I heard Celane whisper in my mind, even as I became her younger self, “This is the day, the moment when my powers matured, such a very long time ago.”
My mind was connected with everything around me. I was close to maturing into my full powers, and to becoming a woman. The light breeze caressed my skin as my mind wandered, connecting to the local wildlife. My mother was a seer, and I wondered if I would be one too. Seers were both revered and feared, I wasn’t sure I would want that. I wanted to find a mate, have a relationship as wonderful as the one my parents shared. I felt my attraction to others changing as my body changed and developed.
I gasped as my power grew and a bright light seemed to overpower my mind. As it faded I found myself in a strange place. It was obviously a bedroom, but of a kind I had never seen before. I walked over to the bed and gasped. I saw myself lying in bed with another person; it was far into the future, impossibly far.
I looked at the person my older self I was laying next to, and when I saw her I was filled with both boundless love and shock. Shock because not only wasn’t she a man, she wasn’t even fae. She looked human, but I could feel her power over the dead. I was confused as intense feelings of love, hope, and rightness swept over me. I studied her carefully, wistfully, knowing I wouldn’t see her again for a very long time.
She had beautiful long reddish blonde hair, and bright green eyes. She had a face that was cute and I adored it already. She was beautiful to me, even the strange ears. I couldn’t see her body under the covers, but I already knew every curve, the firm suppleness of her generous C cups, the cute tight butt, and thin waist. I longed to touch her, but this was just a vision and that was impossible.
I clutched my head as the bright white light came back and I found myself back in the glade. I felt tears falling down my face and I got angry that I was a seer. I had seen my future, the love of my life, but I would have to wait over a thousand years before I could meet her…
I came back to myself still in her mind and felt her wipe my tears off of my face. The feelings had been so raw and powerful. She loved me? Her fate had been to be enslaved by the woman she was destined to love?
“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” I asked as my breath choked up.
Celane said softly, “It wasn’t time. You were too young, too angry, and in too much pain. You weren’t ready to love me back. You’re right you know, I never wanted to destroy Earth, I had simply joined them so I could get to you. Other visions led me down that road.”
I studied her carefully. She looked nervous as if unsure how I would respond. It was obvious though, my confused feelings had been guilt and shame at keeping her, and love. I hadn’t recognized it in myself, until I had felt hers.
I pulled out of her mind and opened my eyes. My cheeks were wet and I wiped them off.
I took her hand and asked, “Will you join me in our room? It seems very unfair.”
Celane asked in a rasping voice, “Our room? Unfair?”
I nodded and smiled shyly, “Yes, you seem to have an intimate knowledge of my body already, I think I deserve the same.”
It took her a second to catch up, and her smile was followed by tears. I couldn’t even imagine waiting that long or what she went through. And she got stuck with me on top of that, what a crappy deal. Good for me though.
I pulled her gently to me and kissed her softly, something I would have never imagined doing even ten minutes earlier. I kissed the corners of her mouth, and below her eyes, softly brushing away her tears with my lips as I played with her long hair. It took a little while for her to calm down before I stood and walked her to my… our bedroom.
Celane asked in a barely audible voice, “Are you sure mis… Kat?”
I squeezed her hand, “Yes, very sure. That must have been hard, waiting so long only to find an angry child that needed to grow up.”
Celane smiled, “In some ways, in others I didn’t mind. The hardest part was suppressing my love so you wouldn’t feel it through the link.”
I turned as got in our room and started to take her clothes off little by little, relishing her slowly revealed beauty. I had rebuilt her body and was familiar with it down to the smallest detail. I had shaped it into its former appearance when I took her soul. Yet it was different this time as I caressed every new inch of revealed flesh, so much more intimate.
I felt vulnerable, and loved, as she returned the favor, slowly stripping the clothes off my body. Her soft touch set my core afire as she explored my body. Her lips were silky smooth as she blazed a trail of fire down my neck and across my shoulder. She may have been mine, but I was utterly under her control at the moment.
We broke the kiss reluctantly and walked over to the bed, I ran my eyes up and down her glorious body and caught my breath as I saw the desire in her eyes as she gave me a heated gaze. She guided me to lie down on my back and she laid half on me, half on her side and started kissing me. I gasped as she moved her body slowly up and down, her velvety smooth thigh pushed lightly into my core as she grazed it and pleasure coiled in my center. I could also feel her wet heat rubbing against me, leaving a slightly moistened trail on my body as she moaned deeply into my mouth.
I reached a hand down between her legs and she gave me access immediately, rubbing against the soft touch of my fingers as she reciprocated. I was content, relaxed, and all hers. I was more than willing to let her set the pace as we made love for the first time. I knew sometime soon we would break out a toy, or sixty nine, but for now we kissed softly and gently brought each other closer to rapture on soft touches and fingertips. We teasingly held each other on the edge. My core tingled and tightened further and further, until I thought I had to explode, then she teased my body expertly and brought me even higher.
This was so new to me, I had sex before in Katie, but not with this body with another. I had always feared the vulnerability of it, the trust. Celane was my first in a very real way and she was setting me a fire in a way I had never felt before.
