The world expands ch.6 - secrets, anger and tears
#6 of The world expands
Quick warning to those who are against some of the stuff included in this "novel" if you want to call it that, there will be sadness, romance, sex, hints of vore since were dealing with Sergals, tons of swearing and the life of a young man on the road to living with these creatures, hope you enjoy it being my first story ill be uploading atleast 3 chapters a week or more depending on my work schedule, thank you for reading and enjoy :3 , ask questions or leave feedback !
this is a shorter chapter, as i wanted to get this one out since it's one of my favorites so far on the "feelings" scale also the first chapter incorporating the view switching between the characters, it will probably be the only chapter to do this as i wanted to get as much feelings out of the characters as i could and the only way to do that is to see through they're eyes
Sweat, the cold sweat dribbled down my face, i was lost in a sea of people and now meeting another "person" i didn't know even existed
"Awe, well you picked a cute one sis, i love his hair, i didn't think you were into humans though, you always said they were better as a snack then a date, but then again i couldn't understand you with 4 of them packed into your mouth haha"
Cherry's brother was probably the most feminine dude iv ever met, but then again just taking a look at him would show off some of it, his shirt, a yellow button up was halfway open exposing the same fur pattern that Cherry owned, he also wore khaki shorts and a necklace with some sort of writing on i-....
did he just say as a snack?, packed...in mouth!?
"..wha...as... as a sna-?" i couldn't even finish my sentence, did my brother know that she ate humans?, did he know and just not tell me?, did everyone know!?, i could feel my face go pale, the cold sweat i had from that nightmare returned in full force, the world started to go fuzzy, i felt like i was gonna drop dead
my stress finally showed its face
The panic consumed me, before even one of them could say a single word i booked it out, leaving everything behind i jumped onto my skateboard as soon as i got out the front door and pushed away as fast as i could
I..NEEDED..TO...LEAVE
i don't know where i was going but i was going somewhere fast, i didn't care where i was going either, i jsut needed to get out of there, was the only reason she was getting close to me was to turn me into a mid night snack?, That bitch!, i let myself fall for a fucking ploy to get me turned into someones dinner, all because i liked her enough to trust her, obviously, sergals could not be trusted..
CHERRYS POINT OF VIEW
My names Cherry, im 19 years old, i come from the land of Terriko, a small town up towards the snowy tipped mountains, i was born in a small house with my brother Sanny, we were the daughter and son of one of the most feared combatants of the land, my mother Rayota was a lethal assassin for the small order of the red stain, they were a feared group hired to take out government officials and other such high ranking people, she was known as the consumer she loved killing and eating smaller victims which i must have been passed down to me since that was one of my favourite pass times, and on the other hand was my dad, a caring loving man who would show nothing more then compassion for me and my brother, i never knew him long as he mysteriously disappeared when i was still a cub, we are a northern sergal family, as you could tell by looking at my long coat of fur, me and my brother are whats considered a "red night" sergal, a rare color variation of fur making it look like a red stripe down our mid sections only to be surrounded by a jet black cloak, it was said in our culture that a female red night was considered to be the greatest killer, as i got older my mother tried to get me into the "killing spirit!" as she called it, my brother was not aloud to partake as he was a male, the killing spirit involved torturing and consuming small creatures known as humans since they were easy to get too and could feel the same emotions as us, it was kind of like training, i will admit they tasted amazing, especially when they wiggled around as you swallow them whole, but i left home years later, i didn't want to become an assassin like my mom, i wanted to make my own destiny, i will admit, i did keep with this "killing spirit" i loved the taste of humans, i couldn't get enough of them i tried other animals but they just couldn't compare,humans.. they were easy to seduce then to bring into a dark ally and tuck them away before they could even scream, i was well known in the community for it, and i was proud of it too.
after a while of living in downtown Shiro i realized i needed to get out of the shitty apartment i was living in so i asked my long time friends Emma and Emiley if i could stay with them, which surprisingly i ended up being with the one thing that i couldn't bear to be around without my mouth watering constantly, a human, a human by the name of James, the only human that i thought i could enjoy being around as we shared a similar taste in video games and Emiley and Emma wouldn't let me get a taste, and i doubt his close friends Rev and Kelly would let me either, im okay with befriending a human but watching some sergals become a mated pair with them sickened me, they weren't for dating, they were for snacking , well thats what i thought, until i met the one......
"SANNY WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT!?" i couldn't help but scream at my idiotic brother, i had dragged him out into the backyard so i could finally let that out, i didn't want to attract unneeded attention
"wait, you didn't tell him about your...hunger?" i gawked, my mouth fell open, he was unbelievable sometimes, i mean how could you be that dense!?, out of anything i could tell Layne why would it be about eating his kind, im sure that would be a real great way to get to his heart
"..your joking right?, i couldn't tell him that, i may as well just ask him to never talk or look my direction again because apparently that's about to be the case" i was scared, the first time iv ever been scared before, i was scared to loose someone i was starting to let into my life, someone i cared for
"you know, out of anyone he should have the right to know about this" i will admit, he had a point, if i didn't tell him and instead left it as a secret and he eventually found out?, it would ruin him, unless he was already ruined..
