Smells like Deer spirit (OC)

(For correspondence and updates, please go to : https://ricebowl70.blogspot.com/2025/08/updates.html )

 One of the biggest advantages that you had found about the countryside was the peace and quiet, it was one of the things that your parents had moved here for and it was one of the things you missed when you had left to go to university. The bustling streets filled with pedestrians who were varying degrees of inconsiderate and the constant honking of cars was now replaced with the pleasant sounds of the birds tweeting into the air and the sound of the wind brushing against your curtains. That was another thing you missed, the pleasant coolness of the autumn wind had been replaced with much choppier and harsher winds in the city especially around the university that you went to since they had built it on a hill for a reason you had yet to figure out the rationale for.  You had missed your old room as well, especially your bed, the mattress still being as meltingly comfortable as it was when you were a child with you wondering what the hell it could have been made out of to keep it in such a state before figuring you shouldn’t complain about good things.

Still, you knew that this couldn’t last forever, only having come back because it was Thanksgiving break and you got a week or so off, the promise of one of your mother’s famous roasts being more than enough to have you running back. Now you were laying in your room, night having fallen and both your parents in bed, leaving you alone with your thoughts and the music of Nirvana playing through your headphones, your head resting against the pillow. You’d close your eyes, attempting to get yourself into the song before you heard something outside, the noise muffled by your headphones. You ignored it, figuring it was just a bird before you heard the noise again,this time realizing that the noise was  much too loud and much too long to just be a bird call.

You took your headphones off, glancing out to the forest outside as the noises would continue, the sounds consisting of what seemed to be screaming and grunting from multiple people which concerned you somewhat. You listened for a few more seconds before you got up and decided to see what was going on, opening your cupboard and taking one of your old hockey sticks to use as a weapon just in case anyone was getting attacked. You would walk out your front door, your feet hitting the grass with a  light thump as you began to walk towards the woods, keeping the hockey stick gripped in your hands. As you moved closer you’d hear as the leaves crunched underneath your feet, the air growing colder as the shadow of the woods loomed over you, both the sensations doing little to muffle the commotion that was coming from their home as you walked inside.

You would wander around the woods for a brief moment before you’d hear another grunt, running towards the sound with your stick in your hands, another scream echoing out across the air. As you ran you figured that whoever was getting attacked was putting one hell of a fight with you hoping that they could put up a fight for another minute or so for you to get over and help them out with it. You’d hear another scream, looking upwards to see a figure in the distance, the darkness shielding them from view as you jumped over a log, feeling discarded leaves spring up out of the ground and against your legs. Eventually you managed to get to where all the commotion was, looking around to see something that made your eyes widen as your feet ground to a stop.

There was a woman who seemed to be the same age as you, one that was seemingly dressed like a deer given the antlers that she had perched on her head and the fur that covered her hands which were wrapped around a baseball bat. You looked to the floor to see there was a guy in a black cloak and what appeared to be flesh colored gloves on the floor, currently unidentifiable due to the fact that his face had been smashed in by the bat, the front of his skull being reduced to a mess of pulped flesh and shattered bone. The woman kept hitting the man, a mixture of a crunch and a squelch echoing into the air before she briefly turned her head to see you standing there. She stopped beating the corpse, tearing the bat from what was left of the skull before she raised her bat to you, one look at her shadow covered face making it clear she was terrified of something.

“Stay back!” She explained as she kept her bat held towards you. “Who are you? Are you one of them?” She asked in a nervous tone, her blue eyes being one of the few things able to pierce the vale of darkness that was around her.

“I don’t know who you’re talking about. ” You responded as you raised your hand up, the woman keeping her bat pointed at you.

“The cult! Are you with the cult?” She explained although you had to admit that she was giving you more questions than answers.

“What cult? What are you talking about?” You responded before you realized that you probably should be calming down the clearly terrified woman. “Listen, my name’s Aaron, I’m staying five or so minutes from here, I haven’t got a clue what you’re talking about. ” You explained, the woman taking a moment to process what you were saying.

“You don’t? Wait, are you an actual human?” She asked, twisting her head somewhat.

“Yeah, I’m a human.” You said, deciding not to question what she was talking about before you’d hear her let out a sigh of relief.

“Oh thank fuck, I thought your face was a mask!” She said, placing the bat by the side as she would do so. “Right,let me get my breath back and I’ll explain everything.” She Said as she leaned down, using her bat to support herself, revealing a figure emerging out of the darkness behind her. The figure was wearing the same black cloak and same flesh coloured gloves that the corpse on the floor was in addition to a mask that poorly disguised the person as another person, the flesh on the mask being pinkish, the eyeholes revealing nothing but darkness within them.

“Oh shi-Lady, there’s someone behind you!” You shouted as her eyes widened, the woman turning around to see the man suddenly increase to speed, the woman swinging her bat and hitting him clean in the side of the head.

“Right, come here and help me finish this guy off, then we talk!” The woman said, The man that she had hit over the head seeming to shrug off the impact, his head twisting to the side before she’d hit him in the head again of which didn’t elicit much of a reaction either. This was when you decided to try and get  in on the defence, swinging your hockey stick and ramming it right into the man's chest, knocking the man back as the woman swung at his head again.  After a few more body and head shots it was clear that nothing was working, a few blots of red appearing in the fabric before you’d twist your stick around and ram it down into the man's knee,the tip digging deep into the flesh.

You’d hear the sound of the joint popping out of its socket before he plummeted to the ground, the woman responding by ramming the bat into the person's face as you decided to aim at the chest. You’d keep hitting and hitting them, occasionally having to hit one of the limbs when he attempted to get up with you wondering what the hell this person was giving that, despite the amount of punishment he had received,  he was still not reacting to the strikes at all. Suddenly you heard the woman with the bat let out an engraved scream as she slammed her bat directly into the man’s face, a crunch echoing out across the air. This caused the man to stop fighting back with you looking to see that it appeared that his skull had been caved in, the mask pointing inwards to the point you assumed it was inside of the man’s face, his twitching body soon coming to a sudden halt.

The woman moved her bat away from the man’s face, just enough so that it would tip to the side, more blood leaking out of sockets as you’d notice the blood was rapidly turning browner and browner. You’d look down at the corpse torso, seeing the fabric on the bodies chest slowly starting to ooze with what seemed to be rotting fat which was when you decided to see what was going on and slipped the edge of the hockey stick inside the sleeve of the masked figure.You peeled it back, watching as the skin peeled back with it, the arm having appeared to have decomposed extremely quickly, most of the flesh that was left now a putrid grey, the peeled off skin meaning you could see ruptured blood vessels and strands of muscle hanging off the bones of the creature.

