“Of course you guys aren’t stupid, Stan! How can you even think that? My point is that you have all been living among humans a long time,” Gem said, then turned to Jaxx. “How long have has it been since you used your full powers? Is it like humans who, if we don't exercise our abilities on a daily basis, might diminish over time? Humans say, 'Use it or Lose it'. Can that also apply to other species? Delinear and Eloran haven't lived among us, and they have obviously not lost their powers. Wouldn’t it make sense that they might know a Fae was around. And, even if you couldn’t have detected her, what does that mean? Unless something tipped them off? I mean, how else could they have known, unless there was a traitor among the Fae, and would that even be possible?”
“Hmmm,” Taylor mused. Looking at the others who had never even thought about it, she continued. “Well, Gem might have a point. We haven't been able to protect Gem or Lola. And, it's not as if we haven't tried, but maybe...maybe Gem's right. Maybe our powers are not as strong as they should be. After all, we don't use them unless necessary, and there just hasn't been anything pressing until recently. Tipped off, huh? That never occurred to me,” she continued in a muted whisper. “But, who could it have been?”
Somehow, that made sense to Jaxx. He hadn't used his powers in ages, and that included their ability to scent others. He had cast his wards many, many years ago. But, honestly, he couldn’t remember having used them for anything else since. And, he knew, for a fact, that neither Taylor or Stan had, either. And, his own protection over Gem had not worked when she was taken. He had wondered, albeit briefly, why he was unable to protect Gem. Another thought had occurred to him. Everything revolved around scent. Gem smelled like Lola; Lola smelled like her. His brain couldn’t rap around this fact, so he felt he had to come up with a better explanation.
“But, Lola wasn't always with you,” Jaxx put forth. He was trying to find an excuse, although deep inside himself, he knew Gem was right. They hadn't “used it”, so had they, truly, “lost it”?
Gem thought about that for – like – two seconds! The answer was obvious to her.
“True. But, remember. Animal owners bear their scent all the time! Lola's scent is always on me!”
Her words were like being hit over the head with an iron rod. Jaxx had just been thinking that, but rapidly disregarded it, because he just couldn’t believe that they were that ineffective. Who they are was what they were! And, yet…?
“Holy crap!” Stacy said. “She's right! Oh! Shit! If they did see her open the Vorc, it won’t take them long to figure out exactly who Gem is, and that she was the one that Lola has been guarding!”
Everyone looked at each other as they realized the truth.
“OK. We have to admit it. We fell down on the job! Eloran and Delinear may have seen her open a Vorc'ara, but maybe they still didn’t know that they were looking for Gem when she escaped the Volcano tunnels. But, they almost have to know who she is, now,” Taylor added. “So, until we know all of Gem’s powers, we need to get that book, then figure out where we are going to 'hide' until we can figure out what to do in the long term,”
Rick, Stan, and Jaxx all snorted at the word “hide”, but knew that she was right.
Rick thought maybe Taylor's Vorc might work right at the site of the library, instead of from the house. And, if hers didn't, Gem's would. But, the sad thing was that, now, they had no other choice.
“Well, I guess that's all water under the bridge, now, so no use crying over that spilled milk,” Gem told them. “And, I know...you guys don't like 'hiding'. Quite frankly, neither do I, but what choice to we have?”
“Absolutely none, whatsoever,” Taylor answered. “We can get the book, but we are going to need a diversion. All we can hope for is that we can throw them off the trail. They have to at least suspect that Gem has the book, now, so they won't stop trying to get it, and her. At least, we know we can walk into the library to get it. Oh! And, don't forget the crystal! That's the most dangerous thing of all! So, does anyone know where that crystal is?”
Silence met Taylor’s question.
“No one knows?” she asked, again.
“I don't see how we could know. Maybe it did 'drown' in the Atlantic!” Stan answered. “Let's hope so!”
