The Ravens #1- Siege at Mermaid Beach
10:45 am
Mermaid Beach
Island Nation of Xenobia
Looking to the Indian Ocean on a clear sunny afternoon, Vanessa Vander, a 5'9, 34-24-34 woman in her early thirties with long wavy dark brown hair, walks naked on the sandy grounds of the clothing-optional Mermaid Beach wearing only her sunglasses and a layer of sun tan oil on her entire body. The tanned and toned muscular features of tall blond naked man is immediately noticed by Vanessa as he runs and dives into the calm waves of the water.
After a week of grading papers, Vanessa begins to welcome the pleasant distractions the beach offers as she discreetly observes the nude Adonis swimming further outward. She hopes he doesn't swim to far and risk drowning, but quickly foresees it as an opportunity to play lifeguard for him. Sudden yelling nearby rudely interrupted further thought of this scenario.
"Get lost, you creep." Yells a female voice.
Vanessa turns his sight to the source of the yelling and sees from a short distance four young naked girls on a beach blanket defensively covering themselves as they are blatantly ogled through the camcorder of a man in his early twenties in blue running shorts and white sneakers.
And I was hoping an uneventful day.
Vanessa thinks as she walks over.
As Vanessa gets closer, she recognizes some of the girls from her class. The man with the camcorder continues to view and record the naked students despite their obvious objection.
"Turn that camera off, asshole." Demands a mocha-skinned 18 year-old girl, furiously throwing aside her towel as she stands up.
"Yeah, show those tits, babe." Cheers the cameraman as if he is oblivious to her distain.
"Tracy, what's going on?" Vanessa asks as she nears her student.
In response, the cameraman turns the camcorder to Vanessa, centering on her oil-covered breasts.
"Hey, Professor Vander." Tracy greets. "We're just minding our own business when this asshole starts filming us."
"What?" The cameraman questions with a near hostel attitude. "You have no problem walking around bare-ass naked for everyone to see."
"Maybe it's your people skills." Vanessa suggests, tossing aside her sunglasses as she walks to the cameraman. "Now turn that off."
The cameraman takes a few steps back from Vanessa, lowering the camcorder to her recently shaved vagina. "Come on, show me your ass." Frustrated by the further objectifying, Vanessa grabs the camcorder and tries to pull it away.
"Let go, bitch." Orders the cameraman.
"I think you should let go." Vanessa advises.
"Hey, asshole." Tracy calls to the cameraman as she takes a few steps back. "I'd listen to her."
"What are you gonna do, bitch?" spats the cameraman.
Vanessa only replies with a small smile. Still struggling to retrieve his camcorder the cameraman, Ted Kenmore from Anaheim, California, notices the unusual and rapid increase of heat from Vanessa. Then to his shock he sees flames to take form on Vanessa entire body, causing him to let go of the camcorder to back away. The fire emanating from Vanessa's body suddenly intensifies, Ted falls backwards on the sand by this. Looking up, he sees the woman who a minute ago thought was another naked woman waiting for her inhibitions to recorded for his friends to appreciate now standing consumed in fire with her hair now pitch black flowing from the waves of heat.
"Oh, shit!" says the shocked cameraman. "You're Fire Angel!"
In a few seconds, the flames dissipate, returning Vanessa to her human appearance. She tosses the smoldering lump of plastic between the cameraman's legs.
"You fucking bitch!" yells Ted. "Why the fuck did you have to do that?"
"Vanessa." A familiar female voice calls.
Vanessa looks to the direction of the voice, upwards. Looking up to the sky, she sees an unclothed 5'7, 35-24-33 Asian female with black shoulder-length hair in her early twenties descent towards her, carried through the air by white feathered wings. Gracefully landing on her feet, Isha Hoang a.k.a. Nightingale walks to her naked colleague.
"I saw you flame up." Says Isha. "Anything wrong?"
"That bitch melted my camera." Yells Ted.
"Take your camera and go or I'll burn your shorts off." Orders Vanessa.
"Yeah, you'd like to see what I got under this, don't ya?" boosts Ted as he stands up.
"Fine then, show us." Dares Isha walking to the man in blue shorts. "I mean Delilah made this is a nude beach so people would have a place to shed their inhibitions." Isha stops in front of Ted with a stern look. "So why don't you get naked with the rest of us and show us what you got."
"Yeah, you mean that?" eagerly asks Ted.
"Yeah." Answers Isha. "Or you could leave with some dignity because I don't think your package will be impressive enough. But if it is, then you would have gotten rid of those shorts as soon as you got here."
Ted pauses for a few seconds as he processes Isha's statement, which takes while longer than most men. "Fuck this." He says and walks pass Isha. "I should've figured it was a waste of time going to an island run by women."
"Well, if you're not pleased with your stay in Xenobia, complain to Delilah." Says Vanessa.
******To be free from the distractions of nude bodies running around her, Cassie Sawyer, a 5'3 nineteen year-old girl with her light brown hair tied back sits at the shady back of the Mermaid's Smoothie Shack to focus on reading her paperback book while sucking back her banana smoothie. Being in a nearly isolated spot, Cassie feels less self-conscious as she did when she sat at the front of the shack in her baggy denim overalls and pink t-shirt.
"Hey, Cassie."
Cassie looks up from her book to see Vanessa and Isha walking to her.
"Oh, hey." Cassie softly replies.
