Half Way Home
(July 21, 2013, 6:45pm: Chicago, IL)The next two hours passed uneventfully as they pulled off the interstate onto the narrow city streets. After what seemed like an hour they pulled into a small parking lot beside a large three story redstone apartment building. Daisy followed Cecily as she was led to the larger parking area behind the building.After she pulled the large truck and trailer across several parking spaces at the far end of the parking lot and dismounted. Lilly walked to the passenger side of the charger and talked into the window at the badger and mouse. A moment later she walked back to the Jeep and moose. "OKay Daisy, you're following me to a storage lot where we will drop your trailer and the U-haul, the we're coming back. the rules say we can't leave these in the lot overnight." Then walked back to the truck without waiting for a response and started to pull away. Daisy followed the liger for the short ride and into the gated storage lot. After dropping the trailer off the jeep, Lilly climbed into the passenger seat. "Back to the house Jeeves," the liger said as she slumped in the seat. "I'm sorry If I'm pushing you, I just wanted to get his stubborn ass off the road.""It's okay Lilly, he looked pretty rough back there, but there weren't any signals from Sisy so I guess he's doing okay so far. Let's get back and check on both of them," the moose said as she pulled out of the gated storage area.Daisy saw a smile on the ligers muzzle from the corner of her eye as Lilly said, "He should be feeling fine now. The spiked coffee should have run down after about an hour on the road."As the ligers words rang in her ears a broad grin spread across the mooses muzzle as she glanced over at the woman in the seat beside her for a brief moment. "That was a little bit evil Lilly, a stroke of genius, but still...""Are you questioning my methods of taking care of those around me?" Lilly asked as she looked over at Daisy."Questioning them? No, not in a million years... hope you don't mind if I take notes though," she added as the grin on her face widened.Lilly gave a quick snicker as she relaxed and slid down in
the seat a bit, "Take all the notes you want, there is more to being a crazy like than just knowing what I do.""Point taken," the moose responded, "but the method can be enough to know if the target trusts you already. There is still someone that I may have to deal with at some point myself if he doesn't get his shit together, or if he fucks up again.""A 22 to the thigh works fine in most of those cases," She said with a little smile, "small entry wound, usually not enough force to make an exit wound. Not that big of a mess to clean up, just a lot of screaming." She chucked as she added, "I could just see it now, 'Oh my God, she shot me.' It gets the point across.""I hope it never comes to that, but it's good to know in case it does. He wasn't always such an asshat... I guess that's what makes it so hard to believe he would do, and say the things he did. I'm just glad that Ralph is out of his reach, and mom is taking charge of getting Paul the help he needs. Thanks Lilly, call it whatever you want, hero complex or craziness, but thanks either way... for giving a damn." Daisy paused a moment to consider her next statement carefully, "for caring about Sisy enough to get her out of the system that failed her, and me away from the father that failed me, and my brothers, when we needed him the most."Lilly closed her eyes as they drove back to the apartment complex. "He didn't fail, not yet. He was just living in the delusion of having a perfect family, and when that shattered he reacted the way most men do. He miss stepped, he tried to restore the delusion instead of accept the reality. He'll come around, it just might take him a while.""I hope he does, for everyones sake." Daisy sat quietly as they drove back to the apartment. As they pulled into the rear parking lot again she turned to the Liger as she turned off the jeeps ignition. "Lilly, do you really think my dad will figure it out? Before he pushes all of us so far away that we may never go back?"As the liger got out of the jeep she said, "It's not just him that has pride issues girl. Learn from his mistakes and just do the right thing. And when he does come around It's your job to make sure that everyone else does also." She turned and started walking to the building as she said, "Now get your ass moving. We're going to see how a ghetto eagle lives after she makes it to the other side of the tracks."Following the liger into the apartment building Daisy thought about what she had said, knowing that the woman's comment about pride issues was aimed at her. She had let her pride get in the way on too many things recently. Putting those thoughts aside for now, she put a happier expression on her face as she entered the door. She had a special little lady in this building that deserved her undivided attention after the trip halfway across the country in a single day. That was her priority right now, making sure her