《Mutant Trouble》


 Prologue

    As I fell on the ground, flashbacks of my life resounded inside of my head. The first time I went to school, the day I graduated, my first day on the job, when I won a small local lottery... All sorts of events and memories flashed, seconds seemed hours...


    There was a terrorist attack today. I was working in my office when I began to hear explosions. I didn''t panick, but it was still quite scary. I ran down from the emercency exit along with many other fellow co-workers, but, alas, it was not meant to be. I saw a man running towards us, and he had bombs stripped all around him.


    Many people ran away, and I ended up trampled down by the crowd. The man finally reached us and exploded. I didn''t die immediately, but I still was caught inside of the explosion. I was blinded and bleeding everywhere, I knew I wasn''t going to survive this. Luckily, I didn''t have many regrets at least, I was never an amazing person and I didn''t have anyone I love. My biological parents had abandoned me in an orphanage, and I never met them.


    As I waited for death to arrive, I suddently felt all of my pain vanish. I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn''t do so no matter how hard I tried. I felt like I was floating in water, yet I wasn''t drowning. It was truly a weird feeling...


    ''Is this what death feels like?'' I mused myself at the thought. I was never one to believe in god or any religion for that case, but this was quite strange.


    I don''t know how long I stayed in this place, sometimes I would fall asleep and other times stay up for a while so I can''t tell for sure. Days passed spent in this prison, and I have to admit that this is extremely boring. I tried moving around, and I felt myself hit something. I kept hitting and trying to break free, but to no avail.


    I soon got tired from kicking and fell back asleep. I probably slept for quite some time, but when I woke up I felt myself being pulled and pushed. It hurt like crazy but thankfully, after about 10 minutes I felt myself be freed. The light was hurting my eyes, and I couldn''t keep them open.


    "Haaa... Fuck that hurt..." I heard a voice say. I tried to turn my head but I found myself completely stuck, no, I simply was too weak to do so. "Mistress, it''s a girl! And a lovely one too!"This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.


    As soon as I heard that, everything clicked in my mind. The floating sensation, my weakness, the light that hurt my eyes. I was reborn for fuck''s sake! That''s quite cool, but I seriously don''t want to start over my childhood, since my first one was bad enough...


    As I was thinking such things, the voices continued conversing. "Eh? Why is the baby not crying? Aren''t they supposed to cry?" A deep masculine voice said, which I assumed to be my father. Also, why am I able to understand them? Are they seriously speaking english?


    "Shut up Asu, of course my child wouldn''t cry~. Gimme! I wanna see her~!" A feminine voice said from behind me. I felt myself be picked up by someone else, and I tried to open my eyes. The girl that I think is supposed to be my mother was... strange. She looked no older then 17, had red eyes that almost seemed to shine and... cat... ears...


    "Oh my god!! She''s so cute~!" The girl said and hugged me close to her. Also, I''m a boy, so why do they keep referring to me as a girl?!


    The girl continued to hug me and rub me on her. I began to cry a bit, since it wouldn''t be good if I don''t act like a proper baby.


    "Misssstress, we''re going to leave you alone fffor now." A strange voice that sounded a lot like what the snakes on animes sound like said. I felt myself be wrapped around something and then picked up. I stopped crying and took a look around, and I have to admit that this wasn''t exactly the place where babies are supposed to be born.


    There were 4 people around us, and we were in a strangely medieval-like room, since everything was made of stones and I couldn''t see anything resembling modern-day objects. The room was richly decorated by paintings, statues and vases. There were 3 male adults and one woman standing around me and my supposed mother, and they were all gigantic. If I compared them to my mother, even thought I''m a baby I could easily compare them to my mother, so I determined they must be at least 3 meters tall. The woman was also tall, but not as tall as the men.


    "Ahh... My waist hurts... Stupid childbirth... I knew I should have torn myself apart rather then this... I can''t even regenerate like this... Hehehe, no matter~!" My mom said and began to cuddle me in her arms. Regeneration? Really now? Also, is my mother a masochist or something...?


    I glanced at the three men and the woman, but they were nowhere to be seen. I felt myself be pushed onto my mom''s breasts, and I instintively started to suck. Hey, even if I am a grown man, I''m a baby right now, for as strange as that might be.


    After 5 or so minutes of sucking, I fell asleep. Way too much happened, between being killed in a rather painful way, suddently being born and having a cat-girl mother and all the rest, my mind felt like it was going to explode...

 Chapter 1

    Since my birth, two years have passed. I spent most of my time trying to crawl around and secretly learning how to speak again. My mother is away most of the time, so I¡¯m often stuck with two two giants whose names I learned are Ishtar and Shay. They follow me everywhere and they always bicker with each other, although whenever mom¡¯s around they shut up completely.


    We live in a castle-like mansion in the middle of a modern city for some reason, and although I never learnt what kind of job she does, based on the amount of money our family has I concluded she must work in the government or something.


    When I was one years old I finally spoke my first word, my mom had just come back from god knows what she does and everyone in the mansion was welcoming her return. I crawled to her and pulled a bit at her dress, which made her look at me with a curious look. I returned a smile and said ¡°Mommy!¡±


    She shrieked, and I was almost hugged to death that day. I didn¡¯t speak much after that, but when it was needed I did.


