That night, after making sure everything had been done, Magenta ran to the palace laboratories. She didn't know which one Riff Raff was in so she shouted his name as she opened each door.
Finally finding him, clearing up after an experiment, she ran up to him and flung her arms around his neck.
"Hello, I've missed you too." He chuckled.
"Oh Riff." She mumbled.
When Magenta pulled back, he noticed she had tears in her eyes.
"Magenta? What's wrong? What did he do to you?" Riff Raff asked.
"Nothing. He didn't do anything to me. Oh Riff, I'm scared for you." She cried.
"Why? I'm fine Magenta. What is there to be scared about?" Riff Raff frowned.
"He's going to have you killed. He said that he was going to tell your supervisor about earlier and that it would be the last straw." She sobbed.
"Sh. Everything's going to be fine, you'll see. He was just angry, he didn't mean it." He whispered into her ear as he pulled her to his chest and stroked her hair.
"He's a powerful man. He can get what he wants. He's like Frank in a way." She told him.
Riff Raff didn't say anything. He knew this and started to feel frightened himself.
Letting go of Magenta, he took off his lab coat and placed it on one of the hooks.
He led her home and sat her down. Sitting down next to her, he placed his arm round her and let her sob into his shoulder. He had just got her back and now he was going to lose her again. It was too much for him to bear.
"It's going to be ok. Hopefully, he was just trying to get a reaction out of you." He sighed.
"Riff, I don't know what would happen to me if you were taken away. I can't live without you." She whispered.
Riff Raff felt tears in his own eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself.
"Don't speak like that Magenta. We will never part again, you hear me? Nothing's ever going to happen to us. Even if it does, I want you to promise me you'll move on with your life, find someone special and have everything you've ever wanted. A family, a home. Promise me." He said.
"Riff, I could never –"
"Magenta, please."
"I…I promise." She mumbled.
Kissing the top of her head, he breathed in her scent.
A thought popped into his head. She had told him he could have anything he had wanted, like Frank. Frank had managed to seduce Magenta a few times, even though she despised him. She hadn't wanted to do anything, she always felt guilty after. There was nothing she could do about it though, when their master wanted something, he wouldn't stop until he got it. He never cared for the consequences. If Frank had managed to seduce her, had her supervisor? He noticed the looks he gave her, sometimes they'd be smug, others just hungry for her. Had he gotten what he had wanted? Magenta had to do what he said, her life depended on it.
Riff Raff's eyes flashed red…
