How’s it going everyone? Our MC is getting into trouble back to back huh? Well it’s fine, he’ll get a break soon enough, but for now, let’s tough it out with him. Also this is a rather slow chapter. Nothing crazy happens so read it when you have the time. I’ll try to add in some humor so it won’t be so bland.

Chapter 7

-Me(help…please…)-

What I saw, in front of me, was a mess. There were people messing with the cups and plates, as well as the furniture. One was turning on and off the TV and another was… moon walking on The CEILING?!?!?! WHAT?! THAT’S

A THING?!!?! No that shouldn’t be the question here. The question is WHY THE HELL ARE YOU STILL MOON WALKING!!!!! Oh. I’m starting to get a headache. Just ignore. Just ignore them. They don’t exist if you just… oh come on!!! Stop moving already!!!! I sighed so heavily I felt my soul leave my body for a bit.

I think they felt my unease as all twelve of them turned and faced me. Twelve? Where’s the queen? Well as much as I want her to be here, she already knows everything I want to say to these guys so I guess it’s not too important to have her here. I sighed a bit. “Alright, so a few rules for being in my house. First, don’t touch anything. That means, unless I give permission, don’t touch it. Simple right? Second, if you want something to eat let me know. Apparently you guys don’t know too much about house hold appliances. Did you guys all take over someone who lives alone or something? While you’re on a planet don’t you think you should learn how to use these things when living on said planet? Whatever.

Third and final rule, don’t you just love things in threes? It’s great right? Not, I just don’t have that many. Anyway, do not, and I cannot stress this enough, do not go into the city. You guys do not know much about our race and society. If you go out, even with the people’s memories, you cannot replicate in perfection their roles. You will be found out quickly upon entering. If you have a means of relaying this to everyone else, please do so. If even one of you is found, you will be hunted and used as test subjects. A far worse fate than death. The third rule is of the utmost importance. So please obey it at all costs. For right now that is.”

As I had entered the third rule my expression turned dreadful, well for them that is. I had to stress that rule. The city is not a good place. Wicked people live there and even more so the people that run it. Right now, it’s too large a hurdle for them to leap over. Until I have more information I can do nothing for them. Well, all in due time.

They all nodded. Well Ass didn’t really do much of anything. He kinda just glared at me. As usual. Wait… could it possibly be that that is his normal face? If it’s his normal face, then sorry I named you Ass. Well even if it is normal I’m still going to call you Ass. Moving on. The others just stared at me kinda blankly as if they don’t know what to do next. Even moon walker stopped. Sigh, I guess I need to direct them for everything huh. Well they’re surprisingly obedient. “You can have a seat. Though I said don’t touch anything I meant anything other than the furniture. Yall can sit anywhere, just please try not to move things too much. I’ll go set up everyone’s bedroom or beds.” I said and left the room.

-Them-

“A haughty brat isn’t he?” man said amongst the twelve.

“Though his honesty is palpable.” A woman spoke this time.

“I sense no ill will from him.” Another said.

“I can see why the queen chose to trust him.” Said an elder. This one had taken the body of a professor in his late forty’s.

“I refuse to accept him.” Ass rejected everyone saying thus.

“Is it because of the name he has given you? It’s not the most respectable but it’s definitely interesting.” Moon walker jested.

“Shut up moron. Someone like you only made it here because everyone else was killed off. You shouldn’t even be here”

“Aw don’t say that, Ass” he stretched the word ass in a taunting manner. “You know as well as everyone else here why I was put in this position. You’re just jealous that I got here faster than you. It’s fine. I’ll admit I’m not smart, but I’ll definitely make up with other means.” Moon walker jeered.

“Cocky bastard.” Ass growled.

“Enough you two!!” another woman sternly reprimanded the two.

Moon walker laughed it off while Ass grumbled, but they both conceded. “Yes ma’am” two voices, but two completely different tones.

“Though we can read his thoughts we cannot rely on just that. These humans are masters of deception compared to any other race we’ve ran into. We must be cautious. Though he may send off good intentions his future plans could entail our downfall.” A middle aged woman said.

“I don’t believe he’s like that.” a calm voice came from the front door.

“Ah queen, welcome back. Did you discover anything?” the elderly man asked.

“Yes. The forest exceeds this continents civilization by 5 fold. I could not see inside. There’s something odd about the forest. The city stinks. It feels worse than the forest.” She told them about her discoveries with a dark look on her face.

“So the boy was looking after us after all huh?”

“What do you mean?” the queen asked.

“The boy gave us some rules while we were exploring his house.” The first man said.

“The last one and one he stressed quite heavily,” another continued.

“Which was to not enter the city as we are now.” The woman finished.

The queen nodded with a smile almost impossible to notice. “He really is trying to save us.”

“Huh? Save us you said?” the elderly man asked.

