"Are you going to make me ask, or are you going to show me your new toy?" Randy asked.

"Let me eat something first." Alice said and got up to go to the kitchen.

"How are your folks doing?" Jenny asked as Alice dug around for something to eat.

"They're doin' good. Alice told me your grandmother passed. I'm sorry to hear that." Randy said.

"At least I got to say goodbye." Jenny said and turned to look back at Alice. "Should we just meet you and Randy at the noodle place?"

"Na, I was just going to go play on the air field." Alice's mouse tail dancing behind her.

"Isn't that a little dangerous?" Stacy asked.

"Not at all. She calls out to the tower and there is a large portion of unused runway and service roads." Jenny said

"Unless they are training pilots, it is usually free game." Alice said she finished off her juice.

The five headed down to the shop and were surprised to find Jim working on something all ready. "Morning." Jim said and wiped his hands on a rag.

"Looks like someone else is looking forward to snow." Jenny said as she walked over to him.

"Of course. I need to change the oil and adjust the track tension on Alice's and we will be ready to ride." Jim had his and Alice's sleds in the shop.

"Better get my board out and do a little prep work on it." Jenny said.

"I will have to get mine sent out. It will be fun to have someone to go boarding with." Stacy said.

"No doubt." Jenny smiled, she always wanted people to go do things with.

The whining rumble of the turbo charged ten cylinder grabbed everyone's attention. "That is nice." Randy said as he admired the twins' under hood handy work.

"I thought you would like it." Alice said.

Randy turned and looked down at Stacy. "Hey do me a favor an' hold onto my hat." With that Randy plopped his cowboy hat on Stacy's head and chuckled as the little lion turned red.

Alice closed and pined the hood. Randy had to loosen the belts, since Stacy was the last person to ride shot gun. "Little more room than your other one."

"And a whole lot more power." Alice backed out, once clear of the door, she goosed the throttle and jerked the wheel causing the front end to slide around. Alice grabbed first and they were gone.

He had ridden with Alice enough to know she was always in control no matter how sideways the car got. Unlike the Lotus, he couldn't read the gauges, but knew they were over a hundred when she up shifted.

"Am I mistaken or did you just grab a seventh gear?" Randy asked.

"You are not mistaken, this has a seven speed and right now we are crusin past two hundred." Alice said with a smile. It never was going to get old going this fast.

Randy laughed with Alice as she pitched the car sideways around a lengthy left hand turn. "Yeehaa."

"So what do you think?" Alice asked as she raced up and down the service roads.

"It suits you to a tee." Randy said.

Alice giggled. "I wasn't asking about the car. I was asking about Stacy."

"I know you and Jenny checked. Still a little hard to believe myself. Shy little thing, and darn cute." Randy said.

"Didn't you say all girls are shy around you?" Alice asked as she down shifted.

"Might have exaggerated that a little. And you an' Jenny are finally tying the knot, about time." Randy said with a smile.

"She was so nervous, I didn't think she would get all the words out." Alice said.

"Jenny nervous, now you are making things up." Randy laughed as they ripped past two hundred miles per hour again.

Back at the shop.

"So what division does Randy work for?" Nodrog asked as he looked over at the rig he had driven.

"He works for all of them. One trip might be to haul artifacts, the next medical equipment and the one after that might be a tank." Jim said.

"What kind of special trailer is he moving a part of?" Stacy asked.

Jim finished bolting the engine cover back on his sled. "It is a modular platform heavy haul trailer. Basically you can just keep joining modules together until you have enough trailer to handle the load."

"What are the counter weights for?" Nodrog asked.

"To put on the back of the winch truck so it can pull the platform trailer. Unlike the trailer Randy is pulling, which hooks to a plate above the rear axles. The platform trailer is pulled from a hitch located behind the truck." Jim grabbed some tools and got started on Alice's sled.

"You will both see it in action in the spring." Jenny said and turned to Jim. "Are you and Alice going to do a little snow racing this year?"

"Hadn't really thought about it, I am getting a little old for that kind of stuff." Jim chuckled.

"What about Wes?" Nodrog asked.

"You can't get him out of the house when it snows. He is a big baby when it comes to the cold." Jenny said.

