[velocitygirl]

She locks her door.

Blaster on her hip.

No one can say she doesn't arm herself when she leaves her room!


...not that it ever helps.

She should take lessons from Wes.

Y'know, where he actually pulls the trigger?

[velocitygirl]

But Wes always misses!

Besides, maybe today Inyri will shoot. She did a few times before. It's how he hurt his knee.

How he got that hole in him.

Zekka has no idea of what you are talking about. >.>

He is too busy hiding in the shadows!

[velocitygirl]

She feels it this time.

She's gotten used to looking over her shoulders.

So Inyri is being very careful as she walks down the hall, hand gripping the blaster handle tightly.

[patches-x-x.livejournal.com]

Well that's no fun.

He slips out of the shadows, grinning darkly. "Boo."

[velocitygirl]

"Zekka." Inyri says flatly, crossing her arms. "And how are you today?"

[patches-x-x.livejournal.com]

He takes a moment to think.

"Violent."

[velocitygirl]

She takes a small step backwards. "Really." She gestures away from herself. "There's demon bunnies you could kill outside."

He won't go for it, Inyri knows. It's why he waited for her to leave. She's going to be the object of his violence, and she knows it.



It's why she steps back again.

[patches-x-x.livejournal.com]

"They don't scream loud enough," he muses.

"And I'm thinking of something more ... my size."

[velocitygirl]

She swallows hard, there's a lump in her throat. "I could go see if there's any volunteers downstairs?"

Her palms are sweaty, and she goes for her blaster again. "You can't do this. Not here."


Not anywhere.

[patches-x-x.livejournal.com]

"Do what, princess?"

He wants her to give him the ideas. What makes her squirm, makes her wake up screaming at night?

And how can he make it real?

[velocitygirl]

She looks panicked.

She is panicked.

The stairs are just down the hall, and with a hand on her blaster still, she bolts for them.


A little voice tells her she won't make it. Don't listen to it.

But the little voice gets louder with every step she takes.

[patches-x-x.livejournal.com]

The little voice is right, because it comes from experience. She always runs, and she never makes it, because he is her nightmare. And the only way to escape a monster is by waking.

So what happens when you're already awake?


He's faster than she is, something that comes from whatever species is mixed in. Only reason he escaped with his life that time when Wes shot him.

His arm locks around her neck and his hand goes to her mouth.

"Will you ever learn, Forge?"

[velocitygirl]

Her hands forget the blaster, it clatters on the floor as she fights to get him off.

He's choking her and she can't breathe and oh gods, oh gods, she can't even scream with his hand on her mouth, she won't get away this time.

She kicks. It's all she has left.

[patches-x-x.livejournal.com]

She is so stupid. It's annoying and it's maddening and it makes him want to kill her.

He doesn't even flinch at the kick, except to tighten his grip on the bitch and hiss in her ear, "You're going to die here, Inyri. And no one will help you because nobody cares. They don't believe you or they don't love you enough, but whatever the reason they don't think you need to be guarded or helped because you're just a stupid little girl who should have stayed on Kessel. And it's kriffing hilarious, d'you know that?"

[velocitygirl]

She grits her teeth and claws at his arm, desperate to not let the tears spill from her eyes.

But she shuts them against the words he says and she's sobbing, gasping for breath as hot tears fall from her eyes. She tries jerking away, anything, she squirms and moves against him, trying to just get away.

[patches-x-x.livejournal.com]

"Watch it, baby doll. A fellow might get the wrong idea with all that squirming."

His grip around her throat loosens as he twists her around to face him, looking into her eyes.

Then he backhands her.

[velocitygirl]

She should have expected it, but she couldn't breathe, so she took the hit full on, head snapping to the side. She crumples slightly, gasping for breath, not caring for now that her lip is bleeding, and her face is going to bruise.

[patches-x-x.livejournal.com]

The forgotten blaster catches his eye, and he bends to pick it up.

"You know how many blaster holes a person can have in them before they die?" he asks curiously.

[velocitygirl]

She takes a deep breath, chest heaving as she straightens. "If you're going to kill me," she says breathlessly, "would you just do it?"

[patches-x-x.livejournal.com]

He shrugs. "Maybe."

[velocitygirl]

She watches him, a hand at her cheek, where she can feel swelling. She licks her lower lip and tastes blood and she shivers.

"Or you could let me go." She tries.

[patches-x-x.livejournal.com]

...

"Leave the mindtricks to the Jedi, princess. You make yourself sound like an idiot."

[velocitygirl]

"So do it." She whispers. She hurts so bad.

Either let her go or hurt her again.

[patches-x-x.livejournal.com]

He'll go for the second one.

This time, he doesn't backhand her.

He does punch her though, in the same cheek as before.

[velocitygirl]

She falls this time, hitting the ground and she feels like screaming it hurt so bad.

But she just curls in a ball, hand at her cheek, knowing it'll be bruised this time.

She shakes.

[patches-x-x.livejournal.com]

And he turns on his heel and leaves.



Stupid bitch.

[velocitygirl]

Inyri doesn't move.


It hurts to move.
