FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE
“How dare you take that cat to a strip club?” I asked, Thought as I paced up and down at his mountain. After I finished chatting with Carl, I decided to come here and have a word or two with Thought. I needed to talk to the man. Both about him telling me the location of the person that made Carl’s armour to make more and about him taking Carl to a strip club.“That was a bit irresponsible, don’t you think?” I told him.But he seemed not even to be paying attention to me. He was walking around doing something that for some reason; he refused to tell me about. He was making something like a potion. Because there was a huge pot in the middle and it was on fire. Some green smoke came out as things boiled inside.But I didn’t press on the matter. I allowed things to be. Things to go the way they needed to go. Allow him to do his thing and not ask questions.“Thought, I’m talking to you, you entitled brat,” I told him just to get him to listen to me.He turned with a smile. He was having a
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO
A second from the other, we appeared inside the strip club. It was dark inside. I wonder why none of them payed attention to us as we arrived. But they might be too used to having people appear and disappear anytime. The place was noisy. Music and people shouting here and there.There were creatures of all kinds, weird talking lizards, bears, and I think I saw a cheetah at some point. Then people, which might be wizards like me, werewolves like Joseph, shapeshifters to be general.Overall, the place was for all magical beings. They were all welcome. And there was a sign that read just that.We walked to an empty table and took our sit. Then a bear walked to us. And it seemed way too slim for a bear. But we did ask or stare. It was a strip club. She might have lost weight to feel welcome here. To be part of the show. For her not to feel left out and not too bad after seeing the women in front striping.“We will have butter beer please,” I told her. But I noticed some eye contact betwee
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE
Both Carl and his potential wife hang in the air as some blue eliminating light rounded them. Then they were about five men standing to their side. Smiling at us.They all wore black coats and matching hats. With military boots and leather pants.As I said before, we should have stayed at home. I thought I need an escape but this way far worse than me been at home and talking to Vea. Helping her with his marriage issues because I just went through that as well.Rather than have five wizards trying to kill your cat and his girlfriend.The magic flavor I sensed in the hair was different. Not like the usual wizard flavor most people have. Something new and strong. And that scared the crap out of me.“Okay. Let’s talk about this. I know he can be a handful, but that is because the beer he took was way too strong. We can talk about this. I will buy you all the beer you can get,” I told them as I raised my hands in surrender.“Do you seriously think they are here for the money? They managed
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR
I can’t believe the time I allow myself to let go and try to relax, something crazy happens. And that too at this place. I was expecting the place to be with alcoholics. Not to have some crazy wizards trying to get hold of my friend.I didn’t expect Carl to be in trouble. He allowed himself to get into that mess. Because he was trying to help a friend out. Because he loves her and he was trying to keep her safe. Also, because they wanted to take her from him. But he loves her and he was not giving up.That was both sweet and stupid at the same time. I looked at him as we walked to the strip club. He was doing much better now. Talking to his girlfriend. And it was now official after he risked his life for her.I felt something zipping towards us. By the time I turned to see, I was struck by great light. And my eyes went shut.You have got to be kidding me.*Water splashed on my face. I opened my eyes slowly in hopes this just didn’t happen. Someone didn’t just kidnap me and my friends
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE
A second from the other, we appeared in a dim place. The only source of light was coming outside from the moon. I looked outside at the glass door and windows, everyone had closed up. There was no one in town. Most of them were probably at the strip club drinking or doing crazier things, even.I looked around us; they were clothes of all kinds of designs. But they were all made of leather. No wonder most people here wore leather. No wonder they both wore leather. Promoting what they do.I saw shoes, from boots to slippers, all leather. Coats, both big and small, trousers, bags. Name it. Everything was perfectly made. They were really talented at what they do.I watched all my friends, and they were all admiring the place. Joseph even picked up clothes at some point. He was not even covered in blood.After a while, they all picked up something they could wear. Even Carl was happy with the coat he was wearing. And for some reason, he found shoes that went well with his paws. But that co
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX
“Did you go to the strip club even when I told you not to? And why are you all wearing leather?” Maria asked as we appeared in the living room. Apparently, she had been waiting for us.After I told her about me taking Carl there, she refused. That maybe if I went with her, then she would allow me to go to a place where women were trying their level best to find husbands or someone to sleep with for money.She refused to allow me to go there because she didn’t trust Joseph and Carl. But I know she was also scared I might end up with one of them. Even when she is the only one I love.“And you smell of beer. What did I say about you drinking? Look at you. You look like a junky. You look drunk, Justine. And Carl, who is this?” She looked over at Carl.“Er.... she is my girlfriend. Crox,” he spoke. His voice was shaky. He was as scared as I was.“As if having you here isn’t weird enough. Now all of you go to bed. JOSEPH I thought you were going to keep him grounded. But that is what I get
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN
“Suzen, what are you doing here?” I asked, as Maria’s sister stood at the door. I gestured and she walked to me. All of my friends left. Leaving me and her to be alone.She looked sad. Depressed even. Her face looked down, like she just received news of her parents’ death. We walked over and sat on the couch.“What happened? Why do you look like this?” I asked her.“Is my sister here?” She asked as she looked from one place to the other.“No, she isn’t. I can give her a call if you need to talk to her,” I took my phone, but she gestured for me not to.“I talked to her, and she wasn’t as helpful. So don’t bother,” she spoke.I studied her. What the hell would she be doing here at this time of the day? And she talked to her sister, but Maria wasn’t as helpful. What did she ask for? For Maria to refuse, it was something I wouldn’t accept. And besides, I don’t like this family. I was feeling bad about treating father and grandmother like that yesterday.They all treated me badly. She was
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT
“I know you don’t want to get involved with them, Maria. But look at her condition. We need to also think about her child. Not just her and her shitty behavior. Believe me, I don’t want to help her. Only her child. But I can’t do that without your concern,” I told her as we reached the bedroom.After I had my talk with Joseph, he also didn’t like the idea that I was trying to help Suzen out. That she needed to learn how life was and not the way she thought it was. That if her family threw her out of the house, why should I be her saviour?And then a bit longer, Maria came home. She went to get something because we were running out. And she didn’t tell me that. She was telling Joseph. Because the woman was still mad at me for what I did last night. And I don’t even know who to fix things with her and Roland.And if that is not enough, there is the Suzen situation. She had all different perspectives of what we needed to do concerning her sister. And that is to stay away and allow her to