"Joe's wife Katie and the twins are the only ones that like playing in the snow." Jim said and glanced around. "Did I leave the track tension gauge over there?"

Jenny walked over to his sled and looked around. "Yeah." Jenny picked it up and brought it over to Jim.

"Thanks." Jim said and got back to work.

Jenny laughed at Jim's expression. "Let me guess. Alice need's a new track."

"Little bit of an understatement. Oh well, it should be expected they way she drives and rides everything to its limit." Jim wrote himself a note and stuck it near the shop phone. He managed to mostly ignore Jenny's inappropriate laughter at a joke, only she would think of.

Jenny frowned when Nodrog's phone rang. "Hello." Nodrog said and walked away as Jim started using an air ratchet. It was not a very long conversation, as was usually the case if he had to leave.

"That will have to work, see you later." Nodrog said and closed his phone. "Don't worry, it was Winston. He needed to change a practice date."

"Okay. Because you do have class tomorrow." Jenny said and glanced over at Stacy. She could see he was still a little nervous about what to do, with the too big cowboy hat he was just too cute. Jenny pulled out her phone, quickly navigated a menu with just her thumb and with a quick 'click' snapped a picture of him. With the background noise, no one would have heard it.

Jenny smiled as she examined the picture. She saved it and sent it to Alice's phone, knowing full well Alice would have Randy check it. 'I'm so mischievous, I even impress myself.' Jenny pocketed her phone after her quiet comment to herself.

"Are you up to no good again?" Jim asked.

Nodrog and Stacy looked at Jenny. "Who me?" Jenny asked with the most innocent face she could manage. "Just muttering to myself over a text, honest."

"What class do you have?" Jim asked, as he turned to face Nodrog and lean against Alice's sled.

"Tomorrow is my first day assisting Lucy with her language class. I am really looking forward to it, should be fun." Nodrog was also thinking Jenny was up to no good, he had read her thoughts to see what she was up to. He also agreed the little lion was cute in his nervousness. Which persisted after Alice and Randy got back.

"Thanks cutie." Randy said when Stacy handed him his hat back. "Since we are playing with expensive toys, you and Jim should check out mine."

"Did you get it finished?" Jim asked.

Randy nodded yes and motioned for them to follow. Jenny pushed Stacy along with them. If she could get a metal monster to open up, a gender confused lion should be a piece of cake.

Jim pulled the driver's door open. The inside of the rig was more function over form than either of Alice's cars, but like her cars, not a inch of it was factory. The over head lights and gauges glowed blue.

Alice had skipped around to the other side so she could climb in. "Certainly has come a long way from when you started."

"This was my grandfathers, and needed a lot of work. It sat neglected in a barn for a good twenty years, and needed work before he had to park it." Randy said. Alice, Jenny and Jim knew the story behind it, Nodrog and Stacy did not.

"I get this feeling you like the color blue..." Jenny teased. Since the truck was painted a pearl blue, and she could see blue throughout the inside. Like Alice, Randy was not much for chrome, well normal chrome. The truck had a large amount of black chrome on it.

"It's my favorite color. The frame was rotted pretty bad, replacing it was the only option. I got a longer unit so I could run triple drive axles. The trans got a rebuild and the motor... Well it went a little farther." Randy said.

"Your cousin is a bad influence." Jenny said to tease Alice.

"Alice, bad? Never." Nodrog added with a smile.

"Well I needed more power to heavy haul. So we added a little more, which lasted all of a month before I added more. Right now it's running twin turbos and is estimated to be putting seven hundred and forty or fifty horse power to the ground." Randy said and could tell that got Alice and Jim interested.

"You haven't dynoed it at a show?" Alice asked.

Randy shook his head. "No one has a dyno for triples. I would have to disconnect the rear drive axle, more work than it's worth."

"Speaking of trouble, we need to get going or we will be late." Jenny said as she checked her watch.

Jim caught Alice by her jacket hood. "Hold it right there, young lady."

"Um, Jenny did it..." Alice shrugged and Jenny swatted her ass. At least Nodrog and Randy thought it was funny.

"Come see me tomorrow so you can pay for a new track for your sled." Jim said.

Alice nodded yes. "Don't worry I will. I need it one hundred percent so I can kick some ass this winter."

"Well that answers part of that question." Nodrog said.