It turns out your initial assessment of her was wrong as she was not merely dressed like a deer but was actually some sort of deer human as there were no seams in her skin to indicate she was wearing a suit. Your eyes first moved to her face, seeing as her rather large blue eyes contrasted with her black hair, a pair of large ears sticking out from the sides of her head, of which flicked about when the wind hit them. Your eyes briefly looked up at her antlers, seeing that they were long and also somewhat blue, the woman’s mouth having a series of square-ish teeth inside of it, the two front ones being particularly large and as such jutting out of her face somewhat. Your eyes then moved to the rest of her body,the woman wearing a black shirt underneath her denim jacket, varying pins resting across the side of it, the woman wearing a pair of black trousers and some messed up boots. The woman’s fur was a light brown, contrasting with her eyes and antlers as you tried to find the words to say to the mysterious woman.

“Oh shit, you’re an actual deer woman.” You muttered to yourself, her ears raising slightly  before you started to actually speak to her. “Explain...” You managed to pant out before you stopped for a moment, still attempting to get your breath back. “... to me what the hell is going on here!” You said, leaning on your hockey stick before she spoke.

“I will, I will!” She said, the woman glancing around somewhat before she spoke. “You said you lived five minutes away, right?”

“Yeah, I’m on the border of the forest, why?” You asked, slightly confused.

“If you take me back to yours then I’ll tell you everything.” She said, looking up at her before she spoke again. “I will explain all of this to you, I just can’t be out here with them around.” She explained with you wondering if that would be the best idea given that you’d just beaten something to death that you didn’t want attacking your house or your parents but you also wanted answers about what the hell was going on.

“Alright, deerwoman, follow me back and keep an eye out for any of those guys.” He said, pointing the stick at the festering corpse before she’d nod at you.

“Great, lead the way, Aaron.” She Said, keeping a close eye of what was behind you as you led her out of the forest, keeping the stick held close to you just in case anything else poked out of the shadows. Eventually you made your way out of the forest, seeing the light of your room in the distance, the woman being close behind you, constantly looking behind her as you made her way up the thankfully flatter grass. A few moments later you were back in your room, hopping over the windowsill with the woman soon joining you, closing the window behind her  before she turned to you. She’d let out a sigh of relief, laying her bat against the wall before she sat down on the mattress, joining her a moment later before she would start talking.

“Suppose I should introduce myself, huh? My name's Autumn and, as you can see, I’m not human.” She explained, moving her hands up and down to motion to her body.

“Yeah, I can see now. I thought you were just a human in some weird suit. What is your kind actually called? Feels rude just to call you deer people.” You asked, the woman smiling somewhat as she responded.

“To be fair I thought you weren’t human until you said so. Anyways, I am a Deerkind and those people out there were hunting me because of it.” She said, her legs crossed somewhat.

“And those people were?”

“Cultists, also not human,by the way. I think they wear the outfits so they can pretend to be humans from a distance. They call themselves the children of the waste.” She said, taking a deep breath before she spoke. “They worship this virus, the waste. It’s something that affects the brain and nervous system, wearing it down until the infected goes feral.” She explained as you went to interject.

“Like zombies?” 

“Yeah, like that. It’s supposed to be subtle, at first. They get more restless, they drink more, they start getting bravier, more bold and then…” she paused to raise her hands up, clicking her fingers. “They just break. They become overwhelmed with this unquenchable thirst, they become unable to think about anything else other than it and they attack anything that gets in the way of drinking any fluids they can find.” She explained, making you curious.

“And the cult wants to spread this virus all over the place?” 

“Exactly. They were ranting about how it’s their glorious purpose, gifted to them by their god.”  She said, staring out the window before you spoke.

“So why haven’t they attempted to infect humans yet? There’s a city nearby, dense enough for the virus to travel and not be noticed before it hits. And what did you mean by supposed to be subtle?” 

“It doesn’t work on humans, I don’t think it does at least. And what I mean is usually it takes a year or so for the effects to become present. But what they had in there seems to be hyper potent, infecting people in minutes.” She said, feeling slightly relieved that you were immune from whatever the plague was. “I’m not infected, by the way. It seemed they had to inject the virus, I think whatever they did to make it as potent as it is killed whatever potential it had to spread.” She reassured, which put you at ease somewhat.

“Well that’s good. I take it was just those two that followed you?” You asked, the woman nodding as she wandered over to the window, glancing out of it before she spoke.

“Yeah, it was, and thanks to us they won’t be following us again.” She Said, going quiet for a moment before she would speak up. “Thank you for this, by the way. I don’t know where I would have gone if you didn’t let me in. Do you mind if I stay for a bit, given the cult is still out there?” She asked, her fingers resting against the side of the bed and tapping against it. You thought for a moment, having no idea how your parents would react to her being there but you knew it probably wouldn't be good although at the same time you couldn’t just leave her to get zombified by whatever was lurking inside of the woods.

“Sure, you can stay if you want.” You said, the woman looking up at you and smiling somewhat.

“Thanks, again.” She said as you both would grow silent, not really knowing where to begin with you not really wanting to poke too deeply into what had happened with the cult nor wanting to make a big deal out of the fact that she wasn’t human, assuming she felt awkward enough as it is. After a while you’d start scanning the pins on her shirt for something you could talk to her about, eventually setting on a Nirvana pin that was attached to the side of her shirt, your eyes glancing up into her own before you spoke.

“So, you listen to Nirvana then?” You asked, the woman’s eyes widening before a smile creeped across her face.

“I do! Do you listen to them as well?” She asked, turning her whole body to face you somewhat as she would do so.

“Yeah, I was listening to them before I went to see what was going down in the woods.” You said, waving your headphones around the best that you could given they were still wired into your D-50.

“Oh wow, I didn’t really know anyone else who listened to them!” She Said as you’d move your hand towards your chest of draws and opened it up, briefly glancing around to find what you wanted, grabbing a bundle of fabric in your hand as you did so.

“Here, catch!” You said, gently throwing the shirt at the woman who caught the fabric easily, the woman unrolling it to see that it was a Nirvana shirt, her smile widening as she would stare at it.

“Oh wow, this is kickass! Mind I ask where you got it?” She asked as you lent back against the side of the bed.

“Go right ahead!” You said, inviting her to shoot out a barrage of questions about the shirt, all of which you answered the best you could before the conversation devolved into just talking about the band itself. As you talk you notice that she was actually rather cute when she wasn’t on edge, her smile showing off a softness on her face that her previous nervous look didn’t really show. You and her would talk until you couldn't, your  tongue almost feeling numb by the time you were done, your eyes glancing over to your clock to see that you had been talking for several hours to the woman. “Holy shit, it’s nearly 1AM.” You said, the woman turning her head to the clock to see the same thing.

“Jesus, it is! We managed to throw ourselves into trance there.” She said as she would get up off the bed, rubbing her eyes somewhat which seemed to indicate exhaustion was hitting her. “Anyways, you got a couch I can sleep on by any chance?” She asked, wiping her eyes again as she spoke.

