Chapter Five: Beltane
(Warning. Mature content!)
"Come on! Wake up!" Tally shouted while throwing a pillow across the room. Alessia yawned and sat up. Stretching her arms out. Tossing the pillow back to Tally who caught it. They had been here for months now. It felt longer since she was here months before Conscription day.
"Come on ladies! It's Beltane eve!" Abigail spoke. Alessia raised a brow.
"Ooh!" Tally giggled. Alessia rolled her eyes.
"There are going to be men coming!" Abigail spoke. This seemed to have excited Tally even more.
"Alessia doesn't seem to be rah rah rah about it." Raelle spoke.
"She only likes girls." Tally spoke. Hearing gasps from Abigail and Raelle.
"Wow. Well, I never thought I'd have two women lovers in my unit." Abigail spoke with a smile. Alessia jumped down from her bed and grabbed her uniforms. Changing into the black shirt as they wore their gray uniforms. They still had training.
"Tally, you need to eat actual food before anything." Alessia spoke as they all laughed at this.
"Let's go Ladies!" Anacostia's voice shouted.
"What about breakfast?" Tally asked.
"We're going!" Abigail spoke as she left the room. Taking the lead. Alessia followed and was humming softly. Her eyes were scanning the hallways as the recruits were all giggly and excited. Alessia had no idea what all the excitement was about but she could feel the intense energy rising everywhere. They made it to the mess hall quickly. She picked a small bowl of fruit to eat. Sitting across from Tally who was basically bouncing about.
"Tally calm down. There is plenty of time to release that energy." Abigail spoke softly.
"Uh huh." Raelle spoke. Alessia was just silently eating her fruit. She had no idea how to react to this. She could see her fiery friend constantly looking at the clock as Alessia chuckled at this.
"Come on ladies. Let's go before Tally starts acting too weird." Alessia spoke.
"Hey!" Tally shouted. Alessia laughed as she felt her arm linked.
"Where do we go?" Alessia asked Abigail who took the lead. It seemed the other ladies decided to join them.
"Entrance of the main building." Abigail spoke. They all nodded while making their way over. Tally was basically trying to get them to run.
"Let's stand here." Raelle spoke as she sat on the rail side. Alessia was on Abigail's right side face from the building as Tally on her left. Raelle was in the corner.
"Men! Front and center!" The Witchfather shouted. Then there was screaming and shouting from cheering.
"Whoo! WHOO!" Tally shouted. Alessia laughed at her friend as did Raelle. They looked at each other before busting out laughing more. Alessia then looked around. Anacostia was speaking to a redhead woman she hadn't seen before. Her eyes caught Izadora's, who turned her head to see her. She smiled at Alessia. Alessia blushed and quickly looked away.
"They do like to peacock and strut." Abigail spoke. Alessia caught on what she meant and snorted. "Close your mouth." Abigail spoke to Tally who was looking like she was about to explode with pleasure. Her mouth slightly opened.
"Goddess protect Tally." Alessia laughed. Seeing a man no older than they were stopped by them.
"Hey Bells." He spoke as he did a handshake with Abigail.
"All right, Buttonwood. Good to see you." Abigail spoke as he left. "Gerit Buttonwood. We grew up together." Abigail answered Tally's look. They all stood up straight as Alder came up the stairs.
"Rough room. Ten minutes!" Anacostia shouted as she followed Alder. Alessia felt the Necro teacher brush against her again. She avoided eye contact. Tally however was smiling at her.
"Need you time in the suite, Tally?" Abigail asked, teasing her.
"Very funny." Tally spoke. Both Alessia and Raelle laughed as they took their leave to the rough room.
Alessia was handed a small object from Izadora who smiled at her. She turned it over in her hands while examining it. She stood next to Tally who was also looking at it. She never looked at the Necro teacher since last night.
"Oh! It's a scry!" Alessia spoke with a smile. Looking at her friend.
