Chapter Fifteen - Relations
"She has taken the map" statemented Cairaeleen and searched through the room, looking if something else was missing. She and Janelle had tidied up the messy room within one hour. Fortunately, they had found out that nothing else was missing.
"That should prove that the bandit was sent by Vaero. Who else would be interested in this map?" asked Janelle and bent down. She put her head on the ground and looked under the bed then she stood up after she had noticed that nothing was lying beneath it.
"I still don't know why he knows about our little adventure" said Cairaeleen and closed her wardrobe. She turned around and walked to Janelle, wrapping her arms around the smaller woman's hips and pulling her closer to her.
"Maybe he had watched you or he had ordered a few spies to watch you. Maybe he stalked you and just found out randomly about our trip" responded Janelle and put her hands on Cairaeleen's back.
"We have to be careful. I don't know what he is planning but I have the feeling that something bad is about to happen" responded Cairaeleen and ran her fingers through Janelle's hair.
"I don't know what else we can do to avoid him" whispered Janelle and put her head on her girlfriend's left shoulder. Cairaeleen continued to run her hand through Janelle's hair while her other hand stroked her back softly.
"Maybe I should talk with Lady Liadrin but I'm not sure if that would help us. The result would be that Liadrin would send a few of her soldiers with us which would mean that we wouldn't be able to look for your sister while these soldiers are watching us. I think we should start one day earlier, which would enable us a significant lead" responded Cairaeleen and kissed the rogue's cheek softly.
"Hmm... Maybe we should start off tomorrow. That would give us a lead of two days, which would result in enough distance, which means we won't have any trouble in the first few days" suggested Janelle. A low moan escaped her lips as Cairaeleen's lips were pressed against the skin on her neck. Cairaeleen's tongue darted out of her mouth and licked over the soft flesh, she pressed her lips rougher on her girlfriend's neck, leaving a love bite on it which would last for at least two days.
"You are right. We should start off tomorrow. We have everything prepared and my last duty this week starts in two hours which means that the weekend is free. I will rent the horses before my duty starts and make sure that we will get them tomorrow" whispered the taller elf and put her left hand on Janelle's ass, kneading it softly through the fabric. She received a teasing smirk in response which caused that a smile appeared on her lips.
"We have almost two hours left. We should use the time wisely" whispered Janelle with an erotic and teasing voice.
"I have the perfect idea how we could pass the time" responded Cairaeleen teasingly and tightened her grip on Janelle's butt.
"Tell me" said Janelle with a wide grin on her face. She stared into her girlfriend's green glowing eyes. She admired the beauty of these eyes in which she could get lost forever if she would stare into them for too long. Cairaeleen's lips formed a small smile as she recognized her girlfriend's staring. She brought her left hand up to the hybrid's face and caressed her cheeks softly. Her eyes light up as her gaze shifted to the smaller woman's half revealed breasts. She regarded the woman's cleavage and shoved her backward slowly until her back was pressed against the wall. Cairaeleen felt a soft hand under her chin which lifted it up and forced her to look into the hybrid's eyes. "I'm here" said Janelle with a cheeky smirk on her face.
"C'mon, you are spoiling my fun" replied Cairaeleen and pressed her upper tight between Janelle's legs, silencing the cheeky woman immediately and earning a quiet moan from her. She kept staring into Janelle's eyes as she gently thrust her upper thigh against the spot between her girlfriend's legs. Janelle wrapped her arm around the taller woman's waist and pulled her closer, pressing herself closer against her thigh.
"It seems that you really need me, honey" whispered Cairaeleen erotically and gave her girlfriend a wide grin. Before Janelle was able to respond, her girlfriend shifted her gaze away from her when a loud knock on the door was hearable.
