A/N: Firstly: WARNING: contains rape! Not graphic but it's there so I'm WARNING you!

Secondly: I know what you're all thinking 'God not another one this story has been told so many times it's worn out!' well stop thinking that because there are lots of possibilities for our darling little groupie! Sorry to shout I'm in the middle of a sugar rush for no reason in the middle of the night *hides pop cans and an ice cream pint in garbage can*. At any rate this is one of my takes on how our little lovely became a groupie to Frank (I have a few and though this one is not my favorite it will do) so please read, enjoy and tell me what you think! If you wish to help I could use ideas for side characters to help this story along it's possibly short journey (Thank you DarkAnsalong for this idea of asking the fans/readers to be included I hope you don't mind i borrowed it!) so if you have an idea please PM me or comment basic info of Name, Age, Gender, basic features (hair color, eye color, and height) and you might just see them come to life (you will be credited for them don't fear about that!)!

Any how enough rambling let's get going shall we? ACTION!

*~Chapter 1~*

Columbia sat on her tiny daybed, or her crib as Magenta called it, hugging a battered and patched up stuffed bear wearing a tap costume (not unlike her own) to her chest while her hands held a creased and slightly faded photo against her knees. The picture was of a tall man with dark hair, blue eyes and a kind smile dressed in a button down blue and grey plaid shirt and black shorts. A woman with muddy brown hair that reached her shoulders, soft loving and brown eyes, and a sweet smile on pale pink lips wearing a light pink blouse and a white floral pattern skirt. Then finally a little girl dressed in a baby blue shirt with a teddy bear in a top hat on the chest, well worn and patched overall shorts, well broken in purple converses with neon pink laces, she was smiling toothily showing off a gap from a missing tooth on the top row, her brown eyes were filled with joy as she waved at the camera, her brown hair was cut short in a messy pixie cut and atop it sat a Mickey Mouse ear hat.

In the background there was a blue sky with a few clouds and kites, lower there was the blue-green waves and golden shore. Off to the side there was the end of a deck that was painted white, the time stamp by Columbia's thumb read July 7, 1957. Columbia let out a soft sigh looking over the girl in the picture, she was 5 years old and her family was visiting her cousin and aunt in Australia for the week. Suddenly the picture was gone making Collie jump and look up to see who had snatched it away ready to yell for them to give it back, but the words became lodged in her throat seeing Magenta standing before her one hand on her hip as the other held the picture to look it over.

Magenta looked over the picture and raised an eyebrow, the pair had been sharing a room for nearly 3 years now yet she'd never seen this picture before. She looked at Collie and seen her brown eyes were turned down to the bear in her lap as she toyed with its sparkly bow tie.

"They look happy."

Collie's fingers paused for a moment but she didn't raise her eyes as she nodded.

"We were, that was before Carol was born when we were visiting Laura and her mother Rachel in Australia."

Magenta just inclined her chin and handed the picture back not bothering to as what Australia was. Collie took the picture and looked it over again.

"You know how you tell me your home is surrounded by shores? Well this place was kinda like that, Laura lived right on the beach and at night we'd climb out her window and go lay in the sand and watch the stars. It was magical, she's 3 years older than me so she knew more about the stars and always pointed out constitutions."

Magenta stayed quiet as she sat on the small sofa in the middle of the room working a brush through her hair imagining a shore like the ones on her beloved Transexual but only on earth, it didn't seem possible. She growled lowly as the brush caught on a knot in her hair and she tried pulling roughly at it but stopped as the brush made a sound in protest. Collie looked up at her and smiled softly holding out her hand as she set the bear beside her on the bed.

"Come here before you break another brush, the chick at the drugstore must think I'm breaking brushes just to buy more."

Magenta rolled her eyes but went back to where Collie was and sat on the floor in front of her handing over the brush before grabbing the bear holding it in her hands. Despite being old and a little matted its caramel colored fur was still soft and gave off a slight smell of Collie's strawberry shampoo, the little gold and black vest it wore had a button missing, it's black tap 'shoes' were worn out and had patches of white showing, the top hat on its head was holding on my one thread and the shorts it was wearing colors had faded long ago.