"A what?" She asked.
"It allows us to look behind corners." Alessia spoke.
"How do you know? You've never seen one." Abigail spoke.
"You always underestimate me." Alessia muttered under her breath as Abigail stood on Tally's other side. Raelle was on Alessia's left.
"We are going to be using seed thirty-seven. It is below the range of human hearing." Anacostia spoke. Alessia started her seed as it went lower and lower as it was now low where she couldn't hear it. She held the scry up.
"Well looks like she got a head start and showed you all how to sound the seed. Hurry up!" Anacostia shouted as the others began. Alessia could feel her jaw move as her breath was now on the scry. She was looking on the tiny screen and back to the wall that was hiding the flags.
"Red!" Tally shouted. Alessia looked at her with a confused look.
"Correct. Good start" Anacostia shouted. "When you identify one, call it out! You are competing as units." She added.
"It's blue." Libba shouted.
"No. Next!" Anacostia shouted. Alessia saw her scry's screen move and she gasped with a smile.
"Black!" Alessia shouted.
"Correct!" She smiled as she felt her arm bump by Abigail.
"That taste in your mouth? It's failure. Mother's milk to a Swythe, I'm told." Abigail taunted Libba.
"Reminder! You are using seed thirty-seven, the seed of revealing." Anacostia spoke.
"Oh. The one Alessia taught us the other day!" Glory spoke. Alessia nodded her head with a smile.
"Moffett! If I can hear you, you are doing it wrong." Anacostia spoke. Alessia was singing the seed again as it was below hearing.
"This is amazing." Tally whispered.
"I'm pretty sure my scry is broken." Abigail spoke.
"I am a hundred percent sure it is not." Anacostia replied.
"Tally, what's the next one?" Raelle asked. Alessia looked at Tally as well.
"Do we want to give someone else a chance?" Tally asked.
"No!" All three of them whispered in unison.
"Red, black, yellow, green." She spoke while pointing. Alessia was beaming at her friend now. "Orange." Was the final one.
"How are you doing that?" Glory asked. Alessia crossed her arms. She felt proud of her fiery friend.
"I don't know. Just am." Tally replied.
"Can anyone tell me why Tally is excelling right now?" Anacostia asked. Alessia was stumped at this.
"Because she saw the men and got charged up." Libba spoke. Alessia felt her cheeks flush at this. Everyone was laughing at this.
"That! Is correct, Swythe." Anacostia spoke as everyone went silent. "There is going to be a lot of energy around here in the next few days. All the way to Beltane. Use that energy and put it into your work. It will make you better, stronger." Anacostia spoke. "NIce work Craven." She added. Tally was beaming and nodded her head once. Alessia raised her scry back up to see the colors. Sure enough, they were all there that Tally called out. Everyone began to leave.
"Hey." Libba spoke as Alessia smiled.
"Hi." She replied.
"Could you um. Well, help me with the scry?" She asked.
"Yeah of course." She spoke as Libba held hers up again. She didn't hear the seed being used.
"Ah, the issue is your breath is not on the screen." Alessia spoke.
"Oh. Wow. Ha ha." Libba spoke. Alessia could feel her new friend's embarrassment.
"It's okay. It takes practice. Just channel that energy." She spoke. Holding hers up as well. Showing Libba how to use her breath onto the screen.
"Oh! I see it now!" Libba was beaming. Alessia nodded. Setting the scry back into the wooden box. Still avoiding eye contact.
"See you in the gym." She waved to Libba who nodded.
The news had reached the base in no time. Alessia frowned while watching the screen. Another attack. She sighed and rubbed Tally's arm. She looked as if she was going to cry. She could feel the shift of energy around the base.
"Come on. We have to head back." Alessia spoke. She gently linked her arm with Tally's as she guided her friend back to the training hall.
"Total ice. Like Antarctic ice." Tally weakly spoke. They were working on their windstrikes personally now. There were three concrete pillars on the other side of the gym. Alessia had her arms crossed. Looking down to the ground.
