Twist of Fate 7- Father's mischief

Sarevok stared at Jaheira and was struck speechless, he did the only thing he could think of. “Imoen! Get over here!” She came running, not understanding the urgency in his voice.

“What’s up?” She looked back and forth between the two. Had something happened? She had been too busy washing blood off of the half-elf’s clothing to notice their exchange.

“Do you sense any magic, anything out of the ordinary on Jaheira?” He asked. Imoen circled around the woman and nodded her head.

“There’s something dark and cloudy covering her mind.”

“Dark and cloudy? Where do you come up with such things Imoen? I am perfectly fine. Minus my eyes.”

“Is there anything you can do about it?” He ignored Jaheira, knowing that even though Imoen was new to magic, she had the talent. Just like his resistance to all things magical, magic ran in her veins.

“It’s some kind of spell that she has to break, all I can tell you is it has to do with her memory.”

“She doesn’t remember Khalid, I don’t know what to do.”

“But they’ve been together forever! How could she forget?”

“I did not forget something that never was. There simply is no Khalid in my life.” Jaheira stated.

“Jaheira, I want you to think back, what were you doing here at the Friendly Arm Inn?”

“I was waiting for you and Gorion to show up.” She thought for a moment. “That’s when the girl and her entourage came. There was a wizard all in black, a woman wielding a foreign swords and a man almost as tall as you but more lean of frame, younger and paler. The wizard approached me saying that his daughter had taken fire from bandits. The girl had an arrow sticking through her shoulder, her chest plate I later saw had the symbol of Bhaal on it. I realized then that Imoen had attacked her. That’s when she stabbed me and started to remove my eyes. I passed out at some point and the next thing I remember is a softer tone from a different girl, she was the one who pulled me back from death. She said that I would have to suffer for you not seeing her, but she also said I was a gift to you. I don’t understand that part.”

“Why would Anna say you’re a gift?”

“I heard one say that she doesn’t want to hurt you but the other said she did. She wanted you to suffer for never rescuing them.”

“How could I rescue them when I didn’t know Anna was alive and who is this other girl?”

“Hey, I found this lock of hair stuffed inside of Jaheira’s pocket. Maybe we can use this to find her.”

-YES, PLEASE DO DESCRY FOR HER. I’M SURE SHE HAS SUCH PLEASANT SURPRISES SET UP FOR YOU.- Bhaal told Sarevok.

---


Anna sagged against his body, unable to believe what had just transpired between her and the Red Wizard. It had been over an hour since they started and she had expected pain, like always with Reiltar, but there had only been a little stinging. After that she experienced such pleasure, several times. She had never experienced something like that, she didn’t even know what it was, but she knew she wanted more. “What was that?”

“That, my little Bhaalspawn, is what is called an orgasm, something only the erotic onslaught of Edwin Odesseiron can give you.” His hands went over her shoulders, took her face in his hands and kissed her again. He started that rhythm that was becoming oh so familiar again.

-ACK! ANNALESCA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT THING!- Her father’s voice came to her. He seemed aghast at what she was doing.

‘Getting my way to an orgasm, I believe.’ She thought at her father not wanting to disturb Edwin’s pattern or his kiss.

-WELL STOP IT AT ONCE! A YOUNG LADY LIKE YOU SHOULDN’T BE DOING THAT. BESIDES YOU ARE FAR TOO YOUNG TO DO THAT. YOU HAVE TO BE AT LEAST FIFTY BEFORE YOU CAN DO ANYTHING CLOSE TO THAT.-

‘I’ve never felt so good, I don’t want to stop.’

-DID YOU AT LEAST USE PROTECTIVE SPELLS?-

‘What are protective spells?’

-I AM FAR TOO YOUNG TO BE A GRANDFATHER!- Bhaal moaned.