"...i know, i know, but i wanted to get him a bit closer, maybe he would trust me enough to let it go.." those were high hopes now that i think about it
"Cherry, you know i love you, your my sister and one of my best friends and i would want nothing more then to make you happy, that's why i think you should tell him about this problem, the closer he gets without knowing about who you truly are, the farther he would push away when he finds out" the truth hurt, it hurt bad, i could feel my stomach knot up into a ball, iv only known this boy for 3 days now, but i could tell he was supposed to be mine,
a voice rang out behind us
"hey, what happened? layne just rushed out like something bad happened" it was Rev, he was wearing an obvious face of concern, everyone knew about my "hunger" as my brother stated
"he... he ran out?..."
it was the only words i could get out of my mouth, i could feel my throat go dry and my eyes fog up with tears... i lost him...
he walked over and rubbed my back a bit obviously noticing the sad look, i was trying to keep tears from rolling down my cheeks, but i was close to not being able to hold back
"what happened?" Rev wore a face that almost made him look frightened
"..he found out.."
i shouldn't have hid something as hideous as this away from someone i care about, but i felt something else... i felt anger... why would he run away from me like that!? without even talking to me first!?, what if it was just a joke, or a misunderstanding, did he really toy with my emotions like this and not even trust me!?, the little bastard was gonna pay for teasing me... the daughter of Rayota...
Rev stared at me, his face of fear turned into a face of sadness, my brother put his arm around my shoulder
"lets go back inside sis, the party's about to end"
LAYNES POV
I was exhausted, i had been going as fast as i could for over 20 minutes, the only thing keeping me going was the fear that i would have to go back soon, it was getting dark and id rather be stuck in a house with one hungry sergal then over a thousand outside
i put my foot down, my board slowed and i looked around to find myself by a park, i picked up my board and walked over to a bench situated under a large tree
it was nice out, even from all the pushing and my legs going numb i couldn't help but notice the nice breeze and the sky starting to show stars as it got closer to becoming dark out
i would have to go back soon...
i didnt want to, i wanted to leave and never come back, i felt betrayed, scared, and i felt like i was gonna break down into tears, just as i was starting to feel like i belonged here, like i was cared about, it was all taken away from me, in the matter of one sentence i lost all faith in my new friends, no one even bothered to tell me about her "secret" , not even a warning?
"they were probably just waiting to get there hands on me too..." i felt lost..
As the hours passed i sat on the same bench staring at the stars, i just wanted to leave this place and forget everything and everyone, i wanted to go back home and cuddle up in my own bed and just forget..
i put my board down and was slowly on my way back home, it was time to face my fears.
as i neared the house, i noted the lights were all off, and it seemed everyone had departed back to there houses
my plan, i was going to sneak into the house, grab my things as quietly as i can, get on my bike and leave, find a hotel and stay there until i could book a trip back home
i opened the door quietly, the only noise leaving it was the door knobs mechanism latching into the frame
i creeped up the stairs making pretty much no noise what so ever and rushed into my room, i immediately started packing everything, until i heard a noise that made my hair stand
the door closed..
and instead of the open door way i saw a wall of red and black fur
It was Cherry
She stared at me with anger in her eyes as she closed the latch on the door, her teeth bared and a low growl coming out of her chest
"i cared for you, and this is what i get in return!?" i couldn't help it, i started shaking, i had never heard a sergal shout and it was the scariest thing i could have ever heard in my life, a low raspy voice took over her once sweet sounding voice
that's when it happened
She pounced..
her fangs bared and her claws stretched out in front of her, a ravenous look in her eyes, i dived to the side only to receive a narrow miss and a small slice into my arm from one of her claws, i felt nothing but fear, my eyes teared up as i realized the nightmare i had might come true, i was going to be consumed by Cherry
CHERRYS POV
I pounced, i felt anger overtake my body as i tried to sink my teeth and claws into him, i narrowly missed and instead took a head first dive into the bed
i got up immediately to once again charge at him, the little fucker threw a towel into my face, i was blinded for a few seconds only to hear him run into his bathroom and slam the door
"haha... your trapped now my little morsal" i licked my lips thinking about this one, i would make him bleed for toying with my emotions only to storm off without me, he would pay, no one plays around with me like that..
i slammed against the door, it let out a loud creak as a chunk of it broke off i reached through and grabbed him by the shirt with my teeth and whipped him out of the room, my teeth drew a bit of blood out of his back when they rubbed against it and latched themselves into his shirt
i threw him across the room to receive a nice *thump* as he slammed into the ground
i expected him to run into the closet maybe, or try and run out the door so we could have a little game of cat and mouse around the open area of my domain?
instead he crawled under the bed, obviously injured by everything i had put him through
well it wouldn't be as fun but at least i would still catch my prey
i walked over, chuckling to myself at how easy this one was, he didn't even put up a fight, my grin showed my beautiful fangs, the fangs that would bleed every last drop of blood out of him, and i couldn't wait to feel that blood pour down my throat, before ending his miserable life at the pits of my belly just like so many before him
as i looked under the bed to see one last look at him before he became my meal
something came over me
his eyes, they were filled with sadness, not anger like so many others, but sadness, and with that sadness came fear, pure terror litterd his eyes
What have i done?
tears started to well up in my own eyes as i realized i had harmed and scared the one i cared so much about, just because of my stupid hormones sending me into a fit of rage
as i felt tears trickle down my cheeks and my body shake and grow weak
i realized
i just wanted him to love me..