"Some were stuck under the water." She added.
"Does a person's lungs explode?" Abigail asked.
"When a pneumothorax occurs." Alessia spoke while looking up. She saw brown eyes watching her from the Necro teacher.
"Huh?" Abigail asked.
"No. It collapses. Not explode." Alessia put it simply.
"What's a pneumax whatever that word is?" Tally asked.
"Pneumothorax. When air leaks into your chest and pushes on your lungs." Alessia spoke as she looked over to Abigail.
"Ska." Tally weakly used her seed.
"Concentrate!" Anacostia shouted. Seeing a girl not even use a seed. Alessia dropped her arms and put them behind her back.
"Simms! Buck up! You are in the United States Army! Are you going to cry every time the Spree attacks?" Anacostia yelled at her. "We are here to crush them! Fall out! Playing field in ten minutes!" Their drill sergeant yelled.
"You okay?" Raelle asked Tally who nodded. Alessia was following her unit.
"Private Solace! A word!" Anacostia shouted. Alessia stopped and gulped.
"Oh. Good luck." Abigail spoke. She watched her unit leave as she turned on the spot and walked up to Anacostia. She pointed to the pillar. Alessia took a deep breath.
"Ska!" She used her seed. Watching it hit the pillar lightly like the others. She felt a presence next to her instantly. Her forehead being touched.
"You are stronger than this. Why do you hold back?" Izadora asked.
"I have no idea what you are talking about." She spoke. Then her throat was grabbed. Alessia kept her face normal. Her heart was racing as she was trying to calm it down. Her blue eyes never left the dark brown ones.
"Do not lie to me." Izadora spoke softly. Alessia then nodded her head.
"Again!" Anacostia shouted. Alessia took a deep breath and pushed.
"Skaa!" She shouted her seed. Watching the pillar explode. She stood tall with her hands behind her back.
"You've been holding back. Why?" Anacostia asked.
"Shouldn't I be working with my unit and not outshining them?" Alessia asked.
"You are only as strong as the weakest in your unit." Izadora spoke. She heard the words before. Alessia felt the Necro's hand trailing down her arm.
"Stop holding back." Anacostia spoke. Alessia nodded her head lightly.
"Yes ma'am." She replied.
"Good. Dismissed." With that, Alessia gave her drill sergeant a bow before turning sharply and left the gym. Feeling the eyes burn on her.
"Hey guys!" She shouted as she jogged to catch up.
"What did Anacostia want?" Raelle asked.
"She wanted me to windstrike the pillar." Alessia spoke.
"Probably because you didn't get a turn." Tally spoke as Alessia nodded. She saw all the cadets piling onto the playing field. There were bleachers as they took their seats.
"Hey there's Scylla." Alessia spoke as she nudged Raelle. She laughed.
"I forgot to ask. How do you two know each other?" Raelle asked.
"She stayed with my mom and I for a while." Alessia spoke. Watching her friend take her leave to talk to the young Necro. Alessia smiled and waved at Scylla. She waved back. Alessia took a seat next to Abigail as Tally was getting excited again.
"Hello ladies! I am Lieutenant Sergeant and Junior Matrimonialist Berryessa Tansey. This is the kickoff to Beltane." A woman she saw earlier as she got a name to the face. Alessia looked around as the woman was talking. Seeing a guy sit next to Tally as she went dumb in the brain. Alessia laughed at her friend's reaction.
"The official start of the festivities is Mead and Greet at the Memorial Hall, where you're encouraged to mingle with your male counterparts, getting to know as many of them as possible." The Matrimonialist spoke.
"Oh dear Goddess." Alessia spoke under her breath.
"You should know that the strength of Beltane lies in participation, in whatever way you see fit." She added. Alessia's mind drifted back to the rough room when the Necro grabbed her neck. She was blushing at this thought. Did she like that? She felt something ache in her lower area as she groaned softly. Seeing Tally watching her. She rubbed her cheeks.
