Oneiros and the little human girl kept meeting several times after that day, mostly once a week, during what humans called "the weekend". She would often bring food with her, other times books or toys to show off to him, bragging about how she could already read complicated books like these ones while her classmates were still at easy ones that just told stories. Although, Oneiros was pretty convinced that she was just reading them to learn big words so to sound smart. It was quite a peculiar duo they made, while Oneiros was considerably older than her in age, both mentally and physically, he still enjoyed her company, his days became a little more busy when she was around, especially since he had to make sure she didn't fall off a cliff or in a river. Soon enough, his siblings started warming up to her as well and agreed to keep their weekly meetings a secret from their mother. Still, Oneiros made a mental note to talk and question her when he felt ready. They managed to overco
"Y-you've gotta be kidding me..." Shane breathed out, dropping his coffee mug, causing it to shatter upon hitting the floor in his room. Shane was staring in awe at the screen of his computer, specifically, at the email that had just popped up in his inbox. An email from the people of the shady-ass offer from a while ago. He had sent them the finished product they requested, aka the virus, after a few days. Spending an excruciating long time bashing his head on the keyboard, fixing every little problem and making sure there was nothing wrong with it, he didn't want it to end up malfunctioning when they booted it up. Especially since, in case that did happen, he could very much end up having a bounty placed on him or a hitman that would come hunt him down. He wouldn't really feel safe walking his little sister to school if he knew that he basically had a target on his back. In fact, he reckoned he wouldn't feel safe setting foot out of his room at all. So, in order to avoid this dange
"Ok, now that's beyond creepy dude" Bianca mumbled as the three of them were hanging out together in a cafe in the afternoon, her munching on a muffin with a cup of caramel coffee, Alex having a hard on espresso with 0 sugar and Shane just deciding to not test his already upset stomach any more than he has today "How did you get it out? T-the cat I mean""I didn't... Shane did" Alex said gloomily, his head resting on the table, making it seem like he didn't even have the energy to lift it. Apparently this experience exhausted him to the bone, mentally that is. Still, it was Shane who had it worse, since he was physically tired from all that running and screaming, he'll probably feel it next day. "It was so gruesome, my stomach couldn't handle it""And you think mine did? Haven't you seen me bolt for the bathroom right after I put that poor thing away?" they both shivered upon recalling the memory "C-can we not talk about this please?" Alex pleaded, making Bianca giggle."Such wusses.
"And then I was like, bro, you do realize that I can find the same exact outfit you're selling like, down the road for 5 bucks less right? And you know what that fucker did? He banned me from the store! Like wft dude! I was just trying to teach you how business works!" she scoffed "Guess some people don't even have enough gray matter to put 2 and 2 together" 'How did I end up in this situation again?' Shane wondered as he picked up another wooden board, nailing to the wall with a hammer. "Anyway? How did it go? Did you and that alien obsessed freak reconcile?" She asked sarcastically. Bianca invited Shane to skip classes again to hang out in her tree-house, of course it was all an elaborate plan to trick him into fixing the shack while she stood by eating some crunchy chips and complaining about her daily life. The wood he was using wasn't even good one to begin with, it was just some random wood they found laying around, all drenched up and moldy. It was better than nothing to be
After they got to Alex's house... and after Bianca put down the knives she yoinked from his kitchen, with the promise of not trying to murder him... yet. Then and only then, Alex did came out from his bunker to talk. "Ahem... so, what happened? Why did you send me such a frantic text? I assume the thing you wanted to tell me wasn't the fact that you became a couple, right?" Shane let out a groan "No, no we didn't" he cringed "This might take a while, mind if we sit first?" "Sure! I'll go grab some chips for the show" "Don't push your luck Alex, I don't need a weapon to kill you" Bianca warned "Heh... sorry" they all sat down in the living room and Shane started telling them the whole story. "Well... to sum it up a bit, I've been seeing this weird shadow in my nightmares, it doesn't have a set form or shape, sometimes it looks like an animal, others like person. But whenever I see it, well... I know I'm up for a really, really bad nightmare. It shows me what it calls 'memories' b
'Absolutely no! We are not doing this' Oneiros said, shaking his head and taking a step back as the little human girl tried to put a collar around his neck."Oh come on Mr. Fairy! It's just to make sure that those bad hunter people won't hurt you again! Don't be so stubborn and just stay still!" she kept chasing after him, trying to pounce on him when he wasn't looking or from his blind spot. Too bad Oneiros was used to being on guard, so he constantly knew where the girl was.She eventually gave up after running out of energy, resorting to laying on the ground, panting."Ok fine! You can stay without it! Happy now you stubborn wolfie?!" 'Very' Oneiros replied with a grin, satisfied with the outcome. He sat down next to the girl, calmly grooming his fur as he waited for her to catch her breath.'I wish I could ask you why you keep doing this... why you keep coming back here... to meet a monster like me' he shook his head 'I guess I'll never know the answer' but, deep down, Oneiros di
As months went by, Oneiros and the little cubs begun to develop an increasingly deeper and stronger bond between each other, so much so that now, as the first snow begun to fall, he let the two ride him. 'For clarity, this is just a one time thing, don't get used to it' he said with a purr as he rolled his eyes. The children used the excuse that their feet were cold and didn't want to walk anymore to force him to carry them. 'It amuses me how slowly you human cubs grow, how can you still be so childish and small after 5 months?' his question remained unanswered of course. The little girl was loving the ride, the boy on the other hand, seemed a little less eager. "Faster wolfie! Faster!" "A-angy don't encourage him. And sit properly, you might fall off" yup, he was scared, so Oneiros decided to give him a little scare. There was a steep slope not too far from here, he remembered it well. It was so steep that he basically sunk all the way to his chest in snow last winter, even though
"Ok class, today we are going to talk about the moon and all it's peculiarities, be ready to take notes because this will be on your final exam" a round of groan rose from the back row "Yeah yeah quit your whining and take out your books" the teacher turned around and started to draw on the blackboard "Now, If we'd to talk about the moon, I could go on for literal weeks, but for your sanity's sake, I'll just speak about a few peculiar events that happened over the years. For example, three years ago, the moon happened to go dark for an unsettling long period of time, longer than what it was supposed to do normally. The scientist thing this ma-" Shane wasn't listening to a word, he was too focused on reading and re-reading the email he received earlier that morning, still in shock. Latest Chapter
