Except you enthrall me, never shall be free

Part II

Alina woke to darkness.

It was deeper than the Fold, than any nightmare’s abyss.

She woke to the sound of a man’s low voice coming from some little distance she couldn’t measure, piss-poor mapmaker that she was.

“It’s all right. You’re safe. It’s all right, it’s morning, it’s morning and you are home.”

She knew his voice but she couldn’t name it. It was lightly accented and precise, both too far and too near. She couldn’t see anything—

“Am I blind?” she asked. Memory came to her in fragments, none of them images: pain, like a great claw, and the smell of sweat and pine needles, the weight of her hair against her neck, and wind rushing past, taking her breath away. She moved and the darkness grew somehow more impenetrable. “Have I gone blind? Saints, am I—"

“No, Alina. You are well, it’s only—”

Here the man broke off as she tried to sit up, the wildness of terror taking hold, her heart pounding, making her feel faint, nothingness around her, consuming her—

“Seguru zaude, zurekin nago, neshama,” the man said. Said or sang? She’d never put much stock in the Saints, had never seen what they did for people like her, but what he’d said reminded her of the litany as it was recited on the winter holy days, when the earth was hard and the sky like a stone. She could not have said what the words meant but she recognized them, recognized him.

“General Kirigan?”

“Aleksander,” he said, the gentlest correction.

“Why am I—why is it, it’s so dark, I can’t see—” she said. If she were not blind, had she gone mad? Her mind crumbling into dust, to be swept away—

“Yes, you can,” he replied and the room took shape around her, the wide bed with its tall carved posts, the chests and the diamond-paned window with its elegant draperies parted over lace, Aleksander sitting in a high-back chair, just within arm’s reach, all of it lit with the most delicate light, softer than moonlight, warmer than a candle’s flame, and all of it coming from his palms as they lay in his lap. Darkness trembled at the corners of the room, intensified for a moment, and then was gone.

“Here you are and here am I,” he said. “I shall have some tea sent up and something to eat—”

“But you are the Shadow Summoner,” she interrupted. She gestured around them, where a few dust motes sparkled in the light. “I thought that meant you only controlled shadows.”

“I am. I did. And now we are here and what was no longer is,” he said. She frowned, at his oblique remarks, at finding herself so far out of her depth she could not begin to get her bearings, at his serenity when she could not claim any for herself.

“I’ll have to do better than that, I see,” he said, smiling. Becoming a man instead of a remote and impressive leader. Becoming the person who had held her after saving her. “But let’s eat first, before I get us both muddled in arcane mystic philosophy and quantum physika. I promise it will all go better after you’ve eaten. They say an army runs on its stomach, but I think you don’t have to be a soldier to think more clearly with a full belly.”

“I’m not hungry,” she said, because she never was. Not for the ordinary food from the orphanage kitchen, porridge and lentils, stewed vegetables, black bread, and not for the treats they might get once a year at a festival market-day, fried cakes, jellies dusted with sugar, spiced chickpeas and wafers rolled and filled with sweet custard. It had been no great sacrifice to give Mal the larger portion of whatever she was served or to hand over her once-a-year festival penny for him to spend on something he’d gobble up in an instant.

“Are you sure?” he asked. The light in the room trembled or perhaps she shivered. Shadows dimmed her vision for a second, quicker than a blink, and then were gone. “I can have the cooks make you whatever you want, it’s no trouble at all.”

“I’m not—” she began to repeat and then found it wasn’t true, the appetite she could hardly remember making itself known. She wasn’t ravenous but she did want to eat, even if she couldn’t think of anything particular to request.

“Perhaps something sweet? There are some pastries filled with quince jam and then some biscuits made with kakaoliker and mazzard,” he said.

“Those pies with the cheese, they have them at the fairs sometimes,” she said hesitantly.

“Khachapuri. A savory,” he nodded and stood. His kefta was open and the shirt he wore beneath it was open at the neck, the linen rumpled, his trousers creased. She saw him as he’d been when they first met, looming above her, not a hair out of place, every aspect of his person perfect; he must have slept in the chair he’d been sitting in. He moved about the room with complete familiarity. Was it his bed she’d slept in? What else could she surmise? “I’ll let them know. It won’t be long.”

“I can get up,” she said.

“No,” he said.

“Why?”

“The Healers said you needed to rest. What happened, what I did, it wasn’t how such an injury would be treated by a Grisha Healer,” he said. “They want you to be careful.”

“I feel fine,” she said.

“I don’t believe you,” he replied, shrugging. “You’re too used to being ill, suppressing your power. You’re too used to no one wanting to hear if you feel poorly, to any distress you have being ignored. And I’m not sure how it will go for you—”

“What do you mean?” she asked.

“I mean I didn’t expect to wake up in darkness. I didn’t expect you to think you’d gone blind. Or mad,” he said. She hadn’t spoken aloud her fear of insanity to him but he’d known it anyway.

“I can’t believe you don’t know what’s going to happen to me,” she said. “When you used your ring to cut me, you sounded entirely confident. I felt it when you touched me. Just like when you healed me.”

He laughed, but it was an unhappy little sound, and suddenly his face looked exhausted.

“I couldn’t fail, neshama. That wasn’t confidence, it was necessity. Beyond that, I can’t say I know anything,” he said. “I did what I could, but I was afraid. The whole time.”

“And now?” she asked. He looked down and then back at her. His dark eyes were full of tears.

“Here you are. And here am I,” he said. It was an answer, she supposed. Not one he would have given two days ago, but it seemed the whole world could change in an instant.

