Ai has an idea

“Let’s see.” Eve says, observing the situation. “A big open field, aerial units on either side. There is no way for us to cross without being seen.”

“Maybe we can do something to lure the harpies away?” Ai suggests.

“That would work. Even if it just thins their numbers it would improve our chances.” Eve says. “Problem is, I have no idea what could possibly serve as lure.

“Wait … a lure. I’ve got an idea.” Ai says. She takes her sister’s hand and pulls her back where they came from.

Once they are back at a lower level Ai sticks two fingers in her pussy. When she pulls them back out she smears her pussy juices on the walls.

“What the hell, Ai?” Eve asks.

“These last few weeks, while hunting towerlings, I learned they have a tendency to follow the scent of pussy.” Ai explains. “You know, like, whichever human doesn’t have that smell is a man, so, not useful. But a human that does smell like that, now that’s a prime target. Maybe if you'd brought a gun, we wouldn't need to do this, now stop staring and do what I do.”

Eve grudgingly sticks two fingers in her pussy. She churns them around to scoop up some of her juices and then smears them on the walls. Once Ai says they’ve done enough, they run off and hide.

Eve can’t say how long they have to wait. Ten minutes? Twenty? Maybe more than half an hour. Eventually two Lupicks enter the room. They sniff the air which follows them to the walls where Eve and Ai put their scent.

While the Lupicks are distracted Eve and Ai come out of their hiding place and sneak towards them. By the time the Lupicks head them it is too late. Ai stabs one of the Lupicks in its heart and Eve slices the other’s throat.

“Good.” Ai says when both Lupicks lie dead on the ground. “Hand me one of your claws.”

As soon as eve hands it over Ai uses it to cut open the Lupick’s belly. When the hole is big enough she starts pulling out its insides.

“What are you doing?” Eve asks in disgust.

“Emptying it out. Then I can crawl inside and the harpies will think I am a Lupick.” Ai explains.

Eve imagines her sister crawling inside a bloody hollowed out Lupick and nearly loses the peaches she just had. But then again, it’s not like she had any better ideas.

“You know, you are different from last month.” Eve says.

“Hey, a month ago I didn’t have to survive in a tower full of monsters, naked and alone.” Ai quips.

Eve sighs and starts to cuts open the other Lupick’s belly. She pulls out its stomach, intestines and lungs. When the Lupicks are empty enough Eve and Ai each crawl inside their Lupick and wear them as suits.

“Hey, Eve. Look at me.” Ai says. “I have a dick.”

Then Ai wraps a hand on the dick that hangs underneath her Lupick suit and starts jacking it off.

“Christ, Ai. It’s dead. It’s not going to become hard.” Eve groans. She hated her sister's sense of humor nearly all of the time.

“Yeah, I guess so.” Ai says. She pulls her hand back into the Lupick suit and the sisters head back to the harpies.

When they return to the big room with the harpies they get on all fours and start the crossing. Ai left behind her spear. It is too big to fit inside the Lupick and would make her stand out if she carried it on the Lupick’s back. Once they are about a quarter of the way the two harpies look towards them from above, not really able to get a good look at the two from a distance.

“Where do you think those are going?” One of the harpies asks.

“Do we care? We should be out, finding more mates, not investigating the goddamn dogs.” The harpy replies.

“You already have two women expecting.” The other harpy says. “How many kids do you want to raise?.”

“Umm, Dozens?” The second one says, now starting to ignore the makeshift disguises that Eveline and Ai are wearing.

"Quality over quantity. You are gonna be an important factor in their life if you don't want them to end up as farmers" The first said in annoyed tone, as the two broke into a complete argument.

Ai and Eve manage to cross the remainder of the room without any further interruptions. The harpies continued their argument about how to raise children, and any other harpies in the room started to pay more attention to the argument then Ai or Eve's Lupick getup.

When on the other side, Ai and Eve enter the round white passage. They walk a bit further, making certain they are out of the Harpies line of sight, then get out of the Lupick suits.

“Oh, finally.” Eve groans. “That was super gross.”

“My back.” Ai moans. “Humans are not meant to walk on all fours.”

“Well, it was your idea.” Eve says, more worried about her body now being covered in Lupick blood.

Ai stands up, proudly puts her hands on her hips, pushes her chest forward and says, “And like that, we are past the harpies.”

“You know, that plan would have fallen apart in a second if they so much as got five feet away from us.” Eve grins.

"Everyone gets a lucky break sometimes." Ai says smiling back.

Eve and Ai next break another two claws from the Lupick bodies they wore. New weapons for Ai to use. With that done, the sisters continue down the marble colored passage, leaving bloody footprints where they walk.
