A Shadowlander's Dream: Book Two - Policy of Love
By Kathryn K Williams
Chapter Fifty
Kim kicked her feet behind herself as she lay next to Penny, she found her new life in the house was not as bad as she thought it would be and their studies were not displeasing either. She did received a crack across the knuckles with a wooden metre stick for getting a math question wrong, but other then that the lessons were easy. They were taught some math, science and now were reading a chapter of “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest”. Each girl took turns reading a paragraph at a time out loud while Penny snuggled in close to Kim as they shared the same book. Before they knew it the sun started its decent across the sky and Ma’am set down her copy of the book.
“Okay girls.” Ma’am clapped her hands to get their attention, “Time for bed.” She stood to her feet and started to retrieve the copies of the books from the girls when she came to Kim, “Kimberly, you can keep that copy overnight.” She told the girl, “Try to catch up to the rest of us quickly and do not stay up too late.”
“Alright, Ma’am.” Kim politely agreed and stuffed the paperback in her overall pockets.
“Wash up and I’ll come check on you in a moment.” Ma’am ordered as she guided the girls to the stairs when there was a knocking at the door, “That must be the boys. Come on, up those stairs.” She patted the last girls upon the butts to get them to hop up the stairs.
“The boys?” Kim whispered to Amber as she tried to get a peek at the door before heading to their room only to find the front door was out of view.
Amber let out a depressed sigh, “I was hoping that they would not show up today.” Amber muttered, hauling her feet up each step as if they were made of lead, “I hoped that you would get at least one day of sleep in this house before the nightmare begins again.”
“I don’t know. So far things seem alright.” Kim remarked, holding Penny’s hand as they walked down the hall to their room.
“You have yet to meet our brothers.” Sarah stated dismally.
Kim took one last glance down the stairs; she could hear the sounds of voices chatting down the hall but could not distinguish what they were talking about. She was curious to learn what these brothers of her’s were like and considered venturing back down to find out when Penny pulled on her hand and she turned to see Penny shaking her head in disapproval, that familiar fear in her eyes.
“Come one you curious puss.” Amber teased, “We need to brush our teeth or it’s off to the basement for us.”
“Alright.” Kim allowed herself to be pulled into the room where Caitlin and April were already busily brushing their teeth, “I don’t have a tooth brush.” Kim stated watching other others.
“You can borrow mine.” Penny offered.
“You sure?” Kim inquired uncertainly, “I mean you might get my germs.”
Penny laughed, “You don’t have germs.”
Amber stared at Penny, “Wow!! I’ve never heard you laugh before.” She stated in astonishment.
Penny blushed, “Yes, I have.”
Sarah shook her head, “No, Amber is right.” She glanced at Kim and smiled, “I thought you two were getting kind of close.” She said with a snicker, “First you are sharing the bed with her and now your toothbrush, shame shame.”
“It’s not like that.” Penny exclaimed a bright blush covered her entire face.
“Ahhh... You’re blushing.” Amber pointed out.
“Cut it out!” Penny jumped at Amber and the two girls tumbled to the mattress giggling and laughing as they tickled each other.
Suddenly Ma’am appeared at the door and glared down at the girls, “That is enough horsing around girl.” She demanded.
“Sorry Ma’am” Penny rolled off of Amber and got to her feet.
“I’m sorry, Ma’am.” Amber apologized and sat up on the mattress.
The woman scanned the girls for a moment before speaking, “Remember to wash your face and brush your hair before going to bed.”
“Yes, Ma’am.” The girls piped as one.
The woman pulled out a toothbrush from her pocket, “Here Kim, I forgot to give you this.” She handed the girl a toothbrush still in its package, “Now brush up and get some rest. Goodnight girls.”
“Goodnight, Ma’am”
The woman nodded and gave the girls a smile before closing the door and locking it.
Sarah grinned at Penny, “Too bad, Kim won’t get to use your toothbrush.” She teased.