"How is this for participation?" Abigail asked as she stood up, taking her jacket off.
"Yeah!" Tally shouted and followed. "Raelle, Alessia. You two coming?" Tally asked.
"Yeah, what the hell." Raelle spoke. Alessia smiled and took her jacket off as well. Running onto the field and grabbing a lacrosse stick as well. Hearing a seed being used as it began to rain. Apparently the women wanted to see the men wet. She threw the ball to another while running after Raelle. Seeing Tally on the ground. She ran over. Laughing lightly.
"Tally, you okay?" Raelle asked as Alessia held out a hand for her.
"I think I just got flirted with." Tally spoke while laughing.
"My little girl's all grown up." Raelle spoke while moving hair from Tally's face. Laughing as they began to play again. Alessia skidded across the field in the mud as she tripped. Landing face first into the mud. Hearing a roar of laughter as she stood up. Wiping the mud off.
"You okay?!" Tally asked as she grabbed her arm. Alessia laughed and wiped mud onto Tally's face. "Hey!" Tally smiled.
"Good for your complexion!" Alessia shouted before leaving. Seeing Raelle knocked down. She ran over to her. Grabbing her arm to help her up.
"What was that about?" Tally asked.
"No idea." Raelle spoke.
"Come on!" Alessia spoke as she grabbed both of them and led the way out.
She was laying on a blanket, soaking in the warm air. Her mind drifted off again. Feeling the hand against her throat again. She blushed and sighed. The energy of Beltane was getting to her as she was daydreaming. The Necro teacher pinning her down. She was blushing at this.
"Earth to Alessia!" Tally shouted.
"Huh?" Alessia sat up quickly. Rubbing her face and sighed. She grabbed her drink and began to drink it. It was mead. Seeing two guys talking to Abigail. Tally was looking at Gerit.
"Just go talk to him." Raelle spoke.
"And say what? Hi, I'm Tally. A total virgin and hot for any part of you that's available?" Tally asked. Alessia snorted at this and then smiled.
"How about just hi?" Raelle asked.
"Doesn't matter what you say. Let him do the heavy lifting." Abigail spoke.
"She's right." Witchfather spoke as he walked up to them. Alessia was looking elsewhere. Her eyes caught the brown ones. Wondering why she was walking with Anacostia. Their eyes met. Alessia choked on her drink and quickly laid back down.
"You okay?" Tally asked. Alessia nodded her head.
"Shame is for civilians." Abigail said. Watching Witchfather leave. Seeing the boys come back as Abigail took them elsewhere. Alessia sat back up laughing.
"Only Abigail." Raelle spoke. "Give me a second." She spoke and took off.
"What's going on?" Tally asked as she turned. Alessia raised a brow. "I'm gonna head to the lake." Tally spoke. Alessia nodded. Watching Gerit follow Tally. She shook her head and smiled. She was now alone as Raelle took off to find Scylla. She sighed and stood up. Taking her bottle of mead with her as she left. Going back to the suite.
She changed her clothes after taking a shower. It was dark outside now. Knowing full well her unit was probably in the Memorial Hall. She decided to go. Walking silently down the pathway towards the Memorial Hall. It seemed like a small party was going on. She went into an empty room. Seeing different types of weapons. One thing caught her eyes. She walked over to the wooden case inside of a glass display case. She gasped softly. Seeing the different types of vocal cords being shown.
"That's when the Camarilla attacked and cut out their throats. Many years ago." A voice spoke that she knew well. It was so familiar. Just like from her memory. "Some of these are donors." Izadora spoke. She was wondering why the Necro was here and not somewhere else.
"I know." Alessia spoke as she looked up to the written information.
"That last one was taken out by Alder, two hundred years ago." Izadora spoke. Alessia looked at her. Furrowing her brows. "What is it?" She asked.
