The Daughters : part 2 Maria

(Maria POV)

"Mommy" Maria screamed as she rushed towards her mother.

She didn't understand what was happening, but what she did know was that her mother, whom she had thought lost forever, had just reappeared. She'd gone from despair to joy in an instant, but it didn't matter.

"Maria?" whispered Abigail, struggling to catch her breath after Olivia's kick.

"I'm here, Mom. It's all right, it's all right. Sorry about Olivia you know she can be brutal sometimes. Although I'll admit she's usually rather blunt with her words," Maria said, thinking of her sister.

Her sister was brilliant, incredible. She was good at everything she did. She was a hard worker and, above all, the best big sister. Maria had no idea how Olivia had managed to bring their mother back to them, but it didn't matter.

Abigail finally got to her feet and began to speak.

"Maria! Olivia! I'm so happy to see you. I'm so sorry, but I couldn't stand not seeing you. I hope it won't be too hard for you here," Abigail said, sobbing.

"So, Mum, I have a few questions. Firstly, where are we? Secondly, why do you make me feel at least 20 years younger? Third, how did we get here? Fourth, who are all these people? Fifth, why is this woman dressed as a catgirl maid? Sixth, why is that other woman dressed as a leprechaun? Seventh..."

"Stop!" said Nola, interrupting Olivia, who surprisingly stopped.

"You never ask more than one question at a time, otherwise the audience won't be able to keep up. Didn't they teach you that in your communications class?" said Nola.

Olivia looked ready to answer, but Nola wouldn't let her.

"No, don't answer. All your questions have one answer anyway: Harem Hotel. And as I'm too lazy to explain it all again, Encore, I'm going to insert the rules directly into your brain," said the Leprechaun.

Instantly Maria knew where they were. This was Harem Hotel, the best erotic show in the entire multiverse. Olivia, Maria and their mother were members of the Master's harem. They had to earn 100 VP to win the show and get a wish. They could earn VPs in 2 ways, by winning events or by having sex with the Master. On top of all that, there were different transformations that occurred several times.

"No, no, no. It's impossible. I've worked too hard to become a sex ****" said Olivia, taking her head in her hands.

"But no, you won't necessarily become a sex ****," said Nola.

Maria couldn't help but notice the use of the word 'necessarily'. The situation was really strange and worrying, but surprisingly Maria wasn't panicking. She was with her mother and sister. Everything was going to be fine.

Maria decided to take a look at the people around them. The Master had to be somewhere. First of all, there was host Nola, who was in charge of the show. Then there was a girl with blue hair and horns? It was strange, but why not? There was also a young girl with angel wings. Next to her was an ordinary-looking girl compared to the others. Then there was a catgirl in a maid's outfit. Finally, there were two young women with enormous breasts.

And finally, she found the Master. She had the feeling she'd seen him somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where or when.

"Don't worry, Olivia, I'll do everything I can to make sure none of you become slaves," said Abigail.

"No, it can't be. It must be a nightmare. I've worked too hard to get where I am. There's no way I'm going to end up in some man's harem, whoever he may be," said Olivia, sounding genuinely panicked.

This was so unlike her. She was always so confident and self-assured, but now she was in denial.

"Olivia, darling, I know it's hard, but you'll see Leo's very kind," said Abigail, trying to give Olivia a hug.

_"No! And by the way, who is this, Leo?" _said Olivia, pushing her mother away.

"Leo Dulac, my godson. Your godmother's son." replied Abigail.

"Ah, so that's who it was. I thought I'd seen him somewhere before," said Maria.

"There's no way I'm part of his harem, or any harem for that matter," said Olivia, pushing her mother away once more.

Abigail seemed saddened by this reaction, but she stepped aside and said.

"I understand. But I'll do my best to help you, even if I don't know exactly what I could do," said Abigail.

There was silence for several seconds. Olivia seemed to be looking for a way out that didn't exist. Abigail looked at her worried daughter. As for Maria, she had decided to look at the sky, which was a magnificent blue.

_"I love family drama, it's always full of surprises. But that's not all, we'll now have to decide how you fit into Leo's harem. There are three main options. The first is that you team up together. The classic pair of sisters who decide to charm the Master. The other option is that you choose to go solo. You're competing for yourselves, and your fate is up to you. Finally, there's the family alternative, where you team up with your mother. With this option, you don't both have to team up with your mother. One of you can go it alone," _Nola explained.

The options were both different and highly similar. But Maria had no idea which option to choose.

"How do we choose?" asked Olivia, who seemed to be beginning to snap out of her panic attack.

"The three of you are free to decide. I'm willing to give you five minutes to decide between yourselves," said Nola.

5 minutes. It was long and at the same time very short.

"No need to argue, we're choosing the option of being separated into three distinct groups. I work better solo," Olivia said firmly, as if to end the conversation.

Abigail and Maria looked at each other for a moment before nodding. It wasn't even worth arguing with Olivia when she was in this state.

"I take it you all agree with this proposal. Well, congratulations Leo on getting 2 extra members for your harem. I suggest you discover their associated themes," said Nola.

"Does it have to be you who chooses the transformation themes? We could have Leo choose, couldn't we?" suggested Abigail.

"Excellent idea, but that would spoil all the work I've had to do to come up with themes relevant to them. So, the answer is no. Let's start with Maria," said Nola.

Maria really didn't know what to expect. But on the other hand, she didn't know what to expect either.

"Maria is a horse enthusiast so her first theme will be 'Equitation'," said Nola.

That was pretty cool. Could she talk to animals?

"Her second would be 'Hero'. It seemed appropriate given Maria's character," continued Nola.

But she was no hero. She was more like her sister. She was only good at looking after horses.

"Then the third theme was proposed by the audience, it will be 'BDSM'," said Nola.

BDSM? What was 'BDSM'? From what she could remember it was a sexual term, but she couldn't remember a definition.

"No, you're not making any sense! It's out of the question for her to be a theme like that," said Olivia.

Oh, how Maria loved her sister. She was always there to defend her.

"And yet she'll get it as for her fourth theme don't worry, you're concerned. Because her last theme is 'Sister'" said Nola.

After pausing for a moment, Nola continued.

"Then for Olivia's themes, for the first theme I thought of 'International' given how often you travel," said Nola.

It was rather apt, Maria mused.

"For your second theme, we chose to stick with a theme you know well, 'Spy'," said Nola.

Olivia stiffened.

"How?" she said simply.

How what? What happened at the end?

"How do I know you were working as a spy on your trips to the Middle East? The answer is simple. Magic. I know every detail of your life. Of course, I know you work for the intelligence services," said Nola.

"Olivia is that true? Do you do such dangerous things?" asked Abigail.

_"Calm down, Mom. I'm not doing anything dangerous, I'm just in charge of recruiting sources in different countries. Spying is nothing like what you see in the movies," _said Olivia.

"But you could have been killed or tortured or..."

"Or kidnapped to join a harem of a man I don't know. Thank you for those remarks, Mom," Olivia said, not hiding her annoyance.

"If you don't mind, I'll continue with the third theme, 'Lesbian'," says Nola.

It was the first time in years that Maria had seen her sister blush. Could it be true? Was her sister a lesbian?

_"Olivia ..." _said Abigail.

"What?! Let's not make a big deal out of it. It's less important than my spy business, right? So, let's not talk about it. It should have been kept secret like everything else," says Olivia.

"And finally, I've decided to give both sisters the same theme, so Olivia will also have the 'Sister' theme," says Nola.
