Ink Stained Reunion
Chapter 4: Ice, Gold, and Action
Aurora groaned from under Kelly at the same moment the door opened. Her mind tuned the women out as soon as she identified them as school guards. The only thing she needed to know was they were in charge. If a girl needed a visit to the doctor or to Miss Cotton, the guards came.
If they’re coming for me I’ll go with them. Maybe I’ll get to meet Miss Cotton. Maybe I’ll get to see the doctor again. Doctor Lys is so pretty and so smart. I’d like that, but until they need me, Kelly’s tongue feels so good!
The bunkmates had long since rolled off the couch and onto the floor. Kelly was between Aurora’s legs, face slick with lust. She’d glanced away from Aurora’s sex only long enough to identify the guards before going right back to what she was doing. If they needed her, they knew they could take her. She remembered trying to resist as though it was a lifetime ago. Maybe the needle had hurt, but then the world became such a bright pretty place.
Neither of the girls minded when the guards stepped in and closed the door behind them. “They really don’t seem to care that we’re here. Hopefully this keeps up. I’m not really excited by the thought of confrontation, as fun as that might be. Wow. I almost feel like I shouldn’t be watching this, but it feels like it would be wrong not to.”
Professor Gold watched as Aurora’s hips bucked with each flick of Kelly’s tongue, suckle of her lips, or movement of her fingers. She only met the heroine once, and that memory didn’t match what she was seeing.
Kelly’s rainbow hair cascaded over Aurora’s thighs, blocking most of her face from view as she lost herself in the moment’s passion. Don’t think I ever did this before, not with a woman, but I love it! I love the way she tastes. I love the way she moans. She’s such a good student, and I can taste it. I can feel it overwhelming me, overtaking me, tugging me along like a leash around my neck. I’ve never been so turned on before, and I never want it to stop!
Aurora screamed, arching harder like a flash of blinding light as her body flashed metal before melting back to flesh. Mourning Frost trembled and clenched her hands into tight fists. Similar memories of Olivia flooded her mind, flashes of golden curves and golden lips open in a wide “o” of pleasure.
“Probably best not to get too distracted. Besides, you have some alchemy to do.” Mourning Frost frowned as she saw the red light of the camera in the corner of the room, extending her hand towards it. A loud crystalline sound filled the room and covered the camera in a solid layer of ice. “They know a couple of guards are somewhere they aren’t supposed to be. Ice may be notorious for slowing things down, but I think speed might be a better idea.”
“Right, right!” Professor Gold shook her head as though to pull free of the sight that occupied her mind. “Sounds good to me. This’ll only work if her gold is as tied in to her mind as you said it was. If not, either she won’t be able to use it, or she won’t be able to turn it off. There are probably other possibilities but—”
Mourning Frost narrowed her eyes and Professor Gold quieted. She reached inside her uniform, pulling out a small glass vial. It was decorated with red runes and filled with a black fluid. When the redheaded professor pulled the stopper from the vial, a thick earthy scent of rocks and metal filled the small room. She dipped a pale finger into the mixture and knelt down beside Aurora.
Unconcerned with the crisply dressed women, Aurora moaned louder as Kelly thrust her fingers deep within her dripping pussy. Neither of the school girls reacted as the professor slowly drew a sigil in the center of Aurora’s forehead using her blackened finger.
The symbol was an empty circle with a smaller circle inside of it. As soon as it was completed, Professor Gold stood and whimpered. “Nothing’s happening. Usually there’s a faster reaction. Maybe her alloy would have required a different remedy. She really doesn’t turn gold, it’s more of an electrum. I don’t know what I’d mix in to make it work in that case but—”
“Her metal is gold, just like her mother’s silver skin is flesh. She is an alloy, but not in the metallic sense. Give it a minute. Olivia’s gold had a flare for the dramatic.” Mourning Frost grinned as the black mixture began to melt through Aurora’s skin. Brown eyes opened wide in alarm before the sheen of metal returned. The metal spread slowly over her body, shimmering first across her face, then down her neck, and over her body until the tips of her toes shined with pale amber metal.
Kelly mewled in response, but didn’t cease her passionate assaults on Aurora’s body. The heroine’s eyes grew wider as her lips moved both in a moan and a struggle to find words. Confusion screamed loudly in her eyes as she trembled in pleasure.
“I can remember . . . MmmmMmmmm . . . two sets of memories, and one is so full of holes . . . ooOoh! S-sorry Kelly, I’ll make it up to you, I promise-nn!” A shudder tore through the metal woman as Kelly’s fingers renewed their motions harder at the guess that her metal body could take it. Aurora trapped the woman’s hand between her legs and closed her eyes tight as she made her sex unleash as much of her current as she could.
Rainbow hair flew into the air gorgeously as Kelly rose up and then fell onto her back. Aurora shuddered and pressed her legs together as she wrapped her arms around her chest. She thought she might recognize one of the women staring down at her, but she couldn’t quite place from where.
Aurora blinked as she felt her metal slowly withdrawing back inside of herself. She narrowed her eyes as she tried to focus on keeping it out, making it cover her, making it protect her, but it didn’t even slow its withdrawal.
Tears welled up in Aurora’s eyes as she squeezed her arms a little tighter around herself. “Okay. This is kind of scary. I can remember two childhoods to some extent, two lives, I can remember being quite thoroughly brainwashed, betrayed by my lover, my metal is going away on its own, and two women I’ve never seen before are standing over me staring down at me like some kind of cat they just pulled out of a swimming pool. You could at least tell me your names.”
