{We open inside the apartment. Roxi packing her bag, complete with costume in large backpacks. Roxi zips her bag up and places it on the bed, before checking her phone for the time.}
Roxi – Where the heck is she?
{Roxi walks out of the bedroom to the living room, plopping herself down on the couch to relax a little. She can’t help but feel tense, and a burning feeling in her stomach. She takes a few deep breathes, trying to calm herself down as she starts to fidget around on the couch. Roxi puts her face in her hands and continues to take deep breathes.}
Roxi – Not… now…
{Roxi stands up, pacing frantically, finally hunching over the arm of the couch, breathing heavily. She grits her teeth, and finally, is able to get herself under control, and not a moment too soon, as just then, the emergency elevator opens and Keira returns with a smile on her face and a bag of candy.}
Keira – I’m back! Look at all the candy I got!
Roxi – I see… You… ready to go?
{Keira sees the sweat, shining off Roxi’s forehead.}
Keira – Are… you okay?
Roxi – Just a…. flare up, I’ll be okay. You need to go finish packing, we have to go in a little while…
{Keira sets her bag on a nearby table, a nonchalant look on her face.}
Keira – We have plenty of time. It’s not til midnight. Relax. You look really stressed anyway.
Roxi – I said I’ll be fine. But the sooner we get to Amy, the sooner she can, you know, maybe help us?
Keira – I know, I know. But you need to settle down before you give yourself gray hairs.
Roxi – … I know where you sleep!
Keira – I think this calls for… a little bit of fun!
Roxi – Keira, what are you talking about?
Keira – You, me… some ropes… a paddle…
Roxi – Keira, this really isn’t the time…
{Keira walks over to Roxi and runs her hands up Roxi’s back, before wrapping her arms around Roxi’s waist, before gently kissing her arms and back.}
Keira – Come on… just a little fun…
{Roxi tries to keep a straight face, but finds herself licking her lips in anticipation Her hand grips Keira’s wrist in a half-hearted attempt to break her grip, but soon Roxi is just going with it, as Keira starts kissing her neck. Roxi finds herself falling back on the couch, allowing Keira to work her away around and Straddle Roxi, Roxi tries to push Keira away}
Keira – Come on… play with me…
{Roxi can’t help but smile as the two begin to make out. With Roxi sufficenly softened up, Keira takes her by the arm and pulls her up, leading her towards the bedroom Inside, Keira slowly pulls Roxi’s arms behind her back, and begins to tie her up. Keira can now feel Roxi’s body trembling and jerking around. Keira leans and whispers to her}
Keira – You can let it out. It’s okay…
Roxi – I…. I… can’t.
Keira – Just for us…
{Roxi can no longer contain her own excitement, and her feelings. Finally, her movement become less jerky, and eventually, she stops moving, and her breathing slows. She looks up at Keira with a sly smile on her face.}
Keira – There you are….
Roxi – Finally!
Keira – I think it’s time for you to play… Lust.
Roxi – It’s been far too long. Now, what do we do first?
Keira – We have an old friend to see, and she can join us in the fun.
Roxi – Good… very good…
Keira – Now, let’s enjoy ourselves before we enjoy… her.
{Roxi and Keira, no longer themselves, share a laugh before going back to making out.}
{Sin and Lust, now seemingly in complete control, walk in the woods nears a remote location, they walk up on the house, where Roxi and Kiera’s good friend Amy Drew is sitting on her porch, waiting.}
Amy – What took you guys so long?
Keira – We… have a little work to do.
Roxi – Yeah… it’s all set now.
Amy – I expected you guys a few hours ago. Look, I’m taking Kat trick or treating, and then I have to show you some stuff, before we go out.
Roxi – Ooh… what kind of stuff?
{Amy looks at Roxi questioningly, and Roxi’s voice clearly implied something dirty.}
Amy – Uh… We went over this… I need you guys for the hunt tonight.
Keira – Forgive… Roxi, she’s had a rough couple of days, she’s getting all forgetful.
