Prisons and Palaces Pt2 Ch17Driving like a bat out of hell once again, I made it back to the castle in record time, and found Grim, requesting he change me back immediately. I didn't give him time to ask me any questions before rushing into the bathroom and taking care of my business and soaking in a hot tub before emerging about 30 minutes later, my hair in a halfway decent state and my pajamas, robe, and slippers on. I felt much better now physically, but mentally my mind was still racing."So?" Grim said, sitting in my throne room and obviously having waited all that time for me.I recounted what had occurred. "It was a little different than what I intended, but in
Prisons and Palaces Pt2 Ch16"Yeah, how might you do that? Why would I ever trust you, you two lowlifes are practically a matched set. A zig and a zag, a to and a fro...a back and a forth. Get the idea?" Mindy stared at me with narrow eyes and pursed lips. I felt like she was going to order her goons on me at any moment. Careful wording and posturing was needed if I was to pull this off. I just hoped she didn't have an imposter detector here like in her castle! I didn't hear anything, and no security types came rushing in, so I pressed on and acted like Billy as best I could."Well, get this idea, me an' Grims thought we'd RESCUE you when Spider Mandy was about to turn
Prisons and Palaces Pt2 Ch15By now my temper was dangling by a thread, so I knew I'd have to get out of there before I did something...rash...as Grim would put it. This was too much to put anyone through, though, and Mindy had gone too far. But if she wanted to play these games, then I was going to show her that no one messed with me!After putting the photos on the coffee table, barely fighting off the urge to rip them up, I turned back toward Billy. "Well, I apologize for the mixup. I had thought my lady Mindy had been here. I will now take my leave." I stood.Billy stood, too. He was still acting abnormally giggly and I had noticed he'd gone back to a very half ass
Prisons and Palaces Pt2 Ch14"What was your name again?" Billy looked at me curiously, but I wasn't too concerned. The look had no suspicion, and why should it, my voice had changed as well.""My dear young man, I'm called Isabel, and my Lady Mindy has requested that I come here to search for a valuable family heirloom, an earring that she thinks she dropped here." I took a peek over Billy's shoulders and commented, "I'm sorry, did I perchance interrupt you? Were you cleaning?""Well...um...Isabel, you can call me Billy, and I was cleaning kinda, but it wasn't for searching. Are you sure Mindy came here, and not to my friend Mandy's instead?" He nodded towards my apart
Prisons and Palaces Pt2 Ch13I coughed, and I was sure my eyes were as wide as saucers. I felt embarrassed being taken off guard like this in front of my subjects, but I had to admit, it had...taken me off guard. Not that it was THAT surprising, and it did help reinforce that I had been right about Billy all along. But to hook up with Mindy of all people? Someone we BOTH despised and had just fought against? Then again...Mindy was really MY enemy, and maybe that was the point. Billy would get with her just to push my buttons a little more. Now my shock was being replaced with anger, and from the look on Grim and Irwin's faces, they could tell it too."Maybe we should ju
