Chapter 26:A new friend
The echoing sound attracted Simon's eye to the speaker who stood at the base of the massive tree. Amy mirrored him as her ears also stood straight and pointed at the same direction.
But before he could get a good look the earth trembled and almost threw him off balance. From within the ground green vine-like tentacles came up and wiggled around catching shifting his attention immediately. Everyone else seemed to be fine with what was going on as if it was a normal occurrence but it left Simon's entrance.
The vines started wrapping into themselves making specific shapes and within a second he realized exactly what was going on. Chairs and tables were being made for everyone.
Simon was entranced by the magic being performed in front of his very eyes. The wonder made him realize that before coming to this school he had never seen real magic being performed, while all his family members supposedly could perform fantastical feats, he had never seen them in action.
Not knowing what else to do, he took the nearest seat and sat on the material and felt like he was sitting on a soft cushion and yet the table in front of him was hard and firm. Amy took the chance to hop onto his lap and make herself more comfortable on her favorite piece of furniture.
"You're new here?" a voice asked coming right next to him.
Simon turned to see a boy his age looking right at him sitting less than five feet away on another set of vine fixtures. He looked gaunt with his eyes and cheeks sunken in. There were dark circles beneath his eyes which combined with his piercing blue eyes gave him quite a severe look. He still carried the trend of every man outside his father looking unimpressive.
But the two voluptuous women on their knees rubbing themselves on his legs were anything but. Simon could not make out much other than that they were very curvy, had white rabbit legs and ears, had tan skin, and looked extremely fuck-able. Simon could somehow feel the horniness they gave off as if it was a physical presence.
"Cool, right?" The gaunt boy asked.
Simon's attention turned to the boy from the horny rabbit girls. He started talking unprompted.
"Road-born rabbits, a rare variant of rabbit girls. Unlike the normal ones that are only good for running away and fucking these little monsters also pack a punch."
There was pride in every word he spoke. This made Simon genuinely curious.
"Woah..." Simon had read up on rabbit girls, and as the boy had said they were only good as pets but often used as 'emotional-support' monster girls, whatever that meant. With nothing else to go on Simon believed it when he was told that the ones in front of him were something a step above.
A derisive snort came from Amy who was currently sitting on his lap as one of her eyes was open and staring at the bunnies.
"Wait... I completely forgot! My name is Daniel but my friends call me F.D." He said giving Simon a grin.
"Oh... My name is Simon," said Simon extending back the courtesy.
"Simon! Simon... Simon... Nope does not ring a bell, and I have practically memorized the roster for this class." answered Daniel as he swiped at one of the rabbits when her face got too close to his crotch.
"Oh! yeah... I joined yesterday..." Simon said unable to keep up with the boy whose demeanor was at odds with his look.
"Really!? Damn... That's rare. People usually join at the beginning of a semester. What caused it? Wait! Don't feel like you have to tell me. People who join in off times tend to have 'circumstances'... Sorry for prying!"
The roller coaster of emotions he saw on the cranky-looking gaunt boy did Simon in. He burst out laughing, unable to contain himself. The final bit of stress and worry that clung to him washed away with that hearty breath.
Daniel tilted his head, a confused smile on his face. Amy's tail wagged as she looked up and gave him a happy yip.
It took some doing for Simon to stop himself from laughing.
"Sorry...hah. hah... It's just... hah... No... never mind." Simon tried to make coherent words but found himself unable. After he calmed down he thought better of what he wanted to say and switched to something that was more immediately important.
"Hey, Daniel. Wanna be friends?" Simon asked.
Daniel gave him a wide smile that was rather off-putting giving his sharp looks but Simon did not care.
"Sure! Let's be friends!" He answered excitedly.
Unbeknownst to both of the boys a pair of green eyes were locked on to Simon, her plush full lips in a jaw-dropping pout as she felt his awe-inspiring presence, an inferno compared to the candles that made up her classroom.
A new hope? She could not be sure...
But he was a candidate. That was without question.
Despite her best efforts her inner monster girl salivated in hunger, it wanted... No, it needed to taste the boy. Even after decades of clamping it down, it could never be truly put to rest. And for the first time, in a long time, she lost to it. She would taste the boy, and that too before the class was over, her inner monster girl made her promise.
And she answered with a yes.
