Fantasy Descendants of the Curse

[Valjean24601]

Gaston pressed his palm gently to the small of her back and lead her from the chapel. The halls were filled with afternoon light as it filtered in through every window.
"Your studies have gone incredibly well thus far, Phiona. I certainly believe you can do great things with your power and I know that you would like to. The most pressing question of the matter however is- would like to continue your education or would you like to convicate? Became a full member of the coven? I would be happy to do either for you."
Gaston smiled are Phiona with a great pride. She truly was one of his greatest students, so intelligent and strong and dedicate and beautif-
He stopped himself as they reached the end of a hall and he pushed open heaving balcony doors, the air was brisk and cool but the sun still warmed him as they stepped out onto the balcony.

Sabella set the ring on the ground beside her and then leaned back against the end of the bed, pulling the towel more tightly around her.
"You ought to go to bed, Donahue. You've drank too much. I'll take the floor I suppose."
Sabella dragged a quilt off the end of the bed and carefully replaced the towel with it, making sure not to have anything show. She wrapped the blanket up around her freckled shoulders and tucked the short strands of hair behind her ear, the lilt of her lips and rose colour of her slendered cheeks now visible in the glow of the firelight.

"Thank you for your confidence in me, but at the risk of almost sounding greedy I would wish to do both." She said knowingly, looking over the horizon and enjoying the view. She wanted to help the coven as soon as possible, but she also wanted to continue learning to be able to help more in the future. "Unless of course there is an odd clause that if I pick one the other will no longer be an option?" She said casting a curious glance at Gaston. "And in that case I will need more time to decide." She nodded to herself and put her hands on the balcony railing looking once more out at their surrounding to avoid looking too long at the man beside her, it was unladylike she reminded herself sighing softly.

"I'm alright with that..." Donahue muttered flopping back on the bed and almost going to sleep when he was suddenly reminded of his manners. "No, no I'm not, get up." He said sitting up and rolling off the bed and walking over to Sabella. "Come on sleeping beauty, I can't have you sleep on the floor, I'm not that big of an @ss." He said noticing she hadn't really moved and decided to pick her up instead. Alcohol didn't make him loopy like normal people, it made him blunt, there was no longer a filter between his brain and his mouth and with how annoyed she was at him he was sure she already figured that out. With his correct etiquette filter gone he scooped one hand under her shoulders and the other under her..."What is that?" He thought out loud feeling what was probably one of the softest parts on Sabella's body. "Oh right you're naked." He remembered with a sly chuckle.

 

[Valjean24601]

Gaston smiled and gently touched the back of her hand with his as she stood at the railing.
"You never stop learning, Phiona, especially a witch as bright and as brilliant as you."
Gaston drew his hand away and then leaned against the railing on his elbows.
"There is no really give or take if you choose to pursue higher things as a full coven member. You will learn constantly as a teacher, a spell keeper--- perhaps even a healer."
He looked down as he spoke his last words, embarrassed by the weight of them and the meaning they held.

 

[Valjean24601]

Sabella yelped as she was picked up and quite literally man handled by Donahue, he then had the audacity to grab her and let his hand simply linger there!
Sabella twisting her legs around his waist and then turned her body, quickly and with all her might. She shoved him hard on to the bed and grabbed his hand away from her rear, pinning his hand up above his head as she loomed over him, her eyes narrowed into steely slits.
"I'll be sleeping on the floor or helping myself into bed, understood Romeo?"

 

[EvelienLocalArtist]

Phiona flinched slightly as she felt his hand touch her's his warmth still lingering on her skin as she looked back at him. "You really think that?" She asked with a pleased grin, only for it to fade at the memory of Mary. "And what of Mary? She is now the best healer the coven has she just hasn't officially been titled yet. Everyone knows it has been that woman's obsession to get a higher position in the coven." She said distastfully then realized who she was talking to. "Sorry I meant no disrespect it is just... Being healer is not really my cup of tea." She said deciding not having a vengeful wife on her tail was the safest option. "There are more ways to help this coven than being a healer, for example a teacher like you." She smiled at him. "You Mr. Forticoven have helped me and other young coven members very much, I only hope one day I can be as respected and brilliant as you are." She said appreciatively her dark eyes meeting his as the breeze blew loose whisps of her hair.

 

[Valjean24601]

"You flatter me far too much Phiona," Gaston smiled and drew just slightly nearer to his student,"but I'm afraid if you were to be a teacher you would put me out of a job." He teased her with a small grin and allowed his gaze to linger on hers, he was being swallowed whole by the dark and enchanting beauty of her eyes and the loose tendrils of raven hair. He found himself tipping his chin forward and then he stopped himself. How desperately did he want a scandal? He would surely have one if he were to kiss Phiona now.
"However I am afraid that you may put me out of my marriage."
This he said softly and instead of kissing her lips, however tempting and irresistable it was, he kissed her knuckles gently.

