8 January 2004 - Signs

Written by Joy

Ophelia, Rosalind, Becky and Rachel

Ophelia was usure of what to do. She'd had a bad dream, that when she awoke, struck her as a bad omen. Usually she'd talk to her mother, but since Sherrie was in the middle of the ocean, she called her sister.

"I hope she's not busy," Feelie said as shie pickied up the phone.

Rosalind was lying spooned against Becky, and did not want to get up, but that annoying phone wouldn't stop ringing.

"'Lo?"

"Rozzie? It's me."

"Feelie? What's up?"

"Bad omen, in a dream."

"What was it?"

"Okay, it was about Mr. Summers at first. He was holding the baby, and giving her a bottle, when it went empty. So he picked up a golden goblet of blood, and sipped from it, before holding it to Joyce's lips. She drank, and then turned into an albatross and flew circles around the school. Your school, not mine."

"Crap, crap crap. Oh goddess, what to do? What are your instincts telling you?"

"That a dark force is coming to NY, but it might already be here."

"Okay, I'm going to cast some bones and read my cards, and I'll call you later. Swirl some tea leaves, and tell that lazy brother of ours to study the runes."

"Okay. Something's coming Sissy, something big."

"I know sweetpea. I love you, Babe."

"Love you too." They hung up and Roz turned to look at Becky who was lying on her side.

"Mmmm," she said sleepily, "'Sweetpea,'? 'Love you babe'? Should I be jealous?" The former Amish girl poked fun at the beautiful selkie.

"Hardly, it was Ophelia. You know I'm a one-woman girl."

"I know, I'm just teasing. Is something wrong?"

"That's what we're gong to check out. Feelie dreamed of blood and an albatross, so we're going to check the signs, but we think something's coming."

"Should I be worried?"

"I don't know yet."

"All right, I'll pray for clarity on the matter." Despite having been ostracized from her family, church and community, Beckystill prayed regularly, and attended a local Anglican church on Sundays. Becky was handling her shunning remarkably well, and Roz couldn't help but be amazed atthe girl's strength.

"Have I told you yet this morning how unbelievably beautiful you are?" Becky blushed.

"You just did. But you are absolutely stunning, even at 6 am in your pyjamas." Roz grinned and pounced her lover, pushing aside the thick quilt. Roz straddled Becky, leaning down to kiss her nose.

"The signs," kiss, "can," kiss, "wait." Roz declared, kissing Becky deeply. Becky opened her mouth and welcmed Roz's tongue happily. As their tonguesdanced, Becky slipped her hands under Roz's tank top, running them up and down the older girl's smooth back. Roz broke the kiss to pull her top off, and help Becky with her own nightgown. Becky rolled them both over so that she was now straddling Rosalind's hips. Becky slid one hand up the leg of Roz's shortie pyjamas, resting it on her hip. She bent down and kissed the side of her lover's neck, first gently, and then nibbling down a bit. Slowly, she worked her way down to Roz's left breast, taking the nipple into her mouth. She teased and suckled it into a hard little nub, fingering the other with her left hand. Roz moaned in pleasure, sliding her hands down Becky's back to cup her ass, arching her own back. Becky sat up and removed her own panties before sliding Rozzie's shorts and panties down her legs.

"My turn," Becky whispered, alluding to the night before. Gently she coaxed the selkie's legs open with her hands. Roz bent her knees and opened her legs to allow Becky access between them.

"I love you SO much," Becky said before tipping her head to lick up the length of Rosalind's sex. She used one hand to play with Roz's clit while slipping her tongue inside the moist channel. She felt Roz's fingers tangle in her hair as she pumped her tongue in and out of the older girl, pinching down hard on Roz's clit as Roz screamed out Becky's name, falling into ecstasy. Roz took quick breaths as Becky came up next to her. Roz pulled Becky into a kiss, tasting her own juieso n the younger girl's lips.

"You are SO good at that," Roz breathed. Are you sure that you've never done it before?"

"Only with you, my darling, only for you." They lay beside each other for a few moments before Roz rolled over on her side and kissed Becky firmly. Their tongues wrestled some more, and Roz eased herself on top of Becky, urging the girl's legs apart. She slipped her hand between Becky's legs to find her sweetheart wet and ready for her. She slipped her index finger inside Becky, caressing her inner walls with one hand, and teasing a nipple with the other. Her thumb circled the mutant's clitoris as she added a second finger, to find Becky still wide open from the night before. Roz broke the kiss.

"All of it?" she whispered quietly, and Becky nodded. Adding a third and fourth, Roz pumped her fingers in and out of her girlfriend as she went down to capture the girl's clit in her mouth. Roz worried the swollen clit with her tongue as she carefully stretched Becky to fit her petite hand inside the girl. Becky began to moan loudly as Roz fisted her before she finally clamped down on Becky's clit with her teeth. Becky screamed in a beautiful mix if pain and ecstasy as her orgasm hit her hard. Completely understandin the notion of bliss, Becky whispered,

"I love you," as she drifted back to sleep. With a goofy happy look on her face, Roz licked her lips before throwing a sarong and tank top. She picked up her Tarot cards, bones, and her cell phone beforegrabbing her towel and heading down to the pool for a morning swim.

