A Troublesome Nymph Ch. 06

CHAPTER 6 - SACRIFICE

Serenity woke facing the wall. It took her a few seconds to gain her senses, before last night came flooding back to her and she panicked, quickly turning in bed. She felt instant relief as she saw Espin sleeping silently next to her.

She smiled. Her body ached from last night's exertions. It ached in places it had never ached before and her smile widened. She studied Espin as she lay facing her on her side. She was so pretty it felt almost unreal. She reached out and brushed her long blonde hair behind her cute pointy ear.

The covers were just over her hips and Serenity couldn't help but look over her slender body. Her slender neck, small pert breasts, and thin waist. She followed the contours of her hips under the light sheets.

"Enjoying the view Red?" Espin said, in a soft voice. Serenity's eyes flicked up to meet hers. Espin smiled.

"It's not bad," Serenity replied. Her face reddening a little.

"If we're going again you have to go easier on me," Espin said. "I don't want bits dropping off." She ached too, but a good ache. One of satisfaction.

"We definitely don't want that," Serenity said, leaning in for a kiss. Espin responded by leaning in too. They shuffled together, pressing into each other. Espin draping her leg over Serenity and pushing her pelvis into her. Her bare leg pressed between her legs. Serenity pulled her head back.

"We should probably get up," Serenity said. "They'll be wanting to talk to you."

"Not yet," Espin said. "You've got to show some more of those tricks you do with your tongue." Espin felt her heart skip at Serenity's smile.

"If I must," Serenity said. They kissed hard and passionately. Serenity ran her hand over Espin's body to her firm ass cheeks and squeezed. Her hand slid between her ass cheeks and then between her legs. She pushed a finger into her. "So wet already."

"You fucking bet I am Red," Espin said. Pushing her hips back, forcing Serenity's finger in deeper. Espin then rolled over on top of Serenity, her body pressing between her legs, forcing them open as she pressed her bony pelvis into her. Serenity moaned as Espin kissed her from above.

They kissed for a while. Espin gently rocking herself into Serenity, making her moan. Espin moved, sitting up and spreading her own legs and arranging their limbs so she could press her own wanting pussy against Serenity's.

She pushed herself into Serenity, grinding her pelvis into her, their engorged pussy lips pressing together. They both moaned together as their juices mixed.

Espin started rolling her hips whilst applying pressure. The pleasure for both of them was indescribable. They stared into each other eyes, occasionally one would shut theirs as the pleasure overtook them.

Both wanted the other to cum first, the act of giving the other pleasure was as important as their own. Serenity won, Espin reaching orgasm first. Her groans got louder and louder, and her body went tight as she started to shake. She still tried to keep grinding as she could hear Serenity was close too.

She didn't have to though. The sight of Espin cumming was enough for Serenity. Her beautiful face contorting in pleasure, her blonde hair flinging back as her body arched, pert breasts thrusts forward. Her body stretching and shaking, her perfect slender body. Serenity screamed out too, her body matching the shakes consuming Espin.

Their cum combined around their wet inner thighs as they twitched together, before both falling onto their backs as they rode their separate orgasms. They lay there for a while, their breathing heavy and ragged. Sweat and other liquids glistening on their bodies.

"Fuck," Espin gasped.

"Indeed," Serenity agreed.

Espin crawled up the bed and lied down next to Serenity. She took her hand.

They lay next to each other for a while, their fingers intertwined. They basked in the afterglow of their sex, savouring the moment. Both of them could have happily stayed like that forever, and if either of them had known the tragic future that awaited, they would have never moved.

It was cut short by a knock on the door.

"Espin. Serenity. There's someone here to see you both," Folell said from outside the bedroom door.

"Okay," called Serenity back. "Give us a minute." She jumped up, looking for her dress. She saw that Espin didn't move, she just stared at her as she moved around the room.

"Let's just stay here. You can bring that fine ass back to bed," Espin said. "I never did get to experience that tongue of yours again." She saw Serenity find her dress and start pulling it on over her head. Shame, she thought.

"You will later, I promise," Serenity said, a big smile on her face. "We have to get up and talk at some point." She found Espin's top and skirt and threw them at her. "You need to get that fine ass moving."

Espin sighed heavily, her face lost its spark as anxiety took over. "I'm worried I might lose control again," she said. "I'm not sure I can keep my anger in check. It's there now, just below the surface, I can feel it. In this room with you I can control it. You help me. But out there, when I see them, I'm not sure what'll happen."

