Watching Jenny spasm on the floor, was no longer shocking nor were her moans. Emily was pretty much waiting for it to end. But it seemed to be endless, Jenny had even fallen unconscious at some point.
Emily turned to the ever skeptical Haley who was looking at her, with suspicion in her eyes. Emily was starting to wonder what had she ever done to this girl to make her doubtful of her and everything she does?
She wasn't the one who killed that fat man, that was Fenrir. She didn't kill Phil, that was Heidi. And she didn't kill Heidi that was Vixie, not once had she killed anyone. Not even that cannibal, she sent Fenrir to kill.
'Okay the last one is a bit of a stretch, but the others, weren't by my intention.'
"Are you going to.. kill me?" Haley asked, fearful despite her somewhat sturdy voice.
Looking at Haley, Emily wondered what she saw in Jenny, and why she lacked any self-confidence? She was easily the first human she's ever encountered, who she really thought was beautiful. Even before the apocalypse.
Emily never understood what people saw in supermodels, why they considered those women objectively the most beautiful, while she didn't? She had wondered despite being attracted to women herself? And at some point wondered if she was a little flawed.
Because by no means the girl she had being dating, nowhere near, as good looking as Haley here was. Even the plain looking Emily from before the apocalypse, was considerably prettier.
"What do you see in Jenny, I'm genuinely curious?" Emily finally asked, while she sat on the edge of the bed.
Haley seemed surprised by that out of pocket question. And for some odd reason, her suspicion of Emily grew. Emily internally, immediately resigned, there was no winning with this girl.
Haley pulled her legs to her chest, and wrapped her hands around them. And sank into them. Emily thought she wasn't going to get any word from this girl and was about to stand up and leave.
"Jenny was the first person to reach out to me, while I withdrew into despair after I.. after I.. I Iost my.." she swallowed a hard lump, and Emily could already imagine tears were coming out.
"After my.. parents were killed by those monsters," the last part was filled with so much rage, even Emily had to raise an eyebrow. That rage, the kind so hard to swallow and force down, the kind that keeps boiling inside, endlessly, like a burning star.
She knows that kind of rage, it's the kind of rage, that keeps burning within her every time, she looks up. And is stared back by the mocking, cold unfeeling gaze of the red moon.
Emily's lips curved into terrifying smile, filled with twisted pleasure at the expanse of Haley's pain. In her mind Emily couldn't help repeat over and over that she might have found her—a pawn that shares the same goal as her.
Emily's heart started racing with strange excitement. She stood up from the bed, and approached Haley. When she was close, she crouched down, and Haley lifted her head.
Tears were dripping down her face, filled with tortured sadness. But there, beneath the surface was a fire burning, boiling at the thought of one day serving a much deserved revenge. It was the kind of fire only dimmed by powerlessess.
"Haley, want to take a walk with me?" Emily asked with a twisted smile.
Haley's first instinct was to refuse, but curiousity got the better of her. She nodded, and Emily's smile widened even further. She stood up first, and outstretched her hand towards Haley, and she took it. With a bare minimum lift, Haley was already on her feet, with a slightly shocked expression.
She couldn't believe the power held in Emily's slender arms. Emily on the hand was tugging at her connection with Fenrir and Vixie, summoning them, so to speak.
And it didn't take more than 15 seconds, and they were already there. Vixie was the first to speak, "at your service, Master~" she proceeded to wink, and strike a pose.
"Stop being dramatic Vixie, you and Fenrir will stay here and keep watch of Jenny here."
Fenrir was about to complain, but Emily shot her a stern look. And she hung her head down. Vixie settled for an amused pout and a slight shrug.
"Master~ if she wakes up, and becomes annoying, can I kill her?"
Emily found it increasingly hard not to roll her eyes, at Vixie's weird antics. And poor choice of words that just made Haley's blood freeze.
"No killing, if you kill the girl, the next head would be yours, got it?"
Instead of being dismayed the same way Fenrir would, her smile widened. And her eyes glinted with madness. She then proceeded to make an exaggerated bow, "Oh yes of course my liege, I would gladly offer my head to you."
Emily palmed her forehead, and audibly exhaled. She was done. She couldn't take it anymore. She'll have to accept Vixie is beyond her capabilities to handle, she's simply an S-class level unkillable boss.
Emily decided to grab Haley's hand, and drag her past the dejected Fenrir, and the ever cheerful Vixie.
"Haley?" Vixie called after them. "Sorry about Dana and Evelyn, I didn't mean to kill them, so quickly. I was just so annoyed at them. I mean.. if I had to hear one more time about Dana yapping about her dead father. I might have killed myself instead, so no harm done, right?
"You monster! You kill them," then Haley seemed to remember. "Sasha, what did you do to her? What the fuck did you do to Sasha?!!"
Haley wanted to run forward and punch the smug look on Vixie's face. But Emily tender grip was iron tight
"Haley, I'm truly hurt, you don't remember me?" Vixie's voice then completely changed. "Haley If you're in love with Jenny, go for it, who knows she might die before you're able to confess' remember that?"
"Sasha," Haley whispered. Surprised was laced in that single word.
She was shocked, disgusted, horrified, and was feeling a plethora of emotions. She couldn't bother to process right now, so she let Emily drag her out of the room, with not another word uttered.
As they stepped out of the apartment room, "Good work Vixie," Emily whispered in a voice only her, Fenrir and Vixie could hear. The praise was something Vixie was actually vexed about, but she was never the one to let go of a chance to open her mouth.
"I'm always pleased to serve Master~"
