Chapter 4: Blood Sisters
Was almost dawn when together with one of mother servants she came back to the estate. Effects of latest drunk blood still seemed to affect her body but she was too tired and sleepy.
"I see that you came back finally," said Elvira sitting on one of the chairs in the living room.
"Yes mother," said Karen bowing and then waiting for the next command.
"How went hunt?" she asked the short man, who stood motionless near Lilica on what he thought a moment before he replied.
"She found several victims including one fairly rich with life energy."
"Good. You both can go to bed. But the punishment will not miss you my daughter," a careless wave of her hand dismissed both. Karen slowly walking reached her room and removing all clothes walked to the window. Making sure that it is tightly covered lay down on the bed smiling slightly feel the coolness of bedclothes on her bare skin.
"Feels good," she mumbled before she closed her eyes and pretty quickly fell asleep.
The next night she woke up when above the horizon still could be seen sun.
"The sun..." she mumbled when slightly spread window covering some rays fell on her cheek. Immediately clapped them again and clutched her face letting out muffled groan of pain. The place where light brushed her skin was burning terribly but then the pain started to fade.
"Strange," she said when approached mirror and despite the gloomy room didn't saw too extensive burns.
Previously, even a moment in the sun cuased her very strong and long-lasting pain and a part of the body affected by light underwent rapid decay leaving a deep wound. Today was only a trace of light sunburn at least not for someone with her ability to selfhealing.
"Something happened miss?" asked one of the servants, who stood in the doorway of her room. Just in case didn't go deeper inside in case of green-haired women rage could quickly get out of her sight.
"Nothing," she moved hand over the cheek again, making sure that the wound healed pretty quickly, "just nothing. Did the mother have woken up?"
"I think she should wake up soon. Somehow you got up early today," the man said quickly then turning closed door and quickly walked away down the hall.
"Why I woke up so early today?' thinking she went to the closet, from which fetched some clothes. For a moment she indeed wanted to run out into the hallway and punish the servant for the last few words that he said, but she felt so strange euphoria that made her the lost interest.
"Mother," she sighed hearing somewhere in the mansion muffled sound like hitting a heavy object on the floor covering or maybe someone's body. Sitting on the edge of the bed Karen began to listen to the sounds of the awakening of the other cursed inhabitants of the house.
"I beg your pardon ma'am," mumbled young tall man getting up from the floor. Sitting on the bed tall woman with blue hair reaching to the middle of her back didn't even look in his direction while getting up.
"Don't make the mistakes then you will not have to ask for forgiveness," said coldly woman taking off her nightgown. She reached for her dress lying neatly folded on a chair and slowly put it on yourself.
"Did anything interesting happen during the day?" she asked flatly.
"Came back one of sent into the country messengers," replied the young man pressed his hand to the left side of the face and between fingers slowly leaked blood.
"Which one?"
"The one you sent milady on the west coast," replied a voice from the door. In the doorway stood wearing a bit ragged simple country clothing gigantic individual.
"And?" carelessly asked with a hint of curiosity impatient.
"A few weeks ago fishermen from the village where I had to go fished out of the sea something strange," was silent for a moment waiting for a reaction Elvira, who just stared for a moment in his direction and her nails began to slowly lengthen.
"As I find out it's a big chunk of ice with frozen inside some being. I couldn't see ice close up but I suspect that inside may be HER," finished again waiting for the reaction of white-eyed woman. In the meantime, the other man slowly walking around and trying not to draw attention to himself left the room.
"Could she be in condition to awaken?" looked at the standing man.
"I don't know but in a week or less there will show up personally a member of Magic Council. I already saw from the distance a few astral projection of council members near place where ice is being held," he replied, trying not to miss anything.
"Hmmm," mused Elvira with careless motion dismissing the huge man. "That's it for now. Feed and be ready for new orders soon."
Bowing low walked away, leaving her alone in the bedroom.
'If it's Her would be worth to take care of transporting Her here and then awaken away from the prying eyes of the council,' went to the window and gently pulled away the curtains.
'It has to be You. Otherwise, none of the council would bother to venture there personaly. But why he comming? Is it to make sure that they manage to keep You in control when you wake up? Do they want to make some experiments or just cut You to see what we are made of?' leaning her forehead against the glass slowly moved edge-sharp claws tipped over the glass, leaving a few scratches. Moments later called servant.
"Yes, milady?" bent in half and stayed still in a position waiting for orders.
