Crazy Seduction(erotica)

Sigrid just pursed her lips and shook her head. She felt equally to blame as she’d managed to get Meixiu to confess what she’d be up to and told her they would go out together from now on for safety. “Try again.”

Sigrid turned to Sandy. “Go out on the balcony and look up. Tell us if you see a change in the color of the sky.” Sandy nodded and dashed for the door.

The tall and slim Chinese woman nodded and clung to Henry. She repeated her calls and listened to his breathing between each attempt. He’d come back so quickly last time. That it was taking so long now was seriously frightening her.

Sandy called out from down the hall. “The sky above is turning green!”

Meixiu looked hopefully at Sigrid, who nodded. The smaller woman moved her mouth closer to his ear to speak insistently. “Henry! Where are you? Come back to your body, NOW!”

Henry’s body heaved as he sucked in a deep breath. Everyone screamed, squealed, or squeaked in surprise, Dayshia waking with a scream on her lips. She blinked and looked at Henry’s waking state. Sandy came running when she heard the noise.

Meixiu clung tighter and kissed Henry, whose eyes were fluttering open.

“Meixiu, give him a chance to fully wake up!” Sigrid admonished her roommate.

Henry’s eyes were rolling in his head. “Oh god… What… Did that… what happened?” he muttered.

Tish climbed on the bed and leaned over him to look into his eyes. “You were injured last night. Your mind left your body again after you were healed.”

Henry was looking at her in dread. “Shit… it happened again. This time I didn’t cause it but…” He tried to sit up, and Tish helped him. He looked to Meixiu. He took her face in his hands and kissed her. “Thank you for bringing me back.”

“We tried talking to you all night to get you to return! What is it about Meixiu’s voice that makes you hear her!” Dayshia asked.

Henry blinked at her then looked to the others, who were all waiting for an answer. “Thank you. I-I recall hearing your voices… as I passed by in orbit.”

Sandy squeaked in surprise. “Your mind was flying around in outer space?!?”

A shudder went through Henry’s body as he shook his head. “No. More like the upper atmosphere.” He looked to Sigrid. “The flow of the Wild Magic is much faster than it was before, and it’s much stronger. I was caught in the current and went around the planet again, again, and again.”

She looked frightened by his admission. “Henry. Out of body experiences don’t normally allow for that much distance between the mind and body. You could become permanently lost out there.”

Meixiu’s breathing was becoming faster as she began to get more and more upset. “You will not do that anymore!” she snapped at him in fright.

He felt it then, a compulsion to obey. He smiled as he pulled her into a tight hug. “I know why Meixiu’s voice draws me back!” he said with a shocked smile. The others looked to him. “She’s able to compel people with her voice. I felt a pull! Is that some kind of Vampire ability?” He looked to Meixiu and Sigrid.

The muscular blonde smiled as she bumped her forehead with the heel of her hand. “Ah! Of course. I should have remembered, but she’s the only Vampire I know.”

Henry suddenly looked uncomfortable. “Sorry, I need to use the facilities. While I do that, Tish, can you turn on the TV to a news channel? Look for a story on an epic storm in a coastal Middle East city. His expression was a little bleak. He tried to get out of bed only to end up on the floor, his muscles weak and trembling.

“Henry! What’s wrong?” Tish asked nervously.

“I seem to have no strength left, and I’m so hungry,” Henry moaned.

“Kesini and I have this,” Sandy said as she moved closer to lift Henry to his feet and helped him over to the washroom. Dayshia and Tish raised their eyebrows at the apparent ease Sandy had with lifting her much larger patient. They shared a grin with her, then guided the others out of the bedroom to the living room.

Tish got the TV going and scanned through the news channels. It didn’t take long to find a story on a devastating explosion that killed hundreds in Kuwait City.

With Sandy and Kesini’s assistance, Henry soon returned to join them and gave them all hugs. He was still a little shaky, so Tish immediately began preparing breakfast with Meixiu’s assistance.

Henry stared bleakly at the screen, which was showing a very long view of Kuwait City. The press crews weren’t being allowed to get close. Troops were also unable to move into the city from outside because of a wall of viciously whipped up sand and dust encircling the city. It didn’t look natural. There were occasional flashes of silver from within the dust clouds. The news feed cut to a drone cam one of the news teams snuck into the area and deployed. They’d positioned it a short distance outside a large open space on the southern edge of the city. They were showing a huge gathering of gleaming humanoid shapes in this area. There had to be close to two hundred of them!

“What– What are those?!?” Dayshia gasped.

Henry twitched and looked to the dark beauty. “Glass People. I was there last night. I saw them being created. The pseudo-clouds were fighting. They flew over the city streets, shedding their mass, saturating everything with Wild Magic charged rain. The people were coming outside to stand in it and watch the light show in the sky. Then the remaining clouds unleashed another attack. The lightning was intense, and when it was over, the people were either dead or had become glass.”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“Oh my god, Henry!” Sigrid said, realizing he’d been inside what must have felt like a war zone.

“So much death!” he muttered as he watched as the screen split to keep one side with the drone footage and the other showing scenes of the amassed military might, just outside the stationary sandstorm. A single tank rolled forward. The news camera focused on this attempt to probe the wall.

Suddenly, a single silver humanoid rushed out of the swirling clouds of sand to rush up to the side of the tank. The split-screen switched to a single view of this silver being and the tank. The camera was too far to make out small details, but they could see it standing next to the large vehicle. A soldier sticking out of the top of the tank pointed his handgun at the silver being and pulled the trigger. The silver being didn’t react at all at first. It just seemed to touch its chest. Then it stepped forward and kicked the tank’s track multiple times, faster than the eye could track. It finally rushed back into the sandstorm. The Tank tried to move forward again, but the track that had been kicked no longer turned. It was broken.

“What was that?!?” Sigrid exclaimed.

Henry was peering closely at the video, trying to make out how many of the silver beings were racing back and forth in that cloud of sand. It became apparent to him that they were creating the blockade to… protect the Glass People? That was the first thing that came to his mind.

“Henry!”

He looked to Sigrid, who was staring at him intently. “Hmmm? What?”

“I was asking you if you saw the silver man last night too? Did he come from the other side?” she asked.

He shook his head. “I only saw one last night, and he was human before he changed. He was soaked with the rain from the pseudo-cloud, but he didn’t get hit by the lightning. He picked up some debris that fell from one of the dead clouds. It was some shiny yellow stones and the silver strips which melted over his skin. The Silver People are, or were, Human. The one I saw last night ran away really fast after he changed.” He pointed to the TV. “There seems to be more of them now, and I think they might be protecting the Glass People.”

“The sandstorm is moving!” Dayshia called out. They turned back to the TV and saw the swirling sand and dust’s outer boundary was indeed moving away from the troops and into the city streets, racing back to the field where the other beings waited for something. A few silver beings were running around the open park’s periphery to keep the Human citizen within the city from interfering with the Glass People inside.

A reporter stated that the population of Kuwait City was almost two and a half million, so Henry was grateful, so few had ventured out into the storm. While there seemed to be hundreds of people gathered to see this event, they kept their distance.

While that was happening, the drone cams caught the flash of orange light in the center of the open space where the Glass People were gathered.

“Xiong and the others heard their call! It’s an opening to Eden!” Henry shouted excitedly.

The glass beings surged forward slowly and began passing through the rip in space. Considering the number of Glass People, how slow they moved, and the energy it took to keep that rip open, Henry knew most weren’t going to make it through.
