Cathandra and Lily (Both endings! CYOA)

The year is 2267, 250 years after The Great Saturation. Monsters and humans have finally worked out a peace agreement, and put coexistence efforts in place to get human children accustomed to life with monsters, and vice-versa.

As a result, the ruins of Cromartie High School, a former education facility for juvenile delinquents, has been restored and refitted into the world's first inter-humanoid-species school.

Today is the eighth week of your senior year in Cromontie High School. You are in the middle of your lunch period, chatting it up with your best buddy, an athletic Orc by the name of "Fruddye". Things haven't been the same for him since he left New Orc City, and constant stress from his peers has forced him into taking a vow of silence.

"So, Frud! Have you found someone for homecoming?"

He shakes his head.

"That's a shame, buddy. I'm sure you'll hook 'em in someday!"

Fruddye raises a finger, and points over your shoulder.

You turn your head and, finally take notice of the were-bat standing behind you, covering her eyes and blushing vividly. She spits out a couple of muttered words.

"H-hey... H-homecoming..."

--------------------------

"Yeah? What about it?"

"I... you..."

"Are you trying to ask me-"

"Y-yes!"

"Sure."

After taking a moment to process your response, she lets out an ear-piercing screech, and passes out.

Concerned, you carry her featherweight body over to the clinic, where the nurse, still bigoted by old, one-sided interspecies politics, refuses to inspect her. She allows you to use one of the cots, due to school policy. You stay by her side, and check her pulse regularly, until she finally wakes up. Took her long enough, school's almost over!

"Did you..."

"Well, I couldn't leave you on the ground."

She springs up from her bed, and wraps her wings around you.  "Thank you..."

"Hey, are youse two gonna gets out, or what?" The nurse yells, glaring at you.

You walk her to her next class, and make your way to your study hall.

The Incubus next to you refuses to let you work in peace.

"Hey, pal! I heard that you're going to homecoming with Cassandra! Did she blackmail you? Have you two done 'that' yet? Ooooh~, you're still silent? I guess that means you're too embarrassed to talk about it! Don't worry, pal! You're secret's safe with me. You know, I did it with a human girl once..."

He's seriously starting to get on your nerves...

-----------------------------------

He's not worth the mark on your permanent record. You tough it out until the end of class.

With classes finally over, you make your way toward the exit, where you are greeted by a dangling Cassandra.

"Hello again!" She coos. It seems like she's more confident after having a Human accept her feelings.

"Hello, Cassandra!"

"Cassandra?!"

"Isn't that your name?"

"No. My name is Lily."

"I guess that Incubus must not have had his thoughts straight."

"He could've been trying to start something... A-anyways! I'll see you next Monday, okay~? Have a good weekend!"

"You too, Lily!"

You start the long walk home, and Lily goes her own way, carrying a parasol to keep the sunlight out of her eyes.

You visit a convenience store to pick up a drink, and are greeted by a Lamia on the way out.

"Tho, I wath wondering... would you like to go to homecoming with me?"

------------------------------

"I'm sorry, I already have a date for homecoming."

"Ith that tho? Who ith ssshe?"

"Her name is Lily."

"That thtupid bat girl? You're going out with her?!"

"Why yes, I am."

"B-but... I went through all of thith trouble..."

"You were the one who started that rumor?"

"That doethn't matter! Don't you feel at leatht a little guilty?"

"For what?"

"You hurt a poor girlth'th feelingth!"

"To be honest, I think you're a bitch."

"W-what?!"

She whips her tail around your neck, and yanks your face within a hair of hers.

"I am the greatetht thing that will ever happen to you. I know everything about you. Your friendth, family, habith, measurementh, what you've eaten, fetisssheth... everything. I can be everything you want in a woman and more, and yet you thay thuch unkind thingth to me..."

"The girl of my dreams wouldn't strangle me to death."

She tightens her hold on your neck.

"Pleathe, jutht give me a shanth!"

----------------------------

"Okay, fine. If I ever break up with Lily, you'll be the first person I ask out."

"Then let'th put thith promith of yourth to the tetht." She smiles.