"I'll be with you," Serenity said.

Espin thought for a second. "Promise," she said.

"I promise," Serenity said. She jumped on the bed, kneeling. She bent over and kissed her. "Now get up."

"Okay boss," Espin said. Rolling over and standing up. She put her short green skirt on and wrestled her green tube top over her head, covering her breasts, to Serenity's disappointment. Espin gave her wings a little flutter and then pulled on her thigh high brown boots.

They walked out of the bedroom and headed down the hall to the kitchen. Folell was sitting at the table, and leaning against the kitchen top was the lean and muscular Deilla. Head of the Elder Guards. She bowed her head slightly to Serenity and regarded Espin suspiciously.

"Morning Muscles!" Espin said. "If we had known it was you we would invited you to join us in the bedroom." She winked at her. Deilla's face tightened, she went slightly red. Serenity rolled her eyes.

"Espin!" Folell said. "Deilla had come with some troubling news you need to listen to."

"Don't make me regret coming here," Deilla added to the scolding.

"One of those days is it," Espin said sulkily. "Go on Muscles." Espin again admired the athletic body she had seen yesterday. Deilla had the look of a warrior. Wearing a brown leather skirt, high on her muscular thighs, and a shoulder less leather top. An impressive cleavage on view. Her top stopped just short of the waistband of her skirt. An inch of toned abs on view.

I bet she's got an impressive six pack, Espin thought. And Mother Earth those thighs could crack walnuts. Folell's voice broke her daydreaming.

"Deilla's come at great personal risk," the old nymph said.

"I shouldn't be here," Deilla said. "And I definitely shouldn't be telling you what I'm about to." This pricked Espin's pointy ears up. "Please don't make me regret it Espin."

"I'll try not to," Espin said. "But I'm well known for my disappointment skills."

"I guess that will have to do," Deilla said. She took a deep breath. She wasn't used to an audience like this. Her strength on the outside didn't always manifest itself inside. "I stayed on for a bit after everyone had left last night, tidying up. And as I left I heard some voices. I wouldn't normally pry, but the tone of the conversation piqued my interest. They were talking low and conspiratorial, so I moved closer to listen."

"It was Beryn and Sylver," Deilla continued. Espin and Folell shared a look. Beryn had always looked down on Espin. The two older nymphs were on the council with Folell. "They were discussing our visit a couple of weeks ago from a Hunter and her Watcher. They were looking for you." She was looking at Espin.

Espin looked at Serenity alarmed. "Did you know about this?" Espin asked. Serenity's face took on a look of hurt and Espin instantly regretted it. "Sorry. I just......"

"It's okay," Serenity said. She had learnt Espin's reactions weren't necessarily thought through. "Of course I didn't know." She turned to look at Deilla. "Who were they and what did they want?"

"I didn't know either," Folell got in quickly. "I wonder why I wasn't told."

"They were met outside of the village," Deilla continued. "One of my guards spotted them and went to Beryn, then she came to get me. By the time I had arrived introductions had been made so I didn't catch their names."

"What did they look like?" Folell asked. She had met quite a few Hunters in her time. They checked on the nymphs now again to make sure they hadn't run into any trouble.

"Two young women," Deilla said. "Not your usual Hunter and Watcher type. The Hunter was a skinny girl with long wavy brown hair, and her watcher, a pretty Indian girl with long dark hair. They looked new to the role, but I wouldn't underestimate them. I could feel the magic emanating from the Hunter, she is powerful."

"What did they want with me?" Espin asked, but she already knew. Her exploits had drawn her attention to them in the past, and she had got a few warnings. She was guessing now they had eventually had enough. They didn't usually fuck about when it came to disposing of demons or bad magical creatures. They couldn't risk the exposure.

"They didn't want to say," Deilla said. "Just said to contact them if they ever knew where you were. That's why I'm here, they've told them you're here."

"Oh no," Serenity gasped. Everyone knew the reputation of Hunters. "We have to get you out of here."

"It's okay. Don't panic," Espin said. Even though she felt like panicking herself. "It'll take ages. By the time they sent a messenger off, and by the time they get a message to the Hunters, and then they get here, I'll have a day or so."

"No you won't," Deilla said. "They sent a WhatsApp message."

