Shadowsblade chapter 1 part 2
Over in the breakroom
Everybody is sitting down.
Bill looks at the monitors occasionally while he and Mike discuss what
tests to run on the patient next after she wakes. They can then get her
into rooms with better test equipment. Dr. Otto listens in and goes over
stacks of paperwork. Sir Wallace is tiring to keep up with the medical
discussion. Sir Wallace adds in that he would like to do a full arcane
exam and test on the young lady. As soon as he can, especially after
Aunghadhail said that Drows use magic differently than her and store
immensely large amounts of magic essence in themselves.
At a table across the room the three girls were sitting there. Gwen is
wolfing down mash potatoes and a large salad. Nikki is slowly eating a
small one. They are giggling and carrying on about stuff at school. Sara
is sitting there in a huff. As there is no food for her to eat here.
Nikki is starting to toss little tomatoes at Gwen from time to time in
the opening shots of a food fight. Sara sits there shaking her head
trying to stay out of the line of fire.
Bill and Mike with Sir Wallace are in the discussion too deep to notice
that the monitors stopped displaying information on the patient and the
sound was switched off so as not to disturb them as they worked.
Suddenly they hear a thump come down the hallway.
Bill's head snaps up "What the hell?" then turns to the monitors on the
wall and they are all flat-lined.
Bill mutters to himself "Stupid -stupid- stupid- I should have watched
the monitors all this time like a hawk!"
Nikki says "I think she just woke up-- as if she just woke up! that's
not a good sound!
Nikki's demeanor changes as Aunghadhail rises "Go down there with
caution gentleman. She might be enraged!" Bill looks at the redheaded
and just shakes it off. He's out of his chair like a shot, the papers
scattered off the table as he runs out of the room. Mike's hot on his
heels.
As Bill and Mike get to the intersection. Another crash is heard down
the hall from the room. This one sounds like wood and metal splintering
all over the room. At the junction Bill looks down the hall toward the
room and sees at the far end all 20 guards in the hallway guns at the
ready. A powered armor suit in startup mode. Guys suiting up in them.
Getting ready to go, from their alcoves. He turns and looks behind him
toward the other end of the hallway and the same is happening there.
Bill rounds the corner and sees. The guards standing at the door. The
door is closed and they have their guns drawn.
Just then a horrendous thud is heard from in the room, something major
just got tossed in the room and Bill slides across the floor up to the
guards. The guards are both looking at each other not knowing what to
do.
Gwen, Nikki and Sara come scooting up behind Bill with Sir Wallace
taking up the rear.
The two guards stop them from going in the room and they say "WE will be
going in first!"
Bill says "The hell you an't!--I am not going to have you fill up my
hard work full of holes before she even gets up and says one word!"
Mike grabs and shoves the guard on his side --away and Bill does the
same. Mike on the doors right side turns the knob slowly and opens the
door a crack. Then he opens the door the rest of the way--- slow.
The room is still dark. Mike looks at Bill "You want to turn the light
on. I can't see a damn thing in here?"
Bill says "Not yet --lets wait a bit and see what happens?"
One of the guards gets out a flashlight and starts to shine it in the
room. Bill slaps his hand down.
"Don't use that thing. I don't need you startling each other and you
blowing a hole in her!"
Dr. Otto says to the guard and Bill "A flashlight has a tendency to
upset people very fast, use the room lights or nothing."
Bill looks at Otto "Your the expert."
Both Bill and Mike look over the room as best they can. With the
available light from the hall, but they don't dare enter the room yet.
Bill looks over to Mike in the darkness "Well bud turn on the light
switch and lets see what we got in here" Mike turns on the light switch
and all the lights snap on in the room.
The room is just destroyed!! bits of the bathroom door all over the
floor.
The bed is flipped on its side and smashed long ways about 2 feet off
the floor with the mattress side to the wall. It's embedded in the
wall-- stuck fast into it!
Bill in shock whispers to Mike "That! hospital bed weighs at least 1000
pounds! She tossed it like it was nothing and its stuck IN! the wall."
"Hey Mike do you see her? I don't see her?" Bill whispers again.
Mike says "Is she in the bathroom??" and they look around some more.
Gwen squeezed between the two "She's in the corner-- She's under the
sheets, in the corner. I think I just saw her move."
Gwen looks harder -- "She is definitely there! She's under the sheet. I
can see a foot!!"
Bill asks Gwen "You sure?"
Gwen looks up at Bill --"Elf eyes buddy --I am sure!"
Nikki is about to say something and Sara slaps her hand over Nikki's
mouth then whispers in her ear "Don't say anything-- if there is anyone
in this room that can set her off--- it's you!! Just be quiet" she
whispers.
Sir Wallace says to Nikki after seeing what Sara did "Maybe you should
stay back. If she hears your voice in her condition it might set her
off, yet again.-- We've already seen that she does not like you" Nikki
nods back.
Bill whispers "Let me try something?"
Mike says back "Go for it."
Bill softly says "hey you"
Mike looks at him "What do you mean "hey you?"
Bill says again "Hey you senior"
Mike looks "What are you doing?"
"I was joking with the guy before about what is his real name and we
kind of joked that we need something for the paperwork. He said "hey
you senior" because "Hey you Junior" was taken."
Sara taps Gwen on the shoulder --Gwen jumps for a second "Gwen I know
this is a lot to ask, she did like you. Could you go in there and see
if you can get her attention?? She's under the sheet."
Gwen looks back at Sara, gulps at that question "Did you see what she
did to the bed?? like I said in the meeting room upstairs not an hour
ago--- squash me like a bug!"
"Your her friend too Sara" Gwen whimpers.
"Yes me and her have a lot of time in her mind. But I think your voice
is a lot more soothing than mine" Sara encourages the Elf.
Gwen moaned "I'll try it BUT if I end up dead. I'm haunting you!"
Sara looks at her "Idle threats- idle threats-I got enough ghosts
haunting me. To worry about little old you."
Gwen's starts walking in and she turned back to Bill--"Bill I forgot
something"
He says "What?" anxiously.
"What was that name we gave her?" Gwen voice quivers.
"It was "hey you senior" Bill whispers.
--"Okay- hey you senior- got it" she walks out slowly.
"Be careful Gwen" Bill whispers.
Gwen turns back to Bill as she's walking up on the huddled form in the
corner "She won't hurt me I'm not worried" --she thinks 'I hope.'
Gwen thinks to herself- I've seen this before. Girls at Poe in shock
from something or other. Especially the changelings, or the other
emotional problems that seem to come with mutating in your teenage
years. Anyone that graduates four years of living at Poe, has at least
a minor in psychology or is a de facto expert on the subject. After all
the meltdowns everybody has. Gwen has even been there herself more than
once.
"Hey you senior --it's the green haired elf" she says in this singsong
voice as she walks in.
She gets over to the pile of sheets, bends down, figures out where the
head is at.
Gwen gets down on her knees and sits next to her. She whispers "hey you
senior --you there?" The sheet just shakes a little bit.
She reaches over and pulls the sheet away from her face, thinks about
it.
"WOW!! --seeing you for the first time NEAT!! --your cute -- in all
seriousness I'm not just saying it--- your cute!"
