Blackville district, Private area, Y city.
Elite mansion B.
Vanessa and Evelyn were currently doing a dance competition with the invited guests who were all female cheering them up. Both ladies were beautiful: Vanessa looked cute and charming while Evelyn looked hot and sexy, each with their own strong points.
"Go, girl"
"Rock those hips babe"
"Show us the charm"
"Go, girl"
Many said their different words in cheering as the loud music continued.
You know since Vanessa and Evelyn could telepath and had an extremely sharp hearing, it would have been torture for them but they wore noise-blocking AirPods. So they weren't too affected and just enjoyed dancing.
Vanessa was really happy. She hadn't been this happy in a long time. Evelyn was also satisfied.
"Who's the winner?" Evelyn called out.
The one in charge of the competition smiled.
"One is cute, the other is sexy. None of you lost. It's a tie" the pretty red-head wearing a purple lace dress declared erupting in cheers.
Vanessa and Evelyn hugged each other and asked them to continue the party.
Evelyn accompanied Vanessa upstairs to her room and sat her down on the king-size bed.
"Are you alright?" she asked as Vanessa held her head.
"Lisa is in danger," Vanessa said.
"Again?" Evelyn cried out.
"I'm super sure it's her. We are connected in some way, Evelyn. Take me to McDermott" she said and stood up.
"No way, Vanny! You ain't going back there. Besides, how sure are you that she will be there?" she tried to dissuade Vanessa but Vanessa's body was starting to become hot and her blonde hair had red colour at the tip.
"Vanessa, what's going on?" Evelyn was alarmed as Vanessa's hair fluttered.
"Get... me.. to... her... now!" she thundered. Luckily, because of the loud music downstairs, no one was alarmed but Evelyn was severely affected. She flew to the extreme of the room and her head hit the table.
Immediately, Vanessa's eyes became normal again and the red colour on her hair's edges faded and then vanished.
Seeing her friend in such a state, Vanessa immediately rose and ran to her BFF and tried to raise her up but when Evelyn opened her eyes, she saw that one of her eyes were green and the other purple and they gleamed just the way Vanessa's did.
Vanessa was shocked and backed away from her friend.
"You... Evelyn..." Vanessa was uncertain of what to say or do.
"I said...you aren't going anywhere, VANESSA!" Evelyn screamed and rose up without any effort, her feet left the floor. She was flying and wings sprouted from her back. One was aqua green with gold designs and the other was purple with silver designs. Evelyn's clothes had changed to a white lace gown that barely covered her thighs. Her hair had pink at the tip and her lips were pink too. Her eyelashes had grown longer and she was a bit taller than usual. On her forehead was a silver and gold princess crown with the crest of a lotus. She sported silver shoes with the crest of a lotus on them too. Whenever her wings fluttered, green and purple lotuses appeared and also vanished.
The surroundings were lit up because of Evelyn.
"You won't leave. Got it" Evelyn asked. But at this time, Vanessa felt a terrible headache and her eyes became fiery red again and the tip of her blonde hair had red colour again. Her red lips became scarlet-coloured too. Her eyelashes grew longer and changed to scarlet and tints of pink.
Her wings came out from her back and were way bigger than Evelyn's. The wings were fiery red too and were when they fluttered, flames could be seen. Her clothes changed to a black crop top with the embroidery of a dragon in gold thread and a transparent gold skirt that revealed the tight-fitting red shorts underneath.
She now wore a red boot on the left leg and a gold and black striped boot on the right.
"I said...I will go find Lisa. She's in danger" Vanessa spoke slowly.
"Oh, are you her destined protector? Vanessa, you have to stay and play house with me" Evelyn spoke calmly and then stretched her hands sideways and two lotuses appeared. The green lotus was calming but the purple one emitted chills.
"I don't want to. Can you stop me?" Vanessa asked and she stretched her hands forward and two big rings of fire that were rotating appeared. A small fire dragon was going around the two fire rings.
Liege clinic.
