Lena, the Werewolf

Monster x human reader (pt 1)

Mostly safe for work(nudity, depictions of a strap on), but trigger warning for domestic abuse.

Escaping a bad situation leads you to the small town of Denizen, where the people are hiding more secrets than just a beautiful state park. It's here that you meet Lena, the best bartender you've ever met.

(I'd also like to shout out @momolady , as this piece was inspired by characters in her Hearthway Hollow section)

"Finally away. Finally, I've gotten away." That's all I can think, as I speed down the road. As I wipe the last of the tears from my eyes, I try to control my breathing. Fortunately, I haven't passed any hidden police cars. The way I was driving, I would have been pulled over, for sure. Then again, maybe cops who didn't know my ex would take me seriously.

With clearer eyes, I catch sight of a speed limit sign. I slow down to match the thirty mile per hour limit. I figure that I must be getting close to a town. I'm not even sure where I am, right now. I just ran out of my apartment, got in my truck, and sped off. I didn't even have time to grab clothes, this time. He was so mad... I couldn't stay there. I can only imagine the state that my apartment's in, now. Caleb probably tossed the place and broke all my stuff. It's probably for the best that the majority of my most prized possessions are at my parents' house. But I definitely won't have my computer or a lot of the pictures I had hanging on my walls, when I go back. I shiver at the thought of him still punching holes in my kitchen.

I'm shaken from my thoughts, when I pass a sign. It says, "Welcome to Denizen. Home of Nethermoore State Park." The green of the basic road sign stands out against the fall colors painting the woods around me, making it hard to miss. I don't think I've ever heard of this town, let alone the park. Coming around the corner and over a small bridge, I'm met with a quaint town. Right away, I can identify a coffee shop, hardware store, gas station, grocery store, and a bar, most importantly. The lights on the street have hanging baskets decorated in autumn fashion, with fake, orange leaves and little pumpkins. There's not a stop light, even on the main road. This place is so much smaller than Stillwater.

I pull my truck into a space next to The Raven bar and grill. It stands out pretty well and has a very charming look to it, as it seems it's designed to look like a log cabin. When I park, I notice an older man leaning against the wall, smoking a cigarette. He looks at my truck, before looking in at me. Then, he just looks away, taking a drag. Now parked, I take the chance to look at my phone. Fifteen missed calls, fifteen voicemails, and fifty-seven unread messages, all from Caleb. However, there are also a couple texts from my mom, wondering where I am and if I'm alright. Caleb must have called her to see if I was hiding with her and Dad, again. Hiding there didn't go well, the last time, though. He almost fought my dad to get to me. I'm pretty sure he'd do far worse, this time.

I send her back, "I'm alright, Mom. He's upset, because I finally told him that we're over and that I'm going to be moving out of my apartment and away from him, as soon as I can. It's finally going to be over. I'm going to be staying the night, out of town, but I'll stop by after I go collect my things, tomorrow." I watch the text bubble for "someone is typing" dance for a moment, before her reply pops up. She tells me that she loves me and that she's proud of me for finally leaving him. She tells me to stay safe and that she'll see me, tomorrow.

I store my phone back in my pocket and hop out of the truck. I hadn't gotten the chance to eat the dinner I'd made, and now I'm getting hungry. The smoker looks me up and down and nods at me, but gets a bit of a concerned look on his face.

"You alright, Miss?" he asks.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, just getting through a bit of a rough patch. I'll be fine," I reply.

"Well, this would be the place to help with rough patches," he says, pointing his thumb over his shoulder at The Raven. "But this is also pretty good and you look like you could use it." He fishes a tissue out of the pocket of his jean jacket and hands it to me. I take it and wipe the last of the moisture from my eyes and wipe my nose up, thanking him.

"No problem, miss. I'm Elijah, by the way. I own the grocery, next door, if you need anything, while you're here." Elijah smiles, kindly. He reminds me of my dad, in a way; sturdy build with dark hair and kind eyes. He's the kind of friendly that makes you feel calm.

"Also, miss, and not to pry on your business, but what brings you to town? Camping out the rough patch in the park or you just come for the pour?" he jokes, taking another drag from his cig.

"Oh, I'm YN. YN Green, and I'm just passing though. Needed to get away, for the night, and kinda ended up here by accident," I reply.

He chuckles to himself and replies, "Well, Ms. Green, if you believe the old folktales, no one ends up in Denizen by accident. Always something to find. Anyways, I'll let you get to finding what you need." I nod and thank him for the help. He nods back with a smile.

When I walk into the bar, a few people glance over at me. The place is warmly lit with hunting and sports decor all over the walls, ranging from old Wild jerseys and a gigantic, framed picture of the old Metrodome to mounted deer and fish. There are a couple TVs, too. All are silent, except for the one displaying a channel for the music playing over the speakers. Many of the tables are full, but I find a small one tucked in the back. The black chair I sit in has a little duct taped patch on it. The sound of bar chatter and 90s country is almost foreign.

Then, an older woman in a black t-shirt with the bar's logo walks over with a laminated menu. "Welcome to The Raven. Can I get you started with anything to drink?"

"Just a water, please," I say with a smile. She studies my face for a moment as she hands me the menu.

"Alright, I'll bring that right over," she says in a cheery tone. I look down at the menu. Burgers and sandwiches line both sides of the menu, with sections for appetizers and daily specials. Today, it's fish fry, like many Midwestern places do on Fridays.

Looking up from the menu, I take another look around. This place is different from my usual hang outs, but not in an uncomfortable way. Certainly, just... different. My eyes stop at the bar, where I notice one of the bartenders is looking at me. She glances down as she hands a customer a beer, but her eyes come back to me. Her short, brown hair is pulled back into a paintbrush of a ponytail, showing off her undercut. Her face is soft, but with a strong jawline. She looks athletic and like she enjoys her time at the gym. I'd bet she could open any jar of pickles she set her mind to.

The waitress comes back over and sets my water down. "Know what you're having, tonight?" I look from her to the menu and order the fish - three pieces with waffle fries, and I ask her to hold the side of coleslaw. She scribbles it all down and nods, taking my menu. "Thank you much. That'll be out in a bit." I nod and try looking back at the bar, but the woman is gone, pry helping someone at a different corner of the bar or checking in with the kitchen. Elijah walks in and takes a seat at the bar, giving me a wave when he sees me.

I pull my buzzing phone back out. Caleb's latest text says, "Where the fuck are you? You need to come back here and take back what you said. We're not over and you better be prepared to apologize, you fucking bitch." My eyes start to water, so I just swipe the notifications away. I open my phone and message my landlord about the situation. A friend of my dad, Mark has been working with me to document everything that's happened and get me out. He wishes he could just move me to his other property, but it's all occupied. With Caleb and I both on the lease, though, he's making sure that all charges for damages and fees for breaking the lease are going to him. He thanks me for the info and says he's going to go over and give him his thirty day notice. I thank him and set my phone down, again.

The waitress comes back over, but not with food. She hands me a glass with what looks like a kiddie cocktail in it.

"I didn't order a drink," I tell her. She lets out a little chuckle.

"No, but someone sent it over. Lena makes a mean Malibu Shirley." I glance over at the bar where the bartender, Lena, is looking at me, again, while she stands by Elijah, who's giving me a toothy grin and doing a goofy, finger twiddle wave. I smile at him, mouth a 'thank you', and thank the waitress. She smiles and walks off, again, towards a table of older folks having a rather jovial night. I take a sip of my drink. Sweet and fruity, not too strong. It would be great blended, on a hot summer day.

As the night winds on, I eat my dinner and stare at my phone, trying to find a local hotel. There's a motel at the edge of the state park, but it says that it doesn't have vacancy. The next closest one is forty-five minutes back the way I came. Far too close. I sigh, wishing I hadn't taken my camping gear out of my truck bed. I send messages to Mark and my parents, getting and giving updates about what's all been happening. Apparently, Mark took the police chief with him, to deliver the papers, and Caleb was detained, after they discovered all the damage. I still don't feel safe enough to go home.

Elijah came and went, telling me to have a good night. I order a few more Shirleys, as the night goes on. The waitress, LouAnne, gives me a polite smile, every time she stops at the table. I think I only heard her raise her voice, once, and it was to tell this old drunk he had to go home. Lena kept looking over at me, but I haven't seen her for a bit. I get lost in my search for a place to stay the night and the warm comfort of coconut rum.

Suddenly, the chair on the opposite side of the table slides out and the bartender takes a seat. "I'd ask if this seat was taken, but I don't think I've seen anyone use it, since you came in. Plus, it's getting close to closing time and I doubt anyones gonna come in just to snatch it," she jokes. "I'm Lena." She's even prettier, up close. I notice the little freckles on her cheeks and the crescent moons on her ear piercings.

"Yeah, the waitress told me your name. You're the bartender that likes to stare," I joke back. Her cheeks turn pink, but she laughs along, shoulders shanking. Her eyes are soft. They're green, like walking through a spring forest. "I'm YN." We shake hands and I can feel just how strong they really are.

"Yeah, ol' Eli told me about you. Said you blew in out of nowhere. He also said you might need a place for the night, and considering you've had a few more of my Shirleys than just the one I sent over, I'm gonna guess a ride somewhere, too." I feel my mouth fall open, ever so slightly. She sent it? Probably just trying to be nice, I suppose.

"You sent it? I thought Elijah did, cuz he saw me when I got here, so I thought he was just trying to help me feel better," I tell her. Her face gets a bit more serious.

"Yeah, I did. Elijah mentioned that you looked a little worse for wear, when you pulled up. Everything ok?" she asks, leaning in and resting her forearms on the table. I feel tears fighting to come out, but I hold myself together. Between the stress and liquor, it's a real battle. The crack in my voice, however is a different story.

