Chapter 4 – Strange times.


Charles awoke from a pain in his chest like he had been shot. As he opened his eyes he saw that he was in a room that looked like the one he was in when he was sucked into the wandering vortex.

“Finally awake are you?” A small voice said into his ear. Charles looked to his left and saw a little girl on her stomach lying on the stone floor. “I wasn’t sure what to do so I brought you back here.” Charles sat up and put his hand to his head that was in a splitting head ache. As he put his hand to his head he felt a warm liquid on his hands, he looked at is and saw that it was blood.

“What happened to me?” Charles asked looking at his bloody hand.

“You got shot.” The girl said rolling over onto her back. “Like I said, this is all new to me so I thought it best to bring you back here.” Charles looked down at his chest and saw that it was stained red with a bullet hole through the shirt.

“Who are you?” Charles asked looking over at the girl. The girl was now standing up and was by Charles side, she looked to be 12 and had cute little grey eye’s that looked directly at his. She stood about 5’ even and had green hair down to her waist. She wore a light cotton jumper that went to her knees; she didn’t have any shoes on but there was a pair of white thongs in her pockets.

“Silly, I’m your muse!” she said flashing a smile that stretched from ear to ear.

“I don’t paint.” Charles said putting his hand back to his head.

“Fine, I’m really the power inside of you!” she said squatting down next to Charles.

“Why are you a little girl though?” Charles asked lying back onto the cool stone floor. “I mean, shouldn’t you be like some sort of demon inside of me that wants to take over the entire world?”

“I’m not one of those useless demons that only want power!” the girl said with a pouting look on her face. “I’m a nice little girl, and I’m much more powerful than any of those old jerks.”

“Ok fine, but why am I back here?” Charles asked turning his head to the little girl. Charles got an eye full of little girl pussy as he looked between her legs. Charles looked the other way instantly making the girl laugh a little at his embarrassment.

“I don’t find panties very comfy so I almost never wear any.” She said spreading her legs wider. “I don’t mind if you look, I’m not ashamed of my body.”

“Just answer my question Charles said sitting up.

“Fine then mister prude!” she again started to pout but continued. “I brought you back here because you died in that world. Or at least that’s what people think right now, they’re trying to bring you back to life with all manners of spells and potions.” The little girl stood up and put her thongs on the ground and stepped into them. “You aren’t dead by any means, you can wake up at any time you want and leave me here, but then I don’t get explain myself to you and we won’t have that good of relationship.” Charles turned his head at this and looked at her. “Like I said before, I’m your power, when you drank that weird blood junk it attracted a lot of powers to you, I got here first because I was following you since you fell through the portal here.”

“Ok, do you have a name at least?” Charles asked looking at the little girl.

“Oh right, I better tell you my name, duh! It’s Cecilia.”

“Ok, pleased to meet you Cecilia.” Charles said holding out his hand.

“Likewise Charles!” Cecilia said taking his hand with her small one and shaking it. “Want to have sex now?” Cecilia asked still holding Charles hand.

“Not right now, but thank you for the offer.” Charles looked upwards and saw a giant bird like creature circling above them. “What’s that?” Charles asked pointing at the thing.

Cecilia looked up and when she saw the bird she started to scream in terror. Charles looked over at Cecilia then back at the bird, it was now diving towards them at a breakneck speed, talons outstretched and beak open. Charles scooped up Cecilia and put her around his back, he then started off in a sprint away from the bird as it came closer and closer. Charles reached into his coat and drew his remaining revolver, he then turned while running and shot at the now giant eagle trying to eat them. The first bullet missed the bird but the second and third hit it in the wing and then the throat, the eagle crashed into the stone floor tumbling over itself in a heap of feathers. Charles stopped running and turned to look at the now injured bird, he felt Cecilia cling harder to his back and dig her head into his shoulder trying to hid behind him.

“What is that?!” Charles asked as he watched the bird get back to its feet.

“That’s Lewis, he’s another power that wanted you and he’s been trying to eat me since.” Cecilia dropped from Charles back and hid behind him as Lewis walked over to them. He looked like an American bald eagle, except he was about the size of an elephant.

Lewis walked up to Charles and stopped right before him. He looked down his beak at him and saw Cecilia trying to hide under his coat. “Give me that thing human, it needs to be destroyed!” Lewis said in a deep demanding voice at Charles.

Charles looked up at the giant bird and said right to it. “No.”

“Then I will just have to wait until you leave here and eat her then.”

“I will never let you hurt this child.” Charles said gripping his revolver tightly in his hand. “So you can just go fuck yourself silly jackass.”

Lewis stared down at Charles for a good minuet then laughed. “What makes you think I’m intimidated by the likes of you?” The giant eagle laughed again raising its head up.

“Because I will kill you if you don’t listen to me and leave the child alone!” Charles looked up and saw Lewis rear his head again for a laugh, Charles emptied the remaining 3 bullets into the head of the eagle making him fall over squawking in pain.

“I will eat you and then that little bitch!” Lewis got to his feet again, but before he could steady himself fully again Charles was on him stabbing his way up Lewis. Lewis fell on his back and yelled in pain as Charles kept cutting deeper and deeper into him. Lewis then tried to hit Charles with his beak but instead ended up hitting his chest with his sharp beak. Charles had dived to the side and onto the giant wings of the bird when he saw him try to hit him with the beak.