"Do you ever do that kind of stuff for fun, or do you always compete?" Stacy asked as they headed off to get a ride to the noodle place.

Alice just laughed. "I don't always compete, but I certainly will not turn down a challenge. I have driven and ridden hundreds of miles just for fun. Like when I took you for a ride in the viper, that was just for fun."

Jenny put an arm around Alice. "One day last year she ran two tanks of gas through her sled pulling me around on my board."

"That sounds like a blast." Stacy said.

"I guess Sherman is the only one who would appreciate the simple joys of hunting in fresh snow." Nodrog chuckled as they got on the shuttle bus.

"No, have to admit I enjoy that winter activity myself." Randy and Nodrog sat across from the three girls.

"Carnivores..." Alice scoffed.

Jenny leaned closer to Alice. She placed a hand on Alice's leg and lightly whispered in her ear. "But you are my favorite prey, to chase and eat."

Alice instantly blushed and Jenny just giggled. Nodrog and Randy ignored them.

"You should come out to the ranch sometime, we have plenty of land to hunt on. Course nowadays you have to get a license and other government bologna." Randy said.

"They seem to have their hand in everything. Still would be fun, haven't hunted for a while." Nodrog said.

"I am guessing you know how to use a bow." Randy said as he glanced out the window. He only tolerated large cities, to crowded and noisy.

"I can use most ancient and modern weapons. Have bows seen the same improvement as firearms?" Nodrog asked.

"They have, as have the arrows. Still, part of the fun is in the chase." Randy said and gave Stacy a wink.

Nodrog and Jenny both smiled. "That it is."

Stacy and Alice were now both a little nervous and thankful it was a short walk to the noodle place. Where Ron and Lucy were all ready waiting for them.

"Hello." Alice's parents said as the five walked up to them.

"Are we late?" Jenny asked and looked at her watch.

"Of course not dear, we are just a little early." Lucy said and gave Jenny a hug after Alice.

"At least with Randy we are not terribly out numbered." Ron said and shook both the boy's hands.

"So how is my sister and your dad doing?" Lucy asked as they walked inside.

They were seated quickly and Randy caught them up on a little more now that they were in a quieter place. Nodrog was glad Stacy was a little more talkative today than he was at the concert.

Alice managed to suppress a squeak as Jenny and Nodrog's tails snaked around hers. Of course she was stuck between them. Annoyingly neither of them showed any sign that they were doing anything at all. Still it was these little things that made her love them all that much more.

"What time is your training done?" Randy asked.

Stacy paused. "I'm not really sure. Why?"

"So we can go out, just the two of us." Randy said with a smile.

Alice, Jenny and Lucy all giggled as he nearly dropped his spoon. Stacy didn't know what to say, and his embarrassment didn't help.

"You are supposed to say 'yes'." Jenny whispered to him.

The only reason he could was the fact Nodrog had mostly said Randy knew his little secret. Stacy was nervous about it, but it had been a while since someone asked him out on a date and not just a let me fuck you date.

Nodrog did draw a little attention today while they were out. Considering he was the only one bare foot and without a coat in low forty degree weather. Due to his nature, you could see his breath in the above freezing temps.

"Are you sure you aren't cold?" Ron asked as the three guys waited for the girls to go in a store.

"Perfectly comfortable. Considering if I were not altered, I wouldn't be wearing clothes in the first place." Nodrog said.

"Good point, however like eating, you might have to adjust for appearance sake when it gets colder." Ron said and caught Nodrog's confusion. "Alice told me."

"She is not very good at keeping secrets some times." Randy said thinking mainly of Stacy.

Nodrog shrugged. "She only tells people she trusts. After all she did make up a very elaborate lie on my behalf."

"Did you ever get a new phone?" Ron asked.

"I did, still the same number." Nodrog said and let out a long slow breath to watch it drift away.

"Lucy was asking, in case she needed to call you if things needed to change." Ron said.

"I heard you would be helping with some of her classes." Randy said, the three had wandered down to a little stand selling coffee.

"First one is tomorrow." Nodrog and Randy noticed a slight change of mood in Ron now that they were well out of the girl's ear shot. "Something wrong?"

Ron paid for his and Randy's coffee. "Alice has been acting a little strange. Jenny had mentioned something to me in a text. I have to ask, is everything all right? And don't tell me you don't know."