She pulls the rest of the sheet back a bit and finds a newly minted elf
curled up in a ball with her legs up against her chest, arms wrapped
around them with her face buried in her knees, rocking back and forth
saying something.
Gwen looks at the elf and she sees her new friend is looking straight
across room. In shock obviously.
Gwen turns to Sara and whispers "Sara I think we are getting more into
your zone -- now-- she's in shock, she's not here, the lights on but
nobody's home."
Sara slips between Bill and Mike. Then starts walking slowly, but softly
over there to Gwen and the new elf are. Then she slowly sits down next
to both of them and touches the shoulder of the dark elf.
Sara says "I told you I would be here when you woke up. You should have
at least said something when you woke up. Did you go into the bathroom.
Get a good look at yourself and really freak yourself out?"
The dark elf does not respond-- She's just looking straight across the
room. Totally oblivious to anyone sitting next to her. Mumbling and
rocking slightly .
Sara touches her shoulder again then gives her a shake. Sara yells at
the dark elf.
"Look at me damn it!
I spent all that time with you!
Not talking to me-- that's bullshit!
You talk to me!
Your going to talk to me if I have to slap the crap out of you!"
Gwen says timidly "Don't get her mad!"
Sara yells "Gwen shut up!"
Gwen whispers in the elf's ear "Come on its not that bad. --We've all
gone through this. --Me, Sara, even N--" Gwen stops herself from saying
it --"Others too!"
She adds "What? --this is the easy part!"
Sara looks over the dark elf, lifting up the sheet and looking at her
"Everything looks pretty intact and healthy --no bruises or injuries
nothing I can see."
Sara noted to Gwen "She is saying something?"--"Gwen what is she saying?
Can you hear it?"
Gwen tells Sara "I can't make It out --she's mumbling too much."
Gwen hugs the dark elf, a Hug trying to get through to her and get
closer. She puts her head up to the side of her face. So she can hear
better.
Aunghadhail was trying to get a better look in to the room and she takes
charge of Nikki and she slips in to the room as Bill and Mike are no
longer standing completely in the doorway. Then she slid along the wall
going to the bathroom door. No one in the room seems to have noticed her
move since they where so engrossed by what Sara and Gwen where doing at
the time.
Sara pips in "Well?"
Gwen whispers "Give me an minute!"
Sara shakes the elf again --"Speak up! you got a voice use it!"
Gwen looks at Sara "She is saying --I'm a monster- over and over again
the same words hundreds of times-- that's all she is saying"
Sara YELLS at the dark elf "Your not a monster! Don't think that! You're
an elf of a valiant old race!! Your a freaking elf suck it up!"
Sara shakes the elf HARD!
Gwen says "Don't do that!! she's catatonic!"
Sara shouts "I gotta do something!"
Sara shakes her again --"Talk to me damn it!"
Nothing-- the elf just mumbles on --starring straight ahead.
"TIME for some tough love!!" Sara yells at her --THEN SLAPS THE DARK ELF
HARD across the face.
Sara shakes her again "You got people behind you--you got friends and --
-------
Just as Sara says that last word.
Aunghadhail does the world's stupidest thing--- She takes hold of Nikki,
pushes her back mentally-- and says "Please let me take over" in Nikki's
mind. Nikki says "Okay but Sir said be quiet"
Aunghadhail says to Nikki in their mind "I'm in charge!--I know what to
do!" Nikki relents and lets her have control---
The wheels of fate click in.
Aunghadhail says something stupid and as it echoes across the room.
"Is the child okay?"
Sara's look snaps across the room and just as she thinks in her mind --
To tell her mouth to say "shut up" to the stupid Queen------------------
- it's too late.
(in my world)
The next thing I know I'm under a sheet balled up in fear.
Thinking 'I'm a monster.'
My life is over --whatever life I had is over and I could hear the green
haired elf trying to talk to me I'm just not paying attention.
------ I don't care.
Then I hear Sara's voice and she's trying to talk to me.
I'm mumbling "I am monster" over and over again and they pulled the
sheet off my head.
I can see them, but I'm not looking at them.
I can see the guards standing outside the door, Bill and Mike by the
door. Someone else entered while I was paying attention to what Sara
was saying. While she was shaking me, trying to get through to me.
I was staring-- listening.
The one who entered! It's the redhead and she walked in the room. Behind
Bill and Mike and she's almost dead center the room. Along the far wall,
next to the bathroom and she said something!
"Is the child Okay."
Those Words Bore Straight through My Mind like a Lightning Bolt.
In my mind---the mean elf that I was battling for control of the body
STOP fighting!
We both pretty much nod in agreement to each other-- the fights over.
We declare a mental truce IN that split-second and we agree on one thing
working together to--
KILL THAT FUCKING ELF!
We are to confront her and then we are going to slit her throat!!
I snap out of my daze and think--'I can kill the elf--Get it done in 5
or 10 minutes and go back to wallowing in self-pity-- That's a goal we
can do.'
As the sound of her saying "is the child okay" goes across the room.
I spring up in one smooth motion.
It shocks everybody and I push Sara and Gwen out of my way. I brush
Gwen's hug on me and her off me like she does not even exist. I push
Sara across the floor.--They both go skittering across the room.
I Stride across the room with purpose, towards the redhead as I do
things happen and I have no control over.
The elf in me opens the door in my mind, to all that she knows --
THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM! are mine now---all of it!
How to do everything flooded back in my memory.
How to walk.
How to fight.
How to use a sword.
How to use my armor.
How to use all my magic.
Its is all there for me to use, its like a giant library opened up and
its all mine!
My Hard Dark Black Leather Armor manifest on me to cover my naked form.
A Sword POPS out of no where and flows out of the ether into my right
hand. A chosen sword. I know is gonna finish this job quick.
I cross the room. I have the sword pointed at the Redhead's Neck. As I'm
walking across the room. My eyes are aglow with ANGER in---Deep Red.
Time is slowed down I can see she's an absolute shock. Now that I'm now
standing up and coming toward her.
(What Aunghadhail-Nikki saw)
Aunghadhail says as she slides in the room and past Mike-- "is the child
okay"
She barely finishes saying it when. She realizes something! That she
might have overstepped her bounds.
BUT--she is Queen! She knows better than these humans! What one of her
subjects should be treated like!
As she's thinking that. The DROW stands up more like Springs! up -
straight up-- without even pushing off the wall. Knocking both Gwen and
Sara skittering across the floor.
The Drow takes two steps forward--her armor comes on--a sword POPS in
her hand.
Aunghadhail says "OH NO" and takes a step back.
Throws up a magic shield.
(back in my world)
I step forward towards the redhead.
I'm gonna murder her for sure. Its already in my mind.
I see her wave her hands and call forth magic in front of me.
I can see her pull the ley lines to form the shield spell.
I know what magic you do and I know this.
I know what spell she pulled up.
I really know it's weak and it's useless.
She may be powerful-- But she doesn't have those skills that a fighter
would have-- Not one of me-
-- A DROW!!!
I know-- I picked my weapon correctly. I smash the point into the shield
with ease and it splinters, cracks, shatters its smooth surface.
I reached forward through the sword with my own magic.
I rip the magic from her shield from around her. It flows down the sword
into me.
I drink up the magic essence FOR MY USE from now on.