girlfriend, and the older badger were okay and being there when to small mouse needed her.As the pair approached the third floor apartment The small mouse stepped out into the hallway and ran down the hall then halted as she looked between the two as if suddenly confused on her target. After a moment she ran to the Liger and jumped to chest height. "I missed you two," the small kangaroo mouse said as Lilly wrapped her arms around her in mid air."Okay, We're here now. How is the old man?" Lilly asked as she leaned the mouse away from her.Cecily looked at the liger and replied, "He fell asleep on the couch, even though I told him to go to the bed.""Well then, looks like I might have to kick his ass," Lilly said with a smile on her face as she sat the mouse back on her paws.Daisy snickered at the ligers comment, thinking the badgers extra special coffee may have had a bit more mite then she was led to believe. Looking down at her girlfriend she smiled and asked, "everything else okay trail mix?" Cecily looked up at her girlfriend, eyes wide as she said, "You'll want to take your shoes off before you walk in."The small mouse opened the door when the trio arrives, revealed within was an immaculate carpet that looked like a fluffy layer of fresh white snow on the floor. A small collection of shoes were left in small bench with compartments underneath the seat for each pair. Just inside the door and in front of the small bench was a thick, coarse, black 'welcome' mat. Cecily trotted barfoot past the small entry way into the room beyond.Lilly looked sat on the bench and took off her heavy boots as she shook her head and said, "I
have no Idea what this girl is like when no one is watching," before she stood up, left the bench for the moose, and walked into the next room.Daisy followed suit as she removed her shoes, but stopped, awestruck by the room beyond. The multi function room was filled with what looked like maple constructed table and bookshelves. All the furniture was the same white of the carpet. She stood for a moment as she contemplated the effort the eagle much have gone through to keep the place as so pristine. The small breakfast area kitchen was the same maple furnishing with the table still neatly set for the one occupant. the shelves were filled with law volumes and a small collection romance novels. the room was devoid of any other form of entertainment beyond the books. The place reminded her of the model apartment she had seen when Debbie and her had looked at apartments when the thought about getting a place together, too clean to be lived in.Lilly dropped into a chair as she said, "Almost makes you scared to sit down. I don't know what all stays and what goes. But we have a week to figure that out." She pulled the throw pillow from behind her and tossed it at the badger on the couch as she shouted, "Get the fuck up Old man. People need to sit down. take it to the room if you want to sleep."Detlev groaned as he sat up. "Zee girls chould get zee bed."Lilly looked over at Daisy, scrunched her brow, and jerked her head toward the badger."Oh no you don't general, don't even try that gallant gentleman crap with me. I'll be fine anywhere, as soon as I find a spot that doesn't look like a snow drift," she said as she looked around the room again. "You're the one that should be in that bed, not us, after that drive I could probably sleep standing up in a corner and be happy about it. Besides, you're outnumbered three to one and you need to rest. Or maybe you would rather stay out here and listen to girl talk half the night?""Vell zen," he looked around at the three ladies, 'I have two zat can just carry me to where they vant me, and one zat vill just give me zat look you can't turn down. I guess I don't have a choice here, do I?""Nope, now get your ass moving before I have to drug you again," Lilly said as she pointed down the short hallway that led out of the big room.Reluctantly the old badger groaned as he stood up and walked down the hall. He said, over his shoulder, "I vill get you back for zat one Lilly.""Whatever you say old man. You still own me for the last few times," Lilly rebutted with a smile. She looked over at the moose, "So which snow drift do you want?"Cecily looked at the two, "There are some blankets and stuff in the hall closet. We can just make up a spot to sleep on the floor.""Now that, sounds like the safest idea I've heard yet Sisy, I mean sheeesh, I'm almost afraid to even touch this stuff, it's all just so... white," the moose said as she gestured to the room with her paw, "it's like being in a showcase apartment, you're afraid to touch anything because you might get it dirty.""Don't worry about it too much mouse bait, we have a week to figure out how she keeps it this clean, and we're moving everything you in the next day or two so that we can..." She looked around for a moment, 'Who the fuck am i kidding? the only mess we will be cleaning up here is our own. I knew she was a neat freak, but oh my fucking God, What the fuck is up with the white? it's almost