Daphne St John's Story

( This is where everyone comes to the mansion )

Kendra got the text message from Lucas. She always thought he was hot, but she didn't want to go for him for fear of getting her heart broken. "A little flirting isn't so bad though.." She said to herself then typed in the address in her phone and made her way there, straying from the path she was already on to go to the park. "He said everyone, I wonder who else is coming. Probably just all the guys." She spoke to herself, she meant their usual group of friends by 'guys.' She was excited. A small thought popped into her brain before she could help it, I hope Stephanie's there. She blushed at her own thought. Stephanie was probably the hottest girl she knew, and they had talked before, but she never flirted with her. She smiled at the thought and kept walking. "Maybe Daphne will be there too. She's cute and fun." she said aloud, then let her mind wander.

Daphne was woken up by a burst of sunlight too bright to ignore. She groaned and lifted her head up from the pillow to discover the source of the light. Her caretaker´s cat, Marnie, had pulled down her curtains. Again. Something needed to be done about that pesky feline. She slid out of bed, not fully awake yet, and shooed the tabby out of her room. She looked at the large blue backpack in the corner of her room and sighed. She had to get away from here and soon. She wasn't sure how much longer she could stand being alone and hiding from the world. All because of her stupid cowardly...No. She wouldn't think about him now. Her phone buzzed and Daphne stared at it for a second. Who could possibly be texting her so early?
Come to the 1717 Mansion on Brookston Street and meet up with me and don't tell anyone about this::urgent
From Lucas Martin
Daphne stared at the screen in confusion for a few seconds. Lucas Martin? Why did he want to meet up with her of all people? It wasn't that Daphne didn't like him, but they'd never been close and hadn't spoken in a while. Her bag was fully packed already and it's not like she had anywhere better to go... Maybe Kendra will be there... She hadn't thought of that. Daphne smiled to herself at the thought of seeing her. She had always found Kendra attractive and this could be an opportunity to get to know her better. Maybe Stephanie would be there too. More cute girls never hurt anyone...
She poked in her closet with a devilish smile. She'd taken the time this past weeks to buy the sort of outfits she'd always wanted to wear but was never allowed to. She pulled out black off-the-shoulder shirt with the words"Release the hounds" emblazoned in a bold print across the front. Then she wiggled into her skinny jeans and slipped on her purple converse. She hesitated in front of the mirror, debating whether to put her hair up, but decided to just let it fall naturally. She slipped on a couple of bracelets, grabbed her bag and was out the door.
She'd already written her letter goodbye and taped it on the fridge for them to find. She'd figure the rest out later. Luckily the address wasn't too far away and she and could just walk there. Smiling at her new found freedom, Daphne made her away through the city streets and towards the mansion.

Daphne wandered around the mansion, looking around her in pure awe. She´d never seen anything like it and she´d lived in some pretty nice places herself. She was just coming down some stairs when she tripped and landed in a tangled hep, spilling the contents of her bag everywhere. "Oww" she said rubbing her arm. She looked up to find Kendra and another girl standing there looking at her. Daphne turned bright red after seeing them "Ah..." Great. She'd just made a fool of herself in front of Kendra and this other girl. Just fantastic. This is just the sort of thing that had made her keep to herself. She shouldn't have come here... "I...sorry" She said beggining to gather her clothes from the staircase.

Kendra turned to see Sammy sotting on the stair. "Oh hey Sam!" She called out to her. She chuckled and rolled her eyes. "Joyride with girls? Sounds just like Lucas." She laughed and Sammy walked down the stairs the rest of the way.

"What's in the box?" Sammy asked as she a tapped it. Kendra smiled an giggled.

"Look, it's a little baby bunny I saved. Poor thing was in the middle of the street, no home in sight." She had opened the lid of the box and was stroking it's little head while she spoke. "Isn't it cute?" She squealed and looked at Sammy. Kendra jumped a little when Daphne fell, scaring the bunny. She closed the lid and set if on a stair, placing her bag next to it. She crouched down and began helping Daphne pick up her clothes. Kendra picked up a little tank top and folded it. "Are you alright Daphne?"she asked and looked at the pretty girl. She handed her the tank top and stood up, offering a hand to help her up.

Sammy looked at the girl that he'll and helped pick a pair of pants up."Don't worry about it." samm went back to the box with the bunny,thinking Kendra would help her and picked the bunny up."Aww so adorable" (( so sorry I have major writers block nd don't worry bout the Desmond character cuz I put that in by accident))

"Are you alright Daphne?" "I'm fine!" snapped Daphne, but quickly softened her tone when she saw Kendra's expression "I mean....I'm sorry...This is all a little confusing" Daphne smiled apologetically as she stuffed the last of her things in her bag. She looked at Kendra for a second God she's pretty... "Um...you wanna go exploring with me?" She said hopefully "There's sure to be somewhere we can have an adventure..." She hesitated for a second "If you want..."