I take another step forward and she backs up.--Her back is now to the
wall and I have her pinned.--The sword right to her throat. She whimpers
"Ghost Killer" as she sees the blade up close.
(In Aung's and Nikki's fear filled mind)
Aunghadhail says "OH NO" to Nikki in her mind. As the shield collapses
and she recognizes a sword. She whispers "Ghost killer"
Nikki says "What's that?"
Aunghadhail says nothing.
She can see --She can feel the terror from Aunghadhail for the first
time.
As her back hits the wall.
"Aunghadhail what!" Nikki wails.
"I am sorry child" Aunghadhail comforts Nikki
"I think this elf means to kill us.
I made a mistake.
I have overstepped my bounds.
I should have not said anything.
That sword is made for killing souls- spirits like me.
It rips the ghosts out of possessed people, like I have done to you.
It kills it instantly and destroys it completely.
Problem is young one, that sword accomplishes its goal by being sliced
through our neck.
It is going to kill you doing it.
I'm sorry--- I made a grievous error.
There is nothing I can do.
We will probably die today."
Nikki says sobbing "Aunghadhail what about magic?"
The Queen answers "She is too close. She has got her own shield. Her
armor is good and that sword shattered my shield in a split second. By
the time I get a spell up. She will run our neck through or have chopped
off our head.
She is too fast and I know it."
Nikki sobs crying inside --"What about the Banshee Wail ??"
The Queen tells her gently ..."Our Banshee Wail is very effective. But
this Drow will laugh it off, like it does not even exist. All it will do
is hurt your friends badly."
Aunghadhail consoles Nikki in her mind, for what is about to come.
(In my world)
I TOWER OVER THE SMALL ELF QUEEN
I have the sword at her neck the point just resting on its skin.
I am ready to drive it home and END THIS!
I Say to Her in a Voice That's a Combination of My Own a Little Bit of
the Dark Elf --
I SCREAM! AT HER!
You Did This to Us--
You Stole Our Lives--
You Took Us From Our Homes --
You Took Us From Our Families--
You Bound Us to Your Will--
You Made Us Slaves--
You Made Us Fight --
You Changed Us to This--
We Were at Your Beck and Call ---
Always on Your Orders Never Having One of Our Own---
You Did This to Us---
To Fight Your Battles --
NO Freedom Our Own---
NO Mind of Our Own--
We Would Assume Freely the Fight - If You'd Asked-- We Knew the Stakes!
You Never Asked----You Just Made Us Do It!
Thinking with agreement. The Dark Elf says same thing that I'm thinking.
Just stick the sword through her neck---kill this Queen!---The sword Is
made just to kill the ghost. So what if the young elf that is standing
here dies. We get the ghost that's all we need --REVENGE!
Kill--Queen Aunghadhail the Spirit. That's What We Want!
Sir Wallace Is standing in the door and the two guards are pointing
their guns at me. I wave them off mentally they are nothing! I know they
their guns are ineffective.
After I kill the Queen. I will kill them and leave this place!
Then the English Gentleman says something?? That burns through the
Bloodlust I am in.
He says "Don't shoot her! In her pretty little head. It won't do any
good. She's probably got a shield plus that armor."
Him saying that-- snaps my attention.
"Pretty little head?"
He thinks I'm pretty! Really? A human? Thinks I'm not a Monster?
Why a guy saying that to me---a male? Gets to me. I don't understand?
BUT!
He did say "Pretty" as in not a monster!
Instantly--- I snap out of the trance. The deep bloodlust I am in.
My eyes lose the red glow.
I realize what I'm doing. I was about to stick a sword through someone's
neck!! and I'm not sure. I 100% hate them?? or both of them??
'The sword how did it get my hand?' I'm thinking to myself and I drop it
-- It disappears, It vanishes in the nothingness.
I take a step back.
Then I'm saying "What's Going on?? What's Going on?? I Don't Get What I
Did? "
I step back towards the corner where I think it's safe.
I notice as I step back. I have Armor on?
As I look at it and say"--WHY?? how?? did this Happen?" It vanishes.
I finally back myself into the corner and the shock of all of this. --
The change. --This just now.-- Comes back over me and I slide down the
corner of the room to curl up in a ball. I grab the sheets and pull them
over myself to cover-up. I want to disappear.
Then the blackness takes me.
(from Sara's piont)
Sara and Gwen see Nikki come in the room and Sara is about to say "Shut
up" to the Aunghadhail. As she says "Is the child okay?"
Sara knew only Aunghadhail would not listen to her about walking in the
room.
The dark elf stands up in one motion and slaps her and Gwen sliding
across the room. Armor appears on The Drow. --she takes another step. A
sword POPS out of nowhere into her hand.
Aunghadhail makes her shield.
Its completely ineffective -The sword POPS through it in a second!! It
shatters it, the magic coalesces down the blade and into the dark elf.
That in turn drinks up its essence.
Aunghadhail says something she can't make out. She's pinned against the
wall. The newly minted elf is saying "You did this to us-- You bound
us-- We were slaves --You used us -Why and as the dark elf is saying all
these things.
Sara is trying to get her feet 'What am I going to do??' she thinks
'That dark elf has got the drop on Aunghadhail and there is nothing I
can do from here!'
She's thinking what to do and Gwen is stumbling to her feet behind her.
Sir Wallace says something "Don't shoot her in her pretty little head"
and that snaps the dark elf out of the bloodlust that she's in. She
steps back in shock, drops the sword not knowing what it is. The armor
disappears. Then she collapses in the corner and Blacks out.
Sarah looks around the room and it's quiet.
Gwen still trying to stand up.
Sara looks at everybody "What was that!!"
Sara looks at Aunghadhail and she can see that. Aunghadhail the "Queen"
not Nikki is scared for the first time she's ever seen.
The Queen is actually scared.
Sara looks over at Aunghadhail
"Aunghadhail what was that?"
It takes a split second for Aunghadhail to even notice that Sara is
talking to her.
Sara repeats again "What was that?"
Aunghadhail says excitedly "That was close-- that Drow meant to kill us!
She was a second away from killing us! I know it and she had the sword
to do it!"
Sara questions "What?? sword Aunghadhail?"
Aunghadhail is trying to regain her composure "That sword was
Ghostkiller it was made to kill spirits possessing a person. Its one of
the main things that you do with it." she stands there in thought for a
few minutes.
"I am sorry that I said anything I was out of place. This is where you
should have been. I thought I should have done something. Let me get
out of the room before she wakes up and goes on a bloodlust again at me"
and Aunghadhail walks out of the room.
The guards are standing there and have their guns pointed at the Drow on
the floor.
Sara look at them "Guys those pip-squeak pistols aren't going to hurt
her one bit. You could probably empty the mag and all its going to do is
piss her off. So why don't you just put them things away."
The guards look at each other.
Bill looks at both of them "Guys and I'm an ex-marine--yeah--I don't
think those guns are going to do one bit. She's an exemplar three?- with
who knows what regen level?? That we been able figure without doing a
full exam. Those guns aren't going to do nothing! Not a 9 mm not versus
that! You just gonna tick her off! look!"
He then points at the wall with a BED stuck in it!!
"Look what she did to the bed! She chucked a 1000 pound bed across the
room! Do you really think a little pistol gonna really do any good?" He
says sarcastically.