Gem shot a quick look at Jaxx, who barely shook his head at her. She almost huffed, while everyone shrugged. If their experiment worked for real, then they would still be on borrowed time. Once they got into the library, Gem would procure the book, then leave. Hopefully, before Delinear would show herself, and find they had left.
The plan in place, it was time to leave. After changing into clothing that would not be seen in the middle of the night, they all piled into two of the SUV's, and using the temporary invisibility of both Jaxx and Stan, they climbed into the vehicle, and drove away from the house. Care was taken not to exhaust their powers, but they could only hold it for a short time, due to the many years of non-use.
“How long can you two hold it?” Taylor asked.
“Maybe, what, Stan?”
“Between the two of us? Oh, say...a half hour at most? Maybe shorter? Not really able to tell,” Stan told her.
“OK. Let's plan on half an hour, and just hope that it works. That leaves us twenty minutes to drive there, and another ten minutes to get in, get the book, and get out,” Rick muttered.
Stan turned to Jaxx.
“Fifteen minutes? A piece?” Jaxx nodded. “Well, hell! There was a time when we, each, could hold a cloak for several hours, at least!” Stan looked to Gem. “You know? You have a damn smart mate!”
Jaxx grinned, as he turned to look at her, too.
“Oh, yeah!”
“That'll work,” Gem had not heard them. “It has to! All I need is few seconds to grab the book! But, where are we headed after that?” To herself, she muttered, “So glad Lola isn't here!”
Stacy spoke up with an idea, and didn't know why she hadn't thought of it before?
“Great idea, Stacy. It’s secluded and off the radar!” Taylor exclaimed. To Jaxx and Stan, she asked. “And, if you can't hold the cloak?”
“We’re fucked?” Rick interjected.
“Exactly,” Taylor answered. Man, they so needed to get a new end line!
Eloran and Delinear were trying to figure out their next move, but neither of them had a clue how to proceed. Eloran paced back and forth on the sand. Delinear was still having trouble believing that a little slip of a girl was able to penetrate her Vorc'ara. She just couldn't believe it! And, it rankled. How in the hell was she able to do it?
“I don't get it! How?” she mumbled to herself, as Eloran passed in front of her. He stopped.
“What?” he inquired.
She looked up, and shook her head.
“I just don't get it? No other Anaerris can breech another's Vorc'ara!” she muttered for the umpteenth time, since they had traveled to an odd looking world where the grass was pink, the sand was crimson, the ocean was purple, and the sky was green.
“Will you stop worrying about that?” Eloran almost yelled at her. While he didn't exactly yell, it was as if his voice just bounced off a wall that dampened sound. Their voices didn’t carry further than their words, and in order for them to hear each other, they had to shout.
Delinear had had enough! It was time she called Eloran by his real name – that being his first name was “Jack”, his middle being “Ass”, and last name “Hole”!
“Look Jack, you overindulged son-of-a-bitch! I need to know how she did it, because it can mean the difference between succeeding and not! Seriously? All you care about is shoving that stick up Jaxx's butt!”
“Bitch!” Eloran growled, yanking her body to his. He ground his hard erection into her stomach as his mouth crashed down onto hers. Delinear groaned loudly feeling his hardness, and pushed her pelvis hard against him. He lifted his mouth off of hers.
“I want to fuck,” he demanded.
Delinear felt the wetness between her legs at the words,
and slowly backed away from him. With a thought, their clothing disappeared. A thick quilt appeared underneath their feet, and she laid down, knees up, and spread apart for Eloran to see. Eloran dropped between her legs, and Delinear watched his head disappear between them as he assaulted her wet sex with his tongue. Delinear cried out in pleasure as she felt his tongue circling her clit, diving in and out of her entrance. She grabbed his head, and pushed it even closer to her.
Eloran had never found total satisfaction with Delinear, nor she with him, and both had no qualms about fucking other women and men. However, Delinear was as close as possible to being sated as he could get in between. He had a penchant mostly for human females, but his evil was massive, and many human females did not survive his lust. He would fuck them so hard, they would die, bleeding to death. Their bodies were frail and could not hold up to his desires. Then, he would discard their bodies as if they were trash. Those few who did manage to survive were never the same, again. He destroyed their ability to have sex, as well as their ability to have children. And, that just gave him pleasure! And, most, eventually, committed suicide, because they couldn't live with themselves, and their damaged bodies.
