Seduction Over Detroit - (5)

We seperated from our embrace as we stepped out of the teleportation circle. Surprisingly Chloe was already there with a few different magical texts open on the table in front of her. I noticed she had moved the fruit bowl closer to her work area so she could eat and read at the same time. She looked up and threw an acid bolt at me. Instinctively I raised a shield and even managed to toss a rebound incantation in before it struck. The bolt bounced off my shield and headed straight back at her. She got a shield up and it not only splashed harmlessly, it almost looked like the magic strengthened the shield.

Xandra crouched down down and moved off to the left of the young girl. Chloe dropped her shield for a split second to launch a stasis bolt at the red head. Seeing the shield down I tried to send out a soul siphon tendril but she got the shield back up. Dancing around the poorly aimed bolt Xandra ended up right behind the necro. Xandra launched herself at the unprotected back of the young girl while I shot a thin beam of focused fire from my finger and targeted the shield. Chloe then did something I had never conceived of. Her shield expanded out hitting Xandra mid air and throwing her back into a couch. Of course as it expanded it thinned and the laserfire I was throwing out got through. It wasn't very hot by the time I got through the shield but it did make her stop for a second. Piggy backing on the laser I sent a soul siphon tendril. It made contact just as her shield closed but I was able to strengthen it so it wouldn't get cut off. She knew something was wrong when her power started draining.

"Okay pup, playtime is over. Drop your shield or I go looking for a new apprentice." As I said this I tugged a bit of her power through the tendril.

She dropped her shield and looked at me sheepishly. I formed a fist of air and sent it right into her gut. As she doubled over I summoned a globe of water over her face for an instant. As she breathed in she started coughing. Another gentle push of air sat her down on the couch as I went over to check on Xandra. She was sitting on one of the couches with her legs crossed and a very pissed off look on her pretty face.

"As an interplanar I should have gone right through her shield. You know that!" she spat

"Hell beautiful, I have never seen someone turn a shield offensive that quick. I don't think she left off the defensive capabilities. The only thing I can think is that she was powering it with spirit. But even then to wield her spirit magic and regular magic simultaneously ... " I left it hanging as the implications were too much for me to consider. A freaking Archmage Necromancer? As I heard Chloe starting to catch her breath I sent two more fists of air into her gut. It was time to start training.

I felt Xandra rise behind me as we walked over to our diminutive assailant. I looked down as she was trying to catch her breath.

"Explain!" I ordered.

"Had... wheeze ... to see... cough ... if you were really that ...UGH ... good." she managed to get out.

"Do you realize how fucked up that logic is? What would be your baseline as to how good I am?" I asked.

"I kill people. I hate it but I have killed almost everyone I have come across for the last two months." She had caught her breath and now looked equal parts terrified and angry.

What the hell? I sat down next to her and looked her in the eyes.

"It is time to hear your story"

================

She grabbed an orange from the fruit basket and bit into it to start a hole that she could peel from. As she talked she seemed engrossed on taking the skin off of the fruit.

"My parents both worked at Chrysler before the recession. That is where they met and they joked that they had a blue collar romance. I remember early on we had pretty much everything we could ask for. To make a long story short. Both lost their jobs, both contracted cancer, and both died within weeks of each other. We lived with my uncle but he was having his own issues. I told a school teacher that my cousin was perving on me and they called in child protective services. They investigated and found that he had been molesting his kid sister so we got kicked into the system. We were able to stay together at one house for a long time. The place was clean and the foster mother was nice enough. When she got custody of her own grandkid someone had to move out. Since I was seventeen I left so my brothers could stick together. I got placed with a serious perv couple. The night I turned eighteen I was sleeping and the guy busts into my room high as a kite and drags me downstairs. Two of his friends and the landlord were down there. To make a short story even shorter they each took turns in my mouth and pussy. I was a virgin up to that point and they kept loving the fact that they got a "cherry bitch". I tried to bite down and took a hard shot to the jaw."

She finished peeling the fruit. She looked at it a second then started eating. She continued talking around pieces of orange.

"The guys wife was in the corner apologizing and crying. When the landlord went to put it in my ass something snapped. I woke up and everyone in the room was dead. Even the wife, and she hadn't touched me. And I had POWER. I don't know what it was but I was able to stop the bleeding from my pussy and mouth and instantly heal the aches from the punches and slaps. I went and took a shower, grabbed a backpack of clothes and searched the bodies. I got 400 bucks cash off everyone and took the wedding rings from the pervs. I grabbed the landlords keys and raided his apartment to the tune of 1200 bucks plus a pound of marijuana and a ziplock bag that I assume was coke. It also looked like he was stealing from his tenants because there was a lot of mismatched jewelry I found on his nightstand. I took that also.I decided to drop the drugs off in the pervs apartment. I was thinking if the cops came and saw drugs they wouldn't look much further.
