walking to put himself in the middle.

"Papa, mama, please save the world !"

"How do I save the world Johnny ?" he asks.

"I hate you Wolfy, just so you know, Naomi is doing dirty things with an octopus."

He instantly got near me and he grabs me by the neck, ready to hurt me and looking at me while I smile with his eyes filled with hate, I can feel the chills, he wants to end me, he even strangles me a little.

"Shut up ! You're just a bitch like every kitsunes ! I should have known that from the very beginning. I can hear many things at a time remember ? I overheard too much, I will not kill you now, I need you now to help with something important."

"More important than Naomi ?"

"I don't understand what you mean."

"I've watched you for years, your heart was set on her ever since we met. Love fades away. I am your first kiss."

And that's how he becomes crazy, he is weak like that, whenever I asked him to go out with me for a little walk he said yes because he wanted me to be normal again, he helped me and we had lot of fun during parties, he was so dense and I could always make him angry, like a witch would make me.

Right now, I put myself on fire but he doesn't hesitate one bit and choke me, I am dying...

Yes... yes... yes...

No... no... no...

When I wake up I'm in a bed in an hotel bedroom, the child is gone and Wolfy is giving me a meal... Am I dreaming ? He is being nice to me ? Why is that I don't understand.

"I'm sorry for hurting you. You're still a bitch to me so... obey on my lead. I don't want to force you."

"Are you... helping the witches ?"

"I'm not. If you don't make your evil princess girlfriend bring Naomi back, I'll take something precious from you."

He is a boy, he must only think of one precious thing and he doesn't know the whereabouts of Olivia, which means the only left is my virginity.

"You're disgusting. I thought you loved Naomi."

"Says the whore."

"I'm not !"

"The demon king, a princess, a maid, what next ?"

"You of all people should know I'm not that kind of girl. What will you gain from taking my virginity ?"

"You do it for power, I'll do it for revenge."

"Naomi is in a dream that can become true and she is under the control of a god that makes her lust over anything so the princess is trying to remove that by..."

"By hurting her. You think I'm gonna believe your bullshit ? You don't even know that cunt princess. She is using you and you let her be."

"Will you forgive me ? You were so dense before, what changed you ?"

"One of my best friend betraying us, then two follows. The only one I had left was taken away from me."

"Wolfy, spare me the sympathy. I don't care if it's you, I'm totally fine with it."

That way he will never do it with me, he will never love me like I loved him back then, I'm very possessive of what I own, owning more than one person isn't my type, no, stop with this useless crap, I have to find Olivia and save thr world by killing the witches and their colleagues.

"I will not do it. Sanaë, just tell me why you are so old. You are an old hag."

"I'm only 15 ! Do you realize what you say dummy !? I'm just being tested !"

"Eat your meal, I'm not like you, I don't force people into doing intimate things with me."

"I bet you would have drugged Naomi everyday if we had that before and then we wouldn't know how she would have gotten pregnant."

He doesn't disagree.

"Where are the other two ?"

"Gone..."

I close my eyes and see what's coming.

In the future I will... be blindfolded ?

How far can I look ? Let's try, focus on the futur you... harder ! harder ! That's it ! Just like that ! I end up... being a woman.

So there is nothing to worry about know, since I'm not gonna die, Olivia is gonna live, everyone else too or I'm just dreaming of it, such a bright futur does exist.

"I'm sorry for betraying you buddy. But you know, we had no chance of winning against her. She is overpowered, the daughter of a god."

"Help me think of a plan."

"Do you think I can become a heroine again after all that ?"

"Seriously no, you deserve everything that will destroy your life. Try looking at my past, it's your training."

I try and... the only thing I see are images of Naomi, what I hate the most about Wolfy is that. From a stranger's perspective, killing Wolfy instead of Naomi sounds stupid, but she was my big sister and I loved her that way.

What if she had a dark past ? What if she actually was the enemy and plotting to destroy all of us ? No, I'm just thinking like a clown, she is not a bad girl, on the contrary she is too much of a good girl, she is a beast ! In a good way ! Right now I'm eating the meal and thinking of my next moves, protecting the nobles from bad people should be something I can do by myself, yet a little help can't be that bad.