"Why do you keep this thing? It's falling apart."

Collie stopped brushing for a second then smiled softly.

"I've had him since I was 4 of course he's seen better days but I love him. You wouldn't get rid of that doll under your pillow just because she got worn out would you?"

Magenta blushed but held the bear closer to her enjoying the feel of its fur. After a few more moments of silence she closed her eyes.

"What happened?"

Collie made a small humming noise in confusion as she worked out a particularly stubborn knot in her friends wild red mane.

"What do you mean?"

Magenta rolled her eyes. Just the other day Collie had asked her how she and Riff had come to be with Frank on earth but before Magenta could ask Collie how Frank had lured her in when the devil himself had called her away. It wasn't a topic they often discussed because both stories seemed unhappy so they left it be.

"How did the master get you here? You never told me."

Collie sighed shrugging despite knowing her friend couldn't see.

"There's not much to tell, Frank found me walking through town with a bag and called me over, I was looking to get out of town and he was there so he brought me here and you know the rest."

Magenta rolled her eyes.

"What about before that? Why did you want to get out of town?"

Collie went quiet for a long moment then she set the brush down and instead began gently running her fingers through the mess of frizzy curls before her as her mind wondered.

"Well where to start?"

Magenta leaned back closing her eyes.

"The beginning."

Collie chuckled at the blunt answer but her smile turned slightly sad.

"Well then I should start with my 5th birthday. We had just come back from Australia and mom put me to bed with the musical box Laura had given me. Thinking I was asleep she kissed my forehead and left the room, after a few minutes I heard her and my father arguing downstairs, being 5 I didn't know any better to just stick my head under the pillow and try to ignore so I climbed out of bed and crept to the landing of the stairs and hid behind the banister listening. Mom was yelling about my father's upcoming business trip that would send him all the way to New York for a month, she wasn't angry because she thought he would be unfaithful or something no she was upset because he wouldn't be there to watch my first dance concert and he had spent more time with my uncle while we were in Australia than he did me. Dad didn't say anything until she'd calmed down then he held her close and apologized and promised he'd make up to me as soon as he got back."

Collie paused wiping her cheeks as she realized she'd started crying a little.

"But the day after he left there was a call for mom and when she came out of the kitchen she was crying, hard, and she sat beside me on the floor of the living room until Saturday morning cartoons were over then she turned off the tv and told me that dad wasn't coming home because his plane had crashed. I had cried for the whole day and mom didn't try to comfort me because she was hurting just as bad."

Magenta heard her whimper and stood up taking her hand in the one that wasn't holding the bear and lead her over to her large four poster bed and climbed in inviting her to follow. Collie curled up beside her sitting so her back was against Magenta's chest as the other woman wrapped her arms around her waist and put the bear in her lap.

"When I was 6 mom met a guy at church, Jason, he was nice enough when he came over for dinners or when he'd take mom out on dates and they'd leave me home with a sitter. He was handsome to, he had brown hair and pale green eyes, and a smile that mom said could knock girls off their feet. But when he would come over early for dinner and sit beside me on the sofa he'd sit really close to me and put his arm around me, I didn't see much wrong with it thinking he was just being nice since I was his girlfriend's daughter but when he began to rub my arm and try to pull me into his lap I would freak out. Once I screamed so loud because he tried to force me into his lap that mom dropped her favorite baking dish and it shattered everywhere. But each time she came rushing he'd move away from me and look shocked at me like I'd screamed for no reason, mom yelled at me then and sent me to bed."

She shuddered and Magenta held her closer, she'd heard that terrified scream from her friend once before and that was when she'd had a horrid nightmare and woke sobbing uncontrollably, Frank hadn't known what to do and pushed her onto Magenta who eventually calmed her down and got her to sleep.

