Pairs of Pumpkins, Episode 11:
The Teleporting Tours of a Top-Heavy Teenager

Chapter 6 of 13
Anastasia followed her half-brother Duodecaplet out of the lab and upstairs to the ground floor, to the nearest of one of the large manor's many water closets. She closed the distance between them with brisk walking after ascending the stairs and was close enough to him by the time it was obvious where he was going.
The house wasn't public enough to bother with different genders but not familial enough for them to all be common. The one he went to, she'd never been in as it was only for servants and lower-status guests.
When he pushed in the door, she was three steps behind him. Any closer risked running into him.
Anastasia could give the door an extra nudge to clear it without becoming visible again as long as he didn't look back and witness the door move on its own. He didn't and she twirled the moment she passed through the threshold, smashing her chest into one wall then the other. She quickly reeled in her own tail around her waist and clutched it against her. With a look over her shoulder, she watched the door closed behind her.
A glance down confirmed the spell hadn't broken.
These water closets were private and clean, kept spotless by low-level magics like the rest of the house but they were relatively spartan. The bathrooms attached to bedrooms and guest rooms were much more luxurious in space, materials and decor.
She waited by the door and pursed her lips, never intending to be this kind of voyeur.
The Duodecaplet stood at the toilet and relieved himself with his back to her, the length of the room between them. When finished, he turned back to the counter, in no hurry to put his sheathed cock away! It was like the brother's she'd seen so many months before: a wrist-thick tube of furred flesh containing the same familial abundance as the other males of their bloodline.
Her eyes latched to it, lingering for a moment. He approached the sink closing a dangerous distance to her. If she was going to reveal herself, now was the time.
"Duodecaplet!" she blurted out and he recoiled, taking several steps back and drew his blade from his hip in a smooth, honed reflex. His other hand joined his grip, brandishing it.
His eyes widened as she became visible then dropped like stones to her exposed breasts. None of them had ever seen her without clothes.
"Anastasia?!" His discipline didn't let his gaze linger for long and he squared back into a fighting stance.
"We're not going to fight. You know what I can do."
He paused, blinking in thought. "Why are you here? Sneaking around, naked?" His brow crinkled. "Are you trying to seduce me?"
"What?! No!"
She presented her palms up and outward, as if the sorceress concealing a palm-sized weapon was somehow a concern of his when he knew she could turn him inside out.
"I'm here to talk."
"Then talk."
"I need to explain some things. First, what Zarron considers my betrayal, was not a betrayal of any of you. And you're all in the middle of betraying him. Which is good. He betrayed you more than any of us. We have a common enemy."
His eyes narrowed and the grip on his weapon tensed. She glared at it.
"Stop it. I want to help. But Eva would sic you all on me before she would listen."
"You don't think you could take all nine of us?"
"I know I could. But you wouldn't all survive. We're not enemies, brother."
He blinked and exhaled. "Why did you leave?"
"I didn't plan it. I saw what Marmalade did to our brothers. Taking their souls. Zarron caught me spying. Forbidden magic. Things I wasn't supposed to know. I had to think fast. I fled. I teleported away before he could punish me."
"Where have you been?"
"I found our mother, east of here. And we're liberating our siblingsthat Zarron sold into slavery. Most of what he told us about her were lies. She is a good person."
"Even if I believed you, Eva won't."
"That's why I'm here. With you. In the bathroom." Her eyes fell to his cock again, hanging out of his pants. It was smaller now than his brother had been a year ago. He was afraid.
"We're allies. We all have the same goals. All of us. Even Eva."
"You don't have that kind of credibility in this house. Not anymore. You should've come back."
"For what? Zarron to kill me? Something worse?"
"He's barely been here."
"How could I have known that?" Her nostrils flared and her weight shifted. "It makes sense that for all your training, nobody taught you to question anything. You all trust Eva too much. Our sister is smart but she's impulsive. Emotional. She has every right to hate him. We all do. But she's wrong about mother and she's wrong about me."
He relaxed his posture and sheathed his sword. "What is it you want?"
Her eyes gestured to the sink. His brow crinkled before he obliged and washed his hands. "You were invisible with magic. You have to take off your clothes for that?"
She nodded. "I've been able to for years but no one knew. Zarron didn't til that night."
He went to tuck his maleness back in but stopped with his thumbs in the waistband of his pants. "Is that why this doesn't bother you?"
"Why should that bother me?" Those words sounded less confident than her last. "I've seen them before. I don't care."
He narrowed his eyes and pursed her lips. "You've watched us?"
"The ritual that stole our brother's soul: it was sex magic. With Madam Marmalade."
He slipped his hands away from himself, leaving him exposed. He took another glance at her breasts and his cock was back to normal size, the red tip now poking out of its sheath.
"Why are you here? Be specific."
"I came to make sure Zarron couldn't find mother and I. That he cannot intervene with our rescues. One of those rescues will be the other three Duodecaplets. But none of us rescuing them will do any good if we cannot undo Marmalade's magic. I needed certain spellbooks for that."
His head dipped in a nod and his posture relaxing further. He considered for a moment before continuing. "She... mother, I mean: is it true about her and Joseph?"
"Yes but it was an accident."
"How do you accidentally have sex?"
"Deliberate sex, not knowing he was hers She did not know she had offspring at all. Zarron lied about her abandoning us so we would hate her. She had no idea about any of this. Any of us.
"Now that she knows, all she does is rescue her children that need help. Our brothers and sisters, that Zarron sold. She gave up everything else to make sure we are all safe and free. I help her with it and it's the best thing I've ever done."
She took a step forward and his eyes fell to the quake in her breasts. He tensed again.
"Duo, if I was going to hurt you, I wouldn't need to be close. I wouldn't need to be visible." She paused and took another step. "I told you: we're on the same side. We have the same goals: stop Zarron. Save our family."
He was unmoved. "The only family the Duos have is each other."
"Zarron decided that. You can decide otherwise."
"None of that matters to us, until our three brothers are recovered."
"Mother and I are going to recover them. I'm going to do my best to fix them."
"So did Mother stop?"
Anastasia tilter he head. "Stop what?"
"Fucking Joseph."
She considered for a moment. "She did." That was technically true.
Sex with her son had been an awakening of pleasure she'd never thought possible, Portia had explained to her as they traveled. No lover had ever appreciated her as throughly as her own offspring. She struggled with the forbidden urge for the taboo act for months, seeking distractions then professional help to supress it. Nothing had worked.
Their mother found herself quarantined in a plague with another son, Jasper. He was one of the Purebloods who'd developed mind magic. With her desires impossible to hide from him, she admited to caving within minutes of them being alone.
Two depraved months later, she emerged having admitted and accepted that she no longer had any sexual desire outside of her mature sons and had created a set of rules she believed she could continue to do so ethically.
Since then, Ana had watched and masturbated while her mother had sex with four more of their rescued brothers including three of them at the same time. Portia had planned another rescue this week of a pair of half-rabbit breeder sons and was sure to have sex with them too.