{Amy cocks her head slightly, obviously confused by the bizarre behavior of her superhero friends.}
Amy – Okay, well, take it easy inside, and I’ll be back in a little while. After I put her to bed, I’ll talk to you guys about tonight.
Roxi – We’ll be waitng…
{Amy goes back inside as Roxi and Keira and follow her inside the house. They both sit on the couch, with almost a knowing smirk on their faces. Amy’s daughter Kat walks by them…}
Kat – Hi!
“Lust†– Hello little one. I’ve been waiting to meet you.
Kat – I know. You are Mommy’s friend.
{Roxi smirks an evil grin.}
“Lust†– That’s right… Mommy’s close… personal… friend.
{Noticing the weird vibe there, Amy interjects.}
Amy – Okay sweetheart, let’s go get some candy!
{Amy and Kat walk out the door, Amy walks Kat down the steps, but can’t help but look back at the house suspiciously. She gets Kat into the car, before taking one last look at the house before getting in herself, and driving off. Inside, Roxi stands up and stretches, and Sin eases back on the couch.}
“Lust†– She is very pretty.
“Sin†– I know. She’ll be a fine first course.
‘â€Lust†– What do we do first?
“Sin†– This is our time to do as we please.
“Lust†– Freedom, I dreamed of this day. Staying inside her, and losing some of myself to Tuck was becoming unbearable.
“Sin†– No worrying about that now. I think it’s time we actually, tested the limits of these bodies.
“Lust†– I agree. But we should save some for her.
“Sin†Hmm… I suppose you’re right. She’s too good to pass up, isn’t she?
“Lust†– Strangely, I never sensed any real desire from this one for her.
“Sin†– This one. This one had it bad.
“Lust†– Well, who are we to disappoint?
{The two once again begin to make out and walk towards the nearest bedroom.}
{It’s an hour later, and Sin and Lust have apparently finished…whatever they were doing, as Lust lounges on the couch arms behind her head her naked body covered by pillows. “Sin†returns from the bedroom in her underwear as she’s putting on her pants and shirt.}
“Sin†– Good?
“Lust†– Oh, it was enjoyable.
“Sin†– I knew you would enjoy the freedom.
“Lust†– Why didn’t you let me out sooner?! This is fantastic. I never want to go back in.
“Sin†– I made a deal with this one. Just for tonight.
“Lust†– What? What are you talking about?
“Sin†– She made the choice to save that one’s life. I may be her better half, but I can be fair. Once the events of tonight are settled, we’ll make our escape later.
“Lust†– I’m not going back.
“Sin†– Yes. You are.
“Lust†– That deal is between you and that weakling. I made no such deal. I’m staying out. I can feel her wanting me to come out. She needed me to come out. No more hiding all her desires. Now, I can make her act on them…
“Sin†– I said no.
“Lust†– You can’t stop me. I have full control of her now. I’m not about to give that up.
{Outside, Amy pulls up in her car.}
“Lust†– She’s back. Excellent.
“Sin†– Go put your clothes on.
“Lust†– I’m more comfortable like this…
“Sin†– No in front of the child!
{Lust grudgingly gets up and walks into another room. Amy re-enters with Kat.}
Amy – Hey. We’re back. Where’s Roxi?
“Sin†– She’s…. in the bathroom.
Amy – Oh, well, I’m going to read Kat a story and put her to bed, and then we can get down to business.}
“Sin†– Excellent.
{Amy also notices the weird sexual tone in Keira’s voice as well. She places her arm around Kat, and leads her towards the bedroom, placing Kat’s trick or treat bag on the counter along the way. “Lust walks past then, grinning wide as Amy looks more and more creeped out.}
“Lust†– I cannot wait to take her.
“Sin†– In time, when the little one is out of the way.
“Lust†– I think you’ve gone soft.
“Sin†– She’s committed no sin. Children are innocent.
“Lust†– Very well.
{Lust sits back on the couch and waits patiently, Sin stands behind her, rubbing her hands tonight as the night slowly progesses. Sin walks over to her bag, and opens it, finding more rope, smirking to herself, she examines it, ready to use it…}
{A short time later, Amy emerges from the bedroom, having put Kat to sleep. She holds up a finger to Sin and Lust before entering the other bedroom and changing. Now in more combat ready clothes, Amy walks out of the bedroom.}
Amy – Are you guys ready?
