Chapter 18b

They had to clean up again before heading out into the main room. Shelly’s knees still felt wobbly, but Sonia’s arm around her waist—hell, her mere presence—comforted her and granted enough support to stay standing.
She was surprised to find her brother snoring on one of the couches, alone.
“How does he walk around with that thing?” Sonia asked her.
It took Shelly’s slightly fogged mind a moment to realize that Sheldon’s manhood was hanging out. Well, hanging was the wrong word. The thick twirling meat was rigid and pointing at an angle towards his snoring head. She’d seen him naked many times before, but somehow this time seemed different. She could see where he was still slick with either saliva or cum.
She wondered what something like that would feel like, driving up into her, slamming against her uterus. Those curves would hit all the right places. The true test would be to get that bulbous head past her labia. How did his girlfriends do it? Probably lots of lube or saliva could—
She broke off that thought and shook her head. What was wrong with her? That was her brother lying there. She wasn’t even horny! Not after the last little bit with Sonia.
Then why did it feel like her panties were damp again?
She crossed the room and grabbed a throw pillow. Lifting it high, she brought it down hard on his abdomen. She’d aimed for his crotch, but then changed direction at the last minute.
“Oof!” he grunted and folded in half.
“Wake up and get dressed!” She ordered him, angrier than she knew she should be, but not caring. What was he even doing out here alone?
“No more…” he moaned, still not opening his eyes. “I can’t take any more. Just let me lay here, please! Haven’t you gotten enough out of me?”
The plaintive quality in his tone cooled her anger as concern filled her.
“What did they do to you?” She asked as she dropped down next to him.
“We took full advantage of the cock that couldn’t quit,” Jen’s voice said from the doorway. Mandy and Shlee giggled behind her. “And from where your hand is placed, it looks like you’d like a crack at it too!”
Shelly looked at the woman confused for a moment, before looking at her hands. One was on her brother’s forehead, brushing back his hair. The other was on the pillow, covering his crotch. She yanked them both back as though burned, and glared at the women.
“Never met a cock like that one before,” Jen cackled. “It took a licking, and kept on ticking, and ticking, and ticking! He was like the Energizer Bunny with its batteries in backwards. He just kept cumming, and cumming, and cumming! Never grew soft.”
“Quit teasing them, Jen,” Lyden said as he entered the room.
Shlee and Mandy stepped around Jen and came to their boyfriend’s side, helping him into his pants, and waking him gentler than Shelly had.
“He enjoyed every minute of it,” Jen grinned back. “Just ask him. I’m sure he’ll be more than honest with Mandy here.”
“I did,” Sheldon confessed in a groggy tone. “But couldn’t you have let me rest for the last three?”
“It was four times, dear,” Mandy corrected him as her cheeks reddened. “You completely slept through the last one.”
“By the Pillars!” Sheldon groaned and lay back on the couch. “I never thought having a perma-hardon would be such a curse! Isn’t that considered rape in some countries?”
“Would you have told us no if you were awake?” Shlee asked and gave his face a playful lick.
“Dammit, no I wouldn’t have,” Sheldon cursed.
“Language, Eldon,” Lyden admonished.
“Did you work things out with Angela?” Shelly asked to get some of the attention away from her brother. She didn’t know whether to feel relieved that he was okay, or disgusted at how easily he was twisted around the women’s fingers. Either way, there were more pressing things to think about, or rather one long hard object she adamantly didn’t want to think about.
By the look in her father’s eyes, she knew he was choosing his words carefully. “In a manner of thinking. Your mom is talking with her now, but I wanted to have a talk with you and your brother alone, if I may?”
“Oh, I know that tone,” Jen said, for once sounding sober. “Come on, ladies. I think Blue is sunning herself on the east side of the volcano, and if you promise to scratch her just right, she’ll let you go for a ride on her back.”
“Will you be okay?” Sonia asked Shelly, making her jump. With her brother right there, she’d momentarily forgotten about the android. She felt ashamed for it, but she knew there was nothing she could do about it now.
“Yeah, go with them,” she said, giving the woman a peck on the lips. Sonia’s cheeks darkened as she glanced at everyone else in the room. Had Shelly ever really thought the woman didn’t have emotions? There was now no doubt in her mind that Sonia was as alive as she was. She lowered her voice as she continued to speak. “Keep an eye on my brother. It’s been a while since I was last here, and I forgot how being in this place could make a person hornier than usual since a succubus took over as the Pillar of Fire. The fact that Jen is now a succubus as well…”
“No harm will come to your brother, I promise,” Sonia swore in a solemn tone.