She releases you, and slithers off. "I'll thee you again thoon, thweetie~!"

The next day, Lily arrives at your door with an exhausted look on her face.

"H-hey..."

"What's wrong?"

"I-I'm really... hungry..."

"I can cook you something, wait right there!"

"N-no..."

"What?"

"Blood..."

"What?!"

She parts her lips to reveal a set of razor-sharp teeth, and licks her fangs. "Please..."

---------------------

You wrap your arms around her and tilt your head away from her.

"Come on, dinner's ready."

She bites your neck, and blood comes pouring out. She licks the blood off of the wound as it comes up.

"Hahh~n... You're delicious..." She coos.

"Have you had your fill yet?"

"Not even close~!" She covers the wound with her mouth, and slowly, tenderly sucks out a mouthful of blood, and swallows it. She gives you a kiss on the cheek afterward. She takes a bandage out of her pocket and covers up most of the wound.

"I know you're feeling woozy right now, but you'll be better in time for homecoming, I promise. I'll stay here until curfew, so let's get to know each other better! What do you want to talk about?"

----------------------------------------

"Let's talk about you, Lily. Why did you ask me out to homecoming?" You rest your anemic head on her soft lap.

"H-hey!"

"I'm just getting comfortable."

"You could at least ask." She pouts.

"Hurry up and explain yourself already."

"Isn't it obvious? I-I like you!"

"Hey, if you say such bold things, I might lose my cool."

"D-Don't make fun of me, you meanie! B-Besides, I-I wouldn't mind being attacked, as long as it's y-you..."

"What?"

"N-nothing!"

"Also, how did you find out my address?"

"I followed the smell of your blood, silly! It was... so strong. It was delicious, too! Just what I'd expect from the boy I love~!"

She leans over to kiss your cheek again, but you intercept it with your lips.

"Wawawawawawawa..."

"What's wrong?"

"Y-You... Your lips... I-I..."

"I'm sorry, did I scare you?"

She shakes her head, covering her face.

"Come on out, Lily. I want to see your face."

She shakes her head again.

"I guess I'll just have to be a little forceful, then."

You grab her wrists, and push them aside to reveal a red, quivering-lipped, teary-eyed Lily. "P-peek-a-boo.", she stammers.

The mood is ruined by the sound of someone slamming on your door.

"Heeeeyyyy~! Let me iiiiiiiin~! I jutht want to thee you for a thec~!"

--------------------------------

"Lily, find somewhere to hide."

"I-I don't wanna! I can't leave you like this!"

"Nothing bad is going to happen to me, I promise."

"F-fine, but you better keep that promise!"

She scurries off to a nearby room, hiding behind some furniture. You walk up to the door, and the moment you turn the knob, she pushes herself in, knocking you on your feet. "Tada~! I told you that I would thee you again. I'm already more attentive than that thlutty bat, aren't I? I even found out where you lived, tho I could thee you outthide of thcool!"

"Cassandra, I'm starting to get sick of your shit." You point to the bandage on your neck. "Do you see this? It's the wound that Lily left when I fed her, covered up by a bandage that she brought herself. Is that 'attentive' enough for you?"

"Tho what? Ssshe'th probably jutht uthing you for your blood, the little thlut."

You stand up, dusting yourself off. "Considering how she's reacted to my advances on her, probably not."

"A-advantheth?"

"We've already had our first kiss." You say with the most smug of grins.

"Your firtht..." She begins to shake uncontrollably, and grits her teeth. "N-no... ssssssssssshe didn't..." She tackles you, and due to your anemic condition you are unable to fight her off. "Lithen, that kith meant nothing... Ssshe'th j-jutht uthing you ath a juithbokth. Let me sssshow you what a real kith ith like. That way, you can underthtand how much of a mithtake you've made! Okay? You're okay with thith, right?"

You can feel Lily staring at you from a distance, but you don't want to risk her safety.

-------------------------

You cease resisting.

"Hehe~, I can tell you're looking forward to thith! Pucker up, thweetie~!"

