The next day Frank was so furious that no one left their rooms. All Frank did that morning was scream. You'd think he was right next to you he was so loud. He repeatedly yelled out threats and Rocky's name.
Riff Raff was in his layer, pacing. Thinking of clever ways to rid Frank off the face of the earth. In his mind, he thought of the most vile, gruesome ways to kill him. Riff Raff found the ideas laughable. He flopped on his bed and lay there all sprawled out. He closed his eyes and thought of his sister. He wanted to be with her now. He hoped that Frank wouldn't just barge right into their room and harm them. The thought made him cringe. Riff Raff made a heavy sigh. Slowly, he drifted to sleep.

Meanwhile, Columbia had just finished scaring Magenta with her story of Eddie and herself. In vivid detail.
Magenta lit a smoke, "Damn. I wish I could get some."
The girls were laying on a red futon in their room, laughing.
"Well, you could." Columbia smirked.
Magenta blinked in confusion.
"You could go out there and try to "calm" Frank. If you know what I mean." Columbia chuckled.
"No thanks. I'll pass." Magenta said, opening her lighter again.
"Well…what about Rocky or me?" Columbia crawled over top Magenta. She was being playful and tried to act sexy. It was hard for her to keep a straight face.
"As you know, Rocky is off limits and missing. And you," Magenta grabbed the collar of Columbia's pajamas and pulled her close enough to whisper in her ear, "Lack one of the things I desire right now."
The two of them started to laugh crazily and Columbia threw herself backward, landing softly on the mattress. The laughter subsided. Magenta opened her lighter again. Columbia sat up.
"What about Riff?" She suggested.
Magenta flicked her lighter shut. It was Columbia's turn to blink in a confused daze.
Her laugh was a nervous one, which Columbia didn't pick up, "Why would I fuck my own brother?"
Columbia smiled, "Yeah, he's probably the last one you'd fuck, eh?"
"Yeah…" Magenta still had her nervous laugh.
She blew the smoke that she sucked up from her cigarette and sighed. Columbia put a finger to her temple.
"Then, since you're so picky I guess you're not getting any sex for a while." Columbia concluded.
"Thanks." Magenta said sarcastically, tapping ashes off he cigarette.
"Hey, has Riff ever slept with anyone here?" Columbia asked out of the blue.
Magenta paused to think. She assumed that everyone in the castle fucked Frank. She never really knew if Riff Raff did, though.
"Frank is a possibility, though I doubt it." Magenta burnt out her cigarette in an ash tray.
"Yeah, Frank has to have everyone, though, doesn't he?" Columbia giggled.
Magenta cringed. Yes, Frank had to have everyone. If Frank wanted you, you'd have to accept. She put her hand over her face; she could still hear his laughter. Younger Frank's voice came to her mind.
"Thank your brother for this, my dear."
Her brother's voice rang out.
"Magenta!!"
"Yep, I remember my first time with Franky." Columbia broke Magenta's thought, "And, boy, he was like magic!"
Magenta lit another smoke.
Columbia continued, "After spending time with Frank I grew attached and was thrilled every time he'd give me 'those eyes'. Soon after I…" Columbia sighed, "Fell in love."
Magenta glared. Who the hell would fall in love with that?
"I thought you loved Eddie." Magenta snorted.
"I do love him. I used to love Frank. I don't anymore." Columbia squeaked.
"What made you stop loving him?" Magenta asked with half interest.
"He rejected me in his own way. He knew how I felt for him and he started to ignore me. Then, he told me he was working on a new play thing and I became jealous. I was lonely for a while until Eddie came along."
Columbia started to blush, "He always sang to me, danced with me. And his sex was just as good as Frank's if not better!"
"You little fool." Magenta giggled.
Columbia stuck her tongue out. In return, Magenta blew smoke in her face, causing the poor girl to cough. They gave each other playful looks.
"So, have you ever been in love?" Columbia had to ask.
Magenta hesitated, "Once. If you even call a pre-teen crush love."
"Who? Who? Who?!" Columbia was excited to know.