“I can hear you, you know,” Shlee piped up.
“I know,” Shelly tried to give her a wolfish grin. She didn’t think she pulled it off as well as Shlee could, but the woman nodded in response before they stepped out.
The room fell silent as Shelly became the only woman left.
As soon as the door closed, she spun on her father. “I love you, Dad, but if you don’t start talking, I’m going to lose it.”
“You already know that Jessica isn’t your sister,” he said with a grimace.
Despite already knowing that, hearing her father say as much still lifted a burden from her shoulders. It shouldn’t matter, her logical mind told her, but that didn’t change her heart.
Then she saw the look in his eyes. He was in pain. Until this moment she hadn’t truly considered how that news would affect her father. On the one hand, one of his loves hadn’t hidden his own child from him, but she had carried another man’s child. From the sounds of it, it was one of his enemies, Marchosias or King Aeacus. She’d never met the King, but he ruled over the Myrmidons, and had sworn to kill Lyden for his role in defeating the previous Pillar of Fire.
Marchosias she knew, and also knew how deadly he could be.
That either one had lain with Angela, and that she’d kept it secret all these years must be tearing him up inside.
“Who do we have to hit to make this right?” Sheldon asked, striking his left hand with his right fist. He was thinking more with his brawn, than his brain. “I want our family to be happy again.”
“There’s still too much we don’t know,” Lyden admitted. “Too much is happening, too fast. I hate to ask it of you, but I want you to stay out of this situation with Jessica. That’s why I had the others leave.”
Shelly couldn’t have been more shocked if he’d punched her in the gut. In fact, he might as well have with that request.
Sheldon found his words as Shelly still tried to gather her wits. “You can’t be serious! Dad! No way! Jessica might not be our sister, but what she did affects us also. Hell, it probably affects us more because of the way she twisted everything.”
“That’s part of why I want you to stay out of it,” Lyden repeated. There was anger in his voice as tears rolled down his cheeks. “Both of you are too close to this. I’ve almost lost you both. I… I don’t think I could live if I lost either of you. Not now.”
“It’s not like we haven’t been in danger before, Dad,” Shelly said, still trying to grasp what he was asking of them. Did he really expect them to sit back and do nothing after all they’d already been through? Jessica might not be their sister, but she’d affected them both. They were going to… what? Get revenge? Make her pay? That didn’t feel right, either, but she had to do something.
“I know, dear, but…” Lyden sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. “A few days ago, your brother was lying in a hospital bed, barely alive. If not for Gloria, he never would have made it. Even with her help, he was still left... broken. It took Areth’s sacrifice to return him to normal… or healthier.”
“And now I’m all but indestructible, Dad,” Sheldon protested. “Why pull me away?”
Lyden looked to Shelly, ignoring his son’s protest. “And we barely managed to get you out alive after the Paladonic Knights captured you and set that trap, and yet we still lost… Becky.” He choked on her name as fresh tears moistened his eyes. “I can’t lose anyone else. You’re both too close to this. I need you to pull back for a bit.”
“And do what?” Sheldon demanded. “Sit on our asses while someone else does what’s necessary? Don’t glare at me for my language, Dad. I’m an adult. I appreciate how you raised me, but I’ll speak as I please. I won’t sit back and let someone else do what needs to be done when I can do it.”
“Don’t you need to face your girlfriend’s fiancée?” Lyden pressed.
“I-well, that’s a different issue,” Sheldon muttered. “Shlee will understand that figuring out what Jessica is up to is more important.”
“More important than talking with her fiancée that she also loves?” Shelly asked, despite not liking taking her father’s side in this. Sometimes her brother could be dense to how a woman’s emotions worked. “Why would she think it’s more important than that?”
“Because Jessica is dangerous, and who knows what she could be doing right now, out there on her own,” Sheldon replied, swinging his arm out to indicate the rest of the world. “Yes, working things out with Shlee’s fiancée is important in our relationship, but dealing with Jessica is a bigger issue. Shlee’s fiancée isn’t likely to hurt a lot of people.”
Shelly shook her head, still thinking her brother was dense. She didn’t know if she was willing to drop the conversation because she truly believed Jessica was dangerous, or if it was because her heart wanted her to go after her ex-lover.
“There’s something else, isn’t there?” Shelly asked as she watched her father’s face. “You know how strong we are together. Heck, you made sure we would be strong and properly trained as we grew up. I understand you not wanting to lose anyone else… I do. But there is something you’re not telling us.”
