Now I could hear Tyr's voice
but I still couldn't tell where it was coming from.
I listened a moment later only to be greeted by silence. Nonetheless I spoke, "Well wait just a
minute can ya ?" I said a bit crossly. "I'm kinna busy at the
moment." I said looking around wondering where her voice was and
then grunted for a moment trying to finish up so I could go
looking for her.
Tyr was silent for a brief pause and I heard her groan uncomfortably. I continued what I was doing. A moment later her voice echoed quietly, "Dev, I can SEE you're busied.
Can't you holded it in already ? I'm not liking this !"
"Where are you ?" I said looking around my feet as I continued to
alleviate myself.
Tyr splashed the water angrily around her and yelled now, "For God's saked
stopped - what - what you're - doing already !" she said and finally
touched me from under to let me know where she was.
Despite the crazy situation of Tyr touching my naked butt from
below inside a toilet, the unmistakable voice of SIM rang out
loudly again, "Contact has been established !"
I felt a weird shock in my posterior and peered down to see Tyr and -
well - a mess beside her.
"I'm so sorry !" I apologized, "How did you get in there anyways
?"
"Don't worry about that now !" she said holding her nose while her
other hand gripped the edge of the ladder, "Get me out of here
already !"
"Not like that," I said. "Here, hang on." and motioned her to grip
the ladder.
"What are you doing !?" she demanded.
I motioned to the flushing handle. Her eyes got wide and she held
on. I hit the level and in seconds the water was clean
again, and it helped clean Tyr a bit too who went through what could only be
described as a hurricane of torrential water trying to blow her
down the hole.
She held on but was sputtering and apparently fine. I waited till
the water quelled and then reached in to help her out.
As I did a strange band of white and blue energy transferred between our two
hands that stayed connected like a glowing rubber-band even
after we let go of each other.
"What is this ?" I said touching the side of my left wrist not
effecting the band at all, though it jiggled and made a strange
whispery sound of electricity as it did.
"I don't know." Tyr said seeing the same glowing string coming
from her right hand. "I think it means, we're joined."
"Affirmative." SIM said. "You are bonded to each other. You
now have a link with each other."
I looked at Tyr. Despite the earlier hurricane of water to clean her, she still needed a
bath so bad. I didn't even want to describe how she looked,
except, yeah, filthy really.
"Say, ahhm - SIM, How about cleaning up Tyr ?" I offered to no-one
in front of me.
"Clarify." the soulless voice of SIM inquired simply.
"Well ..." I told myself. SIM would have no idea what 'clean'
was. "Make Tyr in the same condition she was before she first arrived here." and I pointed to the commode.
"Confirmed." SIM said and a bright blue glow enveloped Tyr. The
horrid stink vanished from her and the bathing suit looked a
little brighter, cleaned of filth, as if she had only been
swimming in a public pool now. And then the moisture drained from her suit. In seconds she was pristine.
Looking to her beautiful eyes and hair I was suddenly overcome
with emotion and reached out to hug her, "Tyr !" I said with tears
in my eyes.
Tyr patted me comfortably on the back but had her head more on a
swivel than me. "I love you too, picklepie." she said quietly,
"But we've got to get away from this mad woman !"
I pulled back to look at Tyr's wonderfully beautiful face again
and bit my lip in frustration feeling more tears fall down.
"We just can't." I said and beat one of my fists into the hand
with the glowing rubber-band and it hissed angrily jumping out of
the way but still stayed attached.
"Why, Dev ? All we have to do is wished our way home or something,
right ?"
* * *
"It won't do any good." I explained to her. "Stefani - will come
after us again. She always will. We will NEVER be free of her !"
Tyr wiped a tear from my eye on her bathing suit and said, "No.
We're doned running. I've got some ideas of how to be ridded of Arkos for good. It's time to gived Stefani some of her owned
medicine."
"How ?" I said. Honestly I had no idea. Perhaps I wasn't as
deviously minded as Tyr was.
Instead of replying Tyr spoke, "SIM ? Can you heared me ?"
"Affirmative, Tyr." Sim said.
"That's a yes, right ? OK, Will you also done what I telled you,
like Dev ?"
There was a pause I think as SIM tried to interpret her words,
clearly, not altogether fluent. "Affirmative, Tyr." SIM said again
finally.
"Good, be ready." Tyr said smirking and then added to me, "Stefani is toast, hot and buttered." and
her face screwed up in a terrible and angry expression.
"Let's go." she said and took my hand in hers and the band glowed
brighter making an encircling ring around both of our wrists with
little rainbows jumping all around it, rather pretty really. We
stepped out of the bathroom together and the glow got softer.
Back in Stefani's private bathroom she was speaking to Tyr, or so
she thought. "You're doing very well, sweetie. You're so silent.
Maybe you'll get all your meals this way. Does that sound good ?"
She
was greeted by further silence, "You know what ? Since you're so quiet I
must assume you like it down there, so I'll leave you here
overnight with my offering and the next morning we'll decide
where you need to be. How does that sound ?"
There was again no reply as Tyr was with me.
"Honey ?" Stefani asked, confused, expecting Tyr to make some
kind of sound.
Without waiting for a reply she stood up suddenly to look to see
that the handcuffs were empty, Tyr had escaped !
"You little b***h. There's only one place you can go." she said and sat back down
and finished up her business.
Finally
she completed, cleaned herself up, washed her hands, quickly put on a robe and went out to see both me and Tyr
looking at her, stopping her in her tracks !
She saw that I had released Tyr but wasn't aware of the curious
and soft glow encircling both our wrists.
Stefani laughed in a wicked tone. Finally she spoke in a super-scary voice, "Oh, Dev, if you
thought I had spanked you earlier ? That was NOTHING ! You march
yourself right back in that bedroom and stay there until I
figure out what kind of punishment you deserve !"
I started to pull away in fear from Tyr but she held onto my
hand rubbing her thumb in the hollow of my palm to make me feel
better and said, "Don't be afraid, Dev. she doesn't have any
power over us - not now."
Then
to Stefani she shrieked, "You gone RIGHT us let now or you're
gone so get it to !"
Stefani laughed cruelly hearing Tyr slur her words knowing she
was terribly afraid despite the tone of rage she tried to put in
her small voice.
Stefani thought of saying something crude but caught herself.
Finally she spoke, "Dev, Tyr. You're right, of course." and then
added, "I HAD received orders to set you both free. Arkos is
done with you after all."
She
continued with an oily smile, "I just wanted to - well ... It
doesn't matter. I don't want to get in trouble with my
superiors, so come on - let me show you the exit to this place,
with my apologies, of course."
Surely Stefani was losing what little of her brain remained.
Clearly Tyr and me didn't believe a word of what she said, but
we wanted to see what was in her mind at this point. And we had
the advantage she apparently was not aware that SIM was at our
beck and call.
"Sure, Miss Stefani." Tyr said evenly to her. And then she
raised her voice, "Lead the way." and
nodded to me to go along with her.
I realized I was still wearing that stupid karate skirt and Tyr
was in a bathing suit, but we didn't want to delay Stefani any
further. We could get our original clothes back later.
Stefani still smiled and ingratiatingly opened the door to her
quarters and holding out her hand expansively said, "This way,
children. Let's send you to your home." as a slight red fire
burned in the back of her eyes.
