Erica's little edible has an unforeseen side effect
PG-13 | OPEN TO MULTIPLES
When Erica woke up that morning, the last thing she expected to see was a treat seemingly waiting for her. Not just her, but one for Cora as well. Did she touch Cora's treat? No. Did she think about it? Absolutely. Cora didn't seem like the type that would indulge like she liked to, but to be fair, most people didn't understand what it was like to be able to indulge after not being able to for the majority of her human life.
"Indulge" took on a whole new meaning, however, when the newly eighteen-year-old found herself shedding her clothing as if it were no big deal and looking down at herself. Clothes were so boring. And constricting. She'd much rather be naked, anyway. Wasn't that what nature intended, after all? There were very little secrets when one was naked. They were unguarded. Free for the world to see in a sense.
It was nothing after that for the blonde to make her way out of her room and wander along the hallways of the hotel itself. She'd already stopped in the billiards room and played a game of pool, made her way into the kitchen for another apple — apples were the best —, and popped her head into the game room to see what was there.
It was nearing three in the afternoon, however, when she found the pool. The lovely, beautiful, pristine pool that didn't look like anyone had been in it yet. And didn't that just beat all?
Grinning, Erica struck out another line in her mental bucket list of things to do now that she could, and ran at the side of the pool itself. Leaping once she'd found the edge, she tucked her knees up to her chest, wrapped her arms around them, and cannonballed straight into the deep end.
It was fresh.
It was exhilarating.
It was perfection.
As she pushed up from the bottom of the pool, Erica smoothed the mass of hair that sat atop her head back and breathed in the air and chlorine around her. And, while it took a couple of tries to remember exactly how to move in the water (she'd learned before the Epilepsy hit... but that was so long ago now), it was almost like riding a bike.
Before long, Erica moved through the water as she had when she was younger, enjoying the feel of it parting around her form and cooling the body that now ran at a higher temperature than most humans.
There was no description that the blonde could come up with other than "heavenly" and she didn't see herself getting out for quite a good while. If anyone showed up, they'd just have to enjoy the pool with her or go about their way. For now... this was where she lived.
