Author's note: Okay we are back, will Mileena get out of the dungeon or not?, a kinda pointless question. If Mileena dies here then this wouldn't be much of a story.

CHAPTER 2 : Forbidden Thoughts
Leaving the dismembered corpse of Baraka with almost no meat at all left on its bones, the former empress made her way out of the cell. Now in the cold passage of the dungeon, in complete darkness she started to walk a few steps before almost collapsing on the floor, she managed to support herself on the wall besides her. Heavily gasping for air, thoughts came to her mind.
"My wounds may have healed but at cost of my fatigue. I can barely stand up, if I want to be in battle shape I need to rest a lot more hours but soon that traitor Kotal will send new pets to see what is taking so long for his prize to arrive."
She slowly started moving while supporting herself on the wall, taking steady steps still lost in her thoughts.
"Tsk, to think that a worthless mongrel of his skill level took that amount of energy out of me is unacceptable, shameful."- She scolded herself.
As much as she wanted to taste the blood of Kotal's still beating heart from her hands she couldn't face him in her condition, not to mention all the strong warriors at his command.
"I... I need to get out of here."- Thinking those words felt like a dagger stabbing her heart. Even if those were the words of a coward, a weakling, she needed to swallow her pride just this time in order to get her revenge.
Lost in her thoughts while slowly walking through the dark corridors, she suddenly felt an arm reach out from one of the cells, grabbing her in a neck-lock position.
"What do we have here?, you're gonna free me from this wretched place, you hear?.- Said a male with a high-pitched voice like a lunatic, probably caused by the long time he spent locked up in here, slowly losing his sanity.
"It will be my pleasure"- She angrily growled.
If Baraka was a dog before her then these shattered souls locked in here were mere ants. She easily grabbed him on the wrist and released herself from the locking of the unfortunate prisoner who dared to touch her.
"ARGHHH"- He screamed at the pain he was feeling in his wrist.
She started applying pressure, with gradually more force until she started hearing bones cracking from his wrist. Annoyed by the loud screams that wouldn't let her hear the stimulating sound of bones being shattered, she turned around and dug her fingernails into his throat, stopping him from making any more sounds. Even though it was dark, the lunatic could see those bright orange dragon-like eyes clear as day, he was petrified by fear seeing her look into his soul.
"Consider yourself lucky that I don't want your putrefied meat, insolent vermin. As the benevolent empress that I am, I shall grant you your wish. So go, I free you from this wretched place."- She said with an angry tone at him.
Before he could even process what she just told him, she applied a bit more pressure at her grip, causing him to collapse down on the ground on his back with a gap on his neck, leaving the former empress with his throat in her hands. She threw it at his corpse and watched as the other prisoners in the cell dragged his body further in to start eating him.
"Pathetic worms, making me waste my precious time to play with you. Enjoy the meal your empress gave you and pray that you may never see me again."- She said annoyed.
Resuming her walking, this time she was more alert. Getting sneaked up by a prisoner is an insult on itself, she tried to walk carefully while using her ears to listen to any noise that wasn't her steps, she could hear the growling of the prisoners feasting on the lunatic, the screams of more people getting tortured, the crying of desperate souls in the distance but no tarkatan soldiers or any of the traitors working under Kotal.
"You..."- Said a voice from the other side of the wall.
The former empress quickly reacted to the noise and turned to look for its source. After seeing from where it came she slowly started making her way towards the cell. It was a woman, pretty young just like her. Even though the empresses body was thousands of years old, she still had the appearance of a young woman just entering adulthood. The female prisoner had long hair, black as coal. She was wearing a skirt just reaching above her knees, that of a peasant but something was odd about her, she gave a strong aura and her physique wasn't like any peasant. Before she could analyze her more, she came close to the cell door, grabbing the bars she looked into the former empresses eyes.
"I knew it was you, what are you doing here?."- She asked in a demanding manner.
Before she could ask more questions she felt fingernails dig in her throat, slowly applying more pressure.
"If you know who I am then you should also know that I do not tolerate insolence, specially coming from a simple peasant such as yourself."- She growled with an annoyed tone.
"When...I get out of here... I will make you...pay."- She managed to say while trying to release herself from the grip with both hands.
The former empress was shocked, not even her ruthless soldiers dared to speak to her in such a manner, let alone threaten her. They would have their heads off before they could finish their threat. Intrigued at this peasant's bravery, she gazed into her eyes.