With practice only a thousand years of lying can give, Nodrog looked Ron straight in the eye and said. "There is nothing to worry about. However just because I can read their minds, does not mean I do it constantly."

"I think she is just excited and nervous about their wedding. Alice would tell you if something was wrong." Randy said.

"That had crossed my mind. Once you have kids, you will understand." Ron said. They all turned as the gaggle of giggling girls found them. With a few things in hand.

The rest of the afternoon passed by quickly and in better spirits. Nodrog carried the things Alice and Jenny bought. Randy carried Stacy's and Ron carried Lucy's. They split ways a little before supper time. "Well once again we did not plan anything for dinner." Alice said as they rode the shuttle back.

"Did Jim and Carrel expect you for meals?" Jenny asked.

"No, I said I would fend for myself. If they had not offered a room I would have just stayed in the truck." Randy said.

"Lets see what Sherman and Samantha are up too, maybe meet them in the lounge." Jenny said and called Samantha's phone.

"Is your mom as... interesting as Alice's mother?" Nodrog asked.

Randy paused to think about it. "For the most part. She teaches veterinary care and animal science at the university back home."

"You will find Ron and Randy are the only ones without crazy college education in Alice's family. Not that it's a bad thing." Jenny said.

"We are more gentleman of practical skill. I took some classes but just never got interested past that." Randy said.

"Don't think I would fit in the gentleman category with my practical skills." Nodrog said.

"I keep forgetting to ask, how many languages do you know?" Alice asked while Jenny and Samantha made some plans.

"Counting the ones you haven't heard of?" Nodrog asked, he actually had to mentally count them.

"Sure." Alice said.

"Eight from this world along with; Draconic, Elven, Monster, and Shadow. So twelve total." Nodrog said.

Chapter.

"That is rather impressive considering you had to learn them without modern teaching methods. Samantha said they would meet us there, after they got dressed." Jenny said with a naughty little grin.

"I am impressed modern English has not been much of a problem." Alice said. They all looked at him a little odd when he laughed.

"What's so funny?" Stacy asked.

"It only has not been a problem because you have so many books. The dictionary is my friend." Nodrog said.

"I had wondered why there was a book mark in it... You could have asked us." Jenny said.

"Would you ask us?" Alice teased.

Jenny starred at Alice as she thought about it. "...Never mind."

"He would be so confused." Randy chuckled as they got off the shuttle.

"Either that or think everything was about sex." Stacy realized to late he had said it out loud.

"Hey!" Alice and Jenny cried out. Nodrog and Randy were nearly rolling in hysterics.

Since Nodrog and Randy thought it was funny, Stacy laughed with them, which caused Alice and Jenny to try and chase him. Stacy could out run Alice, but Jenny was catching up to Stacy. Neither were paying enough attention and ran into Samantha.

"Do you mind?" Samantha asked after the two recovered from the shock of running into her. Jenny's momentum carried them both into the taller woman's chest.

"What in the world do the two of you find so funny?" Sherman asked.

"Stacy got Jenny and Alice good. Come on, I'll tell you inside." Nodrog said still chuckling.

After they ordered, Nodrog explained what they had found so funny. To Alice's dismay Sherman and Samantha both laughed along with them. "We aren't that bad."

"I would beg to differ considering your rather bold actions that one night." Samantha said with crossed arms, but a clear tease in her voice.

"Speaking of begging..." Jenny teased back.

"Do I want to know?" Randy asked Nodrog as the girls continued with the innuendos.

"Probably not." Nodrog said.

"We'll leave it at Jenny is not the only one that can be bad." Sherman said.

"Got ya. And to think Alice was such an innocent and sweet thing." Randy said and chuckled when Alice slapped his arm. "Still hits like a girl though."

"What about her younger racing career?" Samantha asked.

Randy looked over at Alice. "She was a road terror back then too. But while she did win, a lot, she was always humble about it. Alice never rubbed it in when she won. I don't think she started teasing and taunting until she started the not sanctioned stuff with Wes and Mike."

"Even then she only teased and taunted her friends. Never the competition." Jenny said with a smile. "But Wes, Tim and Mike wouldn't let anyone tease or threaten 'their' little mouse."

