Chapter #6A dragon's greatest treasure by: cheese111   Scurrying all over the expansive cave were men. It didn't take Matt long to notice some eerie similarities. Each of them seemed to have the same shaggy haircut he does. They all also wore roughly similar outfits. Was that why Emily insisted on him wearing this? The red dragon beamed with joy upon looking at her collection. It was always a good day when she found more souls to add to it. Emily loudly cleared her throat, causing all the men in the cave to freeze in their tracks and turn their attention to her.
"I'm back everyone, and I've got another boyfriend to help you all."
Some forced cheering and a lot of murmuring rose up from the crowd. None of them seemed particularly happy to see Matt arrive. He didn't know what was going on, but he became very nervous. Is this what she had in mind for him? Another slave to add to her hoard? He didn't have to wait long for an answer as the dragoness happily continued her speech.
"I just love this new app. It makes finding suitable boyfriends and capturing them so much easier. And since the hoard has grown so much lately, there's so many new faces around. If you've been here for a while, get back to work. For the newbies, let me explain what's going on."
About two-thirds of the men went back to whatever it was they were doing. Mostly it seemed they were busy hauling around food to prepare dinner for everyone. One massive plate of various meats, both raw and cooked, for Emily and whatever scraps were left over for them. Matt gulped as he and the other new joiners kept their attention on the towering dragon.
"It's very simple really. I expect my boyfriends to treat me like the queen I am. That means you'll do everything I say when I say it. I won't tolerate any lip from you and while we're on that subject..." She trails off as her eyes scan the cave, looking for someone in particular. She walks over to the kitchen and grabs one of them men in a large clawed hand. Her grip was murderously tight, but his crushed lungs wouldn't permit him to scream. He winced uncomfortably as she carried him back to the awestruck men.
"If you disobey me, give me attitude, piss me off or worst of all, steal from me..." Her grip tightened. Matt was sure he could hear one of the man's bones snap. Suddenly she released her grip and with a large claw tore at his tattered pants. The pockets were ripped to shreds and several glimmering ruby scales dropped out. The man tried to cry out an apology, but Emily was going to make an example out of him. She snatched him up again and brought him to her fearsome maw. Rows of razor sharp teeth glistened in the cave's light.
Emily opened wide and dropped the man on her squishy tongue. She quickly snapped her jaws shut, her victim pulling his arms on board before she would sever them in a single bite. The dragon didn't care. With or without arms, there was only one place left for this thief. She tilted her head back and with a single mighty gulp she sent him down her gullet. Matt stood there, looking horrified. His date just casually ate a man. Swallowed him whole. As the bulge traveled down her neck and disappeared into her body she looked back down at the frightened men, finally finishing her sentence. "... I will reduce you to a quick snack, if I don't feel like torturing you first. Now get back to work! Except you, Matt."
The other men quickly scurried back to their tasks, looking busier than ever to avoid becoming an example too. Emily took a step closer to her date, looming over him with a gleeful smile. She lowered her head down and stared into his eyes. Matt had no idea what horrible plans she had for him, but he needed to be careful if he ever hoped to get back home. Her hot breath washed over him as she intently watched his every jitter. "Now what should this lovely new boyfriend do for me..." She mused with a broad toothy smirk.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