"A what?" Espin asked. She thought she could guess. She had learnt a little about humans and how they communicated. Now the panic set in.

"A phone message," Deilla said, confirming Espin's fears. "They gave us a mobile phone about a year ago. It's great. Very big and difficult to press the buttons, but you should see it......" Her voice grew with excitement.

"Okay, okay!" Espin interrupted. "Sounds fucking great. I'm pleased you all have a lovely new toy, but that means I won't have much time. Why are you telling me this Muscles?"

Deilla dropped her eyes embarrassed and then managed to raise them again, staring deep into Espin's eyes.

"When I was little," she said. "My Guardian used to tell me all the legends about Sun Nymphs. I can remember them all and how they saved us in different ways. I loved them and would pretend to be a Sun Nymph. I wanted so much to be one." She flushed pink. "And now I stand before a Sun nymph." She bowed her head. "I believe you are one Espin. I'm not going to lie, I think you're rude and vulgar, but I see that's how you cope with how you've been treated over the years. Deep down I don't think that's you. You know that, and Serenity sees it too."

"I hope you're right," Espin said quietly, thinking about the prophecy. She spoke louder. "Thank you for the warning Muscles. I'm not sure you're wise putting such faith in me."

"You underestimate yourself dear child," Folell said. "You should stay and talk to the Hunters, they've never come after a nymph before. It might be to do with the prophecy."

"And if it isn't she's dead," Serenity burst out. She regained her composure. "Sorry Folell. But it's too much of a risk. You have to go Espin, and I'll stay behind for a few days, find out what they want."

"It's a good plan," Deilla said. "Serenity can see what they....." Her sentence was cut short by a knock on the door. Deilla's face turned to one of panic. "I'm not supposed to be here," she whispered.

"Quick in the bedroom," Espin said quietly. She grabbed Deilla's arm and set her off in the right direction. "We'll get rid of them. You make yourself comfortable in there and me and Red will come and join you in a bit."

"Do you ever stop joking?" Deilla said, turning and glaring at her.

"Who said I'm joking," Espin said, laughing. "Go hide. Quick."

"You should hide too," Serenity said. She was scared for her new love.

"No point Red," Espin replied. "Let's get this over with." Espin strolled over and flung the door open to find a member of the Nymph guard. A pretty Naiad with short blonde hair. "Morning!" She smiled brightly. She was tired of being angry, it was time for her mischievous side to make an appearance.

The guard was taken aback. "Um. Yes. Morning," she stumbled, then composed herself quickly. "The Queen requests your presence." She had been dreading this assignment, having been there last night when the sun nymph had nearly exploded. She seemed in a good mood this morning though.

"What the Queen wants we must provide," Espin said, mock excitement in her voice. "Give me a second please." She closed the door in the guards face and turned. She walked over to Folell and bent down and hugged her. "I have to leave after I've spoken to the Queen. I'll be back soon I promise."

"Take care my dear," Folell said. "Make sure you keep that promise."

"I will," Espin said. Holding back tears. "Thank you." She turned to Serenity. "Can you come with me?"

"Of course, but you need to go Espin," Serenity said. "It's too risky hanging around and talking to the Queen." She was worried the Hunters wouldn't be far off. Espin had opened the front door and was holding it open for her.

"I know Red," Espin replied. "But I need to know what she has to say. Plus I get to spend five more minutes with your fine ass." Espin squeezed Serenity's ass cheek as she passed her through the door.

Serenity tutted, but a wide smile spread across her face.

"Let's go soldier," Espin said to the guard outside. They walked in silence. Espin took Serenity's hand and squeezed it, giving her a confident smile. Inside she wasn't so confident, she knew she was wasting precious time seeing the Queen. She should go now before it was too late, but the chance to see the Queen squirm, to hear her apologise was too tempting for Espin. It was petty and stupid, she knew, but still couldn't resist.

Espin and Serenity entered the Queen's hut, the guard stopped outside. The Queen was sat on her ornate wooden throne on a small raised stage.

"Welcome Espin," She said. "Hello Serenity."

Espin nodded her head slightly, the only attempt at a bow she could muster. Serenity bent enthusiastically, an automatic reflex.

"Thank you for coming to speak to me," the Queen said. "I wasn't sure you would come."

