Part 10
Under My Skin
Robin gripped the metal object in her hand. She had never seen anything quite like it, and the energy radiating from it pulsated through her. She felt it's power seep into her mind and was helpless to stop her body from responding to it. She closed her eyes as wave after wave of energy jolted her to the core. She felt her muscles clenching from the invasion into her body: it felt exhilarating. Her entire being seemed to be throbbing with adrenaline then she felt something else…something more sensual, like a lover's caress…
She shivered in anticipation, delirious with passion. Long black hair cascaded down her back as she raised her closed eyes to the ceiling. Her lips parted…however, she did not know if it was to breath or accept her lover's kiss… Her tongue snaked out to wet dry lips, hoping to sample the familiar taste of her soulmate. Robin, so completely lost in emotion, never knew when her feet left the ground. She was consumed by total ecstasy.
Her thoughts were trying to keep up with the endless emotions sweeping through her being. But there were too many. She tried telling herself this wasn't happening, but it felt so real. Finally, the tall commander silenced her mind and let her body be swept away with desire. She felt her lover all around her, her body begged for the soft touch of familiar fingertips. Then without warning her body convulsed with such force that she fell to the floor with a hard thud.
Slowly she opened her eyes. Confused and still thrumming with passion, blue eyes shifted all around the room. Robin couldn't figure out what just happened. The room still looked the same, but something was different…very different. She could feel it: a deep warm burning in the pit of her belly…the feeling of total contentment along with a touch of arousal. There was no mistaking that feeling…
"Sarah?"
As soon as the name of her lover escaped her lips, her body erupted with love. The warm feeling inside her boiling over and filling her veins; giving life to her.
Robin slowly lifted her hands to inspect them. It was only a blur, almost an illusion, but she saw it. There before her she saw a hand much smaller than her own, under her skin. Then it disappeared.
Another rush of emotion swept through Robin's body as she felt Sarah's thoughts.
"I'm here Robin…inside you."
Those words along with the overwhelming sensations coursing through her, drove Robin's body up another notch on the arousal scale. She was powerless to stop it.
Sarah felt it too. Her body instantly responding to her soulmate's needs and desires. She knew they didn't have long and there would be plenty of time together once they returned to the Phoenix…it was just so hard not to give in. Both women's need for the other began growing quickly. It was the most sensual experience either woman had ever had. Truly and completely filled by the other…feeling all the emotions they shared for each other…
The chosen one stood over Sarah's body. She looked over at the tiny spec that hovered above the young blonde's face then began to speak.
"I was afraid this might happen…"
Abigail looked up; concern written all over her face.
"What is wrong?"
Her tension faded when she saw a smirk cross the chosen one's face. She had heard the tales of soulmates using the power to merge in order to experience the ultimate in intimacy and pleasure. That must be what was happening. Her small brow's knitted together as she remembered some of the other tales. Soul's merging and getting lost in the powerful emotions and never returning.
"Can we get them back?"
The chosen one stepped closer to Sarah. A warm smile and nod of her head assured Abigail that all would be fine. The chosen one placed her hand on the top of Sarah's head. She felt the powerful emotions flooding both women. She closed her eyes and filled Sarah's being with the strength to calm the raging sensations. It didn't take long but it did take longer than she expected. Sarah and Robin's desire for each other was genuine and mutual. They were truly soulmates. Finally, she stepped back and waited.
Abigail felt as if she would burst from curiosity.
"Well…"
"They will be home soon little one."
Abigail smiled in relief. She did not mind to wait as long as she knew they would be home safe and sound. She settled down on the warm bed next to Sarah's empty body. Her mind racing with the events of the day.
Abigail's job was to ensure that no one touch Sarah while her soul merged with Robin's. The little spec had encircled the new warrior in stardust and began a vigilant keep over Sarah. If this would be the only way she could re-pay the woman for her friendship then so be it.
The chosen one studied the tiny spec carefully. She felt conflicting emotions from the small being. Of course there was relief and contentment, but she also felt sadness and great longing.
"Do not be troubled Abigail…you will see your friend again."
"I know Sarah will return shortly…I will wait by her side until then."
The chosen one looked at the spec in confusion. Abigail had misinterpreted her words. But the contented look on Abigail's face, silenced further explanation. The small spec would understand soon enough.