“Lust†– Willing and able…
{Lust winks at Amy, who shrugs it off.}
Amy – Alright, let’s go. Follow me outside.
{Sin and Lust quickly follow Amy, Sin with the rope in her hands. Amy turns to seem them walking towards her, almost… stalking her.}
Amy – Guys, this is serious, we’re going to go all in here. I know you’re the only ones who can help me.
“Lust†– We can always help you, no matter what, sweetheart.
Amy – Guys, stop messing around. This is getting weird.
“Sin†– It’s Halloween, strange is normal tonight.
{Amy notices the rope in Keira’s hand.}
Amy – We won’t need rope.
“Lust†– Oh, I think it’ll come in handy.
Amy – Seriously, the rope is going to be useless. It should be just us in the woods.
“Lust†– Alone in the woods… I like the way you think…
Amy – I meant we’re looking for others, I don’t know if we’ll find them.
“Lust†– An orgy? This is getting better every minute!
{Amy sighs heavily, frustrated that Roxi and Keira are not taking this seriously.}
Amy – Is that all you guys think about? This is serious business.
“Sin†– We’re here to take care of business.
“Lust†– Exactly.
Amy – …. Yeah, good. Yeah, I need to show you guys some… stuff I know. Tonight, I’m going to place a protective spell on you guys. Roxi, I’m going to need you to stand here.
{Lust takes the step to the position Amy wants her. Lust licks her lips as Amy positions her arms and legs.}
“Lust†– Like this?
Amy – Yeah, exactly. Actually, could you put your arms behind your back slightly, I want to make sure. You don’t accidently block this thing.
“Lust†– Kinky…
{Lust places her arms behind her back and waits…}
Amy – Okay, here goes nothing….
{Amy starts waving her hands around Roxi.}
Amy – Good, the air is clear. So… NOW!
{In an instant, “Sin†uses the rope and quickly ties Lust’s arms behind her back, and pushes her down. Producing leg shackles, Keira shackles Lust’s legs to keep her from moving.}
“Lust†– What the hell is this?!
Amy – Change of plans tonight, demon.
{Lust looks over at Keira, anger filling her eyes.}
“Lust†– You… you betrayed me! You weak fool!
Keira – No… I just outsmarted you.
“Lust’ – You tricked me?! You will PAY for this! We could have had it all!
Keira – No, there’s no Sin tonight. She was never out here. I had to do this, to get my wife back.
Amy – You did the right thing Keira.
“Lust†– She NEEDS me. You… You need me! I give you what she can never admit too… I know her secrets. I know her desires, I know everything.
Keira – And soon, you’ll be gone. Amy…. Do your stuff!
{Amy stands over Lust’s body and then straddles herself down on top.}
Keira – Wait… what are you doing?
Amy – I… I have to feed on her. It’s the only thing I can think of to do right now…
{Amy leans and begins to make out of Lust. The two kiss passionately for a long time, with a small smoke streak exiting Roxi’s mouth and into Amy’s…. Amy looks down at Lust, who is smirking and licking her lips.}
“Lust†– You taste wonderful… and now, I know you want more…
Amy – I…
Keira – Amy!
{Amy shakes her head, snapping out of it slightly.}
“Lust†– Seconds?
{Amy pulls back and looks up at Keira.}
Amy – It didn’t do anything. I got nothing out of her. I’ve only got one more idea.
{Amy takes off her gloves and places her hands on Roxi’s face… Suddenly there’s a glow, and a bright light engulfs the two. Keira reels back, and the light flashes brightly, and then it’s gone, and Amy let’s go of Roxi, who lies still.}
Keira – Amy… what… what happened?
Amy – Keira, what’s inside you guys…. I have no idea. I’ve never encountered anything like it.
Keira – What happened to Roxi?
Amy – I… I managed to put whatever it is inside her… to sleep.
Keira – Is she going to be okay?
