“Kitten,” Specca breathed out as the demon turned to them with a hand held at her hip.
“Aw, you look so scared. Haha, it’s kinda cute.”
Specca and Luna took another step back before tripping and falling to the floor. Kitten laughed as she saw the two cowering before her while holding onto each other tightly, her eyes seeing the faint orange glow of their bodies clearly while everything else in the darkened cabin was illuminated in a sapphire hue. The demon then flinched before rubbing her ear with an annoyed growl.
“I got it, I got it,” she muttered before looking out at the rainstorm. Taking a few steps towards the entryway she then stopped and glanced back to the two girls with a smirk. “Don’t be so scared. I’m a good girl now.”
With that she took off into the rain, flying high up into the storm and away from the caravan with heavy flaps of her wings. She looked around quickly to seeing nobody else approaching the caravan in the storm before halting and hovering in place with the rain hitting against her.
“Master, where are you?”
“Daniel will be fine,” Triska assured from in her mind. “He’s not the one who could be dying right now. Focus, can you find Pip and Cilia?”
“How can you be so sure of that? He might need help too you know. Perhaps he’s soaking wet and needs me to use my body to warm him up.”
“Find Pip and Cilia! We don’t have time to lose here!”
“Fine,” Kitten snapped while rubbing her ear. “Anyway, you were the one that didn’t want to go looking for them earlier, weren’t you?”
“I wasn’t expecting a rainstorm to just drop on us like this! And besides Pip would be the first of us to get inside before it rains, if she hasn’t come back yet something’s wrong.”
“Well, can’t have my master’s property being killed I suppose. That simply won’t do,” Kitten mused before taking off through the storm, her wings flapping steadily while she paid the water hitting against her face no mind as she kept a sharp eye out for any sign of the fairies below.
“She’s not Daniel’s property! She’s his mate! Whatever, just find them, hurry!”
“I’m looking, I’m looking,” Kitten dryly retorted. “Just remember to speak highly of me to Daniel about this. This is not how I want to spend the time I’m given with our body.”
The demon soared over The Outerlands while searching for any trace of the missing fairies, her wings gliding through the air while the wind and rain blowing against her did nothing to slow her down. As she searched the land below her Triska watched from inside her head, seeing everything the demon was while also feeling her anxieties building with each passing moment.
‘Pip, Cilia, please be safe.’
*****
Thunder rumbled in the distance while a cool breeze came through and rustled the leaves of trees nearby. A field of tall grass next to a few fallen timbers swayed in the wind with a small whistling sound while sitting on a flower in the sea of the grass Pip was being consoled by Cilia who was fluttering in place next to her. Pip had her legs held up to her chest with her arms wrapped around them, her face buried in her knees while her wings were drooping low. Cilia gently patted her on the head with a remorseful frown, watching her new friend weeping and feeling her heart aching at the sight.
“Pip, it’ll be okay,” Cilia promised.
“She really doesn’t like me,” Pip whined. “I thought she wanted to be my friend. But I guess I was wrong. She must still be angry with me.”
“Angry with you? What did you do to her?”
“Nothing,” Pip insisted with a teary eye at her. “She lost her home and friend when another fairy blew them all up.”
“A fairy did that?” Cilia worriedly asked.
“That’s what Clover said. She said a fairy came to her home and then boom! She doesn’t like me because I’m a fairy too.”
“But that’s not fair, you never went boom!” Cilia exclaimed while waving her hands around.
“I know, but she’s mad at all fairies now because that happened. I don’t know if she’ll ever want to be my friend.”
Cilia watched her friend cry into her knees again with sympathetic eyes then leaned closer and lowered down to look up at Pip with puzzlement.
“Pip, how come you want to be her friend?” she asked. Pip wiped her tears away then just watched Cilia with a frown while remaining silent. “She’s really mean. I don’t think she likes anyone. And her boobies are really small.”
