Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse

A while later in the lounge...

Freya had gotten over her embarrassment after the conversation with Iris. She told everyone about the conversation after they had their dinner.

"Hhm... While there's no way I'm letting you give up eight hours of your time to her. I think it's only fair that we give her something in return for allowing you to use her powers. However, let's not discuss it now. It has been a long day that has spanned too many chapters. So we'll talk about it tomorrow. Too many things have happened today," Muku spoke after Freya told them everything.

The girls all agreed they had a really long day. So, discussing such an important matter that required a lot of thinking and consideration would be put on hold. They might not have been too tired physically, but mentally, they were spent.

And so, everyone said their good nights as they headed off to their rooms. The petty Emily ditched Elsa and went to sleep with Freya.

Her words before leaving with her pillow to Elsa were, "I refuse to sleep with a snake. Why if you bite me in my sleep. Hhmp!". Then she stormed off.

Elsa, however, easily saw through her. The real reason Emily left was because she, like the rest of them had noticed that Freya seemed a little down. So Emily didn't want her to be alone at such a time which could make her feel worse.

Knowing this, Elsa quietly let her sister go. It was one of the things she loved most about her sister after all. Emily, despite her flaws, was a pure and kind soul that cared a lot about everyone. Especially those around her.

...

In Freya's room...

"So, you left your room because you don't want to sleep with Elsa... And you want to stay here with me?" Freya asked for confirmation after Emily told her the reason why she was at her front door in the middle of the night.

Her tone when speaking to Emily had significantly gotten a lot more relaxed. Which was understandable after how much Emily had stuck close to her. It was only natural for her to quickly get used to her since the golden-eyed teen was quite charismatic when she wanted to be.

"Yes," Emily replied with a one-word answer while she nodded her head cutely. Even though Freya wasn't planning on refusing her. She wasn't sure if she could refuse such a cute face if she wanted to.

"Okay fine... But tomorrow, you must reconcile with Elsa, okay?" Freya agreed, she saw no reason to refuse the eager girl.

"Sure... For now, let's go sleep" Emily replied with a smile on her face as she walked past Freya, heading for the bed. She then jumped onto it like it was her bed. There was zero respect for something that wasn't her's in the way she acted.

Freya just looked at her with a wry expression on her face. Emily reminded her of the funny videos where one person tells their friend to "feel at home", and then the friend really gets into the role. To the point of even selling the house or kicking out the owner.

Freya didn't particularly dislike Emily's behaviour, however. She actually liked it. It showed that Emily trusted her enough to let her guard down like that.

She felt a warmness in her heart she hadn't felt for a long time. That was because, like Elsa, she had also noticed that Emily just wanted to keep her company after noticing her mood.

It reminded her of her father she hadn't seen since the apocalypse began. She was attending University when the apocalypse began. Her father should have been at work, so his fate was unknown to her.

Thinking up to that, her eyes got a bit teary. She wiped away the tears and went to join Emily with a smile on her face. It wasn't time to think about such things.

Maybe when she got a bit stronger and contributed something significant to the ground, she could ask for their help in looking for her father.

What she didn't know, however, was that even in their current situation. Where she was just a noobie who hadn't done anything yet. The team would still be willing to assist her. In their minds, just being comrades was enough for them to help. Sadly, she didn't know that yet.

Soon she and Emily were in bed. Without her noticing it, Emily got her to talk about herself. In an hour or so, Freya had told Emily about all the significant events in her life. It was like she had found the release she had been looking for even before the apocalypse began. She just wouldn't stop speaking after she started.

At the end of it, she couldn't help but start crying. Remembering everything that had happened in her life up to that point. Be it good or bad, made her quite emotional. Especially when she was unaware of her father's fate.

She only managed to stop crying another hour later. Which was only because she had fallen asleep. That too in Emily's embrace.

Emily really felt sad for this older sister of hers. While she had also gone through some stuff. At least she had Jade and others from the start. She then got Elsa, too, after a while.

On the other hand, Freya had basically had to navigate through everything alone since she didn't have friends before the apocalypse. She only became friends with Lisa a while back. So they hadn't gotten too close to each other. Which likely had something to do with their bad past as well.

After hearing everything, Emily promised herself to never let Freya feel alone again. She felt that Freya had been alone long enough. It was time for her happy ending. She then hugged Freya tighter as she also fell asleep.

And so, like that, the day finally ended... For real this time.

....

The next morning...

"Okay, there are a lot of issues we need to address before we move on. The first is Freya and Iris' matter. Without dealing with it, another important issue can't be dealt with" After they had their breakfast Muku immediately addressed the most important matter.

"Yeah, I also think that we should deal with that first. So what are the possible solutions to it? Has anyone thought of anything yet?" Emily added to what Muku said.

Hell, she even took over the conversation. After her talk with Freya the night before. She was more than eager to do anything in her power to make Freya's life easier.

The others noticed how she seemed way too enthusiastic. Freya blushed embarrassedly. The way Emily behaved made her seem like the older one, while she seemed to be the little sister. It was worse when she saw the teasing looks the others gave her.

"You seem to have an idea though. Why not tell us your idea first" Jade spoke before anyone else did as she directed her statement towards Emily.

She had known Emily long enough to know that she wouldn't be so enthusiastic if she didn't have something to say. So she thought to speed up the process.

"How presumptuous of you... However, I guess I do have something..." Emily replied, she apparently still hadn't gotten over the previous day as she rebuked Jade a little.

She then went on to tell everyone about Freya's mindscape which she had been told about the previous night. Of course, she first got Freya's permission before telling the others.

The reason she mentioned it was because Freya was able to completely restrain Iris through it. So, maybe they could use that in their favour when negotiating with Iris.

"Well... Before we get to the important matter. I have to say, what a wondrous ability you have. It's like the dream ability for anyone trying to escape reality. I'm rather jealous actually" Muku was the first to comment. He was so amazed by Freya's ability, he had to pause the important stuff.

"I agree... I'm jealous as well" Jade joined him.

Soon everyone expressed their jealousy. The whole team were impressed. While they were superhumans who could do some amazing things in real life. They couldn't do everything. So having a mindscape would be great... It would be like a virtual world in which they would be gods.

Elsa was the most salty. After all, she also wanted to interact with her fairy "personally" in her head. Just feeling the little fairy's mood and feelings wasn't enough for her. If the fairy could talk, it would have been better. Unfortunately, it couldn't.

The only positive point was that she could mostly understand what the fairy wanted to say through their soul link even without speech. Even then, entering into the scape and personally interacting with it would have been better.

As for why she didn't just summon it... She was still too weak for such a thing. From how things looked, she could only do so at Rank Two. Which was likely part of why Iris wanted to possess Freya's body. She knew she couldn't get out with her real body for a while.

Freya looked at the group oddly. They weren't the first people she had told about her ability. Others either didn't believe her or believed her then called her a freak. Interestingly, those who called her a freak were actually jealous and wanted the ability for themselves. However, she didn't know that so it hurt her when they said that.

Anyway, the way Muku and the girls reacted was new. Not only did they easily believe her, they were even looking at her with genuine eyes filled with envy. On top of that, they were admitting it to her face.

She immediately realised that she had joined a crazy group of people. At the same time, for the first time ever since she got her ability she felt at peace and at home. Even more so than at her father's house. A beautiful smile appeared on her face as happy tears started flowing out of her eyes.

She had finally found her place in the world. Her search was over...
