CHAPTER 6 - SACRIFICE
Serenity woke facing the wall. It took her a few seconds to gain her senses, before last night came flooding back to her and she panicked, quickly turning in bed. She felt instant relief as she saw Espin sleeping silently next to her.
She smiled. Her body ached from last night's exertions. It ached in places it had never ached before and her smile widened. She studied Espin as she lay facing her on her side. She was so pretty it felt almost unreal. She reached out and brushed her long blonde hair behind her cute pointy ear.
The covers were just over her hips and Serenity couldn't help but look over her slender body. Her slender neck, small pert breasts, and thin waist. She followed the contours of her hips under the light sheets.
"Enjoying the view Red?" Espin said, in a soft voice. Serenity's eyes flicked up to meet hers. Espin smiled.
"It's not bad," Serenity replied. Her face reddening a little.
"If we're going again you have to go easier on me," Espin said. "I don't want bits dropping off." She ached too, but a good ache. One of satisfaction.
"We definitely don't want that," Serenity said, leaning in for a kiss. Espin responded by leaning in too. They shuffled together, pressing into each other. Espin draping her leg over Serenity and pushing her pelvis into her. Her bare leg pressed between her legs. Serenity pulled her head back.
"We should probably get up," Serenity said. "They'll be wanting to talk to you."
"Not yet," Espin said. "You've got to show some more of those tricks you do with your tongue." Espin felt her heart skip at Serenity's smile.
"If I must," Serenity said. They kissed hard and passionately. Serenity ran her hand over Espin's body to her firm ass cheeks and squeezed. Her hand slid between her ass cheeks and then between her legs. She pushed a finger into her. "So wet already."
"You fucking bet I am Red," Espin said. Pushing her hips back, forcing Serenity's finger in deeper. Espin then rolled over on top of Serenity, her body pressing between her legs, forcing them open as she pressed her bony pelvis into her. Serenity moaned as Espin kissed her from above.
They kissed for a while. Espin gently rocking herself into Serenity, making her moan. Espin moved, sitting up and spreading her own legs and arranging their limbs so she could press her own wanting pussy against Serenity's.
She pushed herself into Serenity, grinding her pelvis into her, their engorged pussy lips pressing together. They both moaned together as their juices mixed.
Espin started rolling her hips whilst applying pressure. The pleasure for both of them was indescribable. They stared into each other eyes, occasionally one would shut theirs as the pleasure overtook them.
Both wanted the other to cum first, the act of giving the other pleasure was as important as their own. Serenity won, Espin reaching orgasm first. Her groans got louder and louder, and her body went tight as she started to shake. She still tried to keep grinding as she could hear Serenity was close too.
She didn't have to though. The sight of Espin cumming was enough for Serenity. Her beautiful face contorting in pleasure, her blonde hair flinging back as her body arched, pert breasts thrusts forward. Her body stretching and shaking, her perfect slender body. Serenity screamed out too, her body matching the shakes consuming Espin.
Their cum combined around their wet inner thighs as they twitched together, before both falling onto their backs as they rode their separate orgasms. They lay there for a while, their breathing heavy and ragged. Sweat and other liquids glistening on their bodies.
"Fuck," Espin gasped.
"Indeed," Serenity agreed.
Espin crawled up the bed and lied down next to Serenity. She took her hand.
They lay next to each other for a while, their fingers intertwined. They basked in the afterglow of their sex, savouring the moment. Both of them could have happily stayed like that forever, and if either of them had known the tragic future that awaited, they would have never moved.
It was cut short by a knock on the door.
"Espin. Serenity. There's someone here to see you both," Folell said from outside the bedroom door.
"Okay," called Serenity back. "Give us a minute." She jumped up, looking for her dress. She saw that Espin didn't move, she just stared at her as she moved around the room.
"Let's just stay here. You can bring that fine ass back to bed," Espin said. "I never did get to experience that tongue of yours again." She saw Serenity find her dress and start pulling it on over her head. Shame, she thought.
"You will later, I promise," Serenity said, a big smile on her face. "We have to get up and talk at some point." She found Espin's top and skirt and threw them at her. "You need to get that fine ass moving."
Espin sighed heavily, her face lost its spark as anxiety took over. "I'm worried I might lose control again," she said. "I'm not sure I can keep my anger in check. It's there now, just below the surface, I can feel it. In this room with you I can control it. You help me. But out there, when I see them, I'm not sure what'll happen."