"That information is wrong." Alessia spoke. Izadora was watching her hard.
"What do you know?" She asked.
"Nothing." Alessia spoke. She shook her head and stepped back.
"Alessia." Izadora spoke. Grabbing her arm. It was gentle. "What do you know?" She asked again.
"Only from what my grandmother told me. My great grandmother was killed by a Camarilla less than two hundred years ago." Alessia spoke.
"I see. Thank you. Are you coming to the labs?" Izadora asked.
"No. I..I uh." Alessia was stuttering her words. She could see the Necro smirking at her. There was something in her eyes. "I have to go!" Alessia spoke as she quickly turned and moved out of the room. Feeling her heart against her chest. She decided to go back to the suite. Her face and body were betraying her. She hated how she was having a hard time controlling herself. She changed into her night wear. Climbing into her bed.
"May the mother give me strength." Alessia sighed. Sending a silent prayer to her.
"Alessia." A voice had woken her up. She sat up quickly and looked around.
"What is it?" She asked.
"Alder wants everyone in the field by the entrance." Tally spoke. Alessia nodded and looked around. Raelle wasn't in her bed. She frowned as she hopped off her bed. Putting on her black pants, shirt, and boots. Her jacket was on but not zipped up. Following Abigail out. The sun was high in the sky as it gave off warmth. Alessia's eyes caught Tally's as she frowned. They linked arms while heading to the grass with the rest of them. Seeing the Witchfather there as well. Alessia frowned. Something happened.
"Told you he was creepy." A girl spoke. Alessia shook her head.
"Porter Tipper was a rare kind of cadet and his life was cut too short." Witchfather spoke. She could feel the sadness from the energy around her. "We lost an extraordinary man who served his country. In his honor, flags around the base will fly at half mast." He spoke. Alessia was stomping her feet with the others.
"Your unit's attendance at Beltane is mandatory. However you wish to participate is up to you." Alder spoke. Alessia missed half of what was said as she was scanning the faces of her comrades.
"Heard she went out of canon to save him." A girl spoke.
"Raelle is naturally gifted and don't let me hear you say her name with your dirty, fetid mouths again. Got it?" Abigail yelled at her. Watching them take their leave. Alessia was already on her way back to the suite.
"I don't know what to wear!" Tally spoke. Alessia was already grabbing her outfit. She sat down. Hearing something in the window. Tally went to answer it. Alessia raised a brow. She stood next to Abigail, behind Tally.
"It's from Gerit. He..he drew his." Tally spoke as she was unrolling the scroll. Alessia gasped and covered her mouth. Wanting to gag.
"There is no way he's that big." Abigail spoke.
"Abigail! That's private!" Tally spoke. Raelle had come into the room. Seeing Tally hug her. Alessia followed. Giving Raelle a hug as well.
"You were brave." Alessia spoke softly.
"So that's still happening?" Raelle asked as Tally was trying to still pick out a dress. "Just hope we don't dance around a pole singing We all come from the Goddess." Raelle spoke as Abigail went off on her. Alessia stood up and went to the wardrobe. Pulling out a package.
"But you will be there right? So the rest of us can partake?" Tally asked.
"If my survival depends on Tally getting laid she needs a different dress." Raelle spoke. Hearing a gasp from Tally as they all laughed.
"She's right." Abigail spoke.
"Tally. Late birthday present." Alessia spoke. Seeing Tally smile and open the box. Pulling out a yellow dress. She gasped.
"It's perfect!" She hugged Alessia tightly.
"General Bellweather!" Tally spoke as Alessia stood at attention. Smiling at the woman. It was Abigail's mother. She had never met the woman but heard stories.
"Mother. What brings you here?" Abigail asked.
"Like most things." General Bellweather began.
"It's classified." Abigail spoke.