Lyden regarded her for a moment as she noticed something shocking about his eyes. The tears had hidden it before, but now that she looked deeper, she could see it. She couldn’t cover her gasp before it bubbled from her chest. As she looked closer, she saw the telltale edges of illusion around him.
“Your mother had that same look,” Lyden grimaced. “You’re too observant for your own good sometimes.”
“Dad…?” Shelly asked, unsure how to complete the question and finally deciding to blurt it out. “Why do you have an illusion around you?”
“Illusion?” Sheldon asked, confused. “I don’t… No, I see it now. It’s a good one.” He whistled in appreciation.
Illusions weren’t hard to pull off on something stationary if you knew what you were doing, but planting an illusion on a moving object, and getting it to conform so well to someone took skill and power. Whoever laid this one on their father was good. Very good. Shelly didn’t even know if Becky could have pulled it off before her death. They were bread and butter to the succubae, though, and Angela had the added power as the Pillar of Fire.
“Like I said,” Lyden turned away from them, “too observant. Your mother saw through it right away as well. It’s why she’s talking to Angela right now.” He was silent for a long moment. Shelly had no doubt that this was her father before them, but why the illusion? He looked completely normal. Other than not wanting them to fight, everything about him seemed normal. So again, why the illusion?
Shelly wanted to reach out to her father, who she could tell was hurting, but didn’t dare. Sheldon was a lot less subtle, as usual. “Dad, I think it’s about time you told us what’s really going on.”
Lyden muttered something under his breath. Sheldon reached forward and gripped their father’s shoulder, spinning him to face them.
The twins stepped back in shock at what they saw. It was Lyden Snow, and then again, it wasn’t. The ambassador between the two worlds was a mature man in his early fifties. He had graying hair, and while he might not be a hulking mass of muscle, there was a dignity in his fit frame that spoke of the years he’d endured.
The man before them had the same stature, but his hair was a rich dark brown, his wrinkles were gone, and his eyes were sharper. It was that last one that had clued Shelly into the deception. This Lyden was much younger than the one they knew. Young enough to be their brother, instead of their father.
“That’s more than just a dye job,” Sheldon muttered.
Shelly elbowed him in the stomach to keep him from uttering anything else foolish.
“I take it Angela did this to you?” Shelly asked.
“As you know, I didn’t lose all of my abilities as a generator,” Lyden started as his cheeks burned red. “Angela used that, and granted me youth with the energy she gained.”
“Energy she…” Sheldon trailed off. Shelly tried to elbow him again, but he dodged her. “I take it you two made up then, if you were in a position to, um, give her energy.” He dodged another attempt by Shelly to shut him. “Knock it off, Sis,” he chided her.
“Yes, but that’s the least of the problems right now,” Lyden said. He muttered something else and the illusion returned. It must be keyed to his voice, Shelly realized.
“Dad, this is awesome!” Sheldon slapped him on the back. “We can be like brothers now!”
“You’re an idiot,” Shelly muttered. Couldn’t he see how much their father didn’t like the situation? Lyden Snow was proud of his age, and Angela took that away from him. After everything else he’d lost, this was tearing their father apart.
“You need to take care of your relationship with Shlee,” Lyden pulled away from his son’s grip. “I know you want to figure out this whole Jessica thing, but I can’t have you, or them, going in with that concern in the back of your minds.”
Sheldon grimaced, despite his earlier joy at seeing their father made young again, he didn’t like being put off Jessica’s trail.
“That’s fine for him,” Shelly butted in, “but I don’t have anything like that going on. Sonia and I have come to an understanding, and she doesn’t have anything in her past that we need to work through first.”
Lyden turned his gray eyes—eyes that looked too young in his artificially aged face—and regarded her.
“Actually, I have a job for the two of you,” a disembodied female voice sounded from the air around them.
“Lysa?” Lyden asked at the same time as Sheldon and Shelly asked, “Aunt Lysa?”
“Yeah, sorry to eavesdrop,” the Pillar of Air stated. “I’ve been waiting for a good moment to speak up.”
“Now really isn’t a good time,” Shelly said, trying not to be rude. She didn’t want to upset her half-sister—the only one of her siblings that she addressed as aunt out of respect for her power—but she didn’t want to have any reason not to go after Jessica.
