Honestly, Visha had no idea what she was doing. In her mind, she was going with the flow. Whether it was staying with them or finding a way home. She had no idea what the first step would be. All she was was that she needed to do was take a step first.
Since she didn't know what to do, she went to her handy-dandy help page.
She couldn't help but laugh to herself. Thinking it was a brilliant strategy, she learned quickly that it would not be viable.
Visha could only sigh as she got the 'access denied' response.
Fine, she would do it on her own. She didn't need its help.
Alright, think, she paced around the cave. The others who were going in and out watched her pacing. Uri and Xeno looked at her. Xeno smiled widely, and Uri shook his head good-naturedly.
"Go stop her before she walks a hole in the cave," Uri said to Xeno.
Xeno walked over and picked her up. Visha screamed and held him, suddenly being picked up.
Uri once again sighed and looked at the missing limb. Wishing he could be the one to touch her.
Xeno put her down in front of Uri.
"Are you securing the cave by forming a hole from your pacing? What do you need us to do?"
Visha puffed her cheeks and looked at Uri, anger evident on her face.
Taking the chance, Uri touched her cheek softly. She stiffened and looked up at him.
"I'm trying to figure out how to save our lives," she said coquetishly.
She didn't even realise how she sounded, but the two men heard it. And the sound went straight to their cocks.
They say great minds think alike, and right now, both men were thinking of bending her over and fucking her.
Visha pretended not to notice their growing erections.
Instead, she kept talking, hoping it would go down. Because if she were to be honest with herself, her body was definitely telling her yes. While her mind was telling her all the reasons she shouldn't do it.
She didn't know what was wrong with her. She has never been this hungry for a man.
"I was thinking we should cover the entrance of the cave with a boulder. But it can't be too perfect. We need to be able to breathe. Maybe we could set a trap, so..."
Visha stopped mid-sentence. She was sandwiched between the two men.
Moving in sync, as if they had done this so many times before, Uri stood in front while Xeno stood behind. Xeno wrapped his arm around her waist while Uri gently touched her neck.
"We can smell you. Your arousal. You want us, Visha."
Visha shuddered. They can- what?!
She wasn't sure what to do. If it were her normal self, she would push them away and run for the hills. But right now, she wanted to do anything but that.
She felt their erections pressing on her body. Instead of feeling agitated, she could feel her body responding. Uri pressed his face into her neck, his tongue skimming across it.
Meanwhile, Xeno was smelling her hair. Pressing his erection even more against her backside.
She was surprised by how pleasurable she thought all of this was.
Is this what Sys means by a new life? A body that can't control itself? No, wait, this is my body.
With all the power she could muster, she finally opened her mouth, "S-stop, please."
But even to her ears, it didn't sound like she wanted them to stop. Her hands traced Uri's body, and she could feel him tremble.
Her mewling became more fervent when she felt Xeno touch her breast.
In the end, it was Uri who stopped them.
When he thought she had calmed down enough, she sent her to watch the children. Neither he nor Xeno could be near her right now, or they would take everything she had to offer.
When it was just the two of them, Xeno spoke.
"She wants us."
"I know."
"She wants us, Uri," he said more excitedly.
Uri looked into his eyes, those big, excited eyes. He couldn't bear to crush him, but he had to.
"We're rogues now, Xeno. People without a tribe. She doesn't want to stay, remember. She wants to go home. Are you willing to abandon your family to go with her? If you take your family, will her tribe accept us? I have one arm, Xeno. I am...defective. I am not worthy of a female."
Xeno heard everything Uri said. However, he still couldn't help but retort, "But she wants us, both of us. Not just me. Not just you. Both of us."
Uri sighed, " She does, but I could feel her hesitation. Don't tell me you didn't notice, I know you did."
Xeno turned to look at Visha, but Uri held his head in place.
"Don't look. She isn't ours. Unless she says yes, we can't touch her. We might be rogues, but we aren't those kinds of rogues."
This almost seven-foot-tall man leaned forward, placing his forehead on Uri's shoulder.
"I know," his aggrieved voice sounded.
