A/N: When I first seen this movie, I fell in love with Cybil the moment she took her helmet off, lol. And from then on, I was convinced she was gay and in love with Rose the whole movie. Too bad they didn't make that part of the storyline. Well, in this storyline, that's gonna change. Femslash, rated M for mature content. This is only part one, I'm thinking about making this at the very least two parts. Read and review!
She told me I didn't have to go with her, but… I couldn't let her go alone.
~"If you don't wanna do this… I'll understand."~
I couldn't let her face the darkness by herself, even though I was scared shitless. But really though, how safe would I have been if I didn't go with Rose?
~"Sharon's adopted. But I'm her mother. I knew that from the moment I first laid eyes on her."~
I was skeptical. They opened the creaky doors of the elevator and it had death written on all four walls of it. But there was no talking Rose out of it- she was determined to find her daughter, and she didn't care if she died trying. It's one of the things I admire about her.
~"She's lucky to have you. Mother is God in the eyes of a child."~
"Witch! Her child is the likeness of Alessa!" As soon as Christabella threatened Rose, I sprung into action, shoving her passed the cracked doors of the elevator. The opening was just big enough for her to squeeze through. I fought off the crazies before pulling my gun, which was bullet-less, but Christabella didn't know that.
"Come on!" I heard Rose say to me, and that alone told me she didn't want to do this by herself. I was still scared - terrified by what would be beyond those rusty elevator doors, and what would be waiting for us in Room B151. I didn't expect for Rose to make it out alive, especially on her own, but maybe - I thought - she would have a chance if I went with her.
Waving my gun, pointing it at Christabella and her minions so I could acquire some time to think, I glanced back inside the elevator into Rose's fearful eyes, pleading wordlessly for me to accompany her. To be her shield, and her everything else.
"Cybil," she whispered, and the expression on her face was enough for me to oppress my fears. I was just fixated on her as I stepped into the elevator with my free hand on the bar holding the doors ajar. I kept my gun on Christabella, and with a grunt I dislodged the bar from the elevator doors and they closed hastily with a shrill creak. There was no turning back after that.
Turning my back on the doors, I released the metal bar from my grasp and peered into Rose's face. She was definitely the light in the darkness of this hellhole of a town. I walked across the elevator to where she was standing alongside the wall, and I wasn't really sure of what to say to her. I had unquestionably felt something for this woman, somehow, during the time that we have been together, feelings formed. Feelings I know I shouldn't have because she's married and probably never been with a woman before anyway. Still, at this point, it was possible she might never see her husband again. It was undoubtedly a horrible thing to think. For me to be so pessimistic. But we were about to face the demon in the core of the darkness, and if the demon was as bad as I thought it was - we were doomed.
I kept silent, hesitant on what I was supposed to do next. I just looked profoundly into her beautiful eyes and she slowly leaned forward - or maybe I was seeing what I wanted to see. But when she got close enough that I could feel her breath wash over my lips, I knew I wasn't imagining things. That's when the murky lighting inside the elevator began to flicker. Her lips came to a halt only a half an inch away from mine, and she gasped when the elevator started to shake.
I almost lost my footing when the shaking became more aggressive and suddenly it felt as though the floor dropped from beneath my feet as the elevator plummeted downward. Rose fell into me, her hand clutched my shirt and the side of her head pressed against my chest. I held on tightly to the railing and wrapped one of my arms around her, keeping her close to me.
My heart was hammering in my chest, I was so afraid, but I knew I wouldn't let her do this unaided.