But, with Delinear, he could be as rough as he wanted, and she could do the same to him. Their coupling was hard, fast, and their claws drew blood. Afterward, Delinear sighed in semi-contentment – blood oozing over her large breasts from the gashes that he cut into her body, while Eloran panted in his short-term satisfaction. In seconds, he rolled off of her, and their bodies immediately healed showing no cuts whatsoever.
“Good thing our bodies heal, considering the fact that human bodies cannot,” Delinear gasped, her hands spreading their blood all over her body seductively. She, too, took human males many times, leaving with the same devastation as did Eloran. She, too, destroyed the mens' ability to father a child. She turned, and slid over Eloran's own blood covered body, rubbing against his still hard erection.
“More?” she grinned, as she placed her opening on his tip.
“Yes! We'll figure everything out afterward. Fuck me!” he yelled, and slammed up inside of her, letting his debasement loose on her body. As he pounded his cock into her, his thoughts went to the Jewel of Anaerris, and all the powers that would be at his command if he owned her! Even with his eyes never having beheld her, he desired her more than any woman he had ever met. It literally fueled his lust higher than ever before, and Delinear screamed in pleasure. Rage gripped him as he realized that he would just have to be satisfied with Delinear, until he had the Jewel underneath him! He deserved that power! Certainly not that tiny slip of a girl! As his balls squeezed, both he and Delinear screamed out their release. His erection burst forth with his seed, and he knew that nothing, not even his own mate, nor the Jewel and her mate, could stop him from obtaining it! He would have her body and her power!
Twenty minutes later, the two SUV's drove up to the library.
“Why don't Taylor and I just use the keys to get into the library? Remember? We can just walk inside the building? And...I mean...if necessary, we can use a Vorc to escape. After all. We do work here, and we have them,” she grinned, swinging the keys from her index finger. “If we don't open a Vorc, maybe it will take longer for Delinear to find us? If so, then we can buy time just by using the key.”
Everyone gaped at her.
“Well,” Jaxx smirked, “I feel sheepish!”
“Really? That’s what you have, Jaxx? A line out of 'Aladdin'?” Gem laughed along with everyone else.
Something so simple had never occurred to most of them! Taylor and Gem quickly walked up the stairs, unlocked the doors, and went into the building, followed on their heels by both Stan and Jaxx. That left Stacy and Rick driving each of the SUV's, or as Gem said, they were driving the “getaway cars”!
Jaxx and Stan stood guard outside the building while, Gem and Taylor entered the library. When Gem started to flip on the main lights, Taylor grabbed her hand and shook her head.
“Let’s not give anyone a cause to suspect something is wrong here, Gem. Here’s my flashlight. Do you think you can find it just using it?” she asked Gem quietly.
Gem merely nodded, and took the flashlight, since she had forgotten. Sweeping it side to side to aid her walking, she turned back to Taylor who was standing guard at the door. Gem found the CCR room, unlocked it, and entered the room. Quickly, Gem dropped to her knees, and fumbled a moment as she pulled out the books that hid the precious book. In seconds, she had the Anaerris Code, and left the room, making sure the door closed without a sound behind her. Once she reached Taylor, they left the building, and the four quickly ran down the steps, springing into the waiting vehicles. Then, driving like bats out of hell, both SUV’s headed straight for the border of the town. Once they reached it, they kept on driving. The plan was to head for the remote location, where Stacy's family had a cabin, deep in the wilds of Colorado.
“Anyone hungry?” Rick asked. Nodding their heads in his direction, he called the other SUV, and while they also agreed, they decided to drive as far as possible, before stopping to grab something to eat. When they arrived, they would pick up some food. Even though it was remote, there was a small, general store close to it.
