"Well, due to that, there are a lot of solo devils out there and not many angels. The majority of the population, however, has one of each, and darling is one of them. Of course, most of them don't make themselves as noticeable as I...." I tugged up the collar of my turtleneck. Okay, so I made a bad angel. Did it really matter now?

"And is that a bad thing, exactly?" She asked. "Unless you let the other one run rampant, that is."

"....I suppose not. He's in a cast right now." Heheh. I still had the scar from that fight, though dolls don't have those, so it wasn't making an appearance right now. Oh God, I really am a bad angel.

2015-04-22 05:04:42

●

"Oh? And why is that?" He didn't seem too bad after all. Even if he was in a doll currently.

2015-04-22 05:05:40

🌀

.....she doesn't hate me anymore? ....that's.... "Um, well, I gave him a taste of my right hook. And left foot. And various other knuckle-laden appendages." I might've hit him with my wing, too. Not sure.

2015-04-22 05:08:46

●

No she still hates you, just less.

Terezi chuckled. "Guess he deserved it, huh?"

2015-04-22 05:09:47

🌀

Sigh.

"Naturally. He was being downright insulting to darling. The entire self-deprecation problem? That's his fault." I wasn't smiling. He was a complete arse.

2015-04-22 05:13:23

●

I was joking.

"Oh really? Yeah, then he deserves to stay in that cast forever. "

2015-04-22 05:14:08

🌀

........I am not amused.

"Yes." I spread-eagled on my back on the arm of the couch. "Unfortunately, that was a lucky break. When he recovers, who knows how that will go." I sighed.

2015-04-22 05:17:05

●

Of course you're not.

"Well, I assume it's going to be bad, since you're not there to keep him in line."

2015-04-22 05:18:32

🌀

..........

"You also assume that I'm not going back at some point. It'll be at least a little while until he's at full functionality."

2015-04-22 05:20:47

<3.

"Yes, but I have no idea how this....thing...even works. I've never got into learning about bonds for that reason."

2015-04-22 05:22:15

🌀

"I'm not even entirely sure myself. It's not as if I had someone to explain it to me. At least you had that. For all I know, I might be stuck here for good."

2015-04-22 05:25:19

●

"Who, a guy who ended up almost nearly killing me, and weakened our bond, a guy who has a beyond healthy obsession over me, and Lance, but Lance doesn't quite get why I'm against turning people. From the way I see it, we're both in the same shitty boat. "

2015-04-22 05:28:02

🌀

"It seems so." There should be a bonding tutor or something, because both of us desperately needed one. This boat was full of holes, lacked an onboard motor, and had a bucket for an oar. I stretched my arms out above my laid-back form and stared at my small felt fingers. Would being stuck this way really be /so/ bad? I could go wherever I wanted, to an extent, could talk to people, and I didn't even change in appearance aside from the obvious. Though I'd probably end up in a circus or government facility somewhere. Maybe if I were normal human size. And not fabric.

Terezi sat up. "As much as I'd love to talk. I need to get some sewing done, and I can't focus when a doll is staring at me like it's a living thing. So if you don't mind I'll be in my room." She made her way to that area.

2015-04-22 05:47:38

🌀

I called after her "Technically speaking, I am!" and went to find something to do. Aside from stare at the ceiling and consider abandoning my reason for existence, that is.

Tassek had actually gotten a decent amount of sleep for once, and managed to avoid passing out in the middle of class today. Just before he could leave campus and start for home, Lizzy came up behind him and caressed his neck. He yelped and spun around, swinging his calculus textbook like a weapon. He stopped it in midair and almost fell over from the momentum when he saw who it was, but still began backing away. "L-Lizzy, d-do you need something?..." She slipped around and got between him and the street, stretching her curved frame across the gate. "Of course I do, Tas-kun. I need you to stay right here, with me~...." There was no way out except through her, and yeah, that wasn't happening any time soon. "Y-you know what I'd like, Lizzy? It would make me very happy if you would just...let me past...." "Sometimes good doesn't always make people happy. But you'll be much happier in the long run if you stay here, sweetheart." "What? What are you..." She put a finger to his lips. "Shhh. Just stay here. With me." She cocked her head and gave him a sugary, obviously insane smile.

Terezi spent the rest of the night catching up on the wedding dresses she needed to finish up on. She left the door open, just in case Seculus were to scream about needed something. Thankfully he didn't.

The next day, it was cloudy, extremely cloudy. Cloudy enough to the point of she wasn't entirely surprised she sensed a vampire. /A/ vampire. Cale? That's who she assumed it was. Though, she proved herself wrong when she heard her room window open. Spyders? Shit.

Though the problem was, before she could even properly react, he was already behind her. She felt a small prick in the back on her neck, and suddenly she couldn't move.

The last thing she saw as she fell to the ground and everything fading to black was Spyders picking up the Seculus doll and replacing it with a hypodermic needle.

2015-04-22 06:05:48

🌀

The second dishwasher detergent douche entered the room, I went very still on my perch by the window. No sense giving him a reason to rip me in half. I didn't however, expect him to pick me up for no apparent reason, and, oh God, is that a needle? What was going on? So he'd come in through the window, injected Terezi with something, and....oh dear. We are so, so very screwed.

Tassek paced back and forth in front of Lizzy, out of her reach. There were other ways out, but she'd probably reach them before he did. He obviously couldn't climb the fence. This must be a diversion, to keep him away from Terezi, so he had to get past, and now! Dammit, where was that clever little voice when he needed it?