It was very busy as there were many cases of accidents to be settled but just like every private hospital, there was a VIP room. Angelica's husband was treated in that room while Angela was in the room next to his with Bruce and Dorothy chatting with her.
Andre on the other hand sat in Angelica's husband's room on a couch and glared at him.
"You...what's your name?"Andre asked.
"G... George!" the man replied.
"Oh, George. My Lil sister asked me to be nice to you which I'm currently doing. Now I want you to be honest with me. Why did you beat my sister up? Reports reaching me was that you never even yelled at her once say less of beat her from your first day of marriage till now. So tell me, why did you treat my sister badly. Do you think she cheated on you? Answer me!" Andre almost yelled.
"Y...you see, I didn't deliberately do it. In fact, it's never even occurred to me to hit my wife even in my dreams. I had to do it coz I was threatened. She would die if I didn't do so. I know you're mad at me. You have every right, Andre. I'm in the wrong. I indeed deserve to die but please listen to me this once. The city will be in danger if the evil isn't curbed in time." George tried to explain.
"What gibberish are you muttering now? If it weren't for Angelica, you'd be in jail by now. You want to push off the responsibility and consequences of your actions onto a non-existent person, huh?" Andre was inches away from teaching this man a lesson again.
"Andre, please listen to me. I'm not lying. It hurts me a lot that I had to do that to my beloved but I had no choice. I had to do it to save her. For three days, I've been getting nightmares about a beautiful lady stabbing my wife's belly multiple times. And then, I met the lady yesterday. Believe me, Andre, that lady can disappear and appear whenever she wants. She has magic powers. She held a dagger and told me that she's here to kill my wife as she needed my unborn child's foetus to make her look beautiful. But she offered me another option and that was for me to give up my potency and beat her in the presence of neighbours and ruin my reputation. I agreed to it immediately but I didn't want to act on it at first but I kept seeing a dagger flying above my wife's head. I had no choice but to act sooner. I just wanted to hit her a little but the dagger kept going close to her neck, I had no choice but to hit her a little harder. Then I felt something enter me and I didn't have any more control over my body. Thank you for stopping me. You've done a great deed." said George and he tried to get up but the pain wouldn't let him.
Clap! Clap!
"So you expect me to believe that?" Andre rose from his seat and walked to him, hands in his pockets.
"I have proof." he (George) took out a golden dagger from his jeans pocket that immediately began to fly in mid-air, emitting dark mist.
Andre nearly fell when he saw it.
"You ain't lying?"
"I'm not! When you punched me, the dagger fell to the ground so after mother-in-law stopped you, I secretly took it since it had become visible," George affirmed. "Please take my wife away for the time being and monitor her. Andre, please do me this favour" he begged.
"Naturally, I will care for my sister"
Surprisingly, his eyes changed to pure gold and the flying dagger headed for him.
George did not see Andre's eyes coz he had turned away, no longer facing him and so he was alarmed when the dagger headed for him (Andre) and yelled: "Watch out!"
But to his surprise, Andre easily caught the evil dagger and subdued it. Then it changed into a bracelet that wrapped around his right wrist.
He then turned to face George with his gold eyes. George gasped in shock, his eyes wide open like saucers.
"I will protect my sister and investigate this evil. Do not tell anyone about this. I will try to pacify Angelica and my parents and see if they can forgive you. Okay with that?" Andre coldly asked as he caressed the ring.
"Yes, more than ok" George quickly replied.
"Good. Now rest" Andre then walked out of the VIP room frowning. His eyes had returned to normal.
McDermott hospital.
Lisa's life was in great danger and the doctors treating her this time were sweating profusely. Any mistake and Lisa might be a vegetable. There was a rather tricky blood clot in her brain. But Jack had requested that she shouldn't have an operation. He sat outside eating and browsing the internet about business, stock market, and many more things that the author knows nothing about. :)
Beside him were two cold bodyguards whose aura scared many from approaching.
