Hello overybodyyyyy!!! How was the last chapter? Was it boring? Was it interesting? I know a lot didn’t happen but you sure did get a gooood look into the background of the Syrlyns. Just letting you know it wasn’t the last one like that but rest assured, once everything starts it’s going to be one hell of a ride!
Chapter 5
-Me(Hahaha)-
“Alright so you might have guess it a little bit but humans are easy to manipulate. You show them something good but keep it out of their reach they are bound to want to have it. That is, if it is attainable. If you just give it to them you can’t bend them to your will, however if you tease and agitate their desires they’d do almost anything to obtain it, making it easy to even shift their own morals for such a thing. This world has five leaders, 1 from each of the major countries. If I can get them to bend their will to me I can make this planet a perfect haven for you guys.” I said this with confidence and an evil smile.
She looked at me with a face of shock and disbelief. I understand why though. For many years they’ve suffered hate and hostility to near extinction, and now, even after hostilely taking over some of this planets inhabitants and community location, one of them offers a helping hand. Even I would doubt it. Oh but don’t worry. I fully intend to help you guys.
Though I do not aspire to be the ruler of the world, I do, however, want to see humanity get a kick to the face for once. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can take over or destroy the entire country of Morgan, but I do think I’ll be able to bend them, enough to where these guys will never have to worry about living in fear of extinction.
I’ll make it to where humanity accepts these guys as equals, but I got to be careful so as they are not idolized. That will make things complicated on an entirely different level. Still as of right now I don’t have enough information. In order to make humanity, as a whole, accept and tolerate these guys I’m going to need to know a lot more from them. Gaining their trust is going to be hard, but I’ll manage.
And her. I’m really interested in her as a person. Hmm, no. I should like to say as a woman. Strange since it's our first meeting but I want to know about her. Not her race, but her. This is definitely odd for me. It’s strange however I do not dislike it. If anything I’d say I would like it. Ah sidetracked. For now, I need to work on gaining their trust however long that’ll take. Once I do, I’ll be able to get more info which will make acceptance many many times easier.
“Well now that we exchanged appropriate information, what now?” I subtly ask.
“You cannot leave.” She emphasized each word.
“Then wouldn’t the easiest solution be to kill me? I mean simply stating, keeping me alive is a huge risk factor. You could have waited for me to give you all the information about the weapons then killed me right after. You never once had to tell me your story, you could have just agreed with words then, once I was satisfied with hearing them, killed me after my story. It’s super easy.” I pull out a pocket knife that I keep in my boots, open it, and slide the blade across my hand. Fresh blood oozed out like a timid creature leaving its cave for the first time. “It’s this easy to hurt a human.” I said and showed her the wound. “We are so fragile it’s a wander we survived this long.” I tell her. Honestly I’m not trying to really do anything here except show her how fragile we are, but now that I think about it, these actions can serve as a catalyst for trust. Well, I won’t take this too far. If she says to stop then I’ll stop. “Even right now. Every passing second is an opportunity to silence me for good. You’d never have to worry about me again. It’s literally your best option right now. So, I ask, why don’t you? It would obviously solve your problem.” I asked. To be honest I had no idea what she was going to answer with. I had no idea what was going to happen next. Would she finally decide to end me? Will she enslave me, forcing me to listen to her in order to survive? Will I be taken over by one of the blue tails? I am slightly trembling but not out of fear. No. Out of excitement. I’m trembling out of excitement. This isn’t a situation that happens often. It’s new, unexperienced, exciting. Though I can’t say I’m not entirely scared, I mean I do, in fact, want to live. However, I am more interested in her decision that I am my own life.
“I… don’t want to kill you.” She said it. Wow. I wasn’t expecting that to be the first response. It was within reason but I didn’t know it was her first choice. But she didn’t finish there “I’m… we’re tired. We’re scared. We… have nothing left anymore. I… I want to trust you. Your heart sounds gentle. Your words are something we would want to cling to.”
“But” I continued for her. To be honest her words completely threw me off. Wants to trust me? She has an entire race to take care of. Of course she can’t. if she did and made the same mistake as the last queen, her race will go extinct. It’s a very serious matter. To be honest I wouldn’t do such a thing. I want to help them, but they don’t know that. They’re crippled by the pain of loss and fear.
“I just can’t…” she started but I’ll interrupt her here.
