Chapter 10 Tabitha Queen of the Stags “My name is Tabitha, Queen of the Stags.” Tabitha loved how that sounded, it made her sound so important. But then again, she was so why not gloat about it. She had come here after asking around where the children liked to hang out. Granted Tail Lifters would be the last place she would expect her daughter to be found in, she had raised her so much better than this but…look at the school she was going to. It was no wonder she’s was holed up in a filthy place like this. “Mother don’t you have anything else better to do than checking up on me?” Din asked while pushing past her mother to walk outside. It was a good thing, Tabitha did not want to speak to her daughter in this awful place. Walking outside the older Deerling skipped ahead cutting off her daughter from going any further. Neoral floated over to the group the Jirachi was shaking. “It’s so cold out here, can we please hurry this up so we can get inside somewhere?” Neoral begged. Tabitha smirked. “Oh Neoral, it builds character. Us forest Pokémon do not have the ability to just run into a nice home and get warm. We learn to tough it out.” “Bullshit!” Din snarled. Tabitha wasn’t surprised to see her daughter get up, in fact she expected it. She always was the type to fight the power. Such a rebellious spirited child, she loved it. She wanted to someday take advantage of that fiery spirit that her child had. “Back in the forest we have homes, to actually say that we live like savages out in the wild is stupid!” Din stomped. The sheep called Wooly held onto Din. “Hey are you ok?” “Yes…” Din stared at her mother. “I just need to handle my mother…” “You know…I sense a pattern here…” Neoral said while floating in between everyone, the Jirachi points at Tabitha. “Do all of the Generals and Commanders have issues with their offspring’s? Like really…you are giving me vibes of Ruby #2.” “Honestly Neoral, my daughter and myself have a wonderful relationship. She can be a little defensive at times, but she is a wonderful little fawn.” Tabitha pats Din’s cheek, the little fawn pulls away. “Now, now…is that anyway to treat your mother?” “I’m not little anymore, please do not treat me like I am.” Din huffs. “What are you doing here, shouldn’t you be sitting on your throne back home. Or did daddy wise up and finally put you in your place?” “Oh, my little fawn…the more you try to fight your fate the more wrapped around it you become.” Tabitha wiggles her tail. “Besides, your father was nothing more than a sperm donor to me, he did his job…. granted I think you have a bit too much of your father in your but…no one is perfect.” “Oh my god you’re such a BITCH!” Din was starting to cry. Tabitha rolled her eyes. “Hey, lighten up on her.” Wooly spoke while holding Din. “She will be ok, she is my daughter after all.” Tabitha closed her eyes, a cool wind blew against her face. She knew what she had to do. “I came here to see my daughter before I have to go away for a little bit, mommy has been given an mission from High Commander Radiance. I might get into a little danger…” Tabitha smiled. “It’s going to be fun.” “Oh yes…what does High Commander Radiance want with a psycho like you?” Din asked, her eyes red from her tears. “Who are you going to hurt this time?” “Hurt?” Wooly questioned. “Stay out of it.” Neoral spoke, the Jirachi finally was getting on board. “No…I do not care who she is, no one makes my girlfriend cry.” Wooly got in front of Din, the sheep was bucking up to the older Deerling. Tabitha shifted a hoof in the snow. “You remind me of my “mate.” Tabitha chuckles. “At least the way he was before I showed him who is the boss. After a good butt whooping, he learned to put his balls away and not flaunt them everywhere. Do you want me to teach you?” Evil smirk. “I’m a great teacher, I’ll teach you real good.” “MOTHER!!” “You’ll live Din.” Tabitha pets her daughter’s boyfriend on the butt as she walks around him. Her daughter had good taste, he was a real cute one. She approved. “Come on Neoral, we’re got some road to make up.” “Alright.” Neoral floats ahead of Tabitha, that Jirachi seemed to want to say something. Tabitha looked behind her at Din and Wooly the two were talking about what just happened. Tabitha wasn’t sorry for messing around with her daughter, the Deerling needed to learn that life as the queen wasn’t rainbow and sunshine, in fact it often involved making tough decisions and dealing with more want than needs. No, she will figure it out sooner or later, just that when she did Tabitha hoped that she was the one teaching her. Din was strong minded and even more strong willed, it would take a lot to break her down. But she could be broken down. “I’m no father, but do you think that was the best way to treat your daughter?” Neoral asked as the two of them headed back near where the Jirachi lived. Tabitha didn’t feel like traveling at night and instead went into his home. “Hey! I thought we were going to travel?” “Tomorrow morning Neoral, it’s too cold to be out for a long time. I wanted to see my daughter before going.” Tabitha flops down on a cushion. “We’ll rest and, in the morning…I’m making waffles and then after that we’ll go on our epic adventure.” “Oh brother.” Neoral rolled his eyes. The look on Neoral’s face was priceless. Tabitha realized why Ruby didn’t want to stop hanging around this little cutie, he was just too much fun to miss being around. Heck she didn’t even want to give him up after this was over. Lilith Lilith took Ribbon back to her place, the Rattata finally returned home after telling her roomie that she wouldn’t be long. Heather saw her friend walk through the door looking a little happier than usual and the first thing to come out of her mouth made Lilith’s ears droop down. “Honestly Lilith, if you were going to get drunk at least bring me along.” Heather said as Lilith entered the room. The Espurr’s arms were crossed, but it wasn’t until she saw Ribbon did her expression change. “Did you get laid, or did you bring her back hoping for a threesome?” “Neither, though the second does sound very tempting.” Lilith chuckles. “Heather this is Ribbon, and Ribbon this is Heather my roommate. She can be more mellow than this when she hasn’t been waiting for a hour or two for me to come back.” Lilith brought Ribbon into her room, it was small but cozy. There was the main room itself, with two smaller rooms in the back where Lilith and