Sinful Temptations - Volume 1 Chapter 22 Pacifier

The gate keeper sat with his legs crosses. He sat in the middle of the path nearly covering the entire entrance with his body. He yawned, appearing bored.

“You guys have to calm down” says Lili, stepping in front of Nahum and Garvit.

“He’s taunting us” pouted Nahum

” you’re behaving like a child” Lili replies rolling her eyes.

” remember it says to pacify him”

Turning to the big creature, Lili chose to just ask the creature what he wanted instead of guessing.

“We really just need to speak with Master Zoo. What do want in exchange for allowing us to past through? ”

The only thing that showed a hint of the creature hearing what Lili said was the lift of his eyebrow.

” your willing to bring me what I want instead of trying to fight your way through? The pixie (referring t garvit) looks like she wants to burn off some energy”

Garvit huffed and turned her back to the creature.

“Yes” was Lili’s only response.

The creature seemed to smirk, as if he just thought of something impossible. There was no sound to be heard as they waited for his request. They really didn’t want to go on another quest when they’ve only made it to the first of three doors.

In a booming voice, the creature finally spoke ” I have but one request. In my past I use to cherish something so delightful, but since then it has been harder to obtain, especially while guarding this gate. Bring me 50 moon pies and I will allow you to past through my gate.”

All “…”

Nahum was the first to speak, ” did he really say Moon pies” ” I am hearing things right”

“I believe he just wants to eat something sweet” replied Garvit.

Laughing dramatically, Nahum raised his hand in the air shaking his finger at the monster in disbelief. “Let me clarify. You are asking for that chocolate covered marshmallow pie?”

“Yes” was the creatures only answer.

“well I’ll be darn” Nahum said clapping his hands in delight. “This is easy”

Lili rolled her eyes at him. ” Do they even make them anymore?”

” Luckily, for you I have a guy”

“you have a guy for everything” replied Lili

“You would be correct. The hard part would be picking them up and getting them here”

“Maybe Rosi can help us” Pulling out her cell, She dialed Rosi and put it on speaker.

“OMG, I have been so worried are you okay…. ” Lili let Maryrose continue on with her barrage of questions for another minute before interrupting her. “Rosi, shh for just a second, we need your help”

Rosi could be heard taking a deep breath. ” Okay, What do you need?”

” Your parents are still in Australia right? Can you get them to arrange to have a package transported from Tennessee to Sydney Tower?”

“Sure, they’ll do anything for their second daughter.”

“I’ll call you right back” she said hanging up.

She called back a few minutes later, ” do you want the good news or the bad news first?”