"Find out if my two daughters got up and then make sure that both showed up in the living room in a quarter of an hour," she said slowly and when the servant stood up and turned toward the door, she added. "No just take care of younger one. Karen I'll personally take care of."
"Yes," he said and disappeared down the hall. She stood for a moment with closed eyes before turning into a cloud of mist, which disappeared between the cracks in the floor. Almost silently appeared behind Karen, who felt her presence when some sharp claws pierced her right lung. Instinctively coughed a bit of blood.
"You still have the habits from time when you lived," with a cold voice said Corona and performing careless gesture threw green haired woman to the ground. Before she moved was already above her and with one foot pressed her to the ground.
"Did you forgot what I said yesterday, right?" leaned over and grabbing Karen's hair pulled so she let out a muffled groan.
"No," she said trying to change the position but slightly older woman was still firmly pressing her to the floor.
"I thought I raised you well," the blue-woman using a free hand slowly moved tips of the fingers over the back of held daughter. "Without unnecessary torture learned how to behave as cursed," stopped her hand and began to slowly sink claws into her body. "And you still can't remember those simple rules, right?"
"No," mumbled Lilica trying not to think about the pain in her back.
"What no?" asked while with fast move dig claws till the end causing them to pierce through green haired female body. "Not heard what my command gave you maid?" Hand which has kept her hair let go but quickly grabbed Karen head and forcefully hit her on the floor until there was a faint click.
"I heard," she said softly feeling pain of broken nose. Slowly she started to move one of her hands trying to reach the face. Elvira noticed it and with swift movement grabbed her arm.
"I can't hear," she said using his strength twisted the younger woman's arm until rustled in the shoulder joint.
"I heard," replied a little louder, trying not to groan after shoulder dislocation.
"So you will in future behave so irresponsibly?" not letting go of the arm Elvira tightened her grip until bones in the other woman forearm snapped.
"No, Mother," monotone said Karen.
"Good," said Elvira and she let go of her arm. Then without haste pulled out claws and moved her leg. "And now change into something clean and come downstairs in ten minutes. If not..." not finished changing into a cloud of mist that disappeared between the cracks in the floor.
"Ugh," mumbled with pained voice Karen still lying just rolling over on her back. Closing her eyes focused on the using magical energy that began slowly regenerate damage to the hand. Later she took care of wounds in the chest and a broken nose.
At a time when Lilica ended heal wounds and changed clothes servant woke up and give the young white-haired woman a message from her mother. Still a little sleepy she quickly dressed and hurrying went down where already was waiting older cursed.
"Karen still not wake up?" she asked looking at the white-eyed woman.
"She stood up but I had a moment of 'talk' with her," she said on what the younger women only slightly smiled. "But if she don't come so..." interrupted when said person entered the living room and sat down on one of the chairs.
"Why do we own so early wake-up?" asked the white-haired woman.
"I got for both of you a minor job to do," said sounding normal. "This will allow me to also check how well you learned lessons which I given you in last few months."
"So what do we do?" younger woman reached for standing on a nearby table cup.
"On the west coast in one of the fishing villages, local villagers fished out of the water a large block of ice with precious contents inside. I want you both to go there and brought it here," answered her. "Of course you have to do it as soon as possible before the magic council sends their messengers to secure this finding."
"Why do we have to go after it and not a group of servants?" Karen asked until now silently listening.
"Because I say so. Do you want to disobey my orders?"
"I would obey. Only doubt that our presence is needed. You could send another cursed such as Raul," she said.
"He happens to be outside the estate, performing other of my commands. There is currently no other cursed that could go. Enough for you as a reason to send you?" Corona after these words turned to standing servant to 'go' bring daughters traveling coats.
"So why do we both have to go? I'm not going to babysit her," protested the white-haired woman.
"It's not negotiable. However, if you don't want to make it look like anyone care for other I'll add, that the one who will perform better will be rewarded," said Elvira and stood up seeing how into the room came servant. He gave the two young women coats and a small package, for which purpose one of them asked.
"It contains several vials of blood. Just in case as if you were in a situation when you need blood but will not be near any source," replied the blue-woman. "Of course, my teachings should make the return contacting them intact. And now servant wll take you to the room where is the messenger who brought me a message and he'll tell out exactly where you have to go. Fruitful trip."
Taking the package and putting on coats both women went after the butler, who led them to huge man. He had just finished a meal so quickly explained to them where they have to go and escorted them to the exit. Corona stood still for a long time after they left the room and later whole estate before her showed up in the room a short man with black curly hair.
