“Because this isn’t our life!” Ava said withfrustration. “We were on top of the world! We had just closed ahuge deal with Macy’s!”
She saw a glimmer in Michelle’s eyes and thenMichelle sank her head in her hands. “I just have such a hard timeremembering anything before this. I do want to get home and haveour old life back. It’s just that I forget. As soon as I eat, all Ican think about is fucking. It consumes me.” She began to cry.“What’s wrong with me Ava?”
“Nothing is wrong,” Ava soothed, rubbingMichelle’s back. She thought for sure that something else was goingon but she had no idea what it could be. Was someone else slippingMichelle other drugs?
“Michelle, is there anything else that youare eating or drinking that other people are not?”
Michelle looked up at her through her wateryeyes. “Like what?”
“I don’t know. Is there anything else youconsume besides the three meals a day?”
“I drink the juice in the morning, buteveryone has one,” she looked at Ava’s confused expression, “don’tthey?”
“What juice?”
“You know, the juice that comes through thebox thingy right before breakfast?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’mnot getting a juice.” Ava sighed in frustration. “But maybe otherwomen are getting juice. My circumstances are different.”
Michelle laughed bitterly. “Yes, you getspecial circumstances since The Overlord has taken to you.”
“Do you think I want that? And how do youknow that I’m not using those circumstances to my advantage?”
Michelle stopped and studied Ava. “Are you?”she asked in a small voice.
“We’ll talk about that in a minute. You needto make sure that you ask other women if they are getting a specialjuice in the morning. If not, then you need to stop drinking itimmediately. That could be what is altering your personality somuch.”
Michelle nodded. “Can you tell me about yourspecial circumstances?”
Ava took a deep breath. “I’m a littlehesitant because you haven’t been yourself. Let’s find out aboutthe juice first.”
The women ate in silence for a fewminutes.
“There is going to be a ball,” Ava toldher.
“Huh?”
“Next week. The women are going to get todress up and we will socialize with the beasts. I’m sure we will befilled with drugs to make it a memorable night.” Ava made a mentalnote to ask Jolie what could be done to stop the aphrodisiac fromtaking over their systems once they ate.
“Really?”
“Yes. The Overlord has given me a sewingmachine and allowed me to make my own dress. I can ask him if I canmake one for you. Would you like that?”
Michelle smiled gratefully. “Oh, Ava, I’dlove that! You know I would.”
The rest of the meal passed quickly as Avaand Michelle fell into their old rhythm. Ava felt alive and almostnormal again without the drugs and spending time with Michelle. Alltoo soon, Ramsey appeared to take the women back to their rooms.Michelle watched Ava move gingerly through the halls but saidnothing.
Once back in her room, Ava began working onher dress. A few hours passed and she had an idea. She suddenlyneeded to speak to The Overlord. She wondered if he would allow herto see him at this hour.
Ava picked up the phone in her room and wasconnected to a smooth female voice. Perhaps another creature ofboth breeds?
“Umm, yes, I know that it is getting late,but I was wondering if I could speak with The Overlord?”
“You would like to speak to him now?”
“Yes, please. If that is possible.”
“Please hold.”
Ava waited patiently for the crisp voice tocome back. “He will see you. Someone will collect you shortly.”
“Thank you so much.”
The line went dead and Ava waited anxiouslyfor someone to fetch her. There was a knock at her door and shepulled it open to see Franco.
“Franco!”
“Good evening, miss. Please follow me.”
Ava thought nothing of his forced formalityand she followed obediently.
“I’m hatching a plan,” she whispered, “Wewill make our move the night of The Monster Ball.”
Franco gave her a small, discreet nod as theyentered the elevator. She quickly came to the correct floor andFranco remained just by the elevator doors. “I’ll be waiting foryou here to escort you back.”
Ava nodded and entered the chambers. She wasnot prepared for what she saw when she entered.
The Overlord was entangled with two women,but they weren’t exactly women. They were the half-breeds thatworked behind the scenes at Valanya. One of the women was bentover, her body folded unnaturally in half, as if she didn’t have aspine. Her skin looked shiny and slippery and her arms and legswere covered with barnacles. She had an exotic looking face andinky black hair, and The Overlord was ramming his cock into herrubbery-looking asshole while spanking her fleshy ass.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, the othercreature seemed to be hovering above The Overlord. She had darkpurple hair and large, feathery wings that sprouted from herhuman-like torso and they beat in the air, keeping her aloft. Sheseemed to be bouncing on top of The Overlord’s head but uponfurther examination, Ava realized she creature was fucking TheOverlord’s horns. She seemed to have two openings between her legsand the distance was just so that she was riding The Overlord’shorns and experiencing a magnificent double penetration, asevidenced by her loud screams.
Ava stood rooted to the ground, she felt likea disgusting intruder but she was unable to move. The sceneunfolding in front of her was something out of a monster porn filmand finally she let out a small cry of horror as she turned on herfeet and ran from the room.
The Overlord heard her and his head snappedup. “Ava!” he cried, disentangling himself from the creatures asthey cried out in protest. Ava didn’t wait and she ran quickly fromthe room and to the elevators where she saw Franco waitingpatiently. He didn’t seem surprised to see her running towards himand he opened the elevator doors for her.
“Ava!” The Overlord bellowed, tearing downthe hall after her. He reached the elevator and grabbed Franco bythe neck, pushing him up the wall.
“Let him go!” Ava screamed but Franco seemedunfazed.
“I said in an hour!” The Overlord screamed asFranco began to cough and turn purple.
“You’re hurting him! Let him go!” Avashrieked.
“I wasn’t told in an hour,” Francosputtered.
“Please! He can’t breathe!”
The Overlord released Franco and he fell tothe floor in a heap, coughing and choking as he caught hisbreath.
“Where is Jolie?” The Overlord shouted. Avashrank back into the elevator. It was bad enough seeing Franconearly choked to death and now she would need to endure whateverhappened to Jolie.
Jolie came calmly down the hallway, hershrewd eyes moving over Franco’s slumped body and Ava’s coweringone.
“Yes, Master?” she asked in a cool and evenvoice.
“Is this your doing?” The Overlordgrowled.
“I am not sure what you mean.”
“I told you to send for Ava in an hour.”
“Yes, sir. But I see that she is herenow.”
“Obviously!” The Overlord screamed, smackingJolie across the face.
“No!” Ava cried out.
Jolie held a hand up to silence Ava and shecradled her sore cheek in her palm. “I’m sorry, Master. I believethat’s what I told Franco.”
