Arteo and Chance
Once upon a time there lived a creature like no other, and this very soul was on the hunt, even as the rest of the city busied itself with usual errands. Chance Arden felt the pulse, the shivering vibrations that danced about the nightlife, and with each shifting step, the Fae breathed in whatever life present in a silent inhale; tasting the emotional currents like a strong and bitter sip of black coffee. Something changed, by what, she wasn't sure - though her thoughts were far from the last several hours of her life, distanced and subdued so new images could play a feverish consciousness. Close, so close, there beat the strained heart of one of her own. But, that wasn't quite it. A lesser, not quite as realized as the blond divinity, this other beast could only be assumed something inadequate of her company. Only the voice spoke then and with its encouraging quips, Chance was steered towards the park.
So her striking steps echoed through heavily trafficked streets, accompanied by a form clothed only in a simple white dress. The lack of shoes didn't really register with the Fae when she moved through the masses, nor did their concerned faces at the various maroon stains decorating her garb, because once set in her plans, nothing would interfere. So without incidence the female glided along sidewalks and streets until she had divided from the crowds and came to a slowed pace just near the front of the park. The archway above the entrance gave her some pause so she could read the dedicated message, but only briefly did the female find herself stopped. Once finished, her tracking commenced and with strange azure hues like spot lights, she laid her sights on the source of her curiosity.
"Oh, a broken butterfly."
Snickering, Chance stepped closer to hover over the twitching body of the stranger, who stared vacantly out into the dark wood line that surrounded their lone meeting place. Really, it was fortunate no one had done something terrible to the woman on the ground, though it looked to the greater Fae something had left her prone in an almost broken state. Pity such things happened in this day and age, but this was a lesson to the sheep; be weary of wolves. Funny really that the biggest and baddest of the hounds would stumble across the faint throb of energy, and wicked intent played the elegant features of the golden crowned Caetos as she knelt to rest beside the heaving body of Arteo. "Now who would be so cruel to you, to leave you like trash on the street, without a way to care for yourself?" A hand reached to push away tawny strands from the clammy visage, exposing those golden orbs that remained unblinking.
"Does it hurt, Pet?" But the fallen didn't speak in response to Chance's soft tones, instead continuing to silent mouth words at no one in particular. Now the blond didn't know what to do about the other female, because despite having no real need for the baggage, she was inclined to at least do away with her. So her hand jerked back and formed a fist, balled and without remorse, prepared to make a smashing introduction with the portrait of Arteo of the wood. Only, Loe was talking again, and the entity had a good point in its protests; this little keepsake could come in useful if Chance dedicated the time to cracking its will. "That's so farfetched..." Came a mumbled comment, but she obliged the other inhabitant of her otherworldly frame and rose to her feet once more. The body on the ground stirred and flopped onto it's back, breathing hardly more than gulps for air, though inaudible in nature. Only the incessant quaking of a tight chest gave the conscious creature above a hint at the struggle her prey was going through.
"Fine, fine. I take her then. No idea what I'll do with her, but I'll take her with me." And with that, Chance Arden swooped low to grab the shaking arms of the other female and with a jerk, she lifted the dead weight with ease. Now carrying her prisoner, or hostage, or whatever she was, the Fae turned back to exit the park and once more be on her merry way. Of what deeds she planned, there was no hint outside the Cheshire grin dotting her lips, but rare was there a time her luminous blue irises allowed others to read whatever malicious plans were being formed in that angelic cranium of hers. "And with every moonlit stroll, another set of concerns pop up. Really, can't I just wander around without something strange happening?"