"We're gonna be late." Alessia spoke. She bowed to the general before taking her leave. Raelle and Tally followed. They made it to the rough room as the men were there as well. Alessia stood near the back. Watching the Witchfather speak. Anacostia and Izadora were on the side.
"Once you're issued your Scourge, it must be carried at your side at all times. Keep them in pristine condition." He spoke as her fellow sisters were receiving their scourges. "The quality of these weapons, especially once they are activated, can make all the difference on the battlefield." He spoke.
"These are beautiful. You made these?" Alessia heard Tally ask. Abigail looked as if she was going to laugh. Seeing everyone had gotten one but herself. She looked around and caught Abigail's eyes.
"Looks like the weirdo isn't liked." She spoke.
"Private Solace." Anacostia spoke as she tossed a practice one at her. She caught it. Frowning a little before looking down to the ground.
"Fall in! Let's go!" Anacostia shouted. Alessia was watching her Unit hit the mannequins with such power. She felt a tad jealous. Squeezing the Scourge in her hand. Seeing Tally knock several down. Seeing the smile on her friend's face.
"Wait until after Beltane. That's when they really get their power." Abigail spoke. She took a spot away from the others and out of sight. Grabbing the end and taking a stance. Turning on her feet as she whipped a mannequin. Watching it fall over. She sighed. It didn't feel right. It felt weak.
"Weirdo. Weirdo." Abigail was whispering as she circled Alessia. She had given up. Wondering why Abigail was teasing her. Or was it taunting? She put the Scourge up. Feeling jealous as her sisters had gotten one. Abigail and Tally had a reddish pink one as Raelle had a gray one. She followed them in silence as they took their leave.
"How come Alessia didn't get one?" Tally asked.
"Cause she's weird." Abigail spoke as she pointed at Alessia's necklace. Alessia touched her necklace and sighed.
"I'm not weird." She spoke.
"No normal witch carries a necro charm. Let alone wear one." Abigail spoke.
"What's wrong with necros?" Tally asked.
"Nothing." Alessia replied. She was starting to get salty. She stopped and closed her eyes. Taking a deep breath as she grounded herself. Finding her center. She felt eyes on her. She looked to her left to see Anacostia speaking to Izadora who was watching her. Alessia jogged back to her unit. It was almost time.
She was dressed in black palazzo pants and a white sleeveless button up blouse. Her hair was put up halfway and curled. She was still wearing her necklace. She wore no makeup. Black flat shoes. Sitting at the table with Abigail and Tally. Seeing Abigail touching a flower that would wrap around her finger. Tally was wearing the yellow dress she had gotten her. Raelle had finally shown up.
"Late as usual." Tally spoke.
"I know." Raelle spoke.
"I'm just glad you're feeling better. Also, damn you look hot." Tally added.
"I was prepared to glamor you guys, but I guess we don't need it. We look amazing!" Abigail spoke. Alessia chuckled. She was scanning the area again. She stopped. Her jaw dropped a little. She saw Izadora wearing a black dress that fitted her figure. Showing off her hips. The Necro teacher had her hair up in her signature bun. 'Goddess, she's so beautiful.' She thought. Their eyes caught as Alessia quickly looked at Tally who was staring at Gerit. Alessia felt something throb as she blushed.
"You okay?" Alessia asked Tally. She looked as if she was going to throw up. She followed Tally to the side as did Abigail.
"You wanted my advice?" Abigail asked.
"What?" Tally asked.
"Less is more. This is your time to explore and grow. Taste what you haven't before." Abigail spoke. Alessia could feel her heart beating hard and fast. It was the first time she had felt her feelings take over.
"So easy for you." Tally spoke.
"Hasn't always been." Abigail spoke.
"Liar." Alessia spoke. Hearing soft chuckles.
"The Reel!" The woman spoke as everyone gathered around to listen. "Is not just a dance, it is a divine ritual that knows you. It knows what you want." She spoke as she was slowly walking around. "It knows things about you that even some of you do not know about yourselves." She spoke.