“Now is the best time, and you two are the best suited to accomplish this task,” Lysa said in a firm tone as a hazy outline of her body formed before them. The air in the room fluttered as she gave herself a physical presence. Shelly knew that if Lysa ever showed herself fully, the wind would rage hard enough to knock down skyscrapers. Her true body was in her own demesne, while only a portion of her presence was here.
“Yeah right,” Sheldon groused. “I have to go face my girlfriend’s vampire fiancée.” Despite how happy her brother seemed with their dad’s transformation, he still wasn’t happy about not going after Jessica.
“Don’t act childish,” Shelly chided her brother, though she wasn’t happy to hear Lysa’s request either.
“That’s perfect, actually,” Lysa gave them a ghostly smile.
“I know you’re not much older than us, even if you were born as an adult,” Sheldon said in a tone that made Shelly wince, “but I don’t think you understand what perfect means.”
“Sheldon…” Lyden warned his son, but her brash brother didn’t listen.
“What can be perfect about going into the Pillar of Darkness’s domain to confront a vampire, and try to explain to him that his fiancée, who never had any intentions of cheating on him, was forced to fall in love with me by an ancient love goddess, and oh! by the way, I rather like her also, despite my best efforts to be a good man and not steal her away? She still loves him, but she loves me also. And did I mention he was a vampire? The werewolves and vampires barely have a truce right now, and if this whole thing goes public it could send them hurtling back into another war. Not to mention the vampire’s speed, ferocity, and strength. If he decides to fight me, I know I can’t be killed, but that doesn’t mean I don’t feel pain, and even I don’t know if I can take on one of those. What part of that is perfect?”
“Sheldon Shemhazau Lance!” Lyden shouted. Sheldon was breathing heavily as he finished his tirade, but Shelly’s mind was spinning. She hadn’t considered until this moment the implications of Gloria’s handiwork. The vampires and werewolves were never friendly with one another, and it almost stretched reasoning that two might fall in love. But Shlee’s actions, forced though they might be because of Gloria’s mistake, could end up sending them into another war, instead of possibly starting to bridge the gap between them.
“It’s perfect, because I need you both to go into the Pillar of Darkness’s domain to retrieve something that may bring Arethusa back to life,” Lysa stated in unruffled tones. She could have been discussing the fact that the Pillar of Fire’s demesne was unseasonably warm, instead of bringing Areth back from the dead.
Shelly was stunned to hear Lysa’s words, and by the look on Sheldon’s face, he was also.
“I’m going too,” Lyden piped up, his voice firm and adamant. “Why didn’t you tell me that there was a way to bring her back?”
“She’s stuck in her golden statue,” Lysa said evenly. “And I did tell you, just now. I only got the last bit of information from Brock’s new boyfriend, Oberon, a couple minutes ago, and I rushed over here. But you can’t go, Dad.”
“What?” Lyden spluttered for a few seconds, choking on his shock before he could add, “Why not?”
“Because I think you have the best chance of stopping Jessica,” Lysa said.
“Uh, why him and not me?” Shelly asked, hurt by the simple statement. “I was her girlfriend, and I know her weaknesses even if she didn’t really care for me, I should have the best chance.”
Lysa looked at her with sad eyes as she shook her head. “I’ve looked in on her when I could, and know that she hurts for betraying you. I—”
“Wait!” Sheldon interrupted. “You’ve been watching her? You know where she is? Why didn’t you say so sooner?”
“As I was saying,” Lysa continued, “I know her feelings for you were genuine, but I think facing you right now—or you, Sheldon—would be a mistake. She is driven by something inside her, and I’m not sure she’s entirely in control. If that other part of her hurt either of you, she would lose whatever control she has, and become more dangerous.”
“She may have a fragment of an Outsider in her,” Lyden informed them.
Shelly thought back to the Paladonic Knight’s prison cell, and the way Jessica changed. She’d mentioned something about winning, and being surprised. At the time there was too much else going on to question her, but now she wondered. Had that been the Outsider coming out?
“But wouldn’t that emotional attachment allow us to reach her?” Sheldon asked.
Shelly snorted in disgust. Trust her brother to come up with a logical idea to cover an emotional issue. When would he understand that women’s emotions didn’t follow logic?
“Not necessarily,” Lyden hedged before either Shelly or Lysa could respond. “But I don’t understand why it has to be me? I’d rather help restore Areth to her natural form.”
“Just like we’d rather go after Jessica?” Sheldon snapped at their dad. Lyden grimaced, but he didn’t look away from the Pillar of Air.
