Chapter Two (Lyonnesse POV): Papercut
"Wow! You picked a good one tonight, Luther." None other than Luther's subordinate, known only as Flare, pronounced this. Upon sight of the girl Luther caught for their pleasure, Flare nearly exploded with possibilities.
"Let me go, hentai!" the girl erupted in a explosion of insults toward the two young men. They were fair-headed; Luther had black hair while Flare had an invigorating shade of light red, uncommon for a male of his age. Luther had a muscular build with a eerie appearance to him, while Flare looked somewhat friendly and inviting. Flare's intention for his look was obvious, he wanted to look like an everybody. He has had a run-in with the authorities for quite some time, possession and distribution of drugs, possession of illegal firearms, and evasion of authorities. His cellmate, Luther, was in for assault, and possession of drugs. They were living together in this abandoned building to run a crime ring with the local gangs: Drugs for money and vice versa. This "business" with the girl was something Luther thought of the night before. They had been watching her for quite some time.
The girls name was Lyonnesse; she was 20 and had been wandering around the side of the town waiting for a friend. This particular night, she would be captured against her will to the alcove of Luther and Flare. She had mid-length dark blue hair, and had on a dark green blouse with a long skirt to match. She was dressed-up for something, but it didn't matter to Luther and Flare. This was their second "lady-friend" since either of them were put in jail. Flare had taken her purse and was looking through it.
"What do you think this thing is, Luther?" He was holding a device that appeared to be a whip with blades on it.
"Looks like she was going to do the same to someone, ha ha ha…" Luther laughed at his own joke, a sign of impudence, Lyonnesse thought to herself. If only she could reach the weapon, she could punish these fools who ruined her night. If only…
Lyonnesse looked around in the darkened room she was in. It was in shambles, she could definitely tell these guys were criminal just by the tiny plastic bags with 900 worth of cocaine in them. She decided she would retaliate once Luther released her to do her "work". 'How I long to carve the skulls of these freaks'…then she snapped. She would do more than punish them…
"Well, lets begin!" Luther barked impatiently at Lyonnesse.
"You can't win in a fight, don't try to struggle!" Flare was approaching her from behind when she dived for her Serpent Blade. It was quite a distance from her location to the blade, but she rolled as she landed and grabbed it with grace of a cat. She modified her whip to Punishment Change, and went into a fighting pose.
"You fools have no clue who you are messing with!" she screamed as she laid her whip down as a trap. She flung it upward as Luther swung at her and hit him in the stomach. He fell to his knees and held his wound. She conveniently ducked as Flare attempted to tackle her, Flare ran into Luther and, in a flurry of blood, Lyonnesse grabbed Flare and manipulated her blades to slice Flare to his death.
"There, is that painful?" she screamed. Luther begged Lyonnesse not to kill him, but his cries were in vain. After Lyonnesse's anger subsided, she took a step to relax. Then in set in what she had done. She just killed two men. Horrified, she gathered her belongings and ran out the door.
Lyonnesse rounded the corner when a policeman came near. She gasped, and desperately tried to cover the blood from the two men. Suddenly, she decided to cut herself to hide the real story. She grabbed her serpent blade and sliced herself. She winced at the pain, but she was used to it. Her master cut her frequently to get her used to the pain. She could only describe her master as a seemingly young female who never allowed Lyo to see her face. She was cunning and relentless, for when Lyo made a mistake her master would whip her. But Lyonnesse followed her master without any doubts. Lyo returned back to the present time when her master stopped coming to teach her.
"Young lady, are you alright?" the policeman gasped out as he saw Lyonnesse slide down a wall. He bought it. Lyonnesse was home free.
"No… I'll be… all right… please leave…" she faked. She had to make it plausible. It may have been a lost cause as the cop intended on helping her to a hospital. But Lyo pressed on. She didn't want to have to kill an officer of righteousness. She elbowed him in the stomach and knocked him out cold. At least no one else had to die today…
"I'm sorry, please forgive me…" she said to the unconscious officer. Lyo sighed and looked at her wound. Dammit! She was losing more blood than she realized, and the effects were setting in. She let the blood form a small puddle, and decided to find her master. Lyo needed help finding her purpose, and only her master could help her. She used the blood as a make shift ink, and made an alchemic star. With it, she would travel back to the time she was previously in. As the portal opened, she began to black out. Almost there… you can do it. She jumped in the portal with all of her strength, and then passed out.
If Lyonnesse had a stage/character theme, it would be "Maybe I'm A Lion" from "Final Fantasy VIII" OST Disc 4, track 8. This was taken from what RadicalEd has said.