Telling her, "I'm fine, just some stuff with my b... My ex." I have to correct myself. He's not my boyfriend, anymore. There's a slight shift in Lena's expression, but it passes quickly. "He's just being a jerk cuz I told him to get lost. But then I got lost and ended up here. Funny how that works." I know I'm rambling, but the words are hard to stop. Her face softens as her eyes scan me. She looks so amused.

"You're a little drunk, aren't you?" Not a question.

"Yes, ma'am. And youuuu started it." I point a finger gun at her and giggle. "You make a good drink." Lena smiles and lets out a soft chuckle.

"I'm flattered," she says, mockingly, placing her finger tips against her chest. Then her tone turns to the edge of flirtatiousness. "It's not every day I get such praise from such a pretty girl." I'm praying that the flush from the alcohol hides my blush.

"I, um... Thanks," I squeak out, causing her to throw her head back with laughter.

"God, that was adorable," she wheezes, trying to compose herself. Pretty, now adorable? I'm not even sure what to truly say, in response. "Ok, ok. Real talk. Eli said you were pry in need of a place to stay the night. Not to be presuming anything, but I've got a spot at my place. I have my basement listed as an Air BnB, and it's open, at the moment. Since it's just the night and short notice, you can just crash down there, if you need. If you found a spot, that's cool, too, but I just want to make sure you get where you're headed, safely." She sounds genuine about the offer. I didn't find a place and I didn't even think to check that site, with it being such late notice.

"Uh... Yeah, that would work for me, if it's not too much trouble. I promise I'll pay you back." Lena puts up a hand and shakes her head

"No need. I'm offering. Now, I get done in thirty, so just hang here, while I finish cleaning up and clocking out," she says. And that's what I do. I sit with my, now, almost dead phone and watch her work. She wipes down the bar and washes her mats, before mopping and taking out the trash. She lifts the large bag like it's nothing and I have to push a thought out of my mind, when I realize that I rocked my hips on the chair. She looks back at me, for a moment, before leaving the room, a strange look in her eyes.

When she and the cook lock up, I head to my truck for my charger and travel toothbrush. I expect her to head for a car, but she just starts walking. I try asking her about it, but she says she lives only a bit down the road and that she just walks.

"Do you want to just drive my truck?" I ask. I'd feel better not leaving it here, if I don't have to." She agrees and we hop in. Lena adjusts the seat back and tilts the mirrors. She rolls the windows down, too, letting the chilly, fresh smelling air in. Then, in no time at all, we pull into the long driveway of a gorgeous two story house. She parks my truck and we hop out.

"Hey there, Toasty," Lena babbles after pushing the door open. She looks back at me with an uncomfortable face. "You don't mind dogs, right?" Then, before I register it, we're both surprised by a very happy Staffordshire terrier bouncing out of the door and jumping up to sniff and lick at my face and hands, letting out a few barks. I laugh at the excitable dog and scratch his ears.

"I love dogs!" I laugh, as the dog sits for pets. "Is this good boy yours?"

"Yeah, he's my buddy." Lena leans down and pats his side. Then, he runs into the yard to do his business, before coming back to us. "Alright, in." He follows her command, trotting back through the door and we both follow.

Lena's home is beautiful. She has many different potted plants in her windows, a spacious living room, and a kitchen that would make my mom jealous. She gives me a small tour, only pointing upstairs to tell me she sleeps up there, before taking me to the basement. It's finished and she's set up a second entertainment area with a TV and an Xbox 360. I even spot some old guitar controllers, in the corner. There's a full bathroom and a bedroom, in the far corner with a nice bed already made up.

"I know you said it's alright, but I'm definitely paying you back for this. This is really too kind." Lena just shakes her head.

"Not happening," she replies, crossing her arms.

"You can't stop me from trying," I say, crossing my own arms and smirking. Her brow creases as she lets out a light snort. Lena takes a couple steps towards me and I feel the wall on my back. I stare into her eyes and am surprised that I don't feel the same way Caleb made me feel, when he would corner me. This time, I can feel my heart racing in places besides my chest. I see Lena's eyes dilate, as if she can tell that that's what she was doing to me, too.

She places her right hand above me and says in a low tone, "I can't stop you, YN, but I can certainly do my best to make you too flustered to keep trying." I can smell her sweet and musky perfume. Her eyes have the same amused look that they had, at the bar. She's playing with me, like I'm a toy. I've never flirted with another girl, like this. Sure, I kissed a few friends, in college, but I never really took the chance to pursue anything further. It was all just in good fun, but this? This is different. And so much more exciting.

"And just how would you do that?" I look at her chest as I trail a finger along her collar, before looking back up at her. I see her breath hitch as she takes in my response. Then, she gets more serious, an almost worried look in her eyes.

"You really want to do this? I need you to know that I didn't bring you here for anything funny and that, if you're just playing, I understand. I'm not the kind of person to just bring anyone home, especially not drunk girls. I'm... not the type for one night stands," she says, searching my eyes. Wouldn't this just be one night, though? I mean, I don't think I want it to be, but isn't that how it has to go? I just left Caleb. I can't just start in with a new partner, the same night. Then again, I haven't so much as kissed him, in over three months, and with everything he's done, I think I'm ready for someone who wants me.

I look Lena in the eyes, then down to her lips. They're thin and I can tell that she bites them, but they draw my attention in a supernatural way. I want to see more of her. I want her. Looking back up and meeting her eyes, I can almost see sweat forming on her brow, in anticipation of my answer.

I place my hands on either side of her face and let out a steady breath. "My brain has been so fried, this evening, Lena, but if there's anything that I know for certain, it's that I don't think I'd ever forgive myself if I didn't take this chance. I want this and I want you." Her eyes light up and I don't think she really knows what else to do, besides stare at me and bring a hand to my cheek. Her mouth is trying to form words, but nothing comes out. I let out a small chuckle, before leaning in just a little, glancing down at her lips, again. This time, she takes the initiative and kisses me, hungrily. My hands find each other, interlocking my fingers behind her neck. Her right hand, remains on the wall, while her left takes hold of my waist, pulling my body to hers.

"Fuck, your lips taste good," Lena growls. She tastes like peppermint and vanilla chapstick. I can feel my body turning on for the first time in ages, as she kisses me. She rolls her hips against mine and I begin to notice a firm object being ground against me. In my head, I let out a long "fuck." Lena hard packs. She's a butch who hard packs. I moan against her lips, grinding my hips to match hers.

"You're sure about this, YN?" Lena pants in my ear, huskily.

"All bark and no bite, huh?" I goad, trying to control my breathing as I plant a soft kiss on this woman's neck. She lets out a noise somewhere between a low growl and a chuckle, before latching into the side of my neck. Her teeth press against my skin and I can't hold back from moaning, which only seems to encourage her. She hungrily licks and sucks at my neck and I have to push her away, before she leaves a mark.

"Not there, just yet," I whine. "I want it there, but no visible ones, yet." She nods, a hungry look in her eye, as she realizes that this means she will have access to the rest of my body to leave marks on. She licks her lips as she looks me over.

"Fair enough." With a quick movement of her hands, I'm lifted off of my feet. I wrap my legs around her middle as her strong hands caress my thighs. "Then let's take this to my room, huh?" She gives a toothy smirk as she begins to effortlessly carry me up the two flights of stairs.

"God, you're strong," I tell her, making her smile.

"I have a very active lifestyle. When I'm not at the bar, I'm either in the gym or on the trails. And I work at the trail head, for the nature center. They have me split firewood, for the campers at the state park." I get a mental image of Lena all sweaty, wearing a wife pleaser and jeans, with an ax over her shoulder. She hums out a teasing tone, when she feels my muscles clench at the thought. One hand slides further up my ass and gives me a little squeeze, as we get to the second set of stairs. "I felt that, cutie."

I mutter into her neck, "Well, I could feel your strap, when you were grinding on me, so I guess we're even."

"You can do a lot more than feel it through my pants, if you want," she growls in my ear. When we get to the top of the stairs, I feel a wet nose touch my ankle. Toasty is looking at us, happy for company. Lena sets me down and gives his head a pat. "Sorry, buddy. You're going to have to sleep in the living room, tonight." He cocks his head, but trots down the stairs, when Lena tells him to go on.

Lena's room is spacious with a couple of dressers, thier tops covered in little knick knacks, a large book case with books ranging from older hardcovers to more contemporary, and a comfy looking king-sized bed with a maroon comforter on it and a large walnut chest at the foot of it. I excuse myself to her bathroom, for a second. I set my phone on the counter to charge and pull my toothbrush from my pocket. I give myself a quick cleaning and check my neck for a mark. Besides being a little red, I'm ok.

When I come out, Lena is sitting on the bed, looking deep in thought. She gives me a soft smile, when she notices I'm looking at her. I ask her what's wrong and she just gives a little shake of her head.

"I'm trying to figure out the right words, right now..." answers Lena. I give her a confused look and she sighs. "Well, there's... some stuff you need to know, if you're serious about this whole thing. And it's... It's going to be really hard to believe and make me sound insane." She looks almost terrified. I sit next to her and she keeps just looking at the carpet. "I hardly know you, YN... But I really feel a connection that I can't shake."

"I was feeling something similar..." I say. "Back at the bar? I just couldn't stop looking at you. Something in the back of my brain kind of just said 'that is the prettiest, most fascinating person you've ever seen, so you better not stop staring.'" She finally looks at me with a soft smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes..

"I'm... not quite a normal person." I raise an eyebrow at this as she searches for more words. "Well, you how I'm a dog person? Like, how I have Toasty?" I nod. "Well, I'm also a dog-person. With the hyphen, in the middle."

"So... You're a furry? Or is this like a pet-play thing?" I ask, thinking she's just worried about exposing a fetish.

Lena says, voice wavering in a way I would have predicted, "I'm... not entirely... human? I'm... I'm a werewolf." A goddamn werewolf? I turn and just stare at the floor, the same way she had been.

