Chapter 5: Truth and Consequences
The rest of the afternoon was just chatting and getting ready for the dinner. Sabrina asked Tammy if she wanted to come. She said she would only agree if her mother said it was ok. Sabrina was going to have to call her Mom anyway to let her know Chris was here. So why not one more. She really didn't see it as being a problem. She picked up the phone and dialed her mother's number. Several rings later she was talking with her mother.
"Hello." Said Endora.
"Hi mom."
"Hi dear, how was your afternoon?"
"Good, just wanted to be sure you got my messages."
"Yes I did, seems it's going to be a full table tonight. Thanks for giving me some warning. Margrette and I got a few extra things for dinner."
"That's one reason I called how is Margrette?" She didn't really remember Margrette, she had been introduced to her but that's about as far as it went.
"She's good, it's been a long trip for her. You're in for a surprise when you see her."
"Well I don't remember her much, I think you introduced me but I really didn't pay attention."
"It's ok you'll have plenty of time to introduce yourself when you get here. "Endora paused and when she spoke again her tone was entirely different. "Sabrina, I want to have a word with you. We met your Employer in the hospital. She was quite upset thinking it was you there in the hospital. Why didn't you tell her about your twin sister?"
Sabrina just sank like the Titanic, oh this didn't bode well, she thought. "You met Zig Zag in the hospital!" Boy! She must have flipped when she saw my twin in that bed, she thought.
"She was yelling at a nurse trying to get "you" into a private room."
"Oh Oh..!" Going down, down, down, she hated this sinking feeling.
"You are going to have to apologize to her and I want to be there to see it."
Sabrina knew that her mom was not at all happy with her from her tone. She had been in situations like this before and she knew her mother was serious. "Mom I'll tell her tomorrow at work you don't need to come and see. I'll go into work specifically for that."
"No, you'll tell her tonight when you see her at dinner."
Sabrina was surprised to hear that. "What! You invited her to dinner..MOM!"
"Yes I did, she seemed very nice, after she calmed down. She also put Sabrina in a private room at the hospital, under her company's insurance."
"She did that?" She had underestimated Zig Zag again. Sabrina felt sick. She was going to have to come up with a really good apology now.
"Yes, you have some major apologizing to do. I'll see you soon dear, think of what you're going to say. Try to come a little early, I love you." The phone went dead and Sabrina gently put it back on it's cradle.
Sabrina sat down and thought about what just happened. Caught and hung out to dry, oh how she hated this feeling. Why did Zig Zag have to be so outgoing? On top of that she likes me a lot more than I wished she did. Geesh if I had told her I had an identical twin sister I would have never heard the end of it. Plus she would have had her come to the studio and shown her everything. It was bad enough that I know what my boss looks like on the outside and the inside but to have my sister know as well. Sabrina would have been so embarrassed. I just couldn't do that to her. Now everything has backfired, DAMN! She pounded her fists on the bed in anger and in a small way it did help some.
The small group stood on Sabrina's mother's doorstep. "Are you ready." Said Thomas.
"Just ring the door bell." Said Amy impatiently
The sound of the bell could be heard outside and soon Endora came to the door.
"Hello everyone, come on in. It's so good to see you all." Sabrina had gotten them here early, that was good.
"Mrs. Mustelidae this is for you." Thomas said as he handed Endora a bottle of wine.
"Why Thomas that's very nice of you and Amy, thank you. Just put your coats in the closet and go on in and meet my friend Margrette."
Sabrina and the others headed for the living room and when they entered Margrette rose from the couch to greet them. Sabrina, Chris, Amy, Thomas and Tammy's jaws all dropped to the floor. None of them were expecting to see a fitness poster girl. All of them had seen them in magazines but here was one live and in person. They all knew that she had to be healthier than all of them combined. Everyone tried to keep their composure and tried not to stare.
"Hello everyone, I'm Margrette but I'm sure you all know that." She gave them a big smile trying to put on her best face. She still was a bit uncomfortable among strangers. Seeing Endora's Sabrina there amongst them almost made her cry but she held back her tears. It had been a long time since she had seen her but she really hadn't changed all that much.
Endora came in and quickly made the introductions, knowing how Margrette was around strange people. "Margrette this is Amy and her fiancé Thomas, with them is Tammy a friend of Sabrina's and of course you know Sabrina. And lastly Sabrina's fiancé Chris."
"It's nice to meet all of you." She said in kind. "Especially you Sabrina you remind me so much of my own daughter."
"She's wonderful Mrs. Johnston we have a lot in common."
"I can just imagine, come tell me all about your meeting. That must have been something really spectacular."
