Nordlys: The Northern Lights Orgy Club

32

"I'll be in my room, making no noise, and pretending that I don't exist" I grumble under my breath, shuffling the tarot cards again.

The Overlord finally let me leave the Tower, after Britt had assured him that everyone else had cleared out of the Castle for the day. He snuck down the stairs, and checked the door to the basement dungeon to make sure it was empty, before signaling to me that it was safe to come down.

I had to sling my cumbersome red gown over one arm, and carefully place each foot on the narrow stairs going down, leaning against the wall for support because there is no handrail (a serious design flaw as far as I'm concerned).

I was allowed to grab some food in the kitchen, wolf it down at top speed, and then ordered to go to my room (meaning the room I was assigned when I first arrived here). It's a lot smaller, but more convenient to the exits and everything else. I just have to stay quiet so that no one comes looking.

Britt concocted a story that I had left the event early, due to morning sickness. She told me not to worry, everyone would be leaving for good on Sunday, and after they were gone I can use the pool, which I have been looking forward to immensely.

In the meantime, I'm hiding out in the dark, using the light from the window to see my cards. I can hear everyone laughing and carousing on the lawn, enjoying each other's company in the cool weather of the evening. I'm glad they are having a good time, I just wish I could be a part of it. There will be fireworks when it's dark enough, I know, because it was included in the plans I made with Britt for this event. If I'm lucky, I might be able to see them through my window.

"There will be other events" I tell myself as I fiddle with the cards.

Eight of Swords pops out of my hand, lands on the bed.

"Ha ha, very funny. Rub it in, why don't ya" I grouse.

I tuck the card back into the deck and shuffle some more.

"You know what I really need?" I say to the deck. "I need some dick!" I complain.

I hadn't asked the Overlord for sex when we were sequestered in the tower, as he was so sad about his Mother, and it just didn't seem right. My dry spell continues.

A card flies out, landing face up. Månen. The Moon.

"Oh, well... that's a 'No', isn't it?" I grimace at the card, as I pick it up to study the picture.

The picture is a bit different than what I'm used to. Instead of a dog and a wolf, there are two wolves on opposite sides of the river, howling up at the moon, with identical Towers behind them. I stroke one of the wolves with a fingertip, smiling, for it brings me comfort to see his longing.

I drift to the window, and look out at the full moon that presides over this event tonight. I am tempted to howl at it, just like the wolves on the card, but I don't, because I am supposed to stay quiet.

"I need a wolf" I whisper to the moon, and hold up the card to point at the picture. "I need someone who needs me like that."

I go back to the bed, and pick up the cards, stowing them away safely in their silk, then tucking them into the front pouch of my suitcase. I should try to sleep. I didn't sleep at all the night before. I lay down on the bed, looking out the window at the beautiful bright moon as I try to settle myself for rest.

I didn't think I had fallen asleep, but a sharp noise startles me awake. I blink my eyes rapidly, hearing a loud sizzle and pop outside. Fireworks!

I run to the window, trying to see them, angling my head in different directions to locate them. I can just barely see colors in the sky, in the upper left corner. I press my face up against the glass trying to get a better view.
