Chapter 24: A New Version Of An Old Pain
I woke up practically drenched in sweat and hotter than I could ever remember experiencing. Moaning uncomfortably, I tried to roll over, only to be stopped by an arm around my waist.
Needing to know what was going on and terrified that the Shit Stains had found me, I tried to use the touch to figure out what was going on around me.
Unfortunately for me, the person touching me was fast asleep with their eyes closed, and all I could see was darkness.
Trying to shift into a more comfortable position, I jerked a bit when I heard Pride whispering in my ear. "I want to rip off the arms of those meat sacks who think it's okay to touch you and beat them with their own appendages," he hissed, and I could feel his fury licking my spine.
Smiling, I moaned as if I was enjoying the touch and not being cooked instead. This new, jealous side of Pride was completely unexpected, and it was loving every minute of it.
"But you need to get your sweet ass out of bed and away from the others before they become food," continued Pride, sounding more like himself. Having voices in your head was all well and good until they read your mind.
Pride, the fucker, was now smirking at me, no longer jealous.
"The dumb ones can't get upstairs," I reminded Pride out loud, and I felt a body on either side of me tensing for a moment. Huh, I guess I had two someones wrapped around me. Look at me go.
"But the smart ones are hunting and fuck stairs; even climbing up walls isn't outside of the realm of possibilities. They won't touch you; you smell like one of us now, and the smart ones are smart enough to keep away. But the rest won't be so lucky. They are hungry, and you are easy prey."