"Where is she?" Tally asked. Alessia looked around the area. Avoiding eye contact while searching for Raelle.
"I'm going to kill Raelle." Tally whispered.
"You're not getting a fight from me." Abigail whispered. Alessia let out a soft laugh.
"Told you I was coming." Raelle spoke. Tally smiled. The music began. Alessia smiled as she took her shoes off along with the others. Running to the center. The drumming had taken over. The music took over. Alessia was no longer in control of her body as she moved in sync with the others. Laughing and dancing. She grabbed Tally's hips as they swayed. She twirls Tally into a guy's arms as Abigail grabs her arms. They turned in sync. Head tilted back before pushing back up. Smiling non stop as she was pushed away. She had switched dance partners several times. Feeling a pair of strong hands take her own and hold them up as her feet danced to the side back and forth. Alder was behind her. The woman smiled at her as she nodded. The Reel had taken over completely inside of everyone. She closed her eyes as the music came to an end. She was pushed away as her feet carried her. Trusting the reel as a pair of gentle arms wrapped around her waist. Opening her eyes as she was met with the dark brown ones she knew so well.
"Izadora." Alessia whispered. Seeing the Necro smile softly at her before grabbing her hand and leading her away.
It was starting to get dark already as she was led away into the wooded area. She felt her heart pounding rather fast. She couldn't believe what just happened. 'The Reel knows what is in your heart.' Echoed in her head.
"I hate to say, I have a class I must get to." Izadora spoke softly.
"That's alright! I understand." Alessia spoke quickly. She could feel the creature inside of her clawing at her sides. Wanting nothing more than to pin the teacher down.
"Thank you. For understanding." The Necro spoke as Alessia nodded. She felt defeated. "Here." Izadora then spoke as Alessia looked up. Her cheek was cupped as she was pulled in. Feeling the soft lips against her own. Alessia closed her eyes and pressed in for more. She could have sworn she was hearing fireworks and bells at the same time. Her heart was singing as it was trying to jump from her chest. Her breath was completely stolen by the Necro. She could smell Izadora's scent. It was of the forest and death. Her cheeks flushed as she pulled back.
"It's you." Izadora whispered. Staring into Alessia's eyes intently. "I must go. Please do not be upset." Izadora spoke. Alessia nodded as her hand was squeezed and then let go. She quickly left as the Necro left as well. She sighed. Feeling frustrated as her body was screaming at her. She could still feel the gentle lips against her own. She looked around and heard the moaning now. Several people were already at it. She groaned in frustration. Finding a private area and leaning against a tree. Her mind kept going back to the Necro teacher. Her touch was so gentle. Feeling her breath was already short. She decided to add to the energy. She needed to get rid of it. She undone her pants button and slipped her hand underneath her panties. Moaning softly as she closed her eyes. Leaning her head back. She was so wet. Her body was heated as she found the sweet lump and began to rub it gently and in circles. The pleasure was building rather quickly. She was imagining Izadora resting her hand against Alessia's throat. Her free hand touching her right between.
"Izadora…" Alessia moaned softly. Feeling her legs buck against her hand. Her hips rocking against her hand. She slipped a finger in and it had done her over. Hitting her climax as she moaned loudly. Feeling her knees give in as she fell to the ground. Catching her breath while looking around. Feeling embarrassed as she touched herself in public. She fixed herself up before taking her leave. Sighing while running her fingers through her hair after she dried them.
"Oh! Yeah!" Raelle's voice carried as Alessia looked over and saw Raelle and a guy fake moaning. She laughed at them.
"Join us!" Raelle grabbed her hands and pulled her.
"Harder! Oh yes! Right there!" Alessia shouted as she faked and moaned loudly. Laughing as she fell down onto the ground. She was being immature but the energy was to blame.
"I hope Tally gets what she wants." Raelle spoke.
