ACT 1
BAM!
Ashe whipped her head upward, her eyes immediately and instinctively searching for whatever had made that loud sound. She found a steel table right in front of her, and she also discovered that she's tied to the chair she's currently settled on, both of her hands locked behind her back with what she assumed is rope. The whole room she's in was nothing but darkness, save for the little white lightbulb above the center of the table.
Ironically, it looked like one of those typical interrogation rooms that people see in movies.
BAM!
Ashe jumped on her seat and once she blinked, she saw a person's outline standing right across from her. She couldn't identify who the person could be, regardless of her attempt in squinting her eyes to get a better look.
"Who... Who are you?" She hesitantly asked as she squirmed on her seat.
"..."
"W-Where am I?"
"..."
Ashe was feeling absolutely uncomfortable right now. She could feel the intimidating gaze the mysterious stranger was giving her, and she didn't like it one bit.
"P-Please... I...-!"
"Did you actually think you could just leave?"
She froze, her squirming halting and her whole body tensing. The voice of the speaker, it's the same voice that she thought she would never hear again. Her heart began to thunder in her chest as she refocused her gaze on the outline across from where she is settled and tied.
"S-S-Sierra?"
The person leaned over and came into the light...!
"Hello, Ashe," Sierra greeted with a sickly sweet smile.
The warm blood that once flowed through her veins ran cold as she looked into her stepmother's dark eyes.
"Did you actually think I'd let you go just like that?"
"I...-!
One of Sierra's hand shot forward and clasped around her throat, gripping it roughly as she glared menacingly.
"You haven't seen the last of me, Ashe." Her stepmother whispered in a bone-chilling tone. "When I come back, make sure you're prepared for the unexpected."
"Sierra, I...-!"
The older woman opened her mouth, and Ashe braced herself for maybe an earful of shouts and yells from her usually screeching so-called parent.
...!
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
Ashe softly gasped as her eyes opened, finding herself under a blanket and wearing nothing while she loosely clutched a pillow against herself. With a light tug and a small push of her body, she emerged from under the sheet. Not so surprisingly, she's in Katarina's room, er, their room.
But, what didn't escape her attention was the fact that smoke was slipping through the cracks of the door and filled the room little by little. Somewhere around the mansion, she could still hear the echo of the beeping fire alarm.
...
...
...
'Fire alarm!?'
Ashe frantically searched for her girlfriend slash bedmate, who she discovered after two seconds worth of searching, is gone. She slipped away from bed and sped to the bathroom to check for Katarina, only to find an empty room.
'Maybe Katarina had already left.'
She hoped that her thought is right. She rushed back to the bed, grabbed blanket and wound it around her bare form before speeding towards the door and exiting the room in a hurry. Still too disoriented with her 'just woke up' self and worried thinking, she didn't even thought of putting on some decent clothes.
Or at least a bathrobe.
The slit she had unintentionally left at the front would have probably driven Katarina crazy if the redhead were to see her now. Only a few inches are needed to be disposed off just to see what most men usually do anything just to personally catch a glimpse of. Ashe ran down the main stairs, sounds of the voices, the beeping of the alarm and a bunch of random noises becoming louder. There, she found Braum standing at the door the fully open front double-door of the mansion.
The big man ushered the household staff to come out quickly and said staff exited the mansion in a moderate and steady pace. Ashe followed the trail of smoke with her eyes, her gaze landing at the archway of a hall leading to the kitchen's location. Based from the amount of smoke that specific room was releasing, she deduced that the fire may be originating from that specific area.
"Miss Ashe!"
Ashe snapped her gaze attention back to Braum, who was now ushering her to leave the premises through the open doorway. Obediently, she carefully climbed down the stairs and went out through the exit. She didn't proceed immediately to the front lawn though. Instead, she stopped beside Braum, a worried expression on her face.
"Where's Katarina?" She asked, concern for her girlfriend written all over her face. "What's happening?"
"There's accident in kitchen, but Braum does not know all." Braum replied. "As for Miss Katarina, Braum does not know where she is."
Panicked and utterly worried for Katarina, Ashe tried to make a mad dash towards the kitchen to see if Katarina was there. Only to be stopped by the bigger man himself.
"No, no, no, Miss Ashe. Braum will not allow you to go back in."
"But, Katarina might be at the kitchen!"
"Then Braum shall check. For now, please, go over there with Miss Cassiopeia, yes?"
