The Queen's Bodyguard

Ted emerged from the tent flanked by two women. Emily gaped at his companions, they were both stunning! She felt a little jealous, what would Big Ted see in her, just a normal girl, when he spent his time surrounded by visions like this? Both girls were slightly shorter than Emily, and slimmer, not as curvy, but with deeply tanned skin and very skimpy outfits. They both wore black leather boots similar to hers, with the same leather skirt as she wore, but with tiny armoured bikini tops which pushed their boobs together and forward. They both had shiny black shoulder plates and bracers on their forearms, and that was it. Each had a long black sword at the hip. With their black hair, dark lipstick and, like Emily, a thin black horizontal stripe of eye make up across their faces they both looked really quite scary.

‘Queen Negana,’ Ted introduced the girls. ‘This is Onyx and Amber, your royal guard. They will accompany you into battle and have vowed to lay down their lives for yours.’ Both girls smiled and shook Emily’s hand. Despite their appearance they both seemed very friendly.

‘So, girls, I’m going to let you get acquainted and settle in,’ continued the lovely Ted. ‘Queen Negana, I’ll collect you in the morning for your first story event. Until then, take some time to find your bearings and relax. Have fun!’

Onyx and Amber showed Emily around the command tent. It was very big, separated into a series of small rooms, some of which contained inflatable beds. The largest of these rooms was apparently the Queen’s Chamber, which was a delightful surprise. On the bed was what Onyx called a ‘care package,’ which she said contained toothpaste and other items she might need over the weekend. There was a small kitchen with a coffee pot, and a desk where some people sat with laptops and walkie talkies and maps. This area looked very important and complicated. Around the back of the tent was a large raised cabin with toilets and showers, plus a small rack of hair dryers. They had thought of everything!

‘This is all amazing!’ enthused Emily. ‘It is better than where I live!’

‘Well, enjoy it tonight,’ laughed Amber, ‘from tomorrow we won’t be spending much time here.’

‘I think,’ said Onyx thoughtfully, ‘this is everything there is to see here. So, Queen Negana, I think, as your personal bodyguards, our main duty for tonight should be to get you royally drunk!’

Amber squealed in delight at the idea of going for a drink. Emily wasn’t a big drinker, but she suddenly realised that today, with all of its unusual new experiences, had left her feeling quite drained. A little drink was exactly the thing she needed!
