Healing (Damaged Sequal)

What did I do on Tequila??!!

Jessica's POV:

        Halloween. My favorite time of year. Even after becoming a Hunter/Witch I still like to dress up. Even if I have nowhere to go. Well this year a friend of Charlie’s is having an adult halloween party. I think his name was Mike, but I’m not totally sure. 

        Jaime and I were going to do a twin halloween costume (dressing up in the same costume.) We had to think long and hard about this. There were some ideas of mine she didn’t like and some of her ideas I didn’t like. What she was totally going for was to make the men pine for me. Every idea had to do with sexy. We had to stay away from vampires and witches because well that's not how witches actually look. We ended up going with goddess costumes. I had to choose long and hard and we could make a goddess costume really hot. Instead of going out and buying it, Jaime actually made them. She was good at stuff like that. 

        She took my measurements and used that for the both of us since we were the exact same person. We did have to look for shoes though, but I found two pairs of silver sandals that had straps wrap around my leg all the way up to my knees. I remember buying them on sale so I bought two just in case Jaime wanted a pair.

        While that was going on Jaime and I officially take on missions from the council. I’ve had a couple and mostly for demons that have been summoned. Most of them have been level 100 demons. I’ve been partnered with Elite members and have gotten to know them. It was nice.

        Jaime used a white fabric and sewed in a gold ribbon or something like it. She made something like a bra for the top part and had gold around the waist part. She made it a halter top and the bottom was like wearing a bikini with knee length fabric in the front and back. She had gold sewn around the hips and made some designs on the cloth in the front and back. Then there is a shawl type thing that is glued to two golden circulates and is hooked to the skirt part. It was white and see through

        What she told me was that we were going to cover ourselves with something that causes our body and face to shine like we were glowing. Then she would do our makeup and hair. It was going to take a long time. She also told the guys that she and I were going to leave last and not to wait for us. I made sure that I knew how to get to this place. 

        She would make adjustments and I just had my last fitting a week ago. The guy was actually doing the party on Halloween. The two kids were being babysat by Tillie. 

        The night has come. Everyone was getting ready and Jaime had brought everything she needed over to my room before she jumped into the shower. I was in the shower shaving and making sure that my body was rid of unwanted hair on any part of my body that was needed. Even my special spot. 

        I made sure to do a couple of face masks every night for the past week and it shows. I also use a face scrub afterward. I used a face mask for an hour today. Brushed my teeth in the shower as well. I turned off the water and grabbed a towel wrapping my hair in it and putting on my bathrobe. I met Jaime in my room. We dried our hair with a blow dryer and then pulled it into a tight bun. 

        Jaime pulled out a spray can and started spraying my now dried body. I was wearing a thong and nothing else. She sprayed me everywhere that was going to show, except for my face. Then I did her the same way. Then we put on the costume helping each other with the top part. Strapping on our goddess sandals and doing each other's hair and makeup. We used two different yellow eyeshadows put on the eye liner making a cat's eye. Then adding a gold glitter over the eye shadow. Then we added the mascara and we added this shiny stuff to our entire face creating a glow. We had a light pink blush to our cheeks and then added a gold lipstick. 

        Everyone left by the time we got to our hair. We straightened each other's hair. We added hair glitter to each other’s hair. We spent a good two hours getting ready. 

        When we were done Jaime put the body spray and the face shiner in her purse and I grabbed mine. We went to the car and drove to this guy's place. 

        We made it fifteen minutes after the party had started. We got out and I locked the door. We both walked up and into the house when the man himself opened the door. He looked between the two of us.

        “Yes, we’re twins and wearing the same costume,” I said.

        “Good or I would think that this drink was much stronger than it was. I’m McHail, but you can call me Mickey,” he said letting us in.

