Chapter 9
The night continued, which hid secrets that caught Nymph by surprise. The night was going to be off confusion for Nymph and a long one too.
Who was that man? Why was he touching me? Questions kept drifting in her mind one after another. His touch and the sudden explosion of feelings, it was something she had never experienced before.
She crawled back through the window of Tomoki's house. The place was dark and undisturbed. She could hear nothing but the sounds of her own body. But she still could not escape the memory of his hands touching her. Touching in unusual places. She grew distressed, what is happening to me?
Nymph finally crawled under the blanket and got warm; she could not see a flicker of light anywhere, she didn't want to see anything. She was in turmoil. She had no idea who the man was or the actions he was doing to her. She couldn't close her eyes for a long time.
But when she finally managed to regain her senses and sleep, Ikaros walked into her room. She sensed her friend's turmoil and came to investigate.
"Nymph…" she paused, looking at her friend, "what's happened?"
Nymph was anxious and wanted to forget the ordeal, but she had to tell someone. "I... I... Someone kissed me!"
Ikaros appeared to back away slightly, perhaps shocked.
Ikaros didn't expect that remark from Nymph. Had Nymph found a boy? Was she seeing someone in secret and it went too far? Did she kill him? Her own feelings for Tomoki began to creep out from her mind, feelings of love for the adolescent teenager.
But as Ikaros stared at Nymph cowering in the corner, she could clearly see that something emotional happened. She wanted to help. They may have been enemies in the past, and Nymph betrayed her, but that was only in the past and she had already forgiven her. Now she needed her help. Ikaros decided to get to the heart of the matter. "Nymph, I sense that something unsettling has happened to you. Please tell me."
Nymph hesitated for a moment and strange sensations coursed though her body. She began. "Memories about the removal of my wings by the Ambush Angeloids made me upset. So I decided to escape and fly in the night sky until the memories have gone. But while I was flying, I flew into someone."
"Flew into someone? An… Angeloid?" Ikaros eyes were narrow, a faint shiver of energy statically danced along her cybernetic implants. "Did the Synapse send someone to collect me again?"
Nymph shook her head. "No, it was a human." she grew angry. "That bug, he put his hands on my body and... And... He kissed me!"
Out of the blue Tomoki popped his head around the corner, half asleep. "What's this about you kissing someone Nymph?"
Then the young boy allowed his imagination to run wild; he could see Ikaros and Nymph in close proximity, almost kissing and he could not control himself. WOW. Two Angeloids kissing; this is turning into a marvellous opportunity. "Kissing, you two were kissing! What!"
Nymph jumped back, shaking her head. "No… No… No… We did not kiss." Nymph face changed to a shade of red. Tomoki thought that was cute. She continued, embarrassed. "I flew into someone and we plunged to the ground. When I woke up, his lips were on mine and his hands were all over my body!"
The flashback of the ordeal made Nymph curl up in the corner. "Who was he? Why did he do that?"
Tomoki moved closer to Nymph and she held him tight. The past months have been painful and this incident was too much for the poor girl. "Don't worry Nymph, you're safe at my house. Ikaros and I will protect you, you will not be harmed again, I promise"
Nymph felt warm and close, she held him tightly, while Ikaros watched in the background. Strange feelings of lost and loneliness flooded Ikaros' reactor. Even an emotion that resembled anger crept in. What was this feeling? I love Tomoki, but I can't stand Nymph getting his attention. What shall I do?