“Home, is what you said last night. I remember that. You said I was home,” she replied. “Were you lying?”

“No,” he said. “I can’t lie to you, Alina.”

Can’t. Not won’t. He’d used her name, not any endearment that said she was little or ephemeral. She noticed and she understood he’d wanted her to.

“I think I’d rather stay here for breakfast after all,” she said. “You like those quince pastries. I’d like to try one. Plus the cheese one. It turns out you were right about my appetite.”

“That’s good,” he said.

“That you were right?” she asked. He smiled and it was like nothing she’d ever seen before, all his restraint cast off. With a flick of his wrist, the room was filled with the most cheerful, buttery sunshine.

“That you are hungry.”

And that was the morning of the first day.

The Grimm Variations, Episode 3

A new Netflix Anime has caught my eye. It's Called the Grimm Variations; which feature retellings of Original Brothers Grimm fairytales. But rather be a beat for beat, they are more reimagined. A "What If" kind of thing. I figured I'd share the original Fairytales these stories are based on for those interested.

The third episode is where things really got interesting for me. If you have no seen the show yet, the retell the Story of Cinderella. One of the most well known Fairytales to ever exist. However, they come at it from a different way that I quite liked. What if Cinderella was a massive manipulator, and made everyone around her think her step family was terrible? I think that's a fantastic spin on the story for modern times, as Narcissism and Manipulation is being talked about more.

But for those curious, here is the original Brother's Grimm story (In English of Course) It's quite different from the Disney Version. There is no Fairy Godmother, and the built up relationship is over a few days rather than a few hours. It's well known that the step sisters cut of parts of their feet to fit into the lost slipper, but the Prince set a trap to cause Cinderella to lose her shoe in the first place. Oh and her Father never dies; he's just cool with how his daughter is being treated.

Cinderella

There was once a rich man whose wife lay sick, and when she felt her end drawing near she called to her only daughter to come near her bed, and said, "Dear child, be pious and good, and God will always take care of you, and I will look down upon you from heaven, and will be with you." And then she closed her eyes and expired. The maiden went every day to her mother's grave and wept, and was always pious and good. When the winter came the snow covered the grave with a white covering, and when the sun came in the early spring and melted it away, the man took to himself another wife.

The new wife brought two daughters home with her, and they were beautiful and fair in appearance, but at heart were, black and ugly. And then began very evil times for the poor step-daughter. "Is the stupid creature to sit in the same room with us?" said they; "those who eat food must earn it. Out upon her for a kitchen-maid!" They took away her pretty dresses, and put on her an old grey kirtle, and gave her wooden shoes to wear. "Just look now at the proud princess, how she is decked out!" cried they laughing, and then they sent her into the kitchen. There she was obliged to do heavy work from morning to night, get up early in the morning, draw water, make the fires, cook, and wash. Besides that, the sisters did their utmost to torment her, mocking her, and strewing peas and lentils among the ashes, and setting her to pick them up. In the evenings, when she was quite tired out with her hard day's work, she had no bed to lie on, but was obliged to rest on the hearth among the cinders. And as she always looked dusty and dirty, they named her Cinderella.

It happened one day that the father went to the fair, and he asked his two step-daughters what he should bring back for them. "Fine clothes!" said one. "Pearls and jewels!" said the other. "But what will you have, Cinderella?" said he. "The first twig, father, that strikes against your hat on the way home; that is what I should like you to bring me." So he bought for the two step-daughters fine clothes, pearls, and jewels, and on his way back, as he rode through a green lane, a hazel-twig struck against his hat; and he broke it off and carried it home with him. And when he reached home he gave to the step-daughters what they had wished for, and to Cinderella he gave the hazel-twig. She thanked him, and went to her mother's grave, and planted this twig there, weeping so bitterly that the tears fell upon it and watered it, and it flourished and became a fine tree. Cinderella went to see it three times a day, and wept and prayed, and each time a white bird rose up from the tree, and if she uttered any wish the bird brought her whatever she had wished for.

Now if came to pass that the king ordained a festival that should last for three days, and to which all the beautiful young women of that country were bidden, so that the king's son might choose a bride from among them. When the two stepdaughters heard that they too were bidden to appear, they felt very pleased, and they called Cinderella, and said, "Comb our hair, brush our shoes, and make our buckles fast, we are going to the wedding feast at the king's castle." Cinderella, when she heard this, could not help crying, for she too would have liked to go to the dance, and she begged her step-mother to allow her. "What, you Cinderella!" said she, "in all your dust and dirt, you want to go to the festival! you that have no dress and no shoes! you want to dance!" But as she persisted in asking, at last the step-mother said, "I have strewed a dish-full of lentils in the ashes, and if you can pick them all up again in two hours you may go with us." Then the maiden went to the backdoor that led into the garden, and called out, "O gentle doves, O turtle-doves, And all the birds that be, The lentils that in ashes lie Come and pick up for me!

The good must be put in the dish, The bad you may eat if you wish."

Then there came to the kitchen-window two white doves, and after them some turtle-doves, and at last a crowd of all the birds under heaven, chirping and fluttering, and they alighted among the ashes; and the doves nodded with their heads, and began to pick, peck, pick, peck, and then all the others began to pick, peck, pick, peck, and put all the good grains into the dish. Before an hour was over all was done, and they flew away. Then the maiden brought the dish to her step-mother, feeling joyful, and thinking that now she should go to the feast; but the step-mother said, "No, Cinderella, you have no proper clothes, and you do not know how to dance, and you would be laughed at!" And when Cinderella cried for disappointment, she added, "If you can pick two dishes full of lentils out of the ashes, nice and clean, you shall go with us," thinking to herself, "for that is not possible." When she had strewed two dishes full of lentils among the ashes the maiden went through the backdoor into the garden, and cried, "O gentle doves, O turtle-doves, And all the birds that be, The lentils that in ashes lie Come and pick up for me!