"You called me mylady?" Raul asked what she threw at him mid-sized spherical lacrima.
"Yes. Head after my daughters and make regularly reports on their progress. And don't let them know that they are tracked. Even if they fall into any trouble you not reveal your presence. All clear?"
"As in the darkest night," said Espinosa and taking lacrima left the room. Several minutes later, dressed in a long robe reaching down to the ground left the estate to follow in the same direction as the two young women recently.
For the first two hours, both was moving without exchanging a word between each other. Quite early stopped at the first rest.
"You didn't feed before going out?" with slightly mocking voice said Karen when her companion looked quite pale.
"And what you feed in excess?" she said, noting that the skin still had Lilicy look like it was freshly after a meal.
"No but only my last victim was quite 'nutritious'," she said, smiling at the memory of blue-haired man. But she was feeling as slowly drank blood was beginning to run low and soon she'll also look equally pale.
"Sure," she said, thoughtfully. They were near a village and somewhere in the vicinity heard the people. "I'm going to hunt, wait here," she said just leaving coat and package and then disappeared in a nearby scrubs.
"Maybe I should also look for some food before the dawn," mumbling under the nose of green-haired woman looked up at the sky above her. Located close to her Raul after a moment of thought went trying to be quiet after the white-haired woman.
'So she didn't let go of us alone,' thought Karen, who just in case sharpened her senses and felt around a familiar scent. 'But why conceal it presence before us?' mused while decided not to tell her sister about his presence until she finds it out on her own.
Moving slowly approached the buildings located on the edge around which was moving a few people. Crounching on the border of bushes watching searched for a suitable victim. Minutes passed but none of the people caught her attention and eventually more people started to disappear in nearby houses. When on the farmyard left two or three people slowly got up and came out of the bushes.
"Don't going to bed yet?" asked the man still bustling woman near him.
"Just a little longer. Don't want to leave unfinished work for tomorrow," she replied. Moment he wished her a good night and went to a nearby house, leaving her alone on outside. Pursuing its own work didn't notice the approaching from the direction of the nearby bushes women.
"Beautiful night isn't it," she started on what a woman stopped and looked in her direction. Before surprise gone white-haired woman literally disappeared.
"It seemed to me t...," not finished when she received a powerful blow to the head from behind and the world around went blank. Almost fell to the ground if not for a pair of hands that caught her. Holding her victim looked toward where was Karen.
"Of course not help her own sister," she sighed and she started slowly pull its prey into the bushes not disturbed by anyone.
'It is best meal but I'll be able feast on her a bit,' she thought, pulling a woman between the first on the edge bushes and for a while putting her on the ground. 'I may even spare her life. It is so late and didn't look at someone who would later recalled the night event.'
'I think she found something,' mused Lilica when heard noises coming from the direction where her sister went even though she wasn't intended, however to make even a step. But maybe... move up and take a little bit of captured victim? 'No let her alone benefit from it,' shook her head.
During this time other cursed again started to pull behind her unconscious woman, slowly walking away with her from the buildings.
"And you're nothing but stand," she said, when approaching the green-cursed, which still didn't move. "Or maybe you want use it too even if you no lift a finger?"
"Even so," Karen slowly stood up, "you'd be able to stop me?"
'Do they want to fight now?' Raul thought watching the scene out at the appropriate distance.
"Maybe," white-haired cursed let go held a woman who randomly fell to the ground and made a few steps toward the green haired. "Just try and find out ..."
Lilica slowly made a few steps ahead, seeing the slowly growing nervousness in involuntary movements of the other women. Finally, she stopped and just sighed lightly.
"You're more hungry than I am so weaker. Besides, I a bit longer honed using my magic so do you think you would have a chance to win. I not fall to your plot tonight," she looked in the direction of a lying person who is slightly moved. "You really are weakened when your victim is already beginning to regain consciousness."
"Damn," cursed latter and quickly turned to lying down person. Really seemed to be to coming back to senses so she quickly found herself next to her and grabbing her rolled on her stomach. Then she grabbed both arms and a slightly twisted it back, crossing them on the back of lying woman, whose face was now slightly pressed into the sand side of the road.
"I see that you have the situation under control so I will take a walk. Just make sure to be quiet," said Karen and she started walking slowly approach toward where Espinosa was hidden.