"It was a boy named Tim. This was far before we were taken in be Frank. I remember that I was dating him for two weeks before our break up at the down town dance. Riff Raff didn't agree with me dating at the age of twelve, but I had a tendency of getting my way…"
I twirled around in my black skirt and stopped to adjust my collar on my dressy shirt. I looked down at my right shoulder, checking if my little black ribbon was still on. It was and I giggled. Tonight would be a great night! I had only been to two other dances before this, all of which I had no date. Only my brother and I. But, we had plenty of fun. Now, I had a boyfriend named Timmy. He was so cool.
"Sister, are you decent?" Riff Raff knocked at my door.
"Yes, come in!"
Riff Raff opened the door and smiled at me.
"You look very pretty, sister." Riff Raff walked up to me.
I poked his nose with my finger, "And you look very handsome, dear brother!"
It was true. Riff Raff always dressed up nicely. We hugged. After we let go, I tugged on his arm. "Come on, Riff! Let's go!"
Riff Raff let me lock arms with him the whole way to the dance. I starred in amazement at the lights and the people and the music. I saw Tim, waiting for me. I ran up to him and hugged him.
Tim noticed Riff Raff and stopped hugging me.
"Hello, Riff Raff." Tim greeted. I laughed at the fact that he was scared of my brother.
Riff gave him a death glare.
Tim gulped and I grabbed his hand.
"We're gonna go dance, okay?" I started to run off. I saw Riff nod.
After we danced for a while, Tim wanted to go see some of his buddies. So, I let him go. I stood by myself for a while. Then, I saw my brother walk over to me.
"Hi Brother!" I greeted.
He looked frustrated, "Magenta,"
"Yes?"
"Tim is…"
"Tim is?"
"With someone else."
I'm thrown. Why would Riff Raff say something like this?
I simply answer, "No he's not."
He sighed, "Yes. I saw him with a blonde girl."
"You're lying!" I snapped.
"I'm serious Magenta, he's-"
"Shut up!" I barked. Riff Raff looked shocked then glared at me.
"I told you that boy was no good…" Riff hissed.
What drove me to say these words was in-the-moment anger, "I hate you!"
I noticed before I turned around and stomped off that my word must have hurt him bad. It looked as if he was stabbed in the chest with a dagger. At the time, I kept storming off. Mad at him and at myself.
I was sitting outside at a table, my back turned from the people. Stupid Riff Raff. I sighed and took a drink of my soda. Suddenly, I heard Tim laughing with someone else. A girl. I swung around and sure enough, Tim was clung on to some blonde. He kissed her cheek numerous times and laughed. My brother was right.
I was so angry at myself. I grabbed my cup and marched over to Timmy. I tapped his shoulder and he gasped once he saw me. Before he could speak, I tossed the soda onto his face. Then the cup.
I turned and walked off. I ignored his curses and shouts he yelled to me.
I ran out of the dance's limits and sat on a bench next to a gorgeous fountain. I sobbed. I hated boys right now. Especially Timmy. Riff was right, I shouldn't have dated a guy I didn't know too well. Stupid me. Stupid, stupid me.
An unexpected voice called out to me, "Now, why is my little angel crying?"
My head shot back at my brother, standing by the fountain. The light reflecting off of the water made him look so attractive. It took me a short time to notice the white rose that he brought along for me. And he was smiling all the while.
"Oh, brother!" I raced to him and almost knocked him over because of my forceful embrace.
He stroked my hair as I sobbed into his shoulder.
"I'm so sorry, Brother!" I coughed.
"Calm down, now." Riff comforted me.
He took a step back to get a better look at my face; his hands were still on my shoulders. I tried to hide behind my red hair, but Riff Raff pulled it back gently. He propped my chin up and kissed my forehead.
He looked into my eyes, but I avoided his gaze. He grinned as if he had an idea.
He started to tap his foot, "It's astounding, time is fleeting…"
I blinked and looked back up at him. I knew this song.
He continued, "Madness, takes its toll…"
He guided me, still holding his gaze, onto the edge of the fountain, "But, listen closely."
"Not for very much longer." I joined in.
"I've got to…keep control…" After Riff finished that line we sung and danced to the Time Warp all over the fountain, the bench, the sidewalk, and the light post. It was the most fun I had all night. We elbow fucked, we pelvic trusted, we stepped to the right, we did it all! Our laughter and movements were demented and strange, but we couldn't care less. We danced the night away…
"Well, what do you expect? All little boys are stupid." Columbia snorted.
