[Chaos Echo]

Really? No comments on the previous chapter? Well then.

Chapter 19

________________________________

?Really, Tuicia, it?s not as bad as you make it out to be.? ?Madame, Ah do not want to talk about it anee furzher.? ?Well, whatever. If your ?special someone? is really as perfect as you want him to be, he?ll accept what you did.? Tuicia wasn?t particularly listening, and was instead scanning the houses as they drove by them. ?It said she lives around ?ere somewhere? oh! Zere it is!? She slowed Cecily?s car. ??ow should we go in?? ?Hunh? I?d say stop at the side of the road here. Pulling into her driveway might be a little creepy.?


Tuicia did so, and the two women exited the vehicle. Carline looked in the house?s windows. ?Huh. Curtains are shut. Wonder why.? ?Natalee did say zat she could not ?andle sunlight?? ?But the lights are off too.? ?Per?aps no one is ?ome?? ?If they aren?t, I?m just leaving now.? ?Madame! Stop being so? so mean!? ?Bah.? She strolled down the driveway, Tuicia behind her, and they both stopped at the front door. Carline rang the doorbell. Both waited for a few minutes, but there was no response. ?Nothing.? Tuicia wasn?t discouraged so quickly though. ?Bonjour? Est-ce qu?il y a quelqu?un ? la maison? Est-ce que J?rmafi Laurent est ici??


This time came a voice, that of a woman. ?Non! Va-t'en!? Carline turned to Tuicia. ?Translation?? ?She said to go away.? ?Great. So she doesn?t want our help.? ?But she needs it.? Tuicia turned back to the door. ?S?il vous plait, si vous ?tes J?rmafi, nous voulons seulement vous aider.? The voice returned, this time louder, as though the speaker was on the other side of the door now. ?Je m?en fou! Partez!? Tuicia was still persistent in her efforts, though. ?S?il vous plait, Mademoiselle Laurent, nous pouvons aider! Nous-? ?Je ne veux rien savoir! Allez-vous-en! Partez! Foutez le camp d?ici! Je vais appeler la police!? The woman was rather aggressive and angry sounding in that last statement, and so Tuicia didn?t press any further. Footsteps were heard that went away within the house.


?So?? ?J?rmafi, she does not want our ?elp? at all?? She seemed disheartened by this turn of events. ?So??? ?Ah do not know, Madame! Ah was not expecting ?er to be like zis!? She snapped, and then quickly looked apologetic. ?S-sorry. But we cannot just leave ?er like zis, not when you can fix ?er!? ?You know what we?ll do then?? ?What?? ?We?ll break in.? ?Madame! Zat is not a reasonable solution at all! ?ow could you suggest-?


But Carline was ignoring her, and had already unlocked and opened the door. ?Madame! No!? Carline stepped inside, and looked around. It was dark in the house, all windows covered and all lights off. She turned to flip a light switch she?d noticed out of the corner of her eye, but was instead met with a sword in her face. The wielder of it was hidden in the darkness. ?Qui ?tes-vous?? ?Mademoiselle J?rmafi, non!? Tuicia had come in now and had just seen what was going on. ?Ne lui faite pas de mal!? She said urgently. ?La ferme! Vous ?tes la criminelle dans cette maison!? J?rmafi spat at her. She adjusted her sword to be able to strike either of them if they should move. ?Qui ?tes-vous?? She repeated.


?Tuicia, tell her that I can?t-? ?You don?t need to tell me anything,? J?rmafi said in clear, perfect English. ?I know your tongue. Who are you?? Slightly relieved that she could speak to her directly, Carline spoke the cover she?d come up with. ?I?m Clarice Pajuli. I?m a sorceress, and-? ?Another of you, then? What more do your kind want to do to me? You?ve already permanently scarred me!? ?No! We want to help you!? ?Help me?? There was a silence, during which the sword held steady. ?What would you gain from that?? ?N-nothing! I?ve just been told that you?re in need, and I want to help!? There was another silence. The sword slowly moved sideways, past Carline?s neck, and it hit the wall. After scraping against it a few times, it contacted the light switch, and J?rmafi raised it, turning on the light.


