Unknown POV

I can barely hear as we parked, the music is way too fucking loud for me to make out what the fuck is happening besides us stopping, and I only know that because I was just sent rolling all the way to the back of the cab. My head knocked against the back and I wanted to gasp at the pain. It hurt so fucking bad. Right now, sitting here in the back of this truck, is making me go crazy.

I finally hear something, the cracking of sticks and those two fuckers laughing before I can hear brush crackle to life. The cab lights up with an orange color and I see a shadow of a figure coming towards the cab. The door to it opens and the man that tricked me smiles at me, but all I do is glare.

"Aw, now sweetheart don't give me that look. It makes me feel bad."

I scream through the duct tape but he just laughs and drags a small ice chest out the door with him, locking the same door when he's done. I start to cry again, listening to them open their beers and talk like everything's right with the world. But everything's not right. Where's the justice for this, what's happened to me? It's nowhere because this world is fucked up and there is no saving me.

I can feel my head leaking blood and that makes me cry harder. What if I die here? In the back of this cab? Guess it'd be better than getting gang raped in Mexico.

"Hi there little lady, what are you doing way out here?" I hear from outside.

A girl out here alone? No, she had to get away! I wish I could warn her, do something, but no I can't. I'm too tightly bound to be any help to her. I hear her giggle, that fake giggle I used to use to get men to pay for my drinks. What was she up to? I craned my neck and saw a tiny shadow in front of the large one that had tricked me.

"Well, you see I was trying to get to that gas station a few miles up the road when my truck broke down. Do you think you could give me a ride?" her voice is beautifully husky.

"I don't know, that's an awful lot of trouble for me…"

What the fuck is wrong with him? Why fuck with her, just attack her like you did me! But this girl…she'd up to something and I find myself afraid of her, even though I can't see her, only hear her.

"Please, I would do…anything for a ride."

She had to be crazy, or maybe she was just a slut. Like I had any room to judge.

I swear I could see my kidnappers smile through the cab. "Well I think we can work something out."

She girl jumped a little."Oh thank you, where you uh…wanna go to work out our deal?" she was bouncing her hip a little.

"Right this way."

They started to walk out of my vision and I fell down in the cab, worming my way to the door of the cab. What was going on? I had to know, I didn't want to see this girl get hurt. I cheered in victory to myself and looked around to the side of the truck I swore they went to. I could faintly see the girl, and what looked like a giant behind her. No!

The girl laughed like a maniac before she grabbed onto the man's neck, or something like that. "Thought you'd get to fuck me?" she seethed.

I cheered again; maybe there was some justice in this after all. I relished the stutters I heard come from him and laughed, too bad no one could hear me. The girl reached back and I saw the huge figure there hand her some stick. The man really started to stutter then and that only made me laugh more. I jumped when a loud thump came from above me, and looked up, seeing this girl crawling across the top of the cab, inching towards where the girl and the man were.

What the hell was going on? Was the girl really a part of a killer group? This was like a fucking movie, one I really didn't want to be a part of.

"Answer me boy!"

She was just fucking with him, and I have to admit it was pretty funny to listen to.

"No, we were going to just help you! Really!"

Stop that bullshit already, you're in a no win situation dude just tell the truth.

The girl pushed the guy back, laughing again. The girl on top of the truck crawled closer, getting ready to jump down, doing just that when the girl snorted. I couldn't see them on the ground, but I could hear my kidnapper coughing then a loud howl come from somewhere. It wasn't an animal, but a person and that scared the shit out of me.

What were my kidnappers? Were they even human?

"Can I do it?" I heard the girls husky voice ask.

Silence. That's the scary thing. I don't know what's going on and I'm starting to hyperventilate. I have to get this duct tape off of my mouth, so I start stabbing at it with my tongue, feeling the tape working its way off of my face, pulling a few hairs with it. Within seconds I get it off, but I'm worn out. Why didn't I think of that earlier? Damn I am such a ditz sometimes. I bend and started to tug the tape off and succeed.

I stay quiet, still trying to get control of my breathing as I watch this show unfold through the window of the truck front.

"You're Ellen Carmen." My kidnapper whispers from somewhere on the ground.

The girl, I guess Ellen swings the stick down, which I can now tell is not a stick after all but an axe. I hear a gurgle come from the ground and watch the girl jerk the axe back, wiping off the blood on her.