“Our names really aren’t important right now, Aurora. What’s important is getting out of here before they come for us. I know you need some time to recover, and I’m more than happy to help with that, but . . .” As if cued by her voice the door began to open only to be sealed in place with a thick layer of ice from a quickly aimed finger. “Well, we’re guests. You’re invited, we’re not. The people aren’t exactly very nice.”
“Sorry, Electrum . . . You saved my life, I came to help you. I guess I don’t need this anymore.” Professor Gold frowned as she wiggled her way out of the guard’s uniform. Tightly tucked beneath was her sleeveless lab coat and all of her golden bracelets. “Professor Gold at your service. Probably the only time I’ll do anything so front-lines.”
Aurora didn’t react much at all. She nodded to everything the two women said, but her mind was elsewhere. Her metal was inside of her, but she couldn’t pull it out. Rebeca’s betrayal stung deeper than Tunnel’s.
Mourning Frost sighed as she reached out both of her hands towards the ceiling. Snowflakes formed in the space between before a sheet of ice formed directly above the icy super. A pale hand reached up and with a dramatic finger snap the ice cracked open. “Professor, do you think that you could do anything with the door? My ice won’t keep them for long. They probably have a flaming girl somewhere in here.”
Professor Gold nodded as she grabbed another vial filled with dirt from her lab coat. On the center of the door she drew a trapezoid with a ray splitting it in half. A mere moment later rock began to form over the door before it fused with the wall as a solid stone. “Done. That should help for a couple of minutes.”
“You might want to put on some clothes, Aurora. We’re about to make a very quick exit.” Mourning Frost bit her lip and hesitated. The look in Aurora’s eyes stung right to the core. It reminded her of the look Olivia had given her when she’d frozen her to the wall at the Clearview Institute in Midas City. “Damnit, now isn’t the time to go slow! We have to get the hell out of here! Professor, grab the leprechaun bait, we need to get out of here now.”
Smiling weakly, Professor Gold lifted Prism from the floor and held the woman lightly in her arms before stepping closer to Mourning Frost. “Sounds good to me, Frosty. Sorry I can’t help get us there faster.”
“You’ve done plenty. Don’t worry about it.” Mourning Frost lowered a hand towards the floor and formed an icy disk beneath the professor, Aurora, and herself that moved amazingly quick. It cleared the hole just as the stone door fell loose, and another coating of ice shattered the ceiling of the second floor, and the roof, exposing the four rising woman to the glittering night sky. The starlight was dim, but with help from the moon it revealed the desert nowhere land around the compound.
The Ice platform quickly descended and the professor pulled a small pouch from her cleavage and threw it to the ground. A station wagon appeared as glittering dust removed the enchantments that had kept it hidden.
Aurora moved into the backseat. She felt no reason to move but even less to stay standing on melting ice that would soon turn to mud. The inside of the car was warmer even if it felt like the heater was broken. She was quickly joined by Kelly’s unconscious body set beside her and belted into place before the car began to move.
“That symbol, the one you put onto her forehead . . . That was the symbol for gold, wasn’t it?” Aurora listened to the ice-woman speak. She knew she’d heard of someone with white hair and natural blue tips, but the name was escaping her. It was hard to be sure if she should focus on them or on the rift inside of herself.
“Yup. It can also be used to represent the sun. It’s a little too late at night to be teaching you alchemy.”
Brown eyes narrowed in the dark. Aurora worried her intuition might be haywire. Everything felt so insane since Tunnel’s big reveal.
She felt as clearheaded as the day before she left Midas. It was overwhelming to realize she’d been lost to herself for so long, but her family’s history of such things made it easier to swallow. It didn’t feel as impossible as she wanted it to.
“The stuff you smeared it with, that was lead, wasn’t it?”
“Alchemy is full of amazingly bad puns. If there is a creator, then she has one wicked sense of humor.”
“Atheist alchemist. I never would have thought.” Mourning Frost smirked as the car bounced through the desert. No one followed behind even as the icy super watched the rear view mirror like a hawk. “Aurora? I’m Mourning Frost, I knew your mo—”
“—I know. You knew Olivia. She loved you. Then you were one of the last people to see her alive.” Aurora’s voice was cold and monotone. “Auntie Julia told me about you. She told me how close you two used to be until you snapped. She said it broke Olivia’s heart, but she just couldn’t condone what you’d become. She said a lot more, but I’m thankful you saved me from that place, so I won’t say it. I don’t know why you did that.”
Silence filled the car as the professor drove faster. There was already a fair amount of ground between them and the compound, but none of them knew how much that would matter. Not a one of them had good reason to believe distance was an issue for the project.
Professor Gold sighed and adjusted the rear view mirror to get a look at Aurora.. “The woman you’re talking to did just risk everything to save you. You should be more than just a little thankful.
Aurora met her eyes in the mirror and started to sniffle as tears fell down her face. She opened her mouth to say something and quickly found that nothing would come. There was so much she wanted to say, about how she was being vindictive because she envied those last moments, about how she was torn between being two women, or how she hadn’t slept . . . That she’d believed it was morning when really she’d only been allowed to sleep for fifteen minutes so she could wake up and fuck her roommate.
Instead she nuzzled into the restrained Kelly and kissed her cheek. It made her feel better. It also made it easier to push the false memories aside, and that made her smile. She knew almost anything about the girl, besides that she was both Prism and Kelly. Beyond that, all she knew was that she was an excellent lover.
She knew there would be time for apologies later. In that moment, she wrapped her arms around Kelly, nuzzled into her shoulder, and closed her eyes.
Everything’ll be okay Kelly . . . after we get a little nap . . .