They look at each other as they put away their guns.
"There you go guys-- using your brains!" Bill says.
Sara looks to Bill "Is there another room we can use? This one
obviously, is kind of messed up now" she giggles.
"There is one right next door, identical to this" Bill answers.
"Well help me pick this elf up and let's get her in there" Sara huffs.
Bill says as he runs out of the room "Let me change the sheets quick"
"Make sure they are cotton!" Sara yells.
Bill mumbles "I know- I know elf allergies-- I read it" and he runs out
of the room.
He comes back a minute or two later with a pile of sheets under one arm
and says "You want to start carrying her in there now?"
Sara asked "Is there anything to lay her on?"
Bill says "Well --The bed?"
Sara looks at him like he's an idiot "Does the bed have a plastic cover
on it?" she says sarcastically.
Bill thinks "Oh yeah--lay her on a plastic cover she is going to?"
Sara chides him "-- yes-- exactly silly."
He runs into the Hall and she can hear him toss the room. Then he comes
back a couple minutes later.
"Thank god she is still out" Sara says as she helps Bill pick her up and
they drag her down the hallway.
One of the guards says "She should not leave the room."
Bill looks over his shoulder at the two guards "That's not a room
anymore. That's a disaster. I'm taking her to her new room."
Mike has been standing there pretty much dumbstruck by the whole thing.
Not knowing what to do.
Gwen is still getting her marbles together and stumbles out of the room.
Complaining about a hurt butt and other pains.
Sir Wallace is completely unfazed walks out of the room-- Gotta love
that British uppercrust.
Sara helps Bill get the elf into the bed. Then throws a sheet on top
her.
"Man she is still out" says Bill.
Sara looks to Bill "Wouldn't you be unconscious too?
You just woke up.
Your a dark elf.
Your girl.
You had the shock of your life.
You hear the voice of your sworn enemy across the room-- say something.
You whip out armor and a sword.
You try to kill her.
But you don't realize you're doing it. When you do realize it. That
you're doing it. You realize that. You just did something. You should
not be able to do!
Like pull stuff out of thin air!!
Don't you think you might pass out too?? For a while??
While your trying to reassess the situation?" Sara sasses at Bill
Bill nods his head "Yes I see your point!--so? What are we going to with
her in here?"
Sara quipped "Besides whatever she wants! I don't know? Lets wait till
she wakes up. Till then me and Gwen are staying here until she does!"
Sara turns, walks over to the desk. Grabs a chair then slides it over
next to the bed "I'm going to sit here until she wakes up!! That's it!!
I figure she will be up in a half an hour so, as soon as she has
finished an "adjustment" mentally then comes back to us."
A minute later Gwen comes walking the room and sees what Sara's doing
with the chair. She looks at Bill "Don't just stand there "Bill" Go get
me a chair!"
He looks at the small elf "Okay--I see you two are in charge now. I'll
go get that chair."
He walks out of the room and notices. Mike isn't around? He walks back
into the first room. Mike still standing there.
Bill walks up to Mike and starts snapping his fingers in his face.
"Earth to Mike, earth to Mike, come on back!"
Mike kind of snaps out of it.
"You okay buddy?" Bill asks.
Mike says slowly "W---o---w that was kind of-- intense---"
"Yeah -- would you get on the same page with everybody else? -- We are
on chapter 12 --I think you're still in-- like--- 9 maybe?" Bill jokes
at Mikes expense.
"Like-- a --yeah" Mike drools.
"Dude why don't you sit at the med center for a while and let your brain
catch up to this. I know it's not Doctor stuff?? But come on-- man--
you seen some combat in your life!! Don't tell me your having a
freaking flashback or something?" Bill asks from his near catatonic
friend.
Mike looks at Bill "I'm okay nothing like that--just--I've never seen
anything like that."
"Welcome to the club bud! You think I see this all the time working on
the floor ?? Your the mutation specialist I though that you would see
people burst into flames or who knows what else all the time!" Bill
adds.
He grabs a chair out of this room. Walks it over for Gwen to sit in.
Bill put it by the bed then Gwen sits down. She says "Thanks" and waits.
After a while I come to and I am laying back in the bed.
I open my eyes I can tell it's a different room. The size is different
by an inch or so and the paint color is different by 2 shades I can see,
with my new eyes.
I wonder why I am here ?? I sit up and Sara's next to me and she puts
her hand on my shoulder. She says to me "Lay back down, your okay, your
safe --are you okay?"
I lay back down at her insistence. I look at her "What happened?"
She says to me softly "You kind of--flipped out--basically!-- What do
you remember? Tell me and then I'll fill in from there."
I say "I remember---"
Gwen interrupts "Flipped out?! you freaked out!"
Sara spins around looks at Gwen and gives her the face of DOOM! "Shut
the hell!! up I'm working here!" Sara says through clinched teeth.
Sara looks back at me and says softly. As friendly as she can muster
"Continue-- everything's good."
I close my eyes "I remember getting up, getting out of bed, getting
kinda used to what this is" I wave my arms over my body "What I am now-
- I walked across to the bathroom" I stop and think --far too long --to
be normal.
She says "Continue --it's okay"
"I turn on the light, I looked in the big mirror in there" and I stop --
-I'm sitting there thinking --thinking.
Next thing I know Sara is shaking me again.
She whispers "Your okay" now she's starts giving me a hug "You're all
right."
"What happened?" I ask.
"It looks like you slipped away again."
"What happened?" I ask again.
"I don't want you to key back in to what happened-- just remember
everything's fine."
I think about it 'I looked in the mirror--ahh shit I am a fucking
monster.'
I'm stuttering "I am monster" again.
I start to skitter off the bed. The sheets start to come off me again
but don't and I fall off the bed to the left side away from both of
them. I start curling up in a ball covered in sheets. Back up in the
corner again.
Everything is starting to fade out and I can't hear her.
Next thing I know Sara is shaking me awake again "What happened?" I ask.
I noticed I am on the floor again, back in the corner.
Sara looks at me "You keep on zoning out there saying one word. I am
not going to say it. Then you zone off like for a half an hour there.--
again-- It's where we found you the last time in the corner like this."
I look at her "What was I saying??" --I was looking in the mirr---."
"You said-- your a monster-- OKAY-- lets get over it" she loses some of
the kindness in her voice.
"Ya- I- I- I---" I'm stuttering
She is on me and Gwen joined in the hug "It's okay we're here for you--
You can come back to us."
Sara says "You're not a monster."
I look at Sara in her eyes "I am!-- What do you expect I can't go
outside? You can go outside!! SHE can outside!!" I point at Gwen "The
redhead can!!!---I go on the street. They are going to freaking kill
me!!- I know it!!"
I pull the sheets back off me as we all sit on the floor --"Look I STICK
OUT!!" I yell.
Sara says "No that's not going to happen."
"I remember the riots!!" I jump back at her.
Sara states "That was the 70s-- This is now! They are a little bit more
accepting. I won't say these humans around here are perfect at all."
She adds "I'm not going to say your not going to stick out. But your an
elf One thing I know you can probably do!"
As she says that, the softness in her voice- she had goes She gets a
little sassy
"Just! like Gwen can do here and I know Nikki can show you! --IS
illusions--You can put an illusion on yourself or put an illusion on an
object. That you carry around, like a piece of jewelry or something.