"I know Sammy!! Isn't he adorable!" Kendra squealed again. She looked at Sammy as she held the little furr ball. Ken needed to come up with a name for him. She looked back to Daphne when she snapped at her, but her tone quickly changed. She could understand why she was confused. Lucas had told everyone to come here and he wasn't even here. Kendra's eyes lit up when Daphne aske her to go exploring with her.

"Duh! I'm always up for an adventure! Sammy could you bunnysit? If you get tired of watching him just put him back in the box and hide it behind that couch over there with my bag." She smiled at Sammy then turned back to Daphne. "Come on!" She grabbed her hand and pulled her down the hall. Then she stopped and ran back to her bag. She pulled out her bright red-orange bikini that matched her hair. "Do you have your swim suit Daphne?" Kendra asked as she met her back in the hall. She wanted to grab her had again, but she suddenly got shy about it. She still wasn't sure if she should go for a girl or not.. She bit her lip and smiled at her as they walked.k

"Duh! I'm always up for an adventure!" Daphne's face lit up with one of her rare smiles when Kendra accepted her offer. The idea of wandering alone with her through a great mansion was exciting, but it really intimidating. Daphne could feel herself closing up despite her best efforts. Suddenly she felt Kendra's soft warm hand in hers as she was being pulled down the hallway. Even as she felt her reddening cheeks she wished that moment could last forever. Then it ended. She was pulled from her momentary reverie by Kendra's voice."Do you have your swim suit Daphne?" Daphne nodded and went back quickly to fish her swimsuit out of her backpack. It was a little red polka dot ruffly thing, just the kind of thing that would make her "auntie" cringe. Kendra's smile gave Daphne a small warm feeling in her chest. Her hand still tingled from where Kendra had touched her. Maybe... Daphne slowly extended her hand and took Kendra back into hers, praying she wouldn't pull away.

Kendra watched Daphne as she went and got her swim suit. "Thanks Sam!" She said, then smiled when Daphne returned. "That swimsuit is so cute!" The red-head remarked and smiled at the brunette. Kendra suddenly felt Daphne's soft hand tickle her palm, and she instantly responded. She slowly slid her fingers in betwen Daphne's. Her stomach was full of butterflies, and her cheeks turned pink. She couldn't help but notice how right it felt to her. It was soft and warm, gently cradling her own hand. She compared it to holding a boys hand without even thinking about it. A guy's hand would be rough and big, but still gentle. It would have been more of a posessive, protective hold rather than a sweet innocent one like this. She was very confused, but for now, all she wanted was for Daphne to never let go.

"Hey I didn't look in this room." Kendra said. She opened the door and it was a small sun room that was connected to the pool room. Kendra could see dark clouds rolling in. "That couch looks so nice right now." Kendra dropped her bikini on the glass table. She sat down on the couch, pulling Daphne along with her. She was afraid that if she let go of her hand, she wouldn't be brave enough to grab it again, and she disn't want Daphne to think she didn't want to hold hands.

Daphne sat awkwardly on the couch for a bit. She had never been too good at this sort of thing. Holding Kendra´s hand was wonderful and she seemed to be ok with it. At least for now. She leaned back against the couch with a contented sigh. Maybe they could just stay here. It would be a while before anyone would find them. Kendra was looking at her. Was she supposed to do something now? "Make a move" as they say? She didn't want to scare her. Plus she wasn't sure she would even know how to go about doing something like that. She opted for giving Kendra s small smile instead. "So..." she said cautiously "You wanna go swimming?"

"Yeah!" Kendra said and smiled. She stood up, reluctantly letting go of Daphne's hand. She stripped off her shirt, turning her back to Daphne. She unhooked her lacy black bra and set it on the table. She then pulled on her bikini top and adjusted it so it was more comfortable. Suddenly she realized that if she was liking Daphne and Daphne was liking her, it wasn't okay for the girls to change in front of one another. She shrugged her shoulders and shimmied off her cut off shorts, sliding out of her boots at the same time. It revealed hot pink cheeky underwear. She wasn't sure what to do next, because she didn't want to make Daphne uncomfortable..

"Don't look or you'll be blinded by my pale butt." She giggled, then quickly slid out of her panties and put her bottoms on. She stayed facing away from Daphne the whole time so she could change. Kendra was facing the dark pool room, so she opened the door and tip toed in. She left the door to the sun room open so Daphne could follow. There wasn't light coming from the windows anymore, it was dark. Partly because it was gettig late, and partly because it was stormy. "Hurry!" Kendra laughed again. Maybe it was because it was dark, or maybe it was because of how she was feeling about Daphne, but Kendra felt like she was breaking a rule. She liked that feeling, a lot.