"They say... that everyone who looks into your eyes...will be petrified with fear...and unable to do anything...until you allow them to... I think they are rather...charming."- She smiled while that last word left her mouth.
She was lying, the former empress could easily see the fear in those big, clear blue eyes of hers but there was something more to them. Fear mixed with anger, this piqued her interest even more.
She released her, instantly falling to her knees and starting to cough caused by the grip on her throat. The former empress took the cell's old and rusty lock and ripped it apart. Entering inside, the long black-haired woman instantly stood up and started to back off. Looking inside the cell the former empress could see the other prisoners in the darkness, with their hands covering their faces to not look at her. She kept walking towards the woman until she was cornered by the wall at the end of the cell. She put her hands up to the wall, next to her head to make sure she wouldn't run to the sides. She leaned in at her neck and started to smell her seductively. She could hear her breathing starting to increase. This pleased the former empress.
"You smell...delicious."- She kept inhaling her scent slowly.
The contact of the former empresses nose on her, sent shivers down her spine. She closed her eyes and focused on the contact, the slow inhale over her neck made her brain react, sending electric pulses all over her body, stimulating her. The former empress lowered one hand, going under her skirt she started to caress her thigh with the tip of her fingers, playing with her skin.
"Ahhh"- A soft, quiet and sensual moan escaped the long-haired woman's lips.
That sound incited the former empress, who now wanted more of it. She moved her hand to the inner part of her thigh, firmly grabbing it in her hand, digging her nails into her, making sure not to draw blood from the delicate and toned legs that she had.
"Mmmm"- She quickly bit her lower lip, moaning to herself in an attempt to not let any more sounds out of her mouth.
The nose on her neck inhaling her scent, the firm grab, the fingernails in her thigh all of these at the same time, sending immeasurable amounts of pleasure scattered throughout her entire body, creating goosebumps on every inch of her skin. Her heart was pounding against her chest so loudly that she could hear the echo of her own beating resonating in the cell. The former empress started running her fingers through her beautiful, long hair. At the corner of her eyes she could see that the long-haired woman had her eyes closed, she was biting her lower lip and breathing rapidly through her nose. Her skin was starting to feel very warm at the touch, even in this cold and dark place. Her hand left her inner thigh and with the nail from her index finger she slowly started to make its way upwards, tracing the curves on her body until reaching her face, running over her jawline, getting to her lips she put her thumb over them and started tracing the outwards part of her upper lip, going full circle through the bottom part, ending where she began. She finally looked her in the eyes. When the long-haired woman didn't feel any more contact on her body she opened her eyes to see what happened, only too meet the irresistible, petrifying gaze of the woman who was touching her. The former empress was staring into her eyes, analyzing all that she could. Not surprised at all, her clear blue eyes were engulfed with lust and desire. Craving for more, screaming for her touch, this made the former empress very happy and couldn't help but smile a bit.
"Tell me my child, what is your name?."- She seductively whispered into her ear while one of her hands was still playing with her hair.
Before she could answer, she felt a knot in her throat. She inhaled deeply, trying to not lose her composure, gulped and with a cracking voice said:
"Raven."
"Beautiful name my dear."- She smiled while taking small and innocent bites at her ear.
The gentle bites on her ear were pure bliss. Her body was twitching involuntarily at the feeling.
"Raven, why are you angry at me?."- She whispered, stopping with the bites she started breathing through he mouth, making sure to exhale slowly on her ear.
Raven could feel her legs loosing strength and starting to melt at the feeling of the hot air on her ear coming from the former empress.
"I...uhhh...you..."- She couldn't find any words, her mind wasn't her own anymore. She knew the fearsome, ruthless and cruel part of the former empress and mentally trained herself to face that side of her but no one said she had this irresistible seductive charming side as well. She definitely had a gorgeous body to look at, before giving herself completely into lust, she shook her head trying to clear her mind.
"What's wrong?, Raven, don't be shy."- She kept whispering while starting to gently lay kisses on her neck.
Raven closed her eyes again and started to give in, feeling her skin sweat, burning like she was standing in the middle of the desert. It took every drop of will she had left in her body to slide on the opposite side of where she was being kissed to create some distance between them. She opened her eyes and was back in the cold dungeon cell, heavily breathing through her mouth like she just had run a marathon she tried to get a hold of herself. The former empress kept smiling while looking at her in the eyes.
"Raven, you seem to be at a loss of air. Let me help you."- She kept talking low almost whispering with her seductive tone.
