Flight Agaric

5

After Io finished her breakfast the servants escorted her back to her chambers. They quickly left, with one serving girl. Natasha, saying that they had to go prepare her marital chamber for tonight. Hopefully Natasha didn't notice the color draining from Io's face, but Io certainly felt it as the door to her chambers closed. "I'm still just a child." She muttered to herself. She needed someone to discuss this with, someone she knew closely. She flung open the door and called out to one of the servants, "Could you please find Nathalia and send her to my room? She told me that she would arrive early." "Yes m'lady." her servant Micheal bowed and then hurried in the opposite direction.

After what seemed like an entire fortnight there was a knock on the door. "Please come in.' Io called out as Micheal opened the door and let Nathalia in, he then bowed and closed the door behind her. "Oh I'm so glad you're here." Io said softly as she jumped out of her bed to greet her friend. Nathalia grabbed her hand and pulled her close, kissing her passionately. "I would never miss your wedding dear." She said softly and they both did a slight giggle. "I wish you were the one I was getting married to, and not this strange foreign man." Io said as she placed her head gently upon Nathalia's shoulder, and began to cry. Nathalia stroked the back of her head "Oh my sweet little cherry, you can't go smudging your makeup on my dress." Io quickly shot back, looking at the small black and red stain she left on her shoulder. "I'm so sorry, I, I didn't-." Nathalia cut her off with another kiss. Her laugh came through slightly as they remained with their lips interlocked.

Nathalia was another noblewoman, from house Flynn. Her raid hair was put into two large pigtails. She was wearing a black dress that was cut short, stopping in the middle of her thighs. Io thought the dress made the small red freckles on her face light up. She was wearing long white socks underneath a pair of black heels, the socks went up to her thigh with an intricate lace around the very top. She was the most beautiful woman Io had ever met. They had been dating in secret for the better part of two years, and this secret is what Io cherished most in the entire world. I

o pulled back slightly, and looked down to the floor. The love she felt for this woman was unlike anything she had ever experienced. She was sure that whatever she was going to have with her new husband couldn't hold a candle compared to the flame that burned inside of her when Nathalia was there. She pulled a small tissue out of her back pocket and handed it to Io with a smile. "I'm going to miss you, so so much dear." She whispered slightly, to Io it sounded like the words of the saddest little angel. Io wiped her eyes and blew her nose, then threw the tissue into the wastebasket. "At least we have this, right now." Io said, eying the woman she was in love with. Nathalia shot her a wicked glance, and jumped on top of her. Grabbing Io's arms and pinning them against the bed, kissing her once again. Io began to weep even more and Nathalia pulled away, sensing that she needed to be held  right now.

Nathalia laid next to her, with her arms wrapped around Io in a warm embrace. Io then turned and laid her head upon Nathalia's breast. Io reached into Nathalia's pocket and pulled out another tissue, she had come prepared, and blew her nose once again. "Are you sure you can't come with me? We could maybe hide you in the undercarriage." Io did a small laugh as she made eye contact with Nathalia. "I promise I'll come visit cherry, I already have a ferry booked for next month." Nathalia said with a smile. This worried Io though, What if her new husband found her with another woman? Would he divorce her and ruin the alliance her father worked so hard to build? Would she be outcast from both her new home and her old one? She was terrified at this possibility. Io put her hand to Nathalia's face, brushed her long red hair behind her ear, and reached up to kiss her once again. This kiss was deep and passionate, Io grabbed Nathalia's breast and bit her lower lip as she pulled away. "Oh you little whore." Nathalia said with a devilish smile, and flung her onto her back. Nathalia attacked her neck with a flurry of soft lips