Penny flushed again, “Leave me alone.” She demanded, seeing that April and Caitlin had finished with the sink she took Kim by the hand and headed for the washroom, “Our turn!” She announced before the other could protest. She quickly closed the door so the others could not enter and leaned against it.
Kim giggled as she looked at Penny, “You really are cute you know that?” She stated, “Even more so when you are blushing.”
“Don’t you start!” Penny glared at the girl then broke into a smile and laughed, “I really am glad you are here. I don’t know why but I feel safe around you.” She explained as she stepped up to the sink and turned on the water.
Kim smiled back at the girl, “I’m glad I’m here too.” She said as she opened the toothbrush package, “If not I would have never got to meet you.” She watched as Penny splashed water upon her face and picked up a bar of soap. Kim’s heart raced as the fact that they were alone together in such a small room began to set in. She licked at her lips as she tried to control her emotions. All day long she was struggling with urges to touch the girl. When they were laying together in the living room she had to control a temptation to place her arm around the girl’s waist and pull her in close. She could not understand what would make her feel this way. She was only eleven and had only kissed a girl once before as far as she could remember. What was making her feel the need to kiss this girl? She rubbed her head in frustration; feeling tears well up behind her eyes. She shouldn’t be feeling this way and yet she could not take her eyes off of Penny.
Penny dried her face and glanced at Kim, “Is something wrong?” She inquired, noticing how intensely the girl was watching her.
Kim shook her head and rubbed her eyes, “I... I’m sorry...” She stepped back until her leg bumped into the tub. She suddenly wanted nothing more then to be out of that room, she did not trust herself so close to Penny and did not want to hurt the girl.
Penny approached Kim only to have the girl recoil, “Kim?” She worriedly looked in the girl’s eyes, “What is wrong?” She lightly placed a hand upon Kim’s hand.
The softness of Penny’s touch broke the dam inside of Kim’s heart and she started to cry, “I’m sorry.” She sobbed, the desire to kiss Penny was growing so strong that it made her stomach hurt, “I’m sick...” She stated through the tears.
“Did you eat too much?” Penny probed placing a hand to Kim’s head in an attempt to check the girl’s temperature.
Kim’s mouth quivered against the girl’s touch and she felt as if her chest was on fire. She stared affectionately into Penny’s eyes and softly touched the girl’s cheek, “I... I’m sorry...” She whimpered then quickly leaned forward to place a kiss upon Penny’s lips.
Penny was taken aback by Kim’s actions and step back from the girl, her eyes filled with bewilderment. She blinked at Kim a few times as if she was trying to figure out what just happened then shook her head, “You...” She lightly touched her lips and stared at Kim, “I... it really was you... at the ball.... You kissed me.” She stammered in disbelief.
Kim’s face contorted as she tried to hold back another bout of tears, “I’m sorry... I didn’t mean to hurt you...” She reached out towards the girl.
Penny rubbed her head in confusion, “You’re my prince...” She stated in confusion, “My prince is a girl...”
Kim gave a weak smile, “I...” She could not find her voice, it felt as if a vice was clamped down upon her heart and twisting it. She clenched at her chest and let out an anguished sob, “I’m sorry...”
Concern overcame Penny and she rushed to the girl’s side, “Kim!!! What is wrong?” She inquired anxiously.
“I hurt you...” Kim mumbled, “I never wanted to hurt you.”
Penny shook her head in disagreement, “You didn’t hurt me.” She said pulling the girl into her arms, “You never hurt me. Just... surprised me.”
Kim gazed into the girl’s eyes, “R... really?” She inquired nervously.
Penny let out a sigh, “I always thought my prince would be a boy and he would rescue me from this place.” She remarked, and then glanced down at Kim, “I guess I should have known better considering the way my sister was.”
“Sister? The girls out there?” Kim inquired.
Penny shook her head, “Jessie was my real sister. We were together for as long as I can remember...” She face grew long, “Until today.”