My vision is blurring…why? Why now do you choose to do this to me now, have me faint while I'm so close to getting saved? What if they don't check back here? I'll die back here. my eyes flutter close as I sink to the bottom of the cab, fighting to stay awake. No, not after all that just went down. You can't…

TEST VILLAGE

DIZZYS POV

I help Big Mama clean the strange girl, wiping her pretty face with a wet rag. Underneath all the dirt and blood and other things she was very pale, ivory splashed with freckles. It made me want to weep. I also helped dress her, putting her in a dirty lavender dress while Ruby was out back burning the stained clothes. It looked like her navel ring was infected so I insisted I clean that to the very curve of it. Didn't want her to have a giant hole in her stomach when she wakes up. Need her as calm as possible.

Truthfully I don't want to keep her, I wanted her dead. But you know what? I just couldn't bring myself to let her die. Something kept me from doing it. She was kidnapped by those evil men for some reason (of course I knew the reason, just not what possessed them) and it looked like she had been through hell. We left her in one of the spare rooms, tied by thick ropes to the bed posts. Didn't want he getting lose or hurting anyone.

I stared back at her with anger and sorrow, shutting the door behind me. I watched Lizard walk downstairs, giving me a nod of acknowledgement before he ventured downstairs. I could smell something delicious and wandered downstairs as well. Everyone was there, minus Big Brain, and ruby was eating so it had to be that food from earlier Big Mama was cooking. She hadn't let anyone eat it yet, convinced it wasn't perfect. Must have finished it. I took a chipped bowl and sat between Lizard and Pluto, taking in a spoon full of the mystery soup. It was delicious.

"What are we going to do with the girl?" Big Mama asked around her mouthful of soup.

Papa Jupiter looked up, thinking it through. "I do not know. I think we need a vote. All for keeping the girl?"

Pluto, Goggle, Big Mama, and Ruby raised their hands. I bit my tongue, not looking at Lizard for some reason; I didn't want to know what he wanted to do with the girl.

"All for getting rid of her? I don't think we need to guess Big Brains vote."

I heard Big Brain wheeze, "Damn right."

I raised my hand and snuck a peak at Lizard this time, seeing his hand raised. I mentally cheered, watching Cyst raise his own hand. I looked back to Papa.

"So five against four, the girl stays. Goggle you are her companion when she wakes up. You watch her and make sure she does not wonder off or do anything stupid. Dizzy, may I talk to you in the other room?"

I nodded and stood, following Papa into the room opposite Big Brains. We sat on the floral couch, his leg touching mine. I crossed my hands in my lap and looked at him expectantly.

"What is it Papa?"

Papa rubbed his beard, adjusted his coat. "I figured you of all of my family would have voted to keep the strange girl. You are the one that saved her correct? Bathed her and dressed her even. Why would you want to get rid of her?"

I cleared my throat, feeling queasy about finally saying something about my feelings, especially in front of Papa. "It's just because…well she is so beautiful. I fear Lizard…I fear he will…"

I was getting choked up, my throat feeling like a dozen cotton balls had been shoved down it. My lungs were struggling for air. I didn't realize how upset I would get thinking that someone that wasn't even mine would go to another. He wasn't anything to me, not a lover and hardly a friend. Why did I feel this way, like my body wanted to shut down picturing him with any other faceless girl? I shouldn't feel this way, it shouldn't be so painful.

"Dizzy…I understand. It is fine, I have seen the way you watch each other. I can just see everything you do to each other and know. I would claim him before it is too late though. If the strange girl takes a liking to Lizard there is nothing I can do for you."

I looked up at Papa with hopeful eyes, and asked the wrong question at the wrong time. "Why do you talk that way Papa?"

He blinked, but smiled in understanding. "Well, it is because my father was from a place across the sea where proper language is a must. He taught me from a young age to speak like he did."

"What about Big Mama? I noticed she talks the same way you do, normal."

"Well that is because Mama is not from here. She is from a place called Atlanta. She grew up there until she was about 25 and I caught her going through the desert on a drug run. She stayed when she saw the state of my small family."

I smiled at Papa and this new insight into his and Mamas past life. it wasn't much, but it helped me add pieces to a puzzle I will call 'Past Life'. I looked towards the door when I saw a small shadow flash over my thighs. It was Venus, rubbing her off centered eyes.

"I couldn't sleep," she mumbled.

I smiled at her this time and opened my arms to her, giggling when she wiggled into my arms, curling against my chest. I ran my fingers across her back and kissed her minty forehead. Mama keeps her babies squeaky clean. Well, the younger ones at least.

"Let me take her back to bed, you go get showered. I know you do not like being as dirt as you are."

