Stolas was frozen for a few seconds after the kiss. Arouse feelings for her? She is his daughter! Stolas was actually still as confused and conflicted as he had been since last night, and that kiss was the necessary catalyst for him to realize it. His heart was still sure that he had broken his daughter; his being kept swearing that everything was his fault and that it was his duty to fix things if he didn't want to lose her. But could he fix this? He knew that if he allowed this to continue, everything would spiral out of control, and he wasn't about to face something like that. Just what was it that made him act that way? He couldn't understand.
The only thing he could do was try to return everything to normal and pretend nothing had happened. Still be as loving as he has always been with her, but without going further; including not allowing her to go beyond either.
He discreetly wiped his beak and headed into the living room, where Octavia was already seated waiting for him. To his uncomfortable surprise, Octavia had taken the opportunity to leave herself half-naked; only keeping her shirt on and –hopefully, her underwear.
—Aren't you cold? —Stolas asked, trying not to lose his composure—.
—On the contrary. The whole day has been infernally hot. —She answered perceptively, pretending to blow air at herself with her hand—.
—I... see.
Stolas was still shocked, but he was doing his best to hide it, and to be discreet even while looking for where Octavia left the rest of her clothes.
So, he proceeded to sit on the other side of the sofa, took the TV control and asked.
—What movie do you want to see Via?
—A friend recommended this cool movie, Blade Runner; humans hunting human-looking robots or something, really philosophical or whatever. According to her, the humans call it «A classic».
Stolas agreed, thinking that a movie might be a good distraction. But the truth is that he was surprised that she did not recommend something of sexual or romantic nature, and even managed to breathe a sigh of relief in the process of putting the film.
This movie begins by explaining that, in that world, a company managed to create synthetic life to use as slaves for dangerous jobs that no one could do, but they learned to rebel against their masters, so police came up with a division of hunters called "Blade Runners". They are in charge of hunting them down and eliminating them.
As the movie begins, some servant imps suddenly appeared, leaving snacks on the table such as popcorn, chips and soda. It again looked like Octavia had everything planned for tonight.
The film continues while Octavia bends down to take the bowl of popcorn, on the scene there are two people carrying out an interview, one of the actors says: «You find a tortoise in a desert and you decide to turn it belly up», «The tortoise tries to flip back, but cannot without your help; and you don't help, why don't you? »
—What kind of question is that? If he flipped the turtle, obviously he did it on purpose and it's clear he's not going to help. —Octavia stammered, already starting to gobble down the popcorn—.
Stolas saw it differently, if someone hurts you; perhaps without realizing it, it doesn't hurt to help back in order to make amends. He thought of how to help Octavia at that moment.
The interrogation continued. And another dialogue came to Stolas as cold water, «My mother? I'll tell you about my mother» says the interrogated as he shoots to kill the interrogator. The scene ends abruptly.
Stolas immediately thought of his mother, had she gone through the same thing as he did with Stella? Was she used only to give birth to children who could inherit the throne no matter what the consequences? In the end, was Stolas grateful for the life she gave him?
The streets full of buildings and people everywhere, the chaos and the strange aesthetics that accompanied it, these reminded him of the various rings of hell, some more crowded than others, many flooded in perpetual chaos; others –like the protagonist when they start to float in the flying car –peaceful and calm, but with chaos hidden in plain sight. The protagonist is escorted to a superior to explain that he must eliminate some "replicants" that attacked a ship. The irony of the search of the human to create life and that this life stabs them in the back; it was the best metaphor to describe them, but also to describe many other infernal beings. Within a few minutes Stolas was intrigued by the film they were watching.
—How stupid, why keep creating something that you know will betray you? —Octavia commented in a wry tone—.
Stolas ignores the comment.
In the end, the protagonist is forced to take the case, something with which he also identified. He was completely immersed in the plot, and Octavia was slowly beginning to realize this.