“I’m sorry...” Kim let out a shaky breath, “I never knew she was your sister.”
“Guess she didn’t love me like I loved her.” Penny remarked miserably, “Or she wouldn’t have left me alone.”
Kim stared the girl in the eye, “You aren’t alone.” She reminded the girl, “I’m never leaving you.”
Penny looked into those red eyes with scepticism, “How can you promise that?” She asked.
“I do promise.” Kim stated firmly, “I won’t leave you and we’ll find your belt too.”
Penny blinked at the girl, “You remembered that?” She asked insecurely.
Kim nodded, “I promised I would find it and I meant it.”
Tears filled Penny’s eyes and she hugged the girl, “Thank you.” When she pulled back Kim was looking at her with love in her eyes.
“I...” Kim reached up to touch the girl’s face and pulled back, “I’m sorry.” She tried to control her heart and told it to stop pounding.
Penny brushed the back of her hand against Kim’s cheek causing the girl to shiver all over, “I’m not.” She leaned forward and kissed Kim. Lightly at first, then with more passion, quickly to two girls became caught up in the kiss as their tongues touched each other every now and then. Penny’s fingers moved through the short hairs at the back of Kim’s head causing her to tremble with pleasure. Kim hungered for more and she leaned into the girl causing her to roll onto the ground, the world around them forgotten.
The door suddenly opened and Amber gazed down at them in shock, “Penny?!?” She exclaimed.
Penny quickly sat up and wiped at her mouth, “I...” She glanced from Amber to Kim in embarrassment.
“What’s taking them so long?” Sarah inquired peeking into the room to see the Kim lying on the ground in front of Penny. She gave them a sly grin, “Well, what do you know.”
Penny quickly got to her feet; she could feel a flush covering her entire body and it made her want to hide, “I... Kim... Ummm....”
“We will not tell Ma’am.” Amber said, giving the girls a reassuring smile, “Right Sarah?”
Sarah shook her head in disbelief, “I never thought Penny had it in her.” She remarked with a smirk, “I always thought she was the straightest one of us.”
Penny sat heavily upon the edge of the tub and placed her head in her hand, “What have I done?” She inquired shaking her head.
Kim set a hand upon Penny’s leg, “You’ve not done anything wrong.” Kim stated.
Amber entered the room and sat down next to Penny, “It’s alright.” She gave the girl a tight hug.
Sarah smiled down at Kim, “So how does she taste?” She inquired causing Penny to abruptly look up at Sarah in shock.
Kim blushed and lightly touched her lips, “Wonderful.” She breathed feeling herself quiver at the thought of Penny’s kiss, “Like nothing I’ve felt before.”
Sarah knelt beside Kim, “Well just make sure you don’t get caught by Ma’am.” She warned, “She has a thing against gays.”
“Yeah, she will put you in the cupboard if she finds out.” Amber added with a shudder, “I hate that place, it’s worse then the basement.”
Kim gave the girl a perplexed look, “You like girl’s too?” She inquired.
Sarah laughed, “There’s an understatement.” She giggled, “I still remember how angry Ma’am was when she found out too.” She said unhappily.
“How did she find out?” Kim asked curiously.
“Jessie kissed her while they were cleaning up the yard.” Penny explained.
“Jessica?” Kim noticed a frown cross Amber’s face.
Amber forced herself to smile and ruffled Kim’s hair, “You’d better brush your teeth because if Ma’am does one of her surprise inspections we could all be sent to the basement again.”
“S... sorry...” Kim quickly search the floor for where she dropped her tooth brush and found it still partly in its package and quickly removed it.
Penny wrapped her arms around Kim from behind and hugged her, “Thank you.” She whispered into the girl’s ear.
Kim grinned, “I should be thanking you.” She looked at the girl lovingly.
Amber smacked Kim on the butt causing her to let out a small squeak, “Stop with the gooshy stuff and get to brushing.” She commanded.
“Yes Ma’am.” Kim responded and grabbed the toothpaste.