"She was non stop talking about Gerit." Alessia spoke while laughing. "I'm Alessia." She spoke. Holding a hand out. He shook it. She didn't get his name over the moaning. She would have to ask about it later.
"Let me guess. A flower ring?" He asked. Raelle laughed and nodded.
"Stop!" Raelle spoke as Alessia shook her head. She was smiling. Touching her lips. She wanted another one. More of it.
"Don't tell her, but I bet he sent her a picture of his…" The guy spoke.
"Stop!" Alessia shouted as Raelle was holding her stomach from laughing.
"This is why we are into girls for the record." Raelle laughed as Alessia nodded her head. They went back to fake moaning loudly for the others to hear while laughing. He told them about a book called the Codices. Alessia wanted to get her hands on that book now. Raelle was now taking in a deep conversation. Asking about being in love with someone who had done something wrong. Alessia frowned at this. She knew exactly who she was talking about. For some reason, Scylla did seem off the last time they cleaned the labs together. She decided she was going to pay close attention to Scylla the next time she was near her. It was starting to become daylight now as Alessia had passed out next to Raelle. The guy on her other side. It seemed the energy had done its work for the night. There was so much chemistry that happened last night between people.
She jumped up and put her shoes on. Shaking Raelle.
"What?" She asked.
"Time to get up and find the other two!" Alessia spoke. She was smiling lightly. She looked up and saw Tally running up to them with a smile. Alessia felt the hug tackle as she grunted.
"Hi Tally!" Alessia spoke with a smile. Seeing Abigail waiting for them. Tally linked her arms with both of them as they made their way towards Abigail who was smiling. Carrying her shoes. They were making their way back to the suite. Alessia sighed lightly with a smile. Her mind kept going back to that kiss. She was dying for more.
"You like my hair like that?" Tally asked.
"I'm ignoring you." Abigail spoke. Alessia could see her mark shiny blue. She was happy for her friend. One day her mark would be shiny. At least she hoped so.
"Rae?" Tally asked.
"I don't know. I'm too blinded by that shiny mark on your neck!" Raelle spoke with a smile.
"Oh no! Is it visible?" Tally asked while laughing.
"Do you see what you've done? Don't feed the, I finally had sex monster." Abigail spoke as they all laughed.
"Alessia! What about you?" Tally asked. She hopped over and moved her sleeve to reveal her mark. Alessia quickly hid it.
"You didn't.." Tally began. Alessia shook her head.
"I thought you got paired with someone." Raelle asked.
"I did. A Necro. She had to go. Training." Alessia spoke.
"Oh yeah. Scylla said the same thing." Raelle spoke.
"How is your head?" Alessia asked. Looking at the blonde.
"I didn't even notice it was gone." Raelle spoke.
"Beltane." They all said in unison.
"Oh my cousin is having a wedding. You three are invited. We go as a unit. We wear our uniforms." Abigail spoke.
"Come on! We have training." Alessia spoke as they all groaned. They made it back to their suite to change quickly."We should say our goodbyes." Tally squealed. Alessia rolled her eyes and followed Abigail instead. They made it to the rough room as she was practicing. Her Scourge was now ignited. Alessia felt a tad jealous. Seeing Libba came in as well. Watching them go toe to toe. Seeing the rest of the recruits coming in.
"Private Solace. A word." Anacostia spoke. Alessia walked up to hear and nodded her head once. "This is for you. She wanted you to have the extra one." Anacostia spoke. Holding up a pure black scourge. Alessia gently took it. Gasping lightly as she felt the energy pulsate to her. "I see it's a match." Anacostia spoke.
"Who?" Alessia asked.
"She did not want me to name her." Anacostia spoke. "Join your sisters." Alessia nodded and quickly moved to stand with Tally.
"Know how to use that?" Abigail asked. Raelle destroyed one mannequin as Alessia did another. She felt the power coming from it. It felt perfect in her hands. She was looking at the handle part of the Scourge. There were rune markings on them. Necro markings.