“She’s alone,” Pip explained, with Cilia tilting her head in confusion. “I feel so bad for her. She doesn’t have anyone. Nobody should be alone. I was alone for a long time, I didn’t like it. I don’t want her to be alone, I don’t want anyone to feel so bad.”
Cilia lowered her head and thought about that while Pip hid her face in her knees again. Thunder echoed above and broke the long silence between them, with both fairies looking up to seeing dark clouds gathering overhead.
“It’s going to rain soon,” Cilia said nervously. “We should go back now.”
“I know,” Pip softly said as she fluttered her wings and stood up. “I just hope Clover won’t be so mad with me when we get back. I want us all to be happy together.”
Cilia took her hand and the two girls flew up into the air, quickly zipping over the field of tall grass in a blue blur, and then spiraled down and crashed into the dirt with blue sparks bouncing around them. Cilia tumbled about then collapsed face first in the dirt with her butt lifted into the air while behind her Pip rolled to a stop with a weak groan.
“Pip?” Cilia wearily asked before spitting a few times. She looked back then screamed as she saw Pip’s wings flinching as they tried to move while the fairy was holding her arms over her stomach. “Pip? What’s wrong?”
“I feel… so weak. I’m so hungry, it hurts.”
“You’re hungry?” Pip asked as she quickly raced over to her.
“I don’t understand,” Pip said as she looked down to her belly. “I ate with Specca and Luna a little while ago, why am I so hungry now?”
“You had both of their yummy juices?” Cilia asked with a curious smile. “Wow, you’re so lucky.”
“What? No, they gave me some of their food. I don’t remember what it was or what it tasted like, but I liked sharing their food with them.”
“Their food?” Cilia questioned. “But, you can’t-”
Thunder boomed overhead with lightning striking through the sky, quickly silencing the fairies as they then heard a rustling sound drawing nearer, a sound they knew very well that caused an extreme sense of dread to come over them.
“Rain,” Cilia breathed out with fright. She quickly tried to lift Pip up in her arms, frantically fluttering her wings to get them airborne, while Pip groaned and fell limp in her grasp. “Pip! You have to fly! We have to go, now!”
“I can’t… move my wings…” Pip whimpered. “Cilia… I’m so hungry… I don’t feel so good.”
“Pip! Please fly! I can’t carry you like this!” Cilia begged as they slowly ascended. She spiraled around while trying to lift Pip in her arms before the two fell down and crashed into the ground. After coughing out dirt again Cilia crawled over to Pip who was lying on her side with a pained expression.
“I’m starving, why is this happening to me?” Pip whimpered.
“Pip, we have to go!” Cilia pleaded as she shook her friend.
The two then froze as they heard it, with Cilia staring ahead at something with terror while Pip slowly turned her head to see what she feared it was. A blurry veil of heavy rain was seen coming closer, the roaring sound to the tiny fairies making their hearts skip a beat as the curtain of water drew across the grassy field towards them.
“Rain!” Cilia screamed.
“Fly, Cilia! Fly away!” Pip cried out.
“I’m not leaving you! I just found you, I’m not going to lose you now!” Cilia argued as she tried to drag Pip away on the ground. She frantically kicked and trotted against the dirt w
hile holding Pip from behind, the weakened fairy watching with horror as the rain closed in. A few drops hit near them, impacting hard and loud, causing the girls to scream as thunder boomed in the sky again.
“Fly, Cilia! It’s going to kill you!” Pip screamed out.
“I’m not leaving you!” Cilia barked back as she kept trying in vain to drag the fairy away by foot.
After a few more steps she slipped and dropped down with Pip in her arms, the two girls shrieking in terror as the wall of rain passed over the field and came upon them. They shut their eyes and held onto each other, both bracing for a painful death as they heard the heavy downpour of water pounding the ground all around them. However after a few seconds they both slowly stopped screaming as they realized they weren’t being killed horribly. Their eyes popped open then watched with surprise at seeing something over them that was blocking the rain, a familiar tunic and a pair of smaller than average breasts inside it.
“Clover?” Pip asked as they saw the elf leaning over them.