“Yeah, it’s in the living room, the door should be wide open. Also it's a living room-kitchen combo so if you want anything for breakfast just take it.” You said as she would nod at you.

“Great. Right, I’ll see you tomorrow then, Aaron.” 

“See you tomorrow, Autumn.” You responded before she walked out of the door , leaving you alone in your room as she headed over to the front room as you would strip off most of your clothes and slide onto your bed, looking up at the roof as you turned the lamp off. As you began to drift to sleep you imagined that this had to be one of the more eventful days of your life between killing some cult members and finding out that Deerkind existed. Your thoughts then wandered to Autumn, the woman seeming to be pretty lovely when she wasn’t fighting off a literal death cult with you just hoping that said death cult didn’t show back up. You’d then feel your eyes grow heavier and heavier , briefly wondering what tomorrow would bring as you fell asleep, quietly snoring into your pillow as Autumn did the same on the sofa.

“What the hell are you even supposed to be?” Was the first thing you heard as you woke up, half of the words muffled as your eyes snapped open, desperately attempting to come to full consciousness as you wondered what was going on.

“Listen, I know this is a shock, but just-“ shouted a voice that was distinctly Autumns, the woman being interrupted by the sound of something slamming into the wall.

“I know that deers aren’t supposed to be walkin’, I know that much!” Shouted a male voice,most likely your fathers as you threw yourself off the bed and onto your feet, reaching down to grab ahold of your trousers.

“If you’d just hear me out then I’d tell you what I’m doi-“ the Deerkind attempted to say before she presumably got something else thrown at her. “COULD YOU STOP THROWING THINGS AT ME?” She shouted in response as you finally managed to slip your trousers on, deciding to slip on your shirt on the way there.

“I will when you leave my house!” Your Mother shouted from the living room as you ran down the hall, opening the door to see that Autumn was pacing around the left side of the room, a variety of baking trays and utensils littering the floor, a few dents on the drywall behind her. On the other side were your parents, your mother being crouched behind the kitchen counter like she was in a war zone, your father standing beside it as you went to speak.

“What the hell is going on?” You asked, managing to get your parents' attention as you made your way over to Autumn , mainly in an attempt to stop your mother from throwing the rest of the kitchen at her.

“We found this deer… THING sleeping on the sofa, it must have broken in here somehow!” Your Father shouted, a sigh escaping your mouth as you went to speak.

“Firstly, she’s a Deerkind and secondly I know who she is, I was the one that let her in to begin with!” You explained, Autumn glancing between you and your parents as your mother poked up from behind the counter.

“Why did you do that?” She asked as Autumn decided to step in.

“Your son saved me from cultists and let me in here to hide out from them.” She explained as she would move herself so she was slightly behind you.

“Aw, what a load of rubbish!” Your father shouted as you’d grind your teeth together with someone. “You weren’t getting attacked by anything at all, there ain’t no cultists here! The only reason you even got in here was ‘cause YOU are too soft to say no to anyone!” He said, turning his head to you before you spoke.

“Well I actually know there’s the cult because I went up into the woods and saw them in the flesh, maybe if you weren’t half deaf you’d have heard the commotion.” You said, gradually having enough with your dad’s confrontational attitude.

“Don’t you talk back to me! What I’m saying is this Deer wo-“

“It’s Autumn, I do have a name.” She responded, a slight smile moving across your face as your father scrunched up somewhat, your mother taking over the interrogation.

“Right, Autumn, who are these cultists then?” She asked as Autumn let out a slight sigh.

“They’re a death cult, obsessed with a virus that they want to infect everyone with to turn them into Ferals.” She said as your mother looked somewhat confused.

“Ferals are zombies, essentially.” You interjected so your mother wouldn’t question it.

“Yes, they’re like zombies, just with fluids instead of brains. I managed to get out of their compound and a couple of them chased me into the woods which was where Aaron found me and helped.” She said as she looked at you and smiled. “Then he led me here and let me hide out here for a bit.” She explained, your mom seeming more sympathetic now it was explained.

“Oh come on, do you really believe this?” Your dad said as he moved his head to look at his wife.

“There’s a Deer person standing in the middle of our front room, I can believe that there’s cultists and zombies out there.” She responded as you figured this would be a good time to interject.

“Right, so can she stay? Given the situation and all?” You asked, your parents growing silent for a moment before your mom went to speak.

“Sure, she can stay, as long as she doesn’t bring any of those zombies here.” You Mother Said, a sigh of relief escaping your mouth and autumns, your dad still scowling at the Deerkind.

“Thank you. I know it’s a lot but I’m just glad I have a place to stay. Shall we… get out of your way?” Autumn asked, a silence moving across the room for a moment. 

“Yeah, that would be good.” Your father responded as you’d nod at him, seeing as he glared back.

“Right, let’s go to my room then. See you when you get back home, you two.” You said before you walked off, Autumn lightly jogged behind you before you got to your room, shutting the door behind you. “Oh my god, I am so sorry about that. I didn’t know they were going to throw shit at you, I’d have got up earlier.” You said as you would move to the bed, the woman’s face slwoly softening again.

“It’s fine, you defended me from your mothers onslaught at the very least.” She said before she moved over to your headphones, feeling them in her hands as she’d do so. “You know, I’ve never used a pair of these, figured they wouldn’t fit. Mind if I try them as we wait for them to go?” She asked, gazing at them for several moments.

“Sure, go right ahead, although there’s one thing I want to ask.” You said, the woman stayed silent for a moment so you could ask her the question. “What do you eat? I want to make some breakfast for you.” You said, the woman smiling at you.

“Aw, thanks! It’s just anything green really, grass, flowers, that sort of thing.” She said as she moved the headphones over her antlers. “Now if you excuse me, I’ve got some music to listen to. “ she said with a chuckle as she laid down on your bed with you deciding to turn on the mini tv you had to see if you could find anything to watch. Given the early hours there was absolutely nothing on other than the news, you decided that you may as well go out and grab some foliage for her to enjoy, pointing to outside when you left so she knew where you were. Eventually you’d manage to grab all that you needed, waiting for your parents to leave the house before you went back inside, throwing the plate of various flowers onto the table before you moved to your room, seeing Autumn chilling out.

“They’re gone! And breakfast is very much served.” You said, the woman chuckling as she would take off the headphones. 

“Well, I guess I can’t wait to have it then. Lead the way, Chef.” She Said, eliciting a chuckle from you,as she would proceed to get herself off the mattress and into the now much quieter kitchen, the woman sitting on a stool resting by the sound of the encounter before she tucked in. You’d watch as she ate for a moment, noting that she did eat just like a deer did before you decided you should say something instead of just watching her eat like some stalker.

“So, do you have any family then? I hope they’re more rational than mine, that’s for sure.” You asked, the woman wiping a stray petal from her face before she would speak.

