A story between The collector and Fiona, after the events of the what if episode. The link attached to the words is Fiona singing. I hope you enjoy it.
Sitting there a distance away from the commotion the large gathering of freed people and creatures started to dissipate. There was nothing she could do there was far to many. Carina comes walking up to her with a cheery smile the control bracelet still on her arm even if it was incredibly lose fitting on her. " What are you so down about Fiona we are free now!! Look he's in the cage and not going anywhere.." she gently taps on the side of the controls.
Fiona does tilt her head, the crowd now away from him she can see him, beat up and bruised from everyone's revenge. She glances back up at Carina. "Do you think it's fair though? I mean do two wrongs make a right?" She bites on her bottom lip and taps her nails on the edge of the table.
"What?" Carina asks as if Fiona was joking. "No ... maybe your not getting it... we are free!!!" She says louder bringing a cheer from the crowd around them. "So free that now you can sing and dance all over the place.. do it now.. in celebration!!" Carina grabs Fiona shoulders shaking her a bit.
"I... I don't know..its not..." Fiona is cut off by Carina. "No he's told you to shut up and keep it down far to long..." she walks over to the desk and starts up one of Fionas tracks.. the people around cheer as her singing did often cheer them up bringing some sort of happiness to the gloom of being in the cage. She stands up shaking her head at first before looking at Tivan in the distance. He didn't look mad.. he looked sad and the sadness on his face made her not feel right. She broke eye contact with Tivan as she started singing. Standing up on the table she was just sitting at.
" I left my body... down on her knees...over the bedside... watching you breathe." She moves and her body sways as the beat starts to pick up others around starting to dance.
"And I saw the fire I felt the flames
I heard the banshees Calling your name. Cause I have these new fears I carry with me, So you can feel stronger, you can know peace."
Dancing around she looks back at Tivan just as he looks at her. She keeps singing and falls to her knees. Wondering if he is listening to her song just this once. "So just hold on tight I'll be coming, I'm coming for you, oh oh And every night,
I'll be burning, burning for you, oh oh
And I will back you up, I will show you love ,I will give you all I got 'til I cannot...."
Carina looks at her with a big smile feeling free and happy for once. She doesn't seem to notice much on where Fiona is looking as she starts to dance around herself.
Tivan does look at Fiona watching her dancing around and singing at first he wasn't paying attention thinking that the one he thought wouldn't betray him had until her lyrics caught him. He hadn't heard this one before and she was looking at him. He didn't want to jump to conclusions but he could have sworn this was intentional.
She hops off the table and grabs Tivan's large fur coat and puts it on so much of it dragging behind her..... "I'll take two times the misery And half the glory
If it meant you'd be the champion
Of the story And I'll take two times the agony And half the wonder
If it meant you'd get twice
Twice the thunder" her song continued on...Carina grabbing Fiona's hands as the two girls start to dance together.
Several hours go by, the party is over the place is a full mess of empty cages, plates and cups. Her and Carina carry on now just chatting the two of them everyone else mostly long gone going home if they have one to go home too. "You know...he's got that big gigantic king bed in his room that I think should be ours now..." Carina goes on, with the controls on her arm she has quickly started behaving like she now owned it. "And I'm tired, let's go to bed?" She looked at Fiona and waved her to come along.
"No I need sometime, just a lot of the cages got opened and I need to make sure there is going to be no animal tryin to kill us in our sleep you know." Fiona stood there and crossed her arms. " you Carina you don't know how that thing works, I saw several things escape that could be deadly.. you go ahead lock the door , check the sheets and put a towel under the door to close off the gap.. " she sighed heavily.
Carina looked at her almost shocked. "Oh I didn't..realize..." she shakes her head and looks around. "No of course you didn't, if you would have payed attention to anything he said about any of his collection maybe you would have so quickly pushed buttons.. just go...I'll wrangle whats left up if it's dangerous it will go back in a cage." She turns to walk away starting her long night of creature hunting. She knew someone was going to have to, it was also and excuse to check on Tivan which she waited several minutes before hearing the door to Tivans room close and lock.
She let's out a deep breath she didn't know she was holding and quickly runs to his cage. Tivan looks up at her as he sits on the floor. "Come to finally gloat about being free? I figured you would at some point."
Fiona kneels.. "No..." she looks around making sure they are alone. "I am gonna try to get you out, Carina is wearing the only fucking key to this cage, I'm gonna have to try to get it off her.." she leans against his cage and puts her hand on it.
Tivan is confused, he won't turn away her help but is confused as to why. "So, you are coming for me then?" He quotes her song and gives a little smile, he hurts his eye is near swollen shut and he is covered in dark purple bruises. She looks more at him now that she is closer she frowns and her hand moves on the glass. "Now now.."He says to her, "I do not like it when your said you know, not then and not now..." he puts his hand up where hers is. "Well I would tell you to hurry but I have this nagging feeling I'm not going anywhere....."
