I started writing this fic to deal with the suicide of a very dear friend of mine in a productive manner since I was going throught some major depression at the time. Thought technically it's written in the format of a ReaderXCharacter story, the main character is actually my friend since I wanted her to have a happier ending than what she did have..

Prologue: Just Another Day in the World We Live .

Rajani! Help!

It had been a long time since you had reached out to her, especially since she had refused to, in her own words, "coddle you" by taking over anytime you had any hardships. You knew why she'd done that and had eventually stopped pestering her about it but now… now you really needed help and you had no one else to turn to. Not even Hades.

The two men had cornered you in an alleyway and everything about them spelled 'bad news' in bright neon lights with oversized arrows pointing at them.

You had noticed they had been hanging around your sleeping spot several times since two weeks back so you had changed locations. It had given you a week of relief until you had spotted them yesterday, once again near your new sleeping spot. You were planning on changing spots again today after work but they had you cornered.

It wasn't at all easy to corner you. At least not after two -going on three- years living on the streets. You knew every nook and cranny of the city, from the glamour filled mansions in the richest side, right down to the hobo camps under the bridge with small fires to keep the warmth on the poorest one.

The mere fact that they had managed to best you meant these men weren't new to stalking. In fact they were dangerously expert at it. And, looking at the predatorial look plastered on their faces as they leered at you, you were pretty sure they did more than just stalking and cornering. Much, much more. And they were smart enough to ambush you far away from your sleeping spot where Hades would have balanced the odds.

You felt Rajani assess the situation and the environment around you. It was clear she had been sleeping but she was alert instantly as soon as she realized the seriousness of the situation.

Welp! Want the good news or the bad news first?

The good ones please!

Well… we are finally getting laid after six whole years.

Raj!

What? It's true! I sort of miss sex, ya know? Though I don't really want it with these guys. They are out to fuck us up… literally. Bad news is that they look very much the part of the tipical fuckill.

…fuckill?...

First they fuck and then they kill so that there aren't any witnesses.

You tried to sidestep them but they predicted that. They were still far enough away that you didn't need to rush Rajani with your mental talk.

Fuuuuuuuuuuu… Any way out of this?

If you had started martial arts training when I told you to you would have. As things are… we are gonna need some jackpot luck here.

We didn't have enough money back then… and if this hinges on luck we are screwed… literally. Lady Luck isn't exactly our friend.

So we will just rely on my savage nature, then. I'll take over now.

You felt yourself being distanced from your body as she took over. Like always you felt sort of numb but, at the same time, not numb? You didn't feel your physical body but in the corner of your mind your mental one felt just as real.

Rajani postured close to the ground so she wouldn't be felled easily and hissed like a cat. The men, who had been slowly and cautiously approaching laughed.

Seriously, Raj? No one took that shit seriously back on fifth grade, let alone now!

Shut up, you.

They pounced suddenly hoping to catch them by surprise but Rajani was ready. Her hands posed like claws she tried to scratch the eyes of the one closest and kicked him back into the other one when he covered his face. Asshole number two dodged the bulky body of his partner and went for her legs. Rajani jumped out of his arms reach and kicked at his head. However Asshole number one was back again and grabbed it before it could inflict damage.

With all the ease his bulging muscles could achieve he pulled her leg up sharply, flipping her over her head. She fell down face first and tried to get up while still dazed. You screamed for Rajani feeling just as dazed as she.

But it was too late. Jerk number two grabbed both your arms behind you back and held them there painfully turning you towards his partner who held a small bow knife. He cut your shirt open at the front as well as your bra and stood there, salivating as a beast about to devour a nice chunk of meat after months of starvation.

Both you and Rajani shivered with dread and screamed for help hoping someone would hear… or at least you did. Rajani was mostly swearing aggressively at them guys.

I'm sorry. I should have taken that martial arts training like you said, money be damned! I'm so sorry, Rajani.

It's ok, Mir. Now close your eyes. You don't need to feel this.

And you do? Like hell I'm going to let you feel this when it's my fault this happened. I know how you feel about our body!

If there was one thing Rajani hated above all was being tainted in any way. After years of bullying you both felt your minds tainted with depression and your soul, or at least the part that Rajani occupied of it, tainted with hatred and bloodlust. That meant the only pure thing they had was their body and having that last haven violated by those two bastards would hit Rajani the hardest.

And I know you aren't strong enough. Trust me. I can handle this.

You were cut off by a sharp slap in the face. You both faced the man in unison. You would not be silenced by something as simple as a slap. They'd have to strangle you first! You screamed again and jerk number two tried to cover your mouth with his hand. His mistake. Rajani bit his pinky and ring finger off, as soon as his hand was close enough, and spat them out in the other's face. The asshole holding you let you go screaming in agony and the other one punched your face sending you sprawling deeper into the alley.

You saw people walking by the entrance of the alley and quickly took over to call for help. They paused long enough to see you…

*But nobody came

You felt defeated as you watched them scurry away so as not to get involved in the situation. You had always believed in the goodness of people. Rajani took over again. Unlike you, she didn't trust in people. If anything, she trusted solely in the capacity the human being had of using others as they deemed fit and discard them once their use was over. Unlike you she was unfazed by the lack of action from the strangers. She readied for another blow and tried to fight back.

This time she somehow managed to dodge the blow but before she could get a hit in on the opponent the other guy grabbed a broken pipe and hit her in the head.

Rajani still wanted to fight. She wanted to keep the last sanctuary she still had safe. But it gave out on her. Their body wasn't athletic enough to keep up with Rajani's fighting spirit.

You could feel the frustration fill Rajani, as she tried to make your body stand up again, failing every single time. They were closing in on you again. You united forces with your mind sister, as feeble as they were.

United, you managed to stand on your knees again, but nothing more. You felt the taste of blood on your mouth. But you glared at the men right in their eyes. You may have lost, but you would never show them how defeated you felt.

It was then that they came and saved you…

This was how it all had started. This was how, a month and a half later, you were now trying to return the favor. This was why you were now standing in front of the most gaudy looking pink glittery door ever, hoping to get a hearing with Mettaton, the famous robot celebrity.
