Chapter 2: Friends and Mischief
"How am I supposed to do that?" asked Ambrosia in a bit of a panic. Jaina telling her that she would have to withold sex from Edward was not what she expected Jaina to say to her.
"Make something up, I know you can. Headaches, work, you don't feel good, anything will do. But he's not allowed to have what's mine. That fucker isn't worth the shit bucket his brains were born in." Jaina scoffed.
"Fine. Then we need an excuse." Ambrosia approached Jaina expectedly.
"We?" she asked, raising one eyebrow with a bemused expression on her face.
Ambrosia nodded. She could tell Jaina was amused by something. But her mind was on the problem at hand. She had to find a way to keep Edward at bay. Not that they had sex every night anyway mind you. Sometimes she got laid once a week. Sometimes it was once every couple of weeks. Having just had such a failed encounter today, perhaps it would be a while before he tried again. She did have a bit of time, more than likely, before she would have to come up with anything. But still she looked to Jaina firmly for some help in this area.
"Yes, WE. If you want him not to touch me, then you have to help here. And what is so damn funny?" Ambrosia asked
"You are standing there stark naked, trying to scold me into helping you. And I'm laying here, stark naked letting you." she let out a bit of a laugh. For that was exactly the situation. Ambrosia shook her head and laughed slightly.
"You're awful." she scolded playfully.
"But still." Jaina said as she sat up, looking serious for a moment. "No matter what you tell him, he will eventually try to just take what he wants. I will have to help you put a stop to that. Because we know he won't attack you, you'd throw him all over that house. But he will try to use your guilt against you. He will probably try to shout and command you as well. I need to give you some protection." Jaina stood quickly then and walked over to her dresser, opening the top drawer. She produced a small necklace with a golden charm and then reached up and gripped a single strand of her own hair, yanking it out. She walked over towards Ambrosia who looked at her curiously.
"What are you..." she started, and then yelped as Jaina did the same to her. Pulling a strand of her hair out of her head. Ambrosia rubbed her head as she watched Jaina work. Jaina entwined the two strands of hair and grabbed the necklace, setting it on the bed. As she finished entwining the strands she started to speak. Words that seemed to echo themselves, as if more than one person was speaking as she spoke them. It was always really cool to watch Jaina cast a spell. The two strands of hair began to glow, and Jaina lowered them to the locket as she spoke. Ambrosia watched as the hairs fused with the golden charm. She was imbuing the necklace with some kind of magic, but Ambrosia didn't know what. She wasn't schooled in the arcane. She knew not to speak until Jaina was done.
Jaina then took the necklace, and walked over to Ambrosia. Looking her up and down and grinning, but motioning for her to spin around. Ambrosia did as she was instructed, and getting what was going on, she pulled her hair up. Sure enough Jaina wrapped the necklace around Ambrosia's neck and clasped it. Then she planted a gentle kiss at the base of the back of her neck.
"There. This charm will let me feel when you're upset, or in danger. I can scry you, see what's happening, and come to your aid if you need me. But it also has a second function. The necklace has a spell upon it that you can unleash if you need it. It's a blast of force that will project forward from you when you activate it. Good for knocking anyone on their ass." she said with a wink.
"The chant for activating it, requires you to touch it, and say Ti En Vey." But don't do it here please." Jaina said with a smile as she looked to Ambrosia.
"Thank you Jay." Ambrosia said quietly.
"Jay huh? Asked Jaina. Nobody had ever given her a pet name like that. Not even her brother, with as close as they were. How they grew up together, but they still called each other by name. It was a pretty big deal to Jaina for someone to give her a gentle name like that. It meant a lot to her. A tear slid down her cheek slowly. Jaina looked to Ambrosia, who had a curious look on her face.
"I like it." Jaina replied with a smile.
Ambrosia leaned forward and gave her a gentle kiss, a quiet lingering kiss. Jaina blushed bright red as the kiss ended. The two of them are just looking at each other, in a small moment of knowing. Jaina reached down and grabbed her hand, holding it gently. She spoke very quietly.
"No one has given me a pet name like that before." Jaina said lightly
"Glad I'm the first." Said Ambrosia with a grin.
"You know, my job here will be done in a month or so." Jaina replied quietly.
"Yes I know. You've been training the mage for this guild hall for a year now. Are you planning on going back home to Windamere? Or... staying here?" Ambrosia asked a bit nervously. Her hand was gently running over Jaina's. Hoping Jaina would stay here with her, all that was back home for her anyway was her brother. Jaina had started this, now of all times. Jaina wouldn't leave her now. Right?
"I plan on going back home." she said quietly. Ambrosia's shoulders slumped. This was just to be a fling? When she thought they had a friendship that would last, and now something more. How could she? The hurt and rising anger showed in her eyes as she peered into Jaina's eyes. Searching for the answer to her question. All she had was family back home, here she had a life, a friend, a lover. Then Jaina's next words hit her like a ton of bricks.
"And I plan on taking you with me." whispered Jaina.
Ambrosia stood there, stunned, and silent. Jaina wanted her to leave White Harbor. All the way down to Windamere. White Harbor was a port city on the north west side of the northern continent.
Windamere was on the south west side of the southern continent. It would put so much space between her and her past.
He
would never find her. Jaina would never take her there just to leave her on her own. They would have adventures there too. She knew it. She didn't know how, but somehow she knew it.
This was great news. Her eyes shone with happiness and joy. Jaina saw the look on her face changing from anger to happiness and she smiled. Ambrosia wrapped her arms around her friend and held her tightly. She felt Jaina's nipples hardening against her own and she let go of her friend, wiping a happy tear from her eye and shaking her head.
"Ok, I have to get home before dumbass thinks I'm out with some other guy. And if I stay here too much longer I won't leave tonight." Ambrosia joked with a smile.
"That's not a bad thing." winked Jaina
"It is if you want to torture that idiot. You want to hurt him the way he hurt me. Then we keep his ass oblivious. Keep him thinking I'm his, so that when I leave it will break him. Hell as far as I care at this point, we can tell him we have an adventure and let him wait for me to come back when WE leave this town behind for good." she said in a deep breath, she felt her nipples getting hard from the look Jaina was giving her. Jaina wanted more. In truth so did Ambrosia. She wanted to make love to Jaina until morning. The thought made her wet, and she shook her head.
"Where are my clothes?" she asked, Jaina having a smirk on her face. This was going to be fun.
