The cave floor crackled and rumbled, illuminating, revealing runes etched into the ground in the shape of a circle, looking to be an elven summoning circle. The light got brighter until it became a pillar, revealing two elves at the centre as the light suddenly died. Heads bent, they were dressed in sea blue floral silk dresses that brushed their ankles, white high heels to accompany the ensemble.<br/><br/>The bound dark elf recognised them as light elves, screaming muffled words around the gag in her mouth. The dark elf immediately scrambled over to her fellow elves, knowing they had to help her. Stumbling, Laura fell into one of the elves arms, clinging to her dress as she couldn't keep her balance when her feet were bound, looking back at the man with the scroll in anger and disgust.<br/><br/>Finally as Laura sat at the elves feet, one hand clinging to the elves dress, the other she used to rip the gag from her mouth. "Help me! This vile elf has kidnapped me, tried to rape me, and nearly killed me!?" She cried, clinging to the light elf like the helpless victim. "Help me. Keep him away from me! Please!" She begged.<br/><br/>The two light elves helped her to her feet "oh you poor dear," one said, before beginning to untie her. "Th-thank you," Laura almost sobbed, yet no tears, looking at the man in triumph almost.<br/><br/>"Thank you," she said as one held Laura close in a protective embrace. Whilst the other finished slipping the tie around her wrist off.<br/><br/>"That you had to endure such wailing from this salty sea cow," one elf said to Orion. "No wonder you gagged her."<br/><br/>Swinging her fiery gaze to the elf embracing her, she snapped, "excuse m-!" she was met with a gleaming smile that could cut bone. Literally. They were like sharks teeth.<br/><br/>Paling as the elfs arms snaked around her waist and over her chest between her cleavage, getting tighter and tighter. The light elf ran her tongue up Laura's neck, making her squeak. "Mmmm," an evil cackle "I love the smell of fear in the morning."<br/><br/>That was when Laura began to fight for release as the elves image dissolved to reveal Tempest. Her eerie eyes were predatory, disturbing to say the least.<br/><br/>Laura just managed to snatch her hand away before Twilight sunk her teeth into her fingers.<br/><br/>"Enough games." The water bubbled, churning, frothing as Lazuli emerged from the depths of the water below the cliffs edge. All 100 feet of her, towering over all four of them.<br/><br/>"But sister I am hungry now!" Twilight said, stalking over to Laura who'd landed on her backside after slipping out of Tempest's embrace, more like got dumped on the floor. Grabbing Laura by the hand, she hauled her to her feet without problem.<br/><br/>"No."<br/><br/>"Just a finger or two now... she'll still be able to talk...?" Twilight said licking her lips and Laura's fingers as if ready to take a bite.<br/><br/>"No." Twilight's pout might be considered sweet, if it wasn't for the fact she wasn't morbidly thinking over different ways to slice, dice and eat the dark elf.<br/><br/>Falling back to the floor in her haste to escape, she scrambled back over to Orion, who now didn't seem like such a bad option to hide behind.<br/><br/>Lazuli began to grow bubbles over her body, dissolving into sea foam, down to the size of a human, stepping out in a midnight blue tightfitting dress, barefoot. Sauntering over to Orion with an unnatural grace she plucked the scroll from His outstretched hand, paying him no care or attention. Reading over the scroll she glanced up to look at the elf. "What say you to these crimes against your name, your families name. Speak!" Her voice almost shaking the cave itself with the power behind it.<br/><br/>"P-Please you have to believe me. This is a set up. He framed me, he black mailed me, then kidnapped me, then tried to r-!"<br/><br/>Tempest pinched the elfs tongue between two black clawlike nails, a feral grin on her face at the elfs shock and horror. "Catfish got your tongue? Lies are unbecoming my dear...try again." Holding her by her tongue she pulled her forward and threw her to the ground by Lazuli's feet.<br/><br/>Lazuli stared down at the girl, waiting. Twilight brushed the sweat slicked hair back from the elfs face. "Speak child for these may be your last words," she whispered in her ear in delight at the prospect.<br/><br/>"I haven't done anything wrong! It wasn't just me-!" The elf let out a blood curdling scream as blood poured from between her fingers that were clamped over her mouth. Twilight held between her fingers Laura's sliced off tongue, before popping it in her mouth like it was candy, licking her lips. "What?" She asked Tempest innocently who was glaring daggers at her sister. "Her tongue was mine! It's one of the best parts." Like that was the most important thing right then. Twilight licked her bloody fingers guiltily. "Sorry... I couldn't wait any longer. And it wasn't like she was going to tell us the truth anyway," Twilight shrugged.<br/><br/>Lazuli didn't seem to care about the twins bickering over who got what part of the elf. Laura on the other hand was looking considerably paler as she scooted back away from them all, trying to get to the entrance.<br/><br/>Lazuli stomped on the girls shin bone, stopping her from moving as another scream echoed off the walls. Bone punctured flesh as Lazuli stood over her. "I let you creatures live, eat and sleep above on my island, under my protection. For a price if you want freedom. You follow my rules, and everyone must contribute to the island, be it cleansing the sea, the sky or reconstructing Atlantis below or the town of Veninsula above." Grinding her foot into Laura's wound the girl was distracted by pain, as Lazuli dug her mental claws into the girls mind reading her thoughts.<br/><br/>"Show me," was the command as the elf writhed on the floor in anguish. Finally the girl gave up, opening her mind up for Lazuli to see. It took no more than a moment. Standing up straight she looked to her sister's who gave bright smiles before pouncing on the dark elf. The sound of ripping flesh and snapping bone could be heard behind her as Lazuli made her way over to Orion.<br/><br/>"Seems we are having a feast later." Handing the scroll back to Orion which now held names, she said, "take Tempest and Twilight and this small list of names, so they can round those who are on the list up and store them in our caves for later. Make sure to get the money back and reassign proper reconstruction workers to the job," turning to look back at her sisters who were still eating she said, "they should be finished soon," she told him as she walked away back towards the cliff side edge, looking more like a model than someone who'd just tortured an elf for information. "You had best have my servant with you when next you return." The threat going unsaid, but clear in her icy tone. "Check behind her father's bookcase,"<br/><br/>Standing at the edge of the cliff she turned to look at Orion, "take anything of value in the house to help make up for the loss, and make an example of the family however you wish whilst you are at it." With that she fell back over the edge of the cliff, reamerging from the water in her Kolosi form as she swam back out of the cave.<br/><br/>Twilight sighed as she stretched, "I'm still hungry..." she said to her sister as they both walked over to Orion, looking pristine despite the fact they'd just cleaned the meat off the bones of the elf. "You don't happen to have anymore treats on you like the last one, do you Orion?" Twilight asked sweetly, draping her arms around his shoulders, bosoms pressed tightly up against his arm. She nuzzled his neck and took a deep breath as if he smelt good enough to eat himself. "If you stop licking him," Tempest yanked her sister away, "and let him lead us above to the Orchid house, then we can gather the food on the list."<br/><br/>Come, come, lead the way Orion," Tempest said, shoving him forward, a silent order to get a move on. "No time to waste."