Alice took a drink and grabbed a nacho. "Actually, the three of them wouldn't let anyone bad mouth or threaten any of us female drivers. Granted the majority of the guys were cool, there were a few assholes."

"Usually a few in every group. I can't imagine your pop was thrilled with you doing that." Samantha said and reached for a nacho herself.

"While not thrilled, he didn't tell me to stop. Neither of my parents told me to stop ever. In fact they pushed my brother and I to pursue everything our hearts wanted. If someone told us we couldn't do something, then our parents encouraged us to prove that person wrong." Alice said and tossed the chip in her mouth.

"What does your brother do?" Samantha asked.

"He is a writer and photographer for a travel magazine. He has been to twice as many countries as I have. Including an ascent of Mount Everest and several Great Barrier Reef dives." Alice said and dug for a chip with just cheese on it. "He even entered the Tour De France, and managed not to finish last."

"I am guessing far from first." Nodrog said.

"If I remember right, he was in the middle. Which isn't bad for his first try." Jenny said.

Alice noticed Nodrog had gotten lost in thought once more. 'Everything okay?' Alice silently asked as the others continued on.

Nodrog smiled. 'Mostly, this kind of setting is still taking a little getting used to. However you father asked me if everything was okay with you.' Nodrog and Alice both laughed when Stacy swatted Jenny's hand away from trying to steal an onion ring from his plate.

'I was afraid of that... You didn't say anything?' Alice mentally asked as she cut into her meal, eggplant parmesan. Every time she talked with him this way the easier it became to carry on two conversations at once.

'You asked me to keep it a secret and I will. Jenny suspects something and brought it to his attention. I do not have the amount of insight they have, so I am not seeing it.' Nodrog mentally replied.

'It's still too soon to tell anyone...' Alice thought. He gave her tail a light squeeze, it was all the reassurance she needed. After dinner they called it a night and went their separate ways.

Alice did not think she was acting any different. Jenny had only asked her once, despite outward appearances, Jenny was very observant. Still, it was too soon to tell anyone about it.

"I'm glad Randy asked Stacy out. They make a cute couple." Jenny said as Nodrog closed the apartment door.

Alice and Jenny both giggled as Nodrog put his arms around the two of them. "Not nearly as cute as the two of you."

"Hey now, it's the three of us." Alice said.

Nodrog smiled. "Except I don't do cute." He chuckled as he got his fingers under their shirts and tickled them both. They squirmed and laughed trying to get away from him. With little effort he picked them up and carried them to the couch and sat down.

"Are you going to let us go?" Jenny asked, thankful he quit tickling them.

Nodrog hummed as he gave it a little thought. "I am never going to let you go."

"Then we will never let go of you." Alice said and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Except we should probably go to bed. We do have work tomorrow." Jenny said and rested her head against his other shoulder.

He gave them both a little squeeze before letting them go. They each gave him a kiss and headed back to get ready for bed. Nodrog got up and headed to his room to take a shower and change into his shorts. A quick shower and a bottle of blood finished off getting ready for the night.

Nodrog sat down on the couch and picked up the game controller. The racing game held his interest for a while. After a couple hours he had only managed to beat one of Alice's quickest times. Which probably was due to a little more luck than skill.

Between the two different encounters with the church's men, that part of him was content... for now. The two girls had done a very good job of keeping his other desires entertained. Nodrog smiled as he remember the five of them in his room completely spent and in complete bliss.

Nodrog heard the alarm go off twice before he heard Jenny and Alice actually moving around. They really did not like Mondays. Jenny came out first, her hair a lovely mess and her over sized shirt hanging off of a shoulder. Nodrog got up and walked over to her.

Jenny cooed as he put his arms around her and kissed the back of her neck. "mmm. Morning love."

"Morning love." Nodrog said and decided to give her a little kitchen fun this morning.

Jenny spread her legs as his hand teased her thigh moving slowly up and under her shirt. Her panties offering little protection from his advances. "oh you naughty dragon."

"Be a good kitty and purr for me." Nodrog said quietly as he slid her panties aside.

Jenny giggled and purred as he penetrated her with his finger. She arched her back laying her head against him and pressing her ass against the bulge in his shorts. The pot of coffee she was trying to get started quickly forgotten as she came.