"No...I'm fine...Just...Just don't come closer."- She managed to say in between the gasps for air.
"What I wanted to say was that I got locked up in here by your soldiers. Trying to defend my village that was being attacked for no reason I was knocked out and when I woke up, I was locked in here, left to rot because of you."- She pointed at the former empress, her angry tone coming back to her.
"You couldn't stand against my soldiers and you dare to threaten me?, if nothing else I shall commend you for your bravery, Raven."- Her charming voice was fading away, letting the angry growl come to the surface while slowly walking to her again.
"Words don't mean anything if you don't have the power to back them up."- The former empress was now angry.
"I don't believe your story Raven, while it is true that I order raids on villages, there is a strict rule to follow. I allow the tarkatans to feast on peasants, however young females shall not be harmed. They are to be brought back to me, so that we can- she started eyeing her from her legs going upwards tracing her curves with her eyes until meeting hers- have fun."- She grinned.
Cornered again, she looked at her once again, this time there was no more playing around in her eyes, the former empresses eyes were full of blood-lust, Raven saw that and wouldn't dare to try her luck keeping this up.
"So, I will only ask this once. Who are you, Raven?."
She tried to think of something but nothing came to her mind, she had lost to her charm and now that mistake got her caught.
"I... I'm an assassin."- She truthfully said.
"Who is your target?."- She asked, now with her guard up. In her weak condition a trained assassin could be a thorn in her escape from here.
"You, the Empress of Outworld."
"Lies!"- She hissed while grabbing her throat and pushing her against the wall- "If I was your target you would have attacked me the moment I set foot in this cell. Surely an assassin can tell when its target is weak, don't you agree?, why didn't you attack me?.- She demanded while applying more pressure to her gripping.
"I...don't...know."- She managed to say before almost going unconscious at the lack of air.
The former empress saw that she wasn't lying. She released her, falling down to her knees and started coughing.
"That is not the answer I was looking for, I am not pleased Raven."- Her tone was getting scarier and scarier.
In between coughs she said:
"I thought I could kill you easily, seeing that you were weak and approached me. You were walking towards your own death, or so I thought. When you started touching me I was completely lost, I gave into your touch and forgot about my mission. Your whispers in my ear, made my mind melt, I couldn't think straight. I lost all my thoughts and the only thing going through my mind was your voice, it was melting me away and I desired to hear more and more of it, I wanted you to keep doing it, no, I needed you to keep doing it, to keep touching me. That's why I didn't attack you."
The former empress for some strange reason felt good inside, she didn't know why but the things that the assassin said made her smile on the inside, still annoyed she said:
"This doesn't make sense, why would Kotal contract an assassin to kill me if I'm locked up here, right under his nose?."- She spoke her thoughts out loud.
"Maybe he didn't."- Raven interrupted her thoughts.
The former empress looked at Raven again, with a questioning look.
"When you contract an assassin you don't go personally, some assassins like to talk to their targets and maybe strike a deal to kill the one who hired them for a larger sum of money. To avoid that, you just need to know where to put a bag of gold with a name in it and a location, that is how I got your name. So maybe some one else wants you dead."
"I see, how did u get here then?."- The former empress asked.
"The paper that I got said, Former Empress of Outworld, locked in the dungeons beneath her castle. After that I went to a close village near your castle and disguised myself as a peasant, I saw some tarkatans and stumble on them, I punched one in his face and they dragged me here."
"Resourceful- The former empress said- What is your plan now?."
"I don't know, I've never failed a contract before but I can imagine that someone was eyeing me when I reached for the bag of gold, for the time being I will be fine but once whoever contracted me hears that you're still alive then they will probably target me with a different assassin."
The former empress knelt down next to Raven.
"As you may know, every one has betrayed me. They will pay with their lives, of that I'm sure, so join me Raven, as long as you follow me and do not commit the same mistake that they've made, I will set you free, together we will find out who is responsible for the contracts and we will feast on him."- She started licking her teeth at the thought of devouring that pathetic coward for hiring an assassin to do his dirty work.
"Uhhh, I don't like human meat but I do like the idea of killing the one who will put a mark over my head. Before you get any ideas let's make this clear, I will not be your subordinate. I will follow you but I will not let you order me around like one of your pets."