The good must be put in the dish, The bad you may eat if you wish."

So there came to the kitchen-window two white doves, and then some turtle-doves, and at last a crowd of all the other birds under heaven, chirping and fluttering, and they alighted among the ashes, and the doves nodded with their heads and began to pick, peck, pick, peck, and then all the others began to pick, peck, pick, peck, and put all the good grains into the dish. And before half-an-hour was over it was all done, and they flew away. Then the maiden took the dishes to the stepmother, feeling joyful, and thinking that now she should go with them to the feast; but she said "All this is of no good to you; you cannot come with us, for you have no proper clothes, and cannot dance; you would put us to shame." Then she turned her back on poor Cinderella, and made haste to set out with her two proud daughters.

And as there was no one left in the house, Cinderella went to her mother's grave, under the hazel bush, and cried,

"Little tree, little tree, shake over me, That silver and gold may come down and cover me."

Then the bird threw down a dress of gold and silver, and a pair of slippers embroidered with silk and silver. , And in all haste she put on the dress and went to the festival. But her step-mother and sisters did not know her, and thought she must be a foreign princess, she looked so beautiful in her golden dress. Of Cinderella they never thought at all, and supposed that she was sitting at home, arid picking the lentils out of the ashes. The King's son came to meet her, and took her by the hand and danced with her, and he refused to stand up with any one else, so that he might not be obliged to let go her hand; and when any one came to claim it he answered, "She is my partner."

And when the evening came she wanted to go home, but the prince said he would go with her to take care of her, for he wanted to see where the beautiful maiden lived. But she escaped him, and jumped up into the pigeon-house. Then the prince waited until the father came, and told him the strange maiden had jumped into the pigeon-house. The father thought to himself, "It cannot surely be Cinderella," and called for axes and hatchets, and had the pigeon-house cut down, but there was no one in it. And when they entered the house there sat Cinderella in her dirty clothes among the cinders, and a little oil-lamp burnt dimly in the chimney; for Cinderella had been very quick, and had jumped out of the pigeon-house again, and had run to the hazel bush; and there she had taken off her beautiful dress and had laid it on the grave, and the bird had carried it away again, and then she had put on her little gray kirtle again, and had sat down in. the kitchen among the cinders.

The next day, when the festival began anew, and the parents and step-sisters had gone to it, Cinderella went to the hazel bush and cried,

"Little tree, little tree, shake over me, That silver and gold may come down and cover me."

Then the bird cast down a still more splendid dress than on the day before. And when she appeared in it among the guests every one was astonished at her beauty. The prince had been waiting until she came, and he took her hand and danced with her alone. And when any one else came to invite her he said, "She is my partner." And when the evening came she wanted to go home, and the prince followed her, for he wanted to see to what house she belonged; but she broke away from him, and ran into the garden at the back of the house. There stood a fine large tree, bearing splendid pears; she leapt as lightly as a squirrel among the branches, and the prince did not know what had become of her. So he waited until the father came, and then he told him that the strange maiden had rushed from him, and that he thought she had gone up into the pear-tree. The father thought to himself, "It cannot surely be Cinderella," and called for an axe, and felled the tree, but there was no one in it. And when they went into the kitchen there sat Cinderella among the cinders, as usual, for she had got down the other side of the tree, and had taken back her beautiful clothes to the bird on the hazel bush, and had put on her old grey kirtle again.

On the third day, when the parents and the step-children had set off, Cinderella went again to her mother's grave, and said to the tree,

"Little tree, little tree, shake over me, That silver and gold may come down and cover me."

Then the bird cast down a dress, the like of which had never been seen for splendour and brilliancy, and slippers that were of gold. And when she appeared in this dress at the feast nobody knew what to say for wonderment. The prince danced with her alone, and if any one else asked her he answered, "She is my partner."

And when it was evening Cinderella wanted to go home, and the prince was about to go with her, when she ran past him so quickly that he could not follow her. But he had laid a plan, and had caused all the steps to be spread with pitch, so that as she rushed down them the left shoe of the maiden remained sticking in it. The prince picked it up, and saw that it was of gold, and very small and slender. The next morning he went to the father and told him that none should be his bride save the one whose foot the golden shoe should fit. Then the two sisters were very glad, because they had pretty feet. The eldest went to her room to try on the shoe, and her mother stood by. But she could not get her great toe into it, for the shoe was too small; then her mother handed her a knife, and said, "Cut the toe off, for when you are queen you will never have to go on foot." So the girl cut her toe off, squeezed her foot into the shoe, concealed the pain, and went down to the prince. Then he took her with him on his horse as his bride, and rode off. They had to pass by the grave, and there sat the two pigeons on the hazel bush, and cried,

"There they go, there they go! There is blood on her shoe; The shoe is too small, Not the right bride at all!"

Then the prince looked at her shoe, and saw the blood flowing. And he turned his horse round and took the false bride home again, saying she was not the right one, and that the other sister must try on the shoe. So she went into her room to do so, and got her toes comfortably in, but her heel was too large. Then her mother handed her the knife, saying, "Cut a piece off your heel; when you are queen you will never have to go on foot." So the girl cut a piece off her heel, and thrust her foot into the shoe, concealed the pain, and went down to the prince, who took his bride before him on his horse and rode off. When they passed by the hazel bush the two pigeons sat there and cried,

"There they go, there they go! There is blood on her shoe; The shoe is too small, Not the right bride at all!"