        “I’m Jessica and this is my sister Jaime. You’ll probably confuse us through the night,” The house wasn’t packed, but there were a lot of Hunters in one room. Good thing I didn’t see Kanah or Jeremy’s parents. But Damien’s and Elias’s mother and father were here. Beatrice and Malikai (Mal-ek-eye). They were nice people and they raised their children. Some prominent Hunter families are either really strict or very loving and know how to be strict when it’s needed. They are like that. 

        We went around and mingled with other Hunters. I leave their costumes to your imagination. When I came upon the first man. It happened to be Daniel. He went stiff, but relaxed after a bit. Then his blue eyes darkened and swirled with lust.

        “Hey,” I went up to him.

        “Hey,” he whispered huskily. I made a half smile at his reaction. Daniel and David were both dressed as Soldiers. Theirs were authentic. They actually fought in world war one and two. Hunters had to because Demons were showing up on the battlefield during that time. I found out that during any war the bloodshed of men can actually summon demons to our world. It’s strange when I found out, but they have no idea why that happens. They fought for our country two times. The korean war, Vietnam war, and the cold war weren’t as bad as summoning demons.

        I talked to Daniel for a couple minutes then found David. I got the same reaction. We talked and then I moved on. I found all of the men and I had gotten the same reaction. 

        I finally found myself sitting at the bar drinking by myself. 

        “Hey, what are you doing bye yourself?” Mickey asked me from behind the bar.

        “I socialized enough and now I am taking a break and having a couple drinks.”

        “Thing’s must be complicated. Sorry, Charlie had told me about you and your predicament,” He said.

        “It is pretty complicated. I can’t be around the guys for too long or they might get a little handsy,” I said then took a sip of my cognac. 

        “How about you take a couple shots with me?” He asked.

        “Yeah that sounds fine,” he pulled a bottle down and poured two shots. We drank and the shots kept coming, and before I knew it I was lost.

Jaime’s POV:

        I had been talking with Elias and Jeremy. Jessie and I had separated long ago and before I knew it I had a couple of drinks and was getting buzzed. Dad showed up and was very disapproving of my costume.

        “Where’s Jessie?” Dad asked me.

        “I haven’t seen her in a while. We had gone our separate ways a while ago,” I said.

        “Did you both dress the same?” Dad asked me. 

        “Yeah,” I answered. We went around asking for Jessie until someone said they saw her at the bar doing shots with Mickey. We went to the bar and Mickey was pouring out drinks and shots for people.

        “Hey Mickey, have you seen Jessie?” I asked him.

        “Yeah, we had some shots and then sat and talked, then she went out back for some fresh air,” he said. That seemed suspicious though. She usually doesn’t go outside for fresh air by herself. Especially after she has had shots.

        “What kind of shots were you drinking?” I asked curiously.

        “We were downing tequila shots.” The moment the word tequila passed his lips I paled. Jessie and I one summer after our first year of college tried tequila again. We were alone in the house and I figured it would be safe. 

        I was totally wrong. After we had a couple of shots she disappeared only to find her outside trying to pet a racoon. She thought it was a cat, but the thing was hissing at her. She kept calling it a bad kitty every time it hissed at her. Finally I had to drag her back into the house and knock her out. So Tequila was off limits to Jessica indefinitely.

        “We need to find Jessie now,” I yelled sternly over the music that was playing.

        “Why?” Mickey asked.

        “Tequila makes Jessie want to go after wild animals,” I said and everyone was running toward the back. Grabbing the guys along the way. We checked around the house calling out to her. We looked high and low, but no sign of her. 

        Then I see her. She was walking out of the woods carrying something fluffy. She came closer and I noticed it. It was a mountain lion cub. I paled.

        Daniel was in front of her first.

        “Whatcha got there sweetheart?” He asked her.

        “I found this little kitty in the woods,” she said pouting. “There were more, but I could only carry this one.” She sounded so broken hearted and the guys seemed to go aw at that.

        “Honey?” Damien approached this time. I noticed how Daniel eyed him jealousy coloring his eyes. “This isn’t a kitty, honey. This is a mountain lion cub. It has a mommy and you really should return it back to where you found it.