I sigh. "If you didn't really want to have sex with me, you could have just said." She looks shocked.

"I'm being serious!" exclaims Lena. "Want me to show you?" I look back at her and tell her very matter of factly that, yes, if she ever expects me to believe her that she's a werewolf, then I'm going to need proof. Holding eye contact with me, she offered her hands. I watch as they shift from the slightly muscular hands of the butch bartender to a set of furry claws. I jump back, almost falling off the bed. I don't even know what to say.

Lena stares at her hands and replies, "It's a genetic thing, so don't be worried about catching it. This town was made for our kind, a few decades ago. That's why people ask strangers if they're going to the park. It's a total safe zone for us to shift or be in our less-than-human forms. ...I'm sorry, I should have told you, sooner." She can't even look at me. She looks so ashamed. I'm trying to process it all, but nothing is computing, properly.

Slowly, I manage to ask, "Can... Can you always control it, like that, or... you know... Like, does the full moon make you wolf out?"

"I'm in total control, but the pack does get together, during the full moon, for a meeting and other activities. Mostly a midnight run or hunt," Lena explains. I look back down at her hands. They're still the paw-like, furry hands. "February can be a bit hectic, though." She laughs a little at this, but whatever it is goes over my head. Taking everything in, today, must have taken its toll, as this all starts to feel less and less insane. I place my hand on her shoulder and she stiffens.

"I've had... a very rough day, Lena. And I don't know if it's the drinks, the fact I've been so emotionally drained, or the fact that I thought you were a person I was genuinely 100% glad I met, a few minutes ago, but I don't think I care about... any of that," I say, tiredly, gesturing at her claws. She looks up at me, eyes wet with tears she's holding back, like water in a dam.

"You... you really don't mind that I'm..." Her lip quivers and I almost can't help but think it's cute. I give her a soft smile.

"Strangely enough, no." I sigh and replace my hand with my head, resting it on her muscular shoulder. "I just wish you'd saved it for a bit." I can feel her turn her head, a bit. "Not meaning that this was one, but telling a girl you're a werewolf is kind of a second date type thing." Lena bursts out with her hardy laugh, again, wheezing and letting her tears fall. I scoot closer to her and wrap an arm around her waist.

"So... I'll take it you want to keep seeing me?" Lena asks, sniffling and wiping away tears from her eyes and face with her paws.

"Yeah... I want to get to know Lena. But you need to do a couple things, first." She nods, smiling that beautiful smile. "1.) I could use some pajamas, 2.) I want to see your whole body do that, cuz that is so weird and I don't think I'll be able to sleep without seeing how that works, and 3.) you're big spoon." She laughs and leans into me.

She jokes, "Alright, but if you ask me to play fetch, you're sleeping downstairs." I pick my head up and look into her pretty, green eyes. I give her a quick kiss on the cheek and tell her it's a deal. Then, she kisses my forehead and gets up to find me some night time clothes. She hands me a white tank top and a pair of thin, black, cotton pants. As I'm about to excuse myself back to the bathroom, she turns away and pulls her shirt off. She does the same for her sports bar. I can see just how cut she is, now. My eyes linger on her toned back as I set the clothes on her bed. I, similarly, turn away from her, disrobing and watch her out of the corner of my eye, the same way you suspect she is.

As I pull her tank top over my head, I hear the zipper of her jeans come down. I watch with anticipation as Lena slides them over her hips, exposing her red boxers and the straps of the mount she's wearing underneath it. She tosses the jeans onto a chair that seems to house a few articles of "I'll wear those again" clothes as I finish pulling on the pair of pants. She digs in her dresser and pulls out a gray t-shirt and blue, flannel shorts. She casually brings them over to her bed and sets them down, all the while she's smirking, I know she saw my ogling her chest.

"You can look, YN. Wolves are pretty open about their bodies. Can't quite shift well in your clothes and expect them to be in decent shape, after." My eyes are scanning her body and I can practically feel my brain kicking me for not just telling her to shut up and fuck me, after I got out of the bathroom. Her tits are great and the outline of her strap is just... Ugh... "Also... I can smell every time you've been turned on, tonight. Glad I waited for you to be looking, when I did the trash." She winks as my face flushes bright red.

Then, moment of truth, she slides her boxers off. Her mounted dildo springs up from her thigh - dark blue and purple, large, and in a very uncommon shape. Of course the werewolf lesbian has a Bad Dragon. I make a mental note to look for the model, in the morning. Unfortunately, I don't get to enjoy it, before she slides the toy from her hips and puts it in the chest with what looks like more of her gear. Now I can see her well groomed bush. And she's about to get more hairy.

Lena looks at me, nervously, as she steps back to the center of her room, stark naked and asks, "You're ready for this?" I nod, sitting sideways on her bed. I take a deep breath as I watch her. She groans as her body shifts and elongates, growing hairier and more monstrous. I feel my body start to shake with fear, but I don't look away. Her kind eyes change to add tones of rich amber to the forest green. Her chestnut hair covers her body, changing to gray in many places. She's so much taller than me, now. And she has a tail! She looks straight out of a movie. Twilight, eat your heart out.

As I try to speak, Lena rasps out, "There's more." Then, she begins to shrink onto all fours, hands becoming paws, broad chest slimming, and cut muscles becoming less and less defined as a wolf, unrecognizable from any other, now stands in Lena's bedroom. She pads over to me and looks up with the saddest puppy eyes I ever saw, laying her head in my lap. She can definitely feel me still shaking, because she lets out a sad whine. I don't suppose she can talk, like this.

Carefully, I set my hand on her head and her tail starts to wag, ever so slightly. I pet her coarse, yet still fluffy, fur. She's like the husky my friend had, when we were kids. She lets out another whine, looking at me expectantly, but I just stare back. I think to scratch behind her ears and she seems to enjoy it, but shakes her head and takes a step back. I watch as she shifts back, groaning and growing more and more nude, until she's just plain, naked Lena.

"I forget that you can't understand me, like that." Lena walks back around the bed and hikes her boxers back up. She comes back around, pulling her shirt on and squats in front of me. "Are you alright? I know that seeing that is a lot, the first time." I put my hand back on her head and just play with her hair. She sighs and stands up, crawling onto the bed and pacing herself at the center. Her arms are open and she motions for me to come closer. I do, sitting between her legs as she wraps me in a warm hug. She sways and hums one of the songs that had been playing at the bar. I hardly even register it, when I start to cry. It feels like my body is just all of a sudden racked with sobs as I cry against her.

"It's alright, YN. It's going to be alright. I've got you." Three little words to make you feel at home. Two strong arms to hold you together. Lena feels like the one person in the whole world with both, and she is, right now. "I don't know what all you're going through, right now, or how much I've just added to all of the things on your mind, but I'm right here, for you, YN. I'm right here." She continues swaying and rocking me until I can't cry anymore. She wipes my teary face either thumbs and holds my cheeks in her hands, until I look at her.

"That's it. It's going to be ok. Want me to grab you some tissues? There's a box right over there." She jerks her head over to her right. I nod and she leans back, stretching out. She comes back with a small box of Kleenex and I take one, blowing my nose, loudly. She rubs my back and just sits, patiently waiting. After a few more tissues and a few more lingering hiccups of sobs, I'm left puffy-eyed and all cried out, leaning into Lena's warm hug.

"I think it's time to get some rest. We'll figure this out, in the morning, alright?" Lena softly asks. I nod against her chest. She scoots back, leading me with her hand, as I crawl behind her. "Ok. Let's just scoot back, here, and get comfortable and we can fall asleep, when you're ready. Come here." She pulls back the comforter and tosses the decorative pillows off the end of the bed. Lena, then, pulls the covers over both of our laps, as I lean into her, finding comfort in her warmth.

"Lena?" I whimper, trying to find my voice.

"Yeah?"

"This is all real, right now?"

"I'm afraid it is." I nod. "Is there anything I can do for you, YN? Anything at all that would help you though this?" She sounds so sincere, almost pleading.

"Just... Don't... Don't let me go. Okay? Promise me that."

Lena's face softens and she kisses me on the top of my head. "YN, when I said that thing about not doing one night stands, I meant it. There's nothing set in stone, but I trust my instincts and they're completely drawn to you. Wolves mate for life."

"I know this sounds weird, but haven't you had partners, before? You seem so confident and practiced." She laughs through her nose.

"I've had a few standing partners, but those relationships were for mutual physical needs. I'm twenty-seven and it's a bitch to be as horny as wolves can get, without having an outlet. Mostly women, but one was nonbinary," Lena explains, gently, rubbing my arm with her thumb.

"Men, but mostly because I was unsure. Looking at you... I don't know, it was just different." She nods along.

"It can feel like that, sometimes. And it's ok to feel unsure." Lena rests her chin in my head. "Also, and I hate to do this, but I'm going to run downstairs and let Toasty out, for just a second. I'll be right back, ok?"

I nod and reply, "Yeah, go ahead." She kisses the top of my head, before slipping out of the bed, putting on her shorts, and telling me she'll be right back, before disappearing out the door. I head to the bathroom, myself, while she's gone. Checking my phone once more, finding nothing but random notifications, before grabbing it and plugging it in next to the bed, for the night. I swipe away all of the notifications for calls and texts from Caleb, the fear of that whole situation feeling like a distant memory. I take a chance to look at his messages, all the same as they've been during previous fights. I know I have to go back to my apartment, tomorrow, to assess the damage.

When I hear Lena coming back up the stairs I shut my phone off and set it back down. She flicks the light off and climbs back into her bed to snuggle up to me.

"Can I ask one more big favor?" I ask.

"Anything."

"Can I come back, tomorrow? Stay a while?"

