Jenny smiled cruelly as she stabbed the terrified man in the stomach. She pulled out the knife and enjoyed watching him stumble backwards, trying futilely to stop the bleeding. When she tired of his antics, Jenny slit the man's throat and it felt so good.
She threw his corpse to the floor, looking over to where Vastra was watching with a grin. "All yours."
Jenny always knew there was something not quite right about herself. First it was insects, then it was the chickens Ma sometimes brought home. Her family never noticed she always volunteered eagerly for the job and her smile as she methodically killed and dismembered the chickens.
Her first human kill was too easy, a drunk homeless man already wasting away on the streets. She just needed to slit his throat and that was that. The blood on her hands felt almost as wonderful as watching the life fade from the man's eyes.
She remained discrete and chose the weak and dying as her victims. With diseases like consumption ravaging the city from time to time, Jenny had an almost unlimited supply. Still, she timed her kills so that the police would never notice.
She'd came to enjoy using the knife the most. A small incision at the jugular and her victim wouldn't scream anymore. Jenny tried other methods like rope and even her bare hands, but they took too long and were risky. No, knives were the way to go. If she ever needed to, she could always pretend to be the victim of an attack.
When her parents kicked her out for her other vice, it was a blessing as much as it was a curse. Now, she could kill without keeping to a schedule for her parents though she was on the streets. Still, no one would ever expect a matchgirl to be a killer.
Vastra finished her meal and disposed of the evidence with some advance tech. After cleaning the blood off, she walked over where Jenny was looking out for trouble. "Let's go, my dear."
Jenny nodded and they walked back home in the night, arms linked. "How'd you find him?"
"A bit tough, but quite tasty. We should bring the next one in alive."
"But it's your turn."
"I gain much by watching you, Jenny."
Vastra hissed in relief when the Doctor finally vanished in his blue box. Mammals were so easily fooled by their emotions. With the construction of the Underground, she was awaken and finally freed from her prison cell. Killing humans wasn't the same as murdering Silurians as their flesh gave in too easily but it was enjoyable all the same.
Then she became overconfident and the Doctor captured her. Thinking quickly on her feet, she said she was military and that she was enraged apes killed her Sisters. Vastra just left out the part she was dishonorably discharged and had been on a murdering spree for decades. It was only by dumb luck the Silurians finally caught her and threw her in jail. They had planned to execute her but then the whole moon crisis happened and here she was in a giant buffet of humans.
She just had to be more choosy for who she killed.
"Ma'am, how many times do I have to tell you, don't make such bloody mess here!"
Jenny fumed as she glared at the Silurian who was holding an arm. The murderer she ripped it off from was screaming though neither women paid any attention to him.
"Why'd you do that for? Now we have to kill him and Scotland Yard wanted him alive."
Vastra crossed her arms, the bloody limb in her arm flopping around. "He insulted you."
Jenny shrugged. "It wouldn't be the first time."
Vastra glared at the weeping man and smacked him on the head with his arm. "No, but this one can be punished for it."
The first time they met, Jenny was casually wiping her knife on her victim's coat. The Silurian was so intrigued that she decided not to kill the human. "You enjoyed that, didn't you."
The human jumped and brandished her knife at the Silurian, still cloaked by the shadow of the building. "He attacked me, it was self-defense."
Vastra laughed and shook her head. "Come now, we both know those are lies. Still, I have a proposal."
Jenny narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean?"
Vastra stepped into the light causing the girl to gasp. "You help me find the right kind of prey, and we'll be able to satiate our appetites."
The girl swallowed, pondering over the proposal.
"But Scotland Yard-"
"I'll deal with them. No one insults my mate and lives, especially not weak prey such as this." Vastra lifted her boot and brought it down on the man's other hand.
Jenny threw her hands in the air. "Fine fine, have at it. But no more limbs alright? It's a pain to clean up here."
The Silurian nodded, her grin turning vicious. "Agreed."
The duo gleefully sliced through the criminal underbelly of London. With all the blood money they gained, it was easy to establish their facades as respectable widow and maid. Scotland Yard tuned a blind eye since their rampant crime problem was being handled discreetly.
Vastra grew to appreciate Jenny and her sharp blade. The human admired the Silurian's wicked tongue. What was one more vice?
With her blood pumping and adrenaline running high after their joint kill, Vastra pressed Jenny against a wall. The Silurian paused, looking for approval. Jenny growled and yanked Vastra's head down closing the gap.
Jenny admired Vastra's handiwork and when the Silurian was done, quietly waited while the Silurian tasted the air with relish. Vastra didn't like to be disturbed for a few minutes right after a kill.
"Soft fat ape. It's a wonder how he lured so many weak mammals to his trap."
"He's rich."
"True. Now..." Vastra turned and grinned. "What say you and I continue this in our room? I'm quite hungry now..."
Jenny laughed and nodded.
Jenny knew she should be afraid of Silurian. She had seen Vastra easily kill men twice her size. But she just felt safe with the sleeping Silurian, a scaly arm flung over her waist.
Vastra gently ran her hand through the dozing human's hair. After all these years, she was still intrigued by its texture and feel. She never imagined this would be her life: a decent reputation, a nearly unlimited supply of prey, and a mate who shared her interests.
Vastra kissed her human on the head. Jenny grumbled and snuggled closer causing the Silurian to smile.
Life was perfect.