2015-04-22 06:16:46

There was a slam of a door. A long haired woman rushed inside a bedroom with a bag in her hands.

"Calm down, Terezi. He just left for Paris fifteen minutes ago. He won't know you're leaving." A male's voice was calling from downstairs.

"That is what you think." The heavily french accented woman called back, stumbling over the English. "He be back soon, think he forgot something."

She knocked over a stack of English books as she moved, and immediately threw them into her bag when she saw them.

"Terezi, calm down. You're not thinking clearly."

"I am!"

The sound of foot steps was heard as she frantically packed. She turned and a longer haired Lance was in the doorway. "You said so yourself that he hasn't heard a single thought from you in over two months. It's weakening Terezi. He won't know until he comes back, but you need to go now." His voice was a lot calmer. "You ready?"

She nodded and then stopped. "Wait. One thing more." She reached into her closet and pulled out a silver dagger. She grabbed the bundle of her hair and swiped the blade across it, letting the longer locks falls to the floor and and brushed the now shorter hair behind her. "Ready." She threw the dagger into her bag.

Terezi awoke from her dream with a gasp, feeling dizzy. Where was she? Fuck, both her legs hurt. She rolled over and felt rope around her wrists.

"About time you woke up." Spyders announced. It sounded like he was sitting on the other side of the room. She opened her eyes. Where was she?

2015-04-22 06:38:15

🌀

I was trapped in a handbag. A /bloody/. /Handbag/. I suppose Spyders had dragged Terezi off somewhere and left me with the obsessive stalker as a sort of accessory. For a minute I could hear darling's voice, then they both stopped talking and all I heard was his pacing footsteps. From what I could gather, the girl was blocking the school gate. He needed a distraction. I dug around in the dark, the lack of actual retinas giving me an advantage, and scrounged up a pocketknife. Holy shit, had she been following him around carrying /this/ the entire time? No time to worry about that now, Seculus, worry about the matter at hand instead. The handbag was zipped close, but I maneuvered the blade of the knife between the teeth at one end and pried the little tag back. From there, I thrust the knife through the opening and into her side.

I was very aware that it wouldn't do any actual damage, but the pained squeal was satisfying nonetheless. She retreated from her goalie position to examine the wound, and darling, that little genius, took the opportunity to vault past her and down the street. I doubted either had seen me, but just in case, I closed the bloodied knife and ducked back into the shadows of the handbag, going still again. Instead of actually checking for the source of the surprise attack, though, the girl disregarded it entirely and sprinted after darling. Did he even know where he was going? Even I had no idea where they'd gone. I'm sure he had some kind of plan, though.

....scratch that. He's gone. She turned a corner to find the sidewalk empty. After looking around and sniffing the air to no avail, she made a pouting face and turned to stalk back towards wherever Spyders had gone. That's when I peeked out and noticed darling come out of an alley behind us, staying a ways back and following as silently as he could manage. /Clever boy./

She tried to sputter out a 'fuck you', but it ended up being slightly slurred and inaudible. Though her gaze scanned the room. She was in...a log cabin of sorts?

"Morning to you to." Spyders laughed. "As you can see, you're at my own home. A bit far from the city, can't you tell. No one will know your here so your little friends can't save you."

Everything was fuzzy. She used her knuckles to push herself up but fell back down.

"Yes, I took care of that as well. Who knew the human anesthetics could work on vampires as well. " He twirled another needle in his fingers, cap still on it. "Broke your legs so you couldn't run, but I'm not afraid to put you back under if need be."

"...What....do you want." She groaned.

"Me? Well I just want you to come home with me. Which we will be doing. Though, Lizzy said she wanted to have some fun with you, so I can't deny it." He stood up. "I mean, you broke our bond and all, so it's only fair. Though, I won't let her kill you. No. Your much more valuable to me than her."

2015-04-22 06:59:49

It took bloody forever to get wherever we were going, and if I'd had muscles, they'd be cramping from holding still for so long. I could hear owls, so we must have been in a forest or at least the countryside. Where in heaven did they find one of those even near New York? That didn't matter, though. Darling had been trailing further and further behind as the crowds thinned, then disappeared, and was now apparently darting from tree to tree in order to stay out of sight. Well, it's not like he isn't skinny enough to pull it off. Lizzy opened a heavy-sounding door and squealed, with delight this time instead of pain. "You did it! She's here!" I couldn't sense any thoughts from Terezi, only a haze of pain. Poor dear, what had they done to her?

2015-04-22 07:06:48

●

Wait, what? Broken? How could she even-?

"Yes, I know its heard to believe, but it does happen sometimes." Spyders walked over to Terezi and knelled over her. "Though, Lizzy and I's bond isn't anywhere near as good as ours was, but that's okay. She'll be dead and out of our hair soon enough. Just like everyone else you knew."

Terezi scooted away, but Spyders grabbed her arm and pulled her back, his gaze going to her hair. "You know, I never understood why you cut your hair." he ran his fingers through it. "You were such a beautiful monster with those long stands of yours."

The two of them then sensed another vampire. Spyders stood up. Terezi looked over and saw Lizzy at the door.

"Yes. She is here." His voice wasn't ask calm when speaking to her as it was to Terezi. "Though, just give me a few seconds and you can have playtime with her. We don't need her screaming. "

"But that's the best part!" Was the girl this completely messed up /before/ she was turned? Probably. Deciding it'd be worth the risk, I stuck my hand slightly out of the handbag and gave Terezi a thumbs-up. Hopefully it wouldn't be seen, but Spyders seemed too preoccupied with being vaguely aggravated with the girl to care. Hopefully.
