"I am to be taking my evening bath now, don't let anyone disturb me." Odalia said to the Abomination butler with what looked like a messed-up cat face. She could have had it fixed but decided against that since it looked like now, she could better tell the other Abominations apart. "You are to not let anyone in here, especially Alador, I very much wish to not see him for the rest of the night." The cat faced Abomination nodded its head while groaning in the usual Abomination language.

Odalia stepped inside her personal bathroom and locked the door behind her. Casting a magic circle, she covered the entire room in a magic aura that allowed as much noise to be made within the room but allowed no one outside it to hear. Turning her head, she saw the five feet by four-foot bathtub filled with hot water that would not boil her like the rain and/or the ocean and filled with bubbles from her favorite bubble bath soap.

Sighing in relief Odalia removed her bathrobe, completely naked, she stepped in, feeling the mixture of hot water and bubbles ease her body of the stress that she had been feeling lately. What happened at that presentation had been a near disaster, sure she was able to sell all the contraptions that Alador had made and made serious sum of money in the process, even though it was all going to the emperor, it was not that, that stressed her out. What stressed her out was her own daughter, Amity, going against her instructions all to save the one she called her friend, the human.

Odalia forgot what the humans name was, but she did not think that mattered as much. Amity called her out for going back on her word, her husband Alador backed Amity up saying that a Blight must keep their word. "Honestly, I would have kept my word and let Willow and Augustus back into Hexside, it was only the human that probably wouldn't have gone back. And why bother, humans can't use magic." However, as she said that she thought back to the presentation that the human was using magic, just not any kind of magic that she was familiar with.

"Alright, so maybe I did underestimate the human. How did she do that anyway?" There were times when she was surprised in her life but seeing the human do magic with those pieces of paper had certainly made her see things from a new perspective. The only other time she felt surprised like that was when she saw the magic that Willow had been preforming, the reason she forced Amity to cut ties with her was because she thought of Willow as a lesser witch, kids at school even gave her the nickname, 'Half a Witch Willow'. Every Abomination spell she used was never that good, but it was not until she saw everything that Willow had done that made Odalia see her differently, she saw her as someone that had potential but was also very dangerous if not looked after.

It was reasons like that she decided not to reprimand Amity for seeing Willow again, after she said not to, but Odalia was going to keep an eye on her, which led to her, Augustus, and the human to be expelled. Not just for Amity's education but because lately they have been getting into all kinds of mischief that she would not let Amity go down that path and she had to do something. Odalia groaned at all of this and tried to think of the times in her life when she was completely at ease, when she was happy, there was only several times that made her feel that way and all those times involved one person.

Eda Clawthorne. The true love of her life.

Ever since she met her in her younger years, Odalia had fallen head over heels for her and for a long time her and Eda had a relationship, even when she was cursed and turned into that owl beast she was still madly in love. It was not until Odalia's mother told her to never see her again simply because she was cursed and was told to marry the person she chose for her, Alador, that things had gotten difficult for them. It was not like Odalia hated Alador, she did find some good things about him, but there was only one person for her. And even though she had married him, she kept seeing Eda in secret, she enjoyed all the times they were together, especially all the mind-blowing sex they had.

Thinking about that Odalia's face started burning up, and it had nothing to do with the hot water. Thinking more about Eda she used her right hand to trace her body from her chest, sides, and finally to her mid-section. Placing her hand in front of her pussy she started rubbing herself until she placed two of her fingers inside. Eda was the only thing on her mind right now, all the times she sneaked away from her house to meet up with Eda, the times Eda would first kiss cheek and then licked her neck afterwards, they both always took turns being the one on top even though Eda would usually lead. Odalia licked her lips, still remembering the taste of Eda's juices.

Eda and Odalia just kept on meeting up and spent time with each other that ending with them in a secluded area making them scream out each other's names. "Eda," Odalia moaned her name as she kept thrusting her fingers in her snatch. Using her other hand to fondle her left breast she quietly said, "How I wish it was time for our meet ups again."

Odalia was in her own world as her fingers started picking up speed and she felt an orgasm coming up. Suddenly she heard a noise forcing her to stop. Odalia thought it was strange since she cast the spell sound proofing the entire room but she made it so she could faintly hear anyone that might be approaching and left her scroll in her bedroom which as a little further down the hallway. So, it was not her scroll and nobody else's, which led to her conclusion that made her eyes brighten up.

Casting a levitation spell, she removed one of the tiles on the bathroom floor making the ringing noise get louder, she summoned a crow from out of the wall to come over. She was glad that this one was inanimate otherwise things would have gotten bad with a dead bird in the house and all. She looked down at it as it kept ringing, excitement in her heart since she only gave this number to one person only. Answering the call she said, "Hello Eda."

"Hello Odalia," Odalia heard the voice of the Owl Lady on the other end making her swoon.

"Please do tell me if you want to meet up a little early this month." Odalia was quiet but was really hoping that Eda would say yes.

"Not this time, this isn't a booty call." Eda said surprising Odalia. "But we do need to talk." Odalia was disappointed but decided not to say anything allowing Eda to continue. "I heard about what happened at the latest Blight Industries presentation."

