CHAPTER 1 - REUNITED.
It was a warm day in the middle of June when Effy Greene stepped off the bus, finally having finished her training. She was now a new certified Hunter. It was just over a year since she had qualified with excellent results from the Ironside College of Sorcery. (About five weeks before she meets a certain nymph.)
The last year has become a blur of lectures and physical training. Straight after college they had wanted her to start. The same for Isha. They needed them for some reason. Needed more Hunters, and especially talented ones like Effy and her friend.
Effy was thinking of Isha as she walked. She could think of nothing else. The anxious feeling in her gut grew as she neared their new house. Not only were they moving in together, as that's what the Hunters Guild recommended, but it had been a while since she had seen her, they hadn't spent much time together in the last year. Both of them had been so busy, and they had been learning different crafts.
Effy was now a Hunter. Recruited to hunt down problem demons. Ones that were, either in the normal world causing harm, or risking the exposure of their secret world. Most were sent to harm normals or stir up trouble. Occasionally some were summoned by troublesome sorcerers, or very rarely summoned by the normals themselves. Usually by accident whilst messing with the occult. The latter usually came as a shock to said normal.
Isha had been trained as Effy's Searcher. Each Hunter had one to help them track down demons, and give information on how best to handle it when they found it.
The Hunters Guild were very hopeful of this new pairing. Effy had become a very powerful sorcerer over the last few years, and Isha was highly intelligent and picked things up quickly. As a Searcher student she had excelled in all of her exams, the same as Effy had done in her practicals. They were destined to make a great team. The Guild hadn't hidden this fact. It put a lot of pressure on them both.
Effy had more pressing concerns about their relationship. They hadn't been together that long, before they were torn apart for training. They had seen each other for a few days at a time, when rare breaks from their lessons had meant they could get together. These times had been great, and spent catching up after their time apart. Mostly spent in bed and curled up in each other's arms, after they had satisfied their need for each other.
Would it be different now, Effy thought. She knew she was being stupid but couldn't help it. They had shared a dorm together at college, with their friend Amy, so why should living together be any different. But it was, Effy thought. They were going to be spending nearly all their time together now, living and working together. It both excited her and terrified her.
"Stop being an idiot," she mumbled to herself. Surely the excitement she was feeling was all she needed to prove how she felt about Isha. Besides, if work didn't keep them busy, she had lots of erotic spells to keep them entertained. Effy smiled to herself.
A young man walking past smiled back, thinking the cute young woman was smiling at him. His eyes quickly took in her long wavy brown hair, her pretty face, and petite slender body. He couldn't help but look back at her pert ass in her black leggings as she walked on.
Effy blushed and looked down at the sidewalk, she walked faster. Her eagerness to see Isha growing.
She thought back to the Forbidden Book that had caused so much trouble in their last year of college, but also how much joy it had given her. She had made sure she had memorised as many spells as possible before handing in the cursed book. She had some new tricks she hadn't had the chance to show Isha yet. Her arousal grew stronger now as she neared the house and Isha.
She was practically running when she reached the street, and hurriedly searched the numbers for the right house. She jogged up the steps. She took a deep breath and rang the doorbell. She felt now as she always did when she was about to see Isha after a long period apart, very horny.
The door opened and every doubt that Effy had melted away. Isha was there, and beautiful. Effy dropped her bag and they embraced tightly, squeezing each other hard.
Effy stood back and admired Isha's dress.
"You look amazing," Effy said. Isha was wearing a simple Indian style long dress. White with a gold pattern across it. It hugged her slender figure perfectly. Effy liked the look. Isha normally wore purely western style clothing.
"My mum and dad gave it to me for my birthday," Isha said. "I thought I would make an effort." Effy smiled and kissed her deeply again. Isha let her in for a bit and then pulled back.
"You look great too," Isha said. "We should eat, you must be starving."
"I could just eat you," Effy said. Smiling, and blushing slightly.
"Effy Greene!" Isha said, laughing. "Control yourself." She took Effy's hand and pulled her through to their main room. It was a dining room, kitchen, and living room all in one, a big space decorated with a modern feel. Effy looked around, she liked it. Glad Isha had been here a few weeks already, and made it feel like a home.
"Thank you," Effy said, looking around.
"For what?" Isha said. She headed over to the kitchen and started finishing off the meal she had been preparing.
"For this," Effy said, waving her hand over the room. "For sorting this all out, for making it our home. You're going to make a good roommate."
"Thank you," Isha said. "Am I just your room mate am I?" She looked over her shoulder smiling.
"Sorry. I meant housewife!" Effy replied. Laughing.
"Cheeky bitch," Isha said. Laughing too. "Go and check the place out and I'll serve dinner."
"Thanks mum," Effy said. Laughing some more as Isha stuck her finger up at her. She went to check the place out, as told. She knew all was good, her fears allayed. She wanted Isha badly but it appeared she'd have to wait. She wasn't going to wait long though, she decided.
Isha was smiling too. She had been anxious too, but just seeing Effy again had been reassurance enough. She wasn't sure if she would make it through dinner either, but they needed to build their energy first. Everyone had to eat.
Effy came back just as Isha finished serving. Isha looked at her properly for the first time. She was so pretty, she thought. At 5'4", slightly shorter than Isha, she was petite and slim. Her long brown hair suited her perfectly. She had a tight white t-shirt, one that highlighted her small pert breasts. Her eyes traced over her thin waist and flat stomach. Then further down to her narrow hips and slender legs in her leggings.
"We better eat quickly," Effy said. "Because the way you're looking at me is making me wet."
Isha's eyes flicked up and she ever so slightly shook her head. "Sorry. Daydreaming," she said. "We should eat. Quickly."
"I agree," Effy said. "It looks and smells lovely. Thank you." Effy sat down.
"My pleasure," Isha said.
