Chapter 12 : Noon
Fiona and Kianna stood completely frozen as they stared at Anton. After a long moment of stillness they slowly looked at each other. Their eyes went wide in panicked realization as their ears pointed themselves straight upwards. Without a word they both exploded out of the tub on either side of Anton and began to stumble and fall as they tried to make a clumsy dash for the door.
Anton sighed as he snapped the fingers on his right hand.
The wave of bathwater that was about to land on him suddenly stopped moving forward and began to drift aimlessly through the air. The two dark elves both cried out in a panicked confusion as their feet slipped out from underneath them and they suddenly found themselves floating weightlessly above the tiled floor.
"W-what the Hell!?" cried Fiona as she flailed her limbs in an attempt to remain upright, despite her efforts she ended up floating upside down above Anton "Wha, what is this!?"
"This, is an ability I call "Quantum Break" it's a spell that allows me to manipulate the gravity in the area around me. ...It's also more proof that you've never really stood a chance against me" said Anton as he grinned up at the clearly uncomfortable dark elf "Don't worry, it's not going to hurt you. Unless I decide to turn it off and you fall. That, of course, will probably hurt you"
Fiona's eyes widened even further as she froze her movements and made a tiny fearful sound in the back of her throat.
"This is so cool!" marveled Kianna as she playfully waved her hands through the floating water "How are you doing this!?"
"Ah, well, it's kind of embarrassing for me to admit, but I can't really explain it that well because I don't fully understand the mechanics behind it myself" admitted Anton as he watched the dark elf make balls of water with her cupped hands and then try to bite at them "I learned this skill when a Voidling, a flatwoods to be exact, sucked my consciousness into the Void and tried to absorb me. I was able to get the upper hand on him and somehow learned a few of his abilities during the exchange. This is one of them"
"...Are you serious!?" exclaimed Fiona as she curled herself into the fetal position and clutched her stomach "So you don't even know how this shit even works!?"
"No, not really" said Anton as he folded his hands behind his head and gazed up at her "I know how to control it in the sense of turning it on and off and manipulating the intensities. But to say I understand how it works in anyway beyond that... Nope, no idea!"
"That's so crazy!" laughed Kianna as she twirled in a circle "Wait! Are we really gonna fall when you turn it off!?"
"No, I'm not gonna let you fall!" declared Anton as he smiled at her instant relief "I'll turn it off slowly so you'll just float down. Don't worry, you're perfectly safe"
"This is not safe!" cried Fiona as she clamped her eyes shut in an effort to fight back against her growing nausea "This is stupid! I hate this!"
"I love this! This is fun!" cried Kianna as she bobbed herself up near the height of the ten foot ceiling and looked down at Anton "...It is kinda weird though!"
"Oh, I don't know about weird!" laughed Anton as he settled back and crossed his legs at the ankles as he lounged in his chair "Personally! I think there's something sexy about the sight of two, naked, lady dark elves floating through space! I could watch this for hours!"
Kianna stopped short as her eyes went wide and her ears pointed themselves straight upwards.
"S-sexy?" she questioned as she absently pressed her shoulders and palms against the ceiling and stared down at Anton "...Really?"
"Well yeah!" grinned Anton "It's hard to beat a sight like this! Lots of angles you don't normally get to see! I'm having a hard time even blinking since I don't want to miss anything!"
"...Oh!" said Kianna as a slight grin took shape on her face "...Really!"
Anton cocked an eyebrow as Kianna smirked at him and folded her ears back so their tips were pointed down and away from her head. Bending her legs upwards, she twisted her waist just enough to hide her sex behind her thigh and folded her arms over her breasts to shield them from sight. Turning slightly to the side she laid herself back against the ceiling and grinned demurely as she arched her back and posed herself for Anton's attention.
"...Oh! Well now!" rumbled Anton as he tightened his eyes and smiled back up at her "Is my little dark elf feeling playful all of a sudden!?"
Kianna continued to twist herself to the side until she was essentially laying with her belly against the ceiling. Bending her legs back over her bottom and heavily arching her back and neck until she was bent into a crescent shape, she looked down at Anton and smiled at him while chewing on her lower lip.
"...I don't know!" she teased as she mashed her still hidden breasts together with her folded arms and shifted her shoulders back and forth "...Maybe!"
"Are you shitting me!?" snarled Fiona as she glared up her sister "What the fuck are you doing up there Kianna!?"
Kianna's playful expression shifted to one of irritation as she narrowed her eyes at her sister.
"Nothing!" she declared with a huff "I'm just playing around!"
"Oh! You're just playing around!" mocked Fiona as she clumsily swam through the air towards an empty towel rack that was mounted to the wall "Just playing around, with an asshole! Who just said he wants to enslave you! Nothing wrong with that though! Right!?"
Kianna stared at her sister for a moment before looking off to the side and twisting herself away from both her and Anton.
"Ugh! I wanna get down now!" groaned Fiona as she grabbed hold of the towel rack and hugged herself to the wall before clamping her eyes shut "Please!"
Anton sighed as he stood up from his chair and walked over to Fiona.
"If I stick you back in the tub are you going to try to run away again?" he asked as he folded his arms over his chest "Or will you promise to be a good girl and stay where I put you!?"
Seething, Fiona pressed her forehead against the wall and growled in frustration.
"...I'll be good!" she snarled through her teeth "I promise!"
"Hm, and what about you?" asked Anton as he looked up at Kianna.
The second dark elf was still floating up near the ceiling and was looking off to the side with an intensely thoughtful look on her face. After a moment she glanced down at Anton and nodded her head.
"Alright then" said Anton as he plucked a floating bathmat out of the air "Just give me a minute"
Using the bathmat as a combination of a shovel and a fan, Anton moved all the floating water back into the tub before turning back to the dark elves.
Fiona had curled herself back into the fetal position as she kept her death grip on the towel rack. While Kianna, despite the somber attitude she had only a few moments ago, had begun to happily practice free spinning somersaults as she continued to float around the room.
Anton chuckled as he smiled up at her and the gleeful dark elf quickly turned away from him as an embarrassed blush spread across her face.
With a smirk still on his own face, Anton walked up to Fiona and shook his head at her.
"Are we still ready to get down now?" he asked.
"Yes!" exclaimed the dark elf as she frantically nodded her head "Please!"