‘Huh? Who said anything about babies?’ Bhaal only groaned. Her thought no longer were with her father as she climaxed again, this time with Edwin. He held her tight, taking care not to touch her back, as she hadn’t healed it. She looked at Edwin and lazily smiled at the look on his face. When he realized she was watching him, he closed down his face, the arrogant mask back in place.

“Well, that was certainly interesting. Tell me how is it after all I’ve been seeing, you are still a virgin?” He asked. Honestly if he wanted to hurt her, that would be the right question to ask. She wondered if he had meant it in a mean way or if he was just curious. She started to recoil from him, moving her body away from his, but a firm hand on her hip kept them most intimately connected. She tried pushing away with both hands, she just didn’t want to be touching anyone, they all got that look on their faces when she told them. Try as she might she couldn’t move. This was ridiculous she was a spawn of Bhaal. She should be stronger than him!

-THAT’S WHAT YOU GET FOR HAVING UNPROTECTED SEX. IT COMPLETELY DRAINS YOU. OF COURSE IF YOU HAD HAD SEX WITH A NICE FEMALE, LIKE I DON’T KNOW, TAMOKO? YOU WOULD FEEL REFRESHED.-

‘So you slept with many men then Father?’

-I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU JUST ASKED ME THAT...-

“You don’t have to look at me when you tell me, if that happens to be the problem. Just stay close. Let me comfort you.” She hid her face against his robes, allowing her body to meld into his.


“I don’t deserve comfort or kindness.” She whispered.

“Why?”

“He takes me as if I were Charon.” Edwin managed to control his face but not his eyes. His eyes were almost aflame with rage. How dare that simian touch her in that way! Reiltar was less than a man, calling him a simian was insulting simians every where. He took a deep breath and tried to think past the hate, that someone had hurt what belonged to him. No, that was the spell talking. She didn’t “belong” to him, at least not yet. Edwin had little, no none, respect to men who abused women, especially in that way. The very fact the man wanted to sleep with his own flesh and blood was sickening but to do it to this girl was horrifying. She was one of the Children, the very essence of death, she should had put him to death long ago.

“Why have you not killed him?” Was a simple question.

“Because I want him to suffer, I want to strip him of everything he cares about before destroying him. I need him alive so me and Charon have something to hid behind for a while.”

“I see. Very wise of you.” He lifted her face and kissed her. He lifted her and sat her back down even closer to him. He was hard again and still inside of her, this close she felt as if they were one person. Her chest pressed to his robe covered one, the tightness of the fabric made it feel almost like touching bare skin. She was small enough that had he had extra joints, he probably would have been able to wrap his arms around her twice. He settled for holding as tight as possible, his hands on her hips, guiding.

“Anna is that you?! What are you doing with that man?!” A male voice came through the air, looking up she could see a small portal above her and Edwin. Edwin looked up, surprised at the voice and stared in the direction it came far. Above them inside the portal was a red faced man and a pink haired girl whom looked slightly younger than the woman in his arms.

‘Father you could have warn me.’

-YES, I COULD HAVE.-

‘So why didn’t you!?’ Anna screamed at him in her mind.

-BECAUSE YOU’RE DOING EXTREMELY NAUGHTY AND SOMEONE SHOULD STRAIGHTEN YOU OUT.- She sighed and pressed closer to Edwin to cover more of herself.

“She is having intercourse, you ridiculous monkey. Or do you not understand what that is? (Maybe he needs a visual education.)”

“I can see that! I wasn’t talking to you!” If Sarevok had hair he would be pulling it at this point. “Anna what are you doing with that man?”

“She’s having sex, Sarrey.” Imoen commented dryly.

“Only I can call him Sarrey you pink haired bitch! He’s my brother! Not yours!” She picked up the discarded dagger and threw it at the portal, which shattered like glass.