This time she laughs, it's a bit unexpected but laughs at his joke. "I guess your right, strong boy stuck behind the glass...shirtless and on display." She smiles something about him not being able to touch her making her a bit braver. " I can see the value in this piece.." she says out loud before standing up quickly. "I..need to go fix things...I'll be back.."She turns and takes off. What was she thinking, she knew she had been starting to like him for such a long time but to actually be brave enough to flirt what was wrong with her. Tivan looked shocked and surprised at her words and wanted to speak but she had hurried away so quickly leaving him to slump back against the cage alone, leaving him to his thoughts, wondering what exactly she was thinking muttering to himself. "Strong boy? I'm like millions of years old...."
Running around she started to assess the cages and their tags noting ones needing to be sought out. A few of the creatures stayed closed and she was easily able to scoop them up and put them away. Her plan was to just lie to Carina make her think they were all dangerous, not like she would really look into it. She comes across another cage where there were just three eggs left. The animals long gone by the bits of blood she assumed another creature got to the parents. "Well damn..." she knew the eggs would die without her intervention, picking up one of them she holds in her hands. The egg starting to get warmer and warmer until it starts to hatch, she does it with each one until all three are hatched and she closes the cage. "I'll bring you some food in a bit babies..." she sighs.
The next few things were more dangerous, she was scratched up pretty bad by a few of them but got them into their cages eventually. The hardest being the slugs she hated them. They also horrified her, Tivan knowing how clumsy she was never let her near their cage in fear of the worst. She had gotten all but one back in the cage, struggling to make sure they didn't touch her skin and keeping tape over her mouth. Hearing Carina scream she feared the worst and she took off towards the room at a fast run. Grabbing a blade from the still open display case and now running up the stairs to the room.. she saw a man pounding at the door, deformed flshes blobs on him she knew instantly one of the slugs got into him. It hadn't yet noticed her as it banged and banged on the door trying to get to Carina.
Fiona sneaks around behind it the blade in her hand ready for an attack. "Cut off the head...kill the slug.." she told herself in her mind over and over... one quick swing of the blade and the head is detached flying across the hall she watches it and runs to it. The slug starts to slither its way out of the neck hole making its way quickly to her. Fiona goes to dodge it but it grabs onto her foot. She panicks and falls backwards kicking her foot hard it let's go and hits a wall. Sticking to the wall and regaining direction it moves again but this time Fiona is quicker the blade cuts it in half. It oozes and starts to shrivel and die.
She drops the blade and rips the tape off her mouth. Trying to get control of her breathing she could feel herself almost go into a panic. And feeling angry at Carina she slowly looks up at the door as the girl peeks her head out. "Fi...Fiona what was that..." her voice sounds hoars from screaming. "You don't even know what that thing would have done to us if it got ahold of either one of us you stupid girl..." she growls through her teeth and slowly stands straight up.
"Is.. is it dead? Why are you looking at me like that.. Fiona we are friends..why are you so angry ..." Carina looks at her confused and she is now outside the door.
"Yes its fucking dead...I took care of it... in fact I've spent the whole fucking night taking care of all of it so you can sleep soundly in his big comfy bed." She snaps and drops the blade to the floor, her cheery and bubbly demeanor has long left as she walks towards Carina. She knows the girl can't find and now everyone who could have helped her is long gone.
" We.... are not friends, you always act nothing but annoyed with me, almost from day one...now that your in charge.. we are?" She tilts her head and smiles and starts to make her way closer to the girl. Fiona lunges at Carina tackling her to the ground and pinning her. Carina let's out a yell trying to push Fiona off and almost manages to get out from under her. The two struggle back and forth the control band goes flying. Fiona has Carina now in a choke hold ontop of her as she strangles her. Not wanting to kill Carina she let's go as soon as she feels the girl pass out. Pushing her body off her she stands up and grabs the controls. Leaving the girl unconscious in the hall way.
Fiona slowly makes her way down the stairs until she is standing in front of Tivans cage looking at him for a few minutes she walks up and leans against his cage again. "Look what I found." She holds up the band. Tivan smiles at her."Well that was quicker then I expected."
She looks at him surprised. "Oh I should have taken longer your right... now that I think about I should go on a shopping spree... its on you right?" She grins and pushes the button only unlocking his cage.
Tivan comes out and stands in front of her looking down at her, he takes the controls and puts it back on pushing a few buttons and getting things back in order.
She stands there with a smile Watching him "There now everything is exactly how it should be."
"Almost..." he takes her hand and kisses it. Remembering her and Carinas earlier conversation."You look tired...would you like to sleep in the big bed tonight?" He gives her a sly grin before picking her up and throwing her over his shoulder and heading up the stairs.