Amy – I… basically reset her. She’ll be okay in a few minutes. I’m… I’m going to go check on Kat, make sure she’s still asleep.
{Amy gets up of Roxi and walks towards the house, Keira whips her around to face her.}
Amy – Keira? What’s wrong?
Keira – What was that?
Amy – I told you, she’ll be fine.
Keira – I meant kissing her!
Amy – Keira… it’s not like that.
Keira – It sure looked like it!
Amy – It’s… something I do. It wasn’t anything like what you’re thinking. I did not make out with your wife. I was trying to help. Normally feeding can help, but in this case, it didn’t. I’ll have to figure out something else.
{Amy slowly backs away and turns around as Roxi starts stirring.}
Amy – Make sure she’s okay.
{Keira drops the issue as she bends down as Roxi’s eyes flutter open.}
Keira – … Wake up.
Roxi – K… K… Keira?
Keira – Yes. I’m here.
Roxi – What… what happened? And why am I tied up?
Keira – I’m sorry. I had to… for your sake.
Roxi – Where the heck are we?
Keira – Amy’s. She… she’s trying to find a way to help us.
Roxi – Wait… how did we get here? Why don’t I remember this?
Keira – Because… I… I had to pull Lust out.
{Roxi’s eyes widen as she struggles in her bonds.}
Roxi – WHAT?! Keira she’s too dangerous!
Keira – I know. I figured if Amy is going to help, she had to see first-hand.
Roxi – *Sigh* I didn’t…. you know
Keira – No. Everything is okay. For now.
Roxi – Well, then can you please untie me?!
{Keira does so. She helps Roxi to her feet as Amy comes back outside.}
Amy – Are you okay?
Roxi – Yeah… I think so…
Amy – Good. Now, we can handle this business. I have to show you guys something, so… just bare with me. It may sound crazy, but you guys are about to get a crash course in magic tonight…
{Roxi and Keira look at each other. Fade.}
<Hr>
{The next morning, Roxi stirs from sleep as Keira is already up, and staring out the window. Roxi stands up and walks over to her.}
Roxi – Hey…
Keira – Don’t touch me.
Roxi – Keira? What’s wrong?
Keira – What’s wrong? You… you betrayed me!
Roxi – What? What are you talking about?
{Keira turns to face Roxi, her face filled with rage.}
Keira – You had sex with Amy! That’s how she got you back! I believed in you! I trusted you!
Roxi – Keira…. I….
Keira – I didn’t want to say anything last night, but it eats me up inside, I can’t stand to look at you. I’m done with you!
{Keira turns away, as Roxi ponders if what Keira said is true… She walks away, feeling sad inside. She slowly makes her way to Amy’s bedroom, where Amy is just getting up.}
Roxi – Amy…. Amy!
Amy – Hmmm?
Roxi – Please tell me Keira is… wrong.
Amy – Wrong about what? What’s going on?
Roxi – She said we…. You know… last night?
Amy – We…? Oh! No. We didn’t. I… did what I thought would help but…
{Roxi has a confused look on her face…}
Roxi – Then why would she…
{It hits her.}
Roxi – Wait… Oh no!
{Roxi rushes back out of the room as Keira, no longer Keira, storms out of the house. Kat, Amy’s daughter in her grasp.}
Roxi – Sin! No!
{Amy rushes out of the room.}
Amy – Kat!
Roxi – Amy, if you have any bright ideas, I’m all ears.
Amy – I… I… Yeah. Is her bag still here?
Roxi – Yes.
Amy – Get it… and yours.
{Roxi rushes and grabs the bags as Amy returns with a bag of powders and spellbooks.}
Roxi – What’s all this?
{Amy grabs a knife from the kitchen.}
Amy – I’m going to enchant this knife. If I’m right, stabbing you both with this… should work.
{Roxi’s eyes widen.}
Roxi – Stab Kiera?
Amy – Yeah. Just… trust me.
{Amy pours through the books, finds the spell and enchants the knife. Amy grabs it.}
Amy – Get ready.