Magna grinned at the lifeless little creature in front of her. She felt it had been a miserable and lonely death, which was exactly what she wanted it to experience. She was ready to step away from the lifeless creature when she noticed a small glow filling the glass, then it began to swirl. She looked closer and realized it was as if trying to look through the sand dunes of Miridian. No matter how hard she tried to focus, she could not see the small creature.
She stepped closer to the glass, trying to make out what was happening. To her misfortune, the glass broke sending shards of crystal into the woman's face and eyes. She quickly stepped back, flinching from the pain she felt. She blinked her eyes rapidly trying to clear them.
Once she opened her eyes she couldn't believe what she saw. It was like a great typhoon of stardust…swirling in front of her. She tried to call out to her guards but her voice had been silenced. She watched as the whirlwind of stardust disappeared down the corridor of her ship, as if it had been sucked out of her chamber. Without delay she ran after the funnel.
She followed it to her captive's cell and waited to see what would happen. Several of her guards followed her and stood waiting for her command, unaware of her inability to speak.
Robin sat in the floor, her eyes closed and her thoughts filled with Sarah. The young blonde had informed her lover of all that had happened and what needed to be done to make sure the chosen one entered the portal to Orion.
The tall commander focused hard on Sarah's words, trying her best to keep from giving in to her body's need to consume her lover completely. Suddenly, blue eyes snapped open and Robin watched wide-eyed as a large funnel of stardust entered her cell and wrapped around her. Robin stood up within the funnel, her eyes locked on Magna as the evil woman stepped through the door to her cell.
Sarah felt her soulmate's body prepare to fight. The adrenaline was powerful and intoxicating, but she had to keep Robin within the stardust.
"Robin…she can't hurt you now. If you step outside the stardust you will be unprotected…please let me take care of this."
Magna stood frozen in place. She looked at Robin and watched, as her body seemed to be a constant wave of movement. Then she noticed it. The outline of a smaller body standing within the commander. Before her mind could register what was happening, Sarah stepped outside Robin's body and through the stardust. Both women felt the loss immediately.
Sarah tried to control the anger in her body. Her green eye's looked Magna over. The woman was armed to the teeth. Sarah could feel the hatred and cruelty that filled the woman in front of her. She briefly wondered what could drive a person to such degrees of evilness, but quickly dismissed the thought. She had no desire to walk down that road of darkness.
"You will not win Magna…take your ship and your crew and depart from here."
Sarah stood her ground and knew that Magna would strike out at her. She was prepared for that. She wasn't prepared for Robin to ignore her plea and step beyond the stardust.
Magna's fist swung with such force, that once she realized her hand went through the woman standing in front of her it was too late to stop. The momentum from her swing twirled her around and Sarah kicked her foot out, connecting solidly with the side of Magna's head. The evil woman fell to the ground in pain.
Robin stood in stunned silence at what began to unfold in front of her. Her Sarah…fighting Magna and sending the woman to the floor. Sarah knew the instant Robin stepped out of her protective shield.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"I thought you were going to get hurt…"
No more words could be spoken. Guards rushed the two women. Robin fought off two attackers as Sarah gave a quick blow to the back of Magna's head, rendering her unconscious.
Robin was torn between fighting and watching her lover in action. Sarah moved with a speed Robin had never seen before. Her eyes could not focus on the young woman who was taking down every opponent that challenged her. A slice of pain quickly brought Robin back to the here and now as a short blade cut across her arm. The creature standing in front of the tall commander watched as blue eyes turned almost silver. His time was over and he knew it.
Robin took out the Dyonite in one swift move, then quickly turned to the next beast that ran through the cell door.
"Bring her back Sarah…you're running out of time." The chosen one's voice commanded the young blonde.
Sarah looked back to the funnel of stardust, it was beginning to fade and she knew they had to leave now. She looked to Robin and then to the number of guards running toward them. She didn't have time to warn Robin of the invasion.
Sarah ran across the room and straight into Robin's body. With all the strength she had, Sarah carried her soulmate into the fading stardust. Magna's eyes opened in time to see the two women leap into the funnel and disappear.
She looked at her fallen guards, her body filling with rage. "I want them dead." Her voice was back and her ego was hurting. She would find them and she would kill them.
