{Gen Savage}

We had stopped outside of a town to give Ket a chance to rest. This also gave Snow and I a chance to resupply. Standing in the Knight's bay of the RV, Willow, Clover and Quick were looking at us slightly worried.

“You sure you’ll will be okay out there?” Willow asked me. The worry in her eyes was sweet and smiled at the beautiful wolf woman.

“I’m sure. I know if anything bad happens, this battle bunny will have my back.” Snow blushed and looked at the ground. She always struggled with praise from me. Quick nodded at me but frowned.

“I could go with you’ll iffen you need?” He asked but looked at Clover with a worried expression.

“No, I need you here to keep everyone safe.” He gave me a weak smile but nodded. Snow and I climbed into my Knight and made our way to town. She was riding in my Knight’s hands and seemed to be looking around clearly on guard for anything. Over her short skirt and low-cut top was a brown cloak that hid her ears and tail. I would put mine on before getting out of my cockpit as it was still a little warm. This should keep us safe from too much trouble.

We stopped on the edge of town next to the Knight workshop and were approached by a thin young boy.

“Master Commander. We are full at the moment, so you may have to wait a day or two for repairs.” He said slightly worried. Snow leapt down to him and smiled.

“That’s okay. We are only here for supplies.” He nodded and breathed a sigh of relief at her words. It was clear he was worried we would fight or argue with him. I put on my cloak and joined Snow who was watching everything closely.

“Stop, we have questions?” I turned with a mild scowl at the sweet voice that came to us. A set of blonde-haired blue-eyed twins moved up the path to us. Their eyes were large, but focused on my Knight. Both were dressed in long flowing blue dresses that made their eyes stand out. The pair were beautiful, but far too young for my taste and looked to be barely twelve winters old (16 earth years). A large well-built man walked after them, his hand resting on a sword. Snow stood between us and put her hands on her hips. I couldn’t see her face, but I knew she was giving them her stay away look. “How do you move the hips on that unit like that?” The one on the right asked, her eyes moving up and down my Knight.

“Yes, and about the power output.” The other one added. I had to laugh, they were bold, careless and clearly didn’t understand the situation.

“Why should I tell you?” I responded, slightly amused by their questions.

“Because we asked.” Both said looking at me closely. It was slightly creepy the way they acted in unison like that. Their eyes went wide, and they turned to each other and traded one-word comments, having a whole conversation in just a few words.

“Human?”

“No. Tail.”

“What”

“Fox?”

“No. Wolf?”

“No. Coyote?”

“Pet?”

“Yes, but maybe?”

“Ours?”

“Yes.”

“Pale one?”

“Maybe.”

“Human?”

“No bunny.”

“Both, both is good.” They said turning back to us. It made my head spin a little with how fast it had gone. They sounded so similar that I couldn’t tell who was talking or what was going on. “You there, we want you two and we want your Knight.” The guard standing behind them rolled his eyes as if to say this was a common thing for these twins.

“You can’t have him.” Snow said in outrage.

“Oh, we want you too.” The first one said smiling at snow.

“You can’t have me either.” Snow cried out. The twins frowned and tilted their heads away from each other. The guard coughed and crossed his arms.

“My ladies. It is common when meeting someone new to exchange names first.” He said and it was clear this wasn’t the first time they had this conversation.

“Oh. Names?” The first one asked the second.

“Yes.” The second replied with a sigh. “I am Amanda, and this is Alexia, we are the witches of Deveros. Who are you?” I took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

“I am Gen, and this is Snow. Pleasure to meet you.” Snow looked back at me slightly worried.

“Good, now that we are done with that, can we pet your tail?” Amanda asked, her eyes focusing on my lower half.

“No. for my people, that is for lovers.” Snow Replied.

“Those terms are acceptable.” Alexia said, looking at Snow. “My sister misses the point though. We want to play with the Knight and the Beasts. Name your price.” The guard growled in annoyance at everything.

“My ladies, this is why you aren’t allowed around the Beasts at home.” Both twins turned to him and scowled.

“That is why we want these two. You can’t take them away if they are ours.” Alexia said, her hands on her hips. I started laughing and the pair turned back to me, a warning look on their faces.

“What is so funny?” Amanda asked.

“You just remind me of my big brother.” I said and Snow moved to my side, slapping my arm. She was fighting to hold her own smile in.