“I do, hold on…” She Said as she would reach into the pocket of her jacket, grabbing ahold of a folded up piece of paper before she unfolded it on the table. “There they are!” She Said before she would go back to eating. As you look at the image you notice that the many Deerkind pictured were all looking different from one another, some of them skinny, some of them wide, but all of them looking distinctly different from one another. You’d also see what you assumed to be a younger Autumn, the girl's horns looking a bit too big for her head and her a bit longer than what it was now.

“They look lovely! So, why do they all look different then?” You asked, the woman looking down at the photo before looking back up at you.

“Mana.”

“Mana?” You asked, confused by what she was talking about given the only Mana you knew was from video games.

“It’s something in our blood,some sort of cell or something. It’s rather unpredictable, apparently certain concentrations in certain areas of the body cause people to mutate which is why everyone looks so varied.” She said as she would point at you. “The reason you humans are so standardized is due to the lack of mana in your blood. Makes you grow much more uniformly than we do.” 

“Alright, that sounds reasonable enough.” You said, wondering if you should ask the question or not before deciding you might as well.”So, can you do magic then? Like, throwing fireballs and stuff like that?” You asked, the woman chuckling in response. 

“Yeah, almost all monsters can. Although my magic is weaker than most, my teachers suspected I had a low mana count in my blood, so I can’t do anything cool.” She Said, looking behind her to the window to see a plant on the windowsill, the woman turning her body to face it as she would do so. “However, I can speed up the growth of plants like this budding flower here if you want me to try?” She asked eagerly.

“Sure, show me!” You said as the woman nodded and raised her hand into the air, squinting somewhat before you'd suddenly see as a glow appeared across her hand and arm, going up to her elbow. A few seconds later you’d see a slight growth on the plant, the glow being slightly green before you then watched as weeds began to grow around the flower, the growth being pretty quick despite her fear she was bad at it. You’d watch as she would get up, hand still outstretched as the weeds would grow even faster before she would suddenly stop, the glow fading from her hand as she would stumble around. Her legs then gave out from underneath her with you practically jumping from where you were to grab ahold of her, managing to catch her in your arms.

She’d lay there for a couple moments, the woman having a hazy look on her face before she  reached to your shoulder, grabbing ahold of it before she would realize the position that she was in. You’d watch as the woman started blushing, the heat across your face seeming to indicate you were also blushing as she hurriedly get out of your grasp and onto her feet, her hooves flicking against the ground. “S-sorry! Magic kinda rushes all the blood to the limb that’s casting,I must have done it too quickly!” She said in a hurried tone before she moved herself over to the stool, unsteadily sitting on it again.

“It’s no problem, it’s fine!” You said, feeling as the heat died down on your cheeks as you stared at the plant.

“I hope your mom doesn’t get pissed that I ruined her plant.” She Said, staring at the mess of weeds as she ate the last of her meal.

“Eh, what she doesn’t know can’t hurt her.” You said, your eyes moving back to the photo.”So, how did you get separated from your parents then?” You asked,the woman’s expression instantly taking a darker tone, her softer features sharpening somewhat as you’d see the emotion drain out of her eyes, replaced with a look that seemed more mournful.

“Well, they also got captured by the cultists.” She said, moving closer to her as you could near her voice was already wavering. “We were locked up in this old stable, one stall each, when the cultists showed up with the virus. They went to my dad first, injecting him with it before they injected my mom, the only reason they didn’t infect me was because they had to go and get some more of it.” She explained, the girl placing her arms around her stomach and sides as if to hug herself. “It didn’t take long for them to…succumb. They started babbling about being thirsty within the first minute or so and became completely infected within five. Dad managed to retain some of his higher capabilities, he could still talk somewhat, but Mom… just became an animal. Roaring and walking on all fours, ramming herself against the sides of the stalls, scratching the metal until her fingers bled.” She Said, tears welling up at the edges of her eyes.

“Jesus…” you said, moving close enough now so that she was right next to you. 

“I-i managed to find a metal bar in my stall, I pushed it between the old locks and broke out. I… wanted to run but then I realized I had to do something to stop them… suffering.” She said, tears starting to run down her face. “There was a rifle, on-on the side of the stalls,I think it was l-left there by the people who were in the barn before. I don’t think the infected, even the s-smart ones, knew how to use it so I picked it up, checked if it was loaded. It was.” She Said,clearly struggling through the story now as tears rolled down her cheeks, soaking her fur. “I looked over the edges of the stalls and I shot-shot them both. B-both of them are gone!” She cried as she buried her head in her hands. “Both of them are gone.” She muttered to herself, her fingers digging into her head.

“Autumn, I’m so sorry. Do you wan-“

“S-stay.” She said as she looked up at you, her eyes wet with tears. “P-please, just stay.” She said desperately.

“Sure, I’ll stay.” You said, the woman going back to resting her hand in her hand, the woman’s other hand groping at her air before wrapping around your own, clutching it as she would cry. You decided to stay quiet, not wanting to make anything worse as the woman’s tears eventually stopped shedding , the Deerkind just panting into the air as she would stare down at the countertop. Eventually she’d shut her eyes, letting you a couple of deep breaths before she opened her eyes again, the tears stopping before she turned her head to you, a smile moving across her face.

“Thanks. For staying, and all.” She Said before she let out a nervous chuckle, wiping her hand against her face.

“Don’t worry about it, it’s fine.” You said, the woman smiling warmer as she let go of your hand and got up.

“Thanks anyways. Do you mind if I use your shower? I just need to cool off and all.” She said, looking up at you before you’d respond.

“No problem! Also do you want me to put on a movie? I just got Terminator 2.” You said, the woman smiling warmly.

“Sounds good to me. Wouldn’t I need to watch Terminator 1 though?” 

“I don’t have Terminator 1 and the nearest blockbuster is miles away. I’ll tell you what happens when you come back from your shower if you want?” You asked, the woman nodding in response.

“You better! Right, see you in a moment!” She Said before she ran off, seemingly trying to find the bathroom as you moved over to your room to set up your TV, waiting for the Deerkind to arrive. She soon arrived,a few patches of her fur still being wet before she laid herself on the bed with you and, after a crash course on what happened in the original terminator, you turned on the TV and played the film. The two of you watched intently, the woman seeming rather excited by it as she moved herself closer to you, her hand resting on your chest with you feeling as it slowly crawled over as time went on. About halfway through the film you’d feel as her head moved to your shoulder, resting on it as you’d both share a look,her fingernails tapping against your chest somewhat.

“You know, you’re pretty cute resting like that.” You said, the woman letting out a chuckle as she gazed up at you.

“You’re not looking too bad from down here either. Although I’m not THAT cute.” She Said, trying to act humble.

“You are! Certainly cuter than any human woman I’ve seen.” You explained as she would move her head  further up your shoulder.

