CHAPTER 9: GONE WITH THE WIND

It was early in the morning when Heidi, heard a knock on her room’s door, followed by the voice of Erica the innkeeper

“Sweetie, wake up! Breakfast is ready!”.

A couple of minutes later a cute little chubby Lolita, with her eyeglasses and her pink frilly dress was seen walking down the stairs.

Upon seeing the dark circles and the blood shot eyes of the little girl, Erica exclaimed in surprise:

“Oh what happened sweetie! Were you crying? Did you see a nightmare?”

“What? Why does she think I was crying?.... but of course! I must look like shit! I didn’t get to sleep at all last night.” thought Heidi before answering in all “honesty” Erica’s question.

“No onee-chan, Heidi was not crying. Heidi just couldn’t sleep because there was so much noise!”

“What do you mean there was noise? I didn’t here anything at all last night!What happened? Tell Erica onee-chan all about it.”

“Well you see… first mommy Moira visited papa’s room, which as you know is right next to mine, so that they could practice wrestling for the battle against the Demon King. They were grunting, moaning, they must be practicing pretty seriously. But daddy must be pretty tired because after 15 minutes, they stopped and mama left his room.”

“Oh” said Erica, knowing exactly what type of wrestling they were doing. Yet, the next thing she heard coming from the little girl’s mouth literally blew her mind off.

“But mommy clearly was not done exercising so she went to that elf’s archer room to continue. I could hear her scream “Harder and harder” I think and they were also doing some difficult combat practice, because I could also hear them grunting and moaning. Helion onii-chan though clearly was not as tired as daddy Eric, because they kept wrestling for 3 hours non stop.”

“In fact after mommy left, Helion onii-chan was not tired at all. So, he went to onii-chan, Marion’s room to continue practicing and they just kept going at it till it was morning. So as you can see Erica nee-chan, Heidi couldn’t sleep at all!”

“What on god’s name went down last night in my inn? Those heroes…. They turned my inn into a brothel! I will have to charge them extra for new sheets. I’m going to burn the ones those guys were using! And Eric, the hero, could only last 15 minutes? No wonder his wife Moira had so much jewelry, he’s clearly trying to compensate for his inadequacy in bed with them. Yet who could have guessed that Moira was sleeping with the elf Helion, who clearly can last longer than the hero and that Helion is sleeping with the trap Marion? Oh wait till the girls in the village learn about this!” thought Erica, silently promising to herself to spread the news.

All those thoughts running through the innkeeper’s mind were clearly seen by Heidi, that’s the reason after all that she divulged those crucial piece of information to her. Erica onee-chan after all knew how to keep a secret…NOT!

“By the way little Heidi what about the priestess, lady Sachiko? What can you tell me about her? Did you hear any sounds from her room?” asked Erica hopefully, trying to dig up even more juicy gossips about the heroes.

“ No, no sounds of wrestling came from Sachiko’s onee-chan’s room. She was mostly quiet… though when I went to visit her room to tell her goodnight, just before I went in, I think I heard her speaking in a very scary voice some words in some foreign language. It sounded pretty demonic to me though.”

Erica knew all about Sachiko’s purchases in the village of Larnia and she had already heard rumors about her buying all the books on demonic language she could find, but everyone thought that she was just trying to gather them in order to destroy them as that was to be expected of a priest, not to read them! What was this priestess planning?

“Seriously what’s wrong with the heroes’ party? First we’ve got Eric who is secretly married to Moira and they even have twin offsprings. Futhermore, even he seems trustworthy and decent, in truth he’s an alcoholic, snobby, arrogant bastard and clearly incompetent in bed.

After that, we have the sorceress Moira, who although she has children and is a married woman, it is crystal clear that she married Eric only for his money and that she seeks sexual release in the arms of the handsome elf Helion.

And as if that wasn’t scandalous enough, we have the swordswoman Marion who is actually a man and a trap to boost it all! He is also fucking the handsome Helion. As if us women didn’t have enough competition we also have this damn trap to deal with, who lured that hunk Helion!

Helion, oh Helion! That elf must truly be a beast in bed! He can go all night! Oh I wish I could take him for a test drive!

