Friday, 26 October 2018, Cavendish family mansion, Edinburgh, Scotland
Some days were passing since the girls were being moved to the base in Arcturus and the others that were left stayed at the Cavendish family mansion, still kind of keeping the contact of a moment or another, when Laura would go out to talk to her wife and say that things were ok and also to be a little more sweet with her. At this time the trick was working very well and this time there would be another one of the girls coming, which in this case was Hellene that had won some skate championships around the United States, raising more money for the phoenix project.
From the airport Hellene was picked up by the family's driver, arriving back at the mansion, where there were also some spies watching the girl from afar, already starting the first deception that was the dolls of Laura and Diana hugging her sister pretending to be normal people, they even had voices, that were made with the abilities that Bernadette had to control what each doll spoke.
" I thought you were never coming back " said the dummy of the false Laura.
" Ahhhh, we stayed a long time to see if they would release us, I won some competitions there and now it seems that I am a little free until the beginning of the season next year, there will be a winter break, maybe they will call me to do some more performances, I only know that they loved that filming in San Francisco, we even did another one in Los Angeles too, it was part of an ingenious marketing idea they did to sell in the California region " said the younger McLaren.
" That's it little sister, you're doing great " said the fake Diana patting her on the back until they all came in.
Upon entering the mansion, Croix welcomes the redhead with a big hug, as do the other girls who were there, they wave back at the purple"eyed one, who simply starts laughing as she notices that they even had other dolls and with that even Bernadette casts a spell to inhibit the sound.
" They are falling for it by the looks of it, these dolls really manage to convince a lot, even in the hair part, it got a realistic look, even the swaying of mother Laura's tits were replicated hahaha " Hellene said laughing.
" We were improving every day, adding more physics to be something convincing," Croix said.
" I really wanted to see mother Laura and little sister, are they well? " McLaren asks.
" They are, the training there is much more intense than here, they are managing to sort of assemble some robots as well to make the mission more successful, here Croix has built and still builds some defences, we leave everything half disguised and these cultists will also be in great danger " said mother Cavendish.
" And what's the plan now? " Said the purple-eyed one.
" Come with me and first of all get something to eat young lady, you must be tired after that flight " Bernadette said.
Without disagreeing much, the girl and her girlfriend eat a little bit, going to the dining room where they have a more relaxed meal, being some X-burger and fries, then they go walking to the meeting room, with the bags already being left in the rooms, where the pictures with the defenses are shown, as well as the presence of the MGE, which until then the two girls had not yet fully observed in practice.
" Well, these are our biggest defenses, this is the MGE, it was the one Diana used to try to defeat Margaret, it is also the one we have been perfecting to defend ourselves from the cultists, it has a limited duration, but it is extremely useful to defend ourselves from the attacks that will come for a short time, so much so that we will even make some reserves when this one ends " said Croix.
" Woah... Fuck, you guys had already told the plan from afar, but now up close I see the creativity, especially in that thing that looks like a backpack " McLaren said.
" Our plan is simple, you will help a bit to control the dolls as well, fool the cultists outside into thinking that all contact is half natural, so they will think they are still here and will collect false information," Bernadette said.
" And why don't we capture them, or try to find them, something like that, just stay here and wait anyway? " Marianne asks.
" It would be a good idea too, but that's for the strategic advantage, they'll think we're being silly, when in fact we're not, so much so that the training is done with a whole frame, without showing everything, we kind of use a place here inside to do these things and even Jasminka is one of the most impressive, she's the strongest here " said Meridies.
" Nothing that doesn't surprise me, she has a demon inside her, that's why she can do all that, I warned since back there that that lassie was a bit strange and you didn't listen to me " said the purple-eyed one.
" I already knew, so did Laura, we're just sort of helping her get a grip on that side of it, after all this kind of magic is too useful to scare some cultists, you'll still be impressed with what she's capable of doing," said Mum Cavendish.
From there they were explaining a little more of the plan, kind of to mask a false routine and like this to go gathering false information also to the cultists that are on the outside analyzing everything and kind of getting the information that is needed from the field, like this serves of distraction to plant some defenses more, like the equipments of a force field that will be activated when the attack starts, holding a good time.
Then Hellene nods to her mother and Croix and goes already starting the realization of the plan, in this case getting control of Amanda, Akko, Amanda and Constanze, using until a considerable knowledge to move the dolls along with her through the corridors, where they were grouped in a balcony, already starting to pretend a conversation.