“Well, you’re more handsome than any Deerkind I’ve seen. Especially when you were standing up to your Dad.” She Said, staring up at you as your heads would align one another, the overwhelming urge to kiss her taking over you. It seemed it was taking over her as well, both you and her hovering around each other's faces for a moment, seemingly unsure about who should start the kiss, her eyes having an ever so slight hint of desperation in them.

“Shall I?” You asked, forcing the words out of your throat as the woman briefly went to speak before she nodded at you. You’d stare into her eyes for a moment before you moved your mouth onto her own, going gently at first as you felt her lips against your own, a warmth’s seeping through them and against your own. She reached up and grabbed ahold of your arms, her eyes closing as you’d feel a bit of her tongue push out of her mouth and brushing against your teeth messily. You’d open your mouth, attempting to deepen the kiss as your tongue escaped and pushed against her flatter, duller teeth before you’d hear the sound of your door opening, the hundred creaking somewhat before your eyes snapped open to see your father was standing there.

“You’ve got to be FUCKIN’ KIDDIN’ ME!” He shouted, Autumn's eyes also shooting open as she pulled away from you as you tried to speak.

“Shit, Dad, Listen-“

“Be quiet!” He shouted in response. “I can’t believe you, fallin’ in love with this monster.” He’d mutter to himself as you’d feel a twinge of anger inside of your chest.

“I’m a grown fucking man, I can make my own choices!” You shouted, the Deerkind scrambling to her hooves as your father continued on.

“Not under my roof you don’t!” He shouted before he turned his attention to Autumn. “And the only reason that you’re here at all is because he wants you here. If it was up to me I’d have kicked your ass out on the pavement as soon as I found ya!” He growled.

“Well it’s not up to you, is it?” You responded, Autumn watching as the entire event occurred behind her. 

“I thought I raised you better than this.”

“I thought you were a better person.”

“Be quiet.” Your father said, the man staring at you for a few moments before he spoke again. “Your mother wants to make you lunch. It’ll be ready in a few minutes if you ain’t busy sucking the mouth of that thing.” He said before he’d proceed to slam the door shut and walk away,leaving you alone with Autumn.

“Autumn, I’m sorry about tha-“

“Don’t worry about it, it ain’t your fault he’s a colossal dickhead.” She said as she would look up at you. “Wanna watch some more of the movie before you get your lunch?” She asked, being less pissed off then you would be if someone called you a thing.

“Sure, I’m up for that!” You said as you and her walked back to the bed, resting against it as you felt as the rest of the day flew by, no more confrontations occurring as night would eventually fall, leaving you laying in your bed staring up at the dark again. You’d wait there for several moments, your eyes growing heavier and heavier as you hoped that tomorrow would be less confrontational at the very least. Just as you were about to fall asleep you’d suddenly hear the sound of something knocking on your window which was much more frightening then it should be as you were a story above the ground. You’d look over to the window to see a pair of blue eyes staring back at you,realising that autumn had managed to find a way to climb around the house to your window.

You quickly ran up to the window and opened it, letting the Deerkind inside, the woman flopping onto the floor slightly before you spoke. “Autumn, what the hell are you doing out there?” You asked as she turned to face you.

“I didn’t want your dad to see me go in here so I just kinda climbed around the side of the house.” She explained, sitting herself down on the bed.

“I wish you just ignored him, I’ll handle him if he ever gets pissy.” You responded as you shut the window and went back to the bed with her.

“I know, I know but it’s nearly midnight and it’s not worth the hassle. Besides, I’ve been through worse, someone once ran me over with their car once.” She explained. 

“That’s fair I suppose. Why did you climb up here then?” You asked, the woman's face going a bit sheppish before she spoke.

“Your dad didn’t really want me sleeping on the sofa.” She Said, knowing you’d be pretty pissed at your father for it. “So I decided to climb around and ask if I can sleep in your bed for the night. Just so I don’t have to sleep outside and all.” She asked, her hands supporting herself as she rested on your bed.

“Of course he did.Anyways, sounds like a plan to me so get under those covers.” You said, heading to the other side of the bed and slipping inside, the woman taking off her jacket and throwing it to the ground.

“Thanks again! I promise I won’t be too much of a disturbance, sorry if I snore or anything.” She Said, a chuckle coming from the both of you as you watched her slip into the bed with you, her body resting right against your own. “Right, I’ll see you in the morning, Aaron. Thanks.” She Said as she would snuggle herself up to you somewhat, the woman’s soft fur brushing against your own as she attempted to pull herself to sleep.

“See you tomorrow, Autumn.” You Said as you’d look up into the roof again, quickly realising that your bed was probably too small to be doing this, her limbs awkwardly pushed into your body and hers awkwardly pushed into your own. Your legs were tangled with hers, her left hoof digging into your ankle somewhat while her hand was resting on your stomach, her face turned to that she was facing you. You’d attempt to get more comfortable moving your arms around before you realize that your arm was brushing against her chest, a slight blush moving across your face. You’d started to pray to every god that you could think off that you wouldn't get hard, the gods apparently not hearing your pleas as you felt as your fabric tightened around your underwear.

You continue to stare up into the air, hoping that she simply didn’t notice the fact that you were erect, your eyes briefly flicking to the side of you to see that she was staring right back. “Is that you, down there?” She asked as you decided just to not answer and just hope that she’d think that you were asleep, a few moments of silence moving across the air before she would go to speak again. “If you want I could, y'know, help you with that.” She Said, your eyes winding before you turned your head to face her, shocked that things were moving this quickly.

“A-are you sure? You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to.”You asked, the woman looking slightly confused before you decided to elaborate. “I don’t want you to feel pressured into it, you don’t have to do it because you feel like you owe me or anything.” You said, the woman letting out a gentle sigh.

“I’m not doing it because of anything like that Aaron. I’m doing it because I want to. Like I really want to.” She Said, the eagerness clear in her voice before she glanced to the side, looking a bit more nervous. “Although I must confess I’ve never actually done anything like this before so it’s going to be a bit touch and go.” She Said as you smiled back at her.

“Don’t worry about it, I haven’t done anything like this either.” You responded, the woman’s chuckling back as she would proceed to roll herself onto your body.

“Well, Let's do this then!” She said with hushed excitement before she proceeded to start kissing you, the woman pushing her face against your own, attempting to deepen the kiss immediately. The Deerkind’s tongue then exited her mouth, canvassing your teeth before you’d decide to move your tongue upwards, feeling her large rounded buckteeth pushing against them as one of your hands moved up into her hair, pushing her down into your face. Your other hand moved over to her back, rubbing against her fur before you’d move your hand over to her stomach and under her shirt, starting to worm its way up to her breasts. Eventually you managed to reach her breasts, feeling as you cradled the petite things in your hands before you started to grope away at them.

