The Frog Returns and What the Scorpion Learns

I was right in the middle of a conversation with Wick, the sanest of the Woe Maidens. When she whispered in my ear, "Looks like your Froggie has returned." I went back to where we had first met. I waited, and waited, for some reason my heart was pounding. I felt a heartbeat where there was none before; not for a long while at least. When I saw her, she was wearing that same green outfit. Except she didn't recognize me, I could see it already. Her eyes held fear, curiosity, and then she noticed me. Her expression changed, her eyes seemed to melt. Her smile grew, like she knew who I was but can't remember from what. I felt somewhat guilty about what I had done, and would do to her. It is my job... I can't help it. I would if I could, but I can't.

This time I ask her name; pretending I don't know what it is. My frog says "Tamara, what is your name?" She flutters her eye lashes and looks down blushing. I smirk and take her hand — like the right and proper gentleman — and kiss it lightly. "I am The Scor- umm" Did I want her to know my stage name, or maybe I could give her my Name, the name before I died. Do I still remember it... yes... I do, for this round I will have to be known by my stage name? After all I don't want to give her too much power.

"I am The Scorpion," How to make it seem less formal; maybe Scorpios as a nickname - Good idea. "You can call me Scorpios, all my friends do." I wink at her and she giggles. A shiver runs down my spine, She Is A Bad Little Love Isn't she? She's Mine. No, she is my current case; and nothing more. I can't let her be more.

After I murdered her 659 times

Each time I kill her I grow more and more attached, and learn more and more about her. Each time she wakes up, she doesn't recognize me... I can't do this anymore... it hurts too much. I am slowly growing to love her, I am learning about how her favorite color is Red; and she likes to dance in the rain, She loves pineapple. There is no one left in hell, for now Hell is our playground.
