AN: Back again with another chapter. Just a quick warning for mentions of abuse, so if that bothers you, it might be a good idea to skip it.
Chapter Text
As I was waking up, Magenta came in with the oatmeal. She really knew how to cook. She even made something as simple as oatmeal look delicious. It had blue berries, chopped apples, banana slices, cinnamon, and almonds in it. I had some of an appetite, so eating this would be a treat. "I hope you like it. I've made this for Columbia and Riff for breakfast several times, and it's a hit, so you should like it, too." "It looks so good. Thank you so much. I'm actually hungry. Hopefully this is a sign I'm getting better." "So you're feeling better, then?" "Yeah, a little. I'm still congested, my chest hurts, and I'm sore from...well, you know." Magenta nodded. "Now, be careful. It's very hot, take your time." I took the first spoonful and blew on it. When I put it in my mouth, all the flavors came together it tasted divine. "So, how is it?" I gave a thumbs up. "Looks like you've outdone yourself again, Mags." "Naturally. Being Frank's maid for so many years has only made my cooking better." "You mean, you haven't only been serving him here on Earth?" "No. We've had to serve him for years, but we'll talk about it later, okay? You should finish your oatmeal while it's hot. If you want, we have a humidifier you can use." "I'll keep that in mind." I finished eating, and Magenta was about to take the bowl downstairs. We heard a knock at the door.
"Magenta, can I come in?" It was Riff. She let him in. "I wanted to see how you're feeling." "I'm feeling better than I was, but I could be better considering what happened last night. I'm sure you know. Frank seemed thrilled." "Yes, I know. I wanted to tell you how sorry I am. I know there's no apology that can change what happened. Thankfully the affects are temporary. I wanted to share something with you. The only reason I'm opening up to you is because Magenta trusts you and has bonded with you a great deal. Before we came here, we were servants to the Royal family. Our father was regarded as one of the best servants they had. He was able to make plenty of money to support us. When he became ill and passed away, the Queen Mother offered us the opportunity to become servants to the Royal family, since she had so much respect for our father. We hand nowhere to go, so we took the job. We lived with her and the rest of the family and were provided meals. We lived rather luxurious lifestyles, no one would guess we were servants. The only negative to all of it was Master. He always acted nice around the queen, but when she wasn't with us, his demeanor was much different. He barked us around, treated us like slaves. It wasn't that bad at first until one day Master was in his room with the door closed. I could faintly hear crying. At first, I paid no attention to it, but the sobs became lounder. When I went back to approach the door, she came out and the door slammed behind her. I went over to her, and asked if she was alright. She said the master was in a mood and tried to force himself on her. He became frustrated with her and made her leave, she ran off crying. When I finished my task, master called for me. He was discouraged from his failed attempt earlier, so he tried to seduce me. I refused saying that I was already involved with Magenta. He became angry and he said I was arrogant to refuse him. He said I would regret it. He would beat me if I messed up on any tasks, whip me, though at that time only with a leather belt, and sometimes burn me with cigarettes. He overreacted just to get back at me. He also excluded me from social events. Not once has he ever thanked me for my hard work. I've done everything he asked of me and more, and all I've ever gotten was exclusion and abuse! And when the queen decided to let him be the one to study Earth, he chose us as his loyal servants to go with him. And as you know, the abuse of everyone he comes across continues." "I can't believe you had to go through that. Frank is such a lunatic. Maybe it's a good thing he's not interested in taking on the royal title. I bet being under his rule would be Hell. I can see why you wouldn't want to tell the queen and risk losing your home. She took you in when you had no place to go. And since she had respect for your father you're probably like family to her." Riff nodded. "Yes. There's something else I should mention while I'm here. That formula isn't the only one. Master is making me continue to help him. I will make him pay somehow." Sometime later we heard heels on the carpet in the hallway. "Riff Raff, are you in there?" Why did he have to be here so soon?
Frank opened the door. "There you are, Riff Raff. And so is everyone else." To my dismay, he looked over at me. He knew I didn't want him here. "Stay the fuck away from me, you monster." He came over to the bed and sat down. "Now that's not a very nice thing to say." I tried to get away from him, but he sat me in his lap and pulled me into his chest. I could hear his heartbeat and it made me more unsettled. He leaned in closer to my ear and whispered. "You know, out of all the humans I've slept with, most weren't as satisfying as you. I'll take my time and make sure you're better prepared next time." I was too horrified to say anything. Was that supposed to be a complement? I knew exactly what he meant by "satisfying." Magenta could tell I was distressed. "Can't you tell she's not in the mood to be harassed? She needs a few days to get better." Frank thought about it. "I can give her a few days. Come along, Riff Raff." They closed the door behind them while I sat on the bed mortified.
AN: I hope you all enjoyed this one. I wanted to add a bit more backstory to Magenta and Riff Raff since we don't get to see much about that in the movie. So I thought it would add more to their characters. I was originally planning to put this in the previous chapter, but it was taking so long to put everything together, I decided to make it its own chapter.
