Please forgive the short intro chapter, I'm not great at long drawn out chapters, but what I know I will lack in length at times, I will try to make up for in quantity, proper punctuation and spelling, and of course, content amount, thank you.
Chapter 1: The Intruder
*KRA-KA-KOOOOOooOOOmmmm*
It began with the clap of thunder, rain beginning to pelt at my window. "Oh, I could've sworn before that the weather man said there would be no rain for another week." Shrugging, I slowly made my way upstairs, thinking that with classes it would be a long night of studying ahead of me. As I slowly made my way to the dormitories second floor common room, I heard another clap of thunder as lightning struck outside the window. Jumping back, I failed to realize how strongly I moved as my tall self slammed against the railing smashing it to pieces as I felt the first floor. Gingerly I picked myself up a nasty gash suddenly appearing on my left arm. As I slowly shook my head at my own stupidity I began to hear an overwhelming knocking from the front door. "Somebody is actually knocking at the door? Why not just use the damn doorbell?:, I grumble to myself as I slowly made my way over the knocking growing ever louder and more intense. "Yeah yeah yeah I hear you hold your horses dammit hold your damn horses.", I mumbled and slowly reached for the door unlocking the bolt. "I swear to high heaven Peter if this is another of your pranks I am going to mur-", I said, as I suddenly stopped in mid-sentence, the person....? at the door easily towering taller then the frame itself as they smirked down at me, a black muzzle chuckling as it recited my words back to me,
"Hold your horses eh?......Not a bad term of phrasing my little one.....not that your words mean that much anymore, as I, your mist-HMMPGH!", the creature suddenly yelped, as I slammed the door into its' face, turning around and running for my life.
"Shit shit shit, fuck fuck fuck, what the hell was that thing? It looked like a giant....oh god oh man oh jeez", I said as I stumbled into the kitchen, having forgotten about the profusely bleeding wound from my shoulder from my earlier fall. "Oh god, I have to find something to protect mys-hey....wait a minute....WHERE THE FUCK IS EVERYBODY?!", I suddenly realized, shouting it out automatically. Sure the dorm I had been assigned for college was not a large one, but still, it was only 20 to 11 in the evening. At this hour, it was entirely not uncommon to see not just one or two, but several other students milling about, either hanging out, or grabbing some snacks from our small kitchen area for a late night cram session. Shaking the thought from my head, as I focused on finding not just the medicine supplies in the first-aid kit, but also a hammer or knife of some of kind for defense, my thoughts were quickly dashed as to which I had to attend to first, as a sudden cracking of wood splintered off, my eyes watching as the front door to the dorm sailed by, smashed into the far right wall of the kitchen.
"HOW DARE YOU NOT SHOW THE PROPER RESPECT TO YOUR MISTRESS!", the creature howled at me, white lightning like effects sparking off of it as the heavy grey robe that it wore quivered slightly, as if moved by a small breeze.
"......I.....whoa....", I stuttered, aghast as I stared at the remains of the door, for it had not only been broken off, but burnt to a crisp, the entire frame having come with it. Turning my attention back to the creature, I stumbled back at its' approach, it's huge frame having to bend slightly to fit into the kitchen area.
"I WILL TEACH YOU PROPER RESPECT YOUNGLING! YOU WILL LEARN TO LOVE YOUR QUEEN!", it spoke, the effect of its' voice overwhelming, to say the least, as I stumbled backwards, my knees melting to jelly as I slowly fumbled for the steak knife I had held before, waving it in front of me as a meager show of defense. "Hahaha, if you think that pathetic piece of metal is going to....going to....pretty", it said, my eyes suddenly opening slightly as I peaked out over my cringing body, the creature hovering right over me as its' eyes were glued my chest.
"So....beautiful", it mumbled, the sudden demonic like presence from earlier vanishing in but an instant as a hand, small in comparison to the creatures body, but large enough to lift me around the torso easily, extended outwards, grasping at the family charm my mother had given me a long time ago.
*FLASHBACK*
"But moooommmmm! I don't want to wear a stupid necklace, jewelrys for girls and sissies", I pouted, sticking my tongue out at my mother as my eleven year old self stomped his feet in a show of anger and defiance.
"Now Custos, trust me, this will be worth it, this actually belonged to my mother you know, and her father before her. It's been in my family for 10 generations, now that it belongs to you. It was a good luck charm for our family, always ensuring good health on us", she said as she chuckled quietly, clasping it behind my neck as I squirmed, not wanting to make a fuss as my grandmother quietly watched from the corner.
"Don't be so kind on him dear, boys these days need to toughen up, lest Mother Gaia test with them a challenge too difficult to endure, she said, as she slowly rocked in her chair, closing her book as as she looked up, a crooked tooth smile stretching across her old lips as a warm breeze blew in thru the open window next to her, slowly bringing me back to the present
*PRESENT*
Horrified as the creature reached out and clasped the charm, it suddenly shook its' large head, smirking as it returned to its confident demeanor. "H-haha-HAHAHA FOOLISH LITTLE ONE! FOR THY DEFIANCE A PAINFUL DEATH WOULD BE GRANTED........But under the circumstances.....I WILL SIMPLY TAKE THINE TREASURE FOR THYSELF, SUCH A LOVELY PIECE OF JEWELRY SHOULD BE OWNED BY A TRUE BEAUTY SUCH AS MYSELF!", it boasted, suddenly grasping the charm as it began to tug it away from me, choking me a little in the process.
"H-h-hey! LEGGO MY EGGO YA CRAZY BASTARD!", I said, struggling to hold back as the hand lifted me up, my feet just barely able to touch the ground.