---
Step in to my parlor, said the spider to the fly.Chance Arden had carried the dead weight for what seemed like hours, going about her usual business without so much as a peep from the passenger who seemed rather loopy in the clutches of her captor. The greater Fae didn't mind the silence, counting it a blessing based on what she would eventually find herself doing to the poor girl; whatever came to pass wouldn't be anything close to those story book fairy tales. If one thing was certain, the golden crowned Vereaux descendant wasn't typical in her methods of manipulation, and subtlety was a dying art when it came to receiving answers. So the two would trek through the more civilized neck of the city with only passing glances from the populace, but after a certain district came into view, even those stopped entirely. Chance really enjoyed venturing into the seedier sides of town because those who dwell in the dark alcoves and back alleys knew how to keep their business to themselves - and they never interfered.
A stretch of abandoned business front sprung into view from behind taller tenements and quick did her pace go from a slow gait to a run, almost entirely unseen by whatever straggling vagrants were present and accounted for. The dilapidated warehouses loomed over the street the woman took to and with cargo in tow, the Fae slipped Arteo through one busted set of window panes, to which she'd crawl through after her charge; shameless in that white dress of hers. It ripped on the glass and Chance noted a series of gashes decorating her thighs where she had crammed through the small hole, but those weren't at all important in the wake of this strange gathering. Just herself and the still dazed Nymph, which was enough for a grand party, so long as the blond played host.
Empty - that was the warehouse she had chosen, distanced from the street walkers and druggies who clung to the old rules of the city; where fair was fair, so long as you weren't caught. No, she needed privacy and what was assured was how remote the location proved to be, which gave a satisfied grin reason to spread over the feminine features of the monster. Alone at last, with nothing in mind but good old fashioned fun and games; could she ask for anything more? Arteo was literally dragged at this point, one arm in a clenched fist of the taller female as she strode forward over dusty, damp floors, and like a rag doll, the Nymph just bopped along through the grime until they came to the far wall across from the entrance they had used. Only then was there release for the tawny haired figure, left unattended in a crumpled heap while Chance began casting sheaths of shadow at all the exposed portions of the establishment. There would be no peeping, and no light for her victim to see by, which would prove better for the gentle psyche of the girl.
"Now, let me say this now as a disclaimer to all acts performed during the show: You asked for it. Can't go taking a nap in the middle of the park without attracting attention, that's for sure. It's only fair you understand how disappointed I am in you, as a fellow Fae, that you would drop like a brick in the public's eye. How shameful, Butterfly... Mind if I call you that? Well, never you mind. You just need to be a bit more coherent for me, and we can start." A slither of obsidian moved through the clashing shroud of night that fell over them, a snake in imaginary grass, with a snapping maw that hissed and spit freely. The Obtenebration came to settle like a weight on top of the panting body on the floor, and with a gentle shove, it wormed its way into her open maw - slipping along the windpipe to settle lower, like a knot in the Nymphs stomach. This must have been enough to frighten the girl awake, which was reassuring for Chance at least, and Arteo gagged violently against the lodged entity inhabiting her throat. It would dissipate and return back to the other female, who couldn't shake that malicious grin that painted her otherwise angelic portrait.
"Oh, you're awake. Wonderful. You and I have much to speak of, and I need to do a bit of investigating, if you don't mind..."
Now, Arteo had been wracked by the Malkavians derangement for some time now, and her recollection of whatever else happened was lacking; now she felt cold, and her sides were scraped and raw from where her body had been dragged, and there was mud in her hair in moist clumps. Sniffling, the Nymph opened her glowing hues and tried to make out the details of her settings, though the thick darkness didn't let up around her, save the faint illumination her eyes provided - and a strange set of blue oculars in the distance. There was ten feet or so between the two women, and Arteo could only guess she had been taken by someone, but her mind wasn't entirely present in the deduction process; not after her last ordeal. Instead she could only roll a weak tongue against her upper lip, wetting the parched muscles before managed to croak out something of a question. "Wh-what.."
