Some women you don't mess with

"Good morning," Alexis says to herself as she stands naked in front of the mirror. "Your face is perfect the way it is. You are a virgin, and there's nothing wrong with that. You have a beautiful girlfriend who you're going shopping with today." Alexis's therapist has taught her about positive affirmations as an exercise in self-love so that she doesn't restart her eating disorder. Her therapist also helps her mourn her sisters who fought for this country but came back in coffins. Her siblings died for her freedom to practice magic and defend herself as the law allows. Alexis is an actress and loves being a witch. Still naked, she goes into the kitchen, scrambles eggs, and makes toast, items she bought from Abby Whole Food Store, the motto, "Come see me and purify your body". She sat at the table, eats her breakfast, and reads emails about auditions. Alexis scrapes the toast crust and the last bites of her eggs into the garbage. She walks back into her room and goes over to her dresser. Alexis smiles warmly at a familiar chain necklace sticking out in a drawer, and she pulls it out. Her sisters' dog tags hang at the end of it. Alexis holds the military dog tags in two hands, and they feel warm, like her sisters are still alive and with her. She looks in the mirror and doesn't judge herself anymore, whether she's naked or not. Ever since last night, her self-esteem skyrocketed when she caught a glimpse of her bare body in the reflection with the love of her life Harleen on her knees and giving oral pleasure. But Her Mom, Callisto, came home early and saw her daughter with her back against the wall, Harleen's head buried between Alexis's legs. Alexis's phone rang, and it returned her to reality. She looks down at the phone and sees her mom's picture on the screen. "Hey, Mom. How's filming?" "It's great," her mom pauses to sip her coffee. "I almost have the image of you, in the living room, with your girlfriend out of my mind." Her mom laughs, and Alexis blushes. "If you talk about it, the image doesn't go away any faster." "Your overdose plays in the trauma cinemas in the middle of my brain." Callisto said. "I don't have a problem with your s*x life because the last time I entered the house, you were on the floor overdosing." "I'm not looking for any more drugs. As I asked before, how was your day?" "The day started as expected. Katherine and Victoria shot a scene, and they kissed." Alexis auditioned for the same part as Victoria and won the role, but she ignored it for obvious reasons. Had she taken that role, it would have been her lips and tongue intertwined with Katherine's. "They didn't hear me when I yelled cut," Callisto says, "but they eventually stopped, and a crew member made a homophobic comment. So I called my friend in the EMT to take him away before anything else happened" Callisto is very protective of her daughter, and she has no toleration for disrespectful cast and crew. "Damn, Mom!" Alexis smiled but didn't want to ask whether it was a spell or did she beat the person up? Her mom sent the video of the whole interaction, and it seems that the woman who gave birth to her used the Shadowboxer spell. It keeps hitting you until something breaks. "I wish I could have done what you did!" Alexis was excited about what she saw and wanted to do magic like that to defend herself. "Just worry about getting better for now, and your other sibling plans to call." Callisto bound down some of her daughter's magic, but not all of it. There was an incoming call from the only child's girlfriend, Harleens. Callisto hung up after saying goodbye. "I am so nervous about shopping for clothes in public." Alexis's Girlfriend Harleen is transitioning from man to woman and is still gun shy about going out in public. "The clothes you have don't fit the standard of beauty you possess!" Alexis raised voice made Harleens tear up because it was the tone and words were loud and genuine. "Sorry, the estrogen is making me so emotional," Harleens explained to her. "You and I are Davina's, not Davids, we are goddesses among others, and so your clothes should make you feel like my clothes make me feel." Alexis's words made Harleens forget her worries and when she licked her lips, remember last night. They continued the conversation about what they did this morning, got into ten minutes of phone s*x, exchanged I love you's then hung up with each other. Alexis put on her pink dress with gleaming pink knee-high Go-go Boots. This was an outfit to raise her self-esteem. "I look like Cotton candy." She gave the profound suggestive praise to herself. Alexis turned her head slightly to the left and saw a pamphlet for a church she loathed and is nearby. The troubled actress reluctantly goes there and is disgusted by the fake Christians who talk behind her back, and Youth Pastor, Benjamin Hawkes, looks at her lustfully, constantly. Just because of her problems with eating and mourning the loss of her Sisters, he thinks she would be easy pickings for him. He doesn't care about his wife Elizabeth, the one he abuses, and she stays by his side no matter what. His significant other never makes it a point to talk to anyone else that's not in her circle of friends. No one communicates with the fallen celebrity because they expect her to adapt to a certain level of loving Jesus to apprise them. She doesn't believe in those fake Christians. The Preacher's wife doesn't think it would boost her status in the church if she could "save" the troubled actress. There was a knock on the door. Alexis went to open the front door. It was Elizabeth, the spouse of the Youth Pastor, Benjamin, and she didn't look happy.