Natalie had not been exaggerating. Standing there was a woman in her low thirties, wearing lounging clothes of muted colors, but against her they almost looked vibrant. J?rmafi?s skin was paper white, as was her short hair, and her eyes a very pale blue. J?rmafi was squinting at them, looking as though she was putting in much effort to see them. She returned her weapon to its place of pointing at them. ?Do you see what your kind have done to me?? ?Don?t blame us all for one bad apple! You?re a sorceress yourself, aren?t you?? ??yes.? ?But I?m offering to fix it! I can?t restore your color, sorry, but I can restore your sight and skin!? J?rmafi?s sword relaxed slightly. ?Is that so? How do I know you?re not lying, that you?re not sent by Gartave to do something else to me? Can you prove it?? ?N-no, I? I can?t.?


At that, to Carline?s surprise, the weapon went down to the floor. ?Good.? ?What?? ?You didn?t have some excuse, some made-up alibi as to why you couldn?t be working with her. Because there is no solid way to prove something like that. Instead, you were honest.? She sheathed her sword. ?And if you break into my house, and directly address me instead of trying to skulk around, clearly you have intense desire to speak to me.? She paused as she considered. ?Or perhaps, something else.? J?rmafi gripped the hilt of her sword again. ?No, no! Just want to help you!? ?And how can you prove that?? ?If we?d wanted to harm you, I think I well could have already. I am a powerful sorceress after all.? ?Aye, that?s true.? J?rmafi walked over to a set of couches around a table, using her sheathed sword to poke around. She flopped down in one. ?I can tell, though, that Clarice is not your name. So I ask why you feel the need to give a false one.?


Carline and Tuicia also went over, but remained standing. ?I?m? well, uh? a name?s not important. I?m trying to anonymously be a do-gooder.? J?rmafi didn?t seem convinced by her lie, but didn?t press the issue either. ?Why me? Of all the people who you could be helping, why me?? ?Well, it was mostly Tuicia?s idea.? Tuicia waved shyly. ?Ah ?ad ?eard from one of ze former employees of ze brozhel zat you no longer are active as a Knight?? ?So what?? ?Ah don?t want you to be dis?eartened because of one incident? an organization like ze Knights, you should be out being a ?elp to everyone!? ?Fuck them. My superior doesn?t give a crap about my condition. Goddamn Dame Lynnley doesn?t care about what happened to me at all, only how much productivity I have.? ?So maybe it is just ?er! ?ave you tried getting anozher superior?? ??no.? J?rmafi admitted.


?I just wanted to try being a contributor to society by joining? and on my first mission, this happens? The world is a sick joke. It clearly wasn?t meant to be.? ?Dame J?rmafi!? Tuicia said. ?Zat is nozhing close to a proper mindset for a Knight like yourself! What ?appened to doing ze right sing, regardless of personal costs? Zat is one of ze sings zey swear by!? ?How do you know any of that?? ?Ah? may ?ave tried to apply for zem once?? J?rmafi sat and reconsidered it after hearing Tuicia?s passionate responses to her.


??alright then. Fine. If you?re so bent on this? If I can really trust you, sorceress? what have you got for me?? Carline came in front of her, looking down at her. ?I?ll need you to-? ?I will do whatever I please. You?re an intruding sorceress who broke into this house, and I have every right to be mistrusting, regardless of how sincere you seem.? Carline crouched down, and rolled up J?rmafi?s sleeve while she carefully watched. She placed her hands on J?rmafi?s arm. Her hands glowed, and a bit of magic departed them and went into her. ?That should do it,? Carline said. ?You should be able to handle sunlight now.? J?rmafi eyed her suspiciously. ?And how can I trust that it?ll work?? ?I?ll do the other part too. Then you?ll know.?


Carline put her hands to J?rmafi?s face, and the latter immediately gripped the hilt of her blade. ?N-no, no! Relax! I?m just doing this for potency!? Again her hands shone, and J?rmafi closed her eyes. ?This one feels very nice, Clarice?? ?I needed you to relax, y?know.? She then put in the real spell, and removed her hands. ?Now open them.? J?rmafi did so, and gasped. ?I-I can see you!? She quickly turned her head to face Tuicia. ?I can see you too!? ?There,? Carline said smugly. ?Trustworthy enough?? J?rmafi jumped up from the couch. ?Y-yes, thank you!? She ran into another room. Carline actually felt pretty good about this. ?The hell did I waste nine years of my life doing instead of things like this?? J?rmafi returned in short order. ?I?m still all pale, but? I can see again? I?d thought it was over with Gartave? you must be powerful?? ?So I?ve been told.? ?This is? incredible?? Tuicia cleared her throat. ?So, are you going to go back and return to ze Knights?? ?O-of course! Then maybe I?ll get a chance to get back at that Gartave bitch!? Carline looked at the happy woman. She seemed much more confident now. ?If you want, I can come back again, and try to fix your color?? ?Thanks, but? I?ll see if I can get Dame Fuleine to do it.? ?No, really, I?m sure Tuicia will bug me if I don?t.? ?It?s fine. Honest.? She suddenly got a look on her face like she?d thought of something. ?Actually, there is one thing??