Then the prince looked at her foot, and saw how the blood was flowing from the shoe, and staining the white stocking. And he turned his horse round and brought the false bride home again. "This is not the right one," said he, "have you no other daughter?" - "No," said the man, "only my dead wife left behind her a little stunted Cinderella; it is impossible that she can be the bride." But the King's son ordered her to be sent for, but the mother said, "Oh no! she is much too dirty, I could not let her be seen." But he would have her fetched, and so Cinderella had to appear. First she washed her face and hands quite clean, and went in and curtseyed to the prince, who held out to her the golden shoe. Then she sat down on a stool, drew her foot out of the heavy wooden shoe, and slipped it into the golden one, which fitted it perfectly. And when she stood up, and the prince looked in her face, he knew again the beautiful maiden that had danced with him, and he cried, "This is the right bride!" The step-mother and the two sisters were thunderstruck, and grew pale with anger; but he put Cinderella before him on his horse and rode off. And as they passed the hazel bush, the two white pigeons cried,

"There they go, there they go! No blood on her shoe; The shoe's not too small, The right bride is she after all."

And when they had thus cried, they came flying after and perched on Cinderella's shoulders, one on the right, the other on the left, and so remained.

And when her wedding with the prince was appointed to be held the false sisters came, hoping to curry favour, and to take part in the festivities. So as the bridal procession went to the church, the eldest walked on the right side and the younger on the left, and the pigeons picked out an eye of each of them. And as they returned the elder was on the left side and the younger on the right, and the pigeons picked out the other eye of each of them. And so they were condemned to go blind for the rest of their days because of their wickedness and falsehood.

Ch. 39 // Cravings // Day 25

Contents (Warnings): Back to the old grind, with more problems. (safe soft unwilling vore, near overwhelming hunger, some soft moments, bloody/self harm because of hunger, and as always character/monster info).

Wordcount: 4400+ (Yes a day was skipped, it's added here

-------------------------------------------------------------------

(Day 24)

I woke up, curled up on the couch. I sat up and looked down to see Wicks sprawled out on the floor, snoring.

I didn’t press him to continue his “I’m seeing someone” charade last night.

I carefully stepped over him. I lifted the blanket I used and put it over him. What kind of secret are you talking about? And why did you start bringing it up more and more now? I didn’t think he’d be in a similar situation to me.

The hurt entered again. I went to make breakfast.

I’m okay. I said to myself.

I embraced my shallow contentment. I put the griddle on the stove and started to cook our eggs.

I pulled my phone from my pocket and checked the time. 11:20 a.m. I unlocked it, opened my contacts, and found Happy Pizzeria immediately. I called the number.

“Hello, Happy Pizzeria. This is Sandra; how can I help you?”

“Hey, Sandra, it’s Lynette.”

“Ah, Lynette, what seems to be the problem?” There was a pause before her regard showed. “Don’t tell me you’re resigning!”

I’m not going through all this for a month just to quit. I thought. “I’m not going to give up.” An unconscious sigh left me, “I’ve been through far too much at this point to call it quits now.” how should I put this? “I was calling because I’m still drained from the event, and I don’t think I can come in today.” I mustered up my enthusiasm. “I will be there first thing tomorrow at 4:30 a.m., though.”

Her chuckle sounded like an exhale, “That’s great to hear, Lynette. See you tomorrow, and rest easy.”

We exchanged goodbyes, and I hung up. I held the phone to my chest, relieved.

Then, my nose scrunched at the smell of burning. I pulled from the fridge and squeaked out, “the egg!”

I heard Wicks from across the room, “Lentils! What happened!” He frantically ran into the kitchen, the blanket draped over him like a toga. He saw me scraping them off with our wooden spoons.

He laughed, “thanks for breakfast. It looks great.”

I sulked, “you’re welcome.”

And later on, Sandra posted in the main chat that I wouldn’t be coming in today. And once the night crew’s shift started, I saw a text pop up in that chat.

Lev: Hey, Lynette, since you called out, does that mean you forfeited your game day?~ 6:02 p.m.

Claudia: 👀 6:02 p.m.

Why would it matter to you, Lev? You’re not even there...I think I did the same last time too. I couldn’t remember, but I wanted to keep consistency. I picked up my phone, thinking about how the days lined up.

Lynette: I do. So it’s Alexander’s day tomorrow, Drake’s Thursday, and yours Friday, Lev. 6:04 p.m.

I tossed my phone down on my bed. It buzzed with their replies. My eyes fell down to it, not breaking my crisscrossed legs.

Alexander: Good. 6:06 p.m.

Lev: Can’t wait.~ 6:07 p.m.

I teetered sideways, holding my ankles, and flumped into my bed. I held my unbreakable position.

I viewed the texts until my screen went black.

One month down, Lynette, with a month of vacation...10 more to go.

…

(Oct. 10th, Monday)

I played a familiar game of chase with sleep, and like several times in the past, it eluded me. I took a shower to trick my mind because the lack of light outside told my body it was still time for bed.

I got ready and walked toward our short hall before we reached the door. I waved my phone flashlight around and stopped. I saw a pink lunch box with a post-it note attached to it.

“LUNCH! I PACKED DOUBLE, ONE FOR EACH SHIFT. AND A BANANA FOR BREAKFAST!! I LOVE YOU!”

The last part was really tiny.

I smiled, plucked it off, got the pen next to the box, and wrote on the back. “I love you too; thank you, Wicks.”