“Because she thinks you’re her father.” Lysa shook her head, then added, “Oh, I know she isn’t. I heard the conversation with Angela. Don’t give me that look, Dad. I left before anything happened.”
“So she really did think she was sleeping with her siblings?” Sheldon asked, a disgusted twist to his lips.
Lysa nodded to him before turning back to Lyden. “She fears you, or the Outsider in her fears you. You have the best opportunity of breaking through to her.”
“Do you know what her plans are?” Lyden asked, a resigned look on his face.
“No,” Lysa stated. “She holds those close, and doesn’t even share them with…” she trailed off with a quick glance to Sheldon, before turning back to their father. “With her companions in Gaia’s city.”
“She has allies?” Sheldon asked. “Gee, I guess it didn’t take her long to replace us!”
Shelly was a bit surprised at the amount of shock in her brother’s tone. She also felt let down by the idea of being replaced so soon, but she kept herself quiet.
“Yes,” was all Lysa said in response. Shelly noted something in her sister’s eyes, something she wasn’t saying, but had other things on her mind.
“All the more reason Dad should take us with him,” she said. “We should all face Jessica, and whoever she’s got trailing at her heels like a lost little puppy, now.” Okay, so maybe she was a bit more bitter than she thought. She had every right to be. Jessica had professed her love, then abandoned her, and was now hooking up with someone else only days later. Sure, she had Sonia now, but that was different. She didn’t go chasing after Sonia, and she hadn’t abandoned all thought of Jessica. Sonia was a boon to her damaged heart, but she couldn’t fill the hole left by Jessica’s abandonment.
She felt a hand grip her shoulder. She tried to look at who it was, but then realized her eyesight was blurry from tears. Without meaning to, she turned and buried her face in the man’s chest, and recognized the strong arms that wrapped around her as her brother’s.
It was stupid. She shouldn’t be crying over this still, but she couldn’t help it. Jessica had toyed with her heartstrings, and no matter what she might tell herself, it hurt. She didn’t know how long she cried into her brother’s shoulder, but when she finally pulled away, there was an unmistakable wet spot.
Suddenly she grew embarrassed, not only for breaking down like that in front of her family, but because she wasn’t the only one to lose someone that night. Sheldon had lost Gloria as well. He might have received two girlfriends in her place, but she knew her brother enough to know he was still hurting as well as she was.
“It’s decided, then” Lyden stated with finality.
“What?” Shelly asked, wiping away the last vestiges of her tears.
“Yeah, but I don’t like it,” Sheldon said and gnawed on his lower lip. “You stop whatever she’s doing in Gaia’s city, and we’ll retrieve what’s needed to bring back Areth.”
“Wait…” Shelly said, realizing that the conversation had moved on while she sobbed. “No, we need to stop Jessica together. As a family. We need—” she choked off as the woman’s name formed a ball in her throat. She swallowed and tried again. “Things never work out well when we separate. We need to stay together.”
Everyone looked at her for a moment, but no one spoke.
“Please,” she pleaded with them.
“I’ll talk to her, Dad. You get Mom, and return to the Orange Bubble,” Sheldon said in somber tones. “We’ll make sure to bring Areth back to you, but be careful.”
“I will, Son,” Lyden intoned. The two men hugged briefly, before Lyden turned to her. He pulled her into a tight hug. She tried to fight him off, but he was too strong. Tears bubbled up again, but this time she fought them down. Everything was wrong. Nothing was going the way it should, and she couldn’t get them to see it. “Take care of your sister.” Lyden’s voice sounded above her head. “And if at all possible, don’t use her when she’s in Murasame’s form. You saw what happened to her and Jessica at the Knight’s base.”
“I understand,” Sheldon said, his voice somber and grave.
Lyden released her and she stared between the two men, her frustration growing. She tried to find the words to tell them how stupid they were being, but there weren’t any. After a few moments, she stomped her foot and walked back into the room she’d shared with Sonia. Let the men be foolish. She’d show them. She’d sneak out and chase after Jessica herself. Sheldon didn’t need her to face Shlee’s fiancée. She knew she was better suited to talk to Jessica anyway. Her dad didn’t understand Jessica the way Shelly did. He wouldn’t be able to reach her, the real Jessica…. The woman Shelly had spent so many nights with wasn’t… Wasn’t… She wanted to say a monster, but she wasn’t so certain anymore.
Jessica wasn’t the woman Shelly had thought she was, but she didn’t think she was the creature Angela made her out to be either.
Shelly would find her, and then she would make everyone else understand. She just needed to wait for the right moment to slip away.
