Fight Club With lauronica_mars

[countess_karnstein]

After Lara had left the apartment Ella spent the next few hours trying to process everything that had happened in the previous twenty-four. She contemplated the rescue and how she couldn’t leave Lara to the hands of those mind wiping idiots that operated against her rules. Then how Lara couldn’t follow simple instructions and always tested her patience with added frustration. It would have been much easier to wipe out the club and the students effected, blame it on animal attacks or hide the bodies. The security team and clean-up crew were always at the ready to covertly handle the problems she might have but when Ella ordered the students to be saved the silence from her staff was almost deafening.

The vampire Dean known to be uncaring was suddenly sparing lives. The news of this whispered amongst her staff and found its back to the board quicker than intended. Within a couple of days even Mattie had called, wondering if Ella was starting to go soft. Still Ella didn’t back down, she kept her promise to Lara and all lives were saved. Students blissfully unaware of just how much danger lurked around them on the campus.

Within a week Ella made sure that Lara’s friend was safely returned to their dorm. Her vampire subjects posing as students delivered LaF directly to Lara’s room. Meanwhile Ella kept her distance and spent the remainder of her time being extra cold and ruthless to students to compensate for people thinking she had a heart. On one of her particularly bad days she was conversing with a science teacher outside of the department and out the corner of her eye she watched Lara walked across the grass with her friends. In that moment the person talking to her had no idea clue their words were going in and straight out the other side.

She would have contacted Lara sooner but the girl had seen and experienced a lot. Ella thought it was best to give her some space at least to adjust to finding out the supernatural was real and more around her than most people know.

Thankfully towards the end of what felt like the longest of weeks, it was time for their date. Ella had the location and time and no idea what to expect. Instead of her usual smart and expensive looking attire she dressed down to her favourite black leather jacket, grey tight jeans with high rise boots where the heels complimented every step of her walk in the best of ways.

She drove to the location, far away from anyone recognising who she was and after navigating a few streets there was couple of bouncers outside a black matted door between a bar some sort of closed building. It was the only logical place it would be and a simple flirt with the guards got her in without any fee to pay. Inside the metal steps echoed the further down she went, eventually leading to a well lit room where a large overweight man sat picking food out of his teeth.

“Been here before?” He grumbled, barely looking over his computer monitor. Ella was about to answer when he cut her off. “You place a bet, you lose, your problem. You start a fight and its game over. Only fights happen in the ring, outside of that you’re banned sweetcheeks.” There must have been a button the other side of his desk as the metal door to the side opened and noise erupted from the inside. It was as if he opened the door to a metal concert. The music boomed, people were cheering and Ella couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

She wouldn’t have expected that under the streets a venue like this could exist but there had to be at least hundreds of people from ground level all up on different tears and platforms huddled together around this one circular caged ring in the centre. The instant smell of blood filled the air, causing her to look directly into where two women were fighting inside the cage. Both covered in blood and bruises.

In order to curb the cravings and distract herself, Ella did the smart thing and headed for the bar. In between ordering a drink she text Lara. ‘Come find me at the bar? X”

Comments

Ella glared at her. “What the big deal is? The big deal is you are new to magic and you’re already trying to alter yourself and only because you don’t want to break a bone?”

[lauronica_mars]

Lara matched Ella glare for glare. "I'm new to magic and the weakest in the class, and leave about half of them feeling utterly drained while almost all of them are making cosmetic enhancements. Physically I'm tiny and can't even last more than three rounds against one drugged up bitch my size. I'm going out with an ancient vampire who has a collection of enemies I don't even understand." Her voice rose almost to a shriek. "And now I'm being told off because I'm doing something to prevent part of my body failing if I get into trouble that's subtle enough that no one will notice it?"

She stalked across the room, circling. "What exactly do you think I should do? Stay safe by staying your dungeon on my knees asking what you want as my mistress? And never daring to go out?" She turned to glare at Ella, stalking towards her. "You'd get bored of that almost as fast as I would!"

[countess_karnstein]

When Lara got out of bed Ella wondered if she was in pain at all but the thought was fleeting once she got her words out.

She sat calmly on the edge of the bed watching Lara. One leg crossed over the other she was incredibly composed which was also deadly. Besides Mattie this was the longest debate she had had with someone without hurting them. “Do you think I would be with you if you were weak? I don’t want to lock you away in my dungeon and hide from danger Lara.”

She sighed. “You’ve shown more ability than most of the class. You’ve progressed further than anyone who has chosen light magic since...I don’t even remember a time a student has shown potential.”