I opened the lunch box, took out the banana, and nodded at the PB&J sandwiches. I sealed it back up and chowed on the banana.

…

There were four cars, five including mine. I recognized Alexander’s sleek vehicle.

Another pulled up next to mine when I got out.

It was June. He leaped up and leaned over the hood. “What are you doing here, Lynette?”

I sighed, holding my empty peel and lunch box. “I’m going to be working with you guys this week.”

He sputtered with excitement making his way to me. “So cool! I can’t wait to get to know more about you!”

I liked the warm sliver of happiness. He’s so sweet! I thought to the others during the night shift. Why can’t the others be like this? Huh? Why do I have some of the biggest jerks working with me?

“Likewise, June, you seem so nice.”

He chortled with a soft snort with it, “thank you.”

Maybe I should change to the morning shift? None of them seemed that bad.

I opened the door for him, and he went ahead. I followed him down the hall, stopping at breakroom one to put my lunch box away. I told him I’d meet him at the time clock. I threw out the peel and placed it on the top shelf next to the stocked water.

Anxiety brushed against me when I looked over the tables. Ten months, it’ll be over before I know it. I picked up my pace.

I flicked toward the time clock and saw Elliot near the break room.

His umber irises shifted to me. My right foot slid back.

He blinked slowly, unamused. “I’m going to show you both your tasks while you’re working our shift,” Elliot said.

Both?

When he got off the wall and walked to the kitchen, I saw Alexander was next to him. They were the same height.

“Let me scan in first,” I plucked up my badge when we passed it.

“Hurry, I’m only going over this once.” His drowsy dip was followed by a yawn.

…

Alexander

I ate last night, so why…WHY! He cried in his head as her piquant smell drilled into his nostrils. He couldn’t even look at her because the idea of consuming her absorbed his thoughts. Can I eat her now? I should... He bumped into Elliot, not realizing he had stopped.

“Focus, Alexander,” Elliot said.

He pressed back his golden locks for a moment, then gave the nod and let it fall. Think of anything else. Like- He struggled to focus on what Elliot said in the main area.

He luckily put it all together. We're cleaning everything in the customer areas, then after that, I go to the back and…she… He nudged his gaze away. Instead, he stared at the chairs on top of the tables.

A lot of their supplies were already set out for them by Elliot.

“Thank you!” She said to him.

“Welcome.” He gave a thumbs up and eyed Alexander while leaving, but he didn’t say anything to him.

Alexander watched Lynette get to work. She called the bathrooms as long as he handled the main room. Alexander flipped the chairs back down.

She wasn’t in his direct proxy, but just knowing Lynette was within reach made his body stir. Mara really did curse me, didn’t she? Alexander knew he checked his body after he got home, but since that day, the craving got stronger and stronger, and he didn’t understand why.

He was fine for the most part during the festival, given the mixture of smells and free food. Yet now, Lynette was the only meal he could indulge in.

He stepped outside and cleaned the glass door. It was a temporary fix until Lynette approached him.

He stood up quickly.

Lynette flinched and pointed to the bottle of glass cleaner near him, “can I borrow that for a second. I’ll bring it right back, okay?”

He gave a nod, pressing up his glasses. He refused to speak. She picked it up and swiftly turned around. She hurried off, and his eyes followed her.

His toes clenched, and he took steps after her, going to give into the chase.

“How’s it going, Alex?” Beatrice said, almost appearing in front of him.

He hadn’t noticed her. It knocked him from his motion, and he traced her glittered-up complexion.

He forced a swallow before speaking. “Fine.”

Her hand pressed at her gem-red lips, “don’t you want to know how I’m doing?”

Not really. He thought. Alexander knew if he said that, she would make it her mission to ruin his day, and he lacked the tolerance for it. “How are you?”

She pushed back her curly locks with her hand as if she was in a hair commercial, “lovely, thanks.~” She blew him a kiss.

He moved his head up, avoiding her gesture. She’s in a good mood. He hated the minefield he’d tread with her. I’m glad I don’t have to deal with her daily.

She hummed with a fan of her hand and a curious eye, “and before I forget, Elliot wanted you to help out in the kitchen while I help clean up here with Lynette.”

Her name simply made his hunger return. “Mhm.” He huffed, moving around Beatrice and sneaking a glance at the bathrooms. Why am I so possessed, damn it.

…

Lynette

I finished cleaning the bathrooms in time for break. They told me they went to the first break together since the pizzeria opened at 8 a.m. June came and got me. I didn’t notice Beatrice runoff.

“Elliot and Tila told me you are all on the same punishment,” June said. “I had no idea.”

I yawned, “Yeah... it’s fine.” I looked near the counter as we passed it, “it’s a little off-putting here, though, with the quietness.”

“Off-putting?” He chuckled after he said, “OH, because you get a lot of customers and have to rush around, right?” He clapped with his hands, “if you want, I can make more noise in the kitchen to make you comfortable!”

I smiled at the gesture, “you’re okay, June. I appreciate it, though, thank you.”

“Anything for a friend.”

My heart skipped a beat. What-he already- ohhh my gosh! He saw me bend forward.

“Oh no, what’s wrong?” June touched my shoulder gently with his hand. He stopped my motion and peeked down to look at my face.

I lifted my head, and even though he was close, I wasn’t as scared as I was with the others.

“I didn’t expect you to call me friend...” My wide smile quivered. “You’re too sweet.”

June joined the smile club, “That’s good, right? Most monsters say I’m too squishy.” He explained. I wanted to jump in and elaborate. He spoke more, so I couldn’t. “I’ve also never been called sweet before. They say I’m like sour candy, whatever that means.”

