Revenge, and A Little Bit More

Chapter Twelve: Confessions

Alcina woke first, feeling someone's arm wrapped around her waist. She slept so deeply that it took her a moment to remember what happened, and where she was. She looked at the arm around her, seeing a massive scar on the top of her hand, next to it, a black feather tattoo. The nails were painted black, fingers peppered with tiny scars. Her eyes trailed along the arm, gazing upon a fresh, pink scar on the forearm. Alcina winced, recalling yesterday's events. She quietly slipped out from under the arm, turning to look at Lilith's sleeping figure.
"Don't you dare get up." Lilith mumbled, eyes still closed. Alcina was afraid, to hurt her again.
"I..." she sighed, her voice raspy from the screaming.
"Lay down next to me, please. Just a little while longer, Alcina. Please?" she begged.
"Alright." Alcina said, reluctantly laying back down on her back next to Lilith. Shifting closer, Lilith placed her head on Alcina's shoulder, wrapping her arm around her waist again.
"Would you relax, please? You're making me nervous." Lilith complained, tightening her hold on Alcina. Her tense body did not relax, making Lilith groan. She sat up on her elbow, looking at Alcina.
"I'm not afraid, Alcina." she smiled, her tone serious.
"I'm afraid. To hurt you again. I don't want to hurt you. Never again."
"You won't. I'm way too adorable. Besides..." she trailed off, frowning.
"Besides what?" Alcina relaxed a little bit.
"I have so much to say to you, but I'm not good with words. I'm not shy, just... Not good with words."
"Just try. I think it's finally time we talk, don't you? Say whatever comes to mind."
"Look, I like being around you. I love it when you are happy. I know... I'm me... But I... I like your face." Lilith mumbled, concentrating hard on finding the right words.
"My face?" Alcina smiled.
"This... Isn't easy for me. I've never... Not like this. But. You matter to me. A lot."

Alcina sighed, smiling, running her hand over Lilith's arm.
"I like your face too." she said softly, her body now completely relaxed. She smiled lovingly, looking into Lilith's eyes.
"You're quiet? For once?" she chuckled, making Lilith smile. Lilith was staring at her, admiring her. Suddenly Lilith kissed her, holding her cheeks. Alcina hesitated, afraid of hurting her again. But Lilith's kiss quickly drew her in, showing the love through the kiss, making Alcina want more. She returned the kiss, pulling Lilith onto her body, holding her by her hips. Lilith wasn't sure what she was supposed to do, having never experienced something quite like this. She let her feral instincts take over, pressing her body closer to Alcina's. A few passionate minutes later, Alcina pulls away, her breathing deep, as she tried to control her own feral urges.
"Take a bath with me? I can't kiss you, covered in your dried blood on my dress." Alcina practically shivered with excitement.
"A bath sounds great, actually. Although my blood does look good on you." she chuckled. Alcina rolled her eyes as they made their way into the bathroom. Lilith looked around the huge bathroom while Alcina runs the water. A huge luxurious bathtub, vintage free standing, standing on four elegant golden stands. The bathroom was dark, just like her room, lit only by a few candles. Various soapes and bath salts stood on a table next to the sink. Lilith's gaze traveled to Alcina, the bloodied dress thrown to the side. Lilith gulped, seeing her in her undergarments for the first time. She was wearing white lingerie. She was busy gently undoing one of the garter straps on her thigh, when Lilith's stare caught her attention. She looked up at her and smiled.
"You're just going to watch me? That's not fair, darling."
"I... I, you're... Touch." she stammered, her hands trembling.
"Use your words, love." Alcina purred, walking closer to her.
"I... I want to touch you." was all she could manage.
"Well, undress then." Alcina laughed. Lilith managed to tear away her eyes from Alcina's body, her perfectly smooth porcelain skin made her feel very self-conscious all of a sudden.
"My body..." she mumbled, looking at her feet. Alcina hunched down and took her gently by her chin, lifting her gaze.
"What about your body?" the hungry glare Alcina gave her should have been enough for her to realize that Alcina found her extremely attractive. But Lilith's aloof nature made her overlook that totally.
"So many, uhm, scars."
"They're incredibly alluring to me, darling." Alcina purred in her ear, slowly unbuttoning her dress at the back. Then Lilith saw it, the Lust in Alcina's eyes, biting her lower lip, eyes wandering down to her cleavage.
"May I?" she asked softly, when all the buttons were undone. Lilith nodded, and A slight gasp left Alcina's lips, her eyes roaming over her body. Although there were a few scars on her stomach, arms and legs, her skin was pale and smooth, littered with tattoos of all shapes and sizes.
"Do you like them?" she asked, as Alcina trailed a finger over the tattoos on her chest.
"Marked by another?" she asked, a jealous tone surprised Lilith.
"No marks, amare. Just art." she hummed. Alcina kissed her neck softly before standing up and closing the taps on the bath. Alcina removed her lingerie, then getting into the tub, relaxing into the hot water. Suddenly and unexpectedly, all Lilith's uncertainty and fear dissappeared, and she took off the rest of her clothes. Alcina turned her head and looked at her. She climbed into the bath, straddling Alcina.
"Don't look at me like that." Alcina giggled, grabbing Lilith's hips.
"Like what?" Lilith acted innocent.
"Like that, darling. You'll drive me insane."
"So? What if I don't? What are you going to do about it?" Lilith teased, feeling a heat growing below her stomach. Alcina gave her a look of pure lust.
"I'll devour you." she whispered in a smokey voice.