'Had she sensed me?' worried for a moment male cursed and quickly changed the hiding place. After walking away a bit from her sister Lilica stopped and turning continued walk going opossite than Raul. 'I just overreacted,' he noted and went back to watch the white-haired woman.
'So you prefer not to discover your presence,' said with a smile femal cursed mage, feeling as a servant of her mother changed hiding place. Probably now she disappeared partially out of his sight but he probably was more busy watching the other.
Slowly she regained consciousness she felt that she was lying on the ground. 'This is the result of loss of consciousness,' she thought and began attempt to stand up. To her surprise, someone seemed to stick her hands crossed on her back while slightly pressing so that she could not get up.
"So you finally woke up," she heard a woman's voice from somewhere above her. She tried to turn her head to see while talking to the person but did to no anvil.
"If you would be a good girl and don't throw anything too recless nothing will happen to you. If however, you'll struggle, then who knows...," the voice continued. A few times she tried to change the position but it didn't bring any effect so she gave up.
"That's better," said the voice again. "It can hurt you a bit," it said and a moment later she felt mild pain on her neck as if someone had stuck in her teeth.
'Blood mhhmmm,' thought white-haired cursed enjoying the life-giving liquid flowing down her throat. She could feel her strength slowly starting to come back. And the more drunk the more began loosen up its grip on the victim.
At the beginning she felt fear, fear for her life feeling like an unknown woman seemed to be feeding up on her blood, she hardly noticed the handle on her arms slowly loosening up. For a moment she thought whether to use it to try to escape but if for now her mind was too muffled with ongoing events to do anything. Seconds passed, which were long almost an eternity when finally something inside clicked.
"Help, help," yelled while trying with all her might pull out and free herself. Startled, white-haired woman let go of it for a while what used to pick up and attempt to rush blindly ahead.
"Oh, no. You can't do this," she muttered when shake of shook and went after trying to escape her victim. The victim, who again called for help.
"I've got you," she laughed when no more than a few moments later again grabbed her and threw to the ground on what that yelled again asking for help.
"You can scream, there is no one around except you, me and my sister. Pulled you pretty far from even any build so no one can hear you," said white-haired woman.
During this time Lilica after moving away a considerable distance stopped and went a bit of dirt road noticing something lying near.
Ignoring repeated every moment of his victim's screams again sank his fangs into her neck and she started leisurely drink blood.
Elfman was returning from a job to the guild on one of the less frequented roads when out of the darkness of the night he heard something sounding like a cry. Stopping to listen after a while again hear someone call for help. Despite the late hour and giving the signs of fatigue at the crossroads, to whom he approached turned in the direction from where he heard a woman's voice.
'Someone's coming?' Karen turned her head slightly inclined still sitting before something lying on the ground. In the opposite direction than was her sister started to hear footsteps that slowly hastened. 'She could at least silence his prey,' she sighed heavily and slowly stood up.
After another of cries quickened his pace almost started running. Busy trying to reach as soon as possible to the one who cried for help was moving on the way and not paying attention passed by partially hidden in nearby bushes green-haired young woman.
'Fool,' she thought, seeing as the white-haired man crossed the road most clearly too busy with come from nearby screams to pay attention to her. 'Although it's probably worth checking out if she going to need my help.'
When she came out on the road Strauss almost reached the place where there was the other two women. Seeing as the white-haired seemed to lean over the other decided to react somehow grabbing her arm.
Swallowing another sip of blood finally she heard approaching her person. At the beginning for a moment took her for Karen but then someone grabbed and pulled at which responded by releasing its prey. Without a moment's pause turned back and throw a strong punch, that made the person who interrupted her slightly bend.
Using this confusion weakened and somewhat still bleeding woman which white-haired let go slowly stood up.
"Please help me. She... she drank my blood," almost shouted in the direction of Strauss, who straightening up after just recieved blow. When he looked directly at the person who hit him until he opened his eyes in surprise.
"Lisanna?"
Hearing her name Vivaldi briefly stopped.
"Elfman," he muttered absently but quickly shook her head. "You can't be Elfman, whom I knew."
"Is that you?" The white-haired man also stood still not doing any movement. Looking at her he strikingly resembled his dead sister, but something was not right here. Not even that she should be dead but what exactly did when he arrived. During night attacked some innocent person and what did she do? Drank her blood?
"Do you know her?" silence was interrupted by a woman staring at Strauss thus escaped her mind shadow moving between nearby bushes.