"Nothing would make me happier. Stay as long as you'd like. Preferably forever, but..." she jokes. I laugh and that makes her smile. "Aww, there's that cute laugh. ...Alright, now. It's been a long day and it's getting really late. We'll get you all settled, tomorrow. I already told Vix, that I'm not going to be in, tomorrow, anyways." Lena holds me close as she prepares to fall asleep. With the weight of everything, both being away from Caleb and from everything since I entered Lena's house, I fall asleep almost immediately. I barely make out Lena's, "Goodnight, YN," as I fade into the darkness of sleep, dreamless and safe.

Weirder date

Pt. 1 here

Allie couldn't believe she hadn't flaked out of today's shift, knowing that that worm lady would probably come fetch her for their date any moment now. But here she was. She'd agreed to take the night shift for the whole week back when her boss asked for it, and she was asked because they had nobody else but Jeremy available - and Jeremy had debated himself different schedules yesterday morning because he wasn't willing to screw up his sleeping schedule. He was much ballsier than Allie, for sure. She couldn't have brought herself to go to their boss' face and also ask to reschedule right after Jeremy. So she'd resigned herself to this fate.

Technically, she could be called the ballsy one here. While Jeremy got to spend time with his (presumably) perfectly ordinary boyfriend, Allie would be meeting some worm monstrosity late at night, alone. Her mouth felt dry as she sat behind the counter, not even feeling like mopping or anything. The crew that had come during the day had unfortunately been subjected to Margaretta's whole worm takeover in the freezer. She wasn't sure how well they'd handled it. She didn't feel like going to check. She anxiously awaited for her escort, watching the clock every few minutes, sitting on her ass. Because if there was something scheduled for soon, but not now, she couldn't bring herself to mentally start any other task. Especially not with this kind of thing approaching. Oh God.

She bounced her leg. Despite the completely wacky situation, she had actually showered before coming to work, done her hair like, at least a little decently, and put on nicer clothes. She had a hoodie that when open, passed more for a jacket, than something a lazy person would lounge in all the time because it's comfy. And one of her favorite shirts, the one with a print of a honeybee, captioned "Honey-beeyatch". Since she already kinda agreed to this whole thing, intentionally or not, might as well, right? As batshit as it felt to go on a date with a worm person, it would've felt just as ridiculous to, you know, not. If you get invited out by an otherworldly monstrosity, how are you supposed to just walk away from that, huh? Aren't you curious? Wouldn't you wanna know what lies beyond the ordinary? Could you live with yourself, and the questions never to be answered?

Besides, it was possible that if she flaked out on their date, Allie would be hunted down by some very angry worms. She didn't want that. Even if she did end up killed during the date, at least she was going out with style. At least she did something interesting in her life.

Style. Allie looked at her shirt. Would the joke land, with a worm person? Was it stupid? It was stupid. Goddammit. She sighed heavily and faceplanted onto the counter. This was her life now, huh? There was a knock on the door to the kitchen. From the inside, of course. Allie jolted up, clumsily searching up her bag in her hand, which she hadn't left any further than arm's reach. She swallowed, mouth not feeling any less dry.

"Miss Allie..?" a familiar voice gurgled from behind the door. She was really here. Allie took a deep breath, collected whatever composure she still had, and walked in to open the door.

"Heyyyyy Margeeee..." Allie slipped out, giving her awkward finger guns as she'd gotten the door open. She wanted to facepalm at herself but she didn't do too well under pressure. Not socially, at least. Maybe worms had different ideas about what's lame and what isn't. Suddenly she felt curious about that thought. Margaretta giggled, hicking a little. "Awh oh my, you charmer, giving me nicknames already? That's quite bold of you.." she said, holding her cheek shyly. Madame Wormstress had oddly humanlike mannerisms, now that she thought about it. Or maybe just some of it, they'd just met like yesterday, who knows what else she'd learn about this strange lady.

"Ah well, I mean.. It's not everyday you get to go on a date with a worm, right? Not for me at least, I dunno how.. Common that is for.. You" Allie scratched the back of her palm. "Oh well my love life hasn't been too exciting as of late.. I mostly interact with my personal community, whenever I roam human lands I tend to be warded off rather than helped like you did.." Margaretta twirled her bow - an accessory Allie now noticed. It was kinda cute... And made of skin. Okay.

But that did explain why she hadn't come through the front door of the gas station in the first place, even if she knew the place to be unoccupied. Or maybe it was common stuff for monsters to just not come in through the front door, that could be really risky. "Right.." Allie felt awkward at the fact that in the end, she hadn't even intentionally pulled Margaretta out of the junk. She'd been startled, but man if she didn't have some strength when startled, apparently..

"Shall we be off then?" Margaretta asked, perking up. She offered her arm to hold, in a sort of chivalrous way. Allie's heart jumped at whether or not she'd dare to take the arm, but figuring she shouldn't be rude, she placed her hand on it ever so lightly. It was covered in a thick layer of mucus. She made an awkward little chortle, shuddering at the sensation. Ever hold a raw fish? It's like that, but flabby. "Wow you uh.. You're moist, aren't you?" Allie noted half aloud as they walked through the kitchen and backrooms, all the way to the backdoor, left ajar by a few impressively strong worms that held it parted. Margaretta squirmed, pleased to hear it apparently. "Oh well it's just a little something for the date, it's been so long I thought I'd pretty up a bit, you know?" she narrated as they stepped out into the dark night. Allie had literally no clue where they'd be going, this gas station was by a highway, the backdoor led to the middle of nowhere. Factory sites, maybe?

Pretty up, huh? She stroked her fingers along Margarettas slimy skin. Was that.. A thing, for worms? Surely, this was something that was considered, like, attractive, in the worm world. Makes sense obviously. That's kinda neat. "Ahh.. Right. Uh well it's-it's very.." Allie grasped at straws. ".. Viscous..." she finally came up with. Margaretta hummed, tilting her headworm to Allie's direction. It was a bit too dark to tell, but she figured that was a positive reaction, based on her tone of voice.

"Woah wait, where are we?" Allie snapped out of her thoughts, feeling like she'd woken up from a dream, as the landscape suddenly looked way different. Did Margaretta have some worm toxins on her skin, or did they teleport? Or did Allie just not know her home town as well as she thought..

"Oh i thought we could go on a nice little picnic out here, isn't it just beautiful? The soggy ground, lush plantation, damp air.. There's not even that many flies here currently, it's hunting season for the local spiders. See I don't like very much noise or air vibration, makes it much harder to perceive things you know.." Margaretta explained as if this was a great spot to literally sit on the ground. Maybe for a worm, but Allie wasn't very happy about her good jeans potentially getting muddy. She gritted her teeth. "Ahmm that's neat, where did you plan for us to sit..?" Margaretta wiggled the lower half of her body - the worm part, around to feel the environment. She didn't see very well, did she? Allie looked into her empty eyesockets and felt her stomach turn. Was the humanoid body just a vessel for the worm parts to use? It was full of holes on the torso, and Allie felt a little lightheaded upon seeing the smallest hint of a maggot clearly move under there. She suddenly didn't feel too confident about holding onto Margarettas arm anymore.

As the worm lady settled comfortably on the ground, making lots of sloshing sounds, Allie still stood there, sneakers wet. Welp. She took off her hoodie, beginning to place it down on the grimy ground, but Margaretta stopped her. "Hey now don't ruin your lovely jacket!" she exclaimed with pity in her voice. Allie paused. "Hey so, this place is real cool, but like. Humans kinda don't naturally gravitate to, like, the wet and grimy..?" she explained awkwardly. "I'm sorry, really, but like, my clothes are gonna get wet and then I'd probably be cold.." she stuttered, hoping this wasn't offending Margaretta. The worm looked a bit melancholic, as if realizing that too, only now. "Oh dear, how inconsiderate of me.. No wonder the insides of your nests are all smooth surfaced and dry. They're so terribly open and bright.." she mused quietly, pondering. She scrunched her humanoid face with her claws for a bit. "Well, would sitting on my tail be any better..?" Margaretta asked unsurely. Allie looked over the long, line covered form sprawled out on the ground around her. So it was either slimy or wet. Her two options. She huffed in grim amusement at her ridiculous scenario.

"So like I'd be sitting on your lap on the first date, pretty much, huh? I guess that's better than the soaked moss.." Allie quipped, making Margaretta vibrate strangely. That was odd. Allie felt dumb about the comment for a second. "Krhm, sorry.."

Margaretta groaned in a squeaky voice. "No no, I'm sorry, I should've gotten to know you better ahead of time, I was so jazzed for our date that I completely forgot to consider what humans are like.." she sighed. Allie bit her lip. "Ohh, no it's.. It's okay, why don't we just..." she trailed off, not even knowing what to suggest. "Um well hey, you brought the food, right? I'll just stand for now, I guess, but you could introduce the menu for me?" she suggested, trying to salvage the situation. Margaretta huffed pointedly, getting up from the comfy spread she'd settled into. "Well I won't just lay around then, if you have to stand up, I'll stand up too! This is no way to treat such a charming and considerate human!" she exclaimed, beginning to take out a bag that Allie didn't even know she had until now. Her heart was a little warmed by her sentiment, in all honesty, it was very adorable of the worm. "Thanks but, you don't have to feel like, indebted to me or anything.." Allie replied but it got lost in her looking at what the maggoty maiden pulled out of her bag. One box, one bottle, two cups, and several thick slabs of raw meat. "Woah, what's in the box?" she asked as Margaretta set down the bottle and cups for now. "Ah, it's dessert. No sweets before dinner!" she replied in a bubbly manner. Allie couldn't help a smile. Then she realized that dinner was probably meant to be those fat honks of raw meat. "Oh uh, is that, dinner then? Like, uncooked..?" she asked hesitantly, really wishing Margaretta wouldn't get more upset at this. ".. Yes? Humans are omnivores, correct?" the worm asked, confused. Allie sucked in air through her teeth. "Umm yes but see.. It's not really safe to eat raw meat.. For us.. Maybe if it was dried and salted?" she explained, hating the look of disappointment on her date's face.