like the kept the place under a sheet."As the two commented on the extreme choice in the eagles decor, Cecily walked down the hall and returned a short time later with a selection of white blankets and comforters that did nothing to ease the issue. "I think all we can do is get comfortable and worry about it all later."Taking part of the linens from the small mouse Daisy made a pallet on the floor away from anything she might bump into as she slept, stripping down to her bra and panties before crawling under a thick stark white comforter to cover herself. Lifting the edge of the snowy white cover she looked at the mouse, "so with me or with Lilly, your choice sweet cheeks."Lilly took a sheet from the mouse and draped it over the couch before she dropped onto it. She looked at the mouse and said, "before you crawl where ever you want toss me one of those smut books over there."Cecily giggled as she dropped the remainder of the linens by the coach, went over to the bookshelf, pulled a random small book from
the selection and returned it to Lilly. She looked over at her girlfriend under the pile of white and went over to crawl in with her. Once she was under the concealment of the blankets and close to her lover she started to slip out of the t-shirt and shorts she wore, leaving only her sports bra and panties. She wiggled her body close to the moose as her small paws ran through the thick fur. She pressed her ear against her lover's chest as she whispered, "There was a choice? I'm not giving up my cuddly moose.""Sisy honey, there will always be that choice, even as much as I love you sweet cheeks, I won't ever try to come between you and your mother. Come on sweet thing," she said as she wrapped her arm over the small mouse holding her firmly against her chest as she snuggled into the soft comforters and her lovers warm, soft body,"let's get some sleep, you know she's gonna get us up at the asscrack of dawn to get started.""You don't know Lilly. She now has only one thing to do and a week to do it." Cecily snuggled into the thick soft fur of her girlfriend. "I'll put five dollars on a TV and console set up by the morning." She rolled over, pressed her back into the moose, and pulled her girlfriend's paws to rest on her belly. "Daisy," She whispered to the moose behind her, "I love you."Nuzzling against the mouse's cheek Daisy whispered into her ear, "I love you too, Sisy."(July 21, 2013, 9:15pm: Alex's Apartment)Lilliana listened to the heavy breathing of the sleeping couple and the older badger that came from down the hall. She felt bad about having had tricked Detlev into not driving the last leg of the trip to Chicago. When they had pulled over in Rock Creek she had seen the exhaustion in his eyes and could tell he had not slept well the night before. He had insisted that a quick power nap would be all he needed to make it the rest of the way. The method she used was what really worried her. When they had stopped at the truckstop she spent the time making a deal with one of the truckers for some meth. She diluted the narcotic in water and added a small dose to his coffee to increase his heartrate enough that he might believe he was possibly experiencing or approaching a stroke. She dreaded the simple trick might trigger a real heart attack if she was not careful. The fact that Daisy had offered to let Cecily drive the Charger gave her a little more comfort than the hermaphrodite knew. It took all of her willpower to not pull over repeatedly to check on the old man as they
moved. When they had finally arrived at their destination the look in his eyes and the fact that he was no longer anxious set her worries to rest. She took the time to look around Alex's apartment now that she was alone. The place was a bit more extreme than she thought it would be. Alex had always had a hangup on the cleanliness of where she lived and spent her time alone. She believed it was part of her coping mechanisms that she developed to deal with the environment in which the eagle had grown up. This apartment was more to a point of OCD than a simple coping mechanism. Every aspect of the apartment, from the polished silver of the lighting fixture matching the forests and polished steel of the kitchen appliances to the simple matching style of every piece of maple furniture, screamed obsession. As she rummaged through the hall closet she found nothing but the stark bleached white she expected after seeing the main room. Not one item in the house had a drop of color to include the single set of plain white plates and silver flatware that was to only thing in the apartment to eat off of. the sight worried her about how well Alex would do once again living with others. She pushed the thoughts from her mind as she rummaged through the kitchen cabinets to find little more than a wide selection of pots and pans to cook in. the selection of cooking implements filled the cabinets to the extent that there was no room left to store any food. The fridge was as sparsely stocked as Susan's had been. It was obvious that