Page 16 of Nine Inch Nasty
The ducks turn into rabid little beasties, with a clear penchant for toes.
Oh no.
Ignoring the cackle of the goddess over the loudspeaker after her admittedly hilarious line, Cory and I discover that so long as we keep creating sweet dance moves to the music that is now playing, the little duckies don't try to kill us. So that's a plus.
That's when I notice a flaw in the goddess’ plan. “Cory!” I whisper yell. “Look!”
I dip them and then spin them out, their eyes catching on what I spotted; the very obvious drain plug underneath the bathtub the goddess forgot to hide.
“We need to get the fuck out of here, Delaney. This is crazy, even for Fairygoddess. Everybody's eyes are on us right now; what if we just use this platform to tell all of them that they've been lied to?”
Cory and I began to shimmy our shoulders back and forth, leaning forward and back as I inch closer and closer to the bathtub drain. I'm trying to be sneaky as I look around us, but if we're not miked, yelling will only show our hand.
Quick as can be, I punch a hole through the cloud underneath the bathtub at the same time I yank the cord, and even though the duckies are way too big to fit through that drain spout, they do anyway. They flow like water until the bath is empty.
The crowd gasps, and I have just enough mind to yank Cory into the bathtub with me as it begins to float like a magic carpet to the next test.
The tub tilts on its side and dumps us, leaving us on a cloud that's nothingbutcloud.
Cory begins rubbing the back of their neck. “Perfect. Another test that makes no sense and proves nothing. This is great, really.”
“There's got to be something here, somewhere.” Then, I remember how Leo and Cory were discovered and transformed back to their normal bodies. “Help me feel this cloud up, Cory.”
“Alright, feeling frisky, are we? I'm down.”
We drop to all fours but it's hard to stay focused when Cory’s ass keeps peeking out of the bottom of their way-too-short skirt. Especially considering I stole their panties. I keep getting peeks of their balls swinging and it’s actually taking nearly all of my focus to not lay on my back underneath them and let them fall into my mouth. Fuck, maybe I have a problem. “That skirt is dangerous, Cory. If we fail this test, it’s going to be because I can’t stop staring at your ass.”
They huff as they keep swiping their arms through the cloud. “And you think it’s easy to keep my eyes off yours in that nearly sheer cloud dress? That has matching panties? Maybe the test is that we have to keep our attention off each other long enough to be productive. I admit that feels pretty damn difficult right now.”
I lean forward to kiss them, because how can I not? “Maybe.”
“Are we even sure we’re supposed to find somethinginthe cloud? What if the answer is like, above us or something?”
I look above us just in case there’s something there that wants me to pay attention to it, then I decide to just go with my gut. Also, with the magic I have. Fairygoddess doesn’t seem to be playing by any rules, so why should I? I’m starting to think she doesn’t actually want my help with her realm, that this is just some sort of fucked up entertainment stint because she’s bored.
I tune into those bodysmith senses, convinced it’s not actually cheating. If there’s someone in this cloud that can give us an advantage, I would look far less stupid just checking internally than crawling around on a fucking cloud, waving my arms around in it like spaghetti soup.
I close my eyes as if I'm going to feed my magic, throwing my head back at the rush I get. This cloud is lusty as hell, eager for me to be wrapped up in it. That clearly can only mean one thing.
Now that I know there’s actually something to find in the cloud, I double my speed, swiping left and right; I'm about to give up when my fingers clip something hard in the cloud, biting my finger. “Son of a bitch!”
Before Fairygoddess can stop me, I hit that switch so fast, and me, Cory, and Adam plummet to the cloud below us.
“You little cheat! You weren't supposed to know he was there! Oh well. I guess I shall feed my unicorns to the fiery pit after all. Make sure you tell her thank you, children!”
Disoriented as hell, Adam looks around him, shaking his head. I drop to my knees and throw my arms around him, hoping he'll catch on quick, so I don't become the villain here unwittingly. “I'll explain everything in a minute, Adam, but we're kind of in the middle of it right now. You see those unicorns over there? I need you to help them out. I know you can command water, and what are clouds but millions of tiny water vapor droplets? We need to get there.”
He looks torn and clearly has lots of questions, but he sees the intent of Fairygoddess as she makes herself visible once more to the masses.
The crowd is eating it up, and dare I say, cheering us on? If I can save these unicorns that their maker is so eager to sacrifice, maybe I'll get them all on my side.
The three of us are thrown back as our cloud zooms to the end of the arena, just in time to catch a group of unicorns before they fall to the fire below.
Sweating, Adam pulls in another cloud and smothers the fire right out, further incensing Fairygoddess. Whatever, she can suck my dick.
I turn to the unicorns that are now struggling out of the rope that their goddess tied them up in. “You guys okay?”
They yelp and jump back from us, tripping over each other. Wow, rude much?