"You, find me that lady," Jack suddenly commanded.
"Sir, please make yourself clearer," said one of the bodyguards.
"Oh, do you mean my words are not understandable? You got a problem with your ears?" Jack thundered, but the bodyguards did not cower. This was one of the intrinsic qualities his best bodyguards possessed.
"Sir, this one doesn't get you clearly. Which lady, in particular, do you seek, Sir?" the bodyguard asked again.
"That ugly lady with blonde hair. Get her for me," he ordered.
"Boss, she's no longer in this hospital but has discharged yesterday. Also, the lady lost her ability to speak," the bodyguard stated immediately.
"Then, find her for me by all means, dimwit," Jack barked.
"Yes, boss. But will you be safe by yourself?" the other bodyguard asked.
"Get lost, nincompoop"
********
Liege hospital.
Andre bade goodbye to his parents, saying he wanted to settle the issue with the police, and then left. When he had driven farther from the hospital, he parked by a lonely roadside and examined the ring.
"This is troubling. Who could this evil rising be? George said it's a woman, and this weapon smells like the ocean." Andre pondered and then started the car engine and drove off.
Bruce and Dorothy had gone to visit George in his assigned private room, and he sighed, looking away from them.
"Speak, George. Why did you hit my child? What wrong did she commit that you'll hurt her when she's going to birth a child soon, huh?" Dorothy raged.
"Jane, calm down" Bruce rubbed her shoulders.
"Go, be with Angelica. She needs you by her side. I'll talk to him. We'll get to the root of the matter" he promised, and she reluctantly left after cursing his (George's) ancestors. Bruce shook his head with a sigh.
All these years, he'd never seen her curse this much or show this much anger. But it was understandable. No mom would stand seeing their child being maltreated!
Bruce walked towards George and sat on a chair beside the bed.
"Raise your colossal head," Bruce demanded, and his son-in-law obeyed.
"My son, I won't make it hard for you coz I know you're in so much pain. Whose spell was controlling you? How does the woman look like?" he asked.
Hearing these words, George's eyes became round like saucers. What was happening? What he's said to Andre was a secret. How did...
"I have very sharp hearing and possess the demonic eye which can identify all evil existence in my surrounding. I saw a black mist above you back at your home on your head. Don't attempt to act shrewd before me. I want to help you." Bruce stated.
What was George's response? Bogus fainting!
Blackville District, Private area, Y city.
Elite mansion B.
In Vanessa's room, the situation was getting tenser. None of them had made the move to fight yet. On Evelyn's side, one part of the room felt cool, but the other side was freezing because of her lotuses. On Vanessa's side, it was scorching hot, but nothing in the room was burning, as she had no intention to do so.
They kept staring at each other and then smiled meaningfully.
"Decide on the terms and let's fight," Vanessa stated.
"If I win, you stay here but if it's otherwise, you can go see Lisa but you exceed 2 hours, never think of returning to meet a peaceful me," said Evelyn, as the lotuses floating above her hands rotated.
"So in order words, I just need to beat you silly, my dear BFF" with that, she launched a fire ring at Evelyn. It flew fast with great momentum as it headed to Evelyn, but Evelyn scoffed.
"Petty tricks." she launched the two different lotuses at the incoming fire ring. When they collided, the two lotuses were burnt into ashes and the flame ring still continued to Evelyn, who prepared another set of lotuses to launch. But Vanessa took the chance to escape through the open window, her wings flapped hard and the flames were bright.
"I better leave now," Vanessa muttered, and flew away. But in no time, Evelyn flew out too and started chasing after Vanessa.
"You cunning fox, don't run," Evelyn telepathed.
"I'm not running, but flying. Besides, when have I been an angel?" Vanessa laughed and also took the time to enjoy the view before her. It was just so beautiful and overwhelming. She could fly and enjoy such a good view with the wind caressing her skin. Evelyn also enjoyed the beautiful view below them before recalling her mission. That man (Jack Reynolds) wasn't a paper tiger. She didn't want any harm to come to her friend all in the name of saving Lisa. Besides, Vanessa chose the Art class back in high school and knew nothing about medicine. So, what was this anxiousness to save Lisa, when top medical experts were there? She just couldn't understand.
