My Unusual Girlfriend Chapter 8 By: Anime Lover (ANIME) LOLI(NYMPH) Disclaimer: None Needed When I came to, Terra was no longer in my room. Still a bit tired, I removed myself from my bed and called out to her and got an answer... "I'm in the bathroom." So I leave my room and head to the bathroom, where I see Terra standing in front of the mirror above the bathroom sink, inspecting the wound on her chest, the bandage now off. "So how is it?" I ask, walking next to her, she turns to me, so I could get a better look. "It looks like it's healing." answers Terra. "Yeah, I should probably put some alcohol on it just in case." I comment. "What's that?" "Well, it's a chemical you put on wounds to prevent infection, it burns though." "Ohh, well if it hurts, then I'd rather not have it." replies Terra. "Yeah, but it's best to use it than not. I'm sure what ever cut you like that wasn't very clean." Terra frowns and looks away before commenting, "Fine." I smile and reach into the nearby cabinet and pull out the bottle of rubbing alcohol and a few cotton balls, before quickly applying some of the chemical to one of the balls and nearing it towards Terra's cut, seeing her close her eyes tightly. "Here it goes..." I warn, before dabbing her cut once and after a second, Terra gasps out expectantly with a groan. "It burns!" "I know, but just try to take it, I'll be done quick." I answer, before following the cut down its length, bringing an increasingly painful groaning from Terra. "Ok I'm done." I state, looking to Terra's face and seeing a few tears. "Now let it breath a bit and you can put another bandage on if you want." "Thanks David." she answers. "No thanks necessary." I smile. "It is my responsibility to make sure you're all better." Saying nothing, she gives me a small smile before averting her eyes as color comes to her cheeks. My gaze soon falls to her skin and a thought comes to me. "Do you want a bath?" "Huh?" she questions, looking to me. "Well, you live in the water, so, it can't be good for you to stay dry can it?" "Oh..." she comments, running her right hand over her left arm. "Yeah, I could use some water." "Ok." I answer, walking pass her and to the tub and turning it on, briefly adjusting the temperature to what I think Terra would like, before calling her over and have her test the water temperature and telling me it was good, so I close the drain and wait for the water level to rise. While it did, I decided to ask Terra something that I wondered about when waking up. "Hey, why'd you sneak into my room?" The question seems to catch her by surprise, gasping as her face reddens and looking away. "Were you lonely?" I ask. "No." she answers lowly. "Well what was it?" "...I..." she starts, before trailing off. "You're gonna have to speak up." "I was scared." she answers lowly. "Scared?" "I had a bad dream ok!?" she suddenly declares, looking at me with frown and her face beet red. It took a moment, but then it dawned on me, the scary movie. "Ahh, it was that movie wasn't it?" I comment. "That's why you looked disappointed when I told you, you could sleep in my parents room." She groans, before punching me in the shoulder. "You're so clueless! You can't even tell that a girl doesn't want to sleep alone." "Well I can't deny that." I comment. "But why didn't you just say you didn't want to sleep alone?" "I shouldn't have to!" she declares, before folding her arms over her chest with a pout. I could only imagine Terra laying in my parents large bed, in a humans home, alone in the dark, strange sounds from outside and Terra's shaking in fear, while it was a little cute, I felt bad for not getting the hint. "Well I'm sorry, you can sleep with me from now on." Terra's silent at this, turning her attention to the tub which was halfway full and Terra deciding that it was at a high enough level for her to step into and lowering herself down until her lower half was submerged. I decided to sit besides the tub until the water level was just under Terra's breasts before I turned off the water. "So how's the water?" I ask. "A little hot, but it's fine." she answers, before taking a breath and leaning back, submerging her entire body for a moment before sitting back up and moving her now wet, long blue hair from her face. The fact that she held her breath was a little strange to me and I was reminded of my earlier question of if she had gills, which I guessed were on her neck. "Why'd you hold you breath? You can breath water can't you?" "Yeah, I can." she answers. "It just takes a moment to adjust, I just didn't want to bother with adjusting so quick." "Oh, so, do you have gills?" I ask. "Yep, there right here..." she answers before my assumption is proven true as she points to her neck. "I thought those lines where strange, I was wondering if you had gills when I watched you sleep." I comment, seeing her blush again. "Well, you want to see me breath water?" she asks. "Sure." Terra now, instead of taking a breath, she exhales before lowering herself into the water, looking at me before she opens her mouth, then close it, then repeats a few times before smiling at me. Although I knew Terra could, it was still a little freaky personally seeing her breathing water. I thought I could see the side of of her neck open a little, each time she would close her mouth, I guessed this to be the water filtering through, but because of the movement of the water, I couldn't get a clear look. Terra soon returns above the water, brushing her hair back before I see water fall from the slits of her neck, before a moment later, Terra