Just a stupid one shot I thought of as I tried to fall asleep.

As Avery, an orange haired girl that stood around four feet and eleven inches, blinked her mismatched eyes in shock Pinhead, her demonic love and lover, took this opportunity to leave the room. The girl just couldn't fathom why he was worried about Angelique, the former princess of darkness, coming back to hell. Sure Pinhead was the Prince of Darkness and she the former princess, but what threat could she possess? Avery got the answer to that question moments later.

"So you're his new whore?" A woman who Avery immediately identified as Angelique said. The skin that covered her head was sliced open and pulled down. It stayed like that because pins that had wire held it that way. "Your services will no longer be required." And that was Avery's answer. This woman had been with Pinhead in the past and was going to try to get with him again.

"I am no whore." Avery said in an eerily calm voice. In any other situation resembling this she would have been yelling and all that good stuff. But she knew that with this woman it would get her no where. In this situation she would have to be calculating and sensible. "I sell myself to no one." Both women watched each other and tried to guess the others next move.

"you will never please him as I have. I was his lover a long time ago." Angelique said. She watched as Avery narrowed her eye to but mere slits. And when Avery got a confident and cocky smirk she wondered about this girl. "Going to admit that I am better than you so soon."

"No." Avery said and kept her grin. Angelique felt threatened by her for some stupid reason. The girl was only human, a weaker being, nothing more. And to see this inferior thing act all high and mighty pissed Angelique off to all high heaven. Yet it worried her. What was she so confident about?

"What?" She hissed as anger took control of her. At this point Female entered through a door behind Angelique and saw Avery's smirk. She knew Avery had found a way to win this game of chess, and so quickly too. It was the smirk that told Female that. Avery had a tell and the tell told of one single thing, it said 'check mate'. When Avery had been Females 'pet' they both had enjoyed mind games like chess. And though Avery lost a lot she did win occasionally and when those times arrived they both knew it, Female knew because of the smirk.

"Your right." Avery said and lifted an eyebrow. Her smirk never left as she told her opponent that she was right. Female narrowed her eyes trying to figure what Avery was getting at. "Was. That is not anymore. And a lot can change in a 'long time'." Avery turned to leave and five steps away she looked over her shoulder to both stunned women. "And some food for thought, he set you away and never picked you back up. Also he took a human as a lover before you again. So, does that make you less than me in his eyes?" And she left with her words floating in the air. It took a minute for them to sink in for Angelique.

"I believe that would be check mate." Female said and then she too left the furious Angelique to stay in that room alone.