She then slipped her hand underneath your trousers, wrapping her hand around your member and starting to stroke it unsteadily, the woman  occasionally overshooting her hand movements as she kissed you. After a few more moments of exploring each other's bodies you’d then feel as  she pulled her mouth away from your own, beads of drool keeping you together before she would start crawling down the bed, pushing the covers aside as she stopped. Her hands curled around your trousers and underwear before she pulled them down, your member bouncing out of your clothing as she stopped moving. She stared at your member for several moments, glancing up and down it before a smile creeped across her face, the woman moving your trousers to your elbows before she moved her head forward.

She would get up close to your cock, hovering only an inch or so away from it before she opened her mouth and outstretched her tongue, pushing it against the side of your member, a groan escaping your mouth. She then moved her tongue up your dick before she pulled away, looking up at you to see your pleasured reaction and smiling before she moved to your tip and started to lap away. From there you’d feel as she kept moving around your length, experimental licks being pattered across the organ, the woman seeming liking the feeling of you against her tongue. After a few more wet licks she would move her head up to the tip of your cock, looming over it for a brief moment before she would take a deep breath and shoved herself down onto your member.

Another groan escaped your mouth, your moans being somewhat muffled due to you not wanting anyone to hear you as you felt as her mouth started to slowly move up and down your cock. She’d only get halfway down your cock before she moved herself back up again, the woman gradually getting used to the feeling of you inside of her, her hands resting against your thighs, pushing down against them. You’d also feel as her tongue would move around your member, mostly focusing on your tip as she would run off the warm, wet organ across it, the woman clumsily hitting against your glands. After a couple of minutes of this she would clutch her hands around your legs before she would push herself further down your member, letting out a few splutters as she pushed down.

As the woman increased the speed of her bobs you’d feel as her hands would crawl away from your thighs and further up your stomach, the woman’s eyes glancing up at you on occasion as you’d feel a warm pleasure across your cock. A few drops of spit leaked out from the sides of her mouth, dripping down your skin as her tongue would start to get a bit adventurous with her tongue, moving further and further down your cock, occasionally running it across your veins. As she kept moving you’d start to move your hands towards her head, seeing as glanced at your hands as you hovered them above her antlers. You waited for a moment, not wanting to hurt her before she looked up and did as best a nod that she could at you, a smile creeping across your face as you wrapped your hands around at antlers.

You’d hear her let out a moan as you clutched ahold of them, feeling their almost varnished texture against your fingers before you began to move her head downward, moving as gently as you could as the woman moved down with you. You moved her down to the base of your cock, feeling as her throat began to twitch around your cock before you’d move her back up again, the woman trying her hardest to make sure her teeth didn’t scratch your member. You dragged her to the tip before moving her back down again, the woman growing more and more used to your cock as she began to move her tongue some more. Instead of the random flailing she had done before you’d feel as her tongue would start to become more focused, focusing on the areas that made moans leak from your sealed lips.

As you kept moving up and down her member you’d start moving her faster, hearing as wet and muffled groans escaped from her mouth as your cock kept twitching inside of her mouth, your grip on her antlers tightening somewhat. You also felt as pre began to drip out of the tip of your cock, falling down across the back of her throat, making her cough a slight bit before she threw out a thumbs up to tell you she was fine. She then swallowed it down, letting the pre flow down her throat as she would clutch at your stomach, her fingernails brushing across your skin as you gazed into her blue eyes. You could see a mixture of love and lust stirring around them, the woman breaking the spare to look down at your waist, some of her spit now dripping down onto your balls.

That was when you felt as your cock began to throb inside of her, pushing against her throat which would respond by clenching back, increasing the pleasure that was running down your dick. A few moments later a pressure would appear at the tip of your member, starting off as a barely noticeable sensation at first before it would grow more and more intense, soon consuming the entire tip. Before you knew it the pressure began to creep down the rest of your cock until it got to the point where you could feel it with every throb that you made, feeling as it would grow harder to keep inside of you. Eventually you couldn’t take it anymore, dragging her down to your base as you began to cum inside of her, her blue eyes widening as her nose hit against you.

The first ropes would spray across her throat, sticking to her inner walls and causing her to groan into your member, the second volley soon joining them as you’d hear her  gasp and grunt. As more and more cum escaped your cock, you found your grip on her antlers to be waning, growing looser and looser as your peak fast approached, the woman’s grip on your body only increasing. Suddenly you’d feel as the peak arrived, the massive bundle of cum escaping your tip and making her cough, causing you to let go of her antlers, the woman then pulling up from your cock, spluttering once she got out. The rest of your ropes would spray across her face, a couple of them hitting against her antlers before your orgasm came to an end, the woman’s coughing coming to a stop shortly after.

“Are you alright? You ain’t got to push yourself if you don’t want to.” You asked, the Deerkind smiling at you as she let out a cough.

“It’s fine, stop worrying.” She said as you grabbed ahold of her body, her eyes widening as you mocked her so that she was laying on the bed, the woman blushing slightly as she stared up at you.

“Now, I think I should return the favour, huh?” You said as you would proceed to move yourself down her body, your hands trailing down her fur before you’d reach her lower half, staring down at her trousers before you began to peel them away. There you’d see her pussy, seeing that it was dripping eagerly, wetting the fur between her thighs as you’d grab ahold of them, slowly pulling them apart before you moved your head between them. You’d wait for a moment, breathing against her pussy and feeling as she would shiver against your body as you looked up at her face. She stared at you for  a moment, shooting you a nod before you then shoved your mouth against her pussy and pushed your tongue against it, a groan escaping out into the air from the woman’s mouth.

You’d start moving your tongue up and down her pussy, feeling as her fluids would drip down against your tongue with you noting that there wasn’t really much taste other than a slight hint of something fresh across your tongue. You moved slowly, not wanting to overwhelm the woman more than she already was, the Deerkinds hands clutching ahold of the mattress as her feet  rubbing against your back. You could see her lower lips quivering against your tongue, occasionally pushing your tongue deeper and feeling as they rapidly sped up, slowing down when you pulled your tongue away from her pussy. Eventually your tongue creeps upwards as you’d move your hands around her waist, briefly brushing by what you assumed to be a tail at the top of her rear.

You’d occasionally stare up at the woman’s face to see how she was reaction, the woman’s buck teeth pushed against her lips and her eyes half lidded from the pleasure running across her crotch. You'd feel as her body would wiggle around the bed, the mattress letting out a few creaks as she shifted around, especially when you pushed inside of her, the woman’s thighs rubbing against the sides of your heads. You kept moving up and down her pussy, feeling as her pussy got wetter and wetter the more you’d lap at it, briefly moving up to the top of her pussy before you’d hear her let out a loud moan, her entire body shaking from the feeling. You glanced up at her, the woman staring down at you with a mixture of lust and shock moving across her face as moved yourself upwards. 