" All the danger we have been in these days. It was good to take the pressure off for a few days, but I really missed you guys," McLaren said.
" We felt it too, but tell me Hellene, did you get something for us from your sponsorship, I can't take mine anymore," said the fake O'Neill.
" Ah O'Neill you keep insisting on it still, stop filling up my little sister so much " Said the fake Cavendish.
" Hey, I don't care, why did you send this love? " Whispers the redhead.
" Stay in character " Whispers to Leclerc.
" Oh I really don't care, I think it's good to have more of us there, it's just that it's been difficult, the old man there doesn't want to throw money away on another young skater, only if she deserves it, then you have to prove yourself Amanda, if you really want this sponsorship so much.
And from there they pretend a conversation about the sponsorships, where from far away the cultists are watching, even though they couldn't hear very well it was what was necessary to gather the information they wanted.
Then they go to their rooms, and the fake Constanze goes to the laboratory, and the fake Amanda to her room. The fakes Diana and Akko go with the two of them to the bedroom, where they lie on the bed, and take the opportunity to close the window curtains so that no one can observe them, using a spell to inhibit the sounds.
" Really, I didn't know we were going to end up in such a tense situation. " said Hellene.
" Love, it would be too risky, have you stopped to think that we could end up dying in this one too, they are volunteering for the highest risk mission," Marianne said.
" Exactly because of that, I don't want to lose Diana, Akko, my mother and everybody in this mission, I want them to make it, I am also a witch who can help, I have these arms, I have the most trained body too, I live life and death situation all the time at work... I just don't want to lose them... It's not the action... It's the fear of staying here being the one left " McLaren said half holding back her tears.
" Oh love, they will succeed, we have to believe and think how important you are here too, precisely because you are strong, your defence of the mansion is what can save your mother Bernadette's life, little Charlotte's and much more " Leclerc said cheering up.
" I love you too much you know... You know how to cheer me up when the situation gets like this " said the redhead that was wrapping his arms around the waist of dark"haired.
" Well, let's just not go too far hahaha, the girls are here in " Said the French woman laughing.
" Ahhhh, Diana and Akko, we forgot about you, I think it's better that we keep on acting, but know this Marianne Leclerc, tonight I'm going to bite you all over," said the Irish girl running her finger along her girlfriend's chin.
They kept pretending this time without inhibiting the sounds, still with the window closed, they were pretending that they were playing a videogame, playing Mario Party on Marianne's gamecube, where they were pretending that the two players that were bots were the two dolls, what was being something to deceive the cultists, although they don't have advanced espionage equipment about this part, they were kind of observing everything by the reflection of the light on the curtain.
Meanwhile in another room of the house, in a hidden laboratory, there was Croix doing some improvements in the MGE, who arrived there to give a look was Bernadette.
" So Croix, how are things? " Cavendish asks.
" The MGE here in my version gave a good improvement, I took what Cons did, gave a beautiful reverse engineering and was giving a little improvement just to see what it was and wow, as this was getting incredible, I could understand better the systems, on the issue of duration I increased more reserve, the magic tank was really small because that was a test version who knows so we can last longer " said Meridies.
" That's very good, let's make enough for everyone then? " said the platinum haired one.
" I can handle the witches, but the mundane ones won't, but we'll make a plan of escape and defense for these people, we'll leave them hidden in an underground path, where they'll be near the exit to the mansion's lake, so that if something happens to us, we'll have a way to protect Charlotte and the people who have nothing to do with this magic thing we're fighting," said the Italian who continued assembling the machine.
" Ahhhhhhhh, this time without Laura and Chariot is exhausting, I can imagine your pain now, being away from someone you love is very painful... " The Scottish lass said.
" It's horrible, but there's something that's always been motivating me a lot these days is in the matter of not thinking too much, of just trying to relax, but still that Chariot thing is hammering in my head, I can't stop thinking about my beloved, her... My life kind of lost so much meaning Someone who was by my side the whole time, just slipping out of my hands like that, because of that damn Margareth," said the lilac haired girl half shedding some tears.
" I understand and very much so... Chariot was like a daughter to me too, more to Laura especially, I felt like I had lost Diana or Hellene when she was gone, her presence really was something that made a difference... I'm going to miss that whole magical spirit she brought with her, she cheered up everyone around her," Bernadette said.
" Well let's get back to work here, do you want to help Bern? We can produce faster if we do it together " Croix said and Cavendish nodded.
They went on building the new MGE with the version created by Croix, which was a modification, which can handle more magic, without many changes in magic power, but that already reveals itself as a machine that can bring an extra protection and security.