"I better hope that the one who is disturbing us has a good reason or may the gods have mercy with him or her" cursed Cairaeleen silently and placed a quick kiss on Janelle's lips before she removed her upper thigh, much to the disappointment of the half-human who was full of anticipation. She looked at Janelle and noticed that she was blushing because of her distinctive lechery. She gave her a small smile before she turned around and walked towards the door. She opened it without hesitation, her eyes widened as she recognized the features of a familiar person.
"Mother, what are you doing here?" said Cairaeleen with a voice which told the woman in front of her, that she was really surprised to see her.
"Is that how children greet their mothers these days?" the woman with the purple dyed hair asked.
"Of course not, mother. I just haven't expected that you would visit me during the week" answered Cairaeleen quickly and pulled the older woman in a tight hug.
"I have heard that you're a going on a vacation trip. I'm busy at the weekend, so I thought I could visit you before you start your journey on Monday" said her mother and stroked her daughter's cheeks softly. "Can I come in or are you busy?"
"I..." started Cairaeleen but she was interrupted by the sound of cracking crockery.
"You have a guest?" asked her mother. An eyebrow was raised and the corner of her lips formed a small smile.
"Ah, yes. I have a guest, actually" responded Cairaeleen insecurely.
"Who is it?" Vaero? Lady Liadrin? The stable owner's daughter?" asked her mother curiously, her smile had become wider and she observed her daughter's facial features precisely.
"None of them" replied Cairaeleen shortly.
"Can I come in at least and meet the person?"
"Sure, if you insist" replied the younger elf and signalized her mother to follow her. Both women walked through the corridor and came to the living room. They spotted Janelle who was crouching on the floor and picked up the fragments of a broken casual cup. The hybrid stood up as soon as she noticed the two women. Her eyes regarded Cairaeleen's mother precisely, her lips formed to a smile and shy smile as she recognized the woman from one of Cairaeleen's photos. She knew immediately that the person was none other than her girlfriend's mother.
The body of Cairaeleen's mother was smaller and tender than Cairaeleen's. Compared to the visages of humans, her mother's face looked like she was in her thirties but Janelle knew that she was older than that. It was impossible to define her age but she guessed that she was at least three hundred years old. Janelle knew that elves could live for thousands of years and they could look very young for hundreds of years at least.
"May I introduce my new girlfriend Janelle. Janelle this is my mother"
"You can call me Sharrin if you want" said Cairaeleen's mother and extended her hand. Janelle shook it quickly and looked at the woman, who was giving her a small smile.
"I like your green dress Sharrin. It looks beautiful but I bet it was very expensive"
"Not really. You can get awesome looking dresses for a small amount of money in most of the stores" informed Sharrin and passed Janelle, then she sat down on a chair and regarded the two younger women.
"I will remember that. I'm sorry for dropping the cup" Janelle said and looked at Cairaeleen. The taller elf signalized that she didn't need to be sorry and she offered her a seat next to her mother. Janelle gave her a smile as she sat down next to Sharrin who was watching the pair with a smile on her lips.
"So, tell me something about yourself, Janelle" said Sharrin and looked at the hybrid with interest.
"Eh, where should I start? Or better, what do you want to know?"
"Age, occupation, family, hobbies and other personal stuff. If you want of course. I'm not forcing you to say anything you don't want to say" responded Sharrin and gave her daughter a thankful nod as she took the cup of tea out of her daughter's hands. She put it in front of her and tried to accelerate the tea's cooling by blowing softly against the surface of the hot liquid. Cairaeleen gave Janelle a cup which was filled with the same sort of tea, then she took a seat next to Janelle and wrapped her arm around her.
Janelle thought about her answers. She was unsure if she should tell Sharrin the truth. She looked at her girlfriend who gave her an encouraging nod. Janelle turned her head and looked at her girlfriend's mother. "I'm twenty-four years old and ..." started Janelle and wanted to say more but she was interrupted by Sharrin who spoke out surprised "Only twenty-four? That's very very young for a blood elf". She looked at her daughter who gave her a calm and shy smile.