both women only kept enough on hand to last one day and would have to purchase the food for the evening and next morning each day. Lilly understood why Susan had done that, with her habit of driving out to check on hank at any given time, But Alex's reasoning was beyond her. At this point it was clear that she would need to stock up for at least the next few days. Cecily seemed to be calmed by cooking, but Lilly was uncertain just what all the little mouse was able to make. She thought about that day the young mouse did cook, she made scrambled eggs. The liger took account of the minimum ingredients needed to make that meal for the four of them. With the long ride and road food, the group should atleast have a good breakfast for their stay at Alex's apartment. According to the plan they would stay there seven days before they headed on to their final destination. Eating well and resting for the group was her primary concern. She pulled the pocket watch out and checked the time. She hated the thought of shopping at the late hour, but she did not want the small mouse or her
girlfriend to wake up without what was needed for a meal. She snapped the watch shut and replaced it in her pocket as she grabbed a set of keys and walked out of the apartment and locked the door behind her.(July 21, 2013, 10:15pm: Alex's Apartment)Cecily had spent the past hour listening to the sounds of Lilliana go through the apartment. She had taken the time to do the same thing once Detlev had dozed off. She had found the place comforting and controlled. As she looked around earlier she saw the painstaking effort that her new self proclaimed sister had put into the maintenance of the small apartment. This was the eagle's sanctuary, the place she had control of everything, the one thing the small kangaroo mouse still lacked in her own life. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the apartment door as it was closed and locked. the sound must have registered in her lover's ears as the moose let out a deep breath and her paw twitched on the mouse's belly and pulled her tighter as if she was some sort of stuffed animal or security blanket. Cecily smiled as she reveled in the sensation of being crushed against the soft, warm, thick fur of her girlfriend. The sudden feel of the rigid member as it poked at her made her mind shift to run through the events of the past week. The hermaphrodite girl had come into her life like a landslide, a fast, uncontrolled rollercoaster of emotion. In the short time they had been together Cecily had ran the gamut of everything she knew, and more. As the moose had admitted some days ago, one of Cecily's first reactions was lust. She had no idea why she was so drawn to the girl physically. The Moose was so much larger than her in every way imaginable. But as with everything in her life, that feeling was forced out by the ever present fear, only to be replaced by awe as she watched her deal with her younger brother, and show interest in her. From that time she had ran through sensations of longing, fear, loneliness, abandonment, joy, ecstasy, and a love like nothing she had ever experienced before. She knew the love she had found with Lilly and the others, she could not imagine life without any of them. Just the call of Susan in the hospital and the thought of Detlev not being well sent her into an almost panic. But, What she felt with Daisy was more. Just the thought of her not being within reach sent shivers through her spine. She knew that her new lover could not always be with her every waking moment, but she still loathed every second they were
apart. that time was often filled with the thoughts of being with the moose again. Those thoughts seemed to be enough to push the sense of abandonment to the back of her mind, and gave her just a little more drive to push on to the moment she would be in the moose's arms again.As her mind ran through her time and feelings for the hermaphrodite for possibly the millionth time, her attention was grabbed again as the sound of the larger girl softly moaned her name and gently rolled her hips in her sleep. Cecily smiled at the nocturnal needs her lover had for her. She knew that the moose had walked away from a promiscuous life when they had both fallen in love with each other, she could only imagine what her girlfriend might be dreaming about. Her own desire was ignited by the images that ran through her head of the things they had done together. She had pushed so many of her own boundaries with her girlfriend, but she knew she still had a long way to go, and so many things in her life that she would only be able to deal with when they were happening. She just hoped Daisy would be there with her when those dreams reared their heads.She was pulled into the moose's movements again as the large paw unconsciously moved to fondle her small breasts. Cecily bit her lip to hold back a small moan, as she tried to not wake her lover from her apparent erotic dream. Gently she lifted the paw from her as she slowly rolled away under the thick