Back to the girls' room they spent some minutes pretending to play that game, and later they left the room, walking to another place, where they took the fake Amanda and the fake Constanze to go to the kitchen, pretending to meet them there to get some food.
" Look at you guys leaving at the same time as us " Hellene said as the two dolls accompanied them.
" What are they doing? " asks the fake O'Neill.
" We went to play some Mario Party and went out to get some chips " McLaren said.
" Ahhhhhh, look at them, they didn't even call, hahahaha, I'm just kidding, I'll come to your room soon so we can play some more, staying in the room is a drag " said the fake American.
" Then let's go, if you have nothing to do " Marianne said.
" I still have a few things to sort out regarding the skateboard, but I'll stick to it later, and you came to do what here? " said the fake salmon haired girl.
Simply as Constanze was mute she just shrugged, where the girls went sort of grabbing some food from the pantry, taking advantage of the dolls to grab a little more, where they went taking everything to the room and then left the dolls back in place, where they went taking the opportunity to take a break to eat.
" Hmmmmm, that's what I was talking about, at least these bo... I almost talk shit here " Said Hellene who was devouring the small potatoes.
" You never eat anything healthy love, it's impressive and yet you still have that defined abdomen " Leclerc said running his hand over his girlfriend's belly.
" And you still like that abdomen I know " McLaren said with a mischievous grin.
" I like you, everything about you my pretty one, you are my little redheaded cutie " said Marianne who was giving her girlfriend some chips in her mouth.
Spending their time together playing and deceiving the cultists was what these two were doing, planning everything with the greatest detail so that they wouldn't end up making a mistake, which they ended up doing.
Meanwhile away from there, precisely at the cultists
base, one of the members arrived at the throne room to tell the news that came from the espionage squad that was in front of the mansion.
" Sovereign I am sorry to disturb your superiority, but I bring news of one more person arriving " Said the boy bowing.
" Excellent, then tell me what you bring me from there and who has arrived " Daryl said.
" Hellene McLaren and Marianne Leclerc, they returned today from their trip to the United States, apparently they are going to stay for good, but we haven't been able to get wiretaps there yet, they are being very careful " said the cultist.
" Of course they are, they think we are idiots, they know they are being watched by us, it was very clear that... Well, we don't need bugs, just watch the place from outside, let's cause a false panic and tension so that they get as tense as possible, good, and with the presence of Hellene and Marianne we have two more to kill, anyway, spy on these two a lot, they are strong witches too and can make the way very difficult for us," said the witch to the cultist.
" So we will still continue the attack anyway? " asks the cultist.
" Don't you see how obvious it is? We will have a declared surrender coming later, or even we will decimate everything, we will only make the thing very tense, but we can't delay too, or they can simply bring some weapon to attack us, we are there in a cold war between us that will heat up, then we play the other plan forward, we destroy the McLaren mansion and finally the final plan will be done, we will be what was always dreamed to that order, the world that was denied to us back there will show its faces again " Cavendish said to the boy that was just following what she was hearing.
" I will return with more information sovereign " Said the same who was bowing and then leaving until another appeared in the room, already bowing to the leader who had his back to himself.
" It's time, come on you'll feel a little of what it's like to know the truth of the great Pulcher Magus, you're a strong boy by the way " Said Daryl while keeping the mask and walking to a reserved room.
" Yes my liege, I am ready to meet the true face of Pulcher Magus " Said the boy who went seeing the mask falling off and then noticing the female face just like the body.
" Pulcher... Pulcher Magus is a woman? " Said the same in shock.
" And a beautiful woman don't you think? Now come, delight yourself with your sovereign, if you're a good boy I'll let you stay a while longer alive, you seem to be someone who doesn't waste himself " said Daryl who was lowering her robes more and the boy himself was not hesitating either and did the same.
One more victim was made at that time, Daryl simply had no mercy killing the boy after the act and throwing the body in the middle of the fish pond, whenever he was fulfilled in matters of pleasure, she was waiting for more news from the mansion and also on the progress of the mission, where another member arrived telling about news around the plan of causing panic in the city of Edinburgh distracting from the main attack that will be in the mansion.
Hellene and Marianne arrived, they were giving a nice trick to the cultists, still keeping the lie that the girls who are in Arcturus, are around the mansion, pretending with some good performances, which will be the perfect distraction for a plan that may have great chances to work and put an end once and for all to this situation.
See you tricky witches…
