Chapter Twenty-four – In which Vera becomes irrevocably attached to Ark, who is the only one that thinks she is not stupid.
~~** Interlude | Vera **~~
I have a new name now. A human name like my older sister. Husband gave me it, and it sounds pretty.
It’s Vera.
I know my sister has a human name too. He calls her Prima. She was the first goblin to get a name from Husband.
When I woke up the morning after being given big seed, Husband and Prima were both pressing their bodies against me and it felt warm and nice. Maybe too warm and nice, because I had to piss.
I tried shaking Husband awake only because I don’t like being called stupid and told to hurry up do what she says all the time by Prima. It’s… not easy for me to talk like it is for the other goblins. That’s why a lot of them call me stupid. I don’t think I’m stupid, even if it’s hard for me to do a lot of things that should come easy to a goblin. I have a lot of thoughts in my head, but when I try to speak them out loud, sometimes only a single word will come out and it makes other goblins get mad at me. And even though my sister spanks and hits me sometimes, she’s also the only one who takes care of me.
At least, until now.
“Husband.”
I shook him again, causing him to finally open his eyes.
“Vera?” He called me by my new name. It sounded so nice. I love it already! But then anything would sound better than being called stupid-one. All my life I’ve been called stupid-one.
“Piss.”
“Need piss? Want me go with you to shit-pit?”
I nodded.
“Okay, Husband also want piss, but not see very well in dark, so need help me get there, okay? Can hold hand while walk?”
Husband doesn’t treat me like I’m stupid. He got into an argument with my sister about me being stupid and he told her I wasn’t, that I might just need to learn things a different way from other goblins. He got up from the bed and put on his strange loincloth and had me hold onto his hand so I could help him walk through the cave to the shit-pit. Husband explained to me that he can’t see without there being light, so I was being a big help to him by making sure he didn’t run into a wall or trip on his way there.
I feel strange. I can’t remember the last time someone needed something from me. The other goblins don’t even trade with me most of the time. I just spent my time in my old cave-hole or sat outside by the fire pit and watched the other goblins come and go and do stuff. Except every five suns, when my sister would take me hunting with her. I didn’t do anything but watch for anything moving that could ambush us, like bears or Black-claws.
Husband’s seed-stick is strange. He pees from the same hole that gave me and my sister big seed. I wonder how he does it? Is his piss also big seed or can he just decide which one comes out whenever he wants? He’s a human so I don’t know what is different between our kind.
After we both went piss, Husband asked to stop in the room next to it so he could speak with Ugly Scar. She just had a strong one and Husband walked in on them playing the game of hand-catch called strike.
I know how to play strike. But I’m not very good at it. It’s a game where you take turns trying to put your hands over your partner’s. My sister used to play it with me, but quit when I never once was able to win against her.
Husband also gave Ugly Scar and her strong one human names. Ugly Scar is Berry, her strong one is Diana Artemis. This cave-hole had another cave-hole in it, and it looked almost the same as the one Husband made for me in his cave-hole. But my cave-hole is now part of the same one where he is, not here near the shit-pit, so my cave-hole is the best one!
Husband told Berry my new name and she offered both Husband and I some sweet red berries to eat. She had a clay bowl and let me take a whole handful! Husband likes to hug. He hugged Berry and he hugged his strong one, telling her she was pretty and smart and was going to be a great hunter! Diana tried to bite his finger, because she wanted to mark Husband as her thing. I also want to do that.
Husband didn’t stay in Berry’s cave hole for long, since Berry was getting ready to go hunting with Diana. We went back to our cave-hole and there were many other goblins there who had come to visit.
Stone-seeker, Runt, and Mushroom-picker were all there together with my sister. When Husband got back into the room, he took his special loincloth off and put it on a rag near the high bed he made with stone-magic that we slept on together last night.
“Had take piss.” he told them, and then sat down at the table, letting go of my hand. I sat right next to him where I belonged. No other goblin lived with Husband, which clearly means he wants to keep me as close as possible forever.
“Everyone, this Vera. She stay with Husband in cave-hole from now. Make Vera room over there, so have separate place stay and not make problem. Husband ask all goblins not call Vera by goblin name.”
“Husband gave St-...Vera big seed?” Runt asked Husband.
“Yeah. She uh…”
Husband didn’t say any more words about it. Everyone was already eating, and even though I had eaten all the sweet red berries I took from Berry on the way back to the cave-hole, I could eat more. There was a lot of meat on the table.
“Jewel, we finish Ivory half of cave-hole today?”
“Will Husband do mine tomorrow?”