J?rmafi had gone to being rather quiet and reserved after the last line. ?Girl-to-girl here, Gartave did do something else to me, but? it?s really embarrassing.? ?How so?? ?Well, um?? J?rmafi hesitated, and began to blush a little. ?Gartave? she made it so that?? She trailed off. ?I-it might be easier to just show you.? She grabbed the bottom of her shirt, and pulled up. ?J?rmafi! What?re you??? J?rmafi stopped and let her shirt rest above her chest, her average-sized breasts sitting in their bra. Of note was that her nipples were rock hard, showing clearly through it. ?She made it so? um? well, my nipples are constantly like this now. And I?m always the smallest bit aroused, all the time. Sometimes it even gets more intense, and I have no choice but to? but to? yeah.? ?I see?? ?What is the point of them doing this? Why did she do that?? ?I don?t know; I?ve never met her.? ?Well? can you fix it?? Carline stared at the perfectly white mounds. ?I don?t mean to brag (I really don?t; it?s kind of strange), but I actually have become pretty familiar with breasts??




J?rmafi waved the two goodbye, as they headed off to, ?Clarice? said, a motel or something for her and her friend to stay at overnight before they returned home. How nice of them, J?rmafi thought, that they would just show up and be miracle workers like that. And quite chatty the both of them. They?d all sat and talked for hours. J?rmafi wasn?t sure how, seeing as they were strangers to her. But by now the sun was setting, which meant Penelope should be getting home from her job soon. However, J?rmafi couldn?t wait that long to tell her the news. She immediately got on the phone.


?Penelope!? ?Yes? What is it, J?rmafi?? ?You?ll never guess what happened today.? ??um? did you go all day without running into anything?? ?Better.? ??went all day without running into anything, and didn?t confuse your toothpaste with-? ?No! It was amazing! These women came by!? ?Did you let them in?? ?No, they kinda came in by force.? ?Oh my god! Did you fight them off?? ?No, they weren?t hostile. They actually? Penelope, I can see!? ?What?? ?One of them, she was a sorceress! She fixed me!? ?J?rmafi, that?s incredible! Quick, read me the grocery list!? J?rmafi grabbed it and started reading. ?Oeufs, lait, boeuf-? ?Holy shit! That?s amazing!? ?And she fixed my skin problem too! ?or so she claims.? ?Did she fix? um? that one?? ?Yes, actually! Or, she said she did. She did it last thing before she left. She left me a note to read about it in case something goes wrong.? Suddenly she felt a light tingling in her chest. She gasped excitedly. ?A-actually, I think it?s happening now!? ?That?s great, J?rmafi! Anyway, I should be home in a few minutes. I can?t wait to see you, with how happy you sound! Bye!?


Penelope hung up the phone, and so did J?rmafi. She sighed a happy sigh. She would go back to the Knights first thing tomorrow, and then she could get her revenge on Gartave. The feeling in her breasts was wonderful too, and she debating having a little fun with them, but decided against it, since Penelope was due home shortly. Instead she opened the fridge and grabbed the milk jug, and poured some into the empty glass on the counter. She lifted it to drink, and gave her breasts a light feel with her other hand. ?Soon, you?ll go back to normal too? seems such a waste to not do anything with them now, though.? But then she froze.


Beneath her hand, her breasts felt distinctively larger. She set down her glass, and checked them out with her other hand too. It confirmed it. She grabbed both and held them up. She could feel that they were the smallest bit heavier, and see that they were the smallest bit bigger. ?What is this?? Now, as she held them, she could even feel their slow growth. ?How is this possible!?? She yelled to no one. Then she remembered the note her guest had left her. J?rmafi quickly snatched it up and began reading the text, taking a moment in her head to switch to English.