Other scenes go by until another special one comes into play: «You like it? » Says another character, on stage there was now a woman with the protagonist on a room where there was an artificial Owl.
Being so into what he saw, Stolas analysed every scene and every dialogue, he also let his imagination shine, like a small child picking up a piece of paper and a crayon. He saw the owl and thought of something funny.
—Via…—Stolas murmurs—.
Octavia turned to Stolas as she continued gobbling down some chips.
—Hoot Hoot. —Stolas said with his face transformed into one similar to the owl in the movie—.
Octavia couldn't help but laugh, since she was eating; she began to cough and choke.
—Oh my gosh. —Stolas exclaimed, returning to normal—.
He turned Octavia on her back and hugged her around the torso, beginning to press rhythmically.
A few moments later she signalled with her hand that she was fine, as if to make him understand that he was exaggerating. When Stolas stopped; both realized how close they were, leaving an awkward silence between the two.
—Dad... you're an idiot. —Octavia expressed between coughing and coughing—.
She then moves towards him, leaning on his forearm.
—Now you'll have to pamper me for the rest of the movie. —She told him in a childish voice as if throwing a tantrum—.
Stolas' heart was pounding, and she could feel it.
«She shows her husband a picture of a naked woman and he likes it so much he wants to hang it on his bedroom wall» says the protagonist while interviewing the woman, just like the interview at the beginning.
For Octavia, the first thing that comes to her mind is perhaps to pose for her dad, she hugs his arm tightly, almost resting it against her breasts. Stolas on the other hand thinks of Blitzo. From the beginning he believed he was interested in him, at first it was just sex, until Stolas more and more tried to make it something sentimental, genuine –and he wondered if Blitzo ever thought the same of him. The mention of the photo reminded him of the times when he was still with Stella; Stolas and Blitzo would see each other on the sly and take provocative photos for each other –even thinking if having those photos on his cell phone would be enough of a metaphor for "hanging" a painting.
«She's a replica, and she doesn't know it» the actor expresses offended –while another character; the person responsible for these replicas, is only fascinated that he could discover the truth so easily.
—Because nothing can go wrong. —Octavia stammered in a tone similar to that used in cartoons to represent the voice of a ghost—. Dad, are you a copy?
—Well, I've been alive for more than the 4 years they can survive, so I don't think so. —He replied playfully—.
—But what if you are special and live forever?
—I hope that's not the case, the original Stolas would surely miss his daughter a lot right now.
—But I would have two dads.
—And we'd visit Loo Loo Land twice as often.
—Please no.
Stolas laughed out loud caressing his little girl's head.
Later in the film, one of the evil replicas invades what seems to be a laboratory, where they found a man, apparently responsible for the creation of these creatures too. «Your eyes, I made your eyes», «Tyrell, He made your brain»
Stolas turns to Octavia, and she sees him back. He sees her eyes, the beautiful colour of her eyes, he sees her plumage, he sees her figure similar to his. He made her; he gave her life. His little starfire that lights up his life day by day.
He leans down a bit to rest his head on hers, closing his eyes as he warmly moves his face between Octavia's feathers, as if caressing her.
Octavia responds to this with more caresses on her father's arms, but what Stolas did not know is that, with the second hand, Octavia was slowly reaching for his crotch. Luckily enough, at the same time a rumble is heard in the film giving both a scare, Stolas finally feels his daughter's hand and jumps in surprise, scaring both of them.
Stolas doesn't say anything, but it could be seen that his breathing hitched, his heart rate skyrocketed, and he was sweating a little. Then he swallowed hard and tried to relax.
Octavia only moved to one side when she felt the sudden response of her father's body, resting one hand on the edge of the seat and with the other she adjusts the feathers and makes a strange movement with her beak.
They both made a noise with their throats to feign ignorance and turned back to the television.