With the introductions over, the night began in conversation. They had only to wait for two more people then dinner could begin. Everyone got into the conversation about fitness and everyone asked Margrette how much could she lift. The number that she responded with put Chris aback, she could almost lift him up over her head with no problems. This was one fit woman, he thought it also put thoughts about the gym back into his head. It wasn't long before the doorbell rang.
"Sabrina could you get that?" Said Endora.
She sighed knowing it had to be her that opened the door, "Ok I'm getting it." She approached the door with hesitation but soon she had turned the knob and opened the door. She was about to say, "Hi Zig Zag" but she couldn't get the words out. In front of her stood the largest female otter she had ever seen. She was huge, Sabrina had to stare up at her to see her face, which gave her the feeling of being very small. Her arms dwarfed anything she had seen on a man. She was broad at the shoulders with a very narrow waist. She also had a pair of breasts that came as close to the term watermelons as could be. Before Sabrina got a word out of her mouth she was picked up by this massive creature and almost hugged to death. It was then that she started screaming for her mother.
"MOM! HEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPP!"
The sound of Sabrina's screaming brought everyone running for the doorway. However it was Margrette who was the most surprised by the situation.
"Kathren! What on Earth are you doing here?" She said with astonishment.
"Margrette, Oh it's so good to see you. I knew I had found the right house as soon as Sabrina opened the door." The giant was smiling from ear to ear.
"Ah could you put me down please, I'm getting airsick." Said Sabrina sarcastically.
"Oh sorry about that Sabrina I got carried away." She gently put Sabrina back down. She took a deep breath and stared up at Kathren. She was still awestruck at her size and strength.
Margrette took it upon herself to make the introductions.
"Everyone I would like you to meet Kathren a personal friend of mine from back home."
"Kathren this is my best friend Endora Mustelidae, beside her is Amy Squirrel and her fiancé Thomas Wolfe, Tammy, Chris and last but not least Sabrina. Who is not the Sabrina you know."
"What!" She said in surprise and took another quick look at her. "I don't understand Margrette."
"It's a long story, one I will fill you in on in a minute. Endora could I use your husbands den for a few minutes I want to get Kathren up to speed here."
"No problem there. Down the hall and to the right."
"Thanks Endora."
"Kathren come we with me we have a lot to talk about." She really didn't need this she thought. She knew why Kathren had come but it was just one more thing that she didn't want to worry about.
When the two women were out of hearing range they all began to talk.
"I have never seen a larger woman in my life." Said Amy.
"She sure is big, that's for sure and in all the right places." Said Thomas.
Amy gave Thomas a glaring look and he smiled politely back.
"She picked me up like I was a feather, I'm sure she could have tossed me across the room no problem." Sabrina exclaimed.
"Well one thing is for sure Margrette was not expecting her at all. This may complicate things a little more. I'll go set one more plate, I might have to make that two she looks as though she could eat for two anyway." Endora said as she headed for the kitchen.
"Yeah that's for sure." Said Tammy as she was glancing at her own arm muscles that appeared in comparison very small.
Sabrina was about to shut the door when she heard someone clear his or her throat. She turned and there was her boss Zig Zag, in a beautiful but very conservative dress. Sabrina found herself speechless.
"Hello everyone." Said Zig Zag.
It seemed that Zig was trying to behave in the best manner possible and Sabrina was surprised to find her doing so. It was a bit unnerving. "Everyone this is Zig Zag my employer. Zig to the far right is Chris, then Tammy, Thomas and Amy. Mom's in the kitchen and Margrette is around here somewhere with a friend of hers.
"Hi." Said everyone in almost unison.
Sabrina took Zig Zag's coat and showed her to the living room. As she walked by Sabrina grabbed her arm and spoke to her quietly. "I want to talk to you privately a little later."
Zig Zag nodded and headed toward the living room where all the guests had gathered. This was going to be a fun evening she thought.
Margrette closed the door after Kathren. "Ok here's the deal you answer my questions first then I'll answer yours."
"That's fine. It's good to see you again Margrette, I've missed you."
There was a tone of truth to Kathrens voice that she knew too well. "Me too, now who told you I was here." She knew pretty well who told her but she had told a few people where she was going.
"Frank did."
"He wasn't supposed to tell you I was away."
"I phoned every 5 mins, he finally broke down and told me."
"Oh boy! Ok, so what did he tell you exactly."
"Not as much as I had hoped but he said his Aunt had died and that you had to fly out on short notice. He gave me the phone number at which you could be reached. I took it on myself to find the address and fly down."
She was smiling and looking at Margrette with a gleam in her eye. "You didn't have to do this."