"So huh... do you have any idea where I can find the nobles from this kingdom ?"

"If you really want to help them. Try to know them before you do anything else."

"Wow wow Wolfy Woofy Woof ! I will help them first, witches aren't good at all. Even if they think they are."

Wolfy, he is punching the wall, right when I talk of witches, he gets instantly mad, brutal... I hate that part of his personality, that's when he genuinely wants to protect someone from being hurt and since from my past I know that witches and werewolves have a special connection between them, a bond stronger than friendship.

"It's your last chance of staying a part of the family. So you have me or you are alone."

Just thinking about it makes me annoyed, I hate choosing between people, food, anything.

I get out of the bed and go away from this place, looking for those nobles if they aren't already dead. Wolfy is following me, I can hear his footsteps, he is watching me because if he doesn't I can hurt the witch if I come across one. There is people gathered around here, lucky me they seem rich enough to be nobles so I try to stick with them.

"Hello sirs and ladies, do you need protection from the witches ?"

They, these people are looking down on me as if I was an insect, If Wolfy wasn't watching me right now I would definitely burn their faces, stupid friendship, why are you always getting in my way ?

"Well I don't really care if you die, you would deserve it."

The oldest man slaps me before I know it, I'm trying to kill him just by looking his eyes, I want to burn him to death... He is just winning at life without trying, why can't they be more kind people like Plutaria in this world ? Wolfy grabs my arm and leaves as fast as possible, we are now outside far away enough from them and he stares at me with his serious look.

"I will not stop you next time. I'm on the witches side."

"Which of them ? What family ? Did you know that the bad ones were actually the bad side of the good ones ?"

"I'm aware ever since I was a kid. Don't act reckless like now from now on. The reason I help them is because..."

"You are more than friends with them."

"The demon king escaped, I need their help to kill him."

"Are you stupid !? You want me to die ? Even if I want to, I can't betray him because of my eye."

"Don't worry about it. I'll forgive you as long as you bring back everyone. Even the strangers you've met along the way. I'm on the side of the good witches, not the one ruling the kingdom."

"So, not me ?" asks the witch I had froze before. "It wasn't easy to get out by myself, thankfully I have someone by my side that didn't want my soul to freeze."

I can't help but throw fire bombs that I just imagine in my mind coming from my hands and feet, burning the ground around that black haired girl that somehow left with the help of someone. Wolfy is with me, we have an advantage or so I thought, he is standing between us with stretching both his arms.

"Don't move. I can take both of you."

"Don't make me laugh, you're just a different kind of dog. I'm used to them." says Carmilla with a hint of an evil intent.

"Since we go this far my friend, if anything bad ever happens to Karen you will be responsible. Make peace with her and we can keep being friends." I declare while frowning my eyebrows.

"I'm not going to hurt Karen in anyway, I've been friends with her longer than you Sanaë." he replies, leaving the place with the witch.

What can I do now ? Pray for a catgirl to fall from the sky and expecting her to be a nice person that actually wants to help me with ? There is no way anything like that happens, I just look at the sky for now, stupid red sky... I'm praying right now, waiting for anything to happen and well... to my surprise no... something is falling !? Is it a falling star, is it me dreaming or is a girl falling from the sky right in the sight of my eyes, like she wants me to save her. I can't see much from here, just a glowing red falling too fast for my eyes to handle it, I run in the direction of where the girl is falling, I can feel it, before she reaches the ground I have the time to save her at the last second before impact, I'm pushed away with the impact of that power, that blast... I keep holding her by her waist like I can with my almost pathetic strength... the unconscious girl wakes up while realizing she is holding onto my breasts and let go of them that fast looking at me with her lost eyes, she has cat ears, long flashy green hair and her eyes are of a mix of pink and blue, she is lost it seems.

"Where am I ? Is this place the Land of Witches ? And why... why is a godess in front of me ? How can I sense that absurd amount of energy flowing inside you ?"

I can't even answer, she has picked my interest.

I'm contemplating at her, she is the most normal person I've ever encountered ever since I retired, is she on my side or is she another plothole here to waste my time ? I'll make sure to find out.
