Naomi picked out the red book, “I’ll take this one.” She said.
Naomi’s mother then smiled and put away the other book and smiled. “Alright let’s both get something to eat.” Naomi’s nodded but stole a glance at Sheena. Her mother noticed that. “You made your choice.”
Naomi sighed, “Yeah I know I just wish…”
“Want to make a deal?” Her mother asked with a grin.
Yukiko gulped, “Naomi. Please do not let her eat me!”
“I won’t,” Naomi mentally talked back to her unborn baby. “Wh- what kind of deal?”
“If you put a nice and restrictive servant link on your fairy,” She touched and rubbed Naomi’s massive belly. “I’ll let you keep that other fairy.”
“REALLY!” Naomi exclaimed slack jawed.
“But you’ll have to keep her in your womb,” Naomi’s mother smiled gently making Naomi pale along with Yukiko. “Or I might let her go. But remember that this spell of yours that you pick will have to make me happy in order for one of those to happen.”
“Ok,” Naomi agreed to the deal. With that said they both walked upstairs and her mother went to play with her little sister Aiko who wanted to play with her on the consoles. Naomi held the book and walked over to her father. “Dad?”
Her father looked over to his daughter. “What is it sweetie?”
“I want to ask you a question,” Naomi told her father who was sitting at the dinner table.
“Sure what is it.”
“Is there any way that I let Sheena go?”
“The fair that is downstairs?” her father asked.
“Yes,” Naomi said as she put a hand on her belly.
He shook his head, “No. We can’t let her go. Not just yet. We need to first have your unborn linked to you before we do. And even then our clan….”
“Clan…” Naomi trailed off. “Wait so grandma and grandpa are?!”
Her father nodded. “They are hunters like me who retired but the clan we are in are multi-species. Our friends the Johnson's are in the clan. Our clan is a small group of different races like your mother, so we have Driders, Nagas, hunters and normal Humans. Mostly we stay hidden from all other races since we all formed the clan.”
“Naomi,” Yukiko spoke up. “I think that your clan you are in is one that is a collection of exiled from different races. They caused issues in the past for most races.”
“So we are like the bad guys?!” Naomi mental spoke back in a bit of horror.
“You two talking?” Her father asked. Naomi nodded as she rubbed her belly. “We are a collection of those who wanted co-existence with normal humans and other races that normally like to eat of kill each other like Naga’s and Driders. The fairies have caused us issues before and normally we catch and remove them or stay hidden so since they found us we can't have them tell the rest.”
Naomi nodded, “But can't we let at least Sheena go? I mean I have Yukiko now…”
Her father sighed, “I'll tell you want I'll talk with your mother tonight and tomorrow after school we can talk about it.”
Naomi sighed and nodded.
