Chapter 4 A frightening beast

The building we entered was bigger than the ones in the surrounding, but it wasn't huge or anything it was just a little bit bigger. Once we entered the building a soft and delicious smell entered my nose followed by the voice of a woman, "Welcome back.". The three that bought me and the falcon Arko answered the greeting with a happy,"We are home.".

The next thing that happened surprised me. A big dog of some kind came over to the entrance of the building. It wasn't your average dog, this beast was as big as a fully grown horse, but that wasn't all it´s chest had some kind bone carapace, his front legs could used to bend inwards and it´s skull had an exoskeleton and two large strangely shaped horns. In short it had a terrifying appearance.

While I was frightened, the others seemed to not even be bothered by it, on the contrary Sophie was even happy at seeing it, she grabbed me of the floor and held me right under the snout of this beast.

Sophie said, "Look Balto, your new friend" to it, but it´s warm breath on my face and those big teeth right before me, where just to much for me so my body didn't listen to me anymore and my bladder just emptied itself right on that giant beasts face.

At this Sophie burst out laughing, but I was way to scared to realize even that. All I wanted right now was to escape so I struggled to escape and the little weak Sophie wasn't able to hold me, she dropped me on the floor. I used the chance to escape because the front-door was closed I choose the only open door that was on the opposite site of the beast to escape. Running like the devil himself was at me shoes I entered the room. Inside the room was a tall brown haired beauty with one knife in her hand that looked right at me.

Before that person could say something, I ran out through the next door in the corner of the room. Now I was in a storage room with a lot shelves, but only an exit and I thought I could ear the steps of the beast slowly approving so I did hide myself in the far of corner under one of the shelves.

There I was shivering in fear as the brown haired beauty from before came in and walked right at me.

She sat down a short distance away from me and held out one of her hand towards me.

As I was slowly calming down I realized that that must be the mother of Alicia and Sophie.

When I calmed down completely I started to sniff at her hand. Her hands smelled like onions, so I stopped sniffing them and looked her strait in her eyes. These eyes I will never forget, they were green like Alicias and Sophies, but they radiated a gentleness that I wold never had expected.

She slowly opened her mouth and a voice so soft and smooth came out that all my fears were just swept away, "you don´t need to be afraid, there is nothing in this house that will harm you.". I believed that every of her words was nothing else than the truth, but deep down within I felt that something was of. When I realized this the radiation of her eyes stopped.

Now she was just a woman, but I was scared of her or more of what she could do. That was when Sophie came into the room. "Pochi,why did you run away." with those words she came over and grabbed me without a care in the world. The beauty turned to Sophie and asked her,"Do you know why this little one was so scared and is that Alicia's Familiar?". "No this isn't Alicias it is mine, daddy bought it for me." Sophie answered honestly."Is that so?" said the beauty while petting Sophie and me. After I had calmed down completely, the beauty went out of the room and I could hear her voice from outside, "HANK, WE NEED TO TALK, NOW!!!".

Sophie turned toward me and petted me some more. "Pochi, we should stay here. Mommy is really angry, but don´t worry Mommy loves daddy really really much so she won´t kill him." after she told me that I looked at her and shifted my head a bit to the left. Sophie reacted to it and told me, "You know Mommy is one of the apprentice of the master magus of the king, she is really strong and can cast spells from 13 elements. She ev..." Sophie was interrupted by a loud explosion.

"

oh ooh, Mommy is really really angry at daddy. We should go and help daddy out." Sophie carried me back to where the beast was before, but it looked a bit different from before. There was a hole in one of the walls and the father of the two was covering under a table begging to his wife, "Please Monica, I know I was wrong so can you ..", but the wife didn't let him finish,"Every time, every god fu..ing time I send you with our daughter to do something, you go and do the most stupid thing you could do. The time you bought 500 kilo strawberries instead of 500 gram that was already pretty bad, but today you manage to go even further you bought a familiar for your eight year old daughter."

While saying this a fireball was appearing above her hand. When she finished saying the last word she throws the fireball at the table, but before it could hit the table it landed in an invisible wall and exploded with a loud, "KABOOM". The invisible wall shattered into hundreds of pieces. I looked around and saw how Alicia was trying to do something, she was fully concentrated.

Sophie looked at the scene shocked before she started to cry. While I was thinking of a way to escape this insane family another fireball formed above the mother's hand.

I hope you enjoyed the chapter. What you can decide this time is what can happen to make the mother calm down a bit.
