ReD Door (ReD)

[Lessien Melwasul]

~You might think after Fight Night that the form of Lessien would be a happy place. She had finally slowed ReD down enough to take her apart piece by youtful piece until there was nothing left in between. But the form of Lessien was battered, bruised and aged. Every minute became a month in her bones. Every long night a lifetime.~

"Die young."

~Alice had always advised. But Betty snorted at the mention, she knew it was too late for that.~

"We can only show them the way."

~The form of Lessien sat in the hall with her back against the wall. In front fo her was ReD's door. The numbers and name dull in the hallway light. The eyes of Lessien scanned the hall from time to time while Alice flipped cards from a deck to the carpeted floor. The one nice thing about Sin City, there was always a deck of cards to be had. Everything was red and black in SCW. The way it was suppose to be. Black and white bored her to tears. The color grey reminded her of that fucked up crater that had driven Lilith over her

last

fucking

edge. She hoped the flames were kinder than her memories had been.~

"That was then."

~She looked back at ReD's door. The immediate now because no matter how you counted it. The magic number three was no where to be found. So the form of Lessien waited the minutes and hours until Little Red Riding Hood came home.~

[ReD]

She turns the corner, and sees Lessien there. She wonders why the person who just beat her is standing in front of her door. She moves closer, though she is moving a bit slower the after effects of being KO'ed.

"You of all people, standing infront of my door... The only question I can come up with is... Why? Haven't you just did what you wanted all along... To beat me in the ring. What else is there, and why of all things do you bring it to my very door?

[Lessien Melwasul]

"So many questions?"

~Betty observed, slightly annoyed.~

"So much time."

~Alice slipped the deck of cards into her jacket pocket.~

"Really, do we have to go to the ring again? Do we have to watch the fireworks explode? Do we have to watch thousands of humanity scream your fucking name while begging you to do me in?"

~Wash, rinse, and repeat a thousand times. It was always the same in the end.~

"The end is looking for you."

~The form of Lessien stepped forward, the Cheshire grin beginning to unfold.~

"We have unfinished business, Lover."

~Lessien leaned against ReD's door and folded her arms. That smile still on the corner of her lips as she looked at the door.~

"Aren't you going to invite me in? Hmm?"

[ReD]

ReD thinks to herself before, deciding what harm could happen. Inside her room she could see what this girls all about.

"alright let's go in.."

[Lessien Melwasul]

~Not the first girl to invite Lessien in by any means. But it never did cease to amaze her. Was it curiosity? Stupidity? Curidity? She didn't have the answer. The only thing she knew was that every last company she had set foot in, there was an open door waiting to take her inside. She walked inside ReD's standard issue room. Rooms like this were a generic, sanitized blur. No one actually 'lived' anymore.~

"A long time ago."

~The form of Lessien turned to face ReD again.~

"A long time ago I used to leave young girls like you unconscious on nameless streets for the night to do with them whatever it desired. Horrible things I'm sure."

"Memories."

~Betty agreed completely.~

"Isn't that what I promised you so long ago? That you would never forget me? I think that was it."

~From behind the dark sunglasses, Alice's eyes wandered over the ReD beast. She despised the youth and power, but at the same time enjoyed the breaking for the very same reason. It was ... complicated.~

"Round and round and round we go."
"I really thought you were going to put me away and forever stain the 'pages' of my diary."

~A small disappointed frown turned her lips as she scanned the room for anything hinting at the girl in front of her. But her voice was laced with slight annoyance.~

"But then you got cute, Lover and that pissed me off to no end."

~Betty paused, and looked back at ReD.~

"Aren't you going to offer me a drink?"

[ReD]

"No, sorry but, I'm not much of a drinker... I also really have no need to be nice to you.. You seem to think you know me... That I am some simple girl, but that's not true. I am not as dim as you think... If you wish to do me harm... Let's have at it... But it seems your a little to interested in me, to put me down.... Which let's me to the question? What am I to you? A mean to an end? Or is there something more primal...

[Lessien Melwasul]

~Betty laughed softly while Alice's eyes flashed at the small spark from ReD.~

"You are my everything."

~Betty laughed again, incredulous.~

"Why haven't you figured it out, Lover? You're not stupid. You're my simple prop that occupies my endless hours on this wicked, wicked world."

~Alice spoke soft and of more immediate desires.~

"Dance with me."

~Betty smirked, slightly agitated by the mere suggestion.~

"Oh yes, Lover why don't you show me what a farm girl from Illinois knows about the

long

hard

life, hmm? Oh, show me that primal, fucking beast!"

[ReD]

"I should have seen it earlier, I am something you desire... Something that you've never had.... But sorry girl I don't dance that easily.... If this is the only thing you want from me... Your going to be in for a long wait."

She walks to her bed stand, and takes a small box. She walks to where Lessien is... She pulls a small pipe from the box, and a lighter. She draws from it tilt a big cloud of smoke comes out. The cloud moves to Lessien's face.

"Now, that that's out of the way... Care to join me in a smoke... And maybe you'll find your way home.

[Lessien Melwasul]

~The smoke hardly phased the form of Lessien. A prolific chain smoker if there ever was one. Something about the toxic combination of chemicals appealed to her biological state. But whatever was in that pipe? Lessien had little interest at all. Mind altering for the mind altered did not have any effect. She made her way to the door but with a last thought on her lips.~

"That's where you're wrong, Lover. I will have you exactly the way I want you.

All

night

long in a tables match."

~Escalation of violence had its own particular charms as Betty opened the door, looking back one more time.~

"Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Lover. See you at Anthrax 5."