No one will figure out what you look like. Anyone that can see you, is a
magic user. So that means they are a mutant or something and are not
going to care. So don't worry about it " she explained to me.
"Anyway" Sara giggles and looks at Gwen "We have got two dark elves at
school now"
I say "Really?"
Gwen says "They are "close"-- to you about the same skin color. They
definitely! have different eyes! but they are dark elves."
Sara backs up laughing "Ohh ya one of them is a dark elf all right!"
Gwen starts laughing and laughing out loud.
I look at them "I don't get the joke?"
"Ohh you'll hear about it later --You kinda have to--- We will fill you
in later--it's- it's funny you will like it" Sara giggles.
Gwen giggles "Well that new one is Belphoebe, she's a baby!"
Sara looks over at Gwen "YA --baby one week old going on 16 years old
baby."
I ask "What do you mean?? one week going on 16 I don't get it?"
Sara shakes her head "Don't worry about it !! it's really funny you
going to love it!"
Gwen looks at Sara "I hate to say this to you" and she starts to look
back at me -- "You REEK!"
Sara says "Ya we need to get you in the shower."
"Okay" I say softly with some reluctance.
Sara say insistently "Hey-Don't worry about it. Ya turned into a girl.
I did it" she elbows Gwen in the shoulder. Gwen says fast "Me too."
Sara adds "The shower it can be shocking. But your going to get used to
it. Your going to be around for a while. You might as well start
excepting who you are."
I look at Sara I ask "What do you mean "Around for a while" that sounded
kinda ominous the way you said that."
Sara lifts my head up and looks at me right in the eyes and says "Your
an elf. Your life expectancy is probably like 20 --30-- maybe 100,000
years long--- maybe longer?"
I am thinking about what she just said "That's what that dark elf was
saying when we where arguing!"
Sarah gets a surprised look over here face "You where arguing WITH??
the dark elf?"
"YA --I've won the first fight with her. Where did that sword come from
I had and the armor I was in?? " I stop in thought " OHH -- I remember
that now."
Gwen chirps in fast "Yeah!! that's from when you freaked out and almost
killed Nikki!"
"I almost killed Nikki--? the redhead?" I ask surprised and embarrassed.
Off she goes again "YA! you almost came close and you had that sword her
right to her neck! If Sir Wallace had not said something that snapped
you out of it. I'm sure you would've drilled right through her."
Sara is looking at Gwen with her mouth hanging open. Then she gives Gwen
the most evil eye!!! and mouths out silently to her "Later I am going to
hurt you!"
Gwen gulps and shuts up.
I think about what she just said "I hate her. But I don't think I want
to kill her? But? it's---" as I'm thinking about it. I can feel my
voice changing. I know the dark elf is talking. -- My voice goes cold
"I want her dead!"
Sara looks in shock! "What was that?? Was that the dark elf talking?"
"Of course it is-- I want her dead! for what she did to us" she says
coldly.
"WOW!!--can we talk to the human for a while?"
"Fine" I say coldly and I snapback. I look at Sara "That's weird."
"Yep it was--are you two are still fighting on in there?" Sara asks.
"Yeah it's about equal now. We both pretty badly kicked each other's
butts in here. But I think I got the winning hand on her. That's good-
- But I'm still thinking about---" I fade out.
Sara says "Don't go there!"
I start losing it again. Say to her "I still think I should be dead--
Should've been dead long ago already."
Sara shakes me out of it again.
She says "Everything is going to be fine. Stop thinking that way!! Your
depressing -- me damn it!"
"I can't" the tears are rolling now. I am fully lost in crying this out
"I can't help it. I am not seeing anyways out here---okay?"
Sara- shakes me. She tilts my face up to her's, then looks at me in the
eyes "Look at me!---Your going to be okay!--You just need to get out of
this hole in the ground! -- Get outside. Get to our school and you will
start fitting in real quick !-- I'm sure!!!---- I will be able to show
you some neat stuff. Gwen will too and if you can make up with Nikki
??? I'm sure she'll help you out a lot --okay? There's a lot of people
at school that are going love you-- okay?" she then gives me one of
those "More than friends" hugs.
She stops hugging me. Then she stops to think for a second while
tilting her head in thought and puts a finger up to her lips. That right
there is driving me crazy. All too sexy for words
"By the way have you thought of a name yet damn it?" She asks me.
I look at her "I thought you would have a baby book for waiting for me??
You broke your word!! That's not good. To break your word to me!" I say
to her --getting REAL serious in my voice on that last part.
I then for some reason I get REAL mad at her for breaking her word. I
look up into her face and I say very coldly -"Never break your word to
me ever again!! I mean it --I was a man of his word But after this
change? Don't ask me why? That betrayed feeling of someone breaking a
word or a vow to me is WAY stronger. -I can't stand it! --A persons
word has more meaning now to me then ever!"
She gets a guilty smirk across her face "Yeah I kinda forgot the book --
okay? Ya know??-- I'll print one out for you-- right? or we will look up
one on the Internet?"
I look back to her "Print out a book that fast?"
She says "Yes"
"Internet?" I look at her totally lost in the word and what it is
"What's that?"
She buries her face in her palm with a slap!
"OY VEY --We've got a looooong talk-- We got to catch you up!"
"Yeah, I kinda guessed that!--Can you get me some books in here? At
least on the last 30 years?? maybe history?? that might help out!"
Gwen peeps in "You don't know the Internet? what about computers?"
I look at her with distain "I'm 30 years out of date-- not 300!! I know
what a computer is!! I'm guessing its a lot smaller and lot faster NOW!"
I sass at her.
"Yeah" she says sheepishly.
"So I will figure it out?" but and just as I'm thinking about that 30
years lost-- I tear up and lose it again.
Sara gives me another bear hug "Lets stand you up!"
Gwen looks at Sara "Us?? Pick her up?? I don't think so--- Let's go get
a guard."
I am still there in the corner all balled up in sheets and sobbing a
bit. While Gwen hugs me to comfort me.
Sara gets up and walks over to the door, opens it up "Hey you
knucklehead."
The guard looks at her, angry "Yes I'm talking to you!! come here" she
orders him.
The guard walks over looking at us. Sara asks "Will you do us a favor
here and pick her up and get her to the shower?
"I am supposed to be guarding her. Not helping medically" he says.
Sara says slowly like she is talking to a moron and getting mad at him
"Just pick her up and get her in the shower-- matter fact-- just a
second-- stand there."
She bolts out into the hallway and yells "Bill" down the hallway.
I then hear a "YO!" now that the door is open. I can hear down the
hallway and I am listening. Sara comes back in and Bill is standing
there with her.
I see him and say "Hey-- its Bill I remember you --devil doc!!" I look
up at him "I have one question?"
He says "Shoot?"
"What's with the 22 guys at one end of the hallway and the 23 on the
other end of the hallway. All with heavy weapons?" I ask.
Bill looks at me in shock-- his eyes pop open. The guard is just as
shocked.
Sara looks at me "How did you know that? and two. How did you come to an
exact number?"
"I don't know --
I can hear them and I could tell one footstep from the next.
I counted the heartbeats.
I know they have heavy weapons by how they hold them in their hands and
wear them on their shoulders.
