The hivemind is conquering for me? Chapter 334 334: Short Lived Relationship

With Apollo raising his voice at her, Orchid panicked and began yelling about everything Keyla did wrong. Unfortunately, Keyla also began to yell what Orchid had done , leaving nothing to be heard but two shrill cries.

"Silence!" I yelled to stop myself from getting a headache. The two won ceased talking instantly and looked down obediently, awaiting my next words. I pinched my glabella for a mont before, without looking up, said. "Keyla, you start."

Keyla smiled devilishly. This was her chance to co up with so outrageous claims that could not be refuted as only Orchid was with her. "And If you lie, I will know and I will be very upset. Don't betray my trust. Either of you."

A cold bucket of water was thrown onto her plan before she sighed and began explaining the events leading up to the fight. I raised my eyebrow at Orchid when I heard what I did, but did not say anything yet.

After Keyla got up to the part of their battle, I held up my hand, indicating to her to stop. Turning my head to Orchid, I said. "Ok. Your turn Orchid." I was eager to hear the story from her side. Orchids story was similar, though she tried to butter up by talking how her mind was full of lust for at the ti and then how Keyla used that lapse of clarity after waking up to sexually assault her.

After now hearing both sides, the two of them stared at as an uncomfortable silence took over the room. 'Was he angry? Was he upset? Was he disappointed in them?' A thousand thoughts passed through the duo's minds as they watched Apollo, but they did not expect him to suddenly look up from the ground with a cheeky smile and his eyes closed into slits.

"Oh, so It was just a squabble between two girlfriends? Kissing each other right after waking up, so lewd. Bitches really do be crazy. To think a lovers dispute could get so violent... *Sigh* I will succumb to my fate and we can have an amicable breakup. You two continue to love each other. Okay? See you around." I then casually began to walk away whistling out of key as I went.

Orchid looked at Apollo's fleeting back then towards Keyla, mortified by what Apollo had just said. Unlike Keyla, she had not quite understood the jest in Apollo's impeccable 'acting' as a fear washed over her at the thought of Apollo being done with her.

Not holding back her strength one bit, Orchid leaped out of the water and charged Apollo over onto the ground, mounting on top of him and placing her head against his, looking deeply into his eyes, still wanting to get closer sohow as she yelled.

"Orchid does not mate with the Hybrid. Orchid loves you! Only you! Don't leave Orchid! She needs you! Her existence is nothing without you!" Orchid had beco hysterical, she was trying to cling onto so hard, her nails were scratching deep into my skin, causing to bleed.

I said her na softly, trying to get her attention, but she kept mumbling to herself. I tried again, but she just gripped my body tight, like I was going to try and escape from her. So one final ti, I yelled. "Orchid!"

Orchid sharply inhaled at my tone and began crying as she collapsed into my chest. 'Fuck ... This is what I get for trying to be funny.' As I began to stroke Orchids hair softly, Keyla walked over slowly, seemingly unsure of what to do.

Using my personal telepathy, I reached out to Keyla and probed. 'You knew I was joking just then right?' Keyla nodded her head silently after hearing my thought, making glad that I had not upset the both of them at least.

Using my empty hand, I beckoned her towards with a gesture to which she obliged. She then lay down and I now had one arm wrapped around each of them. "So, leaving my poor attempt at humour to the side, from what I gathered, while both being inebriated on the effects of my blood, you both engaged in minor foreplay thinking each other was ? Oh my cute little bug bites, you both are a serious pain fighting over that."

Since I currently had the option to do so, I smacked them on their respective rears and then squeezed, eliciting a gasp of surprise from the two of them. Orchid had stopped crying at this point, now realising I was not actually casting her aside. Her panic in the mont left her temporarily lacking in the brain departnt.

"That being said. The two of you were bad girls, fighting like that. The sweetheart Agitator that was looking after you said you nearly destroyed a nest pod with your flirting. The two of you need to be punished.

Orchid tensed up at the word punished. She had associated it with a horrid thing that was still on Apollo-minor. Feeling her go into rigor mortis while still alive, I squeezed her rear again and assured her.

"Don't worry love-bug. The stick is only for cris against the Apollo. You are safe, at least for today. What occurred between you two, as the Agitator said to , was an act of self harm. As such, I think a team building exercise, to make you two closer together again should do the trick for now...

Orchid perked up hearing say that. She recognised the tone. 'That's Apollo's bedroom tone!' Keyla picked up on Orchids sudden shift in body language and played along with Apollo.

"Oh yeah? What will you be having us doing then?" She asked, causing to raise my eyebrow before responding. "Well, since you two are now 'Girlfriends', it's only natural you do a couples activity together. Perhaps you will find said activity on the lower half of my body?"

Orchid frowned, she still did not like the joke, Apollo was the only mate for her, but she understood now it was simple teasing. anwhile Keyla winked at Orchid and played along. "Oh what do you think dear? Should we try to find our activity together? I am sure with the two of us working together, we will finish our activity in no ti."

Orchid stared at Keyla wordlessly before moving down my body, reaching her hands into my clothing and pulling out my mber. 'If Orchid has to share her favourite al with Keyla in order to appease Apollo, she will do so.'

After Orchid made her move, Keyla followed shortly after. The fight had left her extrely tired and hungry. A little snack at the Apollo machine wouldn't hurt and was in fact a heavily sought after treat.

...

Twenty minutes later, I lay with my hands underneath my head and I looked up at the ceiling with a smile on my face. The short relationship between Orchid and Keyla seed to co to an end after completing their task and as they snuggled up next to , they fell asleep.

That was natural as they still needed many hours until their healing was fully complete after all. Still, my mind raced with the thoughts of their fight. From the short amount I have learnt about Keyla's past since she ca out as a serial killer to , she was never really the combatant type. She was more a wolf in sheep's clothing, using her stature as a false sense of security to bait her targets.

Sure she could fight, but that was not how she got things done. Yet in her Bloodfiend form, she was able to go head to head with a drunk Orchid for hours who definitely would not have been holding back.

It made think about the sheer aptitude for combat and killing that big bloody form of hers could have. The smile on my face widened as my pet projects kept on expanding. I had not even continued my investigations on Zircon's capabilities to absorb blood from slain foes and yet I had even more things that I wanted to study and experint with now.

'Well, as long as I don't die while out and about, I will eventually beco a true immortal, so it's not like I won't have ti to do everything' It was a pleasant feeling knowing that my short few months out of the hive had given so much to do.

Although I missed Jewel dearly during that ti and was planning on coming back by now anyway, even without my Psionic decay playing a factor. I felt that while I was still in my Psionic infancy, It was a good idea to continue this trend of back and forth to new places as apart from the new things added to my to do list, the growth both personally and Psionically had been an amazing experience.

As my mind settled on just enjoying the embrace of my partners, I stared at the ceiling and it made think about one of my friends, causing to question myself. 'Why would a ceiling make think of Mindy?'

Suddenly, as though thinking her na caused a jumpstart in my brain, I squird in discomfort as I annoyed myself with my forgetfulness and proceeded to murmur to myself.

"Ah those bloody light crystals from that cave! I wanted to see if I could grow so real grass here. Bah! I forgot to ask Kat for them as I was just happy at the ti to get my Dino nuggies... Mmmh Dino nuggies... When that chef made that al for the three of us... I think I will make those tomorrow now that I am ho…" Read exclusive adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