mountain of blankets. The utter darkness within their makeshift burrow concealed everything from her. As she rolled to face the invisible heat source, her paws reached forward into the thick fur. Slowly she moved them across the deeply breathing form, as if exploring an entirely new world. Her wrist and forearm brushed against the steely shaft as she moved south toward the source of her lovers need. She shivered as she remembered the sensation of being filled with only a portion of the engorged shaft. She leaned her face forward and breathed in the scent of her lover as her small tongue extended into the darkness to find the salty flesh. She felt the shiver and slight thrust of her lovers hips as the small moist muscle was dragged along the needy rod. The movement of her lover at her own activities drove her farther into her own desire. She used all the will power she could muster to pull herself away from her lover and crawl from their cocoon of warm love and lust. She scurried across the room filled with air so much colder than the heat from which she had just emerged. She dropped next to her backpack and rummaged through for the small silver packages she had collected from the her girlfriend's room before they had left. As she retrieved one, she
rushed back to the fluffy white pile that hid her lover from view. She burrowed into the stack toward the heat and her hidden treasure. She grinned broadly into the darkness as her paws met the stiff erection that pulsed with her contact. Her desire to be as close to her lover as she could at that moment drove her mad. she wanted more than to just feel and rub with her paws, she wanted to her pressed into the thick fur. She wanted the large paws to roam her own body. She worked hard to move as quietly as she could and disturb the heavy pile as little as possible, not wanting to wake her lover as she took advantage of her slumbering lust. She rolled back into her place, spooned against her lover, as she maneuvered her body between the moose's belly and hard cock. As she slowly slipped between the member and it's owner she lifted it to place her legs on either side of the foot long shaft. She was overcome by her own needs as she rubbed her cleft down the length of her lover. Her tongue darted out and across the tip of the large rod as her nethers bumped against the base. She pulled her tongue back as she put the small silver package in her teeth. She wrapper her arms around the hot, hard member as she pulled it against her soft velvety fur, the tp came to rest just between her modest breasts while her paws roamed the underside of the member. She nearly squeaked as the thing jumped within her grasp. a mild fear rolled through her as she tore the small package open. She understood the need Alex had for keeping things clean and orderly, and she did not want to disturb that, even though the eagle was not there. She pulled the rolled latex sleeve out of the foil package With one paw she pinched an ample pocket into the tip before she used her other paw and arm to roll the remainder down her lovers rock hard pole. With each stroke of her paw against the latex as it covered the needy shaft was rewarded with a gentle thrust from Daisy's hips, each time she felt the base bump against her own hungry nethers. She could feel the moose begin to pant with desire and lust behind her body. She relished the the sensation of her lovers now racing heart as it pounded through the larger body and into hers. She wrapped her arms around the shaft again, now separated from the salty flesh by the fabricated carryer. She rolled her hips against the base and spread her labia as the fabric of her panties were pressed against her wet inner lips and aching nub as it eagerly peaked from under its fleshy hood. She listened to her lover's breathing become operative as she ran her paws the length of the thick vein and sensitive underside of her lover's member. Daisy's lustdriven dream was only spurred on by the small mouse's ministrations. Cecily moaned softly as the moose gradually thrusted harder
and faster into her embrace. Her ears were rewarded with the sound of the panting and moaning of her heart's desire as her own needs burned into her cunny. She rolled her pelvis against the small portion of the shaft between her legs. her need drove her to pull the crotch of her pantis away from her cleft as her one paw and nimble fingers moved across her own treasures and aching clit. Just as her fingers dove into her wet, hungry passage she felt the surge run through her lovers rod, followed by several hard thrusts of the moose's hips. She opened her eyes wide into the darkness as she heard the thick ropes of her lovers seed spray against the confining sleeve that wrapped the throbbing shaft. She pulled her paw from herself to bring it back to it's mate and held her lover's surging member tightly against her chest. She gently squeezed and milked the pulsating tool as it filled the pocket she left in the condom for her lover's release. She bit her lip to hold back a shocked squeak as