Uri couldn't help but laugh, patting his back.
Visha, on the other hand, walked over to the children she saw playing. She noticed one of them had ears and a tail like a tiger. She became curious. Thinking it might be some kind of costume, she went up to him.
"Hi, Nimo. Who's your friend? I like his ears."
The two children looked up at her with innocent eyes. Nimo shyly said hello. The other child didn't speak.
"What's your name?"
He took so long to answer that Visha thought he never would.
In the quietest whisper, she heard him say, "Kit."
"Nice to meet you, Kit. I'm Visha. You can call me Shasha if you like." She turned to Nimo. "You too, Nimo. Call me Shasha."
"Nimo, why don't you have ears like Kit?"
Visha thought it was a game or that Kit just really likes his ears and tail.
"I can't partial shift like him."
"What do you mean you can't partial shift?"
Confused, Visha asked the question. Instead of getting an answer. She saw Nimo shape shift. From a regular child into a tiger cub, then back again.
"Oh! Oh! That's what you mean."
On the surface, Visha seemed calm, but internally, she was ready to tap out. She didn't know what else to do besides that. It was her willpower that stopped her from running screaming for the hills.
In order not to scare the children, she kept talking as if there was nothing wrong.
"Well, I think Kit looks cute with his ears. I wish I could do that too."
She saw the little boy's body tremble.
"Is it okay?" she heard Kit say.
"Is what okay, hun?" Her voice getting softer.
"Is it okay to not be able to shift?"
"Of course it's okay. Why would it not be?"
That's when Kit burst into tears. Visha was flustered, unsure of why he started crying. Her already frazzled nerves we almost to the point of snapping.
Kit lunged for her, and it took all the willpower she had not to throw him away.
He cried in her arms. His little body, shaking. She couldn't help wrapping her arms around the little one, allowing him to cry to his heart's content.
And while he was crying, the rest of the cave people were coming in. The crying alerted them.
Xeno and Uri walked up to her with Kit in her arms.
"Why is he crying?" asked Xeno.
"I'm not sure. He asked me if it was okay for him not to shift. I told him it was fine, and he started crying."
Everyone heard the conversation, and they couldn't help the shock that passed through their body.
The priestess said it was okay. Partial shift is okay. They remembered the friends and family who were dead or driven out of their tribes because of the same problem.
The priestess said it was okay, so why did the priest have to force them to leave?
Some of the people here, as old as they were, started to cry. They cried for their lost children, relatives and lovers.
Visha couldn't understand what was happening. She looked to the two men for answers.
"As the priestess, you told them it wasn't wrong to partial shift. People who can only partially shift are labelled as cursed. So you're telling them this now is like seeing hope."
After Uri answered, Xeno continued, "They're thinking about everybody who dies because some priest said they were cursed."
Xeno's anger was evident. "The reason we aren't in the tribe now is that they wanted to kill my brother." He pointed to Kit in her arms. "He can't fully shift, so they wanted to kill him to appease the beast god. They even claimed my parents had done something wrong to have a son like him."
The anger was practically radiating off him at this point.
Visha's frazzled nerves at this point weren't so frazzled anymore. She was angry, just the same as Xeno.
What kind of place is this? You kill a child because he can't shift?
Visha couldn't understand why they would do that. She looked at all the people here who mourned someone. She couldn't bring them back, but she felt she had to do something.
She didn't want to see something like that happening to her own children.
Kids?! What kids?! Aren't you looking for a way home?
Her face blushed as she stole a glance at the two men.
Finally knowing the circumstances, she didn't think she could stand the stimulation anymore, but she had to ask.
"You two can shift right?"
"Yeah, I'm a tiger, and Uri's a snake."
She nodded in understanding.
Yup! That was the last straw.
"Don't worry, Kit. If you don't like the ears, I'll help you fix them, okay?"
Kit nodded. The gloomy aura Vish first noticed around him vanished. Now he looked like a child and not an old man in a child's body.
She handed Kit to Xeno, who took him.
She then looked at Uri and said, "There's nothing wrong. I just need you to catch me."
As soon as she said that, she fainted, gloriously.