“What the fuck is wrong with you two?” Clover shouted as she kept her body over the two fairies with her arms held around them. Her back was pelted by the rain while her long pigtails were draped down her shoulders and in the mud.
“Are you suicidal or something?” she demanded while looking down to the two tiny fairies she was keeping dry. “If I didn’t hear you screaming just now you would both be puddles of blood in this storm. What are you doing out here like this?”
“What are you doing out here?” Cilia asked.
“What am I doing out here? What are you two doing out here? Didn’t you know that rain is lethal to you?”
Lightning crackled and struck through the sky as the wind picked up. Clover braced from the gust hitting against her and looked around quickly while keeping her body low over the fairies. She only saw the grassy field and trees nearby, the branches and leaves swaying wildly in the wind as thunder boomed overhead.
“Dammit, we need to get out of this,” Clover snapped. She quickly picked up the fairies and held them close, with one hand covering them while she cradled the tiny monsters near her chest. Under the protection of her hand Cilia and Pip watched with fright at seeing through a tiny space over the elf’s arm the sight of large raindrops streaking down close to them.
“Fuck, why do I have to deal with all this bullshit?” Clover shouted before she dashed towards the nearby fallen trees.
She leapt over a trunk of a timber that was cracked in half then darted under another log which was propped up against it over a small rut. Ducking down under the tree Clover shook her head to get the water off her face then watched as the rain poured around on either side of the log over them. The ground was soaking wet with the rainwater flowing around her butt and down to the side along a lowered bank before gathering in a large puddle. Breathing out in relief she then looked down to her arm as she moved her hand, seeing the two fairies watching her with wonder while still trembling slightly.
“What the fuck are you two doing out here?” Clover demanded. “Are you trying to get yourselves killed? Why didn’t you go back to the caravan?”
“We tried, but Pip couldn’t fly,” Cilia said looking to her friend. Pip lowered her head in remorse while holding her stomach, a tiny growl coming from it as Clover watched her carefully.
“Couldn’t fly? Why not?” Clover asked. “She’s got wings, of course she can fly.”
“I’m so hungry. It hurts,” Pip whined with a strained expression. “I don’t understand, Specca fed me something earlier. How come I’m so hungry now?”
“You can’t eat their food,” Cilia explained shaking her head. “You need their juices, that’s all you can eat.”
“What do you mean?” Clover questioned. “She can eat other stuff, I’ve seen her do it.”
“But she’s not supposed to,” Cilia insisted at her. “We get sick and really hungry if we don’t have the juices of life.”
“Sick?” Clover asked looking to Pip.
“Don’t you know this? How can you not know this?” Cilia asked her friend.
“I don’t know,” Pip replied with a shrug. “I don’t know a lot of stuff.”
“It’s true, she really doesn’t,” Clover dryly chimed in.
“Doku tried to feed me some of her food when we first met,” Cilia explained. “I don’t remember eating it, but she said I did eat it, and at the time I felt okay like I really did eat it. But after a while I got really hungry, so hungry that eating her food didn’t help. It only made it hurt more.”
“So you’re saying normal food… is bad for you?” Clover asked curiously.
“Pip, you have to have the yummy juices of life,” Cilia pleaded. “Fairies need that to live, you can’t eat what the others eat or else you’ll actually starve to death.”
Pip slowly nodded then looked at Clover with worried eyes, the elf glancing away while brushing a hand through one of her pigtails to get the mud and leaves out of it.
“Why did you come out here?” Pip asked. “Why did you save us? I thought you didn’t like fairies.”
“I don’t,” Clover scoffed. She then noticed Pip watching her with a teary eye while Cilia had her head lowered with remorse. “A fairy like you took everything from me. A fairy like you ruined my life. A fairy like you left me to walk Eden alone.”
“I’m sorry,” Pip whimpered before looking down and holding her hands over her face.
“Pip’s not like that fairy,” Cilia sadly insisted. “Neither am I. We’re not bad, we’re good girls.”