Daisy suddenly wrapped her arms around the small mouse as she held. She held her breath as she listened to her lover pant into the heat of their small hot love nest.She closed her eyes and the hot paws of her lover crushed her tiny body into the heaving fur of the moose's chest. She sighed as the heat radiated through her body. She loved the feel of the thick, soft fur against her short velvet. She soaked in the non-sexual ecstasy that was forced on her as she finished pleasuring her girlfriend. Her arms moved from the now softening member to the strong arms that held her tight. At that moment she wished time would hold still forever. Even without satisfying her own needs, she was more content in her lover's arms than anywhere else she could think of. She moaned Daisy's name softly as she rolled her muzzle into the soft fur of her girlfriends arm as she lay happier than she could ever remember.(July 21, 2013, 11:45pm: Alex's Apartment)As Lillyana shut the door behind her the scent of arousal hit her. She held her breath as the slowing panting faded into the darkness. She smiled softly as her eyes fell on the large pile of linens on the floor. She whispered to herself, "I'm not sure weather to be upset or happy that she found someone she feels safe with." After she kicked off her boots she carried the few bags into the kitchen and put the selection of fresh meat and vegetables into the fridge. She had gotten enough to hopefully feed the group after they all woke up. She still had no idea how much Daisy would eat, but there should still be plenty for her to last at least until they could get a full
selection of food. She took the time to walk to the back room and check on the general. The old badger had taken all the linens off the bed and neatly folded and stacked them on the foot before he draped his shirt over himself and went to sleep. Lilly shook her head as she saw the old man was just as frightened to soil the strange visual winter as the moose was. She took hold of the thick comforter at the end of the bed and covered him with it as he slept. She froze for a moment as he groaned. She relaxed again as he rolled onto his side under the new warmth.She soon returned to the main room of the apartment to hear the return of the heavy breathing of sleep as it emanated from the odd linen burrow that daisy made for her tiny mouse. She smiled and shook her head again as she watched the bodies shift under the pile. She pulled out her phone and snapped a picture of the nest that concealed the couple. She was still amazed at how quickly Cecily had latched onto the moose. She was more open and visually happier just in the presence of the new found girlfriend. She hoped that the change would last, even if the moose fell out of the picture. She frowned deeply as she dropped into the chair with the image of the mouse when cecily hear that daisy had run away. That moment had angered her to the point of rage. If it had been a month earlier she might not have handled the situation the same way, but she was glad she had. She looked back on the past two months and all the changes that had come. She had no idea that looking for a new life would bring about such dramatic events. She had walked away from a successful career that was moving forward and had promised to make her more money that she would ever need. She had that need within her for a new challenge and nothing she could find in IT would give her that. She turned to one of her stupid childhood dreams of being a teacher. the new career would not provide for her the way that the contracting did, but she really didn't care about that, she needed the change.Not even a full day after leaving her old life, this small damaged mouse seemed to fall out of the sky and into her arms. The kangaroo mouse's story filled her with sorrow and rage as she read through the case files all those weeks ago. Now she had the little girl and pulled her, nearly kicking and screaming into the ligers new life., only to have more unplanned chaos spring in at every turn.Lily smiled as she thought about all the good and bad things that came about just because she couldn't
leave the child where she found her. Now she had stolen another teen from her troubles because the mouse had some how fallen into them with the moose. Even as she thought about what had happened the uncertain future loomed before them. The excitement and joy ran through her core in shivered shocks. She had unwittingly found just what she wanted, a challenge that would never leave her with any idea of what would happen next. The fact that her old unit friends had jumped into the insanity with her warmed her heart even more. In the few weeks that had passed after each met Cecily had show significant changes and healing within each of them. She laid her head back as she thought about the surprises to come for all of them as they ventured into this new world together. Finally, what was left of her team, her trusted comrades, had reunited and was once again growing into a strong, driven group with a purpose.