Something else is down there on each end. I hear allot of whirring of
small motors or something like that" I say.
Bill looks at me surprised "You can hear all that from here??"
"Yea--I'm finding out I can do a lot of weird stuff." I stutter in
thought and speech "-- It just keep's --every second I sit here -- more
and more keeps pouring in my head!! Like that armor. I know what it is
now. How I got the sword and how its works. The more think about it. I
know which one it was and why I picked it"
Sara looks at me "Okay-- lets start with the sword, why did you pick
it?"
"Because it was the quickest thing. I knew that would kill Aunghadhail's
spirit out of Nikki's body" I say sharply.
Sara says getting kinda mad at me "You DO!! realize that would have
killed Nikki!! --right?"
"Ohhh-Yes!! I know that it would have killed Nikki - I was sure of it.
It was the second reason why I picked it!" I say.
Sara-- shocked looks at me "Lets see if we can get you and Nikki liking
each other."
"I don't think being--- I don't know about me and Nikki-- But me and
Aunghadhail are gonna be knocking heads for a while. I don't like her
for what she did" I get mad at the end and growl deeply a bit.
Sara kneels down and whispers in my ear "What did she do to you?? Your
going to have to tell me sooner or later. If you don't want to tell me
fine. Tell Gwen. Your going to have to tell someone --so that-- we know
what to do."
I look at her --I pull away from her. I get mad at her!! and she can
see it. She starts to back off --Seeing something coming.
With my right hand. I grab a bunch of Sara's top and pull her real close
to my face.
The guard starts to get antsy--I look at him "DON'T EVEN THINK OF IT--
BOY!!" I hiss.
I look Sara in the face "Why don't you ask the Queen? She obviously
hasn't told you and she's supposed to be one your "friends"-- Ask her??"
I then let go and calm down.
Sara looks at me in shock at the move. I just did and says a little
shaky "Ahh did you know that
when your real mad. --Your eyes glow red??"
"Nope-- I did not know that" I say---'humm' I think.
Gwen jumps in "I though I saw that. But I did not say anything. I
though I was seeing things."
Bill adds "I saw it too when you attacked Nikki."
Bill bends down and grabs me "Lets get you in that shower" and stands me
up with the guards help. The guard- he's on my left side and a plan
forms in my mind.
Then that silly sheet falls of. Gwen immediately grabs it and starts to
cover me up.
I look at Gwen "What are you doing?"
She lectured back to me "Your chick!!--please ---these are guys---
modesty!"
"Whatever" I mumble.
I can seen the guard is definitely ogling me.
I look at him --He is easily only inches from my face "Eyes UP HERE
BUD!--We are going to the shower."
Grabbing the sheet. I pull it over me and they walk me into the
bathroom. They put me on the seat bench in the shower. 'Obviously this
is a well equipped hospital.' I think to myself.
They go to pull the sheet away and I am not having any of THAT!!
Gwen shoots in there "I got it from here guys!! You two get out of
here!! Girls stuff!"
I look at Gwen "Just go and close the door--I got this, give me a while,
give me a half an hour?"
"Fine!" and she close the shower door.
Gwen turns to both of the guys "Git!-- GO-- SCOOT!" she shoos them out
of the bathroom and closes that door.
She looks at Bill. --- She steps up to Bill and grabs on to his shoulder
"Would you mind getting her --like some clothes?"
Bill says quickly "Ya that would be a good idea. Hospital gowns are
kinda stupid. I got an idea there are some cotton sweats in the
breakroom sleeping area. They are 100% cotton that otta work!' and off
he scoots.
The guard goes and stands outside the door and Gwen walks out then walks
down the hallway to the med center where Nikki's waiting with Sir
Wallace and Dr. Otto.
Sara knocks the bathroom door "You okay in there?" She hears the water
and leaves.
By this time I got the water on and the sheet tossed aside. My plan is
working. I know what I want to do.
(In the hallway med center desk area)
Bill comes back to the med center area with folded up set of cotton
sweats drops them on the desk and says "This otta fit her"
Mike is just walking up with a coffee service then nods to the guards
"Come here and get a cup of coffee"
They both walk over to the med center desk couple feet is away from
their post at the door and pour a cup of coffee for themselves.
Bill says "Well these will fit. That will help her out a little bit.
Get her on her feet. Get her moving around. Get her mind off stuff."
Sara looks to Mike "Doc can you get some books in history? A library in
to her?"
Mike says "Just about 99% of everything in this buildings is on computer
and they're not going to let her have computer access. I guarantee
that! They are not going to let a patient at her level, have a Internet
access. They probably won't even pipe TV down to her."
Aunghadhail in control of Nikki says "How is she doing?"
"She's a little bit better" Sara looks at it Aunghadhail "She hates
your guts. There's no doubt about it!!-- Nikki on the other hand-- She
might be able to get with her. You and her gotta talk and Aunghadhail??
I'll say this in front of everybody. What the hell did you do to her!!!
It's obviously in the past."
Aunghadhail STATES to Sara "It is between me and her. If she wants to
talk about it. Then we will talk about it. I do not think private issues
should be brought out in the open!"
Sara shakes her head "Okay--I know I am not going to be able to argue
this with you and I know it!"
One of the two guards says "I hope she does not flip out again" his
buddy nods.
Bill looks down at the guard "Straighten out your shirt stupid."
He says while fixing it "I picked her up--what do you expect me to be
perfect all the time."
He straightens out his shirt and gun belt again.
Bill looks at him doing it "WHERE IS YOUR WEAPON!"
The guard looks down suddenly, flips his holster flap open, its not
there!
Gwen is the first one--it POPS in her mind before anybody else. She
starts running down the hallway yelling "No- no -no -no -no- no- no"
excitedly.
Sara looks at them and says "CRAP!" and runs down the hallway.
Bill yells "NO!"
The guard says "WHAT?"
Bill already at a run looks back "She lifted your gun stupid!"
The guard says "No not with my gun---- She wouldn't" he starts to run.
Bill looks at him "YOU IDIOT! if she's in there dead. I am going to
FUCK you up. You stupid moron. You better hope she's in one piece. If
she's not I am going to drill you like no end!" and he runs in the room.
Aunghadhail starts to move that way and Sir Wallace grabs her then says
to her "Queen don't go in there --You can only make it worse."
She stops --her aura burning up the hallway in anger!
Gwen bolts into the room, slams open the bathroom door. Looks. She
sees the dark elf in the far corner of the shower curled up, kneeling on
the floor, with her back facing away. She sees what looks like a river
of blood coming from the dark elf, in the shower water going towards the
drain and the color is off but it still looks like blood.
Gwen yells "Shit NO!"
Sara comes in the door right behind her and says "Nope!"
Then Bill is next in the room and bumps into Sara he yells out "GOD DAMN
IT!"
Gwen goes in there throws the shower door open, walks in. They can hear
now with the shower door open and the water not drowning out sound.--
The dark elf is laughing.
Sara says "Ohh God she's alive" ---" Gwen?? where is the blood coming
from?"
Gwen even though the showers on, she does not care about getting wet at
this point. She sits down beside her. The dark elf looks up at her.