"With your Aunt dying I thought you would need support and help. So I caught the first flight out and here I am."
"You must have almost caught the flight I took. So where are you staying."
"Actually I just got off the plane."
"What! You must be exhausted. Well this isn't my house if it was you could have stayed here. I'll get Endora to take you to my Aunts place. The keys to the apartment were in her purse when they recovered it. You can stay there. Ok, your turn."
"Ok. Who is that out there? And if that's not Sabrina where is she?"
"That is Sabrina's twin sister, it's been a family secret for years until now. My Sabrina is in the hospital, in a coma."
"What!" The large otter said in complete surprise. "How?"
"She was in an accident with my Aunt who died of the injuries she sustained. Sabrina received many cuts, bruises and a broken arm. Plus a severe head injury, she slipped into a coma not long after. It's a waiting game now Kathren."
"Oh my, I'm so sorry." The giant otter put her arms around Margrette and gave her a gentle hug. "What do the doctors say?"
In the embrace of the giant otter, Margrette felt somehow relieved, she felt safe in the arms of Kathren. "They won't know until she awakens, they told me brain injuries are tricky things."
"I'm so sorry, I'm so glad I came now."
In a very soft voice Margrette replied "I am too."
The two held each other for sometime then finally let go. The large otter had tears in her eyes. Margrette found a tissue and wiped them away. "For someone as big and as tough as you, you sure get emotional."
The large otter smiled. "So now what? I think I have intruded on something."
"Yeah, you really surprised me, although I think it's going to be alright. Kathren I haven't had time to tell Endora about us yet so if you could be on your best."
"Understood my lips are sealed." She said with a smile.
"Then lets go, you head off into the living room and make yourself at home. I'm sure everyone there will want to talk to you. While I go talk with Endora."
"Ok, I like meeting new people." She gave Margrette a kiss on the cheek and headed for the living room.
The two exited the study and each headed in a different direction. Zig Zag was sure all the people were pulling her leg about the giant female otter; but when she came into the room her eyes bulged out of her head. She had seen many females who were buffed, mostly like Margrette but this otter was something else. She saw a potential star if only she could convince her. The gears were turning.
Kathren introduced herself to everyone and they all sat down to talk. Except for Margrette who was in the kitchen with Endora. The kitchen was full of aromas of cooking food and for a moment Margrette forgot what she was here for. Then she came back to her senses.
"Endora I'm sorry about Kathren's arrival, believe me it was a shock to see her myself."
"It's ok Margrette one more to the group we have already isn't going to make that much difference. Although I don't think I've ever seen a woman so big before. What species is she?"
"She is a rare Alaskan Otter, just like the taurs you see once and awhile. They are very few in number and as you said she is big. However she is not big for her species, she hasn't finished growing yet."
"You mean she's going to get bigger than that!"
"Oh yeah, I've seen pictures of her parents, she'll grow at least two more feet in height and fill out a lot more."
"WOW that's incredible."
"It sure is." She sighed to herself. "Endora there is something we have to talk about but I don't think right now is the right time. I know you need answers from me but tonight isn't right." She wanted to tell her everything and she was going to but it would totally ruin the evening.
"It's ok Margrette, I know you have things to say and you'll tell me when your ready. Tell Kathren she is welcome to stay for dinner with us."
"That's great she felt bad about intruding. Oh I'll have to get you or Sabrina to take her over to the apartment complex. Kathren's going to stay there, she just got off the plane and came straight here, so she has no where to go."
Endora had always liked having guests, it was something she enjoyed. Most people couldn't stand having people in their homes but it always appealed to her. "Nonsense, she's not going to stay there alone, she can stay here. The other room upstairs is empty however the bed will be a bit small for her."
Margrette was not really surprised by Endora's offer, she knew her too well. "You sure you're ok with this."
"Certainly, you go tell her."
Margrette gave her friend a hug. "I don't know what I would do without you."
"I suspect get into a lot of trouble." She smiled and gave her a wink.
"I believe you're right."
"Let's just give the food a check and then go and join the others. Warren should be home soon. He told me he would try to get out as early as he could."
Sabrina's Father Warren arrived and again everyone got introduced. Warren thought that if he got introduced to anymore people he was going to have to add on to the house. Then it was onto the meal. There was a wide variety of things to eat and everyone stuffed themselves to almost popping. Clean up went quickly since everyone volunteered to help. Sabrina took her mom away from the kitchen and together they went and found Zig Zag. The den seemed to be the place to visit tonight. Now with everyone inside Sabrina closed the door.
"I hope you are enjoying the evening Miss Zig Zag" Said Endora.
