I don't own DP.

Sam's yellow eyes blazed in fury. This thing- this putrid creature- was feasting on her emotions for the last few weeks, and now it was going to eat her? She opened her mouth to speak her so called 'final words'-

-but Clockwork beat her to it. He had just stepped into the forest cloaked in darkness. His crimson eyes lit up in major surprise when he spotted Sam.

"Sam! You're alive!" He cried out in relief. A tired smile wound around Sam's face as she saw Clockwork. His smile disappeared as he saw the ghost next to her.

"Lang... It's been awhile. A hundred years since you were released from prison?" He said with a frown. Lang plucked a lilac out of thin air and begin fiddling with it.

"Clockwork. I didn't miss hearing your voice those lonely years of prison," it spat viciously. With a laugh it tore the lilac in half and threw it to the forest floor.

"Lang, what are you doing with my apprentice? Why are you in her mind at all?"

Lang floated over to Sam. It's finger caressed Sam's face as it spoke. Sam growled, but a blush rose on her cheeks against her will.

"Longing and lust thrive in this child. How could I miss such an opportunity?" it purred. Clockwork looked at Sam in surprise.

"Samantha...? She's innocent of such thoughts..." He trailed off and looked at Sam. Her face was void of emotion. Clockwork tried to meet her gaze, but she avoided it. He let out a tired sigh and look back to Lang.

"Regardless if that's true or not, she is not a suitable host for you. Far from it, in face."

Both Sam's and Lang's eyes opened wide.

"Not a suitable host? She has been the finest meal I've eaten in centuries!" Lang proclaimed in shock. Clockwork let out a knowing grin.

"You haven't been in the human world, have you? Talk to Technus. He can hack you into what humans call 'dating sites.' So much lust and longing thrive there, and it's an everlasting source. In exchange for getting out of my apprentince's mind, I will escort you to Technus and allow you not to be imprisoned by Walker for your crime. Do we have a deal?"

The offer did sound extremely tempting to Lang. Unlimited power... Lang could learn to love that.

"We have a deal," said Lang with a wicked grin. "Shall we exit now?"

Clockwork shook his head.

"I need to escort my apprentice to my companions first, and then I shall escort you out." He said. Lang nodded.

"Fair enough. As promised, I will stay here."

Clockwork frowned.

"Oh no. I don't trust you enough by yourself. You're coming with us until I drop off Samantha. Come along."

Lang growled and unwillingly trailed behind Sam and Clockwork.

"Clockwork, do you know another power I have?" it questioned. Clockwork glared at it.

"Whatever it is, don't tr-"

Sam's dirty and torn clothes suddenly transformed into a beautiful gothic gown, frilled with black lace at the edges. It had no shoulders and dipped with a v neck corset. Sam's face turned a bright cherry red. But what surprised her most was her hair was now black again, and her eyes violet.

Lang smirked. "I can change appearances of others. I think she looks beautiful now, don't you agree?"