"I was surprised myself," Espin replied. "Aren't you worried I might go supernova." Espin looked around at the empty room, no guards in sight. She was sure they were only a shout away.

"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried," The Queen said. "But if I'm to try and heal the wounds we've inflicted on you I need to build your trust."

Espin snorted, holding back laughter. "That's some building you've got to do," she said. "Shame I won't be sticking around to see how that works out."

"I know it will be hard Espin," the Queen replied. "But I will try and make amends. I'm deeply sorry for banishing you, I had to believe my daughter. You do see that don't you?"

"Of course," Espin said. "It's not just about that though is it. The banishing was just the icing on the shitty cake. I tried to fit in throughout my childhood, but was treated like an outcast. I can't recall you speaking up for me, even when I was friends with Aiader you looked down on me. " The Queen looked down, ashamed.

"I have no words that can take how I treated you back then," The Queen said. "I truly am sorry. I will try though even if it is fruitless. We also have to support you in finding out more about this prophecy. If it's true, you have an important role to play in the future of this planet."

"Or the lack of future," Espin joked, in bad taste.

"Don't say that," Serenity said. "I know you wouldn't do anything like that."

"I too don't believe you would purposefully allow this earth to be harmed," Queen Rinoa said. "You're here for a reason Espin, and that must be for good. Also, Folell and Serenity are very protective of you, and I trust in their judgement."

Serenity blushed brightly next to Espin, because of the Queen's compliment.

"I bet that's made you moist," Espin whispered to her. Serenity blushed deeper.

"But what of those that don't see it that way," Serenity asked, pulling it together quickly. "There'll be some that will come for Espin that won't want to take the chance. They'll see it as easier to take her out of the equation."

"Wow Red," Espin said, looking at her. "Aren't you the positive Ray of sunshine."

"Sorry," Serenity said. "I need to know if we'll stand by her." Espin and Serenity watched the Queen closely.

"Of course we'll stand by her," she said. "She's one of us. I promise you Espin that I won't allow any harm to come to you."

"Thank you. I guess," Eslin said. "But don't be offended if I'm not fully convinced yet."

"I understand," the Queen replied. "Anything you need please don't be afraid to ask. I also assure you my daughter will not go unpunished."

Espin thought for a minute. As much as she wanted to see the lying cunt pay for what she did to her she also found, to her surprise, she had some sympathy.

"Don't be too hard on her," Espin said. "We were young and she panicked. I'll never forgive her, but if she loved me as much as I loved her, she paid her price."

The Queen was taken aback by Espin's words. Serenity fell in love with her a little bit more.

"There's a lot more to you than you let on Sun Nymph," the Queen said. "We truly have made an unforgivable mistake with how we've treated you. Hopefully we talk again soon." Espin bowed and she left with Serenity.

"Those were very mature words," Serenity said when they were outside. "I'm very proud of you."

"I wouldn't be too impressed Red," Espin said. "I'm going to make that little bitches life hell. She's going to be wishing mummy dear was the one handing out the punishment."

Serenity laughed, then her face turned sad. "You need to go," she said. "As soon as I know what the Hunter wants I'll come and meet you."

"Okay," Espin said. She moved in and hugged Serenity hard. "Don't be too long."

"I won't," Serenity said. She wanted to tell Espin that she loved her, but was scared it was too soon. The missed chance flittered by, never to be offered again. "I'll see you soon."

"You bet Red," Espin replied. She kissed Serenity gently on the lips and flew off quickly before the urge to drag her back to their bed overtook her.

Espin flew hard and fast. Putting as much distance between her and the village as quickly as possible. She flew to where she first met Serenity, where she had promised her she would be. She found an abandoned bird nest and settled into it. She was tired. Last night's exertions and the stress of the last few days had tired her out. She settled down to sleep. It came quickly.

Somewhere in the woods he stirred, his eyes flicking open. She had arrived, he thought. He could feel her. He had been here before as he tracked her, and he had sensed then that she would come back to this spot. It was just a matter of waiting, and that was something he was good at. So close now. The master would be happy.

He slowly sneaked his way through the trees, making sure he didn't stand on any dry twigs. He wanted to get close before he made his move. He was confident in his ability, his magic was ancient and powerful. She would stand no chance.

He could feel her emotions even as she slept. Strong and delicious. Her anger and anxieties oozing out of her and into him. Feeding him already and he hadn't even begun yet. He smiled.
