Blackville District, Private area, Y city.
Elite mansion B.
In Vanessa's room, the situation was getting tenser. None of them had made the move to fight yet. On Evelyn's side, one part of the room felt cool, but the other side was freezing because of her lotuses. On Vanessa's side, it was scorching hot, but nothing in the room was burning, as she had no intention to do so.
They kept staring at each other and then smiled meaningfully.
"Decide on the terms and let's fight," Vanessa stated.
"If I win, you stay here but if it's otherwise, you can go see Lisa but you exceed 2 hours, never think of returning to meet a peaceful me," said Evelyn, as the lotuses floating above her hands rotated.
"So in order words, I just need to beat you silly, my dear BFF" with that, she launched a fire ring at Evelyn. It flew fast with great momentum as it headed to Evelyn, but Evelyn scoffed.
"Petty tricks." she launched the two different lotuses at the incoming fire ring. When they collided, the two lotuses were burnt into ashes and the flame ring still continued to Evelyn, who prepared another set of lotuses to launch. But Vanessa took the chance to escape through the open window, her wings flapped hard and the flames were bright.
"I better leave now," Vanessa muttered, and flew away. But in no time, Evelyn flew out too and started chasing after Vanessa.
"You cunning fox, don't run," Evelyn telepathed.
"I'm not running, but flying. Besides, when have I been an angel?" Vanessa laughed and also took the time to enjoy the view before her. It was just so beautiful and overwhelming. She could fly and enjoy such a good view with the wind caressing her skin. Evelyn also enjoyed the beautiful view below them before recalling her mission. That man (Jack Reynolds) wasn't a paper tiger. She didn't want any harm to come to her friend all in the name of saving Lisa. Besides, Vanessa chose the Art class back in high school and knew nothing about medicine. So, what was this anxiousness to save Lisa, when top medical experts were there? She just couldn't understand.
"Vanny, we haven't even started the fight. The winner is yet decided and we are hosting a party back home too. Also, how can you be sure Lisa will be taken to McDermott? Come on, think normal for once!" Evelyn ranted but Vanessa shook her head.
"Bestie, stop the chase unless you just want to have a flying competition with me," Vanessa did stunts in the air.
"You have to stay with me. It's getting dark," said Evelyn.
"But I see well." Vanessa flew faster until she reached McDermott hospital and found a secret place close to the hospital to land.
Evelyn also did the same.
"Now comes the problem. How to change back?" Vanessa complained.
"Maybe imagining our human self will help. You know, all those werewolf novels and movies say so. I'll go first." Evelyn closed her eyes and immediately her white gown changed to a pink mini gown and she now wore red shoes. Her wings were gone. Eyes had returned to normal and the tint on her hair vanished.
"Your turn," Evelyn said, feeling proud of herself for being smart enough to figure out the way to transform back.
Vanessa closed her eyes and imagined herself wearing a black chiffon gown and white slippers.
Soon enough, she returned to her human self. But their skin was still glowing, so they had to wait for a while before it dimmed.
"Vanessa, I won't fight you anymore. But if Lisa yells at me, I'll have to vent my ire on a certain fox," Evelyn stated.
"That's fine by me BFF. Will you wait here..."
"No way!" Evelyn cut short Vanessa's words.
"You're scared I might not return?" Vanessa asked.
"Not that. I just wanna see that bastard man. It would be nice to freeze him" Evelyn had begun to think of various kinds of torture she'd give Jack and Vanessa shook her head.
"Let's go," Vanessa led the way.
"Hey! Earlier, did you think I wanted to fight with you?" Evelyn asked.
"Not really. You wanted to test our newfound selves and the powers that accompany us." Vanessa replied.
"And it felt so good to fly," Evelyn remarked.
"And I had fun winning the race" Vanessa poked at Evelyn's sore spot.
"I will get back at you later. Just you wait" Evelyn said calmly but Vanessa laughed.
"I think it's time we do a little check on our family history. Our ability to telepath and sharp hearing is a shocker but adding that to our fairy self and undiscovered powers, we have to do something about it" said Evelyn as they walked away.
"Noted, my princess," Vanessa said and they laughed.
Unknown to them, a figure in black wearing a grey veil was hiding at the place they transformed back to human. Seeing that they'd left, the figure came out and looked in their direction.
"Hahaha, I finally found them. Can't wait for them to grow stronger then I can take my revenge in a grander manner. Hahaha," the figure vanished.
Meanwhile, at M city.
Nelson Woodley got a call that informed him of the death of seven pregnant ladies. They all had the fetus in them, squashed like potatoes before bleeding to death.
"Well, that's quite shocking," said Nelson as he spun around on his presidential chair at his company, GVS enterprises. "But why are you calling me, Peter? Am I the police?"
"Well, boss! One of our future clients, Mrs. Laila Rome, lost her life too. She was 2 months pregnant." Peter jones dropped the bomb.
"Well, life is never fair. No need to lament. Just give my word to the husband. Tell him I'll come to visit during the funeral. And one more thing, Peter. Such bad news which carries the aura of death, don't directly call me. Who knows if I might be next?"
"Sir, are you afraid of death?" Peter asked half-jokingly, and Nelson scoffed.
"I'm only afraid that death would think I'm too righteous to be touched. I'm also handsome. If death is female, she could fall for me, a cold, handsome Millionaire" Nelson said narcissistically and Peter Jones on the other end of the call sighed in defeat.
What did he expect of an unemotional boss? Nothing nice!
Hella, I guess the foundation of the story is laid. Now I can relax. Kisses!