From there you started to lap at her pussy a lot faster than you had done before, pressing against the area that caused her to moan a lot more, the woman’s teeth pushing into her lips as she felt the pleasure wash across her. The woman’s inner walls also twitched a lot more rapidly, the walls battering against your tongue whenever you moved slightly  deeper inside her, fluids dripping down your jaw. You’d hear her breathing grow more and more ragged, her chest pushing up into the air as she felt pleasure overtook her, her thighs now rubbing against her face even more than beforehand. Either way you didn’t want to stop especially as you felt how pleased she was, the woman’s hooves grinding up against your back as you’d continue to speed up against her.

A few more moments of pushing against her pussy would cause the woman’s hand to move to your head, grabbing ahold of as if to steady herself before she would proceed to push your head further against her pussy. The woman’s flow of fluids continued to increase, spraying out of her pussy and coating your mouth and chin as what was not caught by her fur flowed down onto the mattress beneath you both. You’d feel her fingers twitching across your scalp, the woman seemingly wanting to grasp ahold of your head without hurting you, something that you would appreciate. You’d also feel as her hooves were rubbing across your back, her breathing and moaning growing even louder despite the best efforts from the Deerkind to suppress the eager noises.

That’s when you felt a rapid increase of her fluids dripping out of her pussy, hearing as her moans grew shriller and louder, her tongue lashing up against her teeth somewhat as she tried to contain her orgasm. You’d keep pace, feeling as her lower lips clenched faster and harder then before, the woman’s hooves tapping rapidly against your back, her thighs rubbing against your cheeks more and more. You would start writhing against her clit, making sure that she was in the most pleasure she could possibly be in, her back arching against the mattress as she would groan. You’d then suddenly hear as her feet left your back, the woman pulling you as far as she could before her legs wrapped around your head, trapping you in her grasp as she came all over your face.

You’d feel as the fluids would rapidly spray out of her pussy, coating your face with her juices as you’d feel a portion of the fluids splashed across your teeth and tongue as her legs kept you from moving. More and more of her lust sprayed out of her pussy, splashing across your face and the mattress as you’d feel as her thighs suffocated you somewhat, the lack of oxygen making the feeling somewhat more pleasurable. A particularly loud moan escaped from her mouth, the woman hitting the peak of her orgasm as you’d feel a particularly large amount of fluids escaping her, filling your mouth. After that her orgasm came to an end, the woman still keeping you in her pleasantly suffocating thighs, the soft fur making it feel somewhat relaxing despite the burning in your chest. 

As she came out of her pleasure filled high she would look down to see your half oxygen deprived face sticking out of her thighs, the woman’s eye widening before she would untangle her legs from around your head. “Oh shit are you alright? Didn’t mean to choke you out like that.” She said, attempting to keep herself hushed as you wiped your face somewhat clean.

“I’m fine, don’t worry about it. Besides,your thighs were soft as hell, it was pretty pleasant.” You said, the woman stifling a laugh as you would get up, resting your knees on the mattress which meant your now erect cock was resting right above her pussy. Your hands reached down to her shoulders, holding them as she would look up at you and smile, moving her hands so they were resting across your back.

“Just make sure to be g-gentle, OK? It is my first time, after all.” She said, her legs folding beside your own.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be as gentle as you want me to be.” You said, the woman smiling back as you would move your cock over to her pussy, feeling how warm it was against your member as you would start to try and push your way inside. A moan hitched inside of her mouth as you pushed your tip in, the woman’s tightness meaning that you couldn’t push inside of her in one go especially since you wanted to be gentle with her. You’d both shudder and moan as you’d slowly push more and more of yourself inside of her, getting about two thirds of the way down before you came to a brief and sudden stop. A second later the two of you groaned out into the air, feeling as your cock suddenly managed to push all the way inside of her, your base hitting  her pussy with a wet thump. 

You waited for a moment, trying to catch your breath as you felt her tightness wrapped around your cock, her inner walls twitching as she tried to muffle her moans by pushing her hand against her mouth before you’d start to pull out. You’d feel as her pussy relaxed somewhat, the woman’s moans growing quieter as you’d feel inch after inch of your cock hitting the relatively cold air of your room with you looking at her face  to see she looked rather worried. “A-Aaron?” She asked, her voice quivering as you looked down to see that there was some blood leaking out of her nethers.

“Ah, shit, listen-“

“It doesn’t hurt, but it’s y’know-“ She said clearly trying to beat around the bush as she got more and more nervous about the situation.

“It’s fine, it happens sometimes!” You said, the woman looking up at you, still somewhat worried but looking a bit more relaxed.

“It does?” She asked, twisting her head somewhat,

“Yeah, especially if it’s someone’s first time. It’s nothing to worry about, trust me.” You explained, the woman seeming calmer but still somewhat rattled by the experience. “Do you want to keep going?” You asked, watching as her face would become that of renewed resolve as she wrapped her legs around you.

“Keep going, Aaron.” She Said, a slight smile on her face as you’d proceed to gently thrust yourself back into her, a muffled groan escaping her mouth as she buried her muzzle into one of the pillows to muffle her moans somewhat. As time went on you’d feel as her inner walls would change how they reacted to the feeling of you inside of her, going from twitching all the time to only twitching when you thrust. Her pussy still hugged against your cock regardless,  one of her hands still resting against your back, her finger nails pushing against your skin as the other laid against the mattress. After a few more slow movements you decided to up the intensity somewhat, moving yourself down so that you were closer to her face , being able to gaze into her blue eyes much more easily.

This was when you started to thrust faster, not fast enough to overwhelm her but just enough for her breath to get caught in her throat during the transition, her eyes shutting briefly before she’d let her eyelids flutter back open again. Autumn's inner walls would also start twitching rapidly again, clutching and pushing against your cock, making sure to knead into your most sensitive areas as you thrusted. As you moved you’d feel as her legs would travel across the sides of your own and end up on your back, rubbing against your spine as you’d feel as her right and shot onto your own, attempting to grab ahold of it. You’d respond to this by moving your hand up to her own and clutching ahold of it, the woman’s clutching you back, making sure you couldn’t escape her grasp.

You, of course, didn’t want to escape her grasp regardless, feeling as your hand was squeezed as you thrusted, the woman sighing and moaning as she looked up at you, making herself more audible as she went to speak. “T-this feels so good!” She moaned out as her other hand moved up to your neck, cradling the back of it as her legs tightened around your waist, her fluffy thighs brushing across your skin. Once again the woman’s inner walls would stabilize somewhat but instead of just  not moving they would clench strategically around your member, moving from tip to base to tip again. You’d look into her eyes, seeing that love filled determination brewing inside of them before you decided to start going even faster, the woman’s moans growing shaky as she felt the speed run through her. 