{Amy plunges the knife if Roxi’s stomach… Amy quickly pulls the knife out, and the same smoke trail comes out, instead of the blood. In a few seconds, the smoke disapates.}
Amy – How do you feel?
Roxi – I… I feel… like a huge weight is off my shoulders… I think it worked!
{Amy touches Roxi’s wound, and it closes.}
Amy – There. Take this knife, and stab Keira… It’s the only way.
Roxi – … I… I will.
Amy – Go!
{Roxi runs out into the woods, as the knife, with Keira’s scent on it, is able to track her. Keira isn’t too much further ahead, at a clearing holding Kat in her arms.}
Roxi – Sin! It’s time!
“Sin†– What’s that? A knife? You mean to kill me? Ha! You kill me, you kill this one. She’s a much a part of me, as Lust is you! And if I die, so do you!
Roxi – Then let’s end this….
“Sin†– You would throw this all away?
Roxi – If I get rid of you…. Yes.
{Sin gentle puts Kat down, as she then charges Roxi!}
“Sin†– Die!
Roxi – Forgive me!
{Roxi sidesteps Sin, and plunges the knife into her spine. Roxi quickly pull the knife out, as the smoke trail comes out again…. In seconds, it’s all gone, as Amy pulls up in her car.}
Amy – Is she okay?
Roxi – … Yeah… I think so…
{Amy touches Keira and Keira is healed. Her eyes flutter as Roxi holds her in her arms.}
Keira – R… Roxi? What happened?
Roxi – It’s… it’s over. We won.
It’s a new day.
A new, fresh start for everybody. Myself and Keira included. No longer seemingly fighting to hold back our uglier selves. Thanks to Amy, Sin and Lust are gone, and they are NEVER coming back. And for that… I owe Amy big time. But now… it’s time to start making up for lost time. And lost ground.
I have to face the impressive Jade Manendez-Arcador this week at High Stakes IV. There’s so much going on around both she and I that this match, may seem like a little bit of a forgotten match already. Heck, at first, I even though that this wasn’t that important. It’s not for a championship. It’s not for contendership, those matches are taking place elsewhere. I didn’t want to take this match as punishment, or a demotion, because every match in SCW can lead to something bigger. I may not have thought it at first, but now, I can look at this match as a fresh start. It’s time to get back on the horse. That means Jade, I have to defeat you.
I know that you have an impressive record, and even in our one encounter with each other, you gave me all I could handle. But do not mistake being impressed, with being intimidated. There is no one, no one lady walking in that locker room in SCW, that I cannot defeat. And I have my sights set on one thing, and one thing only, getting back into contention for a championship. That starts with you. I don’t harbor any ill will towards you, or anyone else for that matter, but it seems that things are starting to get out of hand in the Bombshell’s division, and that may be my fault.
Maybe I inadvertently gave the Daughters of Darkness the go ahead to do what they did. That was not my intention, but it seems to be an unfortunate side effect of my speech. As such, it’s my job to return stability to the division, before this becomes a bigger problem than it should be. That’s why Jade, I’m taking this match as serious as I am. I have a responsibility to make things right. I have to make this problem go away. And beating you, shows the rest of them that I’m not slacking off, or losing a step. Beating someone as impressive as you makes my message all the more clear. I know I’m in for a fight. I know I’m going to end up with a few scars, and some bruises. I get that, comes with the territory. But that will not deter me from defeating you come High Stakes.
It’s just a big an opportunity for me as it is for you. I’m not about to let this one slip. I’m free from the biggest problem I’ve had physically and mentally. No more using my ailment as a crutch, or a handicap. I’ve gotten rid of it. It’s time to start over, and make things right.
You… Jade, are among those I consider to be the people who can help lead by example. This match, is will showcase your potential. And believe me when I say, it won’t go to waste when the match is over. When my hand is raised, I’ll still look at you at a woman of true potential and great skill. But the fact of the matter is Jade, I have to beat you, I have to get back in the game, and this is just the match I need. I’m sorry for it being you I have to beat, but… I cannot afford setback, when it’s a clean slate. No starting blemish.
I look forward to facing you, and look forward to our match.
One ghost down… one to go.