Jenny leaned forward her tail nearly strait up in the air pullin her shirt up exposing her ass. She gave a little wiggle and purred, quietly begging for more. "meow."

Nodrog caught the tip of her tail in his mouth as he held her panties aside pushing his entire length and knot into her.

Jenny stood up on her tip toes and pushed back against him using the counter top for a little leverage. Her cheeks flushed from the deep penetration this position allowed. She still felt a little odd about enjoying him when she was still very much only interested in women.

Alice paused while brushing her hair. She smiled as she recognized Jenny's moans coming from the kitchen. When Alice finished getting ready for work she found Jenny tied to Nodrog. Her hair even messier and very amusingly Jenny had a cup of coffee in her hand. "Now that is an amusing sight."

"Want a cup?" Jenny was still leaning on the counter top, his thick cum slowly running down her legs. At least she would have time for a quick shower.

"Without cream." Alice snickered.

"Both of you are in naughty moods." Jenny said and moaned as their little movement teased her more.

Alice went out to the living room and clicked the TV to the news. "Since you do not have to be on campus until nine, you have plenty of time to clean up your mess."

Nodrog and Jenny both let out a sigh as the tie ended. Jenny made her way back to the bedroom and took her soaked panties off in the bathroom. Nodrog cleaned up the mess in the kitchen before heading to his room to get dressed.

Jenny and Alice both ate a light breakfast and headed off to their lab. Nodrog poured himself a cup of coffee and munched on a bar until he needed to catch the shuttle out.

They picked him up a light jacket to wear and had it mended to allow room for his wings. After a short ride on the shuttle he caught the trolley to campus. The air was brisk this morning and few of the trees had leaves left on them. As Nodrog made his way to Lucy's office, the campus was slowly becoming more active.

"Bright and early I see. Did you have any trouble finding my office?" Lucy asked as she walked up to him.

"None at all. Am I early?" Nodrog asked as she unlocked her office.

"Right on time. One of my history students caught me to ask a question." Lucy said. She hung her long wool coat up and clicked on a few lights as she made her way to her desk. "Have a seat."

Nodrog took his coat off and sat across from her. Her office was adorned with pictures of her at various points of her career. There were pictures of Alice during her racing career, and just a few of them together. Several awards and achievements hung on the walls or sat on crowded book shelves. Her office window over looked the large commons area from the second floor.

"Are you a little nervous or excited?" Lucy asked as she checked her campus mail.

"I am a bit excited. I have been looking forward to this for a while." Nodrog said.

"I'm glad to hear that. This morning is my advanced level class, we will have a short break before my intermediate class." Lucy glanced over a few papers. "My advanced level class is done entirely in Egyptian, the intermediate is mixed."

"I thought you had three classes today?" Nodrog asked.

"The third is an intro class. I have a history class in-between them. You are more than welcome to sit through that. Some time in there we will have lunch." Lucy said.

"Sounds like a very enjoyable day." Nodrog said. Lucy and Alice shared the same bright eyed smile.

Nodrog followed Lucy down to one of four different class rooms they would be in during the day. The advanced class happened to be the smaller of them. All of her students talked to her and each other in the language throughout the entire class.

Today he was helping them prepare for an oral exam later in the semester. His thought that it might be boring was pleasantly incorrect and he enjoyed every minute of it. In fact both morning classes passed by quickly.

They stopped back at her office so she could get her history lesson picked up before heading down to the commons for a little lunch. "You are a natural teacher." Lucy said with a partly hidden smile behind her drink.

"Thank you. I was not sure what to expect. You do a very good job of making it easy for me." Nodrog said.

"When you enjoy what you do, it is never work." Lucy said. She could see why Alice liked him so much. He was handsome and very articulate no matter what language he spoke. Nodrog shared a few traits with her husband, both were incredibly smart despite their lack of formal higher education. Both were very interesting men and had an innate ability to hold everyone's attention in a crowd.

"I have heard that before." Nodrog said. The two talked lunch away and Nodrog took a seat off to the side for her history class. It was hard to resist the urge to correct some facts, but he managed.

The afternoon passed almost as quickly with the intro class being the most difficult of the day. He followed Lucy back to her office to collect his coat. "Now that you have made it through the whole day what do you think?"

