Chapter 1: Here will be Soon
Crack! A scorching bolt of lighting struck , illuminating the night sky. Heavy rain pounded on the pavement below, keeping a steady beat like that of a heartbeat. Inside the darkened castle, the mood was sharper than lightning with its inhabitants feeling their hearts skip a beat. "So, you thought you could escape the punishment of rejecting my demands?" Crack! Lightning struck as a leather whip met bare skin. The accused only closed his eyes, never showing even a hint of pain.
"No, Master." he said in an almost inaudible reply. He was met with two more slaps of the whip, amounting to more than a hundred altogether.
"You will never,… ever… disgrace me like that again. Do you understand!" A final crack of the whip, sending the accuser into an almost crazed state.
"Yes, Master"
With the vowel of loyalty restored, the tattered and torn man was released from the cold metal shackles that held him so bitterly. Without a loving hand, he immediately fell to the ground, a bruised heap of a man left with little pride to sacrifice. He bent his throbbing head up enough to glare at his tormentor as he slowly rose to his feet. He was met with a look of mad satisfaction. "I do feel sorry for you, Riff Raff, but really… it's your own fault. You know the orders, you are to obey me. Can you not see how fortunate we are? Can you not see how fortunateyou are? Such a pity. If you would like me to prove just how grateful you should be to me, I will more than gladly dispose of your precious sister, but-"
"No! I am sorry, Master. I shall not disobey you again." said Riff Raff, giving in to his only weak spot, his sister.
"Good. Just as I thought. Now, up with you. We have big plans for tonight. This is the night that my beautiful creation, my Rocky Horror," he said with amounting arousal in his tone. "is destined to be born. We can not, and Iwill not, let anything spoil it. Now, I must go and prepare for our guests. Hurry and get yourself ready. If you and your sister know what's good for you, you'll be on your best behavior tonight. No more slip-ups." With that, he left the room, carelessly running his fingers over an oversized pearl necklace on his neck.
"Brother!" Magenta came running into the room, her thick accent mixing with her nasally tone from crying. Her petite body crushed against his broad frame, holding him too tight until she believed she could shelter him from the pain of this world. Although he was weak and his sister's loving hands pressed against his fresh, bloody wounds, he embraced her with as much power as he could. Here, in her arms, was the only place he felt safe. Here, he knew one day everything would be okay again. Here, he saw distant plans finally coming into a still focus.
They remained silent as they walked towards his bedroom chamber. The only sound heard was the pitter patter of raindrops against the gothic windows of the castle. They grasped each other's hand, speaking in a language only that of Romeo and Juliet could here. They knew it was risky to be together in Riff Raff's bedroom, especially after Frank 'N Furter tortured them both after catching them lying naked in each other's arms when Magenta sneaked over. Any false step could cause them both to be caught, which led to only more bloody and bruising torture. Still, Riff Raff was injured and Magenta refused to be anywhere but by his side. As they entered the room and shut the door, a peculiar feeling hit them both. Tonight was, indeed, the night.
"All the pieces are coming together, my most beautiful sister." said Riff Raff, lying on his stomach as Magenta gently cleaned his open wounds.
"Soon, my brother, soon. You shall never have to feel the burden of pain and heartbreak again." Magenta smiled as she put her washcloth on the bedside table and laid down beside her brother. She watched his ragged breathing as his mind turned in billions of thoughts at once. His long face, haggard with years of exhaustion, slowly lit into a sinister smile.
"And soon Frank 'N Furter will be destroyed, and we shall be together forever"