Ella got up and headed towards the kitchen to pour herself a drink. As it was open plan she could still keep her attention on Lara. “I wish you had told me you were going to do that kind of spell. You’re altering your bones because being with me puts you in danger.”

[lauronica_mars]

Lara winced as she sat down on the bed, the slight adrenaline rush fading. "No I don't think you'd be with me if I were weak. But that's not at all the same as being strong enough to keep up in Silas. And I may be strong for a light witch, but half the teachers think that light witches are supposed to be healbots. And that I'm just a very weak dark witch." Because there was nothing to learn of light magic from someone with that attitude.

"And stop flattering yourself, Ella." There was a smirk on Lara's lips. "You may be a drop dead sexy vampire but I didn't dress as a lab tech and go exploring in the Alchemy Department for you. Being me and at Silas puts me in danger on its own. And I'm altering my bones because it's one of the few places I can actually improve on nature."

[countess_karnstein]

The second Lara told her not to flatter herself Ella nearly broke the glass of blood in her hand.

She was still angry and kept her distance in the kitchen. Her hands now proper her up on the countertop. “If you are a weak dark witch, so what? If the teacher says anything you tell me. Focus on the light side and use it to your advantage.”

The milk carton soon ran out of blood and she was unable to shake anymore. Ella looked up at Lara sitting on the edge of the bed having semi recovered from a bearing. “You should lay down and rest. I’ll make you something to eat.”

[lauronica_mars]

Lara rolled her eyes. "Focus on the light side she says. And when I do focus on the light side I get this."

Her voice turned soft. "Ella? How many witches have you ever met who have used the light side to fight? Ever? And of those how many told you a thing about their combat strategies other than that they used divination and larger circles than dark witches can ever manage?"

[countess_karnstein]

She chose to ignore the comment and started to bang around the kitchen making food the hell of it. “You get this because you jumped into a fight for some guy.” She said through gritted teeth.

“I’ve never let a white witch live that I’ve met. They are just as dangerous as dark, just as powerful. If you want proof I’ll get Ads back here. She’s the one who healed you. Her kind are considered grey. They practice both but remain as neutral as possible. She can teach you magic and the things you can do with it. Maybe guide you.”

That was one big step for Ella to mention, even suggest but it just came out.

[lauronica_mars]

"If she's a healer of course she's grey." Lara smiled. "Using light magic on cancer or parasites is just bad. And that would be wonderful. I'm having to work it all out as I'm going along." She paused. "But I'd say about half of what's written in those books of yours about light magic is deliberate misinformation by light witches to make sure dark ones try to fight them in the least effective ways possible. With just enough in there that's true to both be misleading and give pointers for light witches."

She laughed. "Especially the advice to break a light witch by destroying them in front of as big an audience as possible. Or to neutralise them by taking them to somewhere chaotic like a waterfall or an active volcano."

[countess_karnstein]

“I don’t know much about that. Mattie was always clued up on the magic side of things. She prefers the dark but she does have knowledge of light. Maybe you two should talk.” Although not calming down Ella noted Lara had already started reading the books left by her mother, that was impressive.

“Soon you’ll be able to heal yourself.”

[lauronica_mars]

"Ella?" Lara's voice was soft and slightly vulnerable. "Can I have a hug please?" She could feel Ella still wanted a fight and normally she wouldn't back down, but right now she was not in the right place.

[countess_karnstein]

Ella was searching through the kitchen draws when she heard Lara. She then froze for a split second before heading over to the bed.

Once sitting beside Ella wrapped her into a hug, holding her closer and letting her hand come up to soothe the back of Lara’s hair. “You can have whatever you want.” And with that she pressed a kiss to the top of her head.

[lauronica_mars]

And Lara hugged her, practically melting in to her and resting her head on Ella's shoulder. "You nice." Her voice was soft. "And I don't want a fight, and sorry for scaring you." She paused. "And I didn't reinforce my skull, hard as it is, without checking with people and getting help."

[countess_karnstein]

Ella took a deep breath. “I’m sorry too. I get jealous and that on top of not being able to save you? I had to watch you get beaten and it was the hardest thing I have had to witness.” She gave a little squeeze to show Lara she wasn’t going anywhere.

[lauronica_mars]

"One thing I promise. There's no need to ever be jealous of me and a boy." Lara's face scrunched up in disgust, hamming up slightly. "And I'm almost as sorry for making you watch that as I am I went through it. And trust me, when I left the cage I was pretty sorry."