"I had a wonderful time. I look forward to coming back later in the year." Nodrog said as he put on his coat.

"I am happy to hear that. Tell my two daughters I say hello." Lucy said with a flirty smile.

"I will. Have a good evening." Nodrog said and headed to the trolley stop for the ride back home.

Nodrog was waiting for the company shuttle bus and turned when Stacy called out to him. The little lion was holding hands with Randy as the two walked over to him. "Hello."

"Howdy." Randy replied.

"How was class?" Stacy asked. The little lion was almost glowing he was so happy.

"I enjoyed it. How was your afternoon?" Nodrog asked.

"I know I had a wonderful time." Randy said.

"He is a perfect gentleman, it was a very pleasant change. I haven't enjoyed a date this much in a long time." Stacy said. He held a small bag in his hand.

"I am sure Alice and Jenny will want to hear all about it." Nodrog said.

The three talked all the way back to the compound. Nodrog followed them to the shop so Randy could see what Jim and Kenny found out. Randy's truck and trailer were pulled in the far bay. Jim and Kenny were both leaning against a work bench.

"Hey." Jim and Kenny said as the three walked over to them.

"Well what's the verdict?" Randy asked.

"Almost got your truck finished. We are out of the fuel filters you use, that will be here tomorrow." Kenny said.

"The trailer will probably take a couple days. The reason the hydraulics are slow is the steel line running from the tank to the pump is collapsed. The filter was not really dirty so we are not sure." Jim said and scratched the stubble on his chin.

"It was a good twenty bellow out when I last used them, maybe the fluid was just too thick to pump." Randy said.

"Especially if there was any water in the tank. We will have to flush the system and wait for a steel line to be sent out from the manufacture." Jim said.

Randy looked down at Stacy. "Darn stuck here a few more days."

"Terrible, I know." Stacy giggled.

Nodrog glanced over to the snow machines. "Did Alice make it down to pay for a track?"

"She did, it will be here tomorrow as well. How did teaching go?" Jim asked.

"It went well. Alice takes after her mother a great deal." Nodrog said.

"We should go find my cousin and show her what we found you." Randy said.

"See you later." Stacy said as he and Randy headed off to the lab.

Nodrog leaned against a tool box while Jim went to answer the phone.

"The two of them hit it off rather quickly." Kenny said after the shop door had closed.

"That they did. From what I gathered, Alice was working on setting them up before Randy pulled into town." Nodrog said.

"That pair can be rather sneaky when they want to be." Kenny said.

"That is no doubt. The firemen are here to test the pumps. Do you want to hold down the shop or go with them?" Jim asked.

"You went the last two times, I'll go give them a hand." Kenny said.

Alice and Jenny were working on cleaning up the lab. "Why do we still have this?" Jenny asked as she held up the short rusted length of chain Jim had cut off of Nodrog.

"I don't know, but why is it so rusted now?" Alice asked as she walked over to Jenny.

Jenny laid it down on a table. "Do you think the scale we cut off did the same?"

"I don't know. I will see if they still have it." Alice said and quickly went down to the other lab.

"What are you working on?" Stacy asked as Randy and him walked over to Jenny.

"Well, we don't know. See this cut mark on the large ring here?" Jenny asked and pointed to the plasma cutters distinctive mark.

"Yeah." Randy and Stacy said.

Jenny looked up at them. "That is from Jim cutting this ring and chain section off of Nodrog's back the day we found him. It looked new that day, now it looks four hundred years old."

"The scale is the same way." Alice said as she brought the sealed container over to them. Inside a small rusted piece of metal.

"I guess I don't follow why that is strange. It would be no different than us shedding skin cells or fur, right?" Stacy asked.

While the three talked Jenny picked up the little container and looked at the rusted bit of metal. Jenny dropped it and took several quick steps back as she saw the rusted nightmare dragon standing across the room sneering at her. "You're not real!" Jenny yelled as she knocked a small cart over.

Alice, Stacy and Randy looked at Jenny then to the empty place she was looking at. Randy went over to help her up, Jenny was shaking almost uncontrollably.

"Nodrog! Do something about him!" Jenny yelled and struggled to get free from Randy's grip as Nodrog walked in the room.