“Yes.” She nodded to him. She then proceeded to tell them of the conversation they had while they were in the room. From the first talk of the weapons all the way down to the kiss. No one made a remark nor sound during the entire time she talked. They silently and aptly listened to everything she said.

“Still too little of events to actually trust him. No matter how good it may seem we must stay vigilant.” Ass retorted.

“Your name suits you.” The queen remarked with a slight sneer.

“Excuse me for my rudeness however I believe that if you accept him with just that, you are a fool. Our ENTIRE race hangs on the balance here. We cannot trust some human just because he has shown us a few deeds that anyone could do. Until I see something actually worth giving my trust for, he is an outsider and I will treat him as such.” Ass announced with a steeled voice.

The queen let out a small sigh. “I understand. Everyone can choose whether or not to trust him. I will not force anyone. I trust him though.” She called to everyone.

“I will respect him for his actions so far, however I shall wait before I say I trust him.” The elder said.

“I shall wait as well.” The middle aged woman said.

“Hmm I’ll try trusting him. After all he seems rather interesting and fun.” Moon walker spoke aloofly.

“I approve of him, but I can’t entirely trust him yet.” The other said and a few others agreed.

“We’ll wait to decide for now.” Both the man and woman said.

“I’m glad he’s accepted.” The queen said with a small smile.

“Incidentally the human is quite odd. Instead of being turned away from seeing the queens true form I feel as though he is rather attracted to her instead.” The elderly bought up.

“Indeed he is” moon walker agreed with a taunting smile.

-Me-

Phew, that should do it. Thirteen beds for all of them. As much as I’d like to, I don’t give preferential treatment in times like these. So sorry ma lady but you’ll be sleeping here tonight. After tidying up the place I headed back to the living room where everyone was sitting. Why was everyone silent. Right, telepathy. I keep forgetting that. Oh well. While ignoring the silence I went to the kitchen and made me a sandwich. Aaah, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are the best.

When I entered the room again I get some stares. Nothing’s changed I see. Ah. I haven’t offered them something to eat nor drink. How rude.

“Yall hungry or somethin? I don’t have much in terms for a large dinner but I do have enough for sandwiches and some small rice and meat dishes. I haven’t gone into town for a few weeks so I don’t have anythin really other than that. Sorry.” I explained to them.

“It’s fiiiine. We’ll graciously accept whatever you can give us.” I’m just going to call this guy Lower G. I think it sounds pretty cool. How about you?

“I can dig it.” Lower G agreed. Noice.

“Rightio then, I’ll just make some rice dishes and sandwiches and yall can eat whatever looks tastiest.” I said that and went back to the kitchen and started to prepare some food for the guests.

“Surprisingly docile. Wouldn’t you agree?” the elderly man asked the queen. Hmm should I call him Gramps? Pops? Mr.Wiz? It feels as though the parasites inhabited the bodies that represent their age group. Convenient if you ask me. Yeah, I’ll just call him Gramps. A few nodded to his statement and the queen just stared at me silently. Dooooon’t it feels odd.

Apparently I’m docile. Well I do know how to cook, and, despite my lazy attitude, I do like to cook. It’s fun. Experimenting new flavors, even the bad ones, is so much fun! You should try it! I once made a dish with a contradictive nature. It looked like a vat of radioactive material but it tasted rather delicious, AND it cleared my intestines, improved my heart rate, aaand left a cool feeling in my mouth. Ah who the hell am I kidding, I fucked up hardcore and had the shits all day long along with a freakin over charged heart while constantly sucking in air because it felt like I was suffocating. Never again shall I mix spinach, chicken, mustard, mayo, ketchup, energy drink, banana’s and rotel. It did taste good though. That wasn’t a lie.

I heard laughing. Dammit! Did they read my thoughts again!! Ugh. Well at least someone got a good kick out of my suffering. Enjoy it while you can dirt bags!!! Tick me off enough and you might get something similar, or worse! Especially you Ass!

“I literally have said nothing.” He retorted.

“You may not have said something but you were definitely thinking it!!” I countered.

“You don’t know that.” he rejected.

I could do nothing at this point. He’s right, but that doesn’t mean I can’t put the blame on you uselessly!! I will do it dammit! It’s your fault! You weren’t even there but I’m still going to blame you dammit!! Ah remembering that moment made me clench my booty cheeks. Heh, booty… Ah it’s times like these I regret having HIM as a friend.

“Who?” someone chimed in.

I sighed “No one in particular. HEY! Stop reading my mind already dammit!”

“We would but you’re quite interesting. Your thoughts are on a completely different process than any other we’ve met so far. It’s rather spastic and quite enjoyable to listen in to.” Gramps chuckled when he told me thus. Aaaah I give up. Whatever, read it to your fill. Or listen. Whichever it is.

After a while the food was finished and I brought it all to the dining room. Though it was rough I was able to set the place up for thirteen people. “Alright guys, foods ready. Help yourself.” I gestured for them to eat.