She pulls your dizzied head in for a kiss, locking her lips with yours. You can feel a thin, forked tongue slipping into your mouth, wrapping around your tongue and gently tugging on it.

She backs away from the kiss, giggling in between ragged breaths. "Thee! That'th how girlth are thuppothed to kith~! Did it feel good, thweetie? It felt better than anything that thlut did to you, right?"

You are in no condition to give an answer.

"Damn it, you're not even hard! Ith thith really how you thank thomeone'th dedication? I even put on a lewd thet of underwear, jutht for you! I gueth it'th that thlutty bat'th fault, huh? It'th not that you're dithguthted, you jutht don't have enough blood for thith little guy right here~! Don't worry, I'll give you another chanth at homecoming! I... I gueth I'll thee you later, thweetie!"

Cassandra closes the door behind her on the way out, and Lily rushes to your aid.

"A-are you okay?"

"F...ine"

"No, you're not! That lady, sh-she kissed you! And the way you just laid there, helpless... she must've poisoned you, right? Right after you said that nothing bad was going to happen to you, too. Here, let's get you to the hospital."

"No..."

"What do you mean? You could be dying right now! We have to find help!"

Those are the last words you hear before losing consciousness. When you finally wake up, you are strapped to a hospital bed, surrounded by an opaque, plastic curtain.

Although you are still weak from anemia, you feel as though some of your strength has returned.

-------------------------

Taking advantage of the situation, you get some much needed rest.

When you wake up, Lily is straddling you, dressed in a cosplay nurse uniform. "Finally, you're awake! I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to save you in time. How are you feeling?"

"Better. What exactly did you do to me?"

"The operation isn't exactly complete, yet. I need you to bear with me, okay?"

"I think I'd like a trained professional..."

"I AM a trained professional. Now, please stay calm. I'll need to stay focused for this."

You nod, and Lily immediately locks lips with you, sucking on your lower lip. Her lips appear to be very sensitive, as she begins to moan into the kiss. She pulls away from the kiss, her head on your chest, moaning and panting like a dog.

"I-I'm shorry, I-ahn~ can't continue the operashun."

Appreciating the effort, you play along with her. "Don't worry, I think you got most of the poison out. I should be fine."

"R-really?!"

"Yeah."

"Good, now it'sh time for phashe two!"

"Shouldn't you cool off a little? You seem exhausted."

"Mmmmnnn~! Not when I'm in shuch an ideal condition."

She uses the palm of one of her winged hands to check your trousers, and frowns. "But, it appears that you aren't ready..."

"I need more blood in my system for that."

"Is that so? I'll go grab some leftover O-Bags! Don't go anywhere~!"

-------------------------------------

What's the worst that could happen?

Soon enough, Lily arrives with several bags of blood. "It's time for your transfusion!"

"But you don't have an I.V."

"What's that?"

"It's what you use for these kinds of things."

"I think you're just making stuff up."

"I'm not!"

"You know, I have to do this for your own good. You'll understand."

She uses her teeth to punch a hole through a blood bag. Then, holding the bag in one hand, and keeping your mouth pried open with the other, she shoves the bleeding sack into your mouth. Forced to swallow the thick, metallic fluid, you began to feel nauseous. You try to gurgle your distress to Lily.

"I know it's unpleasant, but it has to be done! I won't let you leave until you're all better!"

Eventually, she empties the entire bag into your stomach. The moment she removes the bag from your face, you vomit uncontrollably over your clothes.

"Oh no! It seems like I didn't get enough of the poison out... I shouldn't have listened to you!" She cries.

"There is no poison, you idiot!"

"It's obvious that the poison's still there! Otherwise, why would your body reject the blood?"

Your fight-or-flight instincts have kicked in. Now would be the perfect time to escape.

------------------------------------

Fleeing will only bring more trouble.

"If that's the case, please remove the rest of the poison, nurse."

"Will do!" She smiles.

Once again, she straddles and kisses you. This time, however, she bites down on your lower lip, and jerks her head back, her fangs tearing through the sensitive flesh. She then wraps her lips around the gash, and laps up the bitter red nectar gushing out of it.

