CHAPTER 484: WHO’S READY FOR COLLEGE?

Janine had just sat down on her couch. She had a beer in hand that wouldn’t remain full for long. She had exhausted herself with the packing of all her stuff. She was supposed to have help, but Apollo took her friend and left and said they would only be gone an hour... Seven hours ago.

Just as she took a sip of her beer, Her elevator dinged open and a sweet melody began humming and entered the apartment. Talia was practically floating on air. Even with how her day started, she had to say today was one of the best of her life!

Placing down the bag in her hand filled with assorted Zoo goodies, she walked over to the kitchen and opened a bottle of wine, pouring herself a drink while continuously humming before she went to the living room and sat beside her sister... Who immediately sniffed her.

"We haven’t had sex if that’s why you are asking like a hound." Talia teased, causing Janine to look at her and frown. "Where have you been? Apollo said an hour. I had to do all the packing myself. I am exhausted."

Talia placed her drink down and snuggled up next to Janine. "Sorry. I didn’t plan for this to happen, but after Apollo and I finished his... Errand. We joined some kids that Sophia’s orphanage takes care of to the zoo. After that we walked around the city holding hands! He wasn’t even embarrassed to be seen holding my hand in public! Is he not the perfect human?"

"... I like the zoo." Janine pouted at being left out causing Talia to swat her on the arm, catching Janine completely off guard. "What was that for?" She asked, causing Talia to reply. "You are about to go away with him and are getting Jealous that I had a nice simple date? Maybe he would take you on a date if he knew about your situation. Which I am serious about by the way, if you don’t tell him by the next time I see you, I will be telling him on your behalf!"

"Alright, alright. I am going to tell him at the college. I have already begun planning everything out." Talia shifted onto her knees as she leant up against Janine, ready to hear the super romance coming Apollo’s way.

"So, Maybe a week after we settle in, I..."

...

An air cab was waiting outside the building for us as a few cultists were taking my stuff to the vehicle. I rubbed my forehead to attempt to alleviate the massive headache I have from gaining a new bondage within my Mindspace.

"Honestly, it’s worse than when you first took residence, Onyx." I mumbled to myself before I felt an individual dive onto my chest, hugging me tightly. "We are going to miss you so much Apollo!" Keyla said as she began applying more force to the hug.

I assumed the ’we’ she was referencing were the other voices of past Bloodfiend hosts so to say goodbye to all of them together, I activated my Telepathy and pushed my head against hers.

’I love you very much, my little Psycho killer. Will you be my good little Bloodfiend and not commit any atrocities unless told to and be good for Sophia?’ Keyla smiled at the intimacy of having another voice that didn’t belong to the usual suspects inside of her head and leaned up to kiss me as she replied back.

’Of course my love, Anything for you(We love you! love you very much! Bloodlust sated with lust! No blood orgy?)’ We then slowly pulled back away from one another, no words further needed.

Keyla, the first cultist to ever be brought in front of the queen, who fought by my side and shared my bed as my partner. I will miss her until the next time we meet. After Keyla stepped away, A child who I have come to like very much the last few weeks walked up and hugged my leg.

She wasn’t sad like everyone else, but I could tell by her expression she liked having me around. "Thank you for being a nice person Apollo. I didn’t think I could trust men after what I have seen in the south. You are very nice and my superhero. Here, we made you a card to say goodbye!"

After taking the card from Lele, I smiled as I could tell it was handcrafted and opened it. Inside was a collection of goodbyes from the rest of the children and a veiled innuendo from Ethel which I chuckled at. There was also a picture from the Zoo with everyone who was there which I immediately tucked into my jacket pocket for safekeeping.

"Thank you Lele, that was very sweet of you. I hope you stay good for Sophia ok? She is trying her best, but if she ever seems to act a little odd, just tell her and she will try to rectify it ok?" I said while looking up and winking at Sophia.

Lele didn’t quite understand, but nodded her head and ran off to the side. I proceeded to stride forward and Kissed Sophia before either of us could say anything. The departing this time wasn’t as emotional as last time as our promise to one another still remained true.

After the kiss, I pulled back and stated. "I am not sure when I will next be here Soph, I know I will be going back to home world for my birthday, most likely, but I don’t know if I will be able to make it back here or not. I will have to check the whole situation out with the college first."

Sophia smiled and brushed my cheek with her hand. "Of course, my sweet, but you do not need to worry yourself over me. The cult and I will continue to do its best for you and the queen."

I smiled at Sophia, ’Such a good partner. I love her so much.’ I thought to myself, but my emotions must have been clear on my face as she slightly blushed. I didn’t linger too long afterwards and got in a second aircab without all my stuff inside.

Waiting for me inside were Orchid and Janine as well as. "Apollo! I am so excited to meet this techno-mechanic friend of yours! Did she really say she could speak to machines as well?" Ronnie had a beaming smile on his face. I could tell how excited he was for all of this. His initial goal was simply to attend the college so he could one day perhaps take over a production world for the hive, but this? An apprentice for an already well established techno-mechanic? He could possibly be granted an entire star system if his training goes well...

"Yes Ronnie, I have already told you before that I believe she can. She did make a joke about how obsessed she was with toasters, but later apologised to me for acting ’crazy’ . She said she was just excited to meet someone like her, who can talk to machines without training. So be warned in that department, she seems to be rather excitable."

Janine looked out of the corner of her eye at the man sitting next to her. She had seen him around before, he had a reputation of being liked by everyone, but she didn’t understand why he was so chummy with Apollo, Apollo is rarely out of sight of at least one of his women, and they don’t like having men around so she was confused how they were friends.

She let the matter slide however, She wasn’t used to new faces in ’the circle’ and just assumed she was being jealous due to her new body state. Deciding to change the subject in her mind, she smiled and asked Apollo.

"So, Apollo, how do you think the red heads are going to react to seeing you go again? Tears? Back breaking hugs? Do you think Valerica is going to kidnap you so she can fight you more?"

The smile on my face suddenly dropped... With how much Valerica loves me as her own... I wouldn’t put it out of the contention. "No, I am sure she won’t do that. The woman loves me, but she isn’t obsessed with me. The one who is obsessed with me the most is my darling sister Orchid, isn’t that right." I said and cheekily kissed her cheek.

Orchid said nothing and looked dead straight at Janine, she was playing sister mode, she had to get into the ’role’ for her time at the college. She needed practice outside of public viewing in case any kinks needed to be worked out.

I smiled at Orchid keeping her stoic expression, determined to break it later... Before turning back to Janine with a jovial expression on my face. No, she won’t do that. There will probably be a lot of hugging, kissing all over and sobbing from Valerica, but that is about it. And Kathrine..."

"Kathrine will be fine."