The movie continued while both; in silence, only dedicated themselves to continue eating the snacks. Octavia on one hand wanted to get attached to her father again, but she was afraid that being so direct would let him see her intentions. Stolas on the other hand wanted to hide his awareness in what they saw and completely turned off his mind to stop thinking about all these events that gave no quarter.
More scenes kept going: «Enhance the image, center, extend, enhance, focus»
—I'm in. —Octavia finally said like an 80's movie hacker—.
Stolas let out a light laugh which he tried to silence by covering his mouth with his hand, while Octavia looked at him with a small, reserved smile.
The effort by both of them to find what they wanted from each other could be felt throbbing in the air, the fear of taking a step in the wrong direction could be smelled like thick incense smoke.
The TV kept going: «Hey, give him a drink. The man is dry»
—Hey, I'm walking in here. —Stolas said now in the tone of an Italian mobster—.
They both laughed a little and got back together. This time Octavia leaned on Stolas' shoulder as she wrapped her arm around him, leaning against the back of the sofa. Their heads leaned against each other in a sign of reconciliation.
In the film, the protagonist was now investigating a woman in a brothel. Posing as a social worker, he interviews her while she takes a shower. This more than obviously made Octavia think about her adventure and her desire that she still wants to do it again; but this time she had to hold back, because by that time it was more than obvious to her that she would not get anything without using that cursed product.
This on the outside didn't seem to shock her in the least, but inside she was already on fire trying to contain her desires.
Stolas, on the other hand, saw the scene with a certain sadness, the way she talked made him believe that she did not want the life she had, and that she was also the only one she could count with, due to the circumstances. The fact that the scene ended with her death; the blade runner's boss telling him that now the woman he had interviewed previously was now part of the target list, and now meeting yet another of the replicas, the pain the actor felt could be felt by Stolas «Painful to live in fear, don't you think? »
Just as the protagonist was presented with difficult situations one after another, Stolas felt the same, and this only brought him more sorrow.
During this fight, the replica woman saved the protagonist from certain death, and they go together to his apartment –where they interact for a while. In the end he falls asleep, all the while she begins to play the piano for him; action that wakes him up instants later, so he sits next to her. Little by little she goes back to playing the piano reflecting on her newly discovered identity. «You play wonderfully» he tells the woman as he approaches her for a kiss on her cheek and neck, after that he wants to approach her beak, but she rejects him and leaves. He stops her in a rush of violent erotic masculinity, and she finally agrees to his advances, culminating in passionate sex and mutual desire. «I want you», «Touch me».
Like oil and water, this scene excited Octavia, but made Stolas uncomfortable.
The movie continued, and it was shown that the replicas had created their own emotions; similar to love, between them. A replica made for war and another for the pleasure of man, and now fighting to live together. And as they discover that they will not be able to live anymore, anger leads one of the replicas to murder its creator. «The flame that shines the brightest, fades faster», «You shine bright» –These were his creator's last words before he was killed.
Stolas did not feel as if he was shining, on the contrary, he felt that there was a thick black cloud that hid his flame. Then he looked at Octavia, who was looking deep into the film, and he saw her as that light that he couldn't be.
—I'll be right back. —Octavia says as she stands up—. I have to go to the bathroom.
Stolas just nodded as she walked away.
The film was nearing the end, the final confrontation between the protagonist and the two missing replicas began. In a short fight he struck down the woman, and this provoked the man's anger.
For a moment Stolas put himself in the replica's shoes, he imagined how he would feel if something happened to his little girl, if he wasn't there to take care of her. Instinctively he wanted to hug Octavia but being that he was currently alone, he had no choice but to hug a pillow.
«Are you the good guy? »
Stolas wondered the same thing at the time. Was he doing the right thing? Was he the good one? Or was he not?
The scene, in addition to deepening the fight between human and copy, also showed the replica man who was approaching his death. Time had taken its toll on him, and his life was ending that night, and the pain of the inevitable led him to try and take out with him as many as he could.
