KS HOTLINE MEETING #9
BECKY TO THE RESCUE OR WE’RE NOT IN SORBOLAND ANYMORE
Part two
**********
Princess took Becky by the hand and gave a follow me glance at Herkie. "Now I see you have knowledge of Melite, that's her name right, being her. There is another with some black leather walking bad attitude and one with... " she brings Becky closer and whispers "...Sov."
"So Melite with Cupid, Sov and the walking bad attitude that would be Ares. Do you know who's with them?"
"Sorry, I can't help you there. But maybe after seeing who's here, you'll know" added Princess. They had gotten out in the garden at KS HQ and in front of a very big door that Becky had never seen before. Princess with a wave of her hand opened it. Becky stepped in and was at once called upon.
"Becky. Finally. What took you so long? (note of the author: this is a inside Highlander joke) It is so cool here. Come sit with us."
Becky was stunned. There stood Princess (our Princess who will be call Prinny for now on in this story), Zuell, Nyxx, Sabrina, Norma, Deeva, Josée, Andulasia, Nannyboo and many more. And of course our MMMuffin. All seated and watching Star playing chess with a long hair, drop dead gorgeous Duncan. (could not help myself sorry, lol)
Then Becky heard "Hey, Becky, come around her. It's such a great place." And she saw Apollena, Dicez, Gazelle, Susan, Tedras and several others discussing and watching with adoring eyes Connor sharpening his katana while telling them where he got it you know Ramirez, the Japanese metallurgist that made it Masamune and Ramirez's beloved wife Shakiko. He had a charming smile. Becky unknowingly clenched her hand on her white rose thorns "Ouch!" She opened her hand. A tiny drop of blood appeared. She looked side ways into Herkie’s eyes. "Well that was close. Have to be more careful."
She walked toward the chess game. Sat down near Prinny and tried to get her to remember. No luck. She looked over at the others. And saw Nyxx. "Yes, that’s the one I have to get first. With her training, she’ll help me. And she gets herself into trance so often. It’s should not be hard to get her out of it." thought Becky.
Clinking her fingers in Nyxx’s face, she got her attention. "Oh Becky. So nice to see you. Missed you." She hugged her but kept her eyes on the game. "Nyxx, listen, I was wondering, what was the color of the rose you got from Herk on Valentine’s day?" "Color? Rose? I got a rose? No, you must be mistaken. Who’s Herk?" Nyxx was a little more attentive. Then Becky had a stroke of genius. "Hey, Herkie come here." She pulled the standee and Nyxx just stared at it for awhile her blue eyes glazed and suddenly, she smiled and said " Well, how did you ever get the Grape Standee out of Gazelle’s office? I’ve been trying to find a way for I don’t know how long…" looking around Nyxx was a little disoriented. "Where are we? What’s with all of them?" pointing to the other amazons. "Why is Star playing chess with <gulp> that guy?"
Becky let out a small yippee. "One down, too many to go" she thought. But Nyxx would help out, she wasn’t in covert operation for nothing.
So Becky and Nyxx, feeling a lot better as long as she did not look to long at the tall handsome man playing chess planned their attack. Nyxx surveyed her surroundings. Who was there. Who was missing. Which would be easier to get too.
"Here the plan. We get one other to help me get everyone out of the delirium, it’s a great delirium mind you, Gods, look at him. He’s so adorable with his pony tail…" "Nyxx, snap out of it, please, I need you" pleaded Becky.
"Oh, right, sorry. Now, where was I. Oh, yeah, I’ll try to get Deeva to snap out first. Then Josée and Apollena. Some are going to be tougher to crack. Princess, MMMuffin and Dicez are not likely to give up easily. As for Star, we’ll need all the help we can get."
"Yes, she will be a problem, I’ll start looking for the missing ones. I know Melite is somewhere with Cupid. We are missing Freya, Kendaa and Chantal" said Becky.
"Well, my bet is the two war nut cases are with Ares. And to find Freya, follow the screams, she’s with Sov. No brainer there. We regroup in one hour. Here. I’ll probably have most of things under control" replied Nyxx.
"I guess, they have you go thru some extraordinary training at covert operation. I feel better already. Wish me luck" and Becky left to go to the alternate KS HQ.
"Well, the training does come in handy, sometimes… Okay. Now, Deeva my dear…" and Nyxx made a beeline to Deeva who was staring and mumbling to herself "He can’t cut his hair, ever".
Sitting down near her friend, Nyxx took her hand. "Deeva, listen to my voice. Can you hear me. Listen carefully. I want you to go back in your memory. Listen to my voice. Remember that Saturday afternoon. You were in line at the kissing booth. It was Sov’s time in it." Deeva blinked once. Nyxx continued.
"Remember, you were holding your pile of tickets in your hands. You were so nervous. Rheana was in front of you. She had only 2 tickets in her hands but Sov had made it extra special with icing." Deeva blinked again. Nyxx smiled. " Can you see it. Rheana giving Sov her tickets and asking politely for a number 3. (Nibble kiss). Sov pulled her close, put some whip cream on her lips and proceeded to take the cream off inch by inch. " (Well you ask for it Rheana, hope it’s to your liking. LOL)
Deeva let out a sigh. Nyxx urged on. " Now, it was your turn you had , how many tickets did you have?" " 30" Deeva replied. "I had 30 tickets and boy were they worth it" Deeva just turned and stared at Nyxx. " Welcome back, friend, we have some work to do."
Becky had decided to look for Chantal and Kendaa in Chantal’s office. The most logical place she could think of. Going up the stairs, she heard giggles again then a moan. "Well, I guess Melite is enjoying herself" she chuckled.
