Lucy paced back and forth in her room, very annoyed.
"So, that wasn't fun." Junior said, still acting as a sling for Lucy.
"I don't want to hear it." Lucy said.
"Hey, you didn't get used as gum... for free!" Junior said.
"I had my arm broken by that bitch and treated like a toy! You got off easy, Ms. No Bones!" Lucy shouted at her cousin.
"Oh, really? Hm, let's see, I am currently away from my ring, my home and my parents! So I can be the one holding your arm up!" Junior said, "You got treated like a toy? She referred to me as an IT!"
"At least you didn't have bones to break!" Lucy argued.
"Are you serious? I think I lost a tooth after she spat me out!" Junior argued back.
The door opened and Vaggie came in, looking annoyed as both of them shut up at that.
"H-Hi mom." Lucy said softly.
"Hello, sweetie." Vaggie said with a firm expression.
"I'm in trouble aren't I?" Lucy asked.
"Yep." Vaggie said.
"So, I'm off the hook?" Mammona asked with hope.
"Your parents are on the way, Junior." Vaggie said blankly.
"Oh fuck." Mammona said sadly.
"Yeah, I have a good feeling that you're going to be getting punished as well." Vaggie said before looking back ag her daughter. "Back to you, Lucy, you are grounded."
"Why? I just wanted to help find mom!" Lucy argued.
"Because you got yourself into danger and almost got killed! Not to mention pulling Mammona into this and having her become gummy sling right now!" Vaggie said with her hands in her hips.
"... I mean, this is better than being used for whatever that crazy bitch would use me for." Junior said.
"Ignoring that, I couldn't just sit back and do nothing when…when…when it was my fault mom was taken in the first place." Lucy said sadly, trying not to cry.
"Lucy, it wasn't your fault." Vaggie said with firm expression faltering.
"Yes it was!" Lucy said, letting some tears fall. "I couldn't stop Lilith from taking mom!"
"You couldn't have known how powerful Lilith was. Even as a former queen, her power would've been too much for any of us. Even me." Vaggie said.
"I still...I still should've done more." Lucy said, looking down.
Vague moved close and hugged her daughter.
"I know, we all say that in times of failure but you can't let that single question consume you and make you act recklessly." Vaggie said.
"... What if they hurt her?" Lucy asked.
"Then we'll fucking make them pay when we get our hands on them." Vaggie said woth a growl.
"…I still should've done more, mami. So PLEASE, let me be there to save mom." Lucy begged Vaggie as she hugged her tighter. "Please."
"Honey-"
"I can do it!" Lucy said, pulling back and pulling out her remaining pistol, "I still have one gun!"
"I know but it's not about that. You're still injured and rushing into a fight will only make it worse." Vaggie said as she pushed the gun down.
"I don't care." Lucy said.
"But I do. And you're not leaving this castle until that arm is fully healed." Vaggie said before holding up a finger. "And not healed magically. All natural."
Lucy didn't say anything, she just looked back to the ground as Vaggie let out a sigh.
"I know you don't like it." Vaggie said, "But I don't like the idea of burying you."
Vaggie gave her another hug before walked out of the room, leaving Lucy and Junior.
"...You're not going to listen, are you?" Junior asked as she looked up to Lucy.
"You've known me how long? You should know the answer." Lucy said as she wiped away her tears.
"And I'm going have to go along with this, aren't I?" Mammona asked.
"You're still my sling. So yes." Lucy said.
"Ugh, fine." Junior said with a groan.
'Now I'm wishing mom and dad get here faster to stop her!' Junior thought as Lucy pulled out her old plan from her bed and began making changes.
'This is going to work.' Lucy thought.
If it didn't, Lucy better pray to her grandfather she doesn't die for the second time in her life.
