Chapter 13 – Unexpected Visitors

We both jumped and pulled apart, gasping. We looked at the door then each other and shared a chuckle. And we both jumped again at the abruptness of another three sharp knocks. Chuckling again, I bit my lower lip as I swung out of the bed and stood as the imp started toward the door. It was then that I noted I was in a nightdress, not my clothing. I must look a sight.

Wait... who had changed me. I blushed as I looked at her back... and her butt.

She opened the door then made a disappointed and frustrated sound and slammed it in the face of a man I didn't quite get a good look at. She spat out with venom, “Fuckin' assholes.”

I blinked, it was the first true curse I had heard from her, and it amused me to no end.

There was another set of loud knocks, and I heard a man's voice saying, “Thrice did he knock, then three times thrice, then did the changeling maiden deny him.”

Gretel just stood there glaring at the door with a sour look on her face, arms crossed defiantly. It was almost as cute as it was a clear indicator that she knew the person on the other side of the door and found him distasteful.

I saw the shadow of the man's feet still standing patiently on the other side of the door, unmoving. No more knocks came, and I stepped past the stubborn woman, letting my fingers brush her arm as I stepped past her. This caused her stern look to be replaced by an almost coy smile as she tucked some loose strands of her brunette hair behind her ear. I had to look away from the skin on the graceful neck which she had exposed. How I wanted to sample that flesh with my lips.

I opened the door, and the handsome man stepped past me quickly and into the room. I turned toward him, and before I could inquire, a second man who had a striking resemblance to the first pushed past us too, giving the tiniest of bows.

I opened my mouth to ask them who they were and what they wanted as Gretel hugged herself to my arm with both hands, shaking her head at the interlopers. Before I could utter a single syllable, the second man, who was just a bit taller than the first pointed at the top of the amulet which was just poking out above the neckline of the nightshirt and he asked incredulously, “That was not for you, what were you thinking? You've made a mess of everything and thrown it all out of balance.”

He noted my companion's dangerously narrowed eyes as she glared at him. He returned her gaze for a moment then seemed to deflate, and I saw a smile quirking at the corners of his mouth. He sighed and shook his head, “Ah... the changeling. We should have known you had a hand in this. Always stirring things up.