takes an audible breath. "Ta-da!" she comments with a smile. "Impressive, but I'm sure it's nothing special to you." "Yeah, it's normal to me." A few moments of silence pass between us and I decide to give Terra some privacy and I stand, commenting... "Well, I'll leave you alone, make sure to dry yourself off some when you get out." I start to leave, but... "Wait." she states. "What?" I answer, turning around. She looks down to the water and I could see the color return to her face before she asks... "Would you like to join me?" I was quite surprised by the invite, though she soon adds... "If you don't want to though, that's fine." Given my cluelessness last night, there was no way I could deny her, I walk back to the tub with a smile. "As long as you don't mind if I wash your hair for you." Looking to me with her face still red, Terra gives me a big smile. "Ok!" I begin to remove the little clothes I had on, a T-shirt and my underwear, with my underwear meeting the floor though, I add... "Oh and no fooling around, I don't think I could take another one of your dominant sessions." "Hehe, ok, I promise, just a friendly bath together." she replies. Given the water level, I slowly step into the tub in front of Terra and grabbing a rubber bath comb and shampoo before I sit in the hot water. Terra smile seemed to be permanent as I sat in the tub with her, even when I told her to close her eyes and lean towards me so I could squirt out the shampoo on her head. Only seconds into using the comb, Terra began moaning. "Wow, that feels good." "Well it's supposed to." I answer with a chuckle. For the next few minutes as I combed through Terra's shampoo'd hair, the first thing I noticed was how untangled her hair was, for all I knew, Terra never used a comb before, but the rubber bath comb easily glides through her hair without a single hang-up. The second thing I noticed, moving some of her hair in front of her shoulder, was just how long her hair really was; It reached much further down than her breasts, but towards her waist, or where her human half ended. Given the water level, some of her hair reached under the water and some floated on the surface. "You're hair is pretty." I comment. "Thanks, besides my mom, you're the only other person I've let comb my hair." she answers, still smiling and blushing. "Oh, so you do comb your hair?" "Of course." "Well, turn around so I can get the back." "Ok." Terra does so and I begin to comb through the hair on the back of her head. "By the way..." I start. "What were you dreaming about?" "W-Why?" she answers a bit nervously. "Well you were talking a bit in your sleep and you were mentioning your mom, didn't seem like you were fighting with her either. "I-It's none of your business what I was dreaming about!" she answers quickly. I chuckle and say nothing, it's amusing how quickly Terra's attitude shifts. I soon finish the combing of Terra's hair and grab a small bath towel and dunk in into the water. "Close your eyes until I say you can open them, I'm going to rinse the soap out of your hair, it'll burn if it gets into your eyes." "Ok." Once I finish removing the soap from Terra's hair, and after a brief comb through, Terra turns to face me again, smiling. "Thanks for washing my hair." "You're welcome." "Now it's my turn to wash yours!" she declares happily. "Heh, ok." The rest of our bath proceeded quite tamely, there was a little teasing, from us both when we washed each others body, but nothing serious. After, the day went by with little issue; Alexandra returned, but not for long, just to see how Terra and I were doing and to drop of a couple old shirts and two dresses, declaring that if Terra was going to stay, she should have appropriate clothes to wear. Terra herself was quite happy for the clothes. Aside from Alexandra's visit, Terra and I spent the day watching T.V. and movies, eating and Terra discovering more human food she liked, I even introduced her to video games, which Terra was surprisingly quick to learn the various controls of the games we played and we spent a considerable amount of time just playing video games. The normality came to an end late at night, since we decided to stay up later than the day before, it was quite close to midnight and I came up with the suggestion of taking a midnight walk along the beach... "Hey Terra..." I start, removing the game disk from my Playstation 3. "What?" she asks, sitting on my bed. "Since it's dark out, do you want to go to the beach? I'll be good to get out for a little while." "Sure, if you think it's safe, I'll go." "Great!" With me putting on just a pair of shorts and Terra, one of Alexandra's shirts, the two of us leave the house for the first time since I brought Terra here. As usual for as late as it was, it was silent with not a single person in sight, so we began to calmly walk towards the beach, with Terra to my right. I was a little surprised when Terra grabs my hand, though I say nothing. We soon arrive at the beach and stepping onto the sand, I'm held back by Terra's hold on my hand and look back so see her standing on the grass. "What's wrong?" I ask. "Uhh..." starts Terra, a blush rising on her cheek and looking away. "Can you carry me?" "Why?" I ask reflexively. "Walking on dry sand irritates the bottom of my tendrils and without going into the water, it starts to hurt." "Oh, then you can go in the water if you want, we'll be right next to it." I answer, smiling, though I see Terra's expression sadden. "Do you really want to get rid of me that much?" "Huh?" "You just want me out her so you