Ellyanii put her hands over her ears as she tried to block out Tamara's constant laughing and giggling. It was driving a hole straight through her brain.
Grumpily, she swung the sheets of her bed and slid from it. Stepping over the puddles of dis-guarded clothes, she delivered three small kisses to the foreheads of the three sleeping guards that she had "tamed" last night.
Smiling contentedly she left the room and walked into her dressing room. After looking through her countless clothes, she decided on a simple black leather corset with a thin layered skirt that trailed a meter behind her.
Leaving the room she made her way down the hallways. She had the same determined look on her face as she had when she had "turned" Sam only a few nights before.
She knew what she was going to do today.
Following the sound of the obsessive giggling, she appeared at two large double doors. But instead of the green jade like walls that rest around the palace. They were pale purple, made from amethyst, just like Ellyanii's half was made from bloodstone.
Without knocking she barged straight into Tamara's room with no regards for her privacy. Inside the lavishly decorated room, there was no-one, much to her surprise.
Raising a perfectly arched eyebrow she folded her arms. Now this was a different sort of trick.
Glancing to the left of her bare foot she saw a small item of clothing. Bending down nimbly, she hooked it onto the end of her red nail.
"I do believe you are hiding. Now, where could you possibly be?"
She grinned to herself like a cat who got the cream she wandered round the room
Tamara was never any good at hiding. As she followed the trail of undergarments she reached a large panel built into the wall. Pressing her hands against it, she felt for the catch that would trigger its opening.
"I know your there Tamara. And I know what your doing. I can smell the Cystosine you have put in your bathwater"
"Damn you Ellyanii" Tamara Screamed. "I am Only Bathing!"
Tamara looked back to the bed sheets. Then to the items on the floor. Shaking her head her deep red lips turned into a grin as she found the catch for the door.
"And my dear, you were never very good at lying either"
She said as the doors opened.
As soon as the panel slid open she was overwhelmed by the smell of the Cystosine that had been added to change the water pink and give it a relaxing smell.
As the mist cleared from the room she saw the large bath, more like a pool, filled with bubbles. Then she saw Tamara. Her face was once again flushed. Her ringlets had been pinned up into a bun to hold her hair from the water.
Ellyanii walked over silently and sat on the rim of the bath.
"Good Morning Sister"
"Hello" Tamara spoke cautiously.
"Feeling well?"
"Just a little tired?"
"Why can I say I am not surprised?" Ellyanii rolled her large eyes before noticing something in the other far corner of the large bathtub. From where she was sitting, it looked like something was floating on the surface of the water, almost hidden by bubbles.
With the most innocently angelic face, Ely Circled the bath. Then with a face tinged with panic Tamara swam over to Anais.
"Sister, why don't you leave me to bath in peace?"
"Because I am looking for something." Ellyanii's eyes gleamed as she found what she was looking form. The item floating, was in fact a small tube. It was no more than a centimetre in diameter. It was perfect for using as a straw, or breathing through from underwater.
Ellyanii's hand reached into the water, and one finger was placed over the end of the tube. With a smirk, she looked at Tamara. Tamara tilted her head to one side, with the "looking innocent" face she pouted.
"My water is fine thank you, now leave me be!"
After a few seconds, the surface of the water broke and a man's head came up gasping.
Tamara looked from Ellyanii's triumphant face to Jack's dripping wet one.
With a wet slapping sound, Tamara's hand had shot out the water and slapped a rather stunned Jack round the face.
"How dare you……sneak…..into my bath!" Tamara shouted, her voice a little hesitant.
"Stop playing Tamara. I know he is there of no mistake. As well as you do"
"I can explain"
"Well, as much as I would love to hear the reason why having a hostage……" Ellyanii looked down into the water, the bubbles now parted round Jack's body.
"……Naked in your bathtub is a perfectly reasonable affair, I have come to ask permission" Ellyanii winked. Her facial expressions, that of a kitten rewarded with cream.
Blushing Tamara swam back to the other side of the bath. Her face more relaxed. "For what?"
"To 'Question' the other two hostages"
"Well ok, but I cant see why you want either of those two. One is scrawny, and the other, although he is of an amazing physic, he has a scar across his stomach that is quite repulsive."
"So" Ellyanii folded her arms. "You have already had a good look then."
"No" Tamara said defensively, "I, I guessed"
"Well, for once I don't want them like that. I merely want an intellectual conversation. Find out about their world"
"I could give you an intellectual conversation"
"Im sure you could, when you haven't got your legs wrapped around someone."
Tamara opened her mouth to argue against her, before she closed it again. "Ok. You have me there."
"Well, I am going to leave you now" Ellyanii bent down and they exchanged kisses, from one cheek to the other. A common sign of respect, before walking to the panel.
"But a short word of warning sister. Do not get too attached. He will be dead by morning. And remember to take the collar off from his neck, so he remembers his past."
Tamara nodded. "But can I not have him for a few more days?" She pleaded.
"What is done is done. We do not want our new sister to remember him before she starts do you?"
"True"
"Enjoy your bath my dear, and try to keep your s-escapades a little quieter. People are trying to sleep at this time of the morning"
"Goodbye again" Tamara laughed"
Ellyanii disappeared behind the panel as Tamar breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't scared or even intimidated by Ellyanii like most others, but she knew that her temper was that of an overdue volcano. She could explode at any time. She worried for the safety of others.
She knew Ellyanii would never hurt her, they had been friends since the beginning.
Slowly releasing her mind from her thoughts she looked around the bath.
The same grin appeared on her face as that of a lioness that spies the lame wilder beast.
"Come here darling" She purred to the dripping wet, half dazed colonel.
"We have much to fit into the short time we have left"
And with that, the lioness pounced for the kill on the unsuspecting wilder beast…….
Grumpily, she swung the sheets of her bed and slid from it. Stepping over the puddles of dis-guarded clothes, she delivered three small kisses to the foreheads of the three sleeping guards that she had "tamed" last night.