"Just call me Zig Zag, and I am having a wonderful time. Thank you very much for inviting me. Now what is this about, you two?"
Endora looked at her daughter. "Sabrina it's your turn."
"Zig it looks like I owe you a big apology." She didn't look her in the eye, in fact the floor looked pretty good about now. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about my twin sister and I feel horrible about what I did." She raised her head and now looked into her eyes. It was difficult to do but she felt Zig deserved it. "I put you in an awkward situation that never should have happened. Please accept my apology."
Zig was taken aback, she knew Sabrina and this wasn't really like her. Sabrina was the most honest person she knew. She must have had a really good reason for not telling her the truth. Then a light went on in her head and it occurred to her as to why. "You didn't tell your Sister where you worked did you?" She knew she had the answer.
It was Sabrina's turn to be surprised, now that she figured it out she was afraid that this would just compound things making it even worse. "Yeah", she paused to gather herself. "Zig your profession is not exactly the most accepted form of employment."
"Sabrina!" Endora was shocked that her daughter would say such a thing. Although it did have a ring of truth, adult film stars were usually looked down upon.
"Mom it's true." Sabrina sighed. "Zig that wasn't meant to sound mean or.." She didn't get to finish her sentence.
"It's ok Sabrina, Mrs. Mustelidae, it is true most of the time. I can see why she held back in not telling me about her sister. If I had come around it might have made the other Sabrina very uncomfortable and I suspect you were just trying to protect her. Am I right Sabrina?"
"Yeah, Zig you hit the nail on the head. I've become accustomed to you and your crew, you're all a great bunch of people but sometimes people don't always look at the people just what they're associated with. In fact Sabrina really doesn't know the whole truth either."
That surprised Endora but she was sure that Sabrina would remedy that when Sabrina woke up. "So what did you tell her." She was curious, plus if she had to play along with the charade then she better know the whole story.
Sabrina looked at looked at her mother knowing that she was digging. "I just told Sabrina that I worked with a small film company. That was now in pre-production on things and that I wasn't really needed at the moment."
"Well that is believable." Endora said.
"You're right Sabrina being associated with the Porn industry does have it's drawbacks. I've had many an object thrown at me. Also I've been called every name in the book. Mothers look at me with so much hate it could make the polar ice caps melt. It's ok Sabrina, your apology is accepted and I appreciate the fact that you came and talked with me."
"Whew! I'm so glad that you understood Zig." Sabrina felt better but she still regretted not telling her now. "Mom told me you put Sabrina in a private room that was totally unexpected. I don't know what to say, thank you."
"I want to see your sister get better Sabrina and if I can, meet her. I will refrain from telling her what I do for a living if that is your wish."
"Well let me feel out the water, she may not have any problem with it. I haven't really talked to her about this subject. But you meeting her that's not a problem, I'll be happy to introduce you."
"Ok, that seems fair. Well if there's nothing else, let's go join the others. I want to talk to Kathren a bit more. She is a most interesting person, in all respects."
"I know what you mean." Said Sabrina. "She's so shiny and big, and BLUE!! WOW!!! She picked me up like I was nothing."
"She picked you up?"
"Yeah you hadn't arrived yet, she thought I was the other Sabrina. She picked me up and hugged me." She gave her ribs a slight rub.
Zig Zag's mind began to drift into naughty thoughts about Kathren and herself but were soon interrupted by Sabrina.
"Zig! Earth to Zig."
"Huh! Oh sorry Sabrina my mind was wandering. You are right about her being a really interesting colour, never seen a blue furred otter."
"Yes, I want to find out if she is only one in her family that colour. Ready to go back and see the others?"
"Good idea, ok ladies this conversation is over lets go out and have some fun." Zig said with a grin.
They joined the others and soon a big conversation began to brew, everyone got involved and a good time was had by all. As the time got late, Amy began to get extremely tired. It was a signal to the others that it was time to call this night a rap.
Amy, Thomas, Sabrina, Chris and Tammy all said their goodnights. They had come in two cars and all headed back to Amy's Apartment. Sabrina told her mother she would call her in the morning. She gave her a hug and was off.
Zig Zag conveyed her enjoyment of the entire evening to Endora. Zig told her she hoped she could return the favor sometime. Endora said not to be a stranger and to drop by once and awhile. Zig was thrilled to hear that and she would be sure to take her up on that. She wanted to learn more about Endora and Margrette, they had turned out to be a very interesting people.
Warren gave his wife a peck on the cheek and told her that he was going to bed. She knew that he had figured that she wanted to be alone with her friends. He had always been smart that way. That left just the women downstairs.