Last, but not least, we have lady Sachiko the priestess who is also learning the demonic language as for what reason no one can tell. How the fuck were these guys chosen to lead us against the Demon King? They are all perverts!” thought Erica, before her attention was once again turned towards Heidi

“Oh sweetie, I am so sorry you couldn’t sleep last night. Let me make it up to you with breakfast, what would you like to eat? We have boiled eggs, omelettes, pancakes, muffins, cookies… tell me what would you like to eat?”

“Hmm, I would like the usual please!” said Heidi sweetly to the innkeeper

“The usual being?” asked Erica confused

“Silly onee-chan! But of course I mean what I ate last night. 3 steaks tartar and 3 steaks bleu. Oh and don’t forget not to put any garlic in any of my plates please, you know why.”

“This kid, Eric and Moira how long where they keeping it unfed? This sort of appetite is not healthy at all. Heidi’s stomach is like a bottomless pit! Well, at least here she can eat as much as she wants who knows when she will eat this well once she gets back home. Poor child…” thought Erica before nodding her head to Heidi and promising to prepare what she asked in a few minutes. After all preparing some raw steaks wouldn’t take long at all.

“By the way Erica nee-chan I would like for some things to be delivered in my room.” said Heidi.

“Oh you mean you need something other than the things you asked me to prepare on your list? Don’t worry about it, just tell me what it is and I will tend to it. Before, I forget, all the things you previously asked for will be delivered this afternoon in your room. It seems that it didn’t take as long as I thought” said Erica, avoiding to mention that of course it wouldn’t take long since she bought all the things without even bothering to barter the price.

In fact, she bought them overpriced after she mentioned some things about Eric to the shopkeepers aka that he thought of them as plebeians as well as the way he was treating his daughter.

“Thank you Erican nee-chan, You see, what I would like to do is paint something …I got inspired last night, so I thought that I should paint a picture of mommy. That’s why I need a blank canvas and some colors. Do you think you could get them for me Erica nee-chan?”

“But of course my love!” replied Erica and she rushed outside to go and get the things her cutie pie, Heidi, asked. She truly loved the chubby Lolita, she was so fun to talk and be with and she clearly trusted her so much!

Heidi was currently sitting on one of the dining tables at the inn, enjoying her hearty breakfast when the heroes’ party made its appearance.

“Oh, look what the cat brought in! If it isn’t’ mommy Moira and her “friends”!” thought Heidi and immediately stood up to greet her mommy, completely disregarding everyone else.

“Good morning nee-chan Moira! You look so beautiful today! A bit tired I guess, but still beautiful! I truly admire you a lot! You are the best! If my mommy was still around, she would surely like to meet you!” said Heidi excitedly.

Her black eyes behind her eyeglasses were shining with stars of admiration while looking at the seductive sorceress from head to toe. It seemed as if she was trying to burn the image of her in her head.

Moira looked at the chubby Lolita bewildered. She was being greeted so amicably, as though the little girl knew her inside and out! She was being bathed with compliments that would clearly make any woman happy, if not for the way the little girl was looking at her.

Those eyes were like the eyes of a stalker obsessed, of a predator. She was being checked out and looked at lecherously by the little girl. Shaking her head to clear those thoughts that she deemed were paranoid yet unknown to her at the time right on the spot, she nodded her head in acknowledgment and answered with a smile on her face.

“Well, thank you little one, you look really cute yourself today.”

“I know, but still thank you. Now you can go on and eat your breakfast, I know you must be pretty famished after last night.” said cryptically the chubby Lolita and giving Moira a wink at the end.

After that she sat back to her table and continued stuffing her face with the bloody meat.

Moira looked at the girl puzzled wondering what she meant, what that playful wink was for, before she decided that it was all the nonsense talk of a child and went on to sit with her teammates.

After finishing her breakfast little Heidi decided to take a little stroll around the village of Larnia. After all, a little bit of exercise after eating never hurt anyone and this would be the last time she would be here, as she soon had to leave.

All the villagers in Larnia already knew her name and were greeting her amicably, although if one looked carefully, he would also see pity in their eyes.

It was as if they were feeling sorry for some reason for the little girl. All of them were eager to stop her on her way and offer her free snacks, and various knick-knacks such as ribbons for her hair, lollipops, beef jerky, candies, flowers.

Even when passing in front of the mayor’s house he came out, just to greet her. He was an old, bald, chubby man, who even gave her a memento for her visit.