“Be nice to them.” She said, but I could hear the humor in her voice.

“Doesn’t matter. Who made the blades you use on your Knight? I can tell they are enchanted although I know that enchanting a blade that size shouldn’t work.” Alexia asked, moving closer to us.

“I don’t see a point in telling you.” I said, a note of warning in my voice.

“Gen, we want you and your Knight. Come with us.” Amanda said, looking up into my eyes.

“No.” I said backing away.

“We will treat you nice and we just want to pet you.” Alexia said as the twins moved closer, their hands raised up and making a slight clawing motion at us.

“My ladies. Please stop.” The guard said anger filling his face. “Humans shouldn’t act that way with animals.” I felt my anger rising, but to my shock both women turned on him, outrage clear on their faces.

“They are not animals.” Both shouted at him at the same time.

“Shut up number three.” Amanda added. Both turned back to Snow and I and smiled in a very creepy and somehow familiar way.

“What can we offer you to get you to join us?” Alexia asked. I shook my head and crossed my arms.

“Not going to happen. We are only here for supplies.” I said and Snow nodded, but I could tell she was starting to get worried.

“What if we duel you? Knight vs Knight. If we win, you come with us and let us pamper and pet you.” Amanda asked. I shook my head but couldn’t help myself.

“And what if I win?” I asked, meeting their eyes. This might be a good way to get some gold or maybe a Knight to take home to big brother. The twins looked at each other and seemed to have a silent conversation before looking back at us.

“We will offer you our first time.” Amanda said, nodding, a slight blush on her face.

“Hell no.” Snow said, stamping her foot.

“That offer extends to you too, bunny woman. Snow, was it?” Alexia said.

“As tempting of an offer that is, I am going to have to decline.” I said, crossing my arms.

“Don’t tell me you are into men.” Amanda said, turning to number three who was looking worried.

“No, I like women, but I like ADULT women.” I said, making my words clear. A scent came to me, and I could smell anger leaking from Snow. There was more of it, but it was coming from the twins.

“That isn’t fair.” Both said at the same time. Snow refused to look up at me but took a deep breath.

“Gen, go get the supplies. I will try to smooth things over here.” I patted her shoulder. She may be able to talk some sense into this pair. At the very least I was free of this conversation. Locking up my Knight, I moved to the city to find what we needed.

{Snowdrop Cottontail}

She was angry. He had called her a child. Did he really view her like that? The man she loved and wanted above everything saw her as a little girl. Because of that an idea formed in her mind. It was risky and would get her in trouble but may change his mind about her. She looked at the twins and their large bodyguard. “Look, I have an idea that will force him to agree to your duel.” The twins raised eyebrows somehow mirroring each other. It was weird and creepy. She understood why they were called witches.

“Go on.” Alexia said.

“He needs a reason to fight. I am willing to be your hostage.” Snow said with a sigh.

“Why would you do that?” Amanda asked.

“I want him to see me as more than I am.” Snow said, hanging her head in shame. This let her long ears pull free of the hood. The twins looked at each other and nodded.

“We will do so in exchange for one favor.” Alexia said, moving closer.

“What is that?” Snow said slightly worried. The twins took a breath together and clasped their hands as they moved closer.

“Let us play with your ears.” Both said, hope in their eyes.

Snow was sitting behind a building as the twins each held one of her ears. Much to her shame they were being gentle and taking their time stroking and rubbing her long ears. They were so gentle and caring as they explored every inch of her ears that she couldn’t help but get excited and just sit there panting as the twins played. She had expected them to be rough and tug at them, but it was like they were worshiping her ears and she just sat there enjoying the feeling. Her mind went to Gen and Ket. Would those two plays with her ears like this? Her legs twisted as she wished she could play with herself. This just felt too good. Much too soon, a rope was placed around her by the guard, and she was dragged away. She saw the look of disappointment in the twins faces. Maybe someday they could do that again.

I had finished buying the badly needed supplies and set the delivery to my Knight when the guard of the twins stopped me. He held out a white choker I knew all too well. With a sneer at me as though begging me to attack him, he said. “She is being held outside of town to the east. If you value her life, come there to duel the twins.” He turned away and I felt the gift I had gotten Snow fall apart in my hand. The tiny bell that was attached to a ribbon crumpled in my fist as I headed to my Knight. Moving quickly, I mounted before making my way to the field that would hold our duel for Snow. The twins would pay for what they had done.