"Well looks like we're finally alone." Endora announced. "Kathren the bed in your room is a bit small. Sorry about that."
"Oh there are not many beds that are my size anyway, mostly I sleep on the floor. If you have a sleeping bag I'll just open it up and sleep on that."
"Sleeping bags we have." She smiled and was glad that the room wasn't going to be a problem.
"Thank you Mrs. Mustelidae for letting me stay here. I'm sorry I arrived unexpectedly."
"Call me Endora and it's my pleasure, any friend of Margrette's is a friend of mine." She smiled but she knew something was going on. Kathren would not have flown all the way out here on a whim just to see Margrette. Endora looked around, found two large sleeping bags and with Kathrens help they got the room ready.
As they worked Endora realized that Kathren had no luggage when she arrived. "Uh, Kathren you did have some luggage didn't you?"
"Yup, it's at the airport, I had to leave it there. Travelling with them was proving to be difficult."
"I can understand that, tomorrow I'll take you there to get your things."
"Thanks Endora I appreciate you doing that. I think I'll turn in. I'm sure you have plenty of things to talk to Margrette about. I had a wonderful evening Endora you made me feel right at home. Most people don't give me a chance, they just stare or make fun of me."
"I'm glad to have you here Kathren, I hope to get to know you more tomorrow."
"Me to."
"The bathroom is the fourth door down I'll leave a small light on in there to help."
"Thanks Endora again for everything."
"Anytime, night Kathren."
Endora thought to herself that Kathren was indeed a very nice person. Even though she was different looking that was for sure. She seemed to have quite a background and it would be interesting to learn more about her. Now it was downstairs to see Margrette, maybe she will supply some answers I am looking for.
She was right, she found Margrette in the kitchen making coffee for both of them.
"Could this be one of those all nighter's that we used to have." Endora said.
"Could be." Said Margrette. "I think we're due for one." She brought the two mugs of coffee to the table and sat down. "I really don't know where to start Endora there is so much to tell."
Endora looked at her friend, she could tell that she was extremely stressed. This conversation would help some but it wouldn't take away the pain. It was something that had to be done and she was glad she was here to listen. "Then how about you start at the beginning that should be a good place to start."
"The beginning.." She sighed it was going to be a long night. "It began a little before Sabrina moved out. Frank and I really hadn't done much together as of late. I had many things happening at work and he was way to busy to even notice me. Sabrina felt ignored and well we had a few fights over that. Sabrina finally called it quits and moved out, she felt trapped in something she didn't have anything to do with. Meaning she felt she was somehow coming between me and Frank. Which was untrue, we had our own problems and she wasn't part of them. I tried to explain this to her but she had it in her own mind that she was somehow part of what was going on. So she moved out, it was one of the saddest days of my life."
"So Sabrina moving out started all this?"
"No not exactly the ball was rolling down hill already so to speak, she just sped things up somewhat."
"Then it was really bad timing for her to go."
"Yes, she picked the worst time to leave, but I couldn't stop her. She had her own life to live and so I let her go."
"So that left you with Tabitha."
"Yes, that too. I found out very soon that Sabrina did more with Tabitha than I realized and I regretted that I did not take more of a notice."
"Seems your Sabrina has many things in common with mine. Sabrina is very involved with Tabitha and she keeps a good eye on her. She also takes care of her if I'm pushed sometimes."
"She sounds like my daughter." She sighed again and took a sip of her coffee. "After Sabrina moved out I found I needed a sitter and that took some doing but I finally found one, but all the while I was falling apart. Frank was doing more and more business trips and they were pushing things at work. Then something snapped and well I collapsed at work. I was taken to the hospital, it took them forever to get a hold of Frank but he came as soon as he could. I was physically and mentally exhausted. The doctor told me to take a vacation from work and to stay home. My doctor thought it was best that I just concentrate on raising Tabitha. So I took an extended leave from work."
"Sounds like a lot was happening."
"I remember vaguely calling you a couple of times not explaining too much. I was very close to getting admitted into the loony bin."
Endora never realized at that time how bad things had been for her, how bad things still were for her. She then realized that when she asked Margrette to keep Tabitha it was right in the middle of her own troubles. "Margrette why didn't tell me you were having so many problems? I would have never asked you to take Tabitha."
"That's why I never told you. You helped me in ways you will never ever imagine when you gave me your unborn child. What you asked was nothing in comparison. You reached out for help and I threw you a line. Tabitha was the best thing to happen to me in those times anyway, in many ways she kept me sane. If I didn't have her then we wouldn't be having this conversation. I would be locked away in some asylum. You did right Endora, you did right."