«It's quite an experience to live in fear, don't you think? That's how it feels to be a slave»
The replica leans in front of the protagonist, brings a white dove trapped in his hands and with his last breath says: «I have seen things you people wouldn't believe, attack ships in flames on the shoulders of Orion. I've seen G-beams glitter in the dark near Tannhäuser's gate, all those memories will be lost in time… like tears –in rain. Time to die» The replica then dies at that instant, letting the dove fly away, taking off immediately.
And so, the man stares at him until he is distracted by the voice of someone else, another man in his line of work congratulating him on a job well done. And when he leaves, he simply turns to see him one last time, «Too bad she won't live, but then again who does? »
These words make the man run home to meet the woman once more, fearing the worst; but she is still alive. So, they decide to escape from there, so that as long as she lives, they can live together –until the end.
The film ends as Octavia returns.
—Ugh, I missed the ending! The human dies? —Octavia replies annoyed—.
Stolas, emotionally destroyed, turns to see his little girl and calls her back into his arms as the credits roll on the screen. Surprised, she takes the opportunity and goes into his arms.
They both become attached to each other for a long time.
—Go to sleep, my little starfire. —Stolas tells her gently—.
The guilt that lived in Stolas' heart would not go away that easily, he knew that. But as long as he could make things right; if only once, he would be satisfied.
Octavia feeling Stolas' sincere fatherly love felt warm. She never wanted to lose that feeling, her desire to always have him by her side only grew stronger every moment. And it was written in the stars that it would reach even further, to the firmament.
Stolas kept stroking Octavia, even though he felt incredibly exhausted from another heavy day. What he didn't know was that; when she went to the bathroom, she had gone to apply more of that balm that she had bought. She already knew it worked, and since her casual approaches didn't seem to have the effect she wanted, she figured she should keep a more aggressive stance on her plan.
She, who was still receiving caresses, looked up at her father, saw him with an innocent gaze, that, just as she sought to see him in the eye, she sought to escape from his gaze, and so she puts her hand on his chest and there she played with a claw caressing him.
Stolas, being so exhausted, began to fall into the effects faster than the first time, but mixing with his exhaustion would open the doors for Octavia to explore a little more of not only her creativity, but her own sexuality, something that she was inexperienced in, but would learn in the process.
Thus, Octavia approached her father and delicately gave him a kiss on the beak while the hand with which she was caressing his chest took him behind the neck and with the other took him on by the cheek; with which she guided him to the position of her beaks. He closed his eyes in a relaxed ecstasy –a mixed feeling of peace with sentimental eroticism, which allowed them both to enjoy the mutual taste of their beaks in peace and without pressure. The curious thing about this scene is that unlike last night; where Stolas was in charge, now she was, but she was inexperienced, she had never kissed someone herself and it showed. She tried to imitate what they had done last night, but because this time he was in a more submissive state he couldn't guide her. However, they took their time, calmly and lovingly; As if it were true love, she gradually understood what she had to do and how to do it. She was not an expert; but you could feel the thrill of her trying. Many talks about how fun it was to give the first kiss, with whom or where; or the circumstances that led to that kiss. But she couldn't do so since it was meant to be a secret, but she did not care, being able to kiss her father was more than enough.
Her excitement was becoming easier to see. like a dog, or in her case, like a bird –she flapped her tail repeatedly as she kissed him.
Stolas slowly began to make his own movements, his weight; being larger than Octavia's, forced her to lean back while he slowly forced himself on top of her. Octavia, for her part, no longer needing to lean on Stolas so much to maintain her position, took one of his arms and hid it under her blouse towards her breasts, –Stolas had guessed correctly at the beginning, she was indeed naked beneath. It was clear that all this time it had been her idea, but there was nothing he could do now.
The real reason they watched that specific movie was because she just searched for 5 minutes on the internet for something that was full-length to use as «background noise» while they had sex, she never expected she would have to see the whole thing to be honest.