    About myself, it didn¡¯t take more then a couple days to realize that I had lost my bird¡­ He¡¯s dead¡­ But apart from that (totally not running away from reality), I inherited mom¡¯s cat ears and when I once looked into a mirror, my eyes were slitted like those of a snake and shined a deep blue color. My hair was extremely black like my ears as well.


    Well, almost three years had passed now, and I could already walk, well, sort of walk. I could also speak almost complete sentences, which impressed quite a number of the servants in the mansion. About those servants, they all treat my mother and me with extreme respect, and I once heard them competing about who was going to change my diapers which was¡­ kind of creepy¡­ There is an equal number of maids and butlers for as far as I can tell, which is quite unusual in my not-so professional opinion.


    I was walking around the mansion with Ishtar and Shay trailing behind me. Those two are the perfect replica of your stereotypical bodyguard. They¡¯re two giants full of muscles, wearing black modern suits with sunglasses and a black fedora.


    As I entered my mother¡¯s room, I found her laying on her bed with a book in her hands. Whenever she¡¯s not out for work or playing with me, she likes to read books. She gave a quick glance at me and smiled.


    ¡°You two retards can leave for now~. Come here Ari~!¡± Yup, apparently my name is Arianna Bloodseeker, which sounds quite menacing, but what can I do about it?


    I run up to her and jump in her arms. She catches me and swings me around whilst laughing a bit, she then puts me down on her lap and takes out a book from god knows where, it¡¯s as if it suddenly appeared, but I¡¯ve long gotten used to these sort of things¡­


    ¡°Do you want to read ¡®The Hero and the Demon¡¯?¡± I nod at her and she begins to read me the story whilst sometimes petting my catlike ears.The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    I soon fall asleep and when I woke up I was still in mom¡¯s arms. She was sleeping on the bed. Whilst someone might say I should be ashamed as a former male to sleep near a girl, I¡¯m a baby! Also, she¡¯s my mother! Thought she doesn¡¯t look like she would be a mother at all¡­ She¡¯s rather small in physique and she doesn¡¯t look older then 17.


    I struggle a bit in her arms and she wakes up. ¡°Ari~! Don¡¯t wake me up like this~! Ah! Don¡¯t pout like that!! You¡¯re dangerously cute!¡± She says as I pout and she pokes my cheeks a bit.


    ¡°Mom, can we go visit the city!¡± I say with upturned eyes. She looks a bit reluctant at first, but she smiles awkwardly when she sees my smile. ¡°Uh¡­ No¡­ Oh come on, stop playing dirty¡­ Fine~! You win! We¡¯re going! I wanted to visit a couple dress shops anyways¡­¡± She says and she begins to look up with a smile that sends chills down my spine. No! I¡¯m not ready to become a doll! My male pride won¡¯t allow it!


    Soon enough, after my mom had thoroughly washed me in water, which for some reason completely scared the living shit out of me and then dressed me up in baby clothes, she finally took me out of the mansion for the first time.


    We left from the main door. There was a giant garden full of all kinds of trees, flowers, plants and there were even some tigers and wolves lying around. I was a bit scared when I saw them, but mom seemed to ignore them and dragged me by my hand. We walked down the road and soon we came upon a giant gate that seemed straight out of the medieval periods.


    Mom casually walked up to it and the gate opened by themselves, which left me with open jaws. She looked at me and giggled, before closing my jaws with her free hand.


    When we exited from the gates, I took a good look around. I could see that this indeed was a modern world, since there were cars everywhere, people on cell phones and the buildings seemed modern.


    When we went a bit further from the gates, they closed by themselves. I looked around and noticed several people looking at us with mixed looks, some fear, respect, awe, lust or greed.


    We spent the rest of the day walking around the city and shop-jumping. Mom bought me a cell phone but strictly forbid me from using it until she says otherwise. Shame¡­


    As we keep on walking around, I could see people gathering around us and thanks to my enhanced hearing due to my ears, I could hear their whispers.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that the Bloodseeker Lord?¡± ¡°She came out of the castle?¡± ¡°That must be her daughter!¡± Or other weird comments. Some people even ran away when they saw us, whilst others tried to talk to mom. She simply ignored them though. As I thought, mom is quite the important person¡­


    After a total of 6 hours, the sun was 3/4 the way in the sky, and I could barely stand. Mom had tried out so many outfits on the poor almost-3 years old me that I lost count after a hundred. Mom picked me up whilst whistling around and began to walk with me back home. Halfway through, though, a couple of guys came over and tried to chat with mom and even me.


    They kept asking for things like what to visit, where to go, what to eat or where they can find hotels. They said they were from¡­ Japan¡­ I kind of felt like my heart was about to burst out in happiness, really? Japan is still here?


    At one point though, one of the guys asked ¡°Can I touch your ears?¡±


    The atmosphere instantly became cold, and mom had a frozen smile on her face. She casually answered ¡°Ah~, well, you do know cats consider ears a turn-on point, right~? And yes, I am shameless~.¡± The guys all got red faces, and I giggled a bit at her response, only to realize what I was doing. Shouldn¡¯t I feel ashamed as well?


    Mom dragged me all the way back to the castle, and again, the doors opened and closed automatically. She brought me back to my bedroom and put me on the bed. We read stories for another hour before I fell asleep once again. Despite everything, I have to admit that I quite like this new life.