It was the village’s key, a small bronze key purely of decorative value that had engraved on it “DON’T GIVE UP HEIDI, WE SUPPORT YOU” .

Although perplexed as to the reason why she was given such an item, Heidi simply took it, thanking the man and thinking to herself

“If it’s free, it’s good”.

After finishing her small walk, she once again found her way back to the inn and to her room, where currently all the painting tools were ready to be used in the creation of a masterpiece.

Bracing herself, Heidi put herself to the task. She was painting all afternoon, only stopping when it was dinner time to eat her “usual”.

Morning came and Heidi was finished, she was awfully tired but very pleased with the outcome of her efforts. Her “masterpiece” was currently hanging on her room’s wall above the bed’s headboard.

Finishing up all the preparations for her departure, meaning, putting all her loot/purchases in her cute little white handbag and making sure to sign the masterpiece on the wall, she went out of her room looking one last time at the painting and took the stairs leading downstairs to the innkeeper’s reception desk.

“Nee-chan Erica, I am now leaving. Thank you for all the things you have done for me during my stay here. I will never forget you. You will always hold a special place in my heart, you really helped me a lot!” said Heidi faking tears due to the imminent separation.

Meanwhile, Erica was unable to hold her own tears as she gave a hug to Heidi. “I will not forget you either little Heidi. None of us here in Larnia will ever forget you. But won’t you say goodbye to your daddy and mommy before you go? Oh look! There they are. Let’s go together”

Grabbing her chubby little hand, not really giving her the time to react, Erica led Heidi to Moira and Eric who were just ready to go outside, probably to the market.

“Sir Eric, lady Moira! Little Heidi is leaving aren’t you going to say goodbye to her?”

Surprised, the couple turned their gazes to the chubby Lolita and awkwardly said “Ah yes, goodbye.”

Erica stood there dumbfounded. How could those guys call themselves parents! They were acting so cold towards their cute little daughter! She deserved love! She was only a child that came to see her parents who she missed so much and they were treating her like that? That was unacceptable!!! The innkeeper fuming with anger was unable to contain herself any more. She was going to give them a piece of her mind!

“You… you….aren’t you ashamed of yourselves? You are sending your only daughter away without anything as much as a kiss and a hug? How dare you call yourselves parents?”

Both Moira and Eric stood there surprised as hell. The crazy innkeeper was yelling at them saying this chubby girl, was their daughter? What on Fraya’s name was this chick thinking? They were too young to have a child. Hell they were not even married! Sure they were fucking, but no child was produced so far.

Meanwhile, little Heidi was starting to sweat like a pig.

“Fuck!!!!” she thought .“I was this close! Damn Erica, now my cover will be blown!”

“We don’t have a child! This chubby kid is no way in hell a child of mine! Look!!! (pointing to her voluptuous body). Does this body look like it gave birth?” yelled Moira, unable to control her temper.

“Yes! She is your daughter! Don’t try to deny it. She even has her father’s hair! After all the things this child did for you during her stay here, how dare you renounce your daughter, you whoring bitch? And you sir Eric, the so called hero! Aren’t you ashamed to make your cute little daughter buy booze for you and your perverted friends? You drink so much, it’s no wonder your “mighty sword” lacks in endurance!”

Eric was red from embarrassment and he stared angrily at Moira, whose face screamed that all of Erica’s words were right on the mark, she meekly said to him:

“ I didn’t say anything….you’ ve got to trust me!”

“Ha, trust you, you say!” Erica continued her assault on the young pair.

“You even went to that hunk’s, Helion’s room after you left your husband’s bed and you were at it for more than 3 hours. Don’t think that I am not going to charge you for new sheets!!! Expect that to be as well in the bill, as well with all the things your cute little daughter bought for you. You freaks!”

Once again Eric turned his angry gaze towards Moira:

“You bitch! You are also fucking Helion? Why? Wasn’t I enough for you, that you had to go to his room as well? What, the orgasm that I gave you wasn’t enough? You whore!!!”

Moira’s face went pale she couldn’t deny his accusations, but if he thought that he could get away for calling her a whore, well he had another thing coming!

