Lucinda
From the dark alley to a colourful world, this is what Lucinda saw. She saw the weirdest colours and figures. It somehow reminded her of voodoo colours she saw when she used the magic, she could see the same masks as in Facilier's tent.
"Where... what.. is this place,.." Lucinda whispered softly to herself But it didn't took long before she was out of it again and the next thing Lucinda saw was the living room of the caravan.
"huh... How did we... how.. ? Huh...?" Lucinda was astonished by what just happened. First, she was in the city, the next thing is she is some kind of magical world and then she stands in the middle of the living room.
"Shadow... What's going on?" She whispered. The shadow looked around to see if someone was near, but they were still alone. He then explained to her that what he just did was not to be known by Facilier. But he didn't explained what exactly happened. Then Shadow handed over the paper bag with the bloodied rat tails. Lucinda looked with a disgusting face and sadness in her eyes to the paper bag. Still she grabbed the bag and all the other groceries. Lucinda made her way to the tent and to her surprise it was starting to get dark outside... which was odd, because when lucinda was still in town it would be around 3 PM. She then looked at her watch and saw that 2 hours passed by... How long were they gone in that world of shadow's. She took another good look at the sunset and her watch, but there was no other option then to accept this event and not to ask Facilier about it. When lucinda arrived at the tent Facilier waved at his last customer and then turned around to Lucinda.
"Lucinda! There you are, I was starting to get worried. What happened..?"
"Ah... Uhmm I went around shopping... but I haven't bought anything yet... Sorry that I made you worry..."
Facilier pulled Lucinda closer to him and walked back to the tent. He then let go of her and looked at the bloodied bag.
"Uhmm.. Lucinda... is..are these,... my groceries?" Facilier asked as he poked at the paper bag.
"yeah... Fresh rat tails... from 'the silent whispers'..." Lucinda didn't dared to talk about the incident that has happened a few minutes... uhmm hours ago.
Facilier looked a bit disappointed as he grabbed the paper bag and looked inside.
"Ahhww.. Now I need to dry them myself..." Facilier said as he grabbed the rat tails. Then something else struck them..
"Lucinda.. this blood is still warm... how fresh are they?"
Lucinda rolled with her eyes and sat down at his table with her head in her hands, mumbling
"Let's just say, the owners of those tails are probably still squeaking in pain..."
Facilier looked up at her, shocked at the information.
"what,..the...Oh god...Did... did you...Did you saw it...?"
Lucinda lifted up her head and looked away.
"Sort of.. Shadow closed my eyes, but I heard enough...and I hope this was the end of my punishment... cause I cant take any more of those things." Facilier placed the bag away and walked over to Lucinda.
"Shall we call it a day and go to the caravan...?" He proposed and guided her to the caravan. Lucinda nodded in agreement and walked besides Facilier to the caravan. Once they were in Facilier set up the tea kettle for Lucinda. Lucinda had already sat down and just remained silent.
Facilier
"God, I wondered what happened to her in that store, There is something fishy about this. I set her off at the store,... shows up 2 hours later and yet the rat tails are still warm like they just ripped off a second ago." Facilier made Lucinda a cup of tea and sat next to Lucinda.
"Here, Drink up. It will make you feel better."
Lucinda grabbed the cup and hold it near to her, as it was the only heat source she had and held dear to her. Facilier saw she was quite having a hard time, and it were not only those rat tails. He sat closer to her and threw his arm around her to make her more comfortable.
"Hey Cherie, what happened...? There is more than those rat tails, isn't it...?"
Lucinda looked at Facilier and at his shadow for a moment.
"will you promise to be mad at me,...? and not at anybody else...?"
Facilier was quite astonished at this request.
"Please, Lucy. Just tell me. I wont get mad at all, I just want to know what is bothering you. To be a good ShadowWoman, you need to clear your mind" He said with a small smile and a wink. Lucinda gave a weak smile in return and leaned to him
"Facilier,... When I was in that store and he cut those tails off... I was too hysteric,... and I freaked out, kinda. And Shadow took me away from it... He took me to this other dimension.. and the next ting I saw was the Caravan. we kind of teleported... but it also took two hours in this world... but for me it took a few seconds."
She looked up to see his reaction. He had a large frown on his face and looked a bit angry.
"Hmm.. I'm not happy that you entered the other side without me,... But if you were in danger and this was the only out way, then... I can't be mad at any of you. I'm Just glad you both are safe..."
The gloom and depression faded away from Lucinda and she looked a whole lot happier. Facilier lifted his hand up to her cheek to caress her softly.
"May I ask you something else, Mon Cherie..?" Lucinda looked up and nodded.
"The owner of this store... did you still know how he looked like... maybe know his name...?" Lucinda frowned deeply, not really wanted to remember that evil man.
"I didn't catch his name, but he was very pale, had greasy black hair and for his clothes, they were all black. That's the only think I can know about him..."
"Hmm..." Facilier hummed as he got lost in thoughts
"Definitely Chris... I was hoping the store would have a different owner by now... If I knew this I would have never send her to that store... I should have walked in with her for just a second..."
It didn't took long for Facilier was taken out of his own thoughts by this soft voice of Lucinda.
"Facilier... Facilier!... Do you know him... Do you know this man...?"
Facilier looked down to her and comforted her.
"Don't worry lucy... He won't harm you any more, just stay away from him from now on...Okay?"
Lucinda nodded obedient and did ask any further questions. She was happy Facilier was not angry at her or Shadow. She closed her eyes and leaned on Facilier.
Facilier looked down at her and wrapped her arm gently around her.
"What a troublesome girl, she is... But still very cute and sweet... you could almost say she has more charisma then me... I wonder if she would let me hold her like this more often..." Facilier thought for himself and caught himself blushing. But this was no time for anything juicy and happy... She needed to go to the police station and clear things out!
"Hey... Cherie... Don't fall asleep... you still need to do one more thing for me..." He whispered softly to her, to wake her up.
Lucinda opened her eyes again and blinked a few times at Facilier.
"What's wrong... what do I need to do then..."
Facilier caressed her through her golden hair to remind her a bit and she knew already what he meant.
"Oh.. yeah. Almost forgot it.." She answered dreamingly.
Facilier helped her to get up and looked deeply in her eyes.
"get yourself washed up and then we will move to the local police station."
Lucinda
Lucinda nodded and moved herself upstairs to wash up her face. She also picked a different uniform for the visit. She didn't wanted to cause Facilier any more trouble then she already did. When she was done with washing up her face and dressing herself up, she looked one last time in the mirror. She sighed deeply and walked down the stairs.
There she meets Facilier and Shadow who are ready to go. Facilier grabbed his cane and offered his arm to her. She smiled slightly and took his arm.
"Lets get moving then..." Facilier said as he opened the door for them and started the journey to the police station.