can leave me, right?" I was shocked at Terra's assumption. "What!? Of course not! I wouldn't do something like that! I said you could stay till my parents get back. The only way you'd leave sooner is if you want to go." A smile returns to her face as she looks at me. "Really?" "Really." I answer, with a smile before stepping back to the grass and with a small gasp from her, I pick Terra up in my arms like the first day I met her and walk onto the sand towards the water. Shirtless, I feel Terra latch her tendrils onto me and wrap her arms around my neck, preventing me from carrying her full, though light weight in my arms. "You may be a jerk at times..." starts Terra, "...but deep down, you're a nice guy." she adds, before leaning her head against my chest. "Thanks, your mood may change at the drop of a hat, but you're cute." Terra moves her hand from my chest and gives me a pouting face, though I just chuckle and comment, "Yep, still cute." A blush joining her pout before quickly placing her head to my chest. The beach was quite long and I spent maybe five minutes walking along, the water routinely washing over my bare feet. "The sound of the water is so relaxing." comments Terra, still resting her head against me. "Yeah, it is." I reply. I walk for a little while more before Terra requests... "Hey, let me down, I feel like going for a swim." I feel her tendrils release me and I lower her to stand on her own and she pulls off her shirt and hands it to me, before gasping. "Oh, do you want to join me." "Nah, I'd probably be a bother since I can't breath water like you." "You wouldn't be a bother, come one!" urges Terra happily, pulling on my arm towards the water. "Heh, ok, ok." I answer, tossing the shirt to the dry sand, though I keep my shorts on as I dive into the water with Terra. Just seconds into the water, I'm amazed at how effortlessly Terra swims, even if she was born here. Given her lower half, she swam exactly like an octopus or squid, her tendrils spreading out and closing behind her, propelling her forward. Moving ahead of me, Terra gave me an accidental, but unblocked view directly under her and I could see the her small slit. It was only for a few moments and Terra seemed not to notice as she looks back towards me with a smile. She soon follows me up for a breath of air and I can't help but comment... "I know you were born in the water, but your swimming is amazing." "Hehe, that's the second time you've been impressed with something that's normal to me." she replies. "Well, it's not normal for a human like me." I answer back with a smile. "Yeah, I guess not." she answers, before I see Terra seem to have a chill and taking a breath and submerging herself for a moment, before returning above the water with a gasp. "We gotta go!" she suddenly declares, taking my hand and diving under the water with me before I could question her and we quickly swim back to the beach. "Hey what's wrong?" I question as we emerge from the water and head for dry sand. "No time to explain! We gotta get back to your place!" she answers quickly, hurrying to her shirt we left on the beach, still holding on to me. Almost immediately after picking up the shirt, Terra drops it with a gasp as another voice declares... "TERRA!" The feminine voice did NOT sound happy. "Oh no..." I hear Terra comment lowly. "I HAVE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR YOU!" With that comment, I could only assume who the mystery woman was. I could see a shadow come up behind me and I slowly turn to face the woman. I'm both fearful and surprised that who I see almost looks like an older version of Terra, long blue hair, though decorated in a few sea shells, tall and nude, freely revealing her sizable breasts. Although Female, this adult Scylla looked much more intimidating than Terra, her tendrils where much larger and her look of anger only helped. "Uhh... hello." I greet, though I quickly shut up when Terra's mother, I assume, states... "Be silent human! Terra, look at me!" I back away besides Terra, soon feeling her hand holding mine tighten before she turns to face her mother, who gasps. "You're injured!" I soon gasp as the woman advances on me and wrap a tendril around my neck. "Did this human hurt you!?" "Mother no!" quickly declares Terra, grabbing her mothers tendril choking me. "Don't kill him! He saved my life!" I'm dropped to the sand as the woman gasps, "What!? What happen to you to cause a human to save you!?" Terra falls silent at this question, though her mother continues... "Don't tell me, you actually attempted to raid a ship on your own!?" Silence again from Terra. "How many times do I have to tell you Terra? You're not ready! You're lucky you weren't killed on the spot. You have to listen to me-" "No." states Terra lowly. "What?" questions her mother. "No I don't have to listen to you!" declares Terra loudly. "You have to listen to me! But you don't! I know I'm ready, but you won't teach me, so I have to learn from other places." "Terra!" gasps her mother. "I am your mother! I know what's best for you." "No you don't!" declares Terra angrily. "You do what's best for you, not me! The truth is, you're afraid to teach me, ever since Abby." I could see tears in Terra's eyes and an expression of sadness replaces her mothers anger. "Terra..." comments her mother lowly. "I know you love me and you don't want the same thing to happen to me that happened to Abby. But your fear is holding me back. My friends are always telling me how great it was to raid a ship with their mom or dad, it hurts cause I can't do