Awakening Pt. 06

******

The rest of our morning/early-afternoon was uneventful. Victoria and myself simply talking about everything we had learned so far. Figuring out things we should do to prepare. Vicky, despite not having my power, wanted to learn how to fight too. She made me promise to teach her what I was taught. I agreed, even though a part of me wanted to tell her no. Wanted to protect her. If I would have to fight, I wouldn't want Vicky caught in the middle of things.

We were currently sitting in a diner at the edge of town, waiting for Lazuli to meet with us, talking about nothing of importance, bitching about our class-work. You know... normal college student conversations. Which was a pleasant change of pace. We were sitting across from each other, our fingers entwined with each other resting on top of the table.

The wait wasn't long before Victoria smiled at someone coming thru the door, my back was to the door so I couldn't see, but I recognized her voice as I felt her magic rub against mine.

"Good day, lovebirds." Lazuli said, sitting next to me forcing me to scoot towards the wall. I didn't mind at all, her body was gorgeous.

I had described Lazuli as an Indian Princess the night before, and it held true even with clothing covering her body. She wore a long black skirt that went to her ankles, and a tight white t-shirt with some design and language I wasn't familiar with. I guessed it was Hindi considering the design was vaguely Indian in nature. Her long brown wavy hair was pulled back into a messy ponytail. She was beautiful. With a tight body trained for years as a dancer, she worked as a stripper at a club in the big city.

She was also a sorceress of lust, like myself, and as she sat next to me I felt the connection between us. Like long lost friends reuniting after a long time. It was pleasant, and comfortable. I felt her lips on my cheek as she greeted us. We reintroduced ourselves now that we were outside of her work. Apparently, Lazuli was her real name. It was some type of precious gemstone. After that we ordered food and started talking.

"So, Amellia." Lazuli said, turning her body to look at me. "Last night was amazing!" She said happily. "Did you two have fun when you got home." I must have blushed, because she giggled softly. "I want to thank you Victoria, for sharing this beautifully erotic woman with me." Lazuli said, turning towards Victoria. She meant it too, I could hear it in her voice, apparently, and Vicky did as well because she smiled.

"It was my pleasure..." Victoria responded, giving Lazuli a playful wink. "Any time you want."

The two smiled and talked about small things, learning from each other. I was practically ignored, which was fine by me. Lazuli knew more about our relationship than our college friends did. Hell, our college friends didn't know we were sleeping together - though I was sure my roommate had an inkling of a clue. Lazuli knew that to get back with me, she'd have to go through Victoria, though they were hitting it off - it sounded like they were planning a date with the three of us.

We ate in pleasant company, enjoying the time together, cracking jokes, and talking. I was included in the conversation after a while.

"So, I wanted to talk to you Amellia." Lazuli said when we were finishing up. "I was contacted by a Council Representative." She said, lowering her voice to a bare whisper. Victoria leaned forward over the table so she could hear. "You are familiar with the Council?"

"We've heard of them." I responded, getting very interested.

"Good... Well, this representative was an enforcer," I nodded at her telling her I knew of them with the movement so she continued, "he warned me to stay away from a new Lust Sorceress. That if I were to meet one who was newly awakened to contact the Council immediately with a description and location."

I blinked at her, suddenly growing very tense. Two possibilities went through my mind then. The first, she was telling me as a warning, but her act of telling me was to assure me that she wasn't going to do that. That she would be a friend and ally depending on what happened. The second possibility was that this was a ruse, a lie to get me in a position surrounded by mundane humans so that the Council could get their hands on me. Then a third popped into my head. What if they knew I had already met Lazuli, what if they had told her that to get her to come to me - and followed her here.

Apparently, my thoughts were written on my face.

"Amellia..." Lazuli said after a second, looking concerned. "I didn't tell them. I simply said I'd watch out for you." I looked deep into her brown eyes, looking for signs of lying. I could find any.

"I believe her, love." Came Vicky's voice. She was staring at me with concern, making sure whatever happened earlier wasn't going to again. I nodded to her, telling her I was okay, and I was controlling my anger.

"So do I." I said to Vicky, but looking at Lazuli. "Thank you."

She smiled and kissed my lips. "Of course, I can't have them taking away such an interesting new play-mate after just meeting her, after all. Besides, I've been dealing with the council for fifty years now."

Both Victoria and myself were startled at that. "F-Fifty years?" I asked staring at her. Her perfect skin, no wrinkling around her face, no outward signs that this woman was over fifty years old. She laughed.

"Oh, one of the perks about being a lust-witch." She said taking a sip from her soda. "Magical beings live a long time, anyways. But most sins show that age for the most part, they age slower, but it's still there. Lust Sorcerers can hide that age, since a good portion of our magic need to come from someone being aroused. There are tricks that are ingrained into our magic that keep us looking young. The oldest sorcerer of lust I ever met was three hundred years old. He looked barely 18." She winked at me and kissed my lips again.

That was news. Three-hundred-year-old human. And she said it like that was normal, just the oldest she had met. "Pet, how old can we live up to?" I asked, keeping it in my head but aiming it towards that probing feeling.

"The oldest human sorcerer to have lived was over a millennium." Came the reply quickly, she was keeping a close eye on her mistress.

"I just wanted to warn you that the council is looking for you. They took Ricky in to talk to him, but he only warned them of your power from what I've heard. Apparently, you made an impression on him that is keeping his mouth shut." Lazuli said with a wink. "But, I must get going, I have work in a few hours."

As she stood up I reached out with my hand and gripped her wrist gently. "Hey, I was wondering if I could talk to you about your work." I said suddenly. After last night, being in that club feeding off the onlookers. "It is a buffet for us, isn't it?" She nodded and smiled.

"I'll ask my boss if we have any openings." She said with a wink before giving us a friendly wave and heading out.

"So, you want to be a stripper?" Victoria asked, I turned and looked and she was grinning.

"For the moment... You have no idea what it was like in there for me."

She chuckled at that and grabbed my hand, squeezing it gently. "I have a small idea. People were jealous of me being with you, touching you. It was... Intoxicating to say the least. All that jealousy around there... I approve of it." She said kissing my fingers. "I have a feeling you'll need the power."

The rest of the day was more or less uneventful. We were both exhausted from the night before, so we kept it chilled. We went to the park after we ate, of course Vicky paid. You know, doing couple things. The night was the same. Vicky told me later she wanted nothing to but to ride me into oblivion again, but she was hurting from the night before. Thinking that taking a break for the day was the best.

Cuddling up on the couch with her and watching scary movies, the rest of the problems seemed to melt away.
