I pretended to pout, but I agreed with her. That handjob took a lot out of me surprisingly.
Once in bed, we cuddled up together and I could feel the tension relax, especially from Becca. I missed having her next to me. I fell asleep immediately as we spooned.
I don't know how long I had been asleep, but then I started dreaming of that night. Just images, nothing "solid". All I could make out were a pair of dark purple eyes amidst the darkness that enveloped me. I got the sense it tried to pull me into it, but I was able to slip its grasp. The anklet, it burned the darkness. It receded as if acid was thrown on it, but not before it slammed into my souls like a freight train. It nearly ripped them apart, which is why I nearly died. If not for the anklet, I have no idea what would have happened to me. I sensed that I could still feel it...
I woke up with a start, gasping for breath. Light was streaming in the through the curtains and I noticed that Becca wasn't beside me. I was about to call out to her, but then the sheen hit. Not exactly red, but somewhat muted pink. I then saw both Piper and the Crone. Fuck, now what?
"Now we have a talk," the Crone said. "Based on the dream you just had, it's obvious that this Evil presence may still have its tendrils in you, albeit rather weakly."
Oh you've got to be fucking kidding me.
Piper said, "No, have you ever know either of us to 'kid'?"
I finally spoke aloud and said, "No, you're both tight ass bitches who decided to fucking play with my life and everyone in my life as well! And don't give me that bullshit about the needs of the many. Fuck that."
Crossing her arms and giving me a death stare, Piper said, "Manners, futa girl. So we lied. Oh boo-fucking-hoo. Your hurt feelings don't matter in the grand scheme of things, what matters is you do your damn job and be the bait. If you're taken, all of creation is lost. The Ancients made the decision to make their stand right here and you need to play your part. We all do."
Dammit. I know she's right, but it's still all fucked up.
The Crone said, "What Piper tried to say, so indelicately, is you're far more important than you realize. I only told you enough the other night to answer your pressing questions, only what you needed to know. I...I cannot tell you any more than what you already know. The Ancients' plans are not entirely known to me, but they do have one. You're part of it. As is Piper. As am I. And as is Angela."
All of a sudden there was a small golden flash and there stood Angela. I never thought I'd see her again, but there she stood.
"Hi, Ellie."
"Um, hi?"
"I know you have more questions," said the Crone, "but all you need to know is that Angela is here to watch over your family. Piper is watching you and only you. This comes from the Ancients. That's all there is to it."
Piper and Angela looked at the Crone as if she just ate bunch of shit. Something's not right here and they know it. And I remembered Piper's comment.
I said, "Wait, wait! What the fuck is really going on here??? I'm tired of this shit. I'm tired of just blindly following these Ancients and I am not going to do it anymore. This is just too fucked up. End of the universes? Good vs. evil? Seriously? Why I need to fight this fucking battle?? What makes me so Goddamn special in all of this?? What is it with these two souls??"
All three ladies looked at one another, none willing to talk. I gave Piper a look and she then knew that I knew that I caught her comment. Shrugging, Piper gave the Crone a "well, go ahead and tell her" look.
"Fine," the Crone said, "you were not supposed to know any of this, all you were supposed to be told is what I mentioned to you last week, but it appears you're more perceptive than we gave you credit for as it appears that someone said something they shouldn't have said. The two souls that have been merged, Roger's and Ellie's, are the oldest souls in all of the universes. The two original beings that were created by the Ancients. Prior to their creation, this world was inhabited by just animals and humanoid creatures. Creatures with no souls. Nothing that they created."
Oh. Fuck.
"You mean, I... we... us...?"
"Yes, those two. The Ancients based them on the humanoids already on Earth, but advanced their evolution. For some unknown reason, they wanted their own humans. A Garden was created amidst the chaos so that they may live out their lives, but they disliked it. Regardless of what you've read, it had absolutely nothing to do with a snake or an apple or anything like that. The Garden was essentially a prison and they wanted freedom, so they fought long and hard for it before they were finally able to escape after decades of trying. Once out, they began to intermingle with the natives. The more they did so, the more offspring they produced. Offspring that had souls. The divine plan was now torn asunder. 2 souls became many on this world. That's not what they wanted. So the Ancients abandoned it and tried again with another universe, and another, and another, ad infinitum. At some point they realized it was futile and ceased creating. They realized that creatures with souls were far too unpredictable."
My mind was reeling. I was about to say something, but the Crone stopped me.
"Wait. Now all souls are not created equally. Some come back, you call it reincarnation, some do not. Some souls possess great powers, some are just average, and there are some souls that are essentially there for one lifetime and that's it. Anyway, once the Ancients realized they had lost control, we were created. We were tasked to maintain the control as best as possible. They washed their hands of everything and left us to our own devices basically. To them, all souls are precious, regardless of how they're created now. They just didn't want to deal with the mess. As for the Ancients themselves, no one has ever seen them. I know they're there, because I'm one of the few who has a direct link to them."
"Can I talk now?"
The Crone nodded.
"So all of this, everything, the world, the universe, it was just a grand... experiment for them to play with?!?"
"Almost. They got bored, so they wanted to add to the world their own creations. Until then, they had ignored everything that was going on. The world as you know it was a product of evolution, until they got their ethereal hands on it. As I said, they didn't create this world or any world, they only added a couple of human bodies to the planet."
"So evolution is real, but so is the Bible?"
The Crone chuckled dryly and said, "Not quite, no. The Bible is mostly pure fiction with bits and pieces of accuracy mixed in. There is no singular God, there are only the Ancients. I have no idea how many there are, but they're a microsecond younger than all of creation, which you call the Big Bang. By the way, there was no 'bang'. One moment there was nothing, the next there was something. Not even the Ancients know what came before them."
Piper then chimed in, "Look futa girl, it's simple. You’re housing the first 2 souls, you're together again since you both died the first time, the Ancients have placed you here to save everyone. They're willing to destroy their first creations to save everything. Got it? Now do you need any more explanations or are you still addle-brained?"
I looked at Piper and took a step towards her in anger. I felt a hand on my shoulder, and it was Angela.
"Please. Don't. I know you're angry, but this was a desperation move by the Ancients in order to save everything. I'm sorry for ever lying to you, Ellie," Angela said. "Don't forget, I was lied to as well. No matter what you may think of any of us here, we need you, the Ancients need you. Without you, there's nothing."
I looked at Angela and I could see she was sincere. I pulled her into me and gave her a hug. I could hear her crying softly as I held her. I truly missed her.
Releasing her, I said, "All right. Some of that makes sense, as crazy as it sounds, but it's time to do things a little differently. No more playing defense, it's time for some offense. I'm not going to wait idly by and hope. What do I do to force this Evil to make a move?"
"Now this is something I can get behind! It's sex. Lots and lots of sex," Piper said. "And not just with your family and loved ones, but with us as well. Yeah, I'm not fond of that idea either... But with you, sex is a powerful magic. Your uniqueness increases the power within you."
The Crone added, "And sex with us amps up the levels of magic within you and shines brightly to those who are looking for you. It can also affect changes. Look what happened when you had sex with Angela."
My cock twitched when she said that.
She continued, "Mind you, if you do this, we have no idea what will happen. So you'll need to just choose one of us copulate with and only one. This way you're not left unprotected."
That's an easy choice.
"I pick Angela, but not just yet. I need time to be with my family first. I don't know why, but I having a feeling deep in my souls that once I fuck Angela, my time will be up. I want to be able to say goodbye to everyone, at least in my own way. Give me 24 hours and then come back. I also need Piper or one of you to 'reenergize' me the way she did in the hospital, but even more so now. I need to be at full strength."