---


The spell dissipated, the sight of Anna’s enraged face staring at him stayed with him. No, it hadn’t been him she was looking at but Imoen. He knew that look well enough, she had always been a possessive little child, it looked like time didn’t change anything. He remember well how when other children called him by his nickname how, how could he put it?, she went crazy, she was possessive and jealous of anyone who might take her place. He remembered countless times telling her that he would always be her brother, but she had always replied crying she was too elven to be his sister and not human enough either. Just thinking about that painful sight of her tear full face, he realize that he would never be able to reach her as long as Imoen was playing little sister to him. He knew that Anna would be crying now, and somehow he knew, just knew she would believe that he had found the perfect human sister to replace her.

“Imoen, don’t ever call me Sarrey, ever again. It upset Anna.” Sarevok said solemnly trying to control his anger.

“Well sooorrryy. I can’t help it if your sister is a psychopath.” Imoen replied rolling her eyes. The next thing she knew she was on the ground her face sting. She held her cheek and was ready to glare daggers at Sarevok, but instead found him holding back Jaheira.

“I would measure my words more carefully if I was you. You dare to upset my Sarevok, his sister means the world to him, before you were even born!”

“Have the two of you gone mad? She killed Gorion! She took your eyes!” Imoen said exasperated.

“Anna is not a killer, I refuse to believe that Imoen.”

“And it was a red haired woman who took my eyes.”

“And a red haired woman who kill Gorion. Anna’s hair is black.”

“They both have the same voice though! Can’t you see that they’re the same person?”

“If they were the same person why would Anna try to hide from me?” Sarevok asked her. “You don’t know her.”

-AND NEITHER DO YOU.- A heavy burden on his heart settled there as Bhaal spoke to him. He refused to believe his sister was a killer, or that she was the same person as the red haired woman. It sounded all wrong.

‘Where is she Bhaal?’ Sarevok asked of his father.

-YES LIKE I WOULD TELL YOU. SHE JUST WANTS YOU TO FOLLOW HER PATH.-

‘How do I know her path?’

-FOLLOW THE PATH OF PAIN. IT IS ONE YOU WILL NEVER BE FAMILIAR WITH. YOU SHOULD HAVE ASKED ME YEARS AGO, SHE COULD HAVE BEEN SPARED.- Bhaal voice was filled with regret.

‘You could have told me!’

-BUT YOU NEVER ASKED, YOU FORGOT ABOUT HER.- That was it in a nutshell, he had forgotten about her and now everyone would pay for it.

“Let’s head out of here, we can’t be caught by the Flaming Fist.”

“Where to?”

“South, Gorion had mentioned something about heading to the mines.” He put his arm around Jaheira and started to lead her away, while Imoen was still sitting in the dirt. She glared at the two of them and picked herself up. How could the two of them so easily believe a lie? She had heard the woman in the armor yell at her about having pink hair and she had seen no black haired woman like the one in the scrying, then Anna had yelled at her calling her a pink haired bitch. It was the same voice, hence it had to be the same person. Right? She would keep her thoughts to herself, for now at least.

-YOU COULD ALWAYS TALK TO ME, MY CHILD.- A familiar voice came to her.

“Who’s there?”

-DO NOT WORRY ABOUT WHO I AM. ONLY KNOW THAT I AM HERE FOR YOU. I WILL PROTECT YOU. DO NOT TELL SAREVOK OR JAHEIRA ABOUT ME NEITHER, THEY WILL, IN YOUR WORDS, FLIP OUT.-

“I’m going insane, aren’t it?”

-HARDLY. WOULD YOU CARE TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR MOTHER?-

“Sure.” Imoen picked herself up and slowly followed her friends, giggling as the mysterious voice told her about her mother, who apparently was as much as goof as her. It was nice to have someone to talk to, someone who understood her and didn’t think she was silly. She liked it. She was sooo not telling anyone.

“There’s something dark and cloudy covering her mind.”

“Dark and cloudy? Where do you come up with such things Imoen? I am perfectly fine. Minus my eyes.”

Trust Jaheira to manage to keep her head cool even under these circumstances. *hugs Jaheira*

“But they’ve been together forever! How could she forget?”