Magenta laughed lightly. "I wonder what my darling brother is doing now."
"No clue." Columbia said, reaching for Magenta's box of smokes. Magenta slapped her hand and Columbia stuck her tongue out. She stroked her own hurt hand and Magenta lit another smoke, giving her friend a taunting smile.

Riff Raff woke up from his nap and wandered down stairs, assuming it was safe now. Once Riff reached the Lab he staggered back at the sight of Rocky with Frank. Rocky was in a small tin tub getting his body washed by Frank. Rocky gasped once he noticed Riff Raff appear and Frank stood. Riff noticed all the dirt and mud scattered around the floor and Rocky. Frank started to walk over to Riff. He noticed something trailing behind Frank. Two whips. This made Riff back away.
"So, Riff Raff," Frank grinned an angry grin, "Rocky tells me you scared him away."
Riff felt his gut grew heavy.
"And when I found him, he was covered in mud and scratches!" Frank took one of the whips and snapped at Riff's jaw. Riff Raff gritted his teeth.
"He shouldn't have gone outside then." Riff Raff smiled.
Frank whipped his face again. Riff backed up faster.
"You shouldn't have been an ass!" Frank barked. He cracked the whip again, but this time Riff dodged it. This angered Frank more. Frank used his other whip this time. This whip was different, though. It was covered in tiny spikes, which could cause more pain. Riff Raff felt it scrap across his shoulder.
Riff smiled again, "I'm sorry I scared your play thing. You said you'd make him a man…well he is anything but manly."
The spiked whip hit the same shoulder. Riff made a quiet whimper.
"Don't you dare mock my greatest creation, you filth!" Frank pulled out a long chain. Riff gasped. He never saw that coming. Before he could react, it was already coiled around his neck. With a simple pull to the chain, Riff smacked to the ground.
Frank flipped Riff on his back and sat on his lap. Frank pulled the chain so the two could feel each other breathe. Breathing was something Riff wished would come easy for himself right now. But the chains were suffocating him, slowly but surly. His eyes have been closed because of his reaction to the pain. Frank jerked the chain.
"Open your eyes." Frank commanded.
Riff did nothing.
Frank jerked the chain harder, "Are you ignoring me? Open your damn eyes!"
Riff Raff decided not to be stubborn. He opened them half way, glaring at Frank.
Frank grinned, "Oh, yes, that's right! You hate chains don't you Riffy ol' boy!"
Riff Raff hissed. He hated chains, but not as much as he hated Frank-n-Furter.
Frank giggled, "Do you remember when you and your sister joined me?"
"Unfortunately." Riff choked.
"Your sister is really…beautiful." Frank said, licking his lips.
Riff found the energy to widen his eyes. Frank was instigating the fire.
"Oh, how I got her to scream!" Frank giggled.
"Cur!" Riff Raff coughed. Frank jerked the chain again.
Frank went on, "And such a wonderful, wonderful body!"
"Thief!" Riff hacked.
Frank pulled the chain tighter, "Thief? No, you gave her to me…"
Riff Raff couldn't hate Frank any more than he already was. Riff tried to speak, but the chain prevented him from speaking. This wasn't the only times that chains ever held him back. No, they've been a burden in his past as well.
The chains, they wouldn't budge! I felt like a trapped animal. I hate chains, I hate being restrained. I looked up into her eyes, now. They were filled with pain, fear, and dependency. She needed me, she needed her brother's help! But, I was too weak to help her. Damn these chains!
Frank let go of the chains, causing Riff to fall back down. He stood up and dug his 5 inch heel into Riff Raff's back. He howled in pain. Soon, Riff Raff was being brutally whipped by both whips. He was too weak to move. He felt his vision slowly starting to fade.
This couldn't be it. Not yet. He still wanted to give his sister her life back. He wanted to kiss her pale forehead once more, sing with her once more. He wanted to tell her his secret; he wanted to tell her he loved her. The boy had wanted to get her out of this living Hell and he'd be the on to save her, love her.
The lashes numbed Riff Raff's entire body.
He wouldn't let Frank win. Not this round, never again would he lose to this freakish creature.
Magenta…
Riff Raff blacked out.
