"What my idiot brother means is, would you attend a formal BDSM junkies award ceremony with us?"
If Rhea were one of their lovesick fans or a kind neighbor, surely she'd have agreed and blindly followed them to whatever dark dungeon. But she wasn't of course. And every waking moment, she was always dreading their interactions and painting both good and bad images of the twins. There was almost no sane reason why she should help them out.
Her answer?
"...Fine."
And yet, here she was offering her soul to the twins.
"It's expected. Come on Zeven, we'll just deal with our own problems like we should..." he proceeded to close the door but quickly slammed the door open again as he realized what was going on.
"Wait what? Seriously? You'll help us out?"
Memories of the twins helping Rhea when she was stuck on the stairs came surfacing back. She thought she wouldn't make it out to see Damien's little concert. However the twins went out of their own way to help her. As much as she kept trying to paint them as sex crazed angels, they were still genuine people.
Most of all, Rhea convinced herself that it was only owing back the favor so she wouldn't feel indebted to them.
Rhea sighed and nodded. "Do I have to repeat myself again?"
Aziel overstepped his boundaries and pulled Rhea in for a hug. She practically froze to stone even though Sasha was nowhere in sight. His lewd hands were wrapped around her shoulders! Any moment now and she'd faint. Instead, she shrieked.
"Thank you, thank you neighbor girl!"
Rhea shot arrows at him and hissed. She suddenly remembered the weapon at her hand. "...I'll attack if you continue hugging me in three...two..."
He eyed the pan in her hand. Then, immediately unplucked himself from her. Rhea shivered in relieved disgust because he was finally away from her. And yet because of that simple gesture her heart was thumping like crazy. It only exceeded normal beating capacity when Zeven did that casual run of his hands along her head. Only then did her weapon drop to the ground in defeat.
He lightly ruffled her hair. "Thanks Rhea, we owe you."
Rhea shrank away but cleared her throat. "...I actually owe the both of you for helping me get to Damien's concert. I-I just didn't want you guys to use it against me in the future that's all there really is to it!"
Aziel rolled his eyes at her. "We'd never do something so low. And Rhea? You've promised to help us so...No taking it back no matter what happens tonight, alright?"
Rhea took a hesitating step back. "It's just an award ceremony, right? I'll hide in the corner, shaking and traumarized until you get your lewd award and then we can come back home...right?"
Both of the twins exchanged a worried look, as if having some telepathic conversation inside their heads. She began to fidget.
Aziel broke the silence first. "Heh, I forget how vanilla and innocent you are."
Okay, Rhea knew what BDSM entailed. She even watched their videos. NOT that she would ever tell them that. But she wasn't that vanilla and innocent for a twenty nine year old. The point being, she knew the mechanics of kinky sex.
Zeven calmly stepped foward to Rhea. "At the event, doms and subs usually attend together and one of our subs Angie had an unfortunate accident just now as you heard...Rhea, this is not an event for the vanilla and innocent. It's mostly an underground event with drugs and sex involved. Listen we appreciate your help but maybe it's best if you just stay home...We know you have trouble going outside..."
Drugs? Sex? She wasn't so sure now that it was almost an illegal kind of event. Rhea blinked at them because she believed it was just a simple award ceremony. However now as Zeven was explaining things to her, she began to question her good neighbor faith. But it was too late. Even though Zeven warned her and was offering her a way out, Aziel grabbed her without mercy and began leading her down the stairs.
Rhea shrieked and hissed at him.
"...Aziel. I don't think this is a good idea," Zeven's voice was firm and she was glad that she might not have to go through with her promise.
But as she turned around to bolt, Aziel spoke frightening words. "You be the reasonable twin. I'll be the one who makes the bad decisions. Rhea, I promise we won't let anything happen to you. Didn't you give us your word? For now, let's not waste any time..."
Aziel dialed a number on his phone while all three of them began to travel from her safe haven. She was being tugged by Aziel. Her claws were digging into his skin at this point but he kept on urging her along. Strangely enough, when she was like this with the twins she wasn't that afraid of facing the outside world.
It still made her nervous and a little shaky but it wasn't like she was gonna have a breakdown or faint. Possibly, it was the meds that Maya prescribed to her. She wanted to be better. For Damien. As much as she didn't like some nosy neighbor like Aziel telling her what to do, he was right in some regard that she wasn't doing her proper job as an aunt.
"...Hey Gabe it's me...We need your help transforming our neighbor girl into a kinky sub...Yeah I know but Angie got into a car accident and we haven't been able to reach our other subs...Angie's fine...What? Uh and no I'm not interested or rather, we're not interested in filming gay kinky sex Gabe...I swear Zeven and I will owe you for this...Please? What will it take?...Ah, fine. Okay we're on our way. I'll let you know when we're outside."
The only thing Rhea kept hearing repeating inside her head was, 'transforming our neighbor girl into a kinky sub'.
And then somehow, she ended up securely buckled in the back of the twin's shiny white sports car she never thought she'd step foot inside again. She clasped her hands together as the car took off. Rhea silently prayed inside her mind for her body to return back in one piece from whatever dark dungeon award ceremony they were headed off to.