Odalia groaned at that, for a moment she had forgotten about it. "Yes, it was a disaster. But it would seem like everything worked out for everyone in the end. Are you mad about the emperor getting all those Abominations, because let tell you right now that, that wasn't my intention?"

"No, I didn't hear that but thanks for the heads up. I heard about there being a human used for the presentation."

"Well technically she volunteered for this when I gave her the option, she certainly surprised me with all the magic that she had been using, I didn't think that humans could use magic."

"That human is full of surprises." Eda said.

"Though now that I think about it, there's something about that human. Like I might have seen her somewhere else before."

"Somewhere else huh, somewhere like maybe the Petrification ceremony when the emperor tried turning me into stone."

Odalia blinked at that and then gasped. "The one who rescued you and sister, that was the human?

"Yeah, it was, I was the one that had been taking care of her since she got here, and she saved my life in return. So, with that said imagine the shock I felt when I found out that you tried to kill her."

Odalia nearly dropped the crow after Eda said that. "Oh shit." Odalia said but not near the transmitting end. "Eda, I swear I didn't know that."

"Yeah, I know, how could you have known since you were too busy trying to make your business blossom that you don't have time to care about others or the people that they care about." Odalia felt a sharp pain in her heart when Eda said that. "After hearing about this, I'm now starting to think that we should call this entire affair off."

Odalia felt her heart stop at what she just said. "No, Eda please not that. I swear I didn't know that you were the one taking care of the human."

"Why is it that I have a hard time believing you right now?"

"Eda look, I know, I fucked up." Odalia said, desperation in her voice. "If I had known that you were taking care of her than I wouldn't have put her life in danger. Eda please, I'm sorry. Please don't end this between us, I love you."

"And I love you too, which is why this very hard for me. Besides if you do love me then why are you still with Alador?"

"It's complicated."

"Then make less complicated. I mean does he even know about us?"

"I don't know if he does, but if I had to guess, I think he does. There's hardly any romance left between us, if there was any at all. I think he does know, he just doesn't care, maybe he never liked us being arranged together in the first place."

"So, what's so complicated about it then?"

"We had children together."

"And you didn't think about that when you wanted to keep seeing me. Look Odalia, you put me in a tight spot."

"Eda please, I'm sorry, I promise I'll never do anything like that ever again. Please don't do this."

For a moment Eda remained silent until she said, "Give me a moment to think about it." Odalia remained on the line for what felt like forever, the anticipation was always harder than what came after. After about a minute Odalia thought to ask if she was still there until she heard her voice again. "You promise you'll never harm Luz ever again?" Odalia was silent for a moment. "Luz is the human's name by the way."

"Oh, yes I promise. Cross my heart."

"You are so lucky that I learned to give people second chances." Odalia sighed in relief at this, until she heard Eda again. "But before you go celebrating, we're going to lay down some ground rules. First you let Luz and Amity keep seeing each other and don't interfere with them, you can complain about it all you want but no interfering."

Odalia was a bit skeptical about this but said, "Yes I will let them continue, but I just want to make sure that Amity will no longer be in trouble."

"Don't you worry about that I will make sure Luz won't cause too much trouble, at least make sure that she can reverse any damage she did. Second thing is you're going to tell Alador everything about us."

"What?" Odalia was shocked to hear that.

"Lately I've been getting tired of keeping this a secret, if you do love me then you will let him know everything that has happened. If it's true what you said about there being little to no romance between you then he probably won't care."

Odalia was a little hesitant about this but said, "Alright I'll tell him."

"Good, one last thing, you will no longer make any weapons or anything like that for the emperor. He's already making life difficult so there's no need to add more fire to the flame."

"Don't worry, I never planned on giving him anything. That golden brat bought everything from me to give to him."

"Yeah, I had a run in with him, he seemed charming. So then, do we have a deal? We'll keep this up as long as you follow those rules?"

"Yes, it's a deal."

"Good, I knew you could behave yourself. If you keep behaving yourself then maybe, just maybe, instead of meeting up once a month, we could meet up twice, maybe three times."

Hearing that made Odalia's face heat up again. "Three times a month." Odalia mostly said to herself.

"What can I say, you're the only one that can get me off these days. Oh, and one last thing." Odalia kept silent to listen. "Don't you ever pull a stunt like that again." Eda said with frustration before hanging up.

Odalia sighed in disappointment as she sent the crow back where it was now that she was done talking to Eda. She looked down and noticed that some of the bubbles in the bath were gone and the water was getting much cooler signaling her to get out. She then remembered that she never finished giving herself an orgasm but with the call she had she did not feel like doing that right now, so she got out.

Draining the tub, she grabbed a towel to dry herself and then grabbed her bathrobe and tied it back on. She did not bother rinsing the soup out of the tub, she decided to just have one of the Abominations do it for her, right now there was something she really needed to do. Making the room audible again and unlocking the door she saw the cat faced Abomination still standing there.

"Retrieve Alador for me would you, we need to talk."