"Vanny, we haven't even started the fight. The winner is yet decided and we are hosting a party back home too. Also, how can you be sure Lisa will be taken to McDermott? Come on, think normal for once!" Evelyn ranted but Vanessa shook her head.
"Bestie, stop the chase unless you just want to have a flying competition with me," Vanessa did stunts in the air.
"You have to stay with me. It's getting dark," said Evelyn.
"But I see well." Vanessa flew faster until she reached McDermott hospital and found a secret place close to the hospital to land.
Evelyn also did the same.
"Now comes the problem. How to change back?" Vanessa complained.
"Maybe imagining our human self will help. You know, all those werewolf novels and movies say so. I'll go first." Evelyn closed her eyes and immediately her white gown changed to a pink mini gown and she now wore red shoes. Her wings were gone. Eyes had returned to normal and the tint on her hair vanished.
"Your turn," Evelyn said, feeling proud of herself for being smart enough to figure out the way to transform back.
Vanessa closed her eyes and imagined herself wearing a black chiffon gown and white slippers.
Soon enough, she returned to her human self. But their skin was still glowing, so they had to wait for a while before it dimmed.
"Vanessa, I won't fight you anymore. But if Lisa yells at me, I'll have to vent my ire on a certain fox," Evelyn stated.
"That's fine by me BFF. Will you wait here..."
"No way!" Evelyn cut short Vanessa's words.
"You're scared I might not return?" Vanessa asked.
"Not that. I just wanna see that bastard man. It would be nice to freeze him" Evelyn had begun to think of various kinds of torture she'd give Jack and Vanessa shook her head.
"Let's go," Vanessa led the way.
"Hey! Earlier, did you think I wanted to fight with you?" Evelyn asked.
"Not really. You wanted to test our newfound selves and the powers that accompany us." Vanessa replied.
"And it felt so good to fly," Evelyn remarked.
"And I had fun winning the race" Vanessa poked at Evelyn's sore spot.
"I will get back at you later. Just you wait" Evelyn said calmly but Vanessa laughed.
"I think it's time we do a little check on our family history. Our ability to telepath and sharp hearing is a shocker but adding that to our fairy self and undiscovered powers, we have to do something about it" said Evelyn as they walked away.
"Noted, my princess," Vanessa said and they laughed.
Unknown to them, a figure in black wearing a grey veil was hiding at the place they transformed back to human. Seeing that they'd left, the figure came out and looked in their direction.
"Hahaha, I finally found them. Can't wait for them to grow stronger then I can take my revenge in a grander manner. Hahaha," the figure vanished.
Meanwhile, at M city.
Nelson Woodley got a call that informed him of the death of seven pregnant ladies. They all had the fetus in them, squashed like potatoes before bleeding to death.
"Well, that's quite shocking," said Nelson as he spun around on his presidential chair at his company, GVS enterprises. "But why are you calling me, Peter? Am I the police?"
"Well, boss! One of our future clients, Mrs. Laila Rome, lost her life too. She was 2 months pregnant." Peter jones dropped the bomb.
"Well, life is never fair. No need to lament. Just give my word to the husband. Tell him I'll come to visit during the funeral. And one more thing, Peter. Such bad news which carries the aura of death, don't directly call me. Who knows if I might be next?"
"Sir, are you afraid of death?" Peter asked half-jokingly, and Nelson scoffed.
"I'm only afraid that death would think I'm too righteous to be touched. I'm also handsome. If death is female, she could fall for me, a cold, handsome Millionaire" Nelson said narcissistically and Peter Jones on the other end of the call sighed in defeat.
What did he expect of an unemotional boss? Nothing nice!
Hella, I guess the foundation of the story is laid. Now I can relax. Kisses!