“June, no, I meant nice! Not taste-” I looked him up and down. He was a few inches taller than me. “You get eaten by other monsters?”

June nodded, unphased, “sometimes a friend needs it. I don’t really mind.”

They might be taking advantage of this poor boy. How can he still consider them friends after they eat him? Does he not realize he’s too innocent to know!

My thoughts followed the track. I don’t think anyone should see someone else’s insides unless they are a doctor doing surgery. And somehow, I’ve been eaten by everyone on the night crew... I squeamishly shivered. My mind sickly reminded me of it constantly. It brought me a new question after I thought more about what June said. Would I let Wicks eat me if he was a monster?

I remembered the nightmare from a few nights ago, evil Wicks. I told myself. If he absolutely, without a reasonable doubt, NEEDED it. Maybe…but I couldn’t say it with a smile.

I entered break room three with June. “I don’t think I could say the same. It’s too personal?”

“That’s okay! If anyone wants to eat you, send them my way.”

I don’t want to throw you under the bus! I’d feel terrible if I did that. And-its not like I could, Lev and Alexander seem set on humans. Claudia at least doesn’t seem interested in hunting me, Zilla likes monsters, not humans, and Drake…

“Do you have blood?” I asked.

I wasn’t going to tell Drake to bite him. It was pure curiosity.

“Nope.” He tapped my shoulder, calling my attention. He tugged at the corner of his open lips, showing the inside of his mouth. They were normal, then changed to a baby blue hue. It looked like a solidified slime, except for the drippiness of a more transparent color. “I don’t know if you can see it, but in the back, I’m filled with a liquid that absorbs things’ energy. It’s usually way back there.” He pointed his finger to the back of his throat. “If you want, you can reach for it.”

“NO!” I exclaimed and lowered my voice. “I-I believe you-” I smirked sheepishly. His tongue didn’t move when he spoke, and his mouth was wide open. “How are you talking to me?”

“Telepathy,” he let go of the corner of his mouth, “Tristan taught me to move my mouth when I talk, so humans think I’m talking normally.” He pointed his hand to me and then to himself. “I can make it solely between us, or-” he threw his arms out like he was ready for a hug, “all around me. I usually do it in a small radius to seem normal.”

I hadn’t even noticed. Slimes sound like one of the most complicated monsters I’ve met. And-do they have organs? Like a brain? How is he piloted? Is he-

“Hey there, honeys ~” Beatrice buzzed.

We arrived next to her and Tila’s table.

“Hey, guys!”

“Hi.” I gave a wave. I sat down.

Tila squinted at Beatrice but nonetheless said hello to us.

“I never noticed you used telepathy, so your lip-syncing is very accurate,” I told him. Then again, I never spoke to him until we met at the festival.

“I appreciate an admiring eye, Tila, or is that your attempt at disdain?”

Tila papped her hands on the table. “You can’t sit here and tell me I’m the weakest working here!”

Beatrice held delight, “I said there’s no way you could win against me.”

“Beast variations aren’t that strong.”

Her pupils shrank, and she showed off a mean pucker at her lips. “If you believe fairies are superior ones, you’re delusional.” Beatrice raised her palm. “you’re all tiny and could easily be squished.” She clenched her fist as if she had one.

Tila climbed a bit on the table, “you’re conceded, Beatrice. A fairy could take down any foe!”

Beatrice chuckled, “I heard you lost to Claudia during the magic competition..”

June finally popped in with a question, “where’s Elliot and Alexander?”

The two looked at him, and both answered.

“Kitchen.”

They squinted at each other again. Should I try to make sure they don’t start anything? June looks unphased. Is this normal for them?

“How did you guys start working here?” I blurted out in a desperate attempt to stop their fight.

Tila craned her head very slightly, perplexed by my sudden question. While Beatrice flipped her whole body in my direction. Her priority landed on me.

“Zane invited me~.” She pressed at her chest, giving a slight kiss. “And before this, I used to work at a test facility for the giver program.”

“What made you leave?” I asked.

“I wanted to do something different,” Beatrice’s voice wavered. “Though, I still have a few fans lingering about that miss me eating them.

Why don’t they hire a giver? I looked toward the break room door, waiting for Alexander to pop up behind me. Everyone always had the uncanny ability to surprise me.

“You guys never tried hiring a giver?”

Beatrice exhaled, “we’ve tried, but the giver facility plan has better benefits.”

Really?! I thought to myself. Then scrapped the idea, remembering what it was all about. Is it different from my job now? But I can avoid it to an extent...kinda...not... my head started to fill with dread.

I looked up at Tila, “how about you?”

“Sandra asked me about the job, and I thought it’d be a great way for me to leave the borrow,” Tila replied.

Beatrice smiled and leaned forward, “do you still have your dirt collection on you?”

The mockery in her voice didn’t sell well to the lime green-haired girl. “You’re walking on a beam, Beatrice.”

“Good thing I have excellent balance,” She teased.

Luckily before a fight could result, their breaks were both over. I waited for them to leave before talking.

“Are they always like that?”

“I don’t think they like each other very much.”

“I got the same vibe.” It seemed like Alexander got mad at everyone on my crew, but the others didn’t get peeved.

...

Beatrice and I finished cleaning. She didn’t say much to me, focusing on using magic with her tasks.

She was doing delivery today, so she would be heading out shortly.

I got to the registers next to Tila, yawning with my wave. I can’t get sleepy yet, come on, I still have the rest of this shift and the next.

“You look tired.”

I chuckled, “I didn’t sleep too well last night. Did you sleep okay?”