Little did they know that they had just missed Delinear and Eloran arriving at the library.
“Well? Where are they?” Eloran demanded.
“Hell if I know!” she answered.
“I thought you said you heard its call?”
“Yeah, I did.”
“So, Bitch! Why isn't it here?” he growled, and grabbed her arm.
Jerking her arm out of his grasp, she added.
“It's not an exact science, you nimrod! I only feel a draw to it, and it's usually a delayed response! I've told you this before, so don't pretend you don't know what I'm saying,” she growled, seeing his scowl grow in irritation.
“And, now?”
“I don't feel it at all. It's as if it never was!” Delinear shook her head in bewilderment. It wasn't often that she felt this way.
“But, why? Why can’t you feel it? Seriously? I thought you had this all worked out, you fucking whore!”
If look could kill at that moment, Eloran would have dropped dead right there with Delinear’s eyes staring daggers at him.
“Do not ever call me a ‘whore’, again, you bastard!” she warned him. Then, continued. “How in the hell should I know?” She stomped toward the door to the library. “Maybe it was hidden?”
Ignoring Eloran, she started to cross the threshold – and ran right into a “wall”! She was thrown backwards, down the steps, landing on her back. Sitting up, she rubbed her neck.
“What the fuck?” she asked.
“What the hell was that?” Eloran demanded, not bothering to help her to her feet.
She shook her head.
“I don't know, but there is one thing I do know!” She pointed toward the library. “That building is not what it appears to be! The book was in this area. I’m sure of it! But, now it isn't, and I can't get a read on it at all!”
“That is unacceptable, Delinear. I suggest you get off your ass, and figure out what is going on! I need that book, and I need the Jewel. I need them to take over this world!”
“And, I need the crystal! The only way to take it over is to kill every single inhabitant on it by Terraforming!” Delinear added, seeing Eloran nod once. A thought occurred to her.
“Could the invisibility of the Onaerris cloak it, so I couldn't read it?”
“Shit!” Eloran gritted his teeth. “Yes, it’s possible!”
“Well, that's just perfect, isn't it! Let's get the hell out of here! I need time to concentrate, and I won’t be able to do it here!” Delinear told him, and opened a Vorc'ara.
Both went through it, and back to the world they had just left. Once there, he pulled her into the purple ocean. His anger was so great that he pushed his cock deep into her body with one, hard thrust, and she gladly accepted it.
&nb
sp; As they began to climax, he let her know that he would be doing this to the Jewel.
“Rape her, will you?” Delinear gasped, feeling his thick, long cock deep inside her body.
“Yes!” he cried, as he felt his seed spill into her.
“And, I will rape Jaxx!” she cried out, feeling his hot semen flood her womb.
Walking from the water, they collapsed onto the sand. Eloran suckled her nipples, before he answered her. His head came up, and stared into her eyes with great lust.
“You can’t rape the willing, Delinear! He will be willing. But, she will not – at first. But, she will! I have something she has never seen before, or felt! Then, we will fuck them together as we lay side by side with each other!” Eloran whispered against her breasts.
The vision excited them even more as the tension built between them once again, and she straddled his cock. She stroked her wetness against his hard length, feeling his hands and claws dig into her breasts, while hers dug into his massive chest. She impaled herself onto his hard cock.
“Yes!” she cried, feeling the blood run down their bodies as their orgasms climaxed.
The rest of the night was spent driving in silence, before they reached Stacy's remote cabin. It was so far off the beaten track with all the turns and twists on the back roads, the only person who wasn't lost was Stacy. She and Stan were in the first SUV leading the way, while the other four were in the second one. They had agreed that Gem needed as many around her as possible for protection. During the drive, more than once, Gem had felt the book sigh in contentment at being in her hands. She didn't understand how, but it told her that she belonged to it. She constantly stroked it gently. It was so obvious that it felt safe and secure – until it completed its mission, which was to transfer it’s power to her. Including the fact, she was even more surprised that it was self-aware.
