The hivemind is conquering for me?

Down in the club, the door had opened for the long night as thanks to Ecumenopolis' 32 hours sun rotation and its 24 hour clock, this close to the equator the night will last for 14 hours.

Thanks to this event, the club was running a promotion on caffeinated alcoholic beverages and the clubs own planted dealers were exclusively selling 'party pills' so people could be there all night long.

Sat in a booth in the non private area of the club sat a group of women. Janine, Keyla, Onyx and Samantha. The four women caught the eyes of onlookers for many different reasons. Keyla was well known by any regular and was deemed as sweet as sugar. Samantha, who once wore very covering clothing had begun to wear clothes that made all admirers check twice.

Onyx on the other hand got a lot of curious and lustful looks. It was obvious she was from a non core world by her darker skin tone and unique genetic traits such as her green eyes. Uncommon to see, but still withing respectable boundaries.

But what really got people interested in the group was the Sepiida with no horns. At first glance she simply looks like a beautiful bombshell of a human in the darkness of the room, but occasionally the lights above would show off her beautiful blue skin and people would grow curious and a few of the more 'loyal' citizens of spartari threw scornful gazes towards her.

The women at the table however gave zero shits about the random men and women in the club as they had all taken another shot of some drink, well all except one.

After Keyla finished her shot, she immediately looked over to the bar and appeared disappointed. Her 'bestest' friend in the whole wide world picked up on her mannerisms as Janine was preparing another set of shots for the girls.

"Why do you keep disengaging from the party Keyla? It is not like you to invite me to something and then ignore everyone." Samantha asked curiously. Keyla was not her usual self as she seemed hyper focused, not really listening to her friend.

However, just as Samantha was about to ask again, Keyla's smile went creepily wide as she spotted a pink haired woman enter the bar area with two red heads in tow. Keyla then looked at Samantha and despite being her genetic Keyla's superior, had shivers shoot down her spine.

"Oh my dear, dear Sammy, I was simply waiting for my prey." Keyla's predator smile suddenly turned cutesy as she looked away from Samantha and towards the other two in the group.

"I will be right back cuties, just going to invite some friends over." Keyla said as she stood up and walked away. Onyx took a cursory glance at Keyla's prey as she obviously heard everything and an inquisitive smile appeared on her face for a split second. 'Oh, this should be interesting to analyse.'

…

Over at the bar, Willow wanted to order her drink, but her friends mother had begun to make a minor scene. "What do you mean you cannot inform Apollo of my arrival, do you know who I am? If Apollo hears that you turned me away, your ass will be fertiliser.

The man behind the counter, Max, knew very well who Apollo was as he had just been recently inaugurated into the family and now knew the truth of what a great being his new father was.

He also knew the woman in front of him and wanted to oblige, but due to his fresh instincts, he cannot disobey orders. "I am very sorry Lady Hyllus, but I have been informed by Lady Sophia that Apollo is not to be disturbed by anyone."

In the past, Kathrine would have been rational after hearing the statement, but now. "That blonde bimbo bitch!" She said as she slammed her hand into the counter, leaving behind a very obvious hand print indent.

Rhea was about to scold her mother as her embarrassment was through the roof when suddenly. "Is that my new best friend Willow and her hot side piece Rhea?" Keyla said as she appeared behind the bar next to Max.

Keyla then turned to Kathrine and feigned surprise. "Oh Lady Hyllus, a pleasure to see you again. You probably don't remember me, but I was with Apollo and his sister when they came to your building for an exchange of services."

Kathrine raised her eyebrow at the little thing in front of her. 'How did I not realise before? This girl is bad news.' She thought to herself. "Yes I do remember you, Keyla correct?"

"Ah, as smart and intelligent as Apollo made you out to be, remembering small things like that." Keyla replied, causing Kathrine to feel good as Apollo had apparently been talking about her.

Keyla then turned away from the distracted Kathrine and said. "So Willow- Oh Max you can fuck off now- Sorry about him, he is kind of new and following strict instructions anyways, Willow, are you here just to see little ol' me again, or are you and miss seduction on legs just here for the free drink I promised you?"

