A/N: yea I suck for uploading chapter 1 one week for my exam week and then not uploading 'cuz I have to study and shitsels. But I wanted to do it anyways. So here it is! (Yeah I make no sense, my brains are fried.)
Last time:
Glancing toward the moon, it should be around 3 in the morning. Yawning she stood up and walked toward the village. She could see the street with the pub she was only hours ago. She saw a group of four entering the tavern. Rena turned to pick up her coat and went to the village again.
Chapter 2
Law entered his room, he'd like his privacy and he didn't want to keep his crew awake with his sleeping disorder. Kicking out his shoes and stripping of his clothes, and put on some sweatpants. As he went to climb into his bed, there was a soft knock on the door. He grumbled and turned to the door.
"Who's there?" he asked. A small laugh was all he got as an answer, but it was enough to be recognized by the surgeon. He had heard that sound earlier this evening.
Opening the door with a "what do you want" he was surprised there was no one there. There was a cold wind flowing through the room now though.
"Now, now, it's always the same questions… isn't it? 'Who are you?' 'What do you want' 'Why are you doing this' … Isn't that just sad?" Law looked back at her with suspicion. She was sitting in the window aperture.
"Ohw come on don't look at me like that, I saw you checking me out in the bar tonight. I thought I would pay you a visit. Also, I have a favor to ask." Rena said scratching her head.
"And that might be?" closing the door, Law took a seat on his bed. Rena eyed him for a moment 'he looks hot in just sweatpants' "speak" Law said with clear annoyance in his voice.
"Ah, right" hopping of the windowsill, she walked over to the desk that was in the room. "Did you know that this island is being ruled by an asshole royal? I want to take him down, and I find it boring to do that I'd have to do it all alone" she smirked.
"Why would I help you" "Well you could get some fun too..? I heard you like slicing up people. And also, since you're a pirate… you can have the money, I'm not after that."
"No. Not interested" Law said getting up to show her the door. He tried to play it cool and not let her show any signs of what he was planning. What she wouldn't know was that he was planning to go rob someone's place on this island empty, the crew was a bit short on cash.
Rena was also getting up. "Very well, than I guess I will see you tomorrow." She eyed his slightly shocked expression with amusement.
"Yes, I know of you are short on money, and I could've made them a lot easier for you, but as you wish! I'll do it alone!" she almost sang. Somehow she saw right through him.
"Ok wait. I have some conditions when we are going to work together" Law said.
"Why would you want any more than money and, more importantly, a lot of fun out of it?" Smirking Rena turned around. "Oh well... So tell me hun, what do you need? Surely we can come to an agreement?"
"First, I need your name. And second, a detailed plan." Law was serious. He knew quite well this woman could be dangerous to trust. On top of that, she looked so carefree that she might as well dance with the devil himself.
"I don't see why my name would help you anything… Oh well you may call me Rena" Rena smiled. "As for the plan…" pulling out a little cube out of her pocket. On the cube was a little button, which she pressed. The cube unfolded and smoothly formed in a chart on which were some sticky notes placed. "Well I got it mostly planned out". Law was impressed. He had never seen such a device before.
"I just need to do some calculating for you to fit in there, hmm…" Law looked at her as she was playing with some chess pieces on a chart of, what he guessed was, the royal's place.
As he looked closer, he saw a king, some bishops and a lot more knights than necessary for a chess play. They were all black. There were also 4 white pieces, a king, a queen and two knights.
"First things first. When did you arrive?" Rena asked without taking her eyes off the chess play. "Two nights ago, the log pose will set around midnight tomorrow."
"Okay, that's good. We shall operate tomorrow evening." Rena said. She had barely spoken, or there was a large sword at her neck. "I do not like to be ordered Rena-ya"
Surprisingly Rena acted as if she did not notice the sword nor that he had spoken, and kept on speaking as if her life was not in danger. "There will be a party tomorrow night. The black pieces you see here are the royal's people, with the king being our, or should I say mine, target. The bishops are party guests and the knights are … yeah guards."
Law, narrowing his eyes, was pressing his nodachi harder against her throat, hard enough that any movement would draw blood. "What you hold there will hardly be enough to end my life, it takes a lot more than a rusty switchblade to take me down" she chuckles darkly. "Moreover… I've got more lives than a goddamn cat. So please put that away." Moving her head to look at him, there was no blood. Law did not understand what was happening. For a moment he stared into her eyes and put away his nodachi. "I still do not like to be ordered around"
"Well tough luck, I don't like empty threats. Seems like we both don't get what we like" Rena brushed him off. "Now back to the plan… I have 3 invitations for you… Would you like to plunder the place first or would you like some slaughtering first?"
Explaining the plan further, Law was to take 2 subordinates to with him. They were to be dressed fancy. At first Law complained that he had no money to buy some fanciness. But Rena just countered that he was a pirate and that he could always 'rent' the suits and never bring them back.
Three men exited a carriage. All four were wearing a suit of which the collar were different colors.
The man with a green hat with an orange cap was wearing a suit of which the collar as well as the tie were orange. The second man had a dark blue hat on his head with the name 'Penguin', his suit had a dark blue collar and bowtie.
The third man, the leader of the club, was wearing a suit of which the collar was white with back specs. Around his neck was a yellow ascot bow tie. This man had no hat on, but he was wearing a big ass sword.
Law hid the sword somewhere out of sight and after that, the three men entered the mansion. A guard leaded them to the ballroom. It was crowded and a band was playing. "Shachi, Penguin, you know what to do. Try not to get to distracted." The men spread out over the dancefloor.
