The sound of knocking ca from the door at the far end of my room. mories of the conversation I had with Victoria ca back to , but I pushed them aside and called out to whoever knocked. I still had my eyes closed, and I tried to sit up, but there was sothing warm pushed into .
I opened my eyes to Victoria's beautiful face only centiters from mine. Her eyes slowly open and connected with mine as I could feel her warm breath near my neck. She smiled, then her eyes went wide, and Victoria tried to back away but only succeed in putting her and the under-sized nighty in a compromising position.
"DAVE!" Lavender roared as she stord into the room with Tilly following.
"It's not what it looks like!" Our voice cried out in unison.
This twin omission of denial only infuriated Lavender more, but then she got tears in her eyes. Lavender ran from the room, tears pouring down her face. Tilly tried to stop her, but Lavender just pushed by her.
I jumped out of bed and ran out of the room after her, telling the girls to wait. I got outside of the room, but Lavender hadn't got far. I ran to catch up to her and finally was able to get my hands on her.
I pulled Lavender close while she struggled weakly against , and I just stood there. I waited for her to stop struggling and then for the tears to stop. I pulled her close to door three, and we slid down it. We just sat there against the door quietly until Lavender spoke.
"I'm sorry for getting so mad at you, but when I saw Victoria lying on you. I don't know. I just got jealous," Lavender's small voice was hard to hear.
I didn't say anything and just let her rest in my arms. I wasn't sure if I should try to explain that we were talking and had fallen asleep or left it. Then, I heard the click.
Suddenly the door behind opened, and both of us tumbled backward down a smooth slide. Soon the fall ended, but I held Lavender close, so she didn't get hurt. When we reached the bottom, both of us stood up in a cave with light pouring in from the far end.
"Where is this?" I ask while giving Lavender a hand up.
She had, at least, changed into black tights and I purple top, but I had protected her from gri and harm. Dirt and scratches covered from the tumble, but Lavender seed alright. She wore a purple frilly top true to her na, and she looked beautiful in it. The cleavage spilling up was just icing on her cakes!
Last night I checked my updates and went to level eleven, so my brain was starting to loosen up. I was finally able to contain my emotions, and I felt less reserved about won now. Particularly after my bathroom encounter with Tilly.
"I'm not sure. I don't know what half the doors in this house does or what places they lead to," Lavender dusted herself off as she spoke.
"Well, look at it this way, now we get to go for our one on one ti!" I grab Lavender's waist.
I dung my fingers into her sides playfully, and gave her a playful tickle as we move towards the light. We were both laughing as we get to the mouth of the cave, but our eyes lit up when we seen outside.
Out of the cave was a beach that stretched on down an unending coastline. The light from the sun cast down on us as we walked out. As we ca closer to the edge of the water, I noticed a glass bottle.
I grabbed Lavender's hand and pulled her towards the bottle. She didn't resist, and soon we were at the bottle. I bent down to pick it up and noticed there was a paper inside.
"What's that?" Lavender questioned , and she examined the bottle.
"A bottle."
"Don't be stupid!" She said while slapping my shoulder.
I tried not to laugh as I wrestled the cork from the bottle. The green glass of the bottle made it nearly impossible to see the paper inside. The cork finally cos loose, but a weird sll was coming from the bottle.
Both Lavender and I sniff the sll. It's a sickly sweet and overripe sll, but not horrible. The contents of the bottle pre-paper must have been pretty good. I shook the paper out of the bottle into my hand, but I started feeling light-headed as I did.
"Maybe we should sit down to read this. I'm feeling a bit light-headed."
I said this while turning to look at Lavender, and she looked no better with one hand out and the other to her temple. I took her by the hand and led her back a bit from the water, and we sat down. I was starting to feel weird as I opened the letter. Lavender was cuddling in close, her body pressing into mine, but I couldn't focus on her.
My eyes, mind, soul, and every fiber of my body was glued to the paper, and I knew that was the sa for Lavender. The paper was a map of a place, I thought, with water at one end of the page, then a beach the rged into a forest. There was just one problem with this map, albeit a minor one now that I think about it.
"Do you see the map moving?" I turned while asking Lavender to see her transfixed gaze.
Lavender turns her head slowly away from the map, and our eyes et. Pupils wholly blown out, I couldn't even tell what color her eyes were anymore. Before I got lost in the thought, I rembered the paper like a light coming above my head. The idea made laugh out loud as I turned back to the map.