Daphne could feel a blush creeping up her cheeks as Kendra was changing. She watched for a few seconds before looking away. She didn't want Kendra to feel uncomfortable."Don't look or you'll be blinded by my pale butt." Daphne chuckled softly to herself at that little blurb. When she looked up Kendra was already halfway out the door "Hurry!" Daphne quickly changed into her own ruffly little thing. She suddenly felt silly and exposed, but she couldn't run away. Kendra was waiting for her. Daphne could feel a devilish smile spreading across her face as she made her way to the pool room. She was determined to make this fantastic. "Ooh Kendra" She called from the doorway, searching for the cheeky redhead in the darkened room.

Kendra stopped and looked to the door. She could just barely see Daphne, but she still looked fantastic. "Yes, Daphne?" she called back, her voice was sweet and playful. She was scared about what might happen, but she was also very excited. She kept reminding herself that she was alone in a dark room with a gorgeous girl. She had nothing to be scared of. Nothing could make this bad, unless Daphne rejected her. She sat on the edge of the pool and let her feet dangle in the nice cool water. She hated pools that felt like a bath, plus because of her nervousness, she was starting to feel a little hot. She slipped into the pool, hardly making any noise. She began floating around in the water, "Daphne the water feels great. Come find me." Kendra said, her voice was challenging and seductive. It was obvious she wanted to be found, and quickly too. The butterflies were returning to her stomach as she waited for the pretty girl to join her in the water.

"Daphne the water feels great. Come find me." Daphne smiled to herself. Giving herself a bit of impulse she dove into the pool. Maybe all those swimming lessons would finally pay off. "Come out come out wherever you are" She said teasingly as she scanned the pool for any signs of her hidden friend. She thought she saw a flash of movement and silently made her way over there. She went under the water and glided over to the shape she assumed to be Kendra. She popped up suddenly in front of her with a playful "Boo." Then she rested her hand lightly on the other girl's waist and whispered "Gotcha..." They were fairly close to each other and Daphne could see the light reflecting on Kendra's eyes. God...She's just so...beautiful

Kendra jumped slightly when Daphne dove into the water. The next thing she knew, Daphne's hand was on her waste. She began to tingle where the girl was touching her. She got chills up her back. She reached out her hands and wrapped them around Daphne. She was being very forward, but that was just her personality. She liked the feeling of Daphne in her arms. "Yes you do." Kendra said quietly, biting her lip. She ran her tongue over her top. Pulling Daphne closer so their stomachs were almost touching. Her heart was beating extremely fast.

In a bold moment, Daphne closed the distance between them and panted a soft kiss on Kendra's lips. Maybe she was being too forward. Maybe she was moving too fast. Maybe she shouldn't be doing this. But none of those things mattered now. She could feel warmth spreading through her in a moment of pure joy. When was the last time she'd felt like this? Kendra was there and she was real and she was beautiful. In that moment nothing else mattered. She could feel her icy facade slip a little as she revealed a little piece of herself to this girl. This could be the start of something good. Something really good.

The kiss made Kendra's face turned hot. She was shocked by the way it made her feel. She had never kissed a girl before, and this felt great. It was gentle, but erotic. Kendra pulled away away first. She took a breath and smiled, leaning back into Daphne. She put her hand on Daphne's cheek, then slid her fingers into her soft hair. She got chills down her spone as she leaned into the kiss more, pushing Daphne against the wall of the pool. Kendra had no idea something could feel so roght, so wonderful. Right then, she couldn't imagine ever being with a boy again in fact she couldn't imagine herself being with a different girl.

Daphne smiled as their second kiss ended, she suddenly felt shy. Underneath all of that though there was just happiness. Not only had Kendra not pulled away, she'd responded in kind. She just held her for a second taking the feeling of the girl in her arms and saving the memory for later. She turned her head towards the door as she heard voices in nearby rooms. She bit her lip as she looked at Kendra "Maybe we should get back..." She pulled Kendra a bit closer, daring her to prove her wrong. "someone might come." She knew that Kendra wasn't really publicly into girls, plus the idea of having anyone intrude in this moment was unnerving. She would rather get up and leave than have someone come and find the and have their sweet little bubble burst.

Kendra smiled and blushed too. She was happy, but also a little scared to get caught. It was almost like Daphne eead her mid when she said they should get going. Deapite her words, she pulled Kendra closer. "Yeah you're right, we should probably go." Kendra said and smiled leaning into Daphne even more. She let her forehead rest against Daphne's. At this point, she wasn't liking the word "caught". It was becoming more of discovered. Who cares what other people think? Right now she felt good, for the first time in a long time. She smiled again at Daphne, looking deep into her eyes.

Suddenly, her brain turned against her heart. Girls had an equal chance of breaking her heart as guys did, right? What made things different?No, I'm not going to think about that right now. If she stayed, it would guarantee her getting hurt. I'll never know till I try.
