Hey everyone! I'm back! I'm sorry for the loooonnnggggg wait, but here's the next chapter. My hiatus is officially over!
But I still don't know where I want to go with this in the long term.
Give me ideas? :3
Shego was in a world of pain.
No, that was an understatement.
More like a universe. And she WASN'T happy about it.
Right now, she was in the arms of some freaky chick she'd met just minutes ago, at Kim's request, being whisked away to who knows where, so that she would stay alive. For Kim.
Disobeying her captor, Shego opened her eyes a bit, and almost immediately became nauseated. They were moving. Fast. All around her, the world was just a blur. She couldn't make out any shapes, or places, just one dark, never-ending abyss. What a way to go. She frowned. Hadn't this woman promised to save her? When was that part coming?
As if being punished for her doubts, harsh coughs once again wracked Shego's now-fragile frame. Her body felt red-hot, and the icy touch of the girl's arms suddenly became a welcome sensation. She found herself trying to move so that she was touching more of the freezing skin, earning her a bemused smile, and raised eyebrow from her captor.
Shego felt as though she should have some sarcastic comment to make, but it was getting hard to think. And even harder to speak.
Her captor seemed to realize this as well, and and frowned, running faster.
Shego could feel her body beginning to go numb, the fire finally going out. She welcomed the release from the pain, but dreaded what it meant. She was about to die...
Fate had apparently decided to be a bitch tonight.
No sooner had the pain vanished, her captor came to an abrupt halt, jostling the girl in her arms, shooting fire anew through her nervous system. Shego groaned at the sensation, regardless of the pain the action brought on.
"Sorry, sorry..." the woman murmured, her voice sounded strained, lacking its musical quality from earlier.
Shego didn't respond, just closed her eyes, trying to focus on something, anything but her inevitable fate. 'Damnit!' she thought angrily, tears welling in her eyes once again, 'Karma really is a bitch.' She had lived her life as a criminal, and this was apparently how she was getting her punishment for it. 'Though the false hope of being saved was laying it on a little thick.' She clenched her jaw at the latest onslaught of pain, but this time, opened her eyes. If she was gonna go, she was gonna stare death in the face, not run scared. To her surprise, she found she was looking into violet eyes, just inches from her own. "What the hell?" her protest was weak, and came out more like a question.
The girl kneeling over her sighed, "This...is probably going to hurt," she admitted apologetically, "but, it's the only way to save you...so to speak." She gently repositioned Shego so that the green skinned woman was laying against her, her head near the woman's left shoulder, her left arm around the dying woman's waist, anchoring her in the position. Her other hand brushed the long black hair away from the woman's neck, and leaned over further. Shego could feel her cool breath on the skin of her neck, and was about the admonish the woman, but a sharp pain cut her off, paralyzing her. Her breath escaped her lungs in the form of a painful gasp, and she struggled to move, but she was stuck in the petite girl's vice-like grip.
The girl had her unnaturally sharp teeth embedded in Shego's neck, and was relishing the taste of the warm blood pouring into her mouth. She would have to stop soon, she knew that but for now...she closed her eyes, and enjoyed the sensation.
Eventually she pulled away, and surveyed the damage, looking down at the fragile woman laying on her lap. She licked the rest of the blood off of her lips, and sighed. Now she lowered her mouth to her own wrist, and bit down, feeling her teeth pierce the flesh, and watched as the deep red blood bubbled to the surface, leaving a red trail behind it as it ran down her arm. She repositioned the two of them once again, and raised her bleeding wrist towards the mouth of the green-skinned villainess. "Drink." She commanded softly.
Shego, who was feeling worse than ever after being drained of her blood, still managed a look of disgust, and attempted to push the girl's arm away from her face. Her stomach lurched at the idea of drinking blood. She'd done some crazy things, but that had never been one of them, and she wasn't about to add it to the list. "Not on your life," she managed to choke out, but her voice had lost it's edge. Her body felt cold, which she figured was from the blood loss, and at this point she was wishing she had stayed to die on the roof of that building...at least she would be with Kim...laying in her arms, instead of the arms of some freak who thought she was a vampire. "Please," speak of the devil. The girl's voice, sounding desperate, cut into her thoughts.
Though it took tremendous effort, Shego shifted her gaze to the girl. She looked so...vulnerable. "Please..." she repeated, softly, nearly begging. "It's the only way you'll live." When Shego just continued to stare, the girl sighed, "If you won't do it for yourself...do it for your little friend."
Shego cringed, her mind flying back to the rooftop...and Kim...Kim asking her to accept help, asking her to live. Telling her that she didn't want Shego to die...
"Why...?" She demanded, letting herself lean against the girl's torso, as it became increasingly hard to remain sitting on her own. Her surroundings were slowly slipping away, leaving her and the girl together in absolute darkness.
"You have great potential," her captor whispered softly, "it would all be wasted if you die now. You could do great things...you could live forever..." She trailed off, before she spoke again; she knew what she was about to say would be hitting below the belt. "You could see Kim again."

Because I am such a bitch, I'm leaving it there. For now.
Hopefully I didn't butcher this too badly. D:
I'm already working on the next chapter, so don't worry, I won't be pulling another vanishing act!