"I'll be with you," Serenity said.
Espin thought for a second. "Promise," she said.
"I promise," Serenity said. She jumped on the bed, kneeling. She bent over and kissed her. "Now get up."
"Okay boss," Espin said. Rolling over and standing up. She put her short green skirt on and wrestled her green tube top over her head, covering her breasts, to Serenity's disappointment. Espin gave her wings a little flutter and then pulled on her thigh high brown boots.
They walked out of the bedroom and headed down the hall to the kitchen. Folell was sitting at the table, and leaning against the kitchen top was the lean and muscular Deilla. Head of the Elder Guards. She bowed her head slightly to Serenity and regarded Espin suspiciously.
"Morning Muscles!" Espin said. "If we had known it was you we would invited you to join us in the bedroom." She winked at her. Deilla's face tightened, she went slightly red. Serenity rolled her eyes.
"Espin!" Folell said. "Deilla had come with some troubling news you need to listen to."
"Don't make me regret coming here," Deilla added to the scolding.
"One of those days is it," Espin said sulkily. "Go on Muscles." Espin again admired the athletic body she had seen yesterday. Deilla had the look of a warrior. Wearing a brown leather skirt, high on her muscular thighs, and a shoulder less leather top. An impressive cleavage on view. Her top stopped just short of the waistband of her skirt. An inch of toned abs on view.
I bet she's got an impressive six pack, Espin thought. And Mother Earth those thighs could crack walnuts. Folell's voice broke her daydreaming.
"Deilla's come at great personal risk," the old nymph said.
"I shouldn't be here," Deilla said. "And I definitely shouldn't be telling you what I'm about to." This pricked Espin's pointy ears up. "Please don't make me regret it Espin."
"I'll try not to," Espin said. "But I'm well known for my disappointment skills."
"I guess that will have to do," Deilla said. She took a deep breath. She wasn't used to an audience like this. Her strength on the outside didn't always manifest itself inside. "I stayed on for a bit after everyone had left last night, tidying up. And as I left I heard some voices. I wouldn't normally pry, but the tone of the conversation piqued my interest. They were talking low and conspiratorial, so I moved closer to listen."
"It was Beryn and Sylver," Deilla continued. Espin and Folell shared a look. Beryn had always looked down on Espin. The two older nymphs were on the council with Folell. "They were discussing our visit a couple of weeks ago from a Hunter and her Watcher. They were looking for you." She was looking at Espin.
Espin looked at Serenity alarmed. "Did you know about this?" Espin asked. Serenity's face took on a look of hurt and Espin instantly regretted it. "Sorry. I just......"
"It's okay," Serenity said. She had learnt Espin's reactions weren't necessarily thought through. "Of course I didn't know." She turned to look at Deilla. "Who were they and what did they want?"
"I didn't know either," Folell got in quickly. "I wonder why I wasn't told."
"They were met outside of the village," Deilla continued. "One of my guards spotted them and went to Beryn, then she came to get me. By the time I had arrived introductions had been made so I didn't catch their names."
"What did they look like?" Folell asked. She had met quite a few Hunters in her time. They checked on the nymphs now again to make sure they hadn't run into any trouble.
"Two young women," Deilla said. "Not your usual Hunter and Watcher type. The Hunter was a skinny girl with long wavy brown hair, and her watcher, a pretty Indian girl with long dark hair. They looked new to the role, but I wouldn't underestimate them. I could feel the magic emanating from the Hunter, she is powerful."
"What did they want with me?" Espin asked, but she already knew. Her exploits had drawn her attention to them in the past, and she had got a few warnings. She was guessing now they had eventually had enough. They didn't usually fuck about when it came to disposing of demons or bad magical creatures. They couldn't risk the exposure.
"They didn't want to say," Deilla said. "Just said to contact them if they ever knew where you were. That's why I'm here, they've told them you're here."
"Oh no," Serenity gasped. Everyone knew the reputation of Hunters. "We have to get you out of here."
"It's okay. Don't panic," Espin said. Even though she felt like panicking herself. "It'll take ages. By the time they sent a messenger off, and by the time they get a message to the Hunters, and then they get here, I'll have a day or so."
"No you won't," Deilla said. "They sent a WhatsApp message."
"A what?" Espin asked. She thought she could guess. She had learnt a little about humans and how they communicated. Now the panic set in.
