My Life as a Changling

Hehehe, That actually tasted good, her conflicting emotions, revolution, confusion, and a bit of desire. That last part was a bit confusing though, I just wanted to mess with her. Oh, and the look on her face after I re-applied the gag was priceless. And by god was Peeko a messy eater, I didn’t even know a squirrel had that much blood. Guess now I have to clean her off so that she doesn't start smelling, or getting cranky for that matter. Still, it was kinda entertaining watching her try to lick the blood of herself like she was a cat.

“Hey shin, what die- oh, I see Peeko got her first real meal…”

“Yes Gilda, yes she did. I didn’t even know squirrels had that much blood.” I chuckled at her confused look, causing Peeko to squeal with laughter. “Of course, now she needs a bath.”

“No kidding.” With that, Gilda headed for the kitchen, the thought of meat more then likely making her hungry.

Lifting Peeko off my back, I set her down by the sink, and begun filling it with warm water, before picking Peeko back up, she took one look at the water, and freaked.

“Noooooo!”

Oh my God, she just spoke… I could feel tears of joy welling up in my eyes as I pulled her into a hug, even as I felt her surprise and confusion. After several minutes of simply cuddling her in joy, I felt her start squirming. “You still need a bath, don’t you?”

“No!” Well, there are worse option for her first spoken words…

“So you don’t want a bath?”

“No!”

“Okay, bath it is.”

“No!” This time, I ignored it, as she didn’t even know what it meant, she was just saying it because it was the only thing she knew how to say. Gently setting her down in the sink, Peeko flailed the moment she was in the water, splashing it everywhere. It wasn’t until I gave her stern look that she settled down, allowing me to grab a sponge and start washing off her chiten. She gave a protesting squeak at first, but soon the warmth of her bath had permeated her body, so she had stopped complaining and simply rested her chin on the rim of the sink, allowing the rest of her to relax and sink into the water.

“See? Baths aren't so bad, now are they?” Peeko cooed in response, enjoying being scrubbed down, as I managed to get the last of the blood off of her. Shutting the sink off, I picked Peeko up and placed her on my back, where she yawned. It was probably one of the cutest sounds I’ve ever heard.

...I still need to clean up the mess Peeko left in my room, don’t I?


After having used a very carefully controlled fire spell, I had managed to incinerate the remaining blood without damaging the floorboards at all, I just had to clean up the ashes left over from it, which was much easier than trying to clean up the blood that had soaked into the wood. Of course, I think I might have scared Sugar Bomb with my casual use of pyromancy, because she started hyperventilating when I set the mess Peeko had made eating on fire.

What had been bothering me though, was why none of the other eggs had hatched yet. was it just because of Peeko being a proto-Queen that she hatched faster, or was there something wrong?

No. I don’t need to start panicking, the last thing I want is to worry Peeko as well. After all I can still feel them, they’re just taking their time. They do feel pretty close though.

*Knock, knock* Opening the door to my room, I looked out to see Gilda standing there. “Uhh, hey. Just wanted to let you know, Trixie decided that she's going to drag me out to this place called the Salted Mare, apparently, they have Griffonia liquor, something I haven’t had in a long time, so… Yeah, you’re on your own for the rest of the night.”

“You do that.” She didn’t need to be told twice, and promptly exited the trailer alongside Trixie at a brisk pace.

Setting a sleeping Peeko down on the bed, I turned to see Sugar sitting in a corner, glaring at me.