"You've done something to me, you know." Lilith's entire body was trembling.
"Oh? Do tell." she purred, eyes half lidded. Lilith's eyes grew wide, taken aback by the lustful way she was looking at her.
"You... When you look at me like that. You... I don't even know how to explain?" she frowned, trying her best not to lose herself. She was unaware, but Lilith was slowly moving her hips.
"Show me then" she smiled as Lilith looked at her lips. 'Mulier Diaboli' she thought to herself as she leaned in, kissing Alcina softly. When Alcina moaned against her lips, the feral instinct took over her, making the kiss almost aggressive. Alcina's tongue was running over Lilith's lower lip, making its way into her mouth. Lilith's hands ran over her arms, down to her breasts, softly kneading. Alcina suddenly pulled away, making Lilith frown.
"Did I do it wrong?" a nervous giggle escaped her mouth. Alcina frowned at the question, if only Lilith knew how good she made her feel. She ran her fingers along Lilith's jaw.
"You're perfect, draga mea. It's not you.".
"Talk to me? You're making me worried." she pulled her hands away from her breasts.
"I'm afraid to hurt you again, Lilith. I know I've said it before, but I'll keep saying it. I am truly sorry for hurting you. It broke me seeing you without your emotions. So cold. And then yesterday, almost killing..." she trailed off, turning her head.
"Satis, please. I'm not afraid of you. And I know you won't hurt me again. Because, yesterday, that wasn't you. Donna hypnotized you. Until Karl shoved some kind of flower in your face."
"I don't recall Donna doing that..." Lilith saw the betrayal and hurt in her eyes. She never thought Donna would ever do this. Lilith held her hand against her cheek.
"Ask Karl. And your daughters. It wasn't you." her voice broke for a moment, noticed by Alcina.
"Use your words. Your words intoxicate me."
"Hmm. I don't like showing how I feel, my emotions. It's messy."
"I think you're mistaking feelings for paint." Alcina relaxed, tightening her grip on Lilith's hips. She grabbed a jug behind her and gently poured water over Lilith's body, before taking soap and gingerly washing her shoulders. Lilith thought for a while, but soon got lost in the beauty in front of her.
"Lilith. Come back to me, darling." Alcina chuckled at her attention span.
"Hmm? Oh! Uhm, how do I say this?" she frowned, placing her index finger and thumb on her chin. Alcina watched in amusement and adoration at the witch. 'Frumoasa' she smiled.
"If you... If you got hurt, it'd hurt me. And not just because I'd jump in front of whatever was going to hurt you, Alcina." she mumbled.
"You're amazing. Do you realize this?" she said, smiling at Lilith.
"I am?" all the playfulness and restlessness disappeared, and a shy, self-conscious witch emerged in front of Alcina.
"I've only ever felt like this for one other person. Which turns out to be the person you intend to kill. She hurt me, in ways you'll never know. Lilith, I am utterly and entirely in love with you. You're the most beautiful woman I've ever laid my eyes on. I love your personality, the way you become maniacal sometimes, and your laugh. Oh, your sweet laugh." she said softly, cupping Lilith's face with her hands. Lilith's green eyes, like fresh grass after rain, sparkled, showing the same adoration and love.
"And I know you struggle with words. So I'll need you to show me, how you feel." she hummed and placed a kiss on Lilith's cheek. Lilith suddenly had an idea, and jumped out of the bath.
"Why?! I was enjoying you on top of me!" Alcina complained.
"Calm your gorgeous self." she said, rummaging in her cloak. She took something out and climbed back in the tub. Without saying anything, she held out The Dagger of Death's Flowers in her palms. Alcina got visibly nervous, not because she was afraid Lilith will hurt her, but because the memories of that hellish night flashed through her mind.
"Calm." Lilith said softly, closing her eyes in concentration. She winced in pain as the dagger suddenly began to melt, dissolving in Lilith's hands, leaving a faint scar in the shape of the dagger on her palms.
"That's how I feel." Lilith mumbled, looking at the new scars on her hands.
"No one will ever hurt you again with that again for as long as I live."
