Then, slowly, a ringing that I hadn’t even noticed started to dial down and I felt really dumb as I realized I was sitting in a large crystalline co...ridor. I wasn’t dead. I had just been flashbanged. But in my defense-Two Doyen walked around the corner. Their spikey armor glittered and they had a pair of glittering psi-halberds in their hands. I sprang to my feet, trying to get a psi-sword into my hands. Nothing happened. And the Doyen walked through me. Then I hit myself again.I wasn’t dead,. . stark naked, fucking one another."What was this world coming to anyway?" I asked myself, and then realized simultaneously everything I'd done lately and gotten involved in myself. There was only one word for it ... Bella.And then as though I'd summoned her with just a mere thought, she came walking into the kitchen.She was wearing an almost identical outfit to the one mom had on. A similar pair of white, almost too short shorts ... a blue and white striped blouse in a slightly different. "That's better," Nate husked as he put one finger beneath her chin and forced her head up, looking penetratingly into her fear-filled eyes."What do you want from me?" Micki asked."Well, now, I'd say that's up to you, little slut," Nate said with an evil grin."What-what do you mean?" she asked."I think your daddy would be very interested to know what you've been doing with the horse he bought you," Nate said slowly, as if savoring every threatening word."No! You wouldn't!" Micki gasped."That's. “Fucking hell Mum what you doing?” I slurred as she pushed me inside, making me slam against the stairs.“Get in there and shush your gob,” she slurred.I noticed the bottle of vodka was half empty, as she closed the door behind, tutting at my wonky drunken stagger entering the kitchen and I thought ‘she need fucking talk.’“I want to talk to you,” she said, leaning against the table. “It’s about Den and our Shar.”I groaned. I wanted to piss and sleep, hopefully in that order and here she was.