We were connected through our bond and I could feel what she liked. I knew how hard and exactly where to touch her to give her the most pleasure. I whimpered as she broke the kiss and bent her body to tease my nipples with her lips, tongue and teethe. I gasped loudly as she bit down hard, it both hurt and felt incredibly good and I felt pleasure shoot like lightning from my nipple down to my core.
“Please Celane,” I begged in breathless longing.
I thought I might break if I didn’t reach my bliss soon, then she pushed down on my clit with her thumb, and brushed my g-spot at the same time.
I was barely able to do the same back to her as I was overcome with explosive pleasure, my tightly coiled core came undone all at once and my body was wracked by rapturous bliss. I couldn’t move or breathe. There was only the pleasure and the feel of Celane’s soft and supple naked body against mine as we trembled together in ecstatic bliss. I had no idea it could be so good…
Celane said breathlessly, “So worth the wait.”
I thought about that for a second, and then started to giggle. She started laughing too and nipped playfully on my nipple before kissing back up to my mouth. I couldn’t wait to see what she would do to me next…
The next morning we were sitting in the kitchen, I was sipping my coffee and my body was pleasantly sore. We had just finished a morning encore when my ghosts reported the five ass wipes had gotten into town. They had been discussing their plans, two of them wanted to hit the hotel and relax, see if anything came up that would lead them to me. They were scared to force a confrontation and just wanted to find me and then plan an attack.
One of them wanted to attack the vamps and set a trap, but the other two wanted to go talk to the new witch Sue and find out if she knew anything. I couldn’t tell if they knew her, or if they were just planning on bullshitting her or shaking her down for info. It was impossible to tell. I just knew I’d be annoyed if she was another spy.
I knew most witches absolutely loathed warlocks, and weren
’t excited about necromancers either. But I just couldn’t buy that many of them would work with these twisted humans. It was just a matter of time before witches, werewolves, vampires, and sorcerers got added to their list. They were people that thrived on violence and were more than a little crazy; if they wiped us out they would no doubt need a new enemy to hunt.
They decided in the end to talk to the witch, and if she didn’t know anything to go to a hotel. I was extremely curious how they knew there was a new witch here, what was their source? There were no more council registrations, or rules. Not here anyway, not after I was done with them. Very few had stayed after that.
I had the fae set up the transport across town to the witch’s house, just in case I wanted or needed to jump in there. I also had Katie on a tight leash and leading the two humans I’d snagged over in that direction. I also had Allie return home so she was close if I needed her. She could go visit with the vamps more later on if she wanted.
At the same time this was going on, my ghosts reported back we’d found the leaders of two other cells, as far as we knew there was only one more, at least, under the highest boss we’d found. For all I knew there were other bosses at his level, all of them responsible for sixty plus people. So far we had no luck tracing any farther up however. So now I had fifty one ghosts out there following people, while I wanted both the last group of ten, and the boss’s boss.
I wish I had a hacker in my ghosts, I bet the money was traceable somehow.
I was listening and watching through my ghosts as they knocked on her door.
Sue opened it and looked askance at the five large men at her door, “Can I help you?”
One of the men said, “We were hoping you could help us, we’re looking for someone extremely dangerous…”
Sue held up a hand and cut him off, “Why would you be asking me about that?”
He said, “Because it’s a damn necromancer, and we thought a witch might have some information…”
He looked pissed as she stopped him again, “How did you know what I am?”
He growled “Social media.”
Her eyebrow went up, “Really?”
I almost laughed at that, social media was the leak? No plugging that.
He nodded, clearly running out of patience, “Sure, lots of humans are obsessed with you others, god knows we post about everything else.”
She nodded, “I’m sorry, I can’t help you, I don’t know any necromancers. As far as I can tell there aren’t any here and if there is they are keeping to themselves. Why are you here? After the necromancer I mean? Surely if they were a real problem the large city full of humans around us could handle it. You’re clearly a stranger, why would you come all this way?”
He growled, “You calling me a liar?”
She shook her head, “No, of course not. Necromancers are dangerous, but so are humans, and witches. I think we are done here.”
I grinned, she had spunk and wasn’t taking any shit, I just hoped…
He said menacingly, “You need to be taught some respect. You on our world bitch!” and I saw Sue’s body go flying backwards into her house.
She flew down the hallway into the kitchen and stopped when she hit the cabinets. The five men were all shielded now as they walked into the house.
Fuck. This was absolutely none of my business, I was sure if I was on fire Sue might not even spit on me to help put it out, although pissing wasn’t out of the question. Damn it, but they were here for me. It didn’t make me responsible, but it did make me involved. I sent Fran an order to go to her house, wait down the street until it was over. Fran was the healer. I also sent orders to Katie, dumb, and dumber to move in.
I jumped in Allie’s body and gave the order to open the portal. I was covered in a shield as I went through, my hand getting darker by the second. I came out on their flank in the kitchen. The witch and all five humans turned and looked at me in surprise. It turned to shock when I punched into my first human. I didn’t bother ripping out his heart, merely stopped it with my necromantic power then hooked his soul. He was on my side before my hand left his body.