Willow giggled at Keyla's playfulness and got caught up in it. "Oh why can't it be both? We would enjoy your company, right Rhea?" Rhea simply nodded. "And the free drink could not hurt could it?" Willow finished, with a minute twinge of desperation.

'If only you knew cupcake.' Keyla thought before she turned back to Kathrine. "And how about you temptress? I promised these two a 'Perfect Poison.' You in? Free of charge of course.

Kathrine furrowed her brows and leaned against the counter. "You know what that does sound good, but what would be even better would be you fetching me Apollo, or at least telling him I am here."

Keyla was about to respond, but then she smelt something. Normally a scent would be difficult to pick up with all the sweaty meat bags everywhere, but this scent... All members of the family know this scent by heart, and It was coming from Kathrine. She has something on her possession that absolutely reeks of Apollo.

The little girl in Keyla that used to trick honest to goodness men into becoming predators only so she could kill them after her seduction began to spur and give her an idea.

"Come here a sec my Lady. Willow, Rhea, I will be right back to make your drink ok?" She said and blew a kiss.

Kathrine was curious about the woman in front of her and followed her to a quiet spot just next to the bar. She was about to assert her dominance by controlling how the conversation went, but Keyla ended up speaking first.

"Listen lady, I am not talking to Kathrine Hyllus of the Ecumenopolis 1 Hyllus' as that is not who you are right now. Right now I am talking to a woman who loves my Apollo just as much as I do."

Kathrine gasped at the woman and was about to rebuke, but the small lady dropped a huge bombshell. "Why else would you be clutching your purse that contains an item soaked with Apollo's love milk hmm?"

Kathrine as experienced as she was grew predatory herself as she lowered her voice. "So what do you want weakling?"

'Heh, me weak? Humans...' Keyla thought. Keyla returned the steely gaze a moment and just before it looked like things were to come to blows. "To help you of course." Keyla said as her face became a beacon in the night with how happy her smile was.

"Huh?" Kathrine said perplexed. 'Damn this woman! She is harder to read than Apollo!'

"Explain yourself." Kathrine followed up immediately. Keyla obliged. "Well, you have spent a month with Apollo, and naturally you have come to understand how amazing he is no?" Kathrine simply nodded her head at Keyla's words.

She then continued. "Well then, you should also know what he would get mad about as well? What would he think if you came into his home, just as he reunited with his beloved sister, who he has never been separated from his entire life until this last month and his betrothed fiancée and demanded he be separated from them once more?"

Kathrine's face sunk. She knew Apollo was as simple as they come when It came to emotions. He would not care if she had good intentions, he would simply be angry at her. The very notion for some reason shook Kathrine to her very core, she could never allow that to happen to her-

She was suddenly shocked back into real time as Keyla snapped her fingers in front of her eyes. "Well?" Keyla asked. "He-he would be angry." Kathrine responded like a scolded child, a response that many of Kathrine's allies and even enemies would die if they heard due to shock.

"Exactly, and you don't want that, do you Kathrine?" Keyla followed up, the way she spoke her words would be insulting to others, but Kathrine responded with a simple. "No..."

'By my parasite Apollo, what did you do to this women to make her so susceptible? Oh I'm going to get wet, Imagine how many innocents we could bait and trap and torture and kill if we worked together!'

As Keyla now got lost in thought, It was Kathrine's turn to interrupt the train of thought. "I am sorry, but I really do need to speak to Apollo, when do you think he will talk to me?"

Keyla had to fight the urge to ruin her jeans hearing how easily this powerful, intelligent woman had switched.

"I tell you what you sexy thing, how about you, your daughter and the cute pink one over there join my little group for drinks during the long night. If you can keep up with us the whole time and sleep here over night in one of the guest rooms, I will personally see to it that Apollo talks to you tomorrow deal?"

Kathrine needed no further convincing.

"Deal!"