“I know. You have your entire race to think of. Well, what’s left of it anyway. You’re all crippled by the events thus far. If you trusted me right off the bat, I’d think you guys were idiots.” It’s true. To just blatantly trust someone is pretty stupid. “That being the case, let's start with this proposition.” She looks at me and listens intently. “No matter what, if it meant even killing my own kind, I’ll do whatever you ask.” It’s a horrible proposition, to tell you the truth, but it’s only a matter of time before they get discovered again and this is simply the fastest choice I have right now. If I gain even just her trust, then I’ll be able to move freely and my plans can go into action quicker. That’s why I chose this method, even with it having so many holes.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
She stood there with a slight dumbfounded look. Couldn’t blame her though, I just offered to kill my own race for another whom I just met. “Anything?” she asked in a low voice.
“Yup. Doesn’t matter who or what it is. Even catching a star. I’ll find a way.” I simply stated. Though catching a star is impossible with this planets technology, since she is from space somewhere, there is bound to be tech out there that could. I’ll find it and catch one. This… now that I think about this, this is completely unlike me. Normally I’d just try to take the easiest, laziest way out. Yet here I am. Offering to catch a blazing star just to gain the trust of some girl… correction, woman, I just met. Why do I even believe her story so willingly? It could all be lies. All just let my guard down. No, it’s definitely not lies. Her eyes say so. Whatever she has said, it’s all true. Those eyes are not the type that could lie about such a thing without wavering. Looks like meeting her was a good thing for me. Maybe this could be the same for her and them if everything plays out smoothly.
“Then first, kiss me.” She said.
Wait… what?
“But not in this form. My real one.” She elaborated.
Huh? What? Totally not what I was expecting. That literally came out of nowhere. Why a kiss? It’s… ah. She must have seen couple kissing and assumed it meant something along the lines of trust and endearment. Well such is the case, she’s not wrong. Oh, if I think harder, aren’t humans disgusted with anything different from them? Don’t they absolutely hate anything that doesn’t bow to them or respect them? I see. A kiss meant for endearment is used to see whether or not I could do such a “disgusting” thing with another race. All the more to do so while she is in her original form. To humans, that would be an absolutely hideous sight and repulsing to the extent of throwing up. If I was lying through my teeth up till now it would be immediately exposed. Well it doesn’t really bother me. In fact, honestly I find this demand rather rewarding then a hindrance. Rewarding? Did I really think that? Shit, I really am into this chick. Excited for kissing her regardless of the form. Am I sane? To most, nope! Doesn’t matter.
“Alright, I can do that.” I accepted with confidence. Bet she wasn’t expecting that.
“Really?” she asked a bit confused. So she really did think I was lying up till now. No matter, I have resolved myself to kiss her so now I shall. The more I think about it, the more I think I would do it without the command
“Yup, so go ahead and transform.” I tell her.
“Alright.” She stood up, walked over to me, and gave me the jacket I had given to her. After she stepped back about ten steps and quickly transformed back to her original state. Once again I am stunned by her beauty. That pale white skin and semi-transparent membrane gives off a glow that is unique only to her. It’s amazing. Truly beautiful. She walked towards me. I say walked but she really only took two steps. She bent her head down to eye level and stared into my eyes. Lets make it count! I reach out my hands and gently, like one would a lover, put one on each side, of what I think is, her face. I gently press my lips to the tip of her nose/snout and give a light kiss. Not one that is trying to just quickly get it over with, nor one that is overbearing. It is one that would be given to a someone you would give a special place in your heart. I let it last for maybe four or five seconds before removing my lips from her, then I look straight into her eyes.
“I hope that was to at least a somewhat enjoyable experience.” I spoke. Incidentally I said it a little intimately, and sure enough my cheeks were slightly hot. Hey, I know I’m not some high school girl in heat or whatever, but damn, that kiss. I think I enjoyed it a bit too much. It kinda had a sweet taste. A sweet fruity taste, but I can’t really pinpoint its exact flavor. Heh, I’ll keep that to myself for now.
When I got out of my slight daze and looked at her I couldn’t believe what I saw.
______________________________________________________________________________
Wooohoo, wasn’t that a little intimate! Heh, a little different no? Who also would kiss her? Would anyone actually be able to be as calm as him? I think I pulled this chapter off pretty well if I do say so myself. Please leave a comment on what you thought and how I’m doing. As such, like am I giving you guys enough details to give you a vivid image but also leave enough for imagination? Are you guys able to clearly see the scenes and feel the mood? Are you able to understand their emotions and standpoints? Please tell me, again, no mercy. I need to know to make both myself and my book better. And as always, thanks for reading!!!!