the same. Mother, I want you to teach me, I really do." Tears were now falling from both Scylla, though Terra's mother briefly looks away, commenting, "I'm sorry Terra, but right now, I can't teach you." "But mother!" "I need time Terra!" declares her mother, before stepping towards her and placing her hands to Terra's head and shoulder. "Please, just give me time, I promise I'll teach you." "... Ok." sighs Terra, before leaning against her mother, her head just under her mother breasts. After a few moments into the embrace, Terra's mother comments, "Now let's go home." "No." quickly replies Terra, backing away from her mother. "I'm staying here for a few days." "What!?" Terra walks towards me and lifts me up from the sitting position I was in watching the mother/daughter exchange. "His name is David and he's been really nice to me and he said I could stay till his parent get back in a few days." "You can not be serious Terra! You can't live with a human." declares her mother. "But I have been and I'm having fun." "But Terra-" "I like him!" declares Terra suddenly. I felt my face burning and I could see Terra's was quite red and her mother looked shocked. "You... like, this human?" questions her mother sternly. "Y-yes, I do." answers Terra nervously, her face reddening even more. I see her mother look squarely at me and I'm fearful as I guess this is what other guys feel when being examined by an disapproving father, but this time, it was a mother. She steps right in front of me, before grabbing tightly at my hair, pulling it as if she were trying to pull my it out, next she grabs me by the chin and turns my head from side to side, then lifting my arms, before walking around me and I see Terra smile at me. Terra's mother returns to my front, leaning down to look me square in the eyes and asks... "What have you done to my daughter?" "W-What do you mean?" I ask nervously, she couldn't possible know something physical happened between us. "Don't play dumb with me human, my daughter may be a pain, but she's not stupid. You've done something to have her attached to you." "Like I said mother..." starts Terra, "He saved my life and was really nice to me." "He's a male." states her mother sternly. "Human or not, males desire only one thing." she soon stands upright. "Hmm, being a human though, you could easily overpower him, so maybe I could be asking you." she adds, turning to Terra, who looked quite nervous. "Have you given yourself to this human?" "What?" questions Terra, giggling and blushing. "Of course not, ewww... hehe..." Terra's such a horrible liar. Her mother stares Terra down and she soon lowers her head in submission, stating, "Y-Yeah..." soon looking up to her mother and adding, "I've been the aggressor, David has been very polite towards me." That last part was such a lie I couldn't stop the smile, but I knew Terra was trying to protect from her mother's wrath if she really knew of my actions, so I kept my mouth shut on the matter. "Hmm..." comments Terra's mother, folding her arms under her breasts and eying me again, with the same disapproving look as before, then looking back to her daughter. "Terra." "Y-Yes?" "Does this human satisfy you?" "U-Uh... that's kinda..." starts Terra, blushing brightly. "You have given yourself to this human, does he satisfy you?" asks her mother again. "..." Terra gaze was towards the sand and she spoke so low, I couldn't hear her, though her mother quickly solved that. "Terra speak up! Does this human satisfy you?" "Yes!" quickly declares Terra, blushing so bright an egg could probably be cooked on her forehead. "H-He... satisfies, me." she adds, her voice quickly fading. "I see..." comments her mother, a smirk coming to her face at last, before leaning down to look Terra in the eyes. "And when was the last time he has satisfied you?" "M-Mother..." whines Terra lowly, looking away. "Answer me Terra." presses her mother. "T-This morning." answers Terra. I'd be lying myself if I said Terra's mother questioning about if I satisfied her didn't arouse me, I placed my hand in front of my crotch to hide the growing erection I had. "This morning?" Questions her mother, standing upright, "That's an awfully long time ago, what have you two been doing all day?" Attempting to give Terra a break, I lift a hand, gaining her mothers attention. "Maim, we spent the day just hanging out, watching T.V. and movies, eating and playing games." "And you would rather play games and watch... TV." Terra's mother asks, stating TV like it was a foreign word. "Than satisfy my daughter?" It was my turn to blush. "U-uh, n-no, that's not what I mean, it just wasn't on my mind." "Not on your mind you say... Do you not find my daughter attractive?" "O-Of course I do! Terra's very attractive and cute!" I answer, glancing to Terra and seeing her smile at me. "She is not human..." states her mother, "Yet you find her attractive to your human eyes?" she adds. "Yes, you are as well, I can see where-" I reply before one of Terra's mother's tendrils cover my mouth. "'Yes', was enough human." she states, with a smile, before lowering her tendril and looking at us both, before declaring, "Very well, I will approve of this arrangement." "A-Arrangement!?" I gasp, before Terra's mother walks between us, turns around and places a hand on our shoulders. "Until this human's parents return I will approve of this, until that time, I will be joining you two." "What!?" gasps me and Terra. "I will make sure my daughter remains satisfied while she is with you, David. Now, lead me to your home." To be continued