Nodrog spotted what she was pointing at. Everyone saw what Jenny was freaking out over when Nodrog grabbed the rusted imposter. "I am not amused." Nodrog said in monster as he held what looked like a rusted and decomposing version of himself.

"Neither are they, that girl never should have done that." Dead Nodrog hissed in monster.

Nodrog spoke in a different language and the rusted him screamed in pain. The creature changed form and with a quick stomp, Nodrog caught a second creature under his foot. One of his large and sharp claws a hair width away from that creature's face.

Jenny was the first to move closer to look at the small female he held in his hand, not much larger than a rat. "Fairies?"

The female in his hand gave her a cold and hate filled look. Jenny figured she had started yelling monster obscenities to her when Nodrog tightened his grip causing the woman incredible pain.

Nodrog bent down and picked up the male of the duo. "You both know the rules. I could crush you both now and be done with it."

"Go ahead you metal abomination." The male said.

"He is not an abomination the two of you are." Jenny said. She was going to say more but Azule appeared before them.

Nodrog turned to look at Alice. "We will be back in a little while. Jenny, come with me."

Alice, Randy and a terrified Stacy watched as the two disappeared into the shadow who then vanished. "Let me turn off the lights. I will try and explain what I think is going on."

Randy picked Stacy up and carried him to Alice's apartment. "That was certainly frightening."

Jenny recognized the room they stepped into. It was the one they had come to for the trial. Nightrunner however was not present, his sister Eitak was. "My brother apologies for not being able to be here. What can I do to help?"

Nodrog held up the two fairies. "These two were harassing my female friend."

"Follow me." Eitak said.

Nodrog still held onto the fairies tightly as he and Jenny followed Eitak. Jenny noticed the monsters giving her a wider berth then they had the last time. "I'm afraid I have neglected to tell you that you are marked, and what exactly that means." Nodrog said.

Eitak picked up two ornate lanterns and Nodrog placed each fairy into one. "These are fairy prisons. Now tell me what happened."

Jenny told her what had happened. She even figured Nodrog had used magic to turn them back into their fairy form.

"I am impressed. You and Alice have caught on very quickly. It will take a little time to look into who they were taking orders from. I do think I should explain what your mark means." Eitak said and leaned against the desk.

"I suppose it has to do with willingly offering him my blood." Jenny said sheepishly.

"It does as does allowing him to partially change you. Both of those are blood contracts, and by fully giving him your blood by your own choice you gain a mark. All monsters especially those who consume blood can clearly see Nodrog's mark above your head." Eitak said and placed her finger above her own head to indicate where the mark was.

"It tells them I am taken correct?" Jenny asked.

"It tells them you are solely his property, to do with as he sees fit. By monster law your life is no longer yours, it is his. Jenny you are his willing slave, that is how serious a blood contract is." Eitak said.

"Now you know why I did not want to accept your blood." Nodrog said.

"Except I know you would never harm me." Jenny said.

"It is not that simple Jenny. There are laws you have to follow. I will have to get them translated to English for you." Eitak said.

"You get a little more freedom than most blood slaves since I am different from most. Plus your world is not one that enforces them." Nodrog said.

"They will apply when you are here with him, or are in the presence of other monsters. That means you will have to get her a collar Nodrog." Eitak said.

"Wait collar?" Jenny asked and put her hands up to her neck.

"Yes, you will be expected to wear it all the time." Eitak said.

Jenny looked up at Nodrog. "But if I am yours..."

"You still have too." Nodrog said.

"Do I at least get a say in what kind?" Jenny asked.

"A little." Nodrog said with a naughty smile.

His teasing smile at least reassured her. "So master what about those little bastards?" Jenny called him that in jest. But blushed when Eitak laughed.

"I see she has all ready learned her place." Eitak chuckled.

"What they did would be considered an indirect attack on me, so I could crush them if you wanted." Nodrog said.

Jenny looked down at the two Fairies and smiled cruelly. "Or worse."

"Or worse. But. They had mentioned others were not happy about your actions defending me..." Nodrog said and smiled as Jenny caught on.

"And they would fall under causing me harm as well." Jenny said.

"Exactly. It will take a little time to get them to talk, but I am very good at getting monsters to talk." Eitak said. The two fairies were not nearly as bold as they had been earlier.