"Very well, I do not want mindless sheep following me around anymore. In order to get my revenge I need strong people who can think for themselves. Once we get out of here I will test your strength, if you are worthy then you can come with me. If not, then I will take you life right there so that you don't have to worry about assassins coming after you any longer."- She looked into Raven's eyes expecting to see fear but none of that was present.
"Good, the targets that underestimate me are always the easiest to kill."- She smiled looking straight into the former empresses eyes.
"You are hiding your fear quite well, Raven."- An annoyed tone appearing to the surface.
"Oh that?, that was all an act to make you feel like you had control over the situation, in reality you were full of openings for me to exploit."- She stood up and offered a hand to the former empress.
Feeling ridiculed she ignored it, got up and grabbed her by the throat again.
"You dare to mock me?, I should end you life right now."- Growling angrily at her.
"Oh please,- she easily grabbed her fingers and released herself from the grip- didn't I just say that the ones who underestimate me are the easiest targets?. Besides, in your current state you would have a very hard time fighting me. Not that you couldn't, even as weak as you are right now it would still be a tough battle for me. But..."- With a swift and quick motion she switched positions, now with the former empress against the wall Raven leaned in on her.
"I only faked the fear you saw in my eyes, nothing more. Like I said, those eyes of yours are very charming indeed, empress."
The way she whispered her title into her ear caused her brain to send electric pulses on various sensitive part of her body, stimulating them. The former empress was enjoying the sweet, hot breath coming in contact with her ear and the soft whispers coming from Raven's seductive and lovely voice.
"Mileena."- She replied.
"Hmmm?."- Raven purred into her ear while her hand was caressing her exposed belly. Tracing circles with her finger around her belly button.
"You may call me, Mileena."- She whispered back.
Raven's touching was starting to affect her, her skin was getting hotter and hotter by the minute. Her hand, made its way up to her tarkatan teeth, tracing them with her index finger.
Seeing how bold she was to go and mess with her sharp teeth, Mileena opened her mouth a bit to let Raven have an easier time inspecting her teeth.
She smiled and resumed running her finger over them. Once she got to the pointy edge, she applied just a bit of pressure, cutting the skin on her finger tip with ease.
"Ahhh, acute as the sharpest blade."- She whimpered playfully.
A small droplet of blood was forming at the top of her finger. Getting bigger and bigger, moments later the blood droplet couldn't support itself any longer and started to drop, running down the inner part of her finger. Grinning devilishly, she introduced her finger inside Mileena's mouth, very slowly sliding it out over the middle part of her tongue, letting the empress taste her blood.
"Mmmm, tasty."- The former empress thought to herself, not saying it out loud.
"I love your name Mileena, but wouldn't you prefer to be called empress?."- She said while looking in her eyes, slowly tracing her eyebrows with her fingers and running her hand through her short hair, playing with it.
"Both work well, Raven. Use them as you like."- She replied, allowing Raven's stimulating touch.
She was surprised that there was no mention of her increased body temperature, seeing at how gently she touched her, she would have sensed it.
"You're too kind, empress. I will keep that in mind."- As she finished saying that she started to stare into Mileena's eyes.
Her eyes changed again, Raven's eyes were burning with lust and desire once more. The thought of what was going through Raven's mind was making Mileena's skin ignite. As much as she wanted to give into Raven's perverted mind, this was not the time or place to do so.
"Raven, we need to get out of here, we don't have much time before they will notice that something's wrong."- She finally gathered herself and managed to say.
Raven sighed, trying to push those thoughts away and coming back to reality, with a displeased tone she said:
"Call me a bad assassin but I just planned how to get in here and kill you, not bothering how to get out once the task was done. I usually just improvise with what I have at my disposal, anyway let's get out of here first and walk around see if we can manage to find something. Can you follow or you need me to carry you, empress?."- She grinned while looking at the angry face of Mileena.
"You are playing with my patience Raven."- She growled in annoyance.
She stood up and awaited Raven's lead.
"Serious and formal as always empress, you're no fun."- she pouted while starting to lose herself again in her eyes.
"Raven"- Mileena snapped her again.
"Alright, alright."- She let out a defeated sigh while making her way towards the door.
Raven took the lead and opened the cell door, they both started walking carefully through the passages in complete darkness, relying only on their hearing senses. After a few minutes of walking they reached the end and now they had to decide either go left of right.
"Which way should we go?."- Raven whispered just in case some one was close by.
"If I knew the way to go I would have taken the lead"- Said Mileena annoyed.