"That means that my sweet daughter is at least three times older than you. I never knew you are into teenagers my dear" responded Sharrin and gave her daughter an amused look. Cairaeleen looked at Janelle and noticed that she was not offended to be called a teenager. Janelle didn't know the exact age when blood elves were regarded as full adults but she was sure that the reason, that elves needed to live longer than humans to become adults, was the average life expectancy of an elf which was normally at least ten times longer than the life expectancy of an average human.
"Love has its own mind. We can't decide what our hearts want and who we love" responded Cairaeleen and stroked the back of Janelle's hand, which was not holding the teacup.
"You are right my dear" agreed Sharrin and took a sip of the still hot tea. "Hm, delicious"
"I'm glad that you like the tea. It's rose-hip tea"
"I always like it"
"I know" responded Cairaeleen and took a sip from her cup. She enjoyed the delicious taste of the tea as it flowed down her throat, increasing the warm feeling in her upper body already which existed because of Janelle's presence. Cairaeleen placed a soft kiss on the hybrid's cheek and stared into her eyes, telling her with the twinkle of her eyes that Janelle should continue to answer her mother's questions. Janelle nodded and broke eye contact after almost five minutes of staring in the taller woman's eyes. She shifted her gaze towards Sharrin and regarded her face.
"I'm working as a mercenary or assassin. I'm trying to eliminate as many members of the Alliance as I can. My only living relative is my sister who is currently wandering around in the Eastern Plaguelands" said Janelle.
"What about your hobbies?" asked Sharrin and took a gulp of tea.
"Hm, I like to read but besides that, I don't have any real hobbies like others"
"Reading is fun. I enjoy reading too in my free time. But my work is taking so much time that I barely have time left for reading"
"What do you do for a living?" asked Janelle and emptied her teacup.
"Haven't my daughter told you?" Sharrin's question was immediately responded by a shake of Janelle's head. "I own a trading company in Silvermoon City. Usually, I'm busy for at least twelve hours every day with making sure that everything is alright. I have to make sure that the goods are delivered and I have to make sure that we have enough goods in the stocks. Then I have to control that my employees are working correctly and stuff like that. It's really exhausting but that's worth it. I can't complain about the amount of money I earn" she explained and signalized her daughter that she should refill her empty cup. Cairaeleen did as she was told and took a sip from her own cup.
"Leading a successful company can always be a challenge but if you lead it correctly you can become very rich"
"I can't complain about my affluence" responded Sharrin.
"That's nice to hear"
"So, how you two have met?" asked Sharrin and directed a glare at her daughter, who wasn't showing any signs of nervousness.
"We have met each other in the Eversong Woods" responded Cairaeleen shortly. She felt bad about telling her mother a half-truth but she didn't want to explain everything to her mother. She had to keep Janelle's origin and her work as a thief secret as long as Vaero was a threat and as long as they hadn't found Janelle's sister.
"I'm listening" said Sharrin and gave her daughter a teasing smile. Cairaeleen smiled back and started to tell her mother the story. Of course, she didn't mention that Janelle had been unconsciousness and injured when then she had found her, instead, she told her that Janelle was wandering from village to village and had gotten lost in the Eversong Woods. She told her that she had met her during her duty while Janelle had been wandering around. She also told her that she had shown Janelle the way to the village and they had started to get know each other during the walk.
"How long are you together?" asked Sharrin, not hiding her interest.
"About a week" responded Janelle and gave Sharrin a shy smile.
"Only a week? Then I should give you more free time before you are separated for a week because of my daughter's vacation journey.
"Actually, she is coming with me" responded Cairaeleen and pulled Janelle closer, almost onto her lap.
"A journey is perfect to get better known to each other. I like the idea. Anyways, I'm going now. It was nice to meet you Janelle and of course, to met you again my dear daughter" said Sharrin and stood up. Cairaeleen did the same and hugged her mother tightly, earning a soft kiss on the forehead in response. Sharrin extended her hand and shook Janelle's hand quickly. She wished the pair a good evening and a nice journey before she walked out of her daughter's house and closed the door behind her.