"Two years later mom married him and things got worse, I'd catch him watching me as I practiced my tapping, more than once I swear he was peeping on me in the shower but every time I told mom she said I was being ridiculous. When Carol was born when I was 10 he laid off for awhile seeing as I was Carol's favorite but I'd still catch him peeping on me when he thought I wasn't looking."

Collie started to cry harder hugging her bear so close Magenta worried it's head would pop off.

"When I was 14 I stayed up late to finish school work and it was 1 in the morning when I went to bed, Jason had been out with friends and came home drunk deciding he was finally going to do what he'd been wanting to for god knows how long. He came into my room and locked the door, he pinned me to the bed and shoved a balled up sock in my mouth before he ripped off my pajama shorts and underwear then pulled down his own pants and raped me. I screamed and screamed but the gag kept anyone else from hearing as I cried and tried to get away but the more I fought the more it hurt he saw to that."

She took a deep breath slowing her tears a little.

"When it was over he threatened that if I ever told anyone he'd kill mom and Carol and see to it that I was blamed and sent away to an insane asylum. When he left the room I took the gag from my mouth and sobbed as hard as I could from pain and fear. Later that year my mother got tired of his drinking and after learning he was sleeping with other women she left, didn't bother to try and take Carol or I with her she just left. I spent the next four years taking beatings and more horrible things to protect Carol from them because I didn't want him touching her."

Magenta felt anger burn in her stomach as she held Collie almost protectively imagining seeing the man suffer for what he did. Collie closed her eyes taking a deep breath again as her tears stopped.

"When I was 19 Carol asked me why I had a bruise on my face and on my arms and I told her that kids at school were picking on me, I guess he had been listening because that night he raised a hand against Carol and I lost it, I jumped between them and shoved him as hard as I could away from us so he fell back and smacked his head on the floor. He got up holding his head to see me holding Carol as she cried scared before he called me a little slut and grabbed me by my throat slamming me against the wall. I seen Carol sobbing terrified and told her to run, I guess she went to the neighbors cause the next thing I knew the cops broke the door in and they pulled Jason off me and arrested him. I tried to get custody of Carol myself but being only 19 and working only part time at the pizzeria in town they said I couldn't and took her away to a foster family, I tried to get them to send her to Laura in Australia but I found out she wasn't living there any more and no one knew where she was living then. Carol was sent to live with a couple in Texas I haven't heard anything from or about her since. After that happened I was on my own but I had nowhere to go so I gathered my stuff and tried to leave town."

Magenta knew what was coming as she rested her chin on Collie's shoulder.

"I was walking through town looking for a ride out of town when Frank found me. He pulled up beside me and like he does he smooth talked me into coming to the castle and you know the rest."

Magenta gave a small smiled sitting up and put her hands on Collie's shoulders.

"Have you tried to find Carol or Laura since?"

Collie shook her head turning to face her.

"No I figure if Carol wanted to get ahold of me she would have wrote a long time ago and Laura I have no idea, she got offered a modeling job once she was out of highschool but I don't know if she ever took it or if she just moved."

Magenta nodded before laying down holding open her arms for Collie to lay down which she did smiling and nuzzling close closing her eyes. Holding her close Magenta lightly kissed her head.

"It'll be okay Collie at least she doesn't need to worry about that asswhole doing to her what he did to you."

Collie flinched a little at the idea but nodded before falling asleep. Magenta sighed laying awake for a while thinking over all her friend had told her before closing her eyes and falling asleep both unaware of the events that would soon change everything.

A/N2: Okay so that turned out longer than I thought but then again the original draft each age for Collie was a different chapter so I like how this one flows. At any rate your OC ideas are still welcome I have a few idea's of what I can use some for so don't be shy to post an idea for one just include the following: Name, Age, Gender, and basic features (hair color, eye color and height) i'll credit you if you send one that I use and give you a cookie! Just PM the info or comment it with your review! Thanks for reading!
