Chapter 15 - Girls, We Are Monster Too!
I looked at Riez's naturally green eyes because what other color would they be? They were pretty, but that wasn't what was important right now.
"Yes, I will make it taste much better, you can ask Mary her as she drools in excite...OwO!" I had been saying but then bit me harder this time, hitting a nerve and making my knees buckle. ??
"Sof merkin fun ov meh!" Mary said with my neck still in her mouth.
I was barely able to stay on my feet, and I didn't dare try to pull her off. Mary was all but breaking skin right now, but if I moved, that might change.
I suppose I really needed to start treating these women like ladies and not my pets. I deserved to get a bite for saying that after she had been so cute with me.
I relaxed my neck, and Mary slowly let go, and I was able to stand back up straight. The other four had stayed perfectly quiet the entire time.
"Sorry, I know I said that I wouldn't do it again, and I do. So, I deserved that. I will start treating you all more like women. This is all new to me, and I am not really sure how to act," I said, turning to Mary, but she crossed her arms across her heaving breasts and then snaked around to be in front of me.
Mary was not heavy, but I had to move back from the fire and brace myself a bit. I felt like I was about to get an ear full, and I was not wrong.
"Jussst because I am different doesssn't mean you can pick on me and makesss fun of me! I tried to hurt yousss, but I couldn't! You are ssstarting to sssound like some of the bad people!" Mary shouted at me.
I froze, stuck in my own stupidity. This is what Mary had meant by good and bad people. That would be all that mattered to her, the way people treated her.
Now I was acting like one of the bad people instead of just enjoying the cute things for myself. I wasn't really sure how to fix this; Mary had all but just admitted to trying to kill me.
"Mary, I think you need to give Kazz a break. He has been very good to us, so I think that we can overlook that he might say some stupid things from time to time, but he is a male. He could have easily just run away from both of us, and we both would have been alone again," Jilly said to Mary, coming over and petting her snakes, who seemed to enjoy it just as much as Mary.
"I guesss ssso, but don't do it again! You seem like a good person, and I don't like hurting you, but I am a monster too!" Mary said as she slithered around me.
I quickly moved forward and flipped the meat, and none of it was burned, thankfully. I was very grateful for Jilly's intervention, and I would have to do something nice for her, maybe extra meat.
The Cerberus girls were sitting quietly, but it must have been very awkward for them with Mary attacking me and yelling between us. The meat would be done soon, and then I could get everyone filled up, and hopefully, my new skill helped fill the girls this time.
I had twenty-four steaks cooking, which meant that we could each have six, but that would just be two each for the Cerberus girls. So, I decided that I would take one from each girl and give four of mine to them.
I wasn't really sure about how their stomachs worked, but their body looked famished. I took the stakes that Jilly had got ready for me, and I started stabbing steaks on them and spreading them out.
I slammed the meat sticks into the ground with my empowered strength to let them cool, and I wasn't surprised when Jilly waited patiently. She had learned her lesson, but Mary was staying behind me and not hanging over my shoulder.
That made me feel horrible, as it should, but I would have to try and do something to make it up to her. I can only imagine how difficult her life must have been up to this point.
This was the same for all the girls, and now it was my job to take care of them. All while trying to become the strongest being in this world.
I sighed; the title I wanted seemed exceptionally far out of my grasp. My current title placed me as a Monster Nanny, whatever that meant.
I finished the last meat stick, and stabbed it into the ground, then started to hand out the first one that had cooled some. I told the girls to be careful because it was hot, but then I grabbed two meat sticks.
"Jilly, I will be back in a little bit. My shirt is still there, and the inside of it will be good enough to wipe yours and the girl's faces off," I said to Jilly, and she nodded to me.
I turned and walked away with Mary and the meat sticks, heading over to a place out of sight and earshot to the others. Mary had not asked for her meat, nor had she tried to climb over me, and this feeling was eating me up inside.
"Mary, would you come around and sit on my lap?" I asked after I had sat down, and Mary complied.
After she came to sit in my lap, I handed her the meat and let her dig into it. As she did, I took a large bite out of one of my steaks but then pulled it off and set my stick to rest on a rock.
I had chosen this spot because of a large rock beside me close enough to be used as a table. I pulled out the Loose Leaf Dagger, and the knife went to work, dicing and chopping the meat into tiny little chunks as I chewed.
I put the dagger away and then turned back to Mary, who was eating her steaks quietly. Her snakes were trying to gnaw on the steaks, but they weren't having much luck.
I didn't want to even try to comprehend how Mary and her snake's insides worked, but they did seem hungry. I grabbed a bunch of pieces of meat that the dagger had cut up and started to feed them to the snakes, and they gobbled all of it up.
I turned and pulled another steak off and let the dagger do the work, but I could tell the blind woman was watching me. As I turned back, Mary turned her body so her back was to me and then leaned back and cuddled into my chest as I fed her snakes.
"Maybe not ssso bad," Mary hissed gently between bites, and I relaxed, and her snake all looked to me for more food.
I had better get at least on of these steaks, but if I didn't, that was okay, too. I was just glad that Mary was cute with me again.