"Oh." Margaretta deflated. Allie fidgeted with the edge of her hoodie. The maggot lady perked up again, looking almost frustrated, but determined. "Alright well, dessert it is then, this has to be human safe, I got it as leftovers from a very knowledgeable monster who has raised multiple! It's even in a box, untouched by maggots!" she said, opening the little plastic container and handing it to Allie. Her eyes lit up upon realizing what it was. "Wait no way is this blueberry pie??" she exclaimed in disbelief. Allie took out a slice once Margaretta nodded firmly, a big smile spreading on her face. "Yo I haven't eaten this in so long, my grandma used to make it.." she examined the slice, just in case, rotating it in her hand. It looked legit, if not sat in the box for a bit. It was still fresh enough to eat for sure, Allie had had worse from the back of her fridge..

The picnic went fine, even standing. Allie scarfed down the blueberry pie by herself (feeling a tad bit guilty, although her date insisted she eat it by herself for fairness' sake), and Margaretta consuming parts of the meat by herself and other parts feeding to - what Allie had guessed correctly, maggots living inside her torso. Maybe it was like symbiosis. Or her babies. Nature is weird anyway. Allie had talked about her grandma more extensively, because of the blueberry pie of course. Margaretta had taken a big interest in humans, which in this case involved alot of talking about Allie, considering she was the human one of them.

"Right, but, why don't you tell me about yourself a bit more? Like do you live with worms? Other bugs..?" Allie asked once she felt done talking about herself. She really wasn't that interesting, except maybe for a worm who didn't know humans intimately. Because in that case, she was the perfect specimen of an average human being. "Oh, well mostly yes.. But my um, I guess family you could say-" Margaretta started.

"The personal community you mentioned?" Allie stuck in.

"Yes, that!" the worm chirped, happy she'd remembered. Allie congratulated herself for the successful bonding interaction. "Whenever I'm not in my own little corner, I work with lots of other entities.." Margaretta explained. "Oh, what do you do then?" Allie asked, now remembering that the worm probably still thinks she owns a food business. "A variety of things, really, but lots of it has to do with human interaction. For me particularly, food is a big part of it, see I'm tasked with finding sustenance for our court, so to speak.." Margaretta continued, rousing Allie's curiosity more. She's kinda getting a little peek into the monster world here, not something every human would get to experience. Of course, she admitted that she was starting to find Margaretta herself pretty pleasant company too, and realized she wasn't in on this simply for the heck of it anymore. But the mystery and intrigue added to it for sure.

"Court? Sounds official, is that why you're called Madame?" Allie asked, stretching her legs. Fortunately they were trained to stand for numbing amounts of time via customer service or cleaning work, daily. Margaretta looked.. Awkward, for a moment. She spoke quieter "It's not really as official as it sounds, we're only figuratively a court. If you ask me, it's all kind of a big mess of monsters who all wreak havoc as they please, only sort of reeled in occasionally by our mistress..." she explained with a bit of humorous embarrassment, and Allie was starting to understand why Margaretta was so pleased to get to go out for once. She nodded slowly a few times.

"And the Mistress is like.. Your boss, or?" Allie added. Margaretta shrugged one of her shoulders in a sort of agreeable manner. "Our leader yes, I suppose. She's most of our creator at least so it would be a sensible assumption.." she mused outloud. Hold on.

"Creator?" Allie repeated in mild disbelief. Right, maybe worm monsters didn't exist naturally afterall. The thought felt disappointing for some reason. Margaretta nodded. Allie paused for a bit, wondering where to continue from there. "Is she.. Also a bug..?" she asked, hesitantly. Margaretta hummed in mild amusement, shaking her head. "No no, that's just me and my spawn. Though I wouldn't find it impossible for there to be other monsters like me.." she explained. Spawn?

".. You have kids?" Allie asked after a few seconds' pause. Margaretta gurgled a bit avoidantly. "I wouldn't.. Call them that necessarily, they're still family but, it's different I suppose.. I did wish to have children one day, though.." she seemed a bit shy about it and Allie realized that was probably a pretty damn intimate question for a first date. Or would it be reasonable to get out of the way? She wouldn't necessarily mind dating a single mom. Assuming - she reminded herself, that they were to start actually, Yknow, dating. She felt her cheeks flush a bit. The thought felt concerningly fine at this point in the date. Was she really that starved for intimacy? A worm monster, really? She looked at Margaretta straightening up her bow coyly. Maybe she was also lonely? I mean it couldn't be a very common occurrence for a monster to go out with a normal human right? Allie sunk in her thoughts for a bit. Was this considered taboo? Putting aside the obvious horror factor, she wondered, was it looked down upon to be involved with a human? Would Margaretta be called a loser by her court for this, if they found out?

"And.. How about you then..?" her thoughts were interrupted by the worm lady continuing off of their last point in conversation. Allie shook her head mildly and hummed in confusion, having lost focus. "Did you ever think of having kids..?" Margaretta clarified, noticing her dumbfoundedness. Allie felt herself sweat, no doubt made worse by the damp air. This is definitely one of those dealbreaker questions, isn't it? She stalled on her feet. "Ummmm.. I.. I have thought of it, I guess..?" she got out, technically not lying. At most, she'd had a cat some years ago but was forced to give it away due to her landlord setting some new rules for the apartment complex she lived in. She still missed Cheez-it sometimes. It lived at her mother's, though, but still. "Like I'm probably not.. In the right situation financially, but like. I dunno, I'm not opposed to it?" Allie continued unsurely, though doubting she'd make a great mom. She thought back to when she occasionally saw her old college friends on Facebook, announcing weddings, or new pregnancies, and wondered how people ever knew when they were supposed to be ready.

She looked back to a nodding Margaretta, until her expression changed suddenly. "Oh hey, is something wrong..?" Allie started, before noticing a large shadow spring past the moon. The sky was clear otherwise, so it wasn't hard to notice. "What was that?" she asked, feeling her pulse pick up. Margaretta's head worm curled up closer to her body as she started tensely glancing towards the skies. Would she really see that far, though? The worm's pitch black little button eyes only carried so far. Margaretta sighed in frustration. "Interrupting our date like that.." she grumbled, starting to move from her spot. Before Allie had the chance to ask again, she was taken by the arm as Margaretta began to guide her back the way they came.

"I apologize for that dear, I'm afraid I must get going soon. I shall accompany you back to your establishment though." the worm monster explained gloomily. "Okay.." Allie replied tensely. "Something going on?" Margaretta stayed quiet.

"Marge? Are we in danger?" Allie asked after they'd traveled for another moment. The night was getting cold, and dark. The dampness had seeped into every crevice of her body and clothing and she was shivering, though part of it was definitely anxiety. She tried not to let it show but couldn't help blurting out the question. She was reminded of what a huge risk she'd taken by coming along at all. Margaretta scooped her body closer to hers gently, but her slimy frame made Allie shudder nonetheless. "Work calls, unfortunately. It should be fine, I'll just take you back to where you belong." she assured. Where I belong? Allie wondered. Odd choice of words. Were they on monster lands then? To be fair it was probably a bit far from human inhabitance. A breeze blew through them, and in a blink, something huge flew overhead with enough force to rattle the trees around them, making Allie almost fall over. Margaretta held onto her tighter, ducking her head for a bit, then extending her wormy body to peer up somewhere at the skies again. "I say, the nerve.." she grumbled with increased agitation

They both ducked this time, as another massive gust of wind charged through the trees and plantation, making sloshy sounds as it blew into the wet moss. This time, Allie caught a glance of some white-feathered giant. It flew past them much lower than before. "Marge?" Allie gasped, voice now becoming shrill with shock, her heart drumming in her chest. "Just keep walking, but don't make a sound, please." Margaretta said in a hushed voice, a low hiss coming all the way down from her gut. It sounded half commanding and half worried and Allie wasn't sure which part of it was worse. Her mind sprang back to those thoughts about a human and monster being together, if it was considered lame - or even outright bad, as they now seemingly had someone on their tails. Someone Allie was guessing must've been part of Margaretta's so called court. Someone who didn't seem too courteous towards the worm lady thus far..

Margaretta walked Allie forward, holding her ears closed for her with her keratinous hands. They pressed onto her soft ears sorely but Allie didn't have the gall to protest, fearing it might be her hearing - or safety on the line. The landscape wasn't starting to look any more familiar despite the fact that Allie could swear they'd already reached their destination in this time when they first came. Maybe it felt longer thanks to the stomach freezing terror? Allie's armpits were pooling with cold sweat and she could hear her heart beating vigorously in her ears, especially aided by Margaretta holding them shut so tightly. She was afraid to wonder why that might be..

Suddenly she felt - not heard, but felt, a thud behind them. It resonated through the mushy ground as small waves. Allie's knees almost buckled as a sting of terror shot up her spine but Margaretta right by her kept them both going forward, despite her partially stumbling back into the worm woman's squishy voluptuous torso. Any revulsion towards the maggot infested body Allie might've had was pushed off by her survival instincts. She heard Margaretta speak something, to someone other than her, but couldn't properly make out what. Allie was sure the entity was following them at this point, as after a few moments of silence Margaretta seemed to reply something to it. Allie hoped it was far behind and not like, right up their asses, since she didn't hear anything the other one had said. They kept walking for what felt like too long, but eventually Allie became aware of the gas station's lights in the distance and she felt slight relief wash over her. Only slight, because she was still like 90% sure the other entity was following them. She swallowed, her throat feeling choked.

Finally, mercifully, they got to the backdoor and Allie didn't hesitate a second in opening it, beyond thankful it was left unlocked. Margaretta was about to accompany her inside but she flinched away for whatever reason, jolting back in a reactionary manner that left Allie's ears open once again. Open to hear her squeak in pain, and Allie quickly turned back to look at what had caused it.