"Isn't this your dungeon?, it's right beneath your own castle."- Raven asked.
"There was never anyone important enough locked in here, this was used just to punish disobedient soldiers and hold the food for them. So I never set foot in this plac-"
"Shhh"- Raven silenced her.
Both remained quiet for a few moments, some noise that resembled that of people talking in the far distance could be heard.
"This way"- Raven took off with Mileena behind her.
They steadily got closer until they were able to understand what that noise was.
"Yes, I told you. First we have to get out of this cell, then we need to-"
"Hold on, I think there's someone approaching."
They came close to the door to inspect the noise, their eyes fell upon Raven. Seeing that she was wearing peasant clothes relaxed them a bit.
"How did you get out?, who are you?, never mind that, you need to get us out of here."- Said a male voice.
"Shhh, don't be so loud you idiot."- Another male voice came from next to him.
"You're right, miss how did you get out of these cells?."
"Easily, my dear friend here got me out, she's a life saver."- She glanced at Mileena and winked at her.
Mileena was surprised at this gesture and didn't know why she enjoyed it. She raised her mask up before the two prisoners could get a better look at her.
"She can also get you two out but before that, would you mind telling us what were you talking about?."
"Uhhh yes, we know a way out of here."- One of them said.
"Really?, how?, this place is a maze. Specially with this lighting."- Raven asked curiously.
"When they dragged us here, I made sure to-"
"Don't tell them yet you fool. Listen miss before we tell you, we need to get out of this cell. You know, for trusting issues."
Raven glanced at the empress.
"This can be our way out Mileena, wanna give it a shot?."
Mileena couldn't stand needing help, specially from two peasants but this was their best chance of getting out of here. She nodded and went over to the lock on the cell door, grabbing and twisting it until it finally broke off.
"Whoa, we couldn't even budge that thing."- One of them praised her.
"You have our thanks miss,- said the other one- okay so here's the plan, we need to get a hold of a torch first."
"A torch?- asked Raven- what for?, we can travel without light with no problem."
"It's not about the light miss, my friend here didn't get knocked out like me when they dragged us here. He bit his own lip and started to spit blood on the floor at regular intervals until we ended up in this cell."
"So we just have to follow it backwards until we get to the exit."- Raven said, finishing his explanation.
"Exactly."
"Near my cell was a torch hanging on the wall, I will go get it, stay here."- Mileena intervened in the conversation.
"Okay, we will wait here for you."- One of them said.
After a few minutes of waiting they finally saw a light approaching them.
"Here, take the lead and search for the blood."- Mileena gave the torch away.
"Right away miss."
They slowly started walking again, when they reached a point with multiple pathways they stopped, they needed to examine the ground thoroughly, a simple mistake in this maze and you will be lost for days. They couldn't risk losing that much time. While both of them were examining the floor for the correct way to go, Raven took this moment to talk more to the empress.
"Mileena, are you alright?."- She asked with a bit of concern in her voice. Noticing that her condition got worse since they left the cell.
"Yes, though I don't know for how long. I need to rest."
"Hang in there. We will get out of here, just stay with me a little longer."
"Found it!."- Said one of the prisoners.
This got everyone's attention, rushing to him and inspecting the ground to see indeed a tiny pool of blood showing its this way.
"Good job, now let us continue."- Raven said.
More minutes later of steady walking they could finally see an exit, hanging the torch on the wall to not draw attention they slowly approached the end of this maze. The first thing they noticed was the time, it was night. Thanking their luck they got out and ran over to some barrels in the corner of the big court before any guards could spot them. Seeing tarkatans running into the dungeons minutes later made both Raven and Mileena realize that Kotal was suspecting something.
"Alright, see those stairs leading up to the castle's wall?.- Asked Raven pointing right at them.
"Yeah, that could be our exit but how are we gonna get past the guards?." - One of them asked.
"I will deal with them, just follow me and don't make a single noise, if we get spotted now, it's over."- Raven ordered.
She glanced at everyone, they all nodded in unison. Hugging the wall trying to use the darkness to their advantage they approached a guard who was near the stairs watching the court. Raven furiously grabbed his jaw from behind and broke his neck instantly before he could make any sound. Picking the body before it could collapse on the floor, she gently dragged it into the darkness where the rest were waiting.
"My god."- Whispered one of them.
"Shhh, we don't have time, let's go, now."- Raven ordered.
They all followed her upwards, now on the castle's wall they saw light coming from torches in a distant village.