Ashe looked over her shoulder to where Braum pointed to and there she found at the front of the lawn, along with the already evacuated house staff, is Cassiopeia, only wearing a matching dark green bra and panties, a light yellow see-through, and not to mention, useless, nightrobe, and a pair of yellow fluffy slippers.
She was hesitant. A part of her still wanted to go and charge into the kitchen to try and find Katarina there, but another part told her to follow Braum's orders. She knew very well that Katarina would not be happy if she were to go through with her reckless decision.
"Fine," She looked up to Braum with wide, cerulean-tinted puppy dog eyes that no one, not even Marcus Du Couteau, could resist. "Find her, okay?"
Braum nodded, flashing a reassuring smile. "I will, Miss Ashe."
She turned away and went down the steps, firmly clutching the blanket wrapped around her body. When she finally reached Cassiopeia, she stood beside the other female, who had a mildly stressed-out facial expression. It's quite clear that Cassiopeia had just gotten out of bed herself. The green eyemask over her head, the messy state of her hair and her choice of attire being the key evidences.
"Do you know what happened?" She asked, thinking maybe the other has knowledge about the ongoing incident.
"No," Cassiopeia sighed. "Honestly, a maid just woke me up and told me there might be a fire spreading around the house."
"Is that why you're still..." Ashe trailed off.
"Yes, that's why I look like this." Cassiopeia then turned to face her. "And, I assume that's also the reason why you're wearing nothing but a sheet."
Ashe blushed lightly in embarrassment. "Uhh, yeah."
"Do you and Katarina actually have sex every single day? I mean, seriously. Where do you get your energy? Every time I go to your bedroom to prank Katarina, you or both, you two are always naked under the covers."
The amused and 'what the hell' expression on Cassiopeia's face and in her voice made Ashe's blush darken at least five shades of red. It was a rather straightforward and... uncomfortable question to and 'complaint' about her.
"Erm, um, not really..."
"Not really? So, at least every other day, then?"
Ashe suppressed a squeak from leaving her lips. She truly felt uncomfortable with the turn of their conversation. Discussing things such as... this is something she isn't very... contributing in. In her own opinion, this is Katarina's area of expertise in their relationship, not hers.
"It's still early in the morning, Cass," A familiar male voice spoke up. Ashe turned to the direction of the origin, spotting Talon, who now stood at Cassiopeia's once vacant side. "Teasing isn't something to do right now, especially with what's happening as we speak."
From the looks of it, Talon's state of dress is no better than them. The only son of the grand general merely donned a pair of blue and grey boxers. He also doesn't have a pair of slippers just like her. She didn't know which of the two of them is much more worse. Cassiopeia is obviously out of the question, since, in some way, she has more coverage than her and Talon.
"Have you seen Katarina?" She asked, hoping Talon would say yes, or at least nod.
"No, I haven't."
She looked back to the mansion's entrance, biting her lower lip nervously. Her embarrassment had already vanished. All that is left to her right now is her worry, and clearly that said worry isn't directed to herself.
...
...
...
...
...
Ashe nearly jumped and shouted with joy as soon as she saw Katarina emerge from the entryway of the estate, Braum guiding her down the stairs before he was dismissed with a wave of a hand by the said redhead. She smiled in relief and instantly waved a hand of her own up in the air as soon as Katarina looked towards her direction.
"Katarina!"
Relief also appeared on Katarina's face. Her girlfriend immediately weaved through the house staff and got to her in a jiffy. When Katarina was at least three to five meters away from her, she noticed a rather confusing and at the same time, unusual, detail about her lover.
Katarina's covered with soot.
She looked like she's been mining coals for hours, which is confusing, because last time she checked, there aren't any nearby mines or any mines inside the estate at all. Katarina reached out a soot-stained to caressed her smooth cheek, but halted halfway, internally not wanting to stain her clean face.
"Are you alright?" Ashe asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, I'm fine," Katarina stopped and coughed for a moment, releasing a small puff of smoke. "Totally fine."
Ashe took a step forward and was now probably just a few inches away from Katarina's soot-covered self. She grabbed a part of a blanket and used it to wipe some of the soot away from Katarina's face, unknowingly exposing more legs to the butlers and the people that had gathered around the Du Couteau mansion.
While Ashe cleaned the black stains on her girlfriend's face, Katarina noticed the perverted looks the men around them are giving, save for Talon, that is. Unknown to Ashe, her extremely possessive and protective girlfriend was becoming a bit furious.
"Aren't you wearing anything under that blanket?" Katarina questioned her.
"Oh, uh," Her blush returned. "No, I... I'm completely... naked under it."