?Do not worry,? it said, ?when your breasts get a bit bigger. It?s the only thing I could think of to fix your nipple/arousal problem, and trust me, big boobs are quite nice.? ?What.? The Knight thought. ?She knows a spell to make breasts bigger?? She looked down at herself, as her breasts continued their slow expansion. ?There?s not much use fighting it? might as well deal with it.? She pulled down her shirt, as it had slightly come up from her growing mammaries. She grabbed her glass of milk again and downed it, and set it back on the counter. Then she turned her attention back to her chest. ?Wow? this feels great?? She grabbed one, and began to softly feel it. ?Oh my??


The sorceress may have promised that J?rmafi?s constant horniness would be at an end afterwards, but right now, she felt pretty good. She went over to one of the couches, sat down, and began to grope herself. ?Ohh? this is amazing? I wonder how big they?re gonna get?? Even now, her formerly non-notable breasts were taking on a nice size and shape, and so her self-fondling intensified a bit too. Her shirt was tightening, and she thought the feeling was wonderful. She could also feel her breasts slowly coming out of the cups of her bra, the feeling of the undergarment going down them turning her on more. ?Oh yes? d-don?t stop??


She made a bit of a detour to help push it off while she felt herself, and was satisfied when she felt her bra go down her torso and rest at her hips. It lay there, exposed from her lack of shirt down there, since that was being pulled up again. J?rmafi stuck one of her white hands up under her shirt and began stroke her breast from beneath, and it felt even more wonderful like that. So, she grabbed the bottom of her shirt and pulled it up, fully exposing her milk-white bosom. Her nipples were large and erect, and unlike the rest of her, they had the very faintest bit of pink to them.


She lightly squeezed the bumps, trying still to find a balance between enjoying herself with this and yet not losing herself. Her breasts grew ever larger all the while, ramping up how good it felt. She opened her eyes, and looked down at herself, and they went wide with surprise. She hadn?t been paying any attention to exactly how big her breasts were getting, and they were now quite large, DDs at the least. ?N-no, stop, stop!? J?rmafi grabbed them and flattened them against herself. ?Stop growing, damn you! I need to be able to fit in my armor!?


But even then they pushed against her. ?Shit. Shit!? She stood up, now more worried than aroused. Her breasts were getting into the fake-looking-surgery-enhanced size now, nearing her head, but she felt their softness beneath her hands, and they were all too real. She hurried over to the note, hand over her bosom to keep it from moving too much. She grabbed it off the counter and read it again. ?This is more than just a bit bigger, damn it!? But as she swore, she felt her breasts come to a sudden stop. She looked down at her engorged breasts. They were huge, perfectly white, and jiggly. She hefted one as a test. They were pretty heavy, too. ?How am I gonna get my breastplate on now?? J?rmafi lamented.


She looked down at the note again, and noticed that there was more writing on it now. ?So, I may have made them more than a bit bigger.? It now said beneath the previous text. ?Sorry about that; it?s a perversion of mine. If you don?t like them, though, I?ll fix them when I?m there to fix your albinism. It?ll be fun ♥? And then beneath it was written a simple ?~Carline?


J?rmafi slammed her fist into the countertop, sending her impressively-sized mammaries moving. ?Goddamn sorceresses! Always some catch with them!? She froze again as she heard the click of the front door unlocking, and it opening. ?Hi, J?rmafi, I?m back. How are you doing?? The Knight turned without thinking, showing her heaving breasts and her naked colorless torso, and the former jiggled nicely from the movement. ?Oh! I?? Penelope?s eyes bulged out of her head. ?J?rmafi? what did you??? The blonde sputtered. ?I? well?? J?rmafi grabbed for one, trying to cover the most offending part. As she did, she noticed something. ?H-hey? at least my nipples aren?t hard anymore!?

___________________________________

In the context of the story, all speech and thought after Carline and Tuicia leave should be in French. So use your imagination.

And speaking of French (once again thanks to DevonCory for the translations), here's what they were saying:

At the door- "Hello? Is anyone home? Is a J?rmafi Laurent there?"

The exchange between Tuicia and J?rmafi at the door -
"Please, if you are J?rmafi, we only want to help you."
?I don?t care! Leave!?
?Please, Miss Laurent, we can help! We-?
?I don?t care! Go away! Piss off! Get the hell away from here! I will call the police!?

J?rmafi just kept asking who Carline was when they were inside, and

Tuicia and J?rmafi when sword was to Carline -
?Do not hurt her!?
?Shut up! You are the criminal in this house!?