I nodded and let him take his daughter, smiling to myself when he cooed to her lovingly. I stood and brushed off my legs for some reason, walking towards the kitchen. Lizard was still there, standing up so he could go to bed. I flew up the stairs as silently as I could, grabbing me a towel from the hallway cabinet as I went. I turned on the water and threw my clothes into the corner, cracking open the door to watch for Lizard.

When I saw him coming down the hallway I called his name so softly I barely heard it. But he heard it, pinpointing my face through the cracked door easily. I smiled and nudged the door open more, jumping into the shower. I could hear him enter the bathroom, hear the door click shut and smiled to myself, wetting my hair. I closed my eyes, pushing the water away from my face when I felt rough arms wrap around my waist.

I smiled, looking down, and turned my head to look at him. His marred mouth covered mine in a heated kiss, his tongued snaking towards mine to meet it at where our lips were connected, succeeding in heating up m body. It was war between our tongues, a heated, heart stomping war. I brushed my tongue across his teeth, finding them actually pretty smooth. I didn't know anyone here brushed their teeth.

He made me jump when his calloused hand reached down and hooked its thumb into the back of my knee, hiking my left leg to hook onto his hip. I held on for dear life, nearly melting when his longs fingers found my heated core. I threw my head back, careful of the hard wall, and let him attack my throat with his talented tongue and nipping teeth.

His fingers explored my core, making me moan out softly. I tangled my fingers in his hair, massaging his scalp as he worked his way deeper into me, finding that one spot I never wanted him to leave. I gasped out and knocked my head against the wall, not caring about the pain as he sent me over the edge. My legs quickly gained the consistency of jello.

If it hadn't have been for his hands holding into the bottom of the tub, useless. But he had better plans. He hooked his other thumb into the back of my other knew and pulled my leg up to his other hip, sliding into me in one swift motion. I bit his lip, not enough to cause any real pain, but enough to gain his attention. Our eyes met and he smirked, giving one slow, strong thrust that made me push up the wall. I gasped, holding onto him tightly.

I felt like I was teetering on the edge of falling and insanity.

I raked my nails up his back when he really got into it, forcing these waves over me I didn't understand but loved. I bucked against him, not letting him think he had all the power over me. I had some control here and I planned on using it.

I opened my mouth into a great big O, tilting my head back and letting my eyes roll back into my skull. It was waves again, pulling me under, taking me down to the ocean floor and smothering me into the sift sand. It was like I reached heaven, only not. I was in the shower, in the middle of the desert with a mutant sharing in my final ecstasy with Pluto grinning at me through the crack in the shower curtain.

I fell from grave pretty fucking hard and screamed like a banshee, hiding my face in Lizards chest. Lizard jumped and looked behind him, just to catch Pluto ducking away from the shower curtain. He howled and quickly, but strangely gently, pulled out of me before he took off out of the bathroom.

I used the wall as support panting heavily and started to finish my cleaning up of me. I could feel a warmth start to seep down my legs, a hell of a lot hotter than the water, and blushed, starting cleanup down there. I grinned the whole time. He was mine, Lizard was mine. And I was his. We were mated I guess. Like a pair of dogs. Once I was thoroughly satisfied with my cleaning process I started to rinse the conditioner from my hair, feeling thin arms snake around my waist like before and pull me against a chest I was familiar with now. I finished rinsing and wiped the water from my eyes, trying to look at Lizard. He didn't smiled, but I nipped at his jaw anyway, satisfied with myself.

His chest rumbled and I closed my eyes, leaning into him. "Where did Pluto go?"

"Chased 'im all the way ta Pa."

I chuckled and turned in his arms, pressing my hands flat against his chest, looking into his steel eyes. "You need to shower yourself."

"It'd mornin, I gonna go sleep."

He started to leave but I grabbed onto his wrist. "Oh no you don't mister."

He groaned like a kid and it made me chuckle, but I forced him into the subs of my shampoo. It was manly shampoo, you'd think I was pouring acid over his eyeballs. I played creepy guard and watched him shower, biting my lip ever so often. It was a delicious show, to me at least.

After a little coaxing and tasty nips from Lizard I smiled and joined him in bed, curling against his chest as I watched the sun start to burn over the horizon. I yawned, giving a small squeak before I closed my eyes. I sighed in satisfaction and held onto Lizards arms tightly.

I love you Lizard. I shouldn't, but I do. I actually love you. I never want to leave you. I never want to hurt you in any way. If someone or something took you from me I think…I think I'd give up on my life. I'd never be able to function right without you now that you got me attached to you.