 

[EvelienLocalArtist]

"Whoa-Ack!" He yelped in surprise as he was suddenly pinned to the bed the swift movement almost knocking the wind out of him. It all happened so quickly it took him a moment to realize what had just happened. "Yes ma'am, that was amazing." He muttered looking up at her then he noticed she was completely exposed and he could see and feel everything. "Can you do me a favor and don't move?" He requested awkwardly as he closed his eyes and imagined sad and gross things like dead kittens, a lonely dying old woman, and the hunters coming and killing his kind.

 

[Valjean24601]

Sabella's lip curled up into a snarl and she, completely ignoring his request, pressed her body harder against his.
"You're awfully demanding despite the position you're in, Donahue," her words were sharp and angry despite her voice being just above a whisper, "you also seem to have a death wish. If you ever grab me like that again without my wanting or without my knowledge, I'll castrate you. Your soft girls may put up with you and your ass grabbin' hands but I won't."

 

[EvelienLocalArtist]

Phiona watched carefully as he drew closer her heart racing as she wondered if he would really dare to cross that line, but when he didn't she let out a shallow breath of relief and what almost felt like disappointment. Steadying her heart beat she looked out over the balcony and saw a small figure in the distance dragging something quite large behind it. Wondering what on earth it was she looked to Gaston just as he spoke and was stunned forgetting the figure in the distance. "What... What ever do you mean?" She stammered the feeling of his lips on her skin making her cheeks turn bright red and messing up her train of thought.

 

[EvelienLocalArtist]

Donahue bit his lip as she pressed against him."It was an accident, I was trying to be nice." He muttered looking back up at her, "and besides if you didn't like it you would have gotten off me already."

 

[Valjean24601]

Gaston slowly brought her hand down from his lips. His heart leapt at the rosy colouring of her cheeks and her bashfulness. She made him feel younger, better than he was, something Mary had not made him feel for a very long time.
"Mary and I- you could hardly call us married anymore. I'm afraid that the event of my mother's death has only compromised her desires even further. She hungers for power and is greedy. I begin to wonder if that is what our marriage was built upon since the very beginning."
Gaston looked back at the slightly ajar balcony door. Out here Phiona listened and cared, she was so incredibly beautiful so unnapologetically talented and herself as was himself in the presence of sweet, sweet Phiona.
In there, behind those doors, lay secrecy and corruption within a once holy place of power and knowledge. In there, his wife no longer loved him only what he could do for her, what his bloodline could do for her.
"Our marriage has failed, Phiona. And I know that it so incredibly blunt to say so but I-" Gaston looked down at their two hands together,"I want not for power as she does. I want for someone. Someone else."

 

[Valjean24601]

Sabella's cheeks burned brightly red. She didn't know what she could possibly say at this point. He was right. She'd never used her body this way before, only to run, to hunt, to work but this was different. It was impulsive and she felt powerful, she felt good.
"If you didn't like it," she stumbled over her words clumsily," y-you could've easily gotten me off of you at this point."
She swallowed, her grip on his hand loosening.

 

[EvelienLocalArtist]

Phiona starred at him for a moment processing what he was saying. "I'm sure that's not true, I'm sure if you just talk to her..." She tried to comfort him but she knew that kind of talk never helped anyone. "I'm sorry I never realized it was like that between you two." She said looking down at their hands her cheeks still rosy as she thought through the gravity of his words. "You are going through a hard time in your life, I understand, but perhaps if you express your feelings of what is going on and how she is acting to Mary, things will perhaps change?" She said though she couldn't promise if those changes were for the best or for the worst. "Other than that I don't know how to help you." She said apologetically as she pulled her hand from his and looked down at her feet.

 

[EvelienLocalArtist]

At that Donahue smirked looking up at her. "Who said I didn't like it?" He asked with a coy grin as he slowly moved his hand out of her grasp reaching up and caressing her bright red cheek. Meanwhile his other hand carefully moving up and touching the side of her leg, his thumb ever so carefully gracing her skin.

 

[Valjean24601]

"Phiona, please. Don't play stupid about this. You know very well what I mean to say to you but can't, what I'm saying about my marriage. Nothing can fix that no matter how much I talk to Mary."
Gaston reached for her hand again, hoping desperately he hadn't upset her but it was clear enough to him that he had.
Sighing and stepping away from the balcony railing he walked quietly across the marbled floor, his hands clasped behind his back as he reached the door.
"You are an excellent student, Phiona and I do not wish to put you in any situation in which you feel uncomfortable. I'll not be speaking of this meeting again if that is what you so choose."