Katie ran in and started pummeling another, not breaking through the shields. Eventually dumb and dumber arrived. It got messy when they took down the shields for Katie with sharp TK attacks. I hooked him too, two hundred and sixty six.
The other three were attacking me, but my shield held long enough for me to take out another, while my three humans and Katie took out number four. All this happened in mere moments. I smelled it as the fifth guy soiled himself and fell to the floor. I stopped at that point; I wasn’t going to murder in cold blood. I fixed up the next two, now I had two hundred and sixty eight.
I sent the six humans and Katie, after giving the appropriate mental commands to ensure obedience and loyalty, back to the coven house. After a quick search there were no new faces, but I didn’t expect any, these guys only knew their ten, no one else.
I turned to Sue who was looking up at me in horror and I shrugged, “I’ve been meaning to invite you out for some coffee, or perhaps tea. I thought now might be a good time to drop by.”
She looked confused for a second, “What?”
I guess that was a little too polite and cultured for the circumstances. Such was my life.
I sighed, “These ass munching fuck heads have been trying to kill me for a while, but they can’t even find my house. I couldn’t let them beat and rape the new girl in town could I?”
I turned to the human sitting in his own excrement, “So tell me Chuck, how would your wife Mia feel about you beating up and raping witches? Or trying to kill innocent necromancers and warlocks?”
He froze, “How…”
I snorted, “Ghosts moron. You’re hunting a necromancer. So here is what’s going to happen. You’re going to go home to your beautiful wife and drop out of your special needs group. I will be watching you. If you slip up, I’ll kill you, understand?”
He nodded.
I swear Allie rocks. She looks like such a bad ass and her voice can inspire nightmares when I really try. I couldn’t get away with intimidation like this in my own body. I’m too damn cute.
I sighed, “This is really important Chuck… if I have to kill you I’ll make you my slave. No after life for you, your soul will be mine, just like your buddies. So how about it, should we fight now, or are you going home? You also need to keep your mouth shut, no telling your buddies about my ghosts, or you die, painfully. Then after you die the torture will really start.”
Fran walked between us, which threw things off. Sue recoiled when Fran knelt down.
I said, “Relax Sue, she’s going to fix up anything wrong. She’s an evil bitch, but she’s a great healer.”
I turned back to Chuck, “Well?”
Chuck said, “I’ll go now, home I mean.”
I nodded, good choice. Of course he was a major bully probably like the rest of them, I hoped he wouldn’t take out his anger and embarrassment on someone else, but if he did I would know. He got up and ran out to the car they’d come in. I made sure one of my ghosts was following him and turned to Fran and Sue.
“How is she?”
Fran shrugged, “Fine, she had a bruise and a sprain in her wrist but I healed them.”
“Fine, go home Fran.”
Fran glared but went. She had no choice.
It was just Sue and I, in Allie’s body.
Sue asked, “What now?” her eyes were a little wild.
I shrugged, “Nothing? Why would I do something to you, I just saved you. Although we could get coffee sometime if your of a mind. I’m just saying… I have a simple policy, don’t try and kill me and I’m good. I even let that butt munch human go, you think I would harm you?”
Yeah, crazy woman desperate for friends, look out.
“Yeah, you are a pathetic bitch,” Allie said sarcastically in my mind.
I snapped back, “Why thank you. Don’t make me dress you in yellow and dye your hair bl
onde.”
I almost giggled out loud at the mock horrified feeling from Allie.
Sue gulped, “I don’t know, it’s been a crazy morning.”
I nodded slowly, “Why don’t I let you get your shit together, maybe I’ll call you in a few days, just neighborly like. I won’t force myself on you though, I… Fuck it. Later…”
I was done trying to explain myself. I wanted friends but life was what it was. At least I was blessed with Celane. I turned and with a thought the fae opened the portal and closed it after I stepped through. I thought I heard Sue mutter thank you right before it closed…
Chapter 7 – Jeremy
I woke up to a scream. My mind was still clouded and I could barely think. It took a moment, but I realized it had been my own scream. There was stabbing sensation going up and down my legs.
“Good, you’re finally awake,” the tone of Kari’s voice was chilling.
“What the fuck?” I asked in a pained grunt.
She snorted, “Don’t act innocent with me, I know what you are.”
My head spun as I tried to make sense of that. I looked up and around. I was in a cellar, and there were lines drawn on the ground around me. Bell was in a similar circle close by but she was still out.
“What did you do to her?”
Kari smirked, “Drugs, I can’t risk letting her wake up. You on the other hand I can play with until the others get here. I wanted to just kill you, but they want to question you first, something about some sick bitch necromancer killing humans.”
I looked up confused, “Why? We didn’t do anything to you.”
She snorted, “Because I did unto you first. I found your sacrificial knife and I know what you planned to do once I was knocked unconscious by round two. You’re not the ones that killed my sister, but you’ll do.”
Pain lanced up and down my other leg, I could only imagine what she was doing to me. I couldn’t even lift my head to look down my body. I also couldn’t touch my magic or connect with my amulets. They were still on me, lying on my chest. No one else could remove them unless they knew the specific command word, or they drained it of magic.
