In the first part of the morning, Nora and Kelly spend with the girls. There were chores around the house that each girl was assigned. Nora worked outside trimming the bushes and edging the sidewalk and walkway.

Since the weather was still nice outside, Nora wore shorts that looked like they belonged to a Hooter’s girl. For a woman nearing her fifties, she kept her body in tip-top condition. She wasn’t as developed in the chest area as her wife, but she still had a well-toned body.

She was wearing a dark tank top, and her bra straps were showing. They wouldn’t stay under the tank top straps.

“Hi, Mrs. Midnight.” Joey rides by on his mountain bike and waves to Nora.

A smile appears on Nora’s face as she waves back to him. He would be in high school soon and taking her government class. Nora goes back to work edging the sidewalk. After she finishes edging, she grabs the air blower and blows the dirt she removed back into the grass.

Out of all the lawns on her block. She has the nicest one. She puts much work into maintaining her lawn and keeping the scrubs and bushes trimmed.

“I got iced tea for your sweetie.” Kelly comes walking out of the house in a pair of shorts, saddles, and a tank top.

Her breasts bounced when she walked, even though she wore a nice underwire bra. Where Nora was slim, fit, and trimmed. Kelly was on the small end of plus size. She had wide hips and big breasts. She still had some curves in her figure, but she was more significant than Nora.

“Thanks, sweetie.” Nora kisses Kelly on the lips.

Kelly returns the kiss. Neither one of them cared if their neighbors saw them kissing each other. The last person complained ended with Nora
grabbing his testes and squeezing very hard. She let him see the coldness in her eyes and what she would do to him.

Most of Nora’s neighbors knew Nora was a school teacher. However, those that have been over to her house and invited in. They learned that she used to be a DSS agent as well. She’s retired from that profession, but she still has her skills.

“You’re welcome. So, are you still planning on going to Circe’s place?” Kelly knew nothing spooked Nora.

“Yes. I’m willing to trust her and see what she has gotten herself into.” Nora takes a sip from the plastic cup.

“Just be careful, sweetie.”

“Aren’t I always?” A smile appears on Nora’s face.

“No, you’re a trouble magnet.” Kelly knew trouble always managed to find Nora.

“I promise, no trouble today.”

“Better not.” Kelly gives Nora one more kiss before heading back into the house.

Nora watches as Kelly walks away from her. She loved how her ass moved in the shorts she was wearing. Nora gets back to work finishing her yard work. She was going to take a shower before heading over to Circe’s house.

Nora puts her tools and equipment away before going inside the house to get ready. She takes a nice hot shower and washes her hair. She knew Kelly was going to take the girls out for lunch. They deserve a treat for everything they have done.

It takes Nora about an hour to get ready. She waves goodbye to Kelly and the girls as she takes her mustang over to Circe’s place. She had her weapon with her, just in case, this wasn’t on the up and up.

The drive over to Circe’s place was uneventful. She pulls up to the wreath iron gate blocking the driveway. She presses the button on the small box, and a few seconds later, the gates open. As Nora pulls up the long driveway, she notices some people in the vast yard trimming and sculpting it as well.

She pulls her mustang on the other side of the truck that belonged to the lawn business. She gets out of the mustang and walks up to the front door of the mansion. Just as she reached to use the knocker on the door, it opened, and a big man with reddish blonde hair stood before her.

The man stood at least six foot seven inches tall and was well built. He looked like he was right out of one of her history books. He looked like he was of Scandinavian descent.

“Hi, I’m Nora Midnight. Circe invited me over for lunch.” Nora had to look up at the guy. She was five foot seven inches tall. Even if she wore her heels, she would still have to look up at this vast well-developed man.

Eric looks at the Hispanic woman standing before him. He could tell she was a dangerous woman. Death clung to her, but when he looked at her aura. It was a solid golden color with a few other colors thrown in. There were at least six cords attached to her aura as well. He knew from experience that she was a mother and the cords were her children. There was a silver color one that meant she had a mate.

He could tell she was pure Hispanic, and her ancient had a southern charm. He steps aside to let her into the house. He watches as she walks into the mansion. There was a grace to how she walked. It was like she was on the prowl for something.