"Oh, this? This place? This random stranger? I guess that's me. But this new world you've found yourself in? It's fun. Really, we're going to have a great time. Like I said, this is all in the name of science!" A cackle erupted from the darkness, spitting his heinous intent in the laughter, like the sound had been laced with rusty razor blades. Just a terrible noise, far from the usual lyrical tones Chance possessed, this was a monstrous collection of words that couldn't have possibly been from the Caetos herself. Instead it came from the other inhabitant of the slender frame, the shadow that resided in her subconscious like a moody tenant. "Just trust me, Precious, and you'll see..."
And then the silence struck, taking whatever reply Arteo would have made and casting it aside in an all consuming wave of obsidian. Hundreds upon hundreds of slithering bodies erupted over the downed Nymph and her screams came as the smallest, most feeble coughs; unable even to express the terror that wracked her fragile body when her clothing was stripped away by the legions of tentacles, and the exposed skin was prodded at like the serpentine appendages were testing fresh meat. Chance simply watched, her azure hues haunting in their unblinking nature, situation on the messy task at hand - dismantling the other creature to figure out just how resilient she proved to be. So it began with funneling onyx beings, their weight forcing them against the skin of the Nymph until they were quite literally tunneling their weight through the gentle natured Fae. More coughs, sputters even as blood came up from the blocked passages in her torso. Pain. Just pain met her senses.
"Still breathing?" But this wasn't a pausing point as the tendrils found holes to violate and occupy, forcing their way through the canals and restricted spaces in the shell of Arteo, nestling within her punctures abdomen like a festering infection that refused to let up. The brown haired female was choking on her own fluids, blood and bile hiccuping up through the pleading, constricting windpipe, unable to stop the flood of her life force coming up yet not giving her much in way of room to work around the endless juices. Her eyes shifted and lids shuddered, flickering like the beams of dying fireflies in the perpetual night that covered the warehouse floor. Still, there would be more as the tentacles dug deep to dislocate and un-socket her joints, to which the unnatural Obetenbration would briskly pull from. Off came the arms in sharp pops, sluggishly dragged from their own inhabitant, leaving in their wake massive holes in a tortured girl. Crimson appeared black in the lack of light, so how badly the building reeked of death was the only inclination of how terrible the scene really was; but that's how Chance liked it.
Messy.
Soon the legs became detached as well, leaving only a squirming stump in vivid display, nude and writhing in terrible torment among filth and spilled vitae. A delicious victory really, because as Chance closed the gap that separated the two, she could see Arteo still fighting to survive like a fish out of water; no air, no blood... but still going. A fucking battery, faint green light came to cast itself along the injuries and in marvelous synchronization, her limbs began to drag back to their usual positioning, to which the supernatural body began processing the mending needed. "Oh my, you certainly are very, VERY durable." Skin stitched while ligaments and bones realigned to collect and re-sync, muscles wrapping neatly into place among the other gathered components, all while silent tears flooded shutter fly orbs. "And still you cry. Think of this as something good to know. You're a fucking beast, you are... LOOK!" Chance pointed one slender set of digits at the holes in the abdomen of the Nymph, her face showing signs of shock she didn't know she was able to make. The wounds were gradually stopping themselves up and the blood that had been gargling in throat was swallowed back to be streamed once more through throbbing veins.
"How would I even kill you? I mean, besides... You know." Shaking golden tresses out, the darkness slipped backwards to the standing woman and was once more absorbed into her person, as though the entire attack had been little more than a dream. "But this is good. Good for me, good for you maybe. Well, mostly good for me. You're in rather poor luck if you thought you were going to be able to leave." Leaning down to jerk the Nymph to standing, she ended up just holding the creature in a dangling fashion, which worked well enough for the Vereaux female. "So you'll be my battery and I'll use you as I see fit. Right?"
"N-no I..."
But it was too late as Chance forced the other female to lock lips with her, and in this Chance could taste the bitter blood collected in that shallow mouth, which she licked at with a slick tongue, gathering collected pools from beyond the entrance of the other woman's mouth. A short lived treat, it ended soon after and with it, the blond cast Arteo back to the ground where she belonged. "And done. See? So easy."