        “But I want to keep the kitty,” she pouted. You could see it in all of their eyes now. It broke their heart to see her on the verge of tears.

        “Jessie, sweetie,” Anthony approached this time. “The mother will come find her cub if you don’t return the cub. That's her baby. Would you steal someone else's baby?” he asked her gently. We had to talk to her like talking to a child, because in her mindset with tequila she is.

        Before anyone could react though, a growl was heard from the forest. We all turned to see glowing eyes from the forest. The cub cried for its mother. She heard and slowly stalked toward Jessie. Jessie, however, was not scared. In fact she was excited. 

        Before anyone could grab her, she put the cub down and ran for it. It thought she was attacking, so it charged. It was the scariest sight. A 110 lb, five feet and six inch girl hugging a mountain lion while it was trying to scratch and bite her. All the while she was rambling.

        “Awww, such a cute kitty, such a big kitty, such a cuddly kitty. I’m going to take you home and I’m going to take care of you and cuddle you and play with you. We’ll be best friends. I’m going to name you Martha,” She kept rambling, but just like me everyone had a horrified look on their face. They were internally freaking out, but they watched in horror as the big cat almost clawed her face and got close to biting her, yet she was hanging on tight.

        Finally dad used magic to separate the two. He held the big cat in the air while pushing Jessie away from it. Anthony used wind and moved the cub to the mother and she was let down. She picked up her cub, taking one last looking and ran back into the forest. David ran and grabbed Jessie. He held her tightly so she couldn’t escape.

        I will tell you now and it may seem mean of me, but I recorded the whole scene to show Jessie first thing in the morning. We didn’t take her home, but each of the guys were with her for the entire night. The effects wore off, but she will never remember this night. We drank and had a good time.

        We all went home at one in the morning. The party was that good. I found Jessica in the corner lips locked with David at one point. I can’t be jealous since I think Jeremy might be pulling out of the race as well. I don’t think he really loves Jessie like a man loves a woman. I think maybe it’s because she was there in his darkest hour and she brought light to him. Jeremy doesn’t like me like that either. 

        I really like Elias, and I hope that maybe things between us can work out. Daniel was carrying Jessie into the house as dad and I followed him upstairs into her room. He laid her on the bed and left. His eyes were swirling with lust. 

        Dad and I changed her and gave her a sponge bath. I cleaned her makeup off her face and once done we put a nightgown on her. Then I went to my room. I washed the makeup of my face and washed that stuff off my body, changed and went to bed.

Jessica’s POV:

        I woke up the next morning with a massive hangover and no recollection of what happened after those shots I had. I put the pillow over my eyes to block the light from hurting them. I heard the door quietly open and I heard my curtains being shut. I removed the pillow to see dad and Jaime standing in my room in my dark room.

        “What happened last night?” I asked hoarsely.

        “Take this before we answer anything.” Dad handed me a black pill and a glass of water. I knocked back the pill and drank the water quickly. After a few minutes the pill took effect and I felt better. 

        “So what happened last night?” I asked again. Dad looked horrified and Jaime came forward with her phone. She played a video she had taken of me. The more the video played the paler I had become. I was horrified that I had done that. By the end of the video I just did not have any words.

        “Did Mickey give me tequila shots?” I asked.        

        “Yeah, and he watched this unfold, so he knows not to give you that next time. But you need to make sure to tell people to give you any other shot, except for tequila. All the guys watched in horror as you hugged the mountain lion. You were fine afterward, but the guys made it clear you had to stay by their side at all times. They took turns with you, though I did happen to cross you with David making out passionately in a corner,” she said and I paled again.         “Don’t worry though I won’t tell,” she gave me a genuine smile. So giving her the benefit of the doubt I believe her.

        That Ladies and Gentlemen is how I am when I have tequila. A night I will never remember.