Eric closes the door behind her. He looks at her ‘if you’ll follow me, please.”

“You first.” Nora could tell that this guy had military training from how he carried himself.

She wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t have special forces training. He didn’t carry himself like a mafia person or like some of the Russian soldiers she had met. She follows behind him, but not too close. She wanted to be prepared for anything.

The tiny hairs on the back of her neck stood on end when they passed by several huge paintings that were images of the former occupants of the house. He leads her throughout the house until they appear outside. She spots Circe, sitting in an old fashion wrought iron chair from long ago.

Sitting near her was a woman that looked like Princess Elsa from the Disney anime Frozen. She could pass as a twin of the female cartoon. She had long ice blonde hair.

Circe spots Eric and Nora walking towards her from inside the house. The fountain behind her was bubbling and shooting water up into the air and falling back into the pool. She stands up to greet Nora.

“Nora, I’m glad you could make it. I hope you don’t mind eating outside.” Circe reaches for Nora’s hand.

Nora accepts Circe’s hand. She gives it a gentle shake.

“Let me introduce everyone to you. This is Eric. He’s my boyfriend and magical partner. The young lady sitting on the other side of the table is my
companion, Anastasia. She’s my understudy and helper.” Circe smiles at Nora. But also tried to get across that Anastasia meant more to her.

A smile appears on Anastasia’s face as she waves at Nora. She could tell that there was more to Nora than meets the eyes. She takes a sip from her teacup.

“Please, let us sit down and eat first. Afterward, I’ll tell you why I need your help with our problem.” Circe escorts Nora over to the wrought iron table.

Eric pulls a chair out for Nora to sit in.

“Thank you.’ As Nora sits down. She notices she has Circe to her left and Anastasia to her right.

She watches as Eric walks around and sits directly across from her. She hears Circe ring a bell, and a few seconds later, two maids come walking out of the house. Both women wore outfits similar to the ones Melody had chosen for her company.

They didn’t expose any part of the body that they shouldn’t. But they did show off the women’s figures. Both women had shoulder-length black hair and brown eyes. One was a little bit more developed than the other one. They both were young and looked to be in their late teens or early twenties.

“Thank you, Misty.” Circe looks at the one who isn’t as developed as her partner.

Misty just smiles at Circe as everything is laid out. The two women make sure everything is placed within reach of each person. The glasses sitting at each place setting are filled with tea.

“Thank you, Misty and Beverly.” Circe looks at both women.

“You’re welcome, Mistress.” Both women turn and head back into the house.

Nora looks at Circe. “Mistress?”

“I don’t insist that they call me that Nora. It’s the way they were trained. I rescued them from a very bad person who did a lot more to them than you could imagine.”

“Oh, I can imagine a lot.” Nora has had her share of people like that.

“You sound like you have had to deal with some people like that, Mrs. Midnight?” Anastasia looks at Nora.

“Let’s just say I have met and dealt with people like that.” Nora glances back towards Anastasia.

“Let me guess, they are no longer among the living?” Eric looks at Nora for an answer.

“You could say that. I don’t take kindly to people who make slaves or sex slaves out of people.” Nora knew her mentor had her ways of dealing with people like that.

“Neither do I, Nora. Misty and Beverly serve me out of loyalty and love. I would protect them with my life, and I have told them I would help them if they chose to leave.” Circe looked at Nora, so she could see it in her eyes.

“I believe you, Circe. Otherwise, I would have taken your life a long time ago.”

“Why didn’t you take her life, Mrs. Midnight?” Anastasia looks at Nora for an answer.

“Because Circe was never given the choice to be trained like she was. The program trained her, and several other girls like her, took them from their families or out of the orphanages, and turned them into killers. Circe was only doing what she was trained to do. They programmed her and treated her like a robot. I knew she was more and spare her life.” Nora takes a sip of her tea.

“But some can say the same was done to you.”

“No, because I chose to do what I do. I can stop any day and not suffer a death warrant put on me or have to look over my shoulder for an attack.” Nora looks at Circe and is glad she hasn’t been killed yet.

“Thanks for the second chance, Nora. Why don’t I tell you why I need your help?” Circe looks at Nora to inform her of the mission she has.