I saw Knights standing in the field, each one with an accented arm. Alexia's right arm was huge and Amadna’s left arm mirrored her sisters. It was almost like the twins were half of some larger Knight. I moved to the twins, anger filling my heart. Snow was tied to a tree, and I knew I was going to do everything in my power to let her see Ket again.

The Knight on the right started running at me. I wasn’t willing to entertain the idea of playing fair. I drew my Saber Shot and fired at the one on the left. Its head was cleanly taken off removing it from combat. The other was still running, and I ducked under the oversized arm and dove my blade into the armpit. It fell away. Moving swiftly, I kicked it, sending it rolling. When it was down, I raised my blade over the back over the cockpit. They had threatened my friend, and they would pay.

“GEN STOP!!” Snow screamed. I turned to her. “It was my plan.” She said pulling the ropes free. Sheaving my sword, I moved to her and held out my hand. She climbed on and I left. My rage that was directed to the twins was now aimed at Snow. I was just too pissed to talk and was happy she didn't seem in the mood to talk either. The supplies were ready when I got back, and I just picked them up and made my way back to the RV. Snow refused to look at me and I wasn’t sure that I wanted to see her right now.

Back at the RV, I loaded my Knight up and sat in the dark cockpit for a while. There was a knock on the hatch, and I took a deep breath before opening it. Ket stood there, she looked worried, and I could smell fear. Snow was on the bay floor, and she was talking to Willow. My rage took hold, and I stormed up to her.

“Why the fuck would you do that?” I shouted down at her. She hung her head, and her shoulders shook. “Why?” I needed to know. Her eyes shot up to me, tears starting to fall.

“Because I love you, you fucking moron.” My jaw dropped and I stood there unable to move. I had not expected that. “I love you and thought you only saw me as a little kid.” Her shoulders sagged and she looked at the ground. “I thought maybe, just maybe, if I was in trouble, you might rescue me.” My heart was hammering, and my mind was blank.

“I thought you were in love with Ket.” I finally managed to get out. What the hell was going on?

“I like her too, but we both are in love with you.” I heard a strange squeak and turned to see Ket jumping behind my Knight’s leg. She peeked out and I could see the blush clear on her face. WHAT? A large goofy grin formed, and I looked between Snow, Ket and Willow. I wasn’t sure what to say, what to do and what I could do to make sure I didn’t screw this up. Willow saved me.

“He likes you two as well. Now that things are in the open, who wants to go first?” She asked, looking around. There was another squeak from behind me and I turned to see Ket hiding, but her hand was raised high in the air.

“Wait, what?” I said blinking at the racoon woman. “We can’t do anything until next winter and Ket can’t do anything for another two winters.” I said dumbfounded.

“That is a silly rule.” Clover said as she stormed into the room. “I will have to have a talk with this Savage person about that.” Quick came behind her and was trying to reach for her arm. He was blushing madly as he tried to catch her. The two must have heard the whole thing. “If sex is off the table, why not cuddle with them?” She said with no shame in her eyes. I felt my own blush creep up my face. She wasn’t wrong and I couldn’t argue or fight her logic. “Ket, was it? You wanted to go first so tonight go to his room to cuddle.” Clover said, peeking around me. I turned to see Ket ducking behind my Knight. She shook but I could see the side of her head slowly nodding. “Now let’s get these supplies put away and get on the road.” Quick picked Clover up and took her out of the room. I was still stunned by everything, and my heart ticked up a notch as Snow stood quickly, grabbed my shirt and pulled me down into a deep kiss. Her lips were soft and the tingle that ran up my spine made me want more. My body was responding, and Willow pulled Snow off.

“I want one too.” She said pulling my shirt like Snow had done. Her kiss was rough, hard and full of passion. I felt a growl build in my throat as she moaned softly into my mouth. We pulled away and I felt a tug at my shirt. Turning, I saw a madly blushing Ket looking over her glasses at me.

“You want,” I started to ask before she jumped and planted a quick kiss on my lips. She darted away heading to her Knight. I laughed nervously as I looked at Willow and Snow who were blushing. “Snow, I have feelings for you too.” She wiped her eyes and smiled at me.

“I can hear your heart. Why do you think I like wearing short skirts?” She said with a smirk. The huge goofy smile on my face wouldn’t seem to go away as we packed everything up. Ket was able to get us a safe distance from the city before we set up camp.