The reason they even watched the movie to begin with was simply because she had a list of "fantasies" she wanted to carry on with him.
The reason she was forced to use her dark wiles again was simply not to let the opportunity go to waste.
Her father then with his open hand took one of her breasts, which he gently squeezed while he released his arm already in position for her to continue touching him in a reciprocal way; this means that now her hand sought to reach her father's crotch, a place she failed to reach the first time she tried.
When she felt his penis between her claws, she really didn't know what to do, she supposed that jerking him off would be a good start anyway –and that's what she did.
This took Stolas by surprise, which allowed Octavia to push him away from the way they were, for her to be on top of him once again. And now in that position she looked down and saw two things, the bulge generated by her father's hand that was still holding her breast and her hand holding her father's dick.
The first time she hadn't really noticed him, so in a way this was the first time she had seen it in close-up. She, remembering a pornographic video that she had seen beforehand, thought of following that script and seeing how she felt.
In this video, the actress moved away from the man to bow down before him and perform oral sex on him. Even though the position she and Stolas were in was not exactly the same; or the best for this, it did not stop her from trying.
Leaving her father leaning against the arms of the couch, she took off her shirt –which she dropped somewhere, she leaned back and tried to lower her body and face, she adjusted the feathers that were in front of her and that prevented her from seeing well and there it was –head on.
A little nervous, she first smelled it, it was a strange but intoxicating fragrance, at the same time that she felt disgust; she felt the need to smell him one more time.
She slowly opened her mouth a little, if breath were visible, you would only see a small white cloud come out of there out of rhythm. Stolas, who continued in his motionless state, only saw her, and this only made her the more nervous.
When she gathered enough courage, she stuck out her tongue just a little and tasted the tip of it, almost like a child who first tastes a popsicle before eating it whole. This caused Stolas' body to react involuntarily, causing his penis to twitch a little and causing her to move away from it for a few moments in surprise.
She took courage once more, this time she would lick it from the base to the tip, causing Stolas to make a slight moan. Then she licked it again, and another, and another –until she finally swallowed it whole.
She closed her eyes as she did so, something similar to the reflex action we do when the doctor inserts a wooden trowel into the patient's mouth to check for infections –therefore, after a few moments she pulled it out. As she was not used to this at all.
She took a deep breath and tried again, again she thought about the video she saw and tried to imitate it again, bobbing her head up and down as she found her own rhythm and her own limit.
Stolas for his part continued to enjoy the pampering he received from his daughter. He had already made himself comfortable and even at one point even put his hand on Octavia's head, who on several occasions stopped to get some air.
She couldn't describe what she really felt, a part of her was going wildly aroused while her logical side tried to figure out what was making her that way. It was not explained why, but she was greatly enjoying returning the favour to her father. Now it was her turn to give him what he wanted.
—N…now it's my turn. —Octavia stammered, straightening up again as a thread of saliva that joined her mouth to his dick stretched and broke.
She then leaned Stolas further down, forcing him to only hold himself slightly up by his shoulders which now rested on the seat of the sofa. Octavia then climbed on top of her father and slowly sat down so that his penis rubbed against her.
Her father, feeling her, wet with excitement, simply closed his eyes tightly, expecting to receive a sensitive overdose at once. However, she slowly sat up –as if she was afraid of hurting herself, even knowing full well that she had already had him inside her once and that nothing had happened to her.
Even with everything she'd done so far, even with all the planning and premeditated excitement. For the first time she felt truly vulnerable and afraid.
And as Stolas' penis went inside her, the one who received the overwhelming cloud of sensations was Octavia, who released a stammering moan as she arched her back and rested her arms tightly on her father's body.
She wanted to start moving, but that unusual fear had her immobile. Sensitively and emotionally petrified.
Little by little she rose a few centimetres to then let herself fall back down, each time she did so she released a weak moan to the wind in unison with his father.
And so, the minutes passed, and the night deepened. As they both sank into lust once more.