Heather slept. The main room had their crystal ball with the video game set up on it still. Heather had of course gotten bored and continued playing the game, on the screen she saw that the Espurr had lost to the Rockruff player who had been giving Lilith a run for her money all day. She really hoped to figure out who he was someday just so she can duel him in reality and see if he was honestly that good in a real fight. Though as Lilith sat down to take a close look at the game, she saw a few names going up the daily rankings. “Who is Chippy?” “Over the last hour there has been this Zorua that had won a match and then came close in a few others. Though he stopped playing.” Heather brought over some tea she had made earlier and reheated. “You two look like you had a good time.” “Yes.” Ribbon spoke the Vulpix blushed. She looked at Lilith, her big red eyes scanned over the Rattata. “You friend here is very lovely.” “Not as sweet as you.” Lilith responded “Please not right here…” Heather groaned and got up. “Just remind me that I don’t have a boyfriend of my own.” “You should hang out with my friends then, I’m sure if you hang around long enough one of them will hit on you.” Ribbon suggested, the Vulpix crawled up against Lilith. Lilith brushed her paw against Ribbon’s head. “You’re so sweet Ribbon, where have you been hiding all this year?” Lilith asked. She stared into the Vulpix’s…purple eyes. “You’ll wouldn’t believe me if I told you.” Ribbon chuckles. “Try me.” Lilith kisses the pix’s head. Ribbon seemed to hesitate for a moment, but she kisses her back. “Part of me has been asleep, while the other half has been struggling with her lesbian/bisexual feelings. It’s pretty complex.” Ribbon gives an embarrassed giggle as if she was trying to keep something within her down. Lilith felt a little confused by her sudden change of attitude, almost as if she had a change of heart of even better yet personality. But maybe she was just feeling a little odd being in the company of someone else. She did just say she was struggling with her sexuality. “Are you a lesbian or bisexual?” Heather asked from across the room, the Espurr was sipping on her warm drink while reading the latest issue of Nine and Vine: Winter Edition Lunar Year. Lilith knew that Heather was bisexual at the best, but her friend was pretty much into boys. The Rattata could talk her into sometimes cuddling or even letting her go down on her, but Heather rarely if ever will return the favor. Lilith didn’t care, she loved the taste of females and preferred them over boys any day of the week. Though she was a Rattata…as such dicks being in her was nearly required. Her species loved to breed. Arceus they loved to breed… “I think…bisexual….at the minimum.” Ribbon blushed her purple eyes seemed to be trying to look away… “It’s ok…I am bi as well, nothing be ashamed of.” Lilith puts a paw on Ribbon’s face and closed her eyes before going in for a kiss. She was met by a swift return… ‘Oh Arceus…she is…wonderful kisser. It’s like I’m wrapping my tongue around something so minty and…oh…I can’t describe how her tongue feels, besides cool and lengthy…oh my…the wonderful things I bet it can do. My word it’s like she was made for being a lesbian…wait she she…is she getting on top of me?’ Lilith felt Ribbon slowly moving her onto the ground the fem was laying on top of her soon after, their hind legs were wrapped around one another. Lilith feels cold saliva dripping down her throat, a icy chill could be felt sliding down her throat. She felt her tongue being pushed back into her mouth as the Vulpix was starting to dominate her. The Rattata blushed as she didn’t mind this at all, granted she was going to return the favor soon enough, but…why stop the ride when it was just getting to the good part. Lilith ran her paws along the pix’s back, her soft fur felt good in between her digits. ‘This girl…oh my…’ Lilith giggles. “I wanted to play video games.” Heather could be heard getting up. Lilith managed to break away from their kiss long enough to speak to her friend. “I left your candy on the counter.” “If you two get loud, please use the gag balls.” Lilith heard the crinkling sound of Heather grabbing her snacks and then the door to her room close shut. Lilith felt Ribbon sucking her neck in between kisses, the Vulpix oddly enough was showing a lot more passion and experience than the Rattata expected from someone like her. At first, she looked like very innocent looking pix, maybe some experience but nothing mind blowing or worth writing home about. But this…this felt like someone who had a lot of experience in pleasing another female or at least at least getting their mouth dirty. “Oh Ribbon…where did you learn to be so passionate from?” Lilith asked, the rodent’s eyes were seemly glowing. “A little something, I picked up along the way. I wanted to learn to please my girlfriend.” Ribbon spoke, her eyes… ‘Their red again…no…no…impossible…they were red…always red…your seeing things Lilith.’ “Girlfriend?” Lilith asked. “Her name is Amber and we…we’re on a break right now.” Ribbon got up from Lilith, though she kept a paw on the crouch. Lilith gulped as she sits up. “It’s complicated but just as we went on break some things happened and…some things that made me question my sexuality. It involved a boy…” She blushed. “And to make a long story short it ended up causing some friction between us and we decided to take a break. That and she got into contest battles and started seeing a Pachirisu boy…” Ribbon rolls her eyes. Something odd caught her attention… ‘Blue…her eyes are blue….’ Lilith had to rub her eyes this time to be sure. But when she stopped the Rattata saw that they were… ‘Purple???’ “Sweetie…Ribbon…” Lilith clears her throat. “Before we get any hotter and heavier, can you please explain to me why your eyes keep changing colors?” “My eyes…oh…I didn’t know that they were changing that much.” The Vulpix blew a small sheet of eyes onto the ground near them and stared into it. Her ears twitched a few times as if she was listening to something…though Lilith didn’t pick up the sound of anything. The pix seemly shake her head as if agreeing to something and then smiles. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.” “What…” Lilith squeaks. Ribbon attitude…her demeanor seemed to have shifted all at once. Her eyes…they were solidly purple now… ‘Oh Lilith…what have you gotten yourself into this time?’