"B-BASTARD?! HOW DARE THEE! WE ARE QUEEN ECLIPSA OF THE ANCIENT CHANGELING MOON HIVE! WE WILL NOT ALLOW THINE INSULTS TO BE ALLOWED!", it said as it suddenly began to tug even harder on the charm, the clasp just refusing to snap apart. "UGH! COME OFF THINE PIECE OF JUNK!", the queen? snapped, tugging still.
"PIECE OF JUNK?!" I shouted, suddenly grabbing the hand by the wrist as the charm began giving off a faint ghastly black glow. "PIECE OF JUNK!? THIS WAS MY MOTHERS YOU SMUG BITCH!", I cried, suddenly, somehow, gripping the arm of the creature as I hurled it over my shoulder, my feet, thank god for my large stature, planted firmly back on the ground. Throwing the bitch judo style over my shoulder, I grinned satisfyingly as I heard a loud crunch as she hit the window hard, crashing thru it back into the outside yard of the dorm.
Lightning striking again as the rain began to pour down like rapid fire from a gun, I suddenly realized what happened, my confident grin vanishing as my logical side began questioning how I had done so. This supposed Queen easily dwarved my size, despite being a thankful 6 feet and 2 inches, thanking my grandfather again for he was the only other tall person in the family, I was still little more then level with the bottom of where this bitches chest would be. Popped out of my thinking, I noticed as the floor had begun to hum, white streaks of lightning slowly but increasingly beginning to surge from the broken window area, rubble beginning to float in the air as a sudden bolt of what could only be described as lightning struck out, slamming into my chest as I flew back, my body slamming into the fridge on the far side, heavily denting it as I coughed up blood, my body falling to the ground in a heap of jittering nerves, and pulsating pain. "Thy think thineself funny huh? Throwing a lady, a queen no less, out a window, causing pain to her. THINESELF WILL PAY FOR THIS TRANSGRESSION!", as the crazy queen leapt back thru the broken opening, into the kitchen as it slammed another bolt into me. Collapsing back to a prone position, from the on my knees and elbow position I had managed to climb to, I screamed out in pain and suffering. Tears welling up in my eyes, god why, all I wanted was for the pain to stop. Feeling myself being lifted up, I suddenly found myself hurled thru the opening into the back yard. the raining soaking me in but an instant as I laid on the cold ground, quickly coming to begin shivering along with the pain my body felt.
Stumbling, no, struggling to get up, my brain screamed at me to just move. "MOVE YOU IDIOT! MOVE!" I mumbled to myself, unfortunately the energy causing me to slur the words like a drunk as I slipped and fell back into the quickly becoming mud. "MMMMMOOOOVVVVEEEE!!!!" I mentally screamed, finally regaining a semblance of control as I managed to get to a kneeling position, struggling to control my breathing as I huffed and puffed. Unfortunately, as quickly as my moment of triumph began, it crashed just as fast as a black arm shot out, chokeholding me as it slammed me into the nearest tree.
"Thy repugnant wretch......I will end thee", she stated as she cocked back her other arm, glowing crackled of energy surrounding it as her fingers....if they could even be called that with how sharp the ends were, gathered together as if to form a spear.
However, just as it seemed the end was about to come, a strike of lightning struck the tree we were against, splintering it into hundreds of pieces as the force of the explosion, and the erupting fire from it, flung both me and the creature away. Landed as I did, my eyes stinging from the sensation, I struggled to get back up, my hands fumbling for a firm grip on something, anything really to help steady myself. Feeling around, I managed to get a grip on something, though my hand sunk into it like a water bed, or a soft pillow almost. Confused, I gingerly opened my eyes, to my horror, the bitch had looked at the same time as well. To our mutual shock, I had a firm grasp on her right boob, my hand gripping it hard as the shock of the incident was so heavy, it could be cut with a knife.
Quick to regain her composure, the bitch stood up, her robe all but torn and ripped to ashes as she flung it to the side. "H-how dare thine peasant touch thyself in such a manner!", she stammered, her confidence just as quickly lost again as she backhanded us, though with force nowhere near as hard as what she had been using before. "Now I can no longer be married!", she cried out, my cheek stinging as I rubbed it gently, anger welling up inside me.
"WELL MAYBE IF YOU DIDNT ENTER INTO MY HOME LIKE A DAFT BITCH, NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE EVER HAPPENED!", I shouted back at her, standing up firmly now, the jittering from the attacks earlier having all but disappated from my body at this point.
"N-nonsense! I am a QUEEN! I go where I please and you peasasnt all should bow to me!", she stated, as if it was the supreme truth in this world. Slowly looking over at me, I finally got a good look at the creature that called herself a queen, and whoa nelly was she rocking an A plus body. Logically, I was shocked that in such a dire situation, my body was finding ways to get turned on. But emotionally, it wasn't every day a 8 foot something amazoness ran into you, even if she was apparently trying to kill you.....or capture you, or whatever the fuck this bitch was trying to do to me.
Not noticing the expression she made at me as she apparently caught me in my staring, I failed to notice her slowly making her way over to me. "Dost thou.....enjoy what thineself see's?", she asked, almost timidly as her entire demeanor from earlier was gone completely. Nodding, I mumbled a confirmation, while at the same time, slumping over as the adrenaline that had been pumping my body until just recently was finally wearing off. Falling to the side, I gradually lost sight, the last thing I was able to take it, was a panicked shout as the queen bitch lunged at me, a weird white glow surrounding the growth sticking out of her head as darknesses cold hand enveloped me completely.