That night, my heart was in my throat as I waited in my room. There was a soft knock at the door, and I opened it to see Ket standing there in her oversized shirt. She was looking at the ground, but I could see the blush on her cheeks. “Come in please.” I said lifting my arm so I could close the door behind her. Once inside she sat on my bed and refused to look up. “Are you okay with this?” I asked. She nodded quickly and pulled the shirt down over her knees. Something was in her right hand, and I reached over to see what it was. She flinched at my touch and turned to look at me. “What do you have there?” I asked. She held both hands up to me and opened them to show me the comb she loved so much. “You want me to give you another reward?” I asked taking the comb. She nodded and bit her lip. I pulled her head to my lap and felt my excitement mount as I started combing her long black hair. This was so different from the last time as I knew the woman’s head in my lap cared for me. “Thank you for working so hard pulling the RV and for keeping our Knights running.” She nodded and I heard a moan escape her as my fingers brushed her ear. We were together now, and I could do things like that if I wished, but doing so may make it harder to hold back.

“Your hair is done. Do you want to be next to the wall or door?” She jumped at my words and sat up, looking around. “How about you take the door side.” I said moving behind her and stretching out. “So you can leave at any time.” I said. She nodded but didn’t look at me. She just put her glasses in the drawer next to the bed and turned to me. Without her glasses, she somehow looked naked, and the thought made my mind go to some new places. I held up the covers and she quickly ducked in using my arm as a pillow. Wrapping my arms around her, I kissed her forehead making her moan softly. She clawed at my sleeping shirt before looking up at me. I could feel her heart hammering and smelled the love rolling off her in waves. I was such an idiot failing to understand her and Snow’s feelings. “I’m sorry I made you wait.” I said looking into those dark eyes. She nodded and licked her lips before moving to lick up my neck. Pulling back, she shook and bit her lip again. I shuddered as the sensation suddenly had a whole new meaning.

“Why do you do that?” I asked. She buried her head in my chest and spoke in a small voice.

“When I was a slave, before I came to live with you.” She took a deep breath. “Someone stole my bread and licked it.” She was shaking so I started rubbing her back to help her. The love mixed with joy as she pawed lightly at my shirt. How the hell was someone this small, this cute? “He said it was his bread because he had licked it.” I laughed and hugged her close.

“So, you wanted me to be yours this whole time?” I said kissing the top of her head. She sighed and nodded. “Well, now I am.” She looked up and kissed me softly. It was quick and chased, but still made my heart skip a beat. Why was she only thirteen winters (17 earth years), why couldn’t we be adults all ready? Sleeping was going to be rough but holding her like this and talking made things nice. My hands moved to her hair, and I brushed it until she had gone to sleep. She needed more sleep than I did.

{Amanda/Alexia Deveros}

The twins moved as one, thought as one, and did everything together. They had met a nice bunny, very attractive coyote man and were able to test their new Knights. The one named Gen was skilled and didn’t hold back. It showed them that they needed to train more, test more and work harder to use the new tool they had picked up. In the shop, they looked up at the Dire Knight. It was a work of art despite being an old model. It would help them build something new and powerful. Licking their lips, they got to work looking over the Knight, exchanging single words that took the place of a long pointless conversation.

“(They used) Enchanting, (to make the deployable blades work)” Amanda said, turning to her sister.

“(How?)” Alexia asked, tilting her head.

“(Runes are linked with) Silver Steel.”

“(Interesting)” Azalea said by nodding.

“(I agree.)” Amanda replied by nodding back.

“(The) engine (is different.)” The twins looked over the heart of the Knight. It didn’t seem to have seams and was smaller than it looked. They would need to open it up somehow to look at it, but how to do it safely.

“Metal mage.” Alexia said to her twin. The two women nodded and turned to number three. “We need a metal mage for our experiments.” It was a struggle to talk to normal people and the twins didn’t like most humans. The beasts were different, and they wished they were allowed around them. Their grandmother had made that rule when she found the girls being pampered by one of the maids. They were told that humans shouldn’t interact with beasts as equals, but they liked beasts. They had soft tails and ears and somehow the beasts didn’t look down on the twins for being weird. They wished the bunny and coyote had stayed with them. Petting the coyote’s tail must be so soft.