“Huh?” She tilted her head and giggled, “what do you mean?”

“How was your sleep?” I repeated a little louder.

She pointed at herself, “I don’t sleep.”

“You don’t?”

She held her head up, mighty-like. “I keep forgetting you’re a human, uneducated regarding us monsters, huh?.”

Up until working here, I didn’t know monsters existed! I exclaimed in my head. I’d probably fail a monsterology class the same as anything science related.

“Sorry,” I muttered. “So fairies don’t have to sleep?”

She bobbed her head like she followed a rhythmic beat. “Fairies make up for their energy loss by eating a lot of food. That’s it..”

Didn’t they mention she’s super small too? Oh, like those fairies in that small Cafe, I went to with Wenna and Drake.

“Are you tiny too?”

Tila raised a finger at me, “don’t think I won’t get you, too, human.” She had the same energy as an old lady mad that I stepped on her lawn.

I tapped my chest, “I didn’t mean to be rude. I was short too once, even smaller than you fairies after that potion Claudia gave me.”

Her scowl faded once she heard Claudia’s name, “Claudia?”

“Yeah…”

Tila leaned on the counter and tapped it, “never trust a Fae, Lynette. They’re all very dastardly and cunning.”

Dastardly maybe? But cunning? No way, she seems innocently silly. Unless it is all an act? I retraced back to the shop. I’d call her sad if what she said about her family was true. Wait… OH No. Hopefully, she forgot our bet.

“I’ll keep that in mind,” I looked over the height distance. I liked to be taller than someone. “Any other warnings about you guys?”

Tila tapped her head. “You’re smart for the asking.” She pointed to the kitchen. “First, don’t wake up Elliot during his naps. He gets really grumpy.” She grumbled next, “Beatrice is tough to work with.” She shrugged, “Then June’s a sweetheart, too sweet, and Zane…he gives me some weird vibes, but he’s been fine so far.”

I thanked her for her explanations, keeping Elliot and Beatrice in mind.

We were splitting into two groups for lunch since the pizzeria opened at 8 and lunch started at 8:30. By this time, Edgar had arrived.

He gave Alexander and me a cheerful, good morning. I was relieved to see his smiling face over the serious one on Saturday.

They sent me to the early group with Beatrice and Elliot.

I sat on the couch, eating my lunch. The only one I have to worry about is Alexander right now, so as long as I eat and stay on my toes, I can avoid him.

Beatrice cooed across the room as she entered, “hey, how are you, hun?”

“Good, how are you?” I asked.

She came around with a joyful smile, “I’m fairly disappointed,” she gave a loud "harrumph" as she plopped down next to me, “but fine…~.”

She sighed heavily.

"What's wrong?" I took another bite of my sandwich.

“Nothing..." She then pressed her shoulder to mine, "and I’m so sorry about the festival. I wanted to go to Sweet’s party with you, but I couldn't ignore those other treats.~”

"I-it's okay. I got those turtles. They were excellent. Thanks for the recommendation." I wanted to talk about actual food instead of people.

“Speaking of excellent things...” She put her head on my shoulder. “The new hirer I invited won’t be here until Friday.” She hummed, “so, do you mind doing the honors and helping me?”

“Helping you-?” I denied her. "N-no. Sorry, I don’t-” I scooted away. “I don’t like or want to be eaten, Beatrice.”

Her happy grin twisted. It sharpened as finely as her honeyed eyes.

She stood up from the couch, bursting with an unsettling giggle.

“You’re a hilarious little human.” Her case ruptured, revealing the fluffed-up and slender bee-like humanoid. I didn't have time to get off the couch. She tipped the sofa over so it was balancing on the back legs. She had a hand on the lower half and the back piece. It made me stare right up at her and her encroaching face.

"It's funny that you thought I was giving you a choice."

I tried to crawl upward, "then why ask it like I did-" her open maw dripped its sticky saliva all over me. It bonded some of my clothes to the fabric. I tried to kick off the couch.

Her long thin black tongue sprung out, rubbing against my frantically moving arms.

"This is gross, stop!" I shouted.

"Such disgusting nerve from something so puny." She hissed.

Her tongue yanked up my arm toward her mouth. It caught me between her lips. And her tongue slipped out again, wrapping under my back and pulling all of my body to her. It squeezed almost too tight, enough to make me wheeze.

Not that I had much time to think as she brought me into her bright sunflower yellow insides.

And whatever was inside her mouth made it, so I lost my mobility. It was like dried gum but still as wet.

What is this? I tried to keep my head away from it, but it coated my eyes, so I couldn't open them.

I felt her grab my legs and press the rest of me at her throat. I couldn't yell as whatever it was, cocooned me. And I knew she swallowed. I felt the familiar vibrations and tightness surround my body.

I couldn't even say anything as my breathing felt hindered by whatever was over me. Until I reached her first stomach. Having more room, I fought harder and broke from the cocoon, getting blasted by heat. I hadn't even noticed the cocoon was not nearly as warm as the average saliva.

The illuminated, hollowed, reverberating insides made me whine. The little bit of space I had compared to Alexander's interiors gave me no comfort.

And unlike theirs, I heard her moan. “OH~ You were so sweet, hun.~ Thanks for the meal.”

I gasped out, "STOP, DON'T SAY STUFF LIKE THAT!"

She pressed the wall in front of me, at least as far as I could tell, because of its sudden push to my face.

"How else are you going to know I enjoyed your contribution, hmm?”

I pushed at her gut as it rubbed at me, "DON'T! YOU-I'M SORRY I CALLED YOU GROSS. YOU'RE NOT, PLEASE-release me-"

A tease entered my ears, "never~."