"There!, we get there and we are free."- Said one of them pointing straight at the village.
"Yeah but, how are we gonna get down?, we can't jump from this height."- Replied his friend.
"We will keep going along the walls until we get on top of the gates, then we climb down over them."- Raven stated while taking the lead crouching near the walls to not get spotted, everyone followed her without saying anything.
"Ugh, if only any of these soldiers didn't have their weapons atached to their arms."- Raven sighed.
"I have a small sharp stone I made from a rock while I was in the cell, I planned to use it as a key for the lock."- He took it out and showed it to her.
"Perfect!, this will work just fine."- She grabbed it, now feeling a lot more safe with a weapon in her hands, she set her eyes onto her next target.
This time there were two tarkatans, talking to each other while watching the outer perimeter of the castle.
"Let's put your key to use."- She smiled.
Mileena was intrigued on how would she kill those two guards without alerting the others, she carefully examined the assassin that was supposed to kill her.
Raven took the sharp stone in her right palm and put her hand arching it backwards under her left arm, this helped her gain momentum. She threw the sharp stone with perfection, cutting the air and flawlessly hitting the targets throat, then she instantly vanished, leaving only a small black aura of her figure before vanishing in the air. She teleported in the middle of them, drawing the sharp stone out of his throat she spun around and dug it in the mouth of the other guard from underneath his jaw, finishing him off before he could even realize what just happened. She even went as far as to hold the two bodies before they collapsed and gently lay them on the ground to ensure not a single noise was made. Holding the sharp stone with her teeth she caught the eyes of Mileena who was looking at her very intrigued.
"I would love to know what's going through that head of yours, empress."- She thought to herself, making sure she kept her serious face on, even though she wanted to grin at how the empress was looking at her.
"How many surprises do you have up your sleeves Raven?." Mileena asked herself while processing what she just witness.
Raven just like herself has the ability to teleport. Now she truly wanted to know more about this assassin and couldn't help but show it in her eyes. Before the two prisoners could ask Mileena what happened, Raven signaled them to come, and they did so immediately.
"Okay, we can climb down over the gate, quickly we need to get out of here before some one sees the mess I've done."
"Alright, let's go."- He signaled his friend and both started climbing down.
When Mileena came close to her she couldn't resist anymore and smiled, staring into eyes while waiting for her to say something.
"Impressive, there's more to you than meets the eye."- She praised Raven.
"You have no idea empress."- She devilishly said while licking her lips, allowing Mileena to get down first.
Once everyone was down, they started to run for the village, Raven was walking backwards still watching the castle to make sure no one could spot them. When they had a fair distance and felt safe, she turned around and started to run, catching up with them at the entrance of the village.
"Miss, you have our sincere thanks, we wouldn't have made it out without your help"- They both bowed their heads.
"Stay low and don't get caught again, I won't be there the next time."
"Yes, that's what we had planned. May fortune shine upon your journey."- With that they both went inside the village.
Raven wanted to turn around when Mileena almost fell to the ground, luckily Raven caught her.
"Whoa, easy there empress, we are finally free. Let's go rest."- She helped Mileena walk while supporting her.
They reached a small house on the far side of the village.
"This is where I stayed, planing how to get inside the dungeon."- Raven explained.
Once inside she took Mileena to the bedroom and laid her on the bed.
"Be right back, I need to get some water."
Raven went outside and walked to the middle of the village where they had a fountain with drinkable water. She grabbed a bucket, filled it and returned home. After washing her face and drinking some water she went over to check on the empress.
"Dead asleep are we?." - She whispered, sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her and moving her hand to her face, caressing it gently.
"What have I gotten myself into?, teaming up with the person I was paid to kill, some assassin I am huh?. I don't know why I agreed on your offer, I could have escaped that dungeon easily by myself, but I decided to join you. I will stay with you until I find the answer I'm looking for."- Her hand moved to her mouth, gently taking down her mask.
"There, way better. Don't you think?."- She smiled looking at the sleeping empress.
"Well there's only one bed in here and I haven't got a good sleep in a long time, so hope you don't mind sharing."- Raven said, hopping into bed next to her.
Even though the bed was big enough for two, she crawled next to her and rested her head over Mileena's shoulder.
"I know you don't"- She whispered again while smiling.
Closing her eyes, she felt the soothing rhythm of the empresses breathing, her head moving up and down caused by the inhale and exhale, slowly relaxing her before she drifted off.
