Revenge, and A Little Bit More

Chapter Twenty Five: Bewitched

"We should get up, amare." Lilith kissed Alcina ever so gently, admiring the beautiful woman in front of her. They were laying on their bed, Alcina on her stomach in front of Lilith, who was relaxing with her back against the headboard of their four-poster bed. Alcina was resting her head on her arms, her hair hung loose, dark waves flowing on her naked back. In the corner of her mouth, tiny bit of Lilith's blood. Her makeup was not perfect, but she remained breathtaking.

"I can't move if you keep looking at me like that, lupus meum." Alcina sighed, her golden eyes half-lidded. Lilith was staring, as usual, smiling softly. She cleared her throat, blinking rapidly, averting her gaze from her naked lover.

"You're just, so beautiful, love." she hummed as she got up and jumped off the bed with shaky legs. She was still extremely self-conscious of her body, her scars and the unwanted rolls and curves, so she ran real fast to their bathroom, feeling Alcina's eyes on her the whole way. 

"You're beautiful, Lilith. Stop running from me when you're naked." Alcina sighed as she lazily rolled onto her back, staring into the canopy of the bed.

"I don't run!" she heard Lilith laugh nervously. Alcina scoffed before sitting up, and taking a sip of her wine. 

"You do love. Would you like some wine?" she asked, slipping on her underwear and dress, before taking a seat at her vanity. When there was no answer, she glanced to the bathroom, seeing black smoke emanating from the bathroom door. 

"Lilith? Are you alright, my love?" She called, getting up and walked to the bathroom.

"Alcina. I need y-you to r-run." Lilith said in a pained voice, followed by a deep, guttural growl. Alcina froze, seeing Lilith's shadow in the bathroom door grow in size, shifting to her wolf. 

"Lilith. What's going on?" Alcina became more worried as she was still stuck in her spot. A terrifying laugh came from the bathroom, with a low voice accompanying Lilith's.

"Miranda... Is, in my head, FUCK!! I said RUN ALCINA!!" she screamed, barking in between the pained cries and groans.

"Shit!" Alcina screamed, running out of the room, dropping her wine glass in the process. She slammed the doors shut behind her, locking them as quickly as she could. She could hear Lilith fighting inside the room, hearing the vanity being smashed, presumably to try and get Miranda out of her head. Alcina turned around and almost ran into a confused maiden, carrying fresh linen. She grabbed the maiden by her shoulders, and looked into her eyes.

"Run, and tell the other maidens to hide. As quickly as you can!" she hissed, letting go of the woman. She quickly ran, looking for her daughters and the twins. She stopped, when she heard the bedroom doors crash open, the wood practically exploding as a giant dire wolf emerged, ducking through the doors. Alcina's eyes grew wide when she saw that her love's wolf was at least three times her original size, looking rabid with red eyes and a foaming mouth. Alcina couldn't move out of fear and confusion, as the wolf came barreling down towards her, baring its enormous canines.

"Lilith! Please!" she pleaded, but her sobs fell on deaf ears. Lilith was fighting, deliberately throwing herself against the walls, trying to stop Miranda from attacking Alcina.

"Alcina please! Move!" the wolf let out another gut-wrenching growl. Alcina managed to move last minute, dodging the wolf's jaws. The wolf crashed through the windows in the hallway, crashing out onto the balcony. Alcina glanced back briefly to check if she was alright, before running off again. She heard the fluttering of two heart beats, thankfully not too far away. She burst into the lounge, spotting Karl and Amy making out on the couch. They both jumped up in surprise, guilty expressions on their faces.