“Who are you calling a whore you asshole! Oh please, you didn’t think I actually came from your toothpick of a dick, did you? I FAKED IT!!!!! Your “mighty sword”? Ha, don’t make me laugh! 15 minutes of “fighting” and it was already broken! Now Helion’s “sword” that’s what I would call mighty and he’s an archer!”

Things were getting heated, the trio’s quarrel and yelling had managed to get the attention of the rest of the heroes party. Soon, Sachiko, Helion and Marion also appeared in the reception hall curious to see what was happening.

“What’s going on? Why are you guys arguing?” asked Helion.

“Pftt, as if you don’t know already! You slept with Moira.” Eric declared angrily.

Helion was surprised that his nocturnal meeting with Moira was found out by Eric and he vehemently tried to deny it.

“No, no my friend. I didn’t. Who is telling you these lies?”

Being called a liar when all her information were coming from a reliable source, aka Heidi, made Erica’s blood boiling with anger.

“Don’t you try to deny it. You, you handsome punk! The little miss told me everything. She even told me about you and that trap over there!” she said pointing to Marion.

Now it was Moira’s turn to be surprised.

“ What? Helion tell me it’s not true! You and Marion? I don’t believe this! You slept with that imitation of a woman when you just had a true woman like me in your bed a couple of minutes ago?”

“Don’t you dare speak that way about Marion! I love him! I was only with you for your money!”

The heroes’ party members were in an uproar cursing and yelling at each other. Only one of them was calmly assessing the situation and that was the priestess Sachiko. Her blue eyes were currently watching the chubby Lolita who was looking like she was having the time of her life.

Well, she couldn’t let things continue as they were. Soon, her teammates were going to tear each other’s throats off! Coughing loudly to get everyone’s attention in a loud clear voice she declared:

“Hey guys, don’t you think you are all forgetting about the important thing here? That little girl, she’s not Eric and Moira’s daughter. She’s clearly lying about that, so who’s to say if the rest of the things she said are true. Although… it appears all the things she said so far are true judging by your reactions… Anyway, the main point here is that she is intentionally trying to make us argue. I say let’s get her and interrogate her!”

“Fuck, the bitch priestess is too dangerous! I better scrum! Good thing I have my last trump card!” thought Heidi

“Erica onee-chan the demonic priestess is going to harm me, don’t let her!” Heidi said faking fear to Erica, while making a run for it up the stairs and back to her room.

Upon hearing Sachiko’s voice of reason, everyone’s attention was back to the perpetrator, Heidi. They started running after her, only to be stopped momentarily by the red head innkeeper who put her body forward to intercept them.

“I will not let you harm little Heidi, freaks!” she exclaimed only to be pushed aside by the 5 members who were running after Heidi up the stairs, after all, a simple innkeeper’s strength was nothing compared to the heroes’.

Once they got to Heidi’s room though and opened the door they were surprised to find ….no one. The window was open. They looked down at the street but couldn’t see her. There was nowhere in the room for her to hide. She had simple vanished!

A sole little black bat was the only thing they could see on the sky, flying away and gone with the wind!

What caught their attention as they turned their gaze back to the room, was a painting hanging on the wall above the bed’s headboard.

Moira gasped “Is that…is this me?”

True enough, the painting before them was a picture of Moira. She was wearing a black nightgown, loosely tied by a red belt, which was unable to maintain her glorious 36DD breasts from showing.

Her pink nipples were clearly visible and were standing erected beckoning the viewers to them. Her rich red mane was blown by an invisible force and her beautiful purple eyes were looking down to the 2 figures in front of her.

She was standing on top of a hill in all her glory gazing down to the two naked men at her feet. Behind her a city could be seen in flames and the sky was painted grey by the fumes.

The men in front of her, were on all fours and they were wearing collars while their leash was at the hands of the seductive sorceress.

Who were those men you ask? But of course by their faces it was clear it was Eric and Helion.

At the right corner of the painting a small signature could be seen if one paid close attention. It read “Vlad 3rd the Impaler”

Everyone was silent with awe till a loud almost hysterical laugh could be heard.

“Ha, ha, ha I don’t know who painted this, but I love it!” said Moira to the surprise of all her teammates.

The lone bat in the sky heard her laugh and with a satisfied smile on its face making his fangs visible, said proudly:

“I knew you would! Wait till we meet again, then I will show you why they called me Vlad 3rd the Impaler!”