“I did not forget something that never was. There simply is no Khalid in my life.” Jaheira stated.

And this is utterly disturbing! Well written, it's not that easy to creep me out.

Oh, gooooo Eddie!

-ACK! ANNALESCA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT THING!- Her father’s voice came to her. He seemed aghast at what she was doing.

‘Getting my way to an orgasm, I believe.’ She thought at her father not wanting to disturb Edwin’s pattern or his kiss.

Love her comeback.

-WELL STOP IT AT ONCE! A YOUNG LADY LIKE YOU SHOULDN’T BE DOING THAT. BESIDES YOU ARE FAR TOO YOUNG TO DO THAT. YOU HAVE TO BE AT LEAST FIFTY BEFORE YOU CAN DO ANYTHING CLOSE TO THAT.-

‘I’ve never felt so good, I don’t want to stop.’

-DID YOU AT LEAST USE PROTECTIVE SPELLS?-

*snicker* Bhaal as the overprotective father is very funny.

-THAT’S WHAT YOU GET FOR HAVING UNPROTECTED SEX. IT COMPLETELY DRAINS YOU. OF COURSE IF YOU HAD HAD SEX WITH A NICE FEMALE, LIKE I DON’T KNOW, TAMOKO? YOU WOULD FEEL REFRESHED.-

‘So you slept with many men then Father?’

“He takes me as if I were Charon.” Edwin managed to control his face but not his eyes. His eyes were almost aflame with rage. How dare that simian touch her in that way! Reiltar was less than a man, calling him a simian was insulting simians every where. He took a deep breath and tried to think past the hate, that someone had hurt what belonged to him. No, that was the spell talking. She didn’t “belong” to him, at least not yet. Edwin had little, no none, respect to men who abused women, especially in that way. The very fact the man wanted to sleep with his own flesh and blood was sickening but to do it to this girl was horrifying. She was one of the Children, the very essence of death, she should had put him to death long ago.

Poor Anna. I look forward to seeing her take Reiltar out.

“She is having intercourse, you ridiculous monkey. Or do you not understand what that is? (Maybe he needs a visual education.)”

“I can see that! I wasn’t talking to you!” If Sarevok had hair he would be pulling it at this point. “Anna what are you doing with that man?”

Doh Sarry.

“Sure.” Imoen picked herself up and slowly followed her friends, giggling as the mysterious voice told her about her mother, who apparently was as much as goof as her. It was nice to have someone to talk to, someone who understood her and didn’t think she was silly. She liked it. She was sooo not telling anyone.

And that could be a very bad mistake.

Very much enjoying this story, lots of angsty goodness!

“There’s something dark and cloudy covering her mind.”

“Dark and cloudy? Where do you come up with such things Imoen? I am perfectly fine. Minus my eyes.”

Trust Jaheira to manage to keep her head cool even under these circumstances. *hugs Jaheira*

Jaheira: Child, quit that. I am in no need of hugging.

“But they’ve been together forever! How could she forget?”

“I did not forget something that never was. There simply is no Khalid in my life.” Jaheira stated.

And this is utterly disturbing! Well written, it's not that easy to creep me out.

Thank you!

‘Getting my way to an orgasm, I believe.’ She thought at her father not wanting to disturb Edwin’s pattern or his kiss.

Hopefully she won't be killed before then.

Hmm. I've never been a great fan of sex scenes, to tell the truth. I'm one of that peculiar breed of prudes who are all for graphic violence, but prefer the screen to fade-out, fade-in for sex.

That said, I like Jaheira's cool denial of Khalid's existence. It's so absolute, so complete... It's great! As is Imoen's final chat with Bhaal:

She was sooo not telling anyone.

Also... intrigued by the plot proposal, I tried to find the previous chapters of the story. I found chapters 3-6, but not chapters 1 and 2? (The search I did was on Twist and Fate.) Any tips?

Edit: And, of course, I forgot to add: More, please?

No if Jaheira had been married to Jan, she'd never forget that.