Well I'm sitting there in the shower on the floor and I hear them come
in the room. I know they are behind me, Gwen, Sara and Bill. I know
Gwen I could tell her walk from everyone else's and Sara doesn't walk
like a person. I can hear that difference a mile away. Bill has a
flat-footed-- floppy flop, kinda guy I hear. Gwen opens the shower
door. She finds me curled up in the corner laughing and she looks at
me. I look at her. The wounds are still healing on my face.
She cries "What did you---" and she sees the gun laying there and the
shell casings all over.
I take her hand in mine and I pour six spent- bent up bullets in her
hand.
I look at her and say "I can't even fucking kill myself right."
The wounds are still healing up on my face.
"This pipsqueak gun couldn't even drill through my skull" I laugh.
She takes the bent up bullets out of her palm and looks at them.
I say to her "Why don't you keep these for me-- I might ask for them
back one day."
I could feel the pain from the wounds on my face healing fast and put my
hand up there. I put a finger in one of the still sealing holes "Man I
heal quick -- that's a new? - I should be a ventilated cushion right
now."
Gwen still upset "You okay?"
"I think I'm a little better ---now that I got that out of my system."
She says "Ok--ayy" she turns around "Sara?-- she is still kicking!!"
Sara comes hugs all over me and cries at me "Why did you do that!"
I look up at her and say "It seemed like a good idea at the time?"
Sara giggles then laughs out loud. All most spooking me "It seemed like
a good idea at the time?-- Great!--- All the work I've done with you and
your going to end it in one second?--- All this work! --All the these
days! -- I spent helping you out! ---and you going to screw up my
perfect record?-- For helping people out?--GREAT!"
Gwen reaches across me I can see she's going for the gun-- I snatch her
hand. she says "Owwch that hurts."
I look at her and say to her face "I don't know if I want you to have
that yet."
Sara grabs my shoulder "I think you're done with that. It didn't do you
any good. Your not going to shoot Gwen. Your not going to shoot me so--
its just a hunk of 2 pounds of steel right?"
I nod "Yep it's just a piece of shit now --it's just a piece of junk."
I let go of Gwen's hand, she picks it up, with the shell casings.
I look at her again "I'm serious about those bullets I want you to keep
them for a while"
She says smiling now " I will-- don't worry about that-- you asked me--
I'll do it!"
She hands a pistol Sara and Sara reaches over shoulder waves it over to
Bill.
Bill takes it from her.
Sara say while she's looking at Bill "Why don't you walk out of here??
us girls will take care this from here on out."
Bill turns around. She can see that Bill is furious. He walks out and
the bathroom door closes.
Gwen say to me "Why don't we get you on your feet!" she puts the bullets
and casings in her pocket. Then she helps me up --or I really stand up
as she can't lift me.
Sara still standing there in the open door-- the shower water still
going.
I look at Gwen "I got you all wet!"
Sara giggles "Ya she's all wet! She's always been all wet. Wet behind
the ears"
Gwen looks at Sara with the evil eyes "I'm not that young damn it!"
I look at Gwen again "I'm okay now" I mumble "Why don't you get out of
here and let me take care this. I need a minute or two or an hour or
something?? When I'm done here, I'll sit on the bed."
Gwen walks out "Okay-- Bill got you some sweats to wear. We will worry
about clothes for ya later."
Sara chimes in "That's the spirit I need to hear -- shopping trip!
right!"
I look at her my I roll my eyes "I don't think I'm ready for shopping
trip yet with two girls or three or whatever?"
Sara warns "Your going shopping!! I went through it. Gwen went through
it. Everybody goes through it. You're doing the shopping bit. Sorry
you're not escaping the wrath of the shopping trip!" She cackles evilly
and starts rubbing her hands together menacingly.
I laugh at that.-
Then Sara says to Gwen "Search her before we go---Just to make sure" she
giggles.
Gwen looks back at me still standing in the water and she is soaked
thoroughly. I look at Sara and I say meanly "Tell me WHERE would I put a
weapon right now??" I spin around naked --and not caring if she sees.
Sara jests me "Good point!!--but huba huba You do look good!!" She
eyeballs me like a well cooked steak --"MMMM yummy!!"
"GO--- NOW!" I yell and if you could see red on me. It would show now.
"Gwen you can leave now. Your soaked. But you can leave."
Gwen says "I am not worried about being soaked."
Then she stands up next to me and I look down at her. She looks up for
the first time at me fully-- completely standing up in front of her.
Gwen mused "Sheesh your tall --What do ya got on me?"
"I guess I'm about 8 inches taller than you --at what 5-4? --that's 8
inches."
Sara stares "You're right Gwen what was it you said??-- "she towers!"
Gwen noted to me "I haven't seen a lot of elves in my life. But you
are the tallest. I have ever seen-- man. If more of you start turning up
its going to be cool to being an elf. Having big ones like you around."
She turns and walks out of the shower.
I see her pull magic out of the air. I shift my eyesight to see magic
better.
In the that in the minute. She starts doing it and she's dry as a bone
in a second.
I says to her excited "What was that??
She smartly says "That was magic."
I chide her back "Well duuu I know that was magic. What was that spell?
I haven't seen that one?-- Could you do it again?--A little slower?"
"Okay it's a little thing that Nikki taught me it's real simple" she
says.
I can see her gather up the energy. looking at the Ley lines she is
pulling in and I see what the pattern is forming to be--
"Okay I got it!"
Gwen marveled "You got it? that fast?"
Sara put in "That's pretty neat. You read magic spells out fast and pick
it up that fast?? ---that's--- You are going to be-- A lot of people
gonna like you at school!! I think Sir Wallace is going to want to teach
you and he's the top dog at the school. I'm going to tell him how
fast" -- she stops---" can you get out of the shower for a minute?"
"Okay!" I plod out of the shower.
"You said you learned the spell right?? Do it!" she orders me.
I looked at her and say dryly "Remember what I said about lies? and me?"
Sara says "Yes?"-- kinda sheepishly --"Sorry I should believe you--But I
need to see it"
"Fine!--" I grumble at her somewhat insulted by her.
I think about what I saw for second. Pull the essence from inside myself
and I know that. Do the pattern. Then I am dry head to toe, hair and
all.
"Okay-- Yeah-- We got something here and you want to off yourself? Your
doing cool stuff like this!?-- Think about that!-- If you can do a
drying spell like that. You can put an illusion on yourself to keep
anybody from thinking you're any different than anybody else walking on
the street!"
"Okay-- that's an idea" I turn around and go back in the shower.
They're still standing there. I turn around again and look them
"Standing there-- alone time-- remember?"
They say in unison "Okay!"
Then Sara gives me that evil mischievous look "Don't do anything I
wouldn't do!"
I look at her and shake my head "I don't think I'm ready for that --
yet!"
Sara giggles evilly "Don't worry I kinda figured that- I am messing with
you!!" and she walks out the door and closes it.
Well I am in the in the shower alone. I think might as well get to this.
I stick my head under the shower. I grab what I figure is the shampoo
bottle off the shelf put a bunch in my hand and start to wash my hair.
Man that takes forever to get this much hair done!! I have hair going
all the way to my butt. I get that rinsed out. Man my hair is long, but
real soft from what I remember my old hair was.
I grab the washcloth that's there and find what looks to be like bottled
soap something? Instead of the bar soap? So that's new?? I squirt some
out of the container, start lathering up and rubbing the cloth on
everything.
