Taking in a large sum of air, she pulled away from his grasp. Wrapping herself up in the sheets, Aleena swung her legs around. Getting up she kept her eyes off Facilier. "Leave."

Hearing the creaking of the bed, Aleena stiffened. "What was that darlin?"

Running her fingers through her hair, Aleena turned and looked up into Facilier's face. "Leave now." The Doctor shook his head and stepped closer, causing Aleena to back away. "Why so eager to get rid of me?"

Aleena dropped her gaze and turned around making her way to door. "Because…because this is wrong. Everything about this is wrong."

A booming laugh echoed through the room. Aleena glanced up and found Facilier standing in front of her, looking down at her. "You didn't seem to think so a few hours ago."

Snarling in agitation, Aleena walked away, trying to keep her distance. "I wasn't thinking straight." Her exposed shoulders were engulfed in warmth. She attempted to stay rooted to the spot. But Facilier was strong. He pulled her into him. Leaning forward he brushed his lips against the nap of her neck. Kissing his way up to her ear he whispered. "Is your head clear now chere?" Shivering, Aleena shook her head. Chuckling, Facilier's played with her earlobe. "You sure darlin, cause I can hear your mind begging for more of what I gave ya. And it ain't out of lust."

His hands ran up and down her sides. Taking her hands in his, he made her relinquish the sheets. Facilier guided Aleena's hands over her own flesh. Ripping her hands from his grasp, Aleena pushed him away. "I don't love you!"

Facilier blinked, shocked at first. Moving in closer again he replied "Ya sure chere? Because your mind was an open book to me only a while ago, you were thinking of all the times you ever bedded a man. And that none of them ever satisfied you the way I did."

Aleena's hands balled into fists. "Get out!"

Throwing back his head, Facilier laughed. Aleena stared. Wiping a tear from his eye, the Doctor looked at her. "And deny ya'll the pleasure and ecstasy I could give ya, now why would I do that chere?"

Clapping her hands over her ears, Aleena let out a frustrated scream. "Why do you keep talking?"

Raising an eyebrow, Facilier stepped forward and pulled her hands away. Aleena grabbed his shoulders and threw him across the room. Her eyes were a glowing a wild crimson. Facilier's eyes widened. She was gasping, almost as if she were hyperventilating. Aleena clutched her head, and her eyes returned to their original color. They were fearful and unsure, but the anger returned fast. "Look at what you made me do! You made me lose control! I could have died, I could have killed you!"

Facilier stood, cradling his bruised shoulders. "Why does my dying matter to ya?"

Aleena took a careful breath, trying to sustain control. "Because, I can't kill another human, or the universe will seek to punish me, even if my killing you is justified. You are still human, still a barer of a soul…No matter how cold and desolate it is when it comes to human kindness."

Mock pouting, Facilier chuckled. "That stung chere. But I hear tell that you told Ryder that if he insulted me in your presence you would kill him."

Aleena's face went blank, she was floored. And how Facilier had heard about what she had said was beyond her. Facilier ventured closer. "Then that wasn't just gossip I was hearing huh?"

Shaking her head, Aleena walked away to her closet and pulled out a clean dress. Letting the sheet drop she proceeded to put on her clothes. "As far as Ryder is concerned he is in no place to call anyone names, especially ones that pertain to the color of a man's skin. You are a horrid person, but you made yourself that way. Your race had nothing to do with it."

He watched as she began to cover her body up. He sighed. "I wish ya'll didn't do that chere."

Aleena glanced around she began to pin her hair up in front of the small mirror. "What?"

Slowly, tauntingly, he moved to stand behind her "Covering up like that."

His fingers played with the zipper of her dress, slowly pulling it downward. Aleena shivered. Facilier looked into the mirror and smiled. "Ya'll are beautiful, and ya'll are mine."

Her body stiffened. "I am not yours, I'm not any ones. Nor will I ever be."

Facilier smirked. "Aw but I've marked you my dear."

Aleena shrugged his hands off and spun around. "What did you just say?" Laughing, the Doctor grasped her chin, and moved her head to the side. His fingers brushed against what felt like and indent in her flesh. Pushing him away, Aleena spun around and looked into the mirror. There on the back base of her neck was a small burn, a burn whose shape resembled a capital F.

Aleena tried several times to remove it. But it did nothing; the burn remained, glowing a faintly with voodoo magic. Facilier wrapped his arms around her waist. "You will always be mine chere. No matter where you go. You will never forget me no matter how hard you try."