“Yes.”
“It's a deal!”
Prima talked to Husband about picking a goblin tonight. Husband has the most important job in the goblin tribe. He has to give big seed to everyone so that the tribe gets bigger. I already knew that everyone here has already been picked by Husband and given big seed. Usually Runt, Ugly Scar, and myself are the last goblins to be picked for anything, but even all three of us have somehow managed to get big seed from Husband before being last.
Lily, the name Husband gave to Runt, said she didn’t like the table thing because it made it hard for her to climb on Husband’s lap to put his seed-stick inside and eat fire meat together. Doing that sounded like fun, but I don’t know if I would like the taste of fire meat. Maybe fire things taste good? Mushroom-picker–Truffle, what Husband called her, was eating fire mushrooms on a bone stick. They smelled good and I wouldn’t have minded eating one.
Lily, who was sitting next to Husband on the opposite side of me, had decided to stand up and take Husband’s hand, putting it on top of her belly.
“I'm going to have strong ones soon. Feel.”
Husband ran his hands along the small bump her stomach had and smiled, putting his lips on her belly.
“Belly show too now. Big happy, Lily.”
Husband slid out a little from the table and she hopped right in his lap. I could see her put Husband’s seed-stick inside of her really quickly and she took a big bite of Husband’s fire meat.
“Hey, be sure share with me!” Husband said to Lily while showing his small teeth.
She moved her face close to Husband’s while keeping the big piece of the meat she tore off between her teeth and Husband bit it too, forcing him to tear off a piece for himself or have less meat to eat. But I think it was a game they were playing, because Husband was also rubbing her milkies with his free hand.
“Lily, can pick husband many flowers? Anything that smells good?”
“Why does Husband want flowers?
“Want keep cave-hole smelling good, looking nice.”
“Lily will bring Husband some later on.”
Watching Husband and Lily made me feel itchy and wanting to rub my fuckhole. So I rubbed. Husband was looking over at me and put his hand on my head, rubbing my hair while I rubbed myself. It didn’t feel as good as when Husband’s seed-stick went inside of me. So I reached up, taking the hand that was rubbing Lily’s milkies and brought it down to my fuckhole to rub. Husband looked at me for a little bit and then began to rub it. It felt much better when he rubbed it. I held on to his hand and wiggled my fuckhole against his fingers.
After a while, Lily got off and I… wanted to climb onto his lap.
“Want.”
I forced myself to say that I wanted his seed-stick again. Husband looked at me with a scrunched up face before he spoke.
“Vera sure?”
I nodded. I wanted to feel good again. I could see Lily felt real good, and I did feel good when Husband put his seed-stick in me yesterday. Even my sister liked it!
Husband helped me onto his lap and showed me how to do it without needing his help. I held his seed-stick with my hand and lifted my butt up. Husband put his hand over mine and moved his seed-stick to my fuck-hole and had me put my butt down. I felt his seed-stick go inside of me and it felt the bestest.
I put my hands on his shoulders and my head against his chest wiggled my fuckhole around with him inside of me. Husband put his arms around me and I was very very very very very happy. I like it when Husband holds me. I feel very special.
“Can any goblin bring me goblin hunt pick fruit or dig vegetables if goblin do?”
“Prima will bring them to your cave-hole later.” Prima answered Husband while Husband slid his hand along my hair. He even offered me a piece of his fire meat to eat. I won’t lose to Runt–Lily! I took a bite of it and it… wasn’t bad. I could eat fire meat if there wasn’t any bloody meat, but I still think fresh bloody meat is the tastiest.
“What good girl!” Husband said while rubbing my head. I don’t want to go anywhere else except Husband’s lap from now on.
But I know Husband is busy.
“OOUUH.”
I was making a strange sound because I felt so good wiggling my fuckhole on Husband’s seed-stick.
“PISS.”
“It’s okay,” he whispered to me, “Just let it come.”
Husband wants me to piss here and not shit-pit?
It feels like a big piss coming, though. Not like yesterday when Husband gave me his seed-stick and my whole body got hot and my head was spinning but nothing came out when I thought I would piss then. Maybe Husband was just feeling lazy and didn’t want to go all the way back to the shit-pit again so soon? I admit to being lazy like that sometimes and not wanting to leave my old cave-hole and run into other goblins...
I felt something warm fill deep inside my belly.
It felt amazing and my body wanted to absorb all of it.
And in return for having a full belly of it, something else came out.
Ah, there it is. I feel it now. Everything feels so clear to me right now.
Pisssssss~~~
Ah! I peed.