Apparently they came to the party after the welcoming word, and there were already a lot people drunk so they probably won't be noticed. Law was heading to get something to drink. A doll like woman was standing there enjoying her drink. At first Law was not paying attention to her, until she spoke. "You're men are cute"
Double checking the doll like woman next to him, he saw it was Rena, all dressed up "you look quite cute yourself, Rena-ya" he frowned. She was wearing a red and black strapless dress.
"Can't let the last thing they see, be an ugly rotten sadistic bitch." She looked at Law, showing him a glint of her insanity in her eyes.
"So the last thing they will see will be a beautiful but rotten and emotionless doll face?" Law quirked a brow.
"Oh no, no that won't be fair, now would it? No I'll let them see a beautiful rotten sadistic doll face" she laughed
"You should probably be going, I'll start having my fun soon. You'll join later?" Law nodded, he made eye contact with his subordinates, and gave 'the sign'. When he turned around to give Rena a last glance, she was already gone from her spot. Odd...
After Rena was sure that the heart pirates were out of the ballroom, she went to touch the walls "Dollhouse - Puppet play" turning around, she walked over to the stage there was for the band.
"Singing Dolls" Looking at the band members "Get to work you lazy fucks" the members started playing while the songstress grabbed the mic.
"I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm"
Rena jumped descended from the stage, and with a sickening smile she pulled out some knifes.
"And the scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold"
The crowd had fallen silent. Rena started twirling and dancing between the people.
"My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones
It keeps my veins hot, the fire's found a home in me
I move through town, I'm quiet like a fight
And my necklace is of rope, I tie it and untie"
Slowly some people started dancing again. Even the people who were hanging by the sides were now on the dancefloor. Eventually everyone, willing to or not, was dancing.
"People talk to me, but nothing ever hits home
People talk to me and all the voices just burn holes"
When the first bodies were falling to the floor, everyone was dancing and, even if they wanted to, they could not stop. Their bodies were like puppets, left to the mercy of the puppeteer.
"I'M DONE WITH IT (oooooh)
This is the start of how it all ends
They used to shout my name now they whisper it"
Rena started dancing faster, twirling like a ballerina between the guests. She saw the fear and anger in their eyes. But there was nothing they could do about her not killing them.
"I'm speeding up
And this is the red orange yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart"
To an untrained eye, it seemed that Rena was just killing the people randomly. But Rena knew exactly when she was slaying who, she picked the less willed, scared people first. And she saved the strong willed people, who were willing to fight, for later.
"We're at the start, the colors disappear
I never watch the stars, there's so much down here
So I just try…
Keep up with the red orange yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart"
As half of the body's lay on the floor, Rena released her hold on the stronger willed guests. They started attacking her, as Rena continued to down the others, still under her control. All the while just ignoring and dodging the angry mob.
"I dream all year but they're not the sweet kind
And the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time"
As all the puppets were down, she turned to the people chasing her. "Come to mama" And with a loud laughter she dashed into the angry mob, slicing everyone and everything in her way.
"People talk to me, I'm slipping out of reach now
People talk to me and all their faces blur"
The numbers of the party guests was drastically decreasing as Law entered the ballroom. Seeing Rena having her 'fun' gave him a smile.
"But I got my fingers laced together and I made a little prison
And I'm locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me"
As the music stopped playing, all guests, including the band, were dead on the floor. Law approach the woman who was crouched over one of the bodies. "Had your fun, Rena-ya? Oddly, she did not respond.
As law was reaching out for her, she jumped up and charged his neck. His instinct reacted fast as he douched the woman which made her crash into a table.
Law had gotten a glimpse of her face, which was bloodied, but underneath there was only a white mask with black holes for eyes and a mouth. "SHIT"
Groaning Rena looked up at law, her face was normal again, which made law wonder if he had imagined it. "What is it, and why am I hanging over this table…?"
"Are you okay?!" the other two heart pirates came running over. "We saw you flying into that table, what happened?" looking between their captain and the woman.
"Nothing." Law said as he turned around to the exit. "Let's get back to the ship. Rena you should come with us, I want to tend your wounds."
Rena blinked, 'wounds?' as she looked over her body, there was no blood. As she tried to stand up from the table, she all of sudden became lightheaded. "Shit, head wound…?" "Jackpot."
Walking as best after Law as she could, she couldn't keep up, but she knew where they had their ship. As the heart pirates went outside the mansion.
"Stay there you pirate scum! You are under arrest!" The mansion was surrounded with marines. "Surrender or we need to use force!"
"Men, it seems as we get to get some fun too. Don't hold back" Law ordered as he called his 'Room'
As they were fighting, Rena finally exited the mansion. With a look on the fighting crew and marines, there was only one thought; 'Fight for food'. And with that she jumped in the crowd.
When Law had finished his share of the marines, Rena was still trying to fend off her part of the marines. Before she noticed that a marine sneaked up behind her, Law's body went into action to save her. He did not even use his devil fruit, but tackled the marine with his body. Sadly, not before the marine could slash his sword over Rena's back. "AAH!"
Rena tried to call out for law to tell him that her back hurt, but everything was blurry and she somehow couldn't find the words to tell him. When she felt strong arms lifting her, she was already drifting off into sleep.
A/N: Yeah so the song is called 'yellow flicker beat' by Lorde. Like I said, this week is exam week… I'll try to upload the next chap at Friday but I can't promise anything… Luv ya :3