"I ..." he began on what Lisanna interrupted.
"I don't know him. Seems like someone I once knew. And moreover who gave you the right to speak up. Foods haven't that right," she said still holding her gaze fixed on the man in front of him.
"You are getting softer sister," after a moment she heard Lilica voice. Looking back over her shoulder she saw green-haired cursed holding firmly weakened by blood loss woman.
"Try to scream or give a voice and I not promising for not doing anything to you," she said in a serious voice and to confirm improved grip, making the kept woman gave a groan.
"Do something with her," said Karen and let go off held woman and then pushed in the direction of Lisanny, which almost instantly appeared in front of her and grabbed.
"I actually don't need you anymore. And I was going to let her go," flatly stated Vivaldi and ran one hand onto back of the head of held woman.
"No," Elfman managed to scream when I saw this move but it was too late. With one smooth movement of the hand Lisanna broke her neck and let go of lifeless body, which with a slight noise fell to the ground.
"Who are you?" mumbled still trying to recover from the shock as the person appearing before his eyes like his dead sister killed in cold blood innocent person.
"Force me to answer," she replied and added, glancing in the direction of Karen. "And you don't help me."
"As if I planned this. If you can't handle it the last two years of mother work was in vain," said quite calmly Lilica. Of course she pondering about ask her sister if that killing of the victim was perhaps hasty movement but since she managed to attract one person leaving her alive was risky. "So I'll stand down here and you take care of that... Elfman or as you call him."
"It's not my brother," clearly upset barked Vivaldi, "but you are my blood sister." Again she turned to look at her but Karen has disappeared somewhere. "Hmpf."
Although he felt a little torn internally, Elfman took a heavy decision that without the use of force will not learn anything. Focusing almost consumed the remnants of magical energy to surround his body with many small flat square tiles, which started to stick gradually disappear revealing his new look. The biggest difference to the previous appearance was a pair of legs covered with chitin sprouting from his back. In the middle they divide in two and each was ended with an average length sharp spike.
"An interesting form. I also can change it," replied unmoved and her body started to cover fragments of chitin armor. She gained near half a meter of height and in many areas of the body grew spikes plus nails turned into claws, and talons. Her face also transformed into hideous shape.
"Have you suddenly lost your will to fight?" taunted him with one hand pulling and bending a few of the fingers made a gesture taunting him to attack first.
At a time when Lisanna and Elfman began to exchange more or less accurate punches, contrpunches and perform dodges Karen slowly started to approach towards the crouching near Raul. Seeing her slowly began to move, trying not to make any unnecessary sound betraying his presence.
"I do sense your presence anyway so you can stop hiding. Want to ask you something," she said, not too loud but enough that he could heard her. She knew that Vivaldi was too busy fighting to heard her or Espinosa.
"If you don't show up when I return I'll ask the mother why were you following us," she added when he still remained in hiding. She stopped and thought for a moment when came up with an idea.
"I remember that some time ago you helped me cover up some minor accident from my mother. Maybe in return as to not mention noticing your presence today and for the rest of my and Lisanna mission you find my debt paid off?"
Male cursed by a long moment mused over her proposal before replied while remaining hidden. "Let it be. And don't forget to find a suitable hiding place."
"Dawn..." she mused and then noticed that they lost too much time in this place. "If the fight doesn't end just now we wouldn't have time to get without losing most of the blood to a scheduled stop for the day."
Turned around and fast walked away. Both mages were still busy fighting so without thinking much instantly appeared behind Elfman and with accurately aimed blow stunned him.
"Why?" Vivaldi still in changed form instantly appeared next to her and grabbed her slightly lifting off the ground. "Interrupting my play."
"We planned to reach picked hiding place before dawn. If you were lost a little more blood we wouldn't make it in time," maintaining peace answered her. "Unless you want to spend a bit of blood supply, which gave you mother..."
"Dawn... yes," slowly began to change the shape and returned to human shape. "Time to go," she said, letting go of Lilica and going towards lying near the stuff.
"Do you even needed to be used a minor form?" she asked when they started moving.
"You seen it. He used transformative magic too. Didn't know thou, that in spite of everything he was quite tired to be able to do something to me," said quite casually Lisanna on what Karen laughed. "What's so funny?"
"The meeting with your brother," replied to her green-haired cursed.
"It's not my brother. He ... he's still in Edolas," said with a slight sadness Lisanna. "Now you are my sister."