Her eyes followed Margaretta up her headworm, the tip of which was being clamped on by a boney white beak. The porch light partially illuminated a dirty skull, belonging to a massive bird creature. And by massive, we're talking like pterodactyl sizes here, it's one talon was easily half the length of Allie's entire arm. Within the beak though, weirdly, was a mouth with actual mammalian teeth, on a brown snout with no eyes in sight, as they were likely lost inside the bird skull. It's eyeholes were devoid of anything but darkness however. On the body, beyond being covered in white feathers, there were fleshy sacks here and there, throat and chest mostly. The wings were huge, partially folded but flapping lightly as the creature tried to pull Margaretta back despite her struggles. The actual mouth inside the beak was articulating through it's bloody, cracked lips, despite no sound being emitted in the slightest. Allie almost fell back against the doorframe in shock, letting out a startled "What the fuck??" in the process. Her heart sunk in horror to realise the creature being alerted to her by the sound, it's empty eyeholes turning to look at her as it let go of Margaretta. The second it took another hurried step towards her, charging at the door, Allie fell back and slammed the door shut, holding it closed with all her might as it was being clawed and pecked from the outside with frightening vigor. She felt gross for leaving Margaretta back there with the creature, despite them apparently knowing each other already. She didn't have time to wonder why it'd started pecking her, as she heard the worm lady's voice ring through the door.

"Open open, come come out!"

it sang, the voice clear and strong despite the shut door between them. It filled Allie's ears, the voice almost crawling inside her head in an uncomfortably intrusive way. Despite sounding perfectly identical to her, Allie was sure this could not have been Margaretta. The slamming had stopped for that moment but as it was done being said, Allie was caught slightly off guard by a new, harsher thud, making a dent in the door, though not going through it entirely, which Allie was thankful for. Must've been the beak. "Allie, don't listen-!" she heard Margaretta screech outside, being certain this one was actually her, as the voice was unfortunately muffled out soon after. "Marge!? Are you okay?" Allie yelled back in a panic. After a moment of silence, followed up by guttural coughing, Margaretta replied hoarsely. "Yes, just don't let her in, okay, stay safe please, I'm sorry for all this trouble! I'll be back to check on you, I promise!"

Allie swallowed. "Okay.." she replied, though barely loud enough, as the door slamming suddenly let up, and in a moment or two it was deathly silent. She wheezed under her breath, trying to level her breathing in fear. She didn't find the keys to the backdoor in a rush so she decided to barricade the door, just in case. Then she waited.

It was unclear how long had passed, as Allie awoke from a messy sleep (or perhaps having passed out from the stress), hunched over in the corner of the kitchen. She heard her barricade being pushed back, scratching at the door, and felt a growing panic again as she hurried to it with a broom she'd grabbed for self defense. She was relieved to see the clawed hand - which was prying the door open, belonging to Margaretta. "Allie? Are you still there?" she called, concerned. "Y-yeah, hey, hold on.." Allie replied, going to weakly move the barriers off. Her arms felt like limp noodles, having trembled throughout her time waiting here. She was overall lightheaded.

As soon as Margaretta made it inside she rushed to embrace Allie, and though she shivered, she didn't have the energy to feel grossed out by her anymore. Allie felt tripped the hell out to notice the first rays of morning sun settling onto the backyard through the open door. That fuckery had really taken the whole night, huh?

"Are you alright? She didn't come back I assume, did anyone else stop by? Anyone nonhuman?" Margaretta asked with concern, holding Allie by the shoulders. Her head reeled, trying to think back, but she was sure if something had happened between now and then she'd definitely remember it by now. "Uh, n-no, I just waited here like you told me. I don't think anyone came here.." she sputtered clumsily, rubbing her eyes. They stung of exhaustion, after such a horrible nap on the floor. "Ah thank goodness, I was having such a lovely time with you, I was worried that.. Well.." Margaretta replied, voice declining towards the end. So, Allie had now survived a monster date.

"Wait you did?" Allie paused to register the worm's words of appreciation. Margaretta let go of her shoulders awkwardly, seeming coy. "Well yes, certainly, you're a very kind and non judgemental human, I'm so happy to have made your acquaintance! I'm only very sorry to, have made your night such a stressful one towards the end, I say, some monsters have no manners.." she exposited with disappointment. "The uh.. The bird, right?" Allie confirmed, still processing the encounter. Objectively speaking, Margaretta was the more horrifying one here but the sheer size and strength of the feathery creature had almost made Allie piss herself. "Mhm, Pesticinger. We work together often" Margaretta nodded as response.

"Pest.. Ah.. Right." Allie cleared up her throat. She wasn't entirely sure what she thought of the whole experience as of now. It sure happened. "I recommend you don't come here again for a few days, week maybe.. Just to be safe" Margaretta continued as Allie gathered herself again. "Huh?"

Margaretta became even more apologetic. "Now that she knows of a place like this, full of food and resources, I feel that she may come back here to pillage it. I wouldn't want you to be here for that, and besides, you deserve a rest." she explained. Welp. Her coworkers might just be screwed. She'd have to call Jeremy at least. Maybe her shock could pass for being sick or something, if she explained it to her boss convincingly enough. No, wait, Allie thought. The damage at the door. She could tell them there'd been a robbery attempt. No, but then they'd try to involve the police, and people would more likely just be here more. She sighed as she ran out of braincells for today.

"Yeah, okay. I'll take a vacay.."

Female siren using readers pussy as an incubator for her eggs please?

Your lover cooed softly, nuzzling her face into your neck as her hand traced over your bulging belly.

“Thank you for keeping my young warm, my beloved…” she said in her smooth, elegant voice. “They are safe here, with you…”

You let out a little sigh, relaxing in the small pool of salt water. “I’d hope so, you’ve been keeping all of the predators away from this cave.”

She laughed, butting her head against your neck affectionately. “But of course… anything to keep you and our young safe…”

You tried not to look at the human skeletons littering the bottom of the pool, instead focusing on your girlfriend’s fingers playing with your sensitive clit.

“So lovely…” she purred, leaving kissing along your neck as one of her webbed fingers pushed into your needy cunt. “Even more lovely now that you’re carrying my eggs…”

She seemed to adore your chubby belly before, but went crazy over how it bulged with her eggs now. She cooed and fussed over you, licking your neck and cheeks affectionally before going back to pleasuring you.

“My sweetheart, all I could ever need…”

Yandere Short Stories:

A Dragon’s Treasure

Yandere Lesbian Dragon x Shy Princess Reader

The Emerald Calamity. The Green Inferno. The Jade Death. All of these titles belonged to a feared, emerald dragon by the name of Cahira. She was one of the few dragons that lived in the land and yet she didn’t often pillage villages to earn those titles. No. She only decimated kingdoms for their jewels… for her princess.

Cahira’s true interest lied in the happiness of princess (your name), a woman so beautiful that anyone could fall in love with a single glance? Cahira was instantly enthralled with the idea of the princess. How could a dragon resist the tales of such beauty? Cahira simply had to have her… dragons loved treasure after all.

Yet there was a rumor that really caught Cahira’s attention. Supposedly, the princess was in a scandalous relationship with her own maid… yet it ended up with the maid betraying the princess for money. This rumor made Cahira’s heart flutter since she was a sapphic too.

Cahira’s curiosity eventually got the best of her and she flew to (your name)’s kingdom to be sure. And when her golden eyes landed on the meek princess, Cahira was instantly captivated. Cahira had to have the princess! There was no ifs, ands, or buts about Cahira’s decision either. It was her way or death.

It was a year year ago today when Cahira had decided to steal the princess away. Before (your name) could be married off to some foreign royalty. Men couldn’t possibly take care of such a dazzling jewel. They would ruin (your name) because they wouldn’t be able to protect her properly! The princess didn’t deserve to be some concubine when she was queen material! (Your name) was a permanent prize to be attained, so Cahira was far better for her… at least that’s what the dragon told herself.

Cahira had went to the extremes to try to earn her beloved’s favor. Expensive jewels, extravagant meals, and the finest silks were always within her grasp. The finest for the finest, Cahira always insisted. Yet Cahira noticed how the princess would cower in her room. A fact that deeply upset the dragon.

So Cahira went to a witch for a magic necklace that would allow her to transform into a more humanoid form in exchange for a ton of gold. Maybe her beloved would like her more if she was able to touch her better?

And Cahira adored the blush on her princess’s face when she transformed for the first time. It seemed a voluptuous body made (your name) avert her gaze and turn into a tomato… a cute tomato of course! And Cahira couldn’t get enough of teasing her precious princess!

(Your name) was now an irreplaceable treasure that would be forever cherished by her enamored captor! A princess locked up in an inescapable tower in a giant forest far from civilization. A beautifully decorated cage with her gentle dragon! A cushy life perfect for a pampered princess.

A hero would be vacuous to even create a rescue attempt… no matter how much the princess desired freedom, she would never get away. For Cahira had her best interest in mind… and a dragon never loses sight of their treasure.

.

.

.

(Your name) whimpered when Cahira dragged a wet rag down her back while she sat in the large claw tub. Cahira’s voluptuous human form leaned against the edge of the tub, the dragon hummed a low melody to try to ease her beloved’s shyness.

Sharp talons delicately traced shapes on (your name)’s back as Cahira rinsed the suds off the princess’s delicate skin with the green rag. Cahira leaned forward to press a few kisses against the blushing flesh.

“You’re so lovely…” Cahira whispered in (your name)‘s ear, her hot breath made the smaller woman recoil in embarrassment. “You don’t need to hide yourself from me…”

(Your name) still held her arms over her chest, a shiver ran down her spine when Cahira’s golden eyes flicked over her bare body. Despite the two years they’ve been ‘together,’ the princess still wasn’t used to such brazen behavior. (Your name) was simply lucky the bubbles covered up a bit more of her dignity from this lustful beast.

“I’m still a lady…” (your name) squealed when Cahira playfully nipped her neck, a small red marking now on her nape. “Hey!”