The manager’s office door was ajar. Chantal was pacing in her office. Ares was sitting and looking like he was about to blow a gasket. "Now will you get a grip, please. You have to decide, it’s my brother or me. I’m tired of this sharing thing. Make up your mind. NOW." Chantal stopped. "Make up my mind?" She looked totally out of it. Becky cleared her throat and said " Well that would be a good start. Maybe you can choose both?"
Chantal turned. "Pardon, me. That is a very good choice." Ares rolled his eyes. "Woman!!!" Becky said a little ticked off " Are you talking to me?" "NO, to her" said Ares pointing to one of his favorite pupil who at the moment was beginning to annoy him. Really. "That’s also a good choice" replied Chantal.
"Well, that’s funny. Chantal can’t seem to make up her mind" observed Becky. "Of course, both choices are very good" continued Chantal. "She’s doing this on purpose. Can’t you make up your mind. You’re driving me insane" snapped Ares. "Well, that would be a first. It’s usually the other way around" mused Becky.
Then Chantal said with a desperate voice. "That’s the trouble. I’ve lost my mind. It went south and I can’t get it back. I have only one thought in my brain…" Becky sighed " I know… Ares…" "Finally, a wise choice my dear. Now, let get out…" started Ares.
But Chantal just sat at her desk and recited to herself.
"I could think of something else
Talk about the weather
Giggle with the others
If I only had my mind"
"I could stop dreaming and drooling
About that no good godling
If I only had my mind…"
Now, Becky could see the anger in Ares’ eyes. "Well, we’ll see about you thinking about something else…" Ares grabbed Chantal, pulled her out of her chair and kissed her like he wanted to take out her soul.
Becky a little embarrassed, started to back away and took a step towards the door. She saw Herkie there. She smiled. Then she heard. " Ares… What is this? Where are we? Why are you looking at me like I’m about to be lunch?" A wicked laugh was the answer.
<In the great hall>
Nyxx and Deeva decided it would be best to both work on each group of Amazons separately . Deeva made her way to Josée and Nyxx walked towards Apollena. They had to act quickly. Deeva had remember Josée’s encounter with Sov and thought she could get her to snap out of the Highlander trance. Apollena was a little trickier. Nyxx would have to get pretty sneaky with her.
<In Chantal’s office>
Having finally gotten Chantal up to speed about the situation, Becky was on her way to look for Freya. Chantal took upon herself to find Kendaa and with Ares’ help she thought it would be quite easy to get Kendaa back.
<In the great hall>
Nyxx approached the group of Amazons circling Connor, very carefully. She could see that both Gazelle and Dicez were very much gone. Still there was still a chance to get them back with some luck and some skills. Susan looked pretty much in trance Apollena was the natural target. Nyxx sat down next to her. Ap was talking to herself. "Great eyes. Oh and that laugh. I never get tired of it." And at that exact moment Connor laughed at something Dicez said. Ap tilted her head. "Gotta get some attention, get closer" she whispered.
"You won’t get any, Quennie. You’re not Queen here. You’re one among many" said calmly Nyxx. Ap’s head turned and she looked at Nyxx a little anger in her eyes. " Oh, really, I will have you know…"
"Oh, really. You can forget it. This is not Kull. You’re not in Sorboland anymore. Here, you’re a new face. But with Kull, you were more, shall it say, appreciated." Nyxx was needling Apollena. Apollena’s eyes and face were now showing much anger. "One among many. Not so special." And then she said "Did you said Kull?" "Yes, Kull, you know, the big fellow with an ax. The one that calls you his queen" replies Nyxx.
"His…. Queen…" Apollena looked a little lost. Nyxx decided to push her advantage. "Yes. Try to picture this you were in line at the kissing booth. You are the last one in line. You’re about to go to the booth. Can you see it?" Apollena just smiled but started to say. " I was the last one. Had like a hundred tickets. He smiled at me, took the tickets and said , I guess we will be at it all night. It gets a little fuzzy after that. I remember kissing him a long time. than … water. Princess, you little …. Hosing everybody…." Apollena jumped and shouted "Princess, you nitwit, we’re all wet now" and then looked around very confused. Nyxx chuckled "Yep all wet and that was *not* a bad thing" thinking about the drying session afterwards. (Note of the author : but that another story we won’t get into *that* here.)
Becky was on her way to the Herkspital when see heard a familiar voice yelling at the top of his lungs. She pushed slightly the door of the Sweet Chamber and listened.
"Happy, you want happy. I hate happy". "Come on Sov, have some heart" "A heart? <laughs> You’re so funny today, Freya"
Becky comes into the room. "What do you think you’re doing?" asked Freya. "Oh, thank the gods, Freya. Finally someone who’s sane. Listen, we are in deep trouble…" replied Becky. Freya ignored her and goes to Sov who waits patiently on the massage table.
"Did you hear anything?" asked Freya. "Did you say something,?" replies Sov kissing her hand. "No, want an apple?" "No" and he gives her a lazy smile. " Are you implying that my apple is not what it ought to be?" "No, it’s just I like cherries a lot better." "Oh, shut up <gives him a slap on his hand> and she oils her hands. "Okay, what do you want oiled first?" "You can start with my arms…" answers Sov.
"Now, have a heart can I start with your toes instead…"
Sov looks up at her and starts to sing (See Melite he can sing)
"Darling, I could be tender, I could be gentle
And awful sentimental
If I only had a heart…
<He stops> But I DON’T. So you can forget about getting out of here. You’re mine." He grabs her. Freya screams. They usual foreplay. LOL
Turning Becky gives Herkie a wild look and asked herself "What am I going to do now…" Right then a burst of light appears.