[countess_karnstein]

Ella stayed quiet for a moment. She was processing how to reply without being venerable herself but around Lara it was hard for her to close herself off. “Anger is easy for me. I lash out and that is how I deal with things.” She rested her head on top of hers and closed her eyes.

“I know I’m difficult and set in my ways Lara. I have to guard myself because the second I let someone in…” Ella sighed. “I don’t like seeing you hurt because of how I feel about you.”

[lauronica_mars]

"And I've learned to never back down. Which isn't always good." Lara's hug briefly became a squeeze. "And you can't stop me getting hurt at all. No one can. And I think I feel about you the way you do about me, which is ... overwhelming." She twisted so she could kiss Ella, body saying what she for once didn't have the words to.

[countess_karnstein]

For all of Ella trying to hold onto that anger the second Lara’s lips touched hers she melted into the kiss. The kiss back confirmed everything it needed to. She more than felt the same. “Don’t think you’re getting away with it.” She teased, an extremely playful look in her eyes.

Ella shifted to push Lara gently on her back. “You’ve been reckless...” Her hand snuck under her girlfriend’s top and found its way to her bra. “…dangerous...” She teased her breast and stole another kiss. “On our first date…”

She lowered her voice to whisper in Lara’s ear. “I think you deserve to be punished.”

[lauronica_mars]

Lara moaned as her girlfriend's hand went wandering, shuddering at Ella's words. "Punished? You're not the boss of me! It doesn't matter what you do to me. I'm not saying sorry." Her tone was pure bratty defiance and she had of course apologised and meant it. She was just setting stakes for the game.

[countess_karnstein]

Ella had also said sorry which were words she rarely if ever used but Lara was worth it. Her anger was there because she cared and was concerned for her girlfriend.

A smile spread across her lips as she hovered above the girl. “Talk back at me like that again and you’ll go over my knee. Now apologise properly.” Ella’s tone was completely playful as she prayed Lara would refuse to apologise.

[lauronica_mars]

"You wouldn't dare!" Lara gasped before continuing softly "Just your bare hand this time please and mind my ribs if you literally throw me over your knee." Not that she minded the idea of crops, whips, or paddles but she was still a little battered.

[countess_karnstein]

Over Ella’s knee was exactly where Lara was going. Had the circumstances been different Ella would have pulled out the toys but with Lara’s state being a little fragile she used the right amount of force without hurting her.

“Wouldn’t I?” She pulled Lara’s top up off over her head and when she saw her skin covered in bruises Ella leant down and placed a kiss to her ribs. “This belongs to me....and this...” She unclipped Lara’s bra without hesitation her mouth found her breast, tongue flicking over her nipple. “...this is what you get when you are bad.”

Ella made sure to remove the rest of Lara’s clothes and placed her over her knee. The vampires fingers traced a light pattern down Lara’s spine. “Ready to apologise?”

Ella’s other hand found Lara’s and linked her fingers through hers. This was Ella’s way of reassuring Lara if she was nervous.

[lauronica_mars]

"If this is what I get I should be bad more often." Lara smirked, breath hitching as she was positioned across Ella's knee, and shivering as Ella's hand traced down her spine.

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different outcomes." Lara wriggled sideways to try to slip off Ella's knee - or rather to telegraph that she was pretending to try to escape.

[countess_karnstein]

The vampire caught her trying to escape and pulled her back. It helped their fingers were looked together. A simple squeeze and a pull and Lara was trapped.

“Unless it’s an apology I don’t want to hear another word.” Her fingers traces to the base of Lara’s spine again but this time Ella raised her hand and smacked her girl across the backside. The sound that came caused the vampire to bite her lip. Having Lara like this was making her wet.

[lauronica_mars]

"Don't you?" Lara just got her reply out before the smack landed and she gasped, playing up the pleasure slightly as she writhed a little on Ella's lap. "Too bad." Ella wasn't the only one getting wet right now, and if or when Ella chose to reach between Lara's legs that would be very clear.

[countess_karnstein]

“Quiet.” Ella ordered, but loving the attitude Lara was returning. Raising her hand higher this time she increased the hit and aimed to make Lara whimper with the mix of pleasure and pain.

“Unless your words are an apology you’ll continue to be punished.” It’s was a shame Lara couldn’t see the seductive smirk across Ella’s face. She hit Lara again but this time as she pulled her hand away from the slightly red skin she let her fingers slip between her girls lets enough to feel how wet she was.

“Someone is wet.” Her fingers teased the obvious and Ella did everything to stimulate. “Tell me you’re sorry for being bad?” Doing everything but penetrate she tormented between Lara’s legs and then pulled her hand away.