I get to the chest --maybe I'll leave that for a bit! I am not ready for
that feeling just yet!
Just clean that real quick, I think. But as I start on my chest, I hit
the nipples and just can't stop. It feels tooo good. As I get into the
feeling of it and start to moan. That sound coming from me!! It snaps me
out of it and I stop confused.
After a few minuets.
I start to wash everything else instead. As I wash down each leg I
think 'Man I gained some legs in looks and length. With-- more muscle
than I ever HAD!'
As I soap and clean down my legs. I'm looking right at where my pride
and joy was. I note the only hair I have now is on my head!! Don't have
to worry about bikini wax EVER! and it looks normal down there. Like
I've seen on many a girl. So I guess elves plumbing is pretty close to
what everyone else has.
I clean everything is good as I can without going tooo far and getting
myself all hot and bothered.
I rinse off -- you know let's make sure we do this right!! let's do that
again. I did complete washdown again.
I tossed the washcloth in the corner, step out of the shower.
I think about that spell Gwen did. I pull it out,dry again. That's
going to save some time!
I walk back out into the main room and sit down on the bed. Sure enough
Bill left a folded up set of sweats. I pick them up. They are cotton and
kinda OK?? I pull on the top, a longsleeve model, not flattering but at
least it fits!
Bottoms next-- I slip my legs in them and pull them up that's good. I
sit on the bed.
I sit there on the bed and think about walking to the door. I went NO
that would be a bad idea! If those silly guards out there get stupid. I
might lose it again. If they get really stupid, that would be bad! So
I sit down and think about?--Oooh the call button!
--meanwhile in the hall while I shower---
Sara walks out of my room to leave the new elf taking care of a shower.
She walks across the floor to the med center to find the guard that lost
his gun there. In a chair definitely nursing what appears to be a
solidly broken nose and a busted lip.
Sara walks up to then looks down upon him, she leans down and gets in
his face "Looks like good job!"
Gwen looks at Sara "I thought about cracking him myself, but it looks
like Bill did a pretty good job!"
Sara laughed "Bill YOU did do a real good job!"
Bill sits in the other chair looking very pleased at himself. For
cracking the guard pretty good.
Sara looks at Dr. Otto "PeeTee Your not going to fire Bill over this
are you?"
Dr. Otto says while shaking his head "I wouldn't think of it! I think
the guards getting off light!! I should fire him myself, but Bill said
that this little crack here will do for now and he got the guard to
agree that if you want to smack him around a little bit. He will suck
it up!! I thought about doing it!! but I'm management I can't do that!!"
Sara finally notices Aunghadhail sitting down in the corner and she's
just leering at the guard. Her aura is just bleeding into the room full
of anger!
Sara gets down the guys face again "You do realize that the Queen of the
Elves is standing RIGHT! behind you and she's probably thinking of a way
to kill you right now. For messing with one of her subjects by letting
your weapon out of your holster. To be pick pocketed by a near
invalid!?" she sasses him.
The guard looks at her in the face. Then looks over to Nikki standing in
the corner and Aunghadhail's voice comes out of her BOOMING just
dripping anger!! "In my kingdom I would have already have had your head
chopped off by now!" she says coldly.
Gwen jested at the guard "OOOOO" she sucks in air through her teeth in
a hiss "Your in trouble!"
Gwen looks at Aunghadhail "You are kidding about killing him?!"
She speaks again even madder-- if that could happen "I do not joke!! He
failed guarding his charge and injured one of my subjects. Had I been
at home on my throne. He would be gone now!" Aunghadhail adds.
Gwen gets down in the guys face with Sara "You are in trouble--- yeah--
being just-- WOW!! if I were you I would get off shift and like go home.
Take a week off --yeah-- she's finally figured out a way to off you bad-
- by now."
Gwen gets back up and looks to Bill "Bill do you have a small bag that
seals or a box??"
Bill asks "Why?? so I know how big to get??"
Gwen pulls out the 6 spent bullets. She promised to keep.
--Aunghadhail sees that and asks with a roar "What are those?"
"These? are the bullets she asked me to keep. The ones she tried to kill
herself with. She asked me to keep them safe till she wants them. I
promised I would. So I need a bag or a box for them?" Gwen tells the
Queen.
Aunghadhail roars "THAT IS IT!" the room fills with rage off her. She
starts to draw her sword. As she steps toward the guard. Then Nikki
takes over. Stops it all and sits down "I took over-- She is not going
to hurt anyone-- BUT boy she is mad almost the maddest. I have ever
seen!-- You there" she looks at the guard, who just stood up ready to
run --"You might want to leave NOW --As I am not so cool right now
either!"
The guard walks to the elevator and is gone.
Sara walks over to Sir Wallace "Sir?"
"Yes Sara?"
"I just saw our new elf pick up a spell. That she watched Gwen do once.
Then repeat it fully in a second and correctly"
"Really? what one? he asks.
Gwen pips in "That dry yourself one. Nikki taught me a while back. Its
small but cool. That elf got it in one take. After only seeing me do
it once and I did not see her use ley lines or actually "weave" the
spell. She just kind of "proofed" it."
"Humm we should see more of this. She definitely does magic in a
different way. I wonder if that would be true for larger spells??"
(back in my room)
As I sit there I think --"I can't knock on the door --I don't want to
get those guards all mify!"
"I know what! It that stupid bed control thing!"
I start flipping through the bed sheets "Here it is! I knew I saw one.
Call nurse there is, Call button!" I push it.
At the med station that call sound starts beeping and Bill jumps out of
his skin practically!!
Sara looks at Bill jump and starts laughing at him "I think she's just
saying, she's done. I think if she really needed you in there. She
would not have hit the call button. I think she's just being cautious
not wanting to open the door next to Tweedledee and Tweedledum there.
To have them do something stupid!"
Sara walks over to the room door and stands there--"Ahh --guys I want in
there."
Gwen scoots up behind her and turns back "Bill come on!" she sang.
"Okay" Bill turns "Mike?"
Mike yawned "I'll sit out of this I'm done, she's done. You three should
to stick with it. She don't know me."
"Okay?" Bill walks over there. The guards are just letting Sara in the
door.
I hear the door click.
Sara walks in I am just sitting there. Rocking back and forth. Kicking
my legs up and down like a kid-- that I am now.
"Well I'm done with that!! What's next? Stupid pet tricks maybe?" I jest
at her.
Sara giggles "That's what I want to hear!!! you're feeling better now!"
"YA! and I can eat a horse! How about a cheeseburger and fries!!" I say.
Gwen walks in, just as I say that and says "I don't think your going to
want a cheeseburger?"
I whine "Why not I'm hungry!"
Bill walks up behind her.
Gwen looks at me with a sad look on her face "Hate to break it to you
BUT your now an elf!"
I look at her "Yeah and?----pointy ears--weird looking eyes--likes
trees--I guess--SO?" I sass at her "What does that have to do with
cheeseburgers?"
She's kind of thinking--a funny but cute "I'm thinking" look comes on
her face. I giggle at that.
She tisks at me "Elves really don't like meat. You might eat it. But
your not going to like it."
I say "Well you are a elf-- elf and I'm A dark elf. Maybe the reason
why I got BIG FANGS!! Is that I l