“You’re such a prude.” Cahira stood up from the ledge of the tub. The gorgeous woman stretched her olive arms over her horned head and yawned to reveal her sharp fangs. “I’ll let you wash yourself up then. I simply just enjoy indulging my precious princess.”

Cahira then left the bathroom, her hips swayed behind her in a confident manner. Her emerald tail flicked the door shut behind her, finally leaving (your name) to her own devices.

The princess softly sighed and turned her gaze to the full body mirror across from the tub. There was no doubt Cahira pampered her. She was healthy and dressed in the finest silks (ones that were confiscated from traveling merchants).

Cahira often sung (your name)‘s praises during every interaction. The dragon often made every moment feel far too intimate to simply be a relationship between a captor and their victim… a fact which muddled the princess’s thoughts.

Cahira placed hot kisses on (your name)’s body whenever she could and she would loudly proclaim how she adored (your name) with every fiber in her being. She even stated that she’d burn down (your name)’s kingdom to keep the princess at her side forever. A statement the princess truly believed.

(Your name) just didn’t understand what Cahira saw in her… was she really as beautiful as she said?

(Your name) traced a thumb over her lips in thought. A blush enveloped her cheeks when she noticed all the love marks on her skin from Cahira. How naughty…

.

.

.

Cahira hummed while she waited for (your name) to come to bed. Her tail flicked back and forth like a cat, her golden gaze studied the bathroom door in thought. She wondered if her beloved would put on the emerald night slip she had gifted her? Cahira was really excited by the goods she acquired from the latest merchant. It is a shame she didn’t keep him alive, he seemed to have fantastic taste in clothing… oh well! Men are useless anyways.

Cahira perked up when (your name) shyly peaked her head from the doorway. Did her princess wish to remain hidden? How cute!

“C-Cahira, this dress is too… revealing.” (Your name) blushed when Cahira sprung to her feet. The dragon now face to face with the bashful princess.

“Let me see.” Cahira licked her lips when (your name)’s eyes became a bit teary. So cute! Cahira could just eat her…

Cahira pulled (your name)’s hand to try to encourage her to leave the bathroom’s threshold and what a sight to behold… her beloved looked so darling in emerald hues! The same shades of her scales… it was divine.

“You look so beautiful in emerald green.” Cahira pulled (your name) into a tight embrace, which made the princess squeal. “I need to view everything now.”

(Your name) was quickly guided to the bed and thrown onto the plush covers. The princess made an attempt to try to cover her cleavage with her arms, but Cahira easily smacked them away.

“I’m just looking. Don’t be so shy, it tempts me more.” Cahira chuckled at how terrified (your name)’s expression was. “You look so frightened… like you’ve seen a ghost.”

Cahira grasped (your name)’s hands in hers so she could press chaste kisses to her wrists. “I’ve taken on this form for you and I’ve done so much… I just want to admire you.”

(Your name) sniffled when Cahira bent down to press her lips against her teary cheeks. “I want to kiss you… to love you… yet you’re still so frightened of me.”

Cahira sighed before she pulled away to sit on the end of the bed. “I know it will take time, but you’re much safer here. You don’t have to marry some old, demented man or some promiscuous prince. You’d be my one and only.”

Cahira ran a hand through her curly, emerald hair with a sigh. Though her face wasn’t visible, there was no doubt that she had a hurt expression on her beautiful face. “I really like you… no. I love you.”

(Your name) sat up and frowned. Cahira wasn’t necessarily wrong about her statement. Despite being a princess, she had no interest in princes or kings of foreign lands. To be frank, she had planned to runaway with her maid before she found out her maid had deceived her…

Being vulnerable now made (your name) afraid… yet Cahira had never given her a reason to doubt her devotion. Even in grotesque displays, Cahira eliminated every knight and hero that tried to save her just to show (your name), that Cahira would never let anyone take her away… it made (your name)’s heart flutter and made her head spin in confusion.

The princess had never felt wanted like this before. She’s never been pampered and kissed on… Cahira’s affection was all consuming like the poisonous breath she breathed.

Cahira made loving (your name) seem as easy as it was to breathe. Perhaps she should cut Cahira some slack?

Cahira was shocked when she felt soft arms wrap around her body. Cahira’s golden eyes widened in shock when (your name) buried her face into the crock of Cahira’s neck. Her breath hitched at the heart warming sight.

“(Your name)? What are you-“ Cahira blushed when (your name) shyly pressed a kiss on her left cheek. The princess shyly glanced away.

“I… I like you too-“ (your name) was tackled into a hug as Cahira pressed her lips over and over the entirety of (your name)’s face.

“Love you. Love you. Love you.” Cahira replied between each affectionate peck. “We could get married? I could kidnap some human officiant. Or maybe an elven one if you don’t want human! Then I’ll eat him-“

(Your name) pushed her palms up and squished Cahira’s cheeks together in a way that made Cahira kind of look like a fish. A pout now on (your name)’s face.

“You really need to stop eating people.”

“I do it to protect my precious treasure.” Cahira gave her a grin. “I’d eliminate the entire human race for you if you asked that of me. Whatever you desire, I will obtain it for you, my precious princess.”

I don't think y'all truly grasp what fucking a god would be like.

Not only are they beings who can shape reality like clay, but they have such a massively different conception of time, morality, and existence that they become alien to you

For example, let's say you are a normal guy:

One moment you're looking at yourself in the mirror, the next in a quiet field. Before you even have a chance to react, a voice rips through your tissue paper body. It is multilayered, unable to stick to one voice, but is it smooth and alluring and almost feminine.

"I have chosen thee to be my temple." The voice says.

"W...who are you?" You stutter out.

The voice doesn't answer. For a moment you wonder if you've gone insane, then she begins. A thousand hands of light touch you, some delicate and precise, some wild and rough. They grab and grope and tear and claw and brush and pinch and slap all over, all at once. One hand grabs your short hair and forces you to look up in the air and she says:

"Let me show you your purpose."

You are launched in time to a temple, backwards or forwards, you don't know. It is lit by candles, showing that you're at the feet of a massive marble statue of a nude woman. The hands force you to your knees, all while feeling up your boiling body. You look up and only catch a glimpse of her beautiful thighs before you're unstuck in time again.

You feel yourself dragged back to reality. You're in a woman's body, being fucked by two other women in a dingy hotel. One hold the leash to a collar around your neck, the other holding your legs as she fucks you with her dick. The hands are still there and guide you, teasing each moans from your throat and buck of your hips. You've never felt this good ever as you start ascending the mountain of arousal. The collar chokes you enough for a momentary blackout

You're back in the temple, still looking up. You catch a glimpse of her hips, grabbable, with curves in just the right spots. You blink in awe and find yourself in another woman's body, actually no, a robot woman's body. You're connected to a machine made of tech so powerful you can't comprehend by series of wires and plugs throughout your body. A woman, dressed in lab wear smiles, kisses you, and starts the machine. You feel a jolt of pleasure shoot through you. The woman's smile widens, then a notification appears on your HUD

Sensitivity increased 150%

A soft glide teaches down your back and you feel your entire body kicks in response. You ascend further up, climbing step after step towards orgasm. Each touch the machine simulates makes you skip ten steps. The woman's laughs at you makes you skip more. The heat is unbearable, your fans spinning at Max speed, their noise filling the background. You get a warning notification about overheating and you're back at the temple.

The hands keep your arousal steady as the hand tilts your head further up still. You're enraptured by the most perfect pair of tits you have ever seen. The last bit of thought you we're holding onto is wiped away by their glory. But before you can properly worship them, you're thrown back in time.

You're in another temple, hazy and thick with the perfume of incense. You're in a priestess' body slick with oil, prepared to worship your goddess with your other priestesses. You look around and see the rest of your order staring at you and approach. After a long moment, you realize that you're the offering. The other women attack you with kisses and teeth and hands and nails in just the right spots. Each blow brings you closer to the peak. They pin you down and begin fucking you with their trained tongues and you blank out. You're so close now you can see the peak. You pray to just be allowed to reach it.

You're set back to the temple again and with one swift yank of your long hair, brings your eyes to the statues face.

It's you.

You don't know how you know. It looks nothing like you, but it's you. And you're gorgeous you can feel the orgasm coming, it's so so so so close now. The world stops, your body freezes.

You find yourself stuck one step before the peak, staring at your beautiful features and unable to do anything about it. You're stuck there for a long time. An hour? A year? A Millennia? A second? You don't know. But by the end, you're asking Her to let you cum. She responds:

"Do you know your purpose?"

"Yes... Goddess," you pant out. "As your temple... Where your followers... Worship you"

"Good Girl" She says.

Those two words bring you over the edge and you find yourself cumming harder than you've ever done before. Each convulsion rips away a part of your past life, what you ate for breakfast, your job, your hobbies, your name. If you could think through the tsunami of pleasure, you wouldn't care. Goddess will provide, she always will. But for now, you are drowning in devotional ecstasy.

After an eternity, you finally feel the afterglow bleed in. The hands let go and you collapse to the floor, letting the darkness consume you.

You wake up on the bathroom floor and groan. Was it really just a dream? You get up and look in the mirror and see you. Not the fake you that you wore before, but the you Goddess crafted, her masterpiece. You smile and dance in your body, that statue turned flesh, and laugh a beautiful laugh to celebrate and thank Her.

"You know your purpose and are trained in it," She says in the back of your mind. "Begin."

"Yes Goddess"

You leave the bathroom and begin your new life. After all, what's a god without her temple?

Weird finds in the freezer

Allie dipped the mop in it's bucket, lazily swiping it across the tiles. With the amount of cleaning she did here, she might've just as well become a housekeeper or something, probably paid better than working at a gas station. But she wasn't particularly attractive so maybe a sexy maid wasn't her calling in life afterall, and she was perfectly content with that. She didn't hate the way she looked either. To be honest she couldn't have cared less. Her thoughts wandered as she brought the mushy mop back to it's bucket, sloshing it in there. The water was starting to look gross. A little dirt soup. Looked about similar to their deep frying bowls after a long day.