“I know you are,” Clover agreed, with the two fairies looking at her curiously as she sighed and turned her eyes towards the rain falling next to them. “Pip saved me from the swarm, she killed the succubus that came here, and she’s always smiling that damned smile and acting so friendly with everyone. I should hate you for what your kind put me through, for what that fucking fairy took away from me. I should have let the rain wash you away and been done with it, I shouldn’t have gotten all wet and dirty saving you like this. I should hate you with all my being. But…”
“But?” Pip nervously asked.
“But I don’t hate you,” Clover told her. “I don’t. You haven’t done shit to me. Neither of you have. I have no right to hate you, not when you’ve been so fucking nice and everything. Look, I don’t want to be friends with you, okay? Let’s get that straight right now. I don’t want you as friends. But that’s not because you’re fairies.”
“Then why don’t you want to be friends?”
“Because I don’t want any friends,” Clover explained, with the two watching her worriedly as the elf shook her head. “It hurts too much watching them die, watching them be taken from you. I lost the best girl in the whole world that day, I never cried so hard in my life as I did then. That pain, that unbearable feeling in my heart, I can’t go through that again.”
“Clover…” Pip softly said.
“So don’t take it personally,” Clover muttered as she turned her head away. “I don’t want to be friends with the others either, so… it’s nothing against you being fairies. As far as fairies go… I guess you’re alright. But still, I don’t want you in my life. I just saved you two because it was the right thing to do. I’m not a heartless bitch like everyone keeps making me out to be. Okay? Are we clear?”
Pip and Cilia remained silent as the rain coming down on the tree and ground around them was all that could be heard. The two watched as Clover gazed out into the storm, seeming to be deep in thought as she held the two close to her chest. Pip then groaned as her stomach growled, holding her arms around her belly while Cilia watched her with growing concern.
“Pip, you need to feed,” Cilia urged.
“It hurts… so much…” Pip breathed out.
“When was the last time you had juices of life?”
“Um… I don’t remember.”
“Pip,” Cilia whimpered before she held her close. “You have to have something soon or else…�

Clover glanced to seeing the two fairies hugging each other while one was holding her stomach in pain then back out to the rain as the storm continued to press on. With a faint blush she scoffed then lowered her hand under her skirt.
“Then drink from me,” she muttered.
The two fairies looked up to her with surprise as she glanced down to them, her hand under her skirt moving her panties aside while she spread her legs slightly. The rain pattered against her boots while she gave a flustered huff and quickly looked away again.
“What? I can’t bring back one live fairy and one that starved herself to death, I’m sure they’ll blame me for that no question. Just… do it and get it over with.”
“Really? I can… have your juices?” Pip asked with wonder.
“I said you could, didn’t I?” Clover snapped while keeping her eyes away from them. “Just hurry up and do it. But this is just a one-time thing, got it? I’m not doing this again for you, even if you forget to feed, understand?”
“Clover,” Pip softly said, looking down to the elf’s skirt then to her face with a small smile. “Does this mean we can be friends?”
“No,” Clover sternly said shaking her head. “I’m not your friend, Pip. Now just… eat up and shut up.”
Pip nodded with a frown then slowly crawled down the girl’s arm and shirt, dropping onto the ground between her thighs then looking at her exposed genitals with wonder. The elf’s hand kept her panties held off to the side while she shut her eyes with a grunt.
“If you’re just staring at me…” she threatened.
Pip jumped then quickly scurried closer, her mouth now watering as the scent from the elf became intoxicating in her hungry state.
“You smell so nice, Clover,” she purred eagerly.
“Don’t say such things,” Clover snapped. “Just hurry up and- AIYEEE!”
She flinched then shut her mouth tightly as another scream tried to come out, her body trembling while her legs lightly kicked about as she felt the fairy quickly licking and slurping her genitals. Cilia crawled closer and looked down over Clover’s skirt to see Pip hastily lapping and sucking all over the elf’s privates while her wings fluttered now and again.
