Should Have Let Me Die

Chapter 124: Raver Zombies

I turned around to find a beautiful bush monkey walking from the swamp in tall leather boots and some kind of leaf bikini. She had a defiant look in her green eyes, and her brown hair was blown into her face by a light breeze that had just kicked up. The sun setting behind her gave her a radiant and natural beauty that needed no make-up!

So, this was the next one, alright, no complaints from this side? She was a smoke show, twelve out of ten for sure! Eliza? Maybe I would let her introduce herself, yeah, we will go with that.

"Hey"

Uh-oh, that look was thirteen shades of bad. The girl's face was beat

"STOP MONOLOGUING ME!"

....Fuck.

*Deep sigh*

"Let me guess, you can read my mind?"

"Not all of it you presumptuous perverted lecher! And, my name is Elise!"

"Wow, that was a lot of name-calling missy, do you think we could tone it down with that? My thoughts are my own and I have my mind invaded a lot more than you would think, so if you can read my mind you will have to get used to it! Because I think you're sexy as fuck and I am going to make you my damn wife!"

I was out of breath after that tirade, but Elise still looked pissed, but

"I will figure something out to make you dislike me less. but now that you are here, we have some things to talk about."

"Why would I want to talk with you? You just think I'm someone for you to take at your will!"

"Elise, Hyde isn't like that!" Mishka stepped forward, walking past me as she spoke. "Just come and sit down and listen. Hyde is a good man, but he is still a man, so have a bit of patience with him and you will get used to it. If you are a princess, and a human, then you don't belong out here."

"I can't leave, Taria, knows that!"

"Child, come and sit down, let's go inside, it is starting to get dark."

Taria led us inside the dome hunt where there was something that resembled a picnic table and a bed was off to the side. The floors were mud and the place smelled musty, so I turned to look at Taria.

"Do you mind if we skip over to my place? You guys can sleepover, I'm sure I have extra guest rooms. It smells funky in here and you both look like you could use a hot bath."

The hot bath part made them both perk up, so I signaled for everyone to get back outside. Once out there, the swamp had changed completely, but not in a bad way. Instead, it was like walking into a wonderland of luminescence, everything glowed in trippy color patterns. 

I had to look back at the girls to get confirmation that I hadn't just stepped into the twilight zone or someone had slipped me some acid. The group still looked normal, but I noticed luminescent creatures that were slowly creeping towards us. Oh, the was the coolest fucking shit ever, fucking raver zombies, but it was time to go.

"Close your eyes, and count to three."

I made sure Tarai and Elise had their eyes closed, and took Mishka's hand as she smiled with an excited look in her eyes. Instantly we were into the air and moving home at impossible speeds, like watching a movie in fast forward. We sat down in front of the mansion just as the girls opened their eyes. 

Instantly both were filled with panic, but a quick look around at the people walking made them relax. They must have assumed I took them back to Acosta, something big must have happened there. 

"Babe, Go up and get the girls okay? I will walk them in."

I kissed Mishka and she nodded with a determined look and ran off. I then turned back to the ladies, who were both still in a bit of shock. I was really bad for the order of operations, but when running from luminescent zombies you have to think on the fly. 

"Welcome to the City of Dreams! Well, the city is a loose term, but it will get there, but for now, it's just a village. This is my home, I know, it is huge, I didn't do the damn thing, it was more of my wives' idea, but I am rambling. I want to get you two inside, but I would like to offer my magic to you again, Taria, and you as well, Elise, but you can wait if you want."

"Thank you, Hyde, I don't know what it will do for an old crow like me."

"Oh, woman, you have no idea!"

I dropped my shade and grabbed her hand with my right and she exploded with light. In my haste, I forgot to tell Elise about the flash and she tripped while backing up, but I was easily there to catch her. As the light faded, a beautiful woman with long black hair, but the same conservative black robe.

"What did you do to me? How? What? Wait, how did Elise end up in your arms...oh, I see, that makes sense."

Woah, I hadn't even fully formed the thought and she was able to see it. On the other hand, we could never put her face on display at the local leather hand...OW!

"I can see your thoughts, young man!" Taria said after hitting me. 

"It was still pretty funny though, right?"

"Hilarious, can we go in now, I want that bath you promised."

"You're not dirty any more!"

"That's not why women take baths!"

"Just how long do you plan on holding onto me for?" Elise asked from my arms.

I looked down at her and she had pretty cute little burning cheeks, and I was getting a nice view of her...oof! Elbow to the solar plexus! My only weakness, along with sassy women!