…

Alexander

He expected less. He avoided eating her earlier because he didn't know if Edgar would be pissed or not that he'd technically be helping her avoid some of their punishment. You're kidding me. The room he saw Lynette's name also had Beatrice's and the queen bee herself in her monster form.

He went over to her, a possession in his gaze.

“Hey, Alex~.”

He studied her unmoving gut, then her. He wasn't as threatening to most monsters in his human form.

Alexander grit his teeth, and Beatrice gestured to her abdomen, “what’s the matter, you look jealous?” she chuckled, “I’m sorry, you wanted her, didn’t you?”

“You're an asshole for eating her.”

Beatrice's lip raised with a snarl, "don't talk to me with such disrespect, half-breed."

I should rip her from her body right now. Alexander thought.

"Let her go."

Beatrice leaned back, smiling again. She massaged her fingers into it, “at the end of my shift, sure~.”

He clutched his fists and then exhaled with a rapid breath. “You-” He couldn’t focus and felt a skittishness in his body. I should be the one- He caught his thoughts.

Alexander turned back, feeling his mouth ache. He stumbled out of the break room, catching himself on the walls once he got to the hall. He panted erratically as he kept his body from changing.

He stumbled toward the kitchen, holding his collar and pulling at it as he felt he couldn't breathe.

“Ed-Edgar.” He called.

The man who spun the dough looked up with a big grin. Then, his expression changed when he saw Alexander's state.

“What’s going on, son?” He placed the dough down, searching over him.

“I’ll do two weeks. I-I have to leave.” He begged.

He couldn’t get Lynette out of his mind. “I have to get checked out.”

Edgar held a fatherly expression when he heard the desperation. “Fine. Leave for today. Just work tomorrow or Wednesday instead.”

Alexander nodded, shakily leaving to scan out. He had to force himself past the breakrooms. His nose keenly picked up on her scent once more.

He got to his car and put his hand on the roof. He fumbled for his keys and felt at the dent he never got rid of that day.

It sent him spiraling down, and he turned back to go to the pizzeria.

He yelled out and forced his arm up.

He sliced into it with his large fangs that barely fit in his jaw. The pain made a muffled whine from beyond his own disgusting flesh. The mixture of iron and raw gooey meat would make him hurl if the contents of his stomach weren't empty.

It let him gain control again. He released his arm, and a giant gnawed gash left, dripping down in quick pitters of his own blood.

He held his eyes shut. The light from him using his magic peeled past them as the wound healed. Once it was, and it had stopped bleeding, he leaned over his car again.

Dry heaving before eventually settling enough for him to drive to the nearest medical office for monsters.

…

Thank you for reading! :D Have a gouda day! (Nonnegotiable, if you're lactose intolerant, you're about to be in a lot of pain, sorry, not sorry. Lol).

Whether you’re a fan of hearty, creamy dishes or prefer something with a touch of spice, North Indian food restaurants near me are a must-visit for food lovers. Here’s a guide to help you understand the magic behind these restaurants and what to expect when dining in one.

The Flavors of North India

North Indian cuisine has its roots in Punjabi food, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Kashmir. These regions contribute to a variety of dishes that share common characteristics like bold Flavors, generous use of dairy, and a balance of spices. You’ll often find:

Creamy curries: These dishes often feature butter, cream, or yogurt as key ingredients, adding a rich texture and taste.

Tandoori delights: Cooking in a tandoor (a clay oven) gives meats and bread a unique smoky flavor.

Lentil-based dishes: Popular in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian households, lentils form the base of many North Indian dishes.

Hearty breads: Naan, roti, and paratha are all staples, typically cooked fresh and served hot.

Must-Try Dishes at a North Indian Restaurant

When visiting a North Indian food restaurant near me, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the variety of dishes. Here are some favourites that showcase the best of the region's Flavors:

1. Butter Chicken

A dish synonymous with North Indian cuisine, butter chicken is a creamy, mildly spiced curry made with tender chicken pieces. Its tomato-based gravy, blended with butter and cream, makes it a hit for those who enjoy rich and smooth textures.

2. Dal Makhani

Perfect for vegetarians or anyone craving something comforting, dal makhani is made with slow-cooked black lentils and kidney beans. It’s enriched with butter and cream for a silky finish, often paired with naan or rice.

3. Tandoori Chicken

Cooked in a clay oven, tandoori chicken is marinated in yogurt and spices, resulting in a vibrant red dish with a charred, smoky flavour. It’s ideal as an appetizer or paired with rice for a light main course.

4. Paneer Tikka

For vegetarians, paneer tikka is a popular choice. Chunks of paneer (Indian cottage cheese) are marinated in spices and grilled in a tandoor, giving it a crisp, flavourful exterior and soft interior.

5. Rogan Josh

A dish from Kashmir, rogan josh is a slow-cooked lamb curry with a rich, spiced gravy. Known for its deep red colour (from the use of Kashmiri chilies), this dish is perfect for spice lovers.

Diverse Menus

You’ll find menus catering to various dietary preferences, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, which makes North Indian cuisine accessible to a wide range of people.

Tips for First-Time Visitors

Start with the classics: If it’s your first time, go for popular North Indian dishes like butter chicken, naan, and dal makhani.

Try something from the tandoor: Dishes cooked in a tandoor oven offer a unique flavour profile that shouldn’t be missed.

Don’t skip the bread: North Indian dishes are incomplete without naan or roti to scoop up the rich gravies.

Beyond the Beef: Embracing Variety