Cairaeleen looked at Janelle and gave her a soft kiss. "I haven't planned to introduce you so quickly to my family but the destiny had its own mind" said Cairaeleen and kissed Janelle. Janelle kissed her back and wrapped her arms around the taller elf's neck. "Now we can continue what we have started" whispered Janelle and placed a few kisses on her girlfriend's neck.
"We have thirty minutes left before I have to get ready for my duty"
"That's enough time," said Janelle with an erotic voice and dragged Cairaeleen to the bedroom.
"You are allowed to enter" shouted a voice which sounded similar to the noise which was produced when a crypt door was opened. Lady Liadrin, who had gotten used to the voice of Sylvanas Windrunner over the past years, opened the door to the office of the leader of the Forsaken and walked through it. She spotted the Dark Lady sitting behind her desk while her right-hand and champion Nathanosa sat on her desk and adjusted her clothing. She tightened up the belt of her trousers and looked at her queen for the last time before she passed Liadrin and walked out of the office. Liadrin's gaze followed Nathanosa until she was out of her sight, then she shifted her gaze to Sylvanas. The ruler of Undercity gave her an amused look and signalized her to come closer.
Liadrin did as she was told and stepped to the desk. Sylvanas stood up and walked around her desk, pulling Liadrin in a tight embrace and placing a soft kiss on her lips.
"You know that I'm here because of duty not for our pleasures, right?" Liadrin asked and stared in the red eyes of the undead elf.
"Of course, I know but we have enough time after we are done with our meeting" responded Sylvanas and gave the paladin a teasing smile.
"I had hoped that you would say that" said Liadrin and pulled Sylvanas in for another kiss, this time it lasted longer and was more passionate than the first welcoming kiss. They held the kiss for several moments until Liadrin pulled away and observed Sylvanas' amused facial expression. She folded her arms in front of her chest and said "I have important news for our problem"
"Explain"
"My spies have spotted a woman in the Eastern Plaguelands which appearance fits the description. According to them, she is wandering around for weeks without a real destination" explained Liadrin and shoved her ass on the edge of the desk, her back pointed towards the other side of her room while she looked at Sylvanas. The Dark Lady spread her legs with her left upper thigh and stepped between Liadrin's legs so that their hips almost touched.
"And you are telling me this for what reason?" whispered Sylvanas and ran her hand over Liadrin's left cheek.
"Because I need your help" responded Liadrin and looked at her part-time lover full of expectation.
"I will help you but it has its price" whispered Sylvanas with an erotic voice and ran her index finger over Liadrin's rosy, with slightly lip-stick covered, lips. Her other hand was placed on Liadrin's hip and caressed it softly.
"Tell me your price"
"Oh, you know exactly what I want from you" said Sylvanas with a wide smile on her lips. She leaned forward and pressed her hip against Liadrin's, running her hand over her belly as she placed a soft kiss on Liadrin's lips. Liadrin closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the Queen's cold lips against her warm ones. She had gotten used to Sylvanas' cold touch over the past years since she had found Sylvanas again after the monster Arthas Menethil had left their homeland in ruins.
She opened her eyes and stared into the red slits which regarded her precisely. "Your dark rangers are the best scouts and hunters of the Horde. I would be happy with you could send a group of your best rangers after the human, but do me a favour and don't kill her. I want her alive" said Liadrin and wrapped her arm around Sylvanas' back, pulling her closer until their bodies met which caused that a wave of excitement rushed through the paladin's body.
"I will send my most skilled rangers after her but they will need their time. You can't expect that they will find her in the next few days but I'm pretty sure that they will get her in one or two weeks" whispered Sylvanas and brought her mouth to Liadrin's left ear, kissing it softly.
"Now where we have cleared this up, we can enjoy each other" whispered Sylvanas with a teasing and erotic voice. She squatted down and started to pull Liadrin's legwear down.
