116 Fight, Laila vs. Loreley (1/2)
Olivia could hear faint voices from within the darkness. She tried to focus on the blurry image in front of her as she fluttered her eyelashes. ”Olivia?” Loreley whispered desperately while Laila applied a cool, damp cloth onto her forehead. Olivia slightly shuddered from the coldness if the cloth.
”How are you feeling?” Laila gently asked. ”What happened?” Olivia asked as she removed the damp cloth from her forehead and tried to sit up. Loreley and Laila both reached out and tried to give her a hand. As she slowly sat up, Olivia felt a soft fabric rub against her skin.She looked down and saw that she was wearing a white silk robe.
”You were taking too long in the bath so I had Laila check up on you. Loreley started while she glanced at Laila. ”You feel asleep in the bath tub and I tried to wake you up but... I couldn't so I freaked out.”
”Laila had a mini panic attack and since we are not as medically capable as you.”
”So Loreley at least was smart enough to use Go*gle to try and figure out what to do.”
”So Laila and I lifted you out of the bath tub and brought you over to Laila's bed. I dressed you in a spare bathrobe while Laila grabbed a bowl of cold water and cloth.It seems you may have over heated.”
”Since you are awake, it would be a good idea to rehydrate you.” Laila said as she reached behind her and grabbed a bottle of drinkable yogurt. Olivia nodded her head and took the drink from Laila's hand and unscrewed the cap.She brought the drink to her lips, took a big sip and felt a wonderful sensation wash over her.”Thank you I really needed that.” She said once she finished off the drink.
Both girls watched Olivia curiously. Olivia let her shoulders sag as she let out a long sigh. ”Sakura called me into her realm.” The girls looked at one another in anticipation and waited patiently for her to continue. Olivia shook her head. ”She told me her story, she regretting her curse on our bloodline but won't tell me anything useful... I don't know what to do anymore.I thought I would be a step closer to beating this but I'm more confused then I was before.”
Laila brushed a lock of hair away from Olivia's face. ”Baby steps, we need to take everything slowly.” Loreley nodded her head in agreement. ”We have other pressing matters.” Olivia started to scowl, she didn't want to think about Agni tonight.”You better go back to your room for now.You were out for an hour and honestly I think you need the rest.”Laila said as she looked at Olivia then to Loreley.
”Don't do anything rash.The thing with that monster, Laila and I will create an opening for you, so just be ready when the chance comes. Okay?” Loreley said as she rubbed subconsciously rubbed her wrist. Olivia nodded her head in agreement. She started to get off the bed but felt someone grab on to her wrist before she started to walk away.
”Sakura... did she... did she hint anything to you?” Laila asked as her eyes trembled with fear.Olivia was taken aback, she didn't know what to think.She sighed and gently patted the back of Laila's hand. ”No, I think she wanted to but couldn't.Might have been a restriction with the curse.Why?” Laila quickly released Olivia's wrist. ”No reason I just.... I was just curious.” She answered as she averted her gaze. ”Alright, we'll have a good night.” She said as she hugged her sisters before she collected her stuff and left the room.
On her walk back to her room, she couldn't help but feel unsettled with Laila's reaction.She was tempted to go back to the room and ask Laila some more questions but she really did some sleep.She needed to be on her toes tomorrow.Chances were that Agni did see her brother and if not she may have questions about her drunken state.
....
Olivia woke up early and got down to work right away. She was surprised that Sakura didn't call her again into her realm but at the same time thanked that she didn't. She felt well rested and started working on breakfast.Today she felt like they all needed something to get the blood flowing. She decided to opt out the coffee and tea and instead have freshly squeezed orange juice.
She also prepared a fruit salad with cantaloupe, honeydew melon, strawberries and pineapple.Omelettes with spinach, mushrooms, green peppers, onions, tomatoes and ham.Home fries and an extra helping of bacon.She heard the women shuffle by the kitchen without greetings her and knew that it was going to be one of those days.
She loaded up the food cart, took a deep breath in and patted her apron pocket before she started to move towards the dinning hall.The moment she walked in a plate went flying past her head and hit the wall beside her.”I have a massive headache and you decided to take your time with breakfast!” Agni shrieked as she started to rub the temples of her head.
Olivia quickly bowed. ”I'm sorry Master! Last night you came in rather intoxicated so I have prepared a nutritious breakfast to help with your .... cough... headache.” Agni dropped down into her chair and waved her hand, signalling her to move forward. Olivia placed herself next to the table and started to unload the food cart.”What the hell is this?!” Loreley said as she pointed at her plate of food.
”I don't know dear sister but it looks rather delicious.” Laila said rather blandly. ”You know what Laila you have been more vocal ever since you lost your virginity.” Loreley said coolly while Olivia flinched at her words. Agni seemed to be uncaring as she sipped her orange juice. ”Your right Loreley, deal with it.” She said after she put her glass down. The girls turned to look at Agni for further explanation. ”I am not in the mood or the energy to teach a doll to not speak.” Agni said with a sigh.
Loreley stood up and gave a mini bow to Agni. ”It will be my pleasure.” Loreley said with a strained voice. Laila started to shake while she sat in her chair, her eyes were glued to the plate of food in front of her. As Loreley started to walk around the table and make her way towards her, Laila grabbed the glass of orange juice and chugged it back.She slammed the cup down, raised her head and glared at both Loreley and Agni. ”Bring it on!” She shouted causing Loreley to freeze momentarily.
”What did you just say?” Agni asked with a venomous voice. She picked up her fork and knife and started to cut into her omelette. Laila stood up quickly causing her chair to topple backwards. ”I said bring it on b*tch!” She shouted as she lunged towards Loreley. The force caused Loreley to fall backwards, Loreley had caught Laila's wrists mid air and was using all her might to stop her murderous looking sisters from clawing her face.