Inside Katarina's head, the redhead didn't know if she was going to push Ashe down the dirt and have her way with her right on the spot, or to murder all the men that dared to try to sneak a peek under the sheet.
Thankfully, the fire department had arrived and finally did damage control. By the time the firefighters came into the picture, Ashe had already finished cleaning Katarina's face, neck, arms and hands and the previously purely white blanket was now marked with black faded stains thanks to the soot it had cleaned off.
Ashe saw Braum finish speaking to the head fire fighter and watched him in the corner of her eyes as her father-figure approached her and the three Du Couteau siblings.
Braum stopped right in front of them and cleared his throat. "There was no big fire, small fire only. Smoke triggered the alarm."
"What?" Cassiopeia's face twisted in confusion.
"Where did the smoke come from?" Talon queried calmly.
"Smoke came from bowl of pancake in oven and one of electric stoves."
"Wait a minute," She spoke up. "An electric stove doesn't have any fire."
"Well, most smoke came from electric stove, Miss Ashe. Fireman said so."
"Are you actually saying that some idiot actually started a fire with an electric stove?"
Ashe then noticed Katarina inching back and begin hiding behind her. "Katarina?"
"Huh? Uh, yeah?"
"Were you...?"
"What? Of course that wasn't me!"
Not only Ashe, but Katarina's two siblings and Braum had their eyes glued to her. The so called 'innocent' expression she has on her face didn't last long. It eventually dropped and disappeared.
"Okay, okay," She sighed in defeat, murmuring, "I was the one who triggered it."
"What!?" Cassiopeia screeched.
"It was an accident!" Katarina shouted back.
"Who the fuck puts a bowl of pancakes in the oven? No one, Katarina! No one! That's why they call it PANcakes! It's made to be cooked in fucking pans!"
Cassiopeia tried lunging for her, but Talon had his arms locked around her waist, which kept the green haired female from completely pouncing at their own sister. Ashe decided to pull Katarina a fair distance away from Cassiopeia, who looked beyond infuriated. They both stood beside the parked cars of the Du Couteau family, including Ashe's Porsche.
When she turned her attention back to Katarina, she found her lover looking down to her feet and rubbing her elbow uneasily. She cupped Katarina's face with her hands and lifted it up, her eyes gazing directly into glum-looking emeralds.
"Katarina?"
"Sorry..." Katarina murmured, casting her eyes downward and breaking the eye contact.
"At least no one got hurt, that's what's important."
"No, no, it's... It's just that," Katarina sighed as she reconnected their gaze, shame hinting in her eyes. "I was hoping to bring you breakfast in bed, since it's our third monthsary, but... I obviously blew it."
Ashe was quite surprised with Katarina's reasoning. She truly didn't expect an answer like that, and of course she remembers their monthsary. She was actually planning on making a breakfast in bed for Katarina, but it looks like her girlfriend had the same idea and made sure to uncharacteristically wake up early to do the deed.
She started thinking of things that could cheer Katarina up and maybe remove the sad look in her green eyes.
...
...
...
Ashe is rarely one to openly flirt and start any flirtatious conversations with Katarina, and whenever she did, Katarina usually became somewhat energetic and of course, excited. Yes, in both normal and sexual manner.
"You know," She started, using one finger to lightly trace down from Katarina's cheek to her neck. "You could have just offered me what's on the menu."
"Menu?" Katarina's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "What's on the menu?"
"Hmm... Coffee, juice, tea," She leaned forward and put on the smirk Katarina had once referred to as her very own 'sex smirk', a so called gesture that came close to eye-fucking. "Or you."
Ashe merely used this 'special tactic' whenever her partner seemed to be too stressed, since she knows that it triggers Katarina's mood. Katarina made it fairly obvious, for almost every night, that she releases stress under the sheets with her, using either soft or rough touches, which Ashe didn't really mind. She clearly knew the effect on Katarina with this little curve of her lips, also knowing that it drove Katarina crazy with love and lust.
Mostly lust.
...
...
...
Bam!
Ashe suddenly found her back against the cold metal of her car's hood, Katarina's face buried in her neck, lips occupied with the task of sucking and nipping and tongue busy in needily licking and tasting.
As Katarina ravished her neck hungrily, Ashe couldn't help but be reminded by the little nightmare she had just dreamt of before she was awakened by the loud fire alarm. She decided to brush it off, thinking it may just be a few aftershocks from her past.
Now, she just needs to focus in finding a way to stop Katarina before she could reach under the sheet and shove a finger inside...-!
"Ohh!"
Too late.