Or cages? Whatever those were called.

She should change the water by this point. She didn't feel like it but she went back to the kitchen anyway, sloppily drizzling a few drops from the heavy bucket on the floor as she went. She'd clean the whole floor eventually what's a few more splashes. It's all water anyway.

She grunted with effort as her twiggy arms lifted the bucket over the huge sink, pouring the murky water into it in one huge wave. It probably wasn't the most graceful way to go about it, but it was late. Jeremy had left her to clean up at around midnight so that was at least an hour ago by this point, she thought, seeing as her watch said 1am. I mean he was a slacker but who wasn't, right? He'd covered up for her spilling the cooking oil that one time so she felt fair letting him leave early to make it home before his boyfriend went to bed.

Before she could open the tap to pour in fresh water, Allie stopped to listen to her surroundings. She wasn't jumpy, but she could've sworn that was the distinct sound of their freezer slamming shut. She stay there frozen for a moment just in case she'd just imagined the whole thing. Faint scratching, knocking, screeching. Okay, yeah there was someone in there. She hoped it wasn't a burglar, but if it was, she also hoped they'd be thankful enough to be rescued that they'd take the money and leave quietly without threatening her.

Allie snuck deeper into the kitchen, the part where they stored the food. There were scattered, mostly emptied boxes of food packaging. Most of it was left untouched beyond being taken out of the boxes, for some reason. Maybe this was just a hungry homeless person. One who seemingly didn't care much for canned beans. She carefully peeked inside the freezer through the window in it's door. It was frosted all smudgy so, big fucking help that was. Allie stalled on her feet nervously. She'd have to talk to some complete stranger, yay.. She took a deep breath and grabbed the handle. Confidence, Allie, be cool!

The door opened, not being locked - obviously, since someone got in already, but it was heavy. Maybe too heavy for a hypothetically very desperate homeless person. Not that she was judging, she'd probably do the same. Although she'd probably have taken the canned goods and left, since those were already meant to stay edible for long enough to survive an apocalypse or something. Whatever. The cold air hit her face, making her whole body shiver. Luckily, as soon as fall started, she'd switched to sweaters. To be fair she still wore hoodies and sweatpants round the year..

"Hello..?" she called out to the dim freezer, searching up the light switch. Some shelves were completely knocked over, boxes everywhere, without even mentioning the food. Luckily Allie recognised the raw patties and bacon strips, before she'd get to freak out about potentially having a dead body in there. It was possible, she didn't venture to the freezer that often, but even so, the shelf collapse could've at least injured the image of an apparently very frail homeless person that Allie had conjured up to be their assumed break-in. Not that she was judging that either, she was pretty skinny, but not in like the cute anime girl way, but like, a starved college student that she hadn't technically been in at least four years now. Maybe. Was college that far ago already?

"Huuugh.." she heard a pained groan, along with some rattling amongst the piles of junk, and was worried that she had to consider for a moment whether it was human or not. She saw fat white maggots beginning to crawl out from the various meats that had splattered on the floor, and she grimaced in disgust. She skipped past the maggot infested foods on the floor, and reached in to lift some fallen boxes off of the heap, which was squirming. "You okay in there? Need a hand?" She asked tentatively, slowly thinking more and more that she was basically in a horror story setup. She pushed it away, hoping this would, at most, end up as some creepy podcast story shared on the internet that nobody would believe anyway. Despite that she offered her hand.

What she didn't expect grabbing it, was a keratinous claw with four long, hooked fingers, skinny but leading up to an increasingly fatty arm, and she gasped between clamped teeth as she tried to recoil from it's grip. In her moment of panic, Allie stumbled back from the junkheap, slipping on the moist raw meats on the floor and falling sorely on her ass. The claw having a tight grip on her little human hand ensured the fact that while she did trip, she also pulled out a puffy faced, reddened humanoid, although only in the vaguest appearance, as the creature resembled more like a melted wax sculpture, except made out of naked pink flesh and it's upper torso filled with disgusting clusters of holes. Allie shrieked as the massive fat creature fell partially onto her knees, letting out a little oomph as it began to crawl the rest of the way out of the junk.

She froze in place, getting a better look at the thing as it started straightening it's long body before her. Beginning from the head which looked as if it was being devoured by a massive worm, teeth clung to the humanoid's temples, with a raw scarred face containing empty eyesockets. The body had fatty flaps which sort of resembled a vaguely feminine human, at least if talking about the generous curves, but from the hips down the body was all worm. Wrinkly, slimy, flabby, segmented, writhing worm. The creature towered over her, although it too looked dazed by the incident, and it tilted it's headworm down to use it's four pitch black eyes to look over Allie better. The horrific smell of rotten flesh, and something moist wafting over her made her gag a few times but instead of vomiting, Allie opted to pass out for a minute. Now, she didn't hate bugs, worms included, but she'd have never welcomed them anywhere near her food. Or body.

She came to, again, feeling her head held up by one of those clawed hands, the other ever so gently tucking Allie's hair out of her face. Speak of faces, the creature's was hovering barely an arm's length - aka way too close, to hers. "U-uhaugh-!" Allie sputtered out in a surprised fright, sounding like a bumbling idiot as she wiggled out of the worm-person's hold. "Oh dear, you seemed to have hit your head, I was quite worried when you passed out so suddenly.." the creature gurgled in a weirdly concerned voice. Allie wasn't sure if it's speech actually came from it's mouth, or the fat little maggot that it had in place of a tongue. She scampered to her feet, shivering from cold and shock. "wh-whata, who-? Did you-?" she stuttered, gathering her thoughts. Yep, she was definitely in a horror movie now. Meeting a fucking cryptid. Cool.

"I'm so sorry for the mess, that was purely accidental, but I'm ever so thankful that you saved me! I didn't expect these shelves to be so flimsy.." the creature chatted, also getting up from whatever position a worm would crouch in. Allie paused for a moment, realizing she was talking with an intelligent being, and wondered if she should rethink her approach to the situation. Maybe it - or well, they, could be bargained with. She cleared her throat. "Ah well, s.. S'fine, I'm here to uh.. Clean up anyway.." she replied, trying to sound casual as she nervously flicked a few worms off of her shirt. "You work here?" the worm person asked, sounding greatly interested all of a sudden. "Ah um yes, I mean you can have... All this.." she gestured to all the quickly rotting food on the floor as it was devoured by increasing hordes of maggots. She shivered, and held back a sigh at the huge losses this would do for the business. "I don't think we can serve it to anyone anymore.. Except those uh, wiggly guys I guess" she continued, referring to the pests on the floor. It got a happy little gurgle out of the monstrous person, as they writhed a little, looking at all the feasting crawlies. "Oh how generous of you, miss! Let me make it up to you - you saved me afterall, who knows what could've become of me in this freezing room, under all that sharp metal!" they exclaimed, making Allie notice the shelves were partially shattered on impact. She was still trying to process all of this. She cleared her throat. "Make it up to me..?" what would a worm monster consider that to be?

"Why yes, I shall take you out to eat, it's only fair seeing how you've sustained my hordes so kindly with your wares!" the monster spoke in a sweet, flattered tone, almost making Allie feel less bad about the horrific pest problem they'd now have to deal with. These weren't even hers, though. What did the worm person take her for? The ceo? And by out to eat, did they mean like for dinner, or was she about to be on the menu? She felt her anxiety growing.

"What, like, on a date or something..?" she asked, laughing nervously. Please let this situation be salvageable, if she survived this she'd never complain about ordinary bugs ever again. The worm person paused, looking surprised for a split second, before breaking out into a sharp teethed smile. Allie swallowed in cold sweat, realizing they'd probably taken that seriously. "Awh, well.." they twirled the very tail of their head worm on their finger, coyly, and Allie could've sworn the monster was blushing, but their face couldn't have possibly gotten more flushed and raw looking than that. "Well, I'd be delighted to go on a date with you, miss..?" they giggled, now asking Allie to fill in her name, speaking in a sort of old fashioned way.

".. Allie." she replied, at a loss. "A-and.. You are..?"

"Madam wormstress more formally, but I suppose you could call me miss Margaretta" they squeaked in a very swooning voice. Allie couldn't believe the fact that after being single for like three years, she somehow made some worm abomination think she's smooth. She wondered if she should be concerned about this - insulted or flattered, that a creature like that found her so charming. "Oh, um, madam.?" she took a moment to register that. Was that supposed to indicate some status? She gave a lookover to what Allie realized to essentially be a monster girl. Woman? How old was she?

"Mm?" Margaretta hummed, tilting her head. Allie searched for the words, surprised at the fact that she was flustered by this. "Ah um, sure yeah, let's.. Go out for dinner.. Sometime. Miss. I mean, I'm like bisexual, so, um.." she stuttered. She was almost as clumsy with humans too, unfortunately. Luckily dating hadn't been in her priorities that much, otherwise she'd probably feel like a loser. "How wonderful! It's a date then! And oh, what might that mean then? I happen to be a multiworm hybrid so I cannot give you the exacts on that, but I'm certain our species differences can be navigated." Margaretta babbled. Allie blinked a few times, sniffling from the cold. "Oh um, right, okay, do I.. Meet you here, or..?" she wasn't sure if she should take the time to explain the concept of bisexuality to an inhuman entity on their first encounter.

"Why of course, I shall pick you up from here then, is this time tomorrow okay for you?" Margaretta gurgled in a cheery tone, twirling her fingers. Allie was a bit dumbfounded. Was this worm gonna take her to an actual restaurant? Or were there restaurants for monsters then? What if a worm's idea of a dinner was just dumpster diving? Allie reminded herself that this could still end up in her getting eaten if she wasn't careful.

"Uhh, sure."