With a confident look on her face, she ends her feeding frenzy with a kiss on the cheek. "There, I think I got all of it. Don't you think so?"

"..."

"Oh, I knew I was too reckless! You must've lost a lot of blood, huh? Don't worry, I'll get you fixed in no time!" She leaves your curtain temporarily.

It takes her a while, but she returns with a needle and some thread. "Here, Nurse Lily will stitch you up~!"

The process is long, clumsy and painful, but she eventually manages to sew your wound shut.

Many blood-bags, vomiting sessions and home-cooked meals later, you manage to recover.

Just in time for homecoming, too!

You wonder who you'll take with you...

-------(CASSANDRA END)-------

After what you've been through, there's no way you could go with Lily.

You give it some thought, and decide to go with Cath- I mean, Cassandra.

"Glad to thee that you're not a total idiot after all."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You thpent tho much time with her, I wath afraid that you actually fell for her for a thecond."

"With her? I would never!"

"Then how come you didn't athk me in the firtht plathe?"

"I was just trying to make you jealous."

"You really upthet me, though.

"Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?"

"Well, thinthe you athked tho nithely..."

Later that night, the two of you drive up to the community center, ready dance your hearts out. Thankfully, Lily is nowhere to be seen. In fact, nobody's here but the two of you.

"Thurprise!"

"I don't get it. What happened?"

"Ithn't it obviouth?" Cassandra forces you to the ground, holding your arms against the floor. "I'll give you a thecond to think about it."

"..."

"Well, it'th good to know that I'm hard to read. I never planned on taking you to homecoming, dummy! I want you all to mythelf for the night. Ith that too much to athk for?"

"Not at all. However, I have one condition."

"And that ith?"

"Don't force yourself on me. I love you, Cassandra. There's no reason to run away from such a golden opportunity."

Cassandra's face turns a bright red. "I..."

"Yes?"

"I... love... you. I... love you! Hehe! I love you! I love you, I love you, I love you!"

"I love you, too."

You spend the rest of the night together. When it was time to go, Cassandra refused to let go of you. Her parents offered you a chance to stay in the guest room, and you gladly accepted, although you had no intent on leaving Cassandra's side. Instead, while her parents were asleep, you snuck into her room, and made love to her slowly, and passionately. Of course, she refused to use protection.

Several months later, she gave birth to your first child. From that day on, you promised that nothing would ever separate the two of you.


-------(LILY END)-------

Even if she's not the brightest, she's still pretty damn cute. You decide stay with Lily.

She launches out the door when she realizes who's knocking, almost knocking you off your feet. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! I only wanted to help, but I ended up hurting you instead. Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?"

"Of course I'll forgive you, Lily."

"R-really?!"

"I can't stay mad at such a cute face. Let's hurry up and get ready for Homecoming!"

"About that... I don't think I want to go."

"Why not?"

"I'm afraid that the scary snake lady will be waiting for us there! She might take you away from me, and then poison you again, and then... I don't want to think sabout it."

"Then how would you like to spend the day?"

"Let's stay inside. There's nothing that would make me happier."

You comply with Lily's wishes, and stay by her side for the rest of the day.

Late in the night, you're watching horror films with her. Whenever something frightens her, she jumps a little, and you're unable to resist kissing her on the cheek. Sometimes, she'd feign a reaction, and lean toward you, hoping for a kiss. You catch onto her little scheme, and when she tries to pull it off again, you whisper, "Would you like something more than a kiss?"

In response, she flies off of her seat, and tries to hide her face. You pry her hands away, and she springs forth to kiss you. "M-maybe I would. Don't be too rough, okay?"

Your first time with her was short, but intense. When she climaxed, she wrapped her wings around you, and sunk her teeth deep inside your shoulder. It hurt, but at that particular moment, you didn't want to let her go. After she treated your wounds, the two of you fell asleep on the floor, cuddling.

Eventually, the two of you get married. The local jeweler didn't have a ring that would fit on Lily's oddly-shaped digits, though, so you settled on getting her a toe ring. The expression on her face when you presented it to her was priceless.
