Shadows of Destiny

I could feel Linda and Avery’s excitement while we walked.

“I can’t believe you went ruthless on Lilly,” Linda said excitedly.

“That bitch had it coming from the moment we met her in the general banquet hall for breakfast.

She was so full of herself, trying to control all the women with her lies and nonsense.

Honestly, she had it coming, and I must say, you went a bit too easy on her, Tamia,” Avery said, and I giggled.

“What is all that about Stephanie? They are trying to pin a lot of shit on the woman.

These people would stop at nothing.

Jenny is a member of the organisation and disqualifies anything she has to say.

As far as we are concerned, it might have been her last card should all fail,” Linda said, and I stopped and hugged Linda.

She had just made a complex issue easy.

We did not have to do anything.

The fact that Jenny was part of them already disqualified whatever she tried to accuse Stephanie of.

I felt terrible that my friends did not know about what Stephanie did.

Sylvester and I had kept it between us so we could keep it secret.

I was glad that Linda’s ignorance about the issue had allowed her to find a solution.

“What’s with you, Tamia?” Linda said, wiping the cheek I kissed.

“You solved a major issue because I know they would want to use it,” I said, and Avery laughed.

“Sylvester will be king by then.

Good luck with antagonising the king,” Avery said, and we chuckled.

“We got to the door of the room they kept, Olga and Annika, and I was about to step in when Avery stopped me.

“I know Annika is personal, but you can’t have all the fun.

We are lunas, too; we will be ladies when you are queen.

We deserve to have some fun with these women, Tamia.

Come on,” Avery pleaded, and I giggled.

“Trust me; we increased the silver concentration in the water for these two.

I want to watch them suffer.

The thought that they threatened that poor boy makes me want to give them pain,” Linda said, and I opened the door and walked in.

Annika and Olga were chained against the wall, naked.

“Who requested that they be kept like this?” I asked, wondering what was happening.

“I did.’ I wanted to treat every inch of their bodies,” Avery said, and I realised it was just the three of us.

“There was a silver whip on the table, and I doubted we would need to exert the energy when there were buckets of Avery’s unique mix.

We picked up the rubber gloves and wore them to protect our hands.

While we picked up the bowls, we would take the water and splash it on their bodies.