 

[Valjean24601]

"You're a dog, Donahue."
Her voice remained quiet and yet almost all the dagger like consanants and poison filled words were gone, a small bit of reluctance leaked through her teeth as her body willed itself forward, her mouth mere inches from his own.
She felt soft in his hands, mouldable like clay, she a vase and he the potter as his hands strayed to where she had torn them away from before. She was not a soft girl like the ones he so liked and she teased him about. She was all muscle and bone and yet when he touched her she felt as though her skin weren't so tough and that she was more flesh than bone.
"All our lies will be truth if we do this, there's no going back."

(I might be interested??? Wheres the CS?))

 

[EvelienLocalArtist]

"I don't mind you speaking of this conversation what I mind is...." Phiona's voice trailed off. "Mr. Forticoven I want you to know that I. . . I admire you." She said quitely her cheeks glowing, as she looked to Gaston's back. That was the only way she could think of saying what she wanted to without sounding unlady like. "But I fear right now is not the best time. Perhaps when-" she was interupted by a thunderous burst of magic then two smaller ones. The universal S.O.S for magic folks, and was being emitted from the figure in the distance. "Mother of Athena..." Phiona muttered seeing it was another witch, who was now close enough to see the woman who looked like a younger version of Mary only dressed in black dragging what looked like the mangled body of a man.

 

[EvelienLocalArtist]

Donahue grinned his hand moving to the base of her neck and pulling her closer till his lips met her's and he kissed her a sweet gentle kiss that he let linger for a minute before pulling away. Carefully holding onto her he picked her up and laid her on the bed so that he was ontop the blanket still between them. "Do what?" He asked kissing her once more. He knew exactly what she meant and he relished in the fact that she was so ready. "My dear sweet Sabella we haven't even been on the trip together for a whole day and you are already willing to be my mate. I was so sure this would have taken months, so I'm afraid I can't commit, quite yet." He said coolly as he booped the tip of her nose and crawled off her. "Good night." He muttered laying down where she had been laying earlier.

 

[Valjean24601]

Gaston turned to Phiona once more and took the few short steps back to her, his heart leaping at the prospect that she too saw him other than her teacher, as a respectable man, one she could admire, one she could lov-
Then sparks erupted in an unexpected explosion. The air was alive with a frenzy of magic and Gaston pressed his palm to Phiona's back urging her inside.

The balcony doors closed with a thud behind the pair and Gaston removed himself from Phiona's company, hurrying down the hall, through rooms and flights of stairs and finally into the foyer. Magic crackled at his fingertips as the silver coated, oaken doors blew open and he strode from the mansion towards the young woman and the body of what appeared to be a man.

 

[Valjean24601]

Sabella had felt as though all the breath had been sucked from her lungs and his overwhelming warmth and mastery over her body had somehow filled them instead. She felt as though she was more than wolf now, more than a warrior, a hunter and then he just as masterfully disrupted these feelings and left her breathless and annoyed all the same.
"You are a dog Donahue!"
She hissed this time and snarled, wrapping the quilt tightly around her and curling up on the itchy straw mattress.
It had been her first kiss. It had not been so innocent as others seemed to be. She had been stark naked and it had been with her brother's arch nemesis, her former friends former mate. A sort of knot grew in her stomach and caused her to only ball her body up more tightly.
What was she doing?

 

[EvelienLocalArtist]

Phiona followed Gaston down the stairs joining the others as the crowds watched Malcolm, Mary, Gaston and two other witches carrying a wooden board that would be used as a stretcher run towards the signal.

Lottie had collapsed from exhaustion ontop of Fredric, he was so close to death she could feel him getting colder. She had been carrying him half way across the country without rest just to try and save him now that she was so close she couldn't do it anymore her own body was to weak and she used the last of her energy to send up the signal now she laid there crying hoping help came faster than death.

"Fredric?!" Mary exclaimed as she reached the two and then looked at the young woman, she was someone she hadn't seen in over ten years. "Lottie?!" She bent down next to her siblings tears coming to her eyes as she saw how bad of condition they were. Checking for a pulse she could feel Lottie's but Fedric's was barely even there. She quickly pulled out a vile of clear pink liquid and pouring it onto Fedric's wounds but there wasn't enough to finish let alone try to help Lottie. "We need to get them back to the coven imediately."

 

[EvelienLocalArtist]

"So they tell me." He chuckled and curled up in front of the fire and fell a sleep.