Roz closed the bedroom door quietly, as not to wake Becky, and wrinkled her nose as she walked by the room next to her. Jay and Silent Bob were smoking pot again, and the sickly sweet smell was seeping out under the doorframe. How it was that they didn't set off the smoke detectors daily, Roz didn't know.

She headed down to the pool, and wasn't surprised to see Rachel there, swimming laps. The pregnant animorph had been joining Roz on her morning swims for the past week or so, now that her morning sickness had passed. Rachel waved at Roz as she pulled herself onto the side of the pool for a breather.

"Ooooooh, I know that look," Rach said, hereyes twinkling. "Somebody just got laid!" Roz blushed.

"When you're right, you're right. What canI say, she's crazy about me, and I love her just as much."

"Ahh, young love!" Rachel sighed wistfully, making Roz laugh.

"Don't I know it. Ophelia has a different boyfriend each week -- none of them serious -- and Orli is in quite the odd relationship. He has both a boyfriend and a girlfriend, and they're all dating each other. It's enough to make one's head spin." Rach giggled. Roz looked about and saw no boys around, so Rach turned her back as Roz shifted into a seal.

"I'd morph dolphin and join you," Rach told the selkie, "but I'm afraid of what might happen to the baby." It was amusing to see a seal nod.

//I wouldn't risk it, because your morphing isn't something genetic. Your body might not know what to do with the baby. Come swim with me anyways!// Roz said telepathically. Rachel slid back into the water, and the two held silent races for a while.

"Oy," Rachel said, standing in the shallow end. "I'm hungry again! I'm a gymnast, I don't get hungry" Rachel heard Roz's giggle in her head. "Yeah, getting all kinds of weird craving."

//Like what?//

"Salty things with sweet things, like white rice with chocolate syrup, or chips with whipping cream. I think I'm beginning to gross people out." They both laughed, and Roz shifted back into her human form, relishing the feel of cool water on her naked skin.

"Well," she began, "I like to eat fish raw, and not just in sushi, so people think I'm weird. But then again, lesbian-selkie-mutant, so we all know I'm weird." Rachel laughed, getting out of the pool. She turned around while Roz got out and put her clothes back on. Gathering up her stuff, ahe smiled at her friend.

"Caf?"

"Caf." Rach replied, as the two of them headed down to get some breakfast. It was almost 8:00 so everyone was getting ready for class. Roz decided that Becky must have gotten up again, because there were fresh pancakes and hash browns, and Roz knew that Becky had been cooking again. Roz and Rach grabbed some food and sat down next to a very sleepy Kitty and Theresa. Settingher food aside, Roz spread out a cloth and asked her cards a question. She started to turn them over, and gasped.

"What's wrong?" Kitty asked tiredly.

"Okay, I asked the cards about the school, and this is what they're telling me. This indicates the schools past, this is teh present, and this is the future.. Basically, what they're telling me is that there's been a lot of pain and suffering here, and now we're at a respite, the eye of the hurricane. Something big is coming. Big, powerful, and evil." This was a different tone than when the girls had seen Roz read her cards in the past. Roz was often doing Tarot readings for her friends, but they'd never seen her so upset at a reading before. She packed up her cards ad took out her bones. She held them tight in her hand, before tossing them gently onto the cloth.

"Oh crap, crap, crap and more crap. It's old. Whatever it is, it's ancient, and it's been asleep for, like, milennia. And it's about to wake up." Roz grabbed her cell phone.

Back in her dorm room, Ophelia was just as on edge. This was the fourth time she'd swirled the tea, and each time the tea leaves gave her a similar answer. Ignoring the strange looks from her roommate, Ophelia picked up her phone only to have it ring in her hand.

"Roz?"

"Yeah. My readings weren't very happy."

"Neither were mine," the younger sister remarked. "According to the tea leaves, a dark power is about to rise, and it's very old and very evil."

"I got the same thing from the cards and bones. Did you talk to Orli yet?"

"Nope, I rang him up, but Tom answered by cussing and hanging up."

"Ah. Well, if you see him later, tell Research Boy to get his tail in gear."

"Will do. ANd tell your girlfriend to stop molesting you while you're on the phone." Roz giggled, and she relayed the message toBecky, who had come up behind her and started kissin the back of her neck. Becky replied with words that shocked everyone to hear escape from the very proper girl's mouth. Ophelia laughed out loud.

"Tell her to stop hanging around Spike, He's so corrupting her quite nicely." The sisters exchanged goodbyes and hung up. Ophelia went off in search of her brother, and the girls all dug into breakfast.