The woman clutched ahold of your hands even harder then beforehand, her grip around the back of your  neck also intensifying as she would groan into the air,still attempting and somewhat failing to muffle her moans. Meanwhile you’d start to hear as the lewd sounds of your hips hitting her own would become audible as her fluids splashed against your waist, the jucies also dripping down your legs. Her inner walls would move the fastest they had done the entire night, relentlessly clenching around your member as her hooves would start to rub against her legs due to how tightly she was clinging on to you. You had thought that it was a miracle that  your parents hadn't heard but then you figured that this was the first bit of luck you had with them for the last few days and decided not to question it.

That’s when you felt yourself start throbbing inside of her for the second time that evening although this time it felt a lot more intense then beforehand, her inner walls also clenching back much more intently. The pressure would return as well although this time, perhaps as the result of her twitching walls, it was flowing across the entirety of your cock instead of just the tip, making it much harder to ignore then when you were inside her throat. The pressure kept increasing, growing more and more intense by the moment as you struggled to keep it inside of you. Soon you couldn't even do that, clutching ahold of of her hand as you came inside of her, both of you groaning into the air as she felt you explode inside of her.

The first volley of cum was near breathtaking, the massive bundle of ropes pushing deep inside of her, causing her entire body to tremble somewhat as it would do so,the second volley soon adding to the pleasure.  More and more cum ran out of your member, coating her inner walls with a generous layer of pearly white  as you’d feel yourself getting closer and closer to peaking, her lower lips tightening as if to instinctively  keep all of it inside of her. When you did reach your peak you’d feel as the most cum you’d ever shot out in your life left your cock, pushing into her deepest reaches through pure velocity alone. After that your orgasm came to an end, the ropes growing smaller and smaller before they stopped, the two of you exhausted and panting wildly as the last drops escaped you.

You’d pull out of her, hearing her let out one last gasp before you would lay down beside her, your body hitting the mattress with a light thump as you’d see her roll over so she could stare at you. “How did you find it?” You asked, the woman stretching one of her arms over your side before she spoke.

“It was great. Exhausting but great!” She said with the most energy she could before a yawn followed, the woman nestling her head into your chest, her antlers resting against your neck, her eyes looking heavy. “Anyways, I think it’s time we went to sleep, don’t you think?” She asked as she looked up at you.

“I guess so. Goodnight Autumn.” You said,yawning as you and her got comfortable with one another.

“Goodnight, Aaron.” She responded as she would dig herself into your chest a bit more,the woman then closing her eyes as you would do the same, the two of you falling asleep in each other arms as the night drifted on.  But, in the meantime…

Somewhere just beyond where you found her…

Something is about to happen.

“We’d be done cleaning by the time they get here regardless. Have you got any info on how this even fucking happened?”

“What, you mean how they managed to get the enhanced virus? The scientists were apparently talking about it in front of the people they were injecting. They broke out of quarantine and took the virus with them, joined up with the rest of the cult and here we are.”

“Fucking hell. They’re lucky they made it as untransmissable as they did. Hell, they never should have made it in the first place if you want my opinion.”

“Well, I got some good news, they won’t be doing it again, the entire project is getting shuttered and everything it created is currently being destroyed.”

“Damn,what got them to change their minds?”

“Apparently finance heard about it and some of the main backers threatened to pull funding if they didn’t shutter the entire thing. Didn’t want to be making biological weapons, or so a little birdie told me.Now, is this going to be a quiet excursion or are we going loud?”

“If you want all of them dead it’s gonna have to be loud given that there’s a chemical plant nearby running 24/7. There’s no way they don’t hear what’s going on.”

******************

You woke up the next day to the sound of silence moving through the air, figuring that you could maybe have a little bit of a lay in since the past couple days had probably been the most eventful and your entire life. Then, as if god had heard you tempt fate you heard your father’s voice come from downstairs.

“You know, you could wear your shoes at least. I don’t want to see those HOOVES around here.” Said your father, your eyes opening to see that Autumn had left your bed and gone downstairs at some point. You quickly got up to save her from your dads insistent moaning, hurriedly pulling your jeans up before you would run downstairs, hearing as the steps creeped to see Autumn sat on the sofa attempting to watch TV as well as filtering out your father. 

“Maybe just don’t look at my Hooves, it’s weird.” She responded, successfully pissing off your father even more before she turned to face you, her face going from annoyed to happy immediately. “Hey, look who’s awake! I tried to wake you but you were gone!” She said happily as you walked over to her, sitting by her side as your father would move back into making his breakfast.

“What can I say, you really managed to knock me out! Dad’s not harassing you too bad, is he?” You asked as she would chuckle.

“Eh, I think he’s playing as nice as he can be, for now. Still being a massive asshole though.” She said, whispering the last part so he couldn’t hear her.

“Just ignore him, he’ll piss off eventually. Anyways, shall we see what’s on TV?” You asked, the Deerkind nodding at you before you’d proceeded to turn on the TV, seeing as the local news intro came to an end.

“Hello, I am Lily Baxter and this is channel 12 news. Our top story today is that, in the early hours of this morning, the police conducted a raid on an alleged cultist compound a mile away from the Trinitim chemical plant. We now go to Justin Sanders for more infomation.” The newscaster said, causing you and Autumn to glance at one another.

“In the early hours this morning the police were called to a crime officers have called the most disturbing they have ever seen.” They said, showing an old farm with you being able to see what seemed like stables in the background.

“Oh shit, that’s the cult hideout.” The Deerkind Said, staring intently at the screen.

“Rotting corpses, weaponry and vials of cholera were found at the site, the apocalypse cult having  been preparing a biological weapon. The police chief is unavailable as of now but, in a statement released today, the police department urged everyone to stay away from the site until it’s cleaned properly by trained professionals.” The man said as you turned to the woman.

“Did you take them out?” 

“No, I only got a couple when I ran, the gun jammed after I killed my parents. I think I know who did it though.” She said, making you curious.

“And who did you think did it then?” You asked, leaning back on the sofa somewhat.

“Well, my parents told me about a group called the Order. They’re some sort of military thing, apparently they hunt down monsters. They were terrified of them, I remember one time we had to move because they thought that the Order had gone sweeping around the place.” She Said, looking rather worried about whoever these people were as you moved your hand to the side of her arm, rubbing it.

“Don’t worry about it, they ain’t gonna get you in here. I’ll make sure of it.” You said, the woman going back to smiling again.

“Good to hear it. Now come here!” She Said, moving her lips to your own, trapping you in a kiss that you eagerly accepted, your tongues clashing together as you closed your eyes. As the kiss continued Autumn would look at your dad, deepening it for a moment before she pulled away, panting with an eager grin on her face before she turned to your father and stuck her tongue out, pulling down one of her eyelids as she would do so. Your father turned a shade of red that you weren't sure you had ever seen before he walked out of the room, the two of you smirking as you went back to resting on the couch.