As I looked over the map, two stick figures appeared on the beach. Their positions were inline with us, but then they started moving. Suddenly, My perspective changed, and I was in a third-person three-dinsional view.
I felt weird, but the stick figures began to walk towards the cave we ca out of, except there was no cave. I watched as the stick figures trekked through the jungle, avoiding wild monsters and various types of traps. Finally, they reached a mountain or volcano that wasn't there when I looked for the large cave, the damn thing just appeared, and we were there.
They started up a path, and in an unknown amount of ti, they reached a cave. Once inside, it was clear to see it was a volcano. I could almost feel the heat coming from the flowing lava as I watched them approach a bridge. It led up to a more massive ledge above the magma, but I couldn't see what was up there until we reached the top of the bridge.
Up atop the ledge, a chest sat in the middle. It had chains covering it that stretched out in multiple directions, secured to cavern walls. Covering each chain were hundreds of white slips of paper with strange writing.
The stick figures walk up to the chest and put a hand on it to open it. Suddenly all the papers strange black writing started to glow purple and began to fall off. As the last one fell, the chains instantly sucked into the chest, and it burst with light.
I tried to cover my eyes, but I had no body, nor hand to block it. The brilliant purple light burned into my eyes, but then it all drew in, and a demonic figure stood in its place. Long curling horns crested the things head, and its eyes burned an unnatural blue. The chains that had sealed it in the chest now wrapped the demon's body and hung down from its arms.
The stickn stood no chance, instantly torn to shreds. I watch this in horror, but the demon looked in the eyes after it finished. Those burning blue eyes penetrated , even though I had no body or form, then it spoke.
"Co find , boy, and bring that tasty female. It's been ages since I've had so real fun with a girl. Not like you have a choice now that you've opened the bottle. You're locked into this dinsion until you die or defeat . The door stays locked until one of those conditions is t, no in or out."
The demon began to laugh, and I could feel it rip at my consciousness. Soon the laughter burned through like a fire. Sohow, even without a body, the pain was every and yet nowhere, and just as I could take no more, I opened my eyes.
Lavender was in my arms, shaking and sweating, and I could feel the beads on my own body that had ford. I looked at Lavender, and her eyes shot open, filled with fear. Those fear-filled eyes began to cascade with tears as she buried her face into my chest, sobbing.
I didn't want to imagine what tornt that son of a bitch had put Lavender, though, but I held her close until she stopped crying. Soon, she pulled back with puffy red eyes that were still scared.
"W-what are w-we gonna do?" Lavender asked as she tried to get herself under control.
"Don't worry, Lavender. I'll never let him get you, I promise," I kissed her forehead as I went one. "I know he looks scary, but according to the drug-induced map adventure, we have a good bit of dangerous distance to travel and get stronger before we see him."
"What adventure? I didn't see that, I just saw..." But tears filled her eyes, and she began to sob into my chest again.
"That son of a bitch!" I said quietly under my breath as I stroked her hair and let her cry.
So that's his ga, harassing Lavender while he gave a tour. Harassing was probably the nicest thing he did if she was in this state. I will fix him when I reached that chained chest, but I just needed to be here for her for now.
As I continued stroking Lavender's hair, I noticed an alert in the top corner of my HUD. Lavender had quieted down, but now she seed to have fallen asleep. I opened the alert to see what it was.

"I wonder what that ans?" I said this mostly to myself, but a small voice beside my ear scared the bejeezus out of .
"That ans all experience you gain, or she earns, is evenly divided now," Trina whispered to .
"Don't scare like that!" I scolded in a whisper, and Lavender stirred against as I did but stayed asleep.
"Sorry, I didn't want to wake her up."
"I know. So, was the demon telling the truth? are we stuck here until we kill him?"
"Yup and no one can co and help you!"
"Don't sound so cheery! That thing looked a lot stronger than ! What am I supposed to do?" I tried to be quiet, but panic was creeping into my voice.
"Dave, get ahold of yourself!" Trina squeaked at as she tried to slap , but her hand just passed through my face. "Destiny is on your side! So once Lavender wakes up, you guys will have to get stronger and give that demon a swift kick between his legs! AND GET THE TREASURE!" The last part ca out as a demons growl, and Lavender stirred in my arms.
I waved away Trina before she woke Lavender up in her excitent for treasure, and I rested my head on hers. I looked out at the water rolling into the beach and then back out again. The sight llowed , but my anger was still fresh, boiling below the surface as I closed my eyes.
