Novel Bin Chapter 61 - I Am The Way, Bitch!
"And?" I asked with supreme annoyance.
This woman thought she could just push through every thing that stood in her way? Then Nixi could try pushing the way, because I am the way, BITCH!
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" The massive red Demon that used to be Nixi roared at me with enough force to push me back a step.
"Are you done yet?" I asked, crossing my arms. "I am still alive, and you are still flapping your gums. What is it going to be? Are you going to start smashing things, or should I?" I asked, wiping some of the spit off my face.
Nixi looked like she was about to start yelling at me, but then one of the women came out from the side room. The redhead had long horns that ran down the back of her head like hair, but they were thick like Lidy\'s.
"Please, this is pointless to keep this up, Nixi! There is something wrong with him, and no amount of intimidation will work with this one. My son would not have picked him if he didn\'t think that he could stand up to you," The red-headed Demoness said, and then she straightened up.
Nixi started to shrink in front of me, so I decided that I should step back, but instead of staying focused on her, I turned and walked over to the Demoness. The other women were coming out now, but I was most interested in this one that had called Mex her son.
"You have a very good son; even though he might not always have the best plans, his intentions seem to be in the right place. Do you think that I could get you, women, to explain what is going on? I don\'t think that it is good for the two of us to continue like this," I said and motioned my head to where Nixi was behind me.
"Yes, come, we will go up to the top floor, and we can talk there. Is this alright, Grandmother?" The redhead asked Nixi, looking over my shoulder.
"Fine, but you had better make sure you tell him everything that I need him to know!" I heard Nixi say, but I didn\'t bother looking back.
That little witch seemed to know just how to rub me the wrong way, and it would be pointless to try and have a conversation with Nixi at this point. We were both angry, and neither seemed to like the other, but I had a feeling that Nixi didn\'t like anyone.
"Come this way. I am Perita, mother to Mex and the youngest; once we are upstairs, I will introduce you to the rest. We will keep our hands to ourselves today since we all know about your little gorgon that is waiting for you," Perita said and waved for me to follow into the door.
Inside, I was led up inside a spiral staircase, and we had to walk far higher than was possible. I was sure that the turrets on the keep were no more than five stories tall, but this felt like we had already walked almost double.
"Hey, what is up with these stairs? And why are there no other doors for any levels? There is no way that the tower is this tall, right?" I asked as we continued to walk.
"This is a part of the castle\'s magic, and we need a place that we can be far enough from Nixi. The pressure that she gives off can make it very hard to breathe or even move, and she is angrier than she isn\'t. I am sorry for the long trip, but we will be at the top soon," Perita explained to me.
That made sense, and I looked back to see the other women that were following. They all had different shades of blue hair, but the horn styles varied.
I turned back and now could see that there was a door up ahead, and that was good because I was getting tired of walking. I had already had a full day of training, and I still had to go make food for the girls, so I just wanted to get this over with.
Perita opened the door, and I walked inside, but I was blown away by what I was seeing.
"It must be pretty interesting to someone that hasn\'t spent more than two hundred years here," Noel said as she moved past me into the outdoor beach that I had just walked into.
"Wait, what is going on?" I asked and then turned around quickly.
The last three women came through a door that floated in the air. After the last Demoness with curly horns that pressed into the side of her head passed through the door, she closed it, and it stayed hanging there.
I decided that it was about time to throw what I know away and just let the craziness of it all wash over. There was no point in bringing logic into this; that was just a recipe for trouble, and I knew enough recipes already.
I sighed and then turned back to the beach scene where there was a medium-sized fire burning. The women gathered around the chairs that were spread around it and sat down, leaving one open for me.
"Please come sit down; there is much more that we need to explain to you. My name is Freida, and this is Kimera and Fairilese. You have already been introduced to Noel, and Perita, so now I can introduce us as a whole and explain why we are here and why this has all been kept a secret from Mex and Nushi," Frieda said, motioning to the empty chair.
As much as I didn\'t want to sit down, I had no reason to be rude or mean to these women. They were also all beautiful, so I might want to say on their good sides for any future endeavors I might find myself in with these women.
