★ 12 [Action || Accidental Video] Momma I'm coming home

The wind is lashing at the windows, rain pelting down and Bryant is slinking around the apartment whining. The video shows Lucy is sitting with her cheek against her window. She can't sleep depsite the fact that it's a bit after midnight.

She should have gone to Harry's before the rain got bad. At least she'd have company. She's almost asleep sitting up, her face smushed against the window when she hears it.

Lucy in the sky of diamonds, Sugar where are you?

"Momma?"

The voice with it's sugar southern lilt makes her sit straight up, all fatigue and boredom gone.

Lucy Baby Girl, I do believe I've gotten myself lost. The manner of places you manage to find yourself. Be a dear and come get me?

"Momma..." It's pouring outside but she can't leave her mother there. Not out in the rain. Out where it can be dangerous at night. "Alright. Stay put, Momma. I'll be there soon."

Maybe it's a gift from the city; a visit from her mother on Mother's Day. They've just gotten the timing off, the rain a bit wrong. It'll be alright once they're safe inside. Warm and dry.

She grabs a pair of worn jeans and pulls them on with the baggy concert tee shirt she wears to bed. She shoves her feet into canvas sneakers and heads out the door. Her device gets shoved in a pocket and the video blacks out.

The cold takes her by surprise. It was warm before this rain started. "Mom!" She yells into the wind.

Over here, Lucy

And she heads into the storm. She can't leave her mother out here.

[ooc:Going to send Lucy down into the Underground looking for her mother. Feel free to come upon her and even hurt her. Just no killing! rageiscute = my aim if you want to discuss hurting her. She is just human]

Okay now Lucy is beyond scared. There's no bravado left and why the hell does getting raped scare her more than being killed? The back of her head hits the wall and tears spring to her eyes, falling from her lashes and down her cheeks. She screams again, half scream, half sob.

She should have never told Harry she could function without talking to him.

The Master had been hurrying up from the moment he'd heard a faint and distant scream. Lucy. Giving up on tracking her device, he turned to relying entirely on his senses. The closer he got, the easier it was to pinpoint her smell and as for the screaming, well. That was definitely helping in terms of pathfinding. And relieving to an extent. As long as she continued to scream, it meant she was still alive.

He was close enough to hear words by the time Lucy screamed about her boyfriend, presumably him. Hm. Upgrade. And again, as long as she was rational enough for words, it meant he wasn't too late. He took a left, running forward and then another left, reaching the scene in time for...well fuck.

His first reaction was fury--how dare Rido take something that is his?!--but he managed to calm down and shape it into something manageable. Dealing with Rido is one of the most interesting games he plays, and this would be the most difficult challenge yet. Lucy was scared, besides, he couldn't let this go wrong.

"I hope not," he said in response to Rido's last murmured comment. His hearing really was quite good. He walked from the shadows to confront the vampire, a look of vague irritation on his face. "Put her down, please."

Well, that was annoying.

The Master's voice did cause Rido to pause, but he kept his little appetizer safely nestled in his embrace. Turning his head, he peered over his shoulder at the figure emerging from the darkness. "...... Go away, I'm busy right now. We can play later."

"Harry," she sobs but his arrival makes her struggle some more. Rido isn't giving her much room to do anything. "This Jackass thinks I want to date him."

She's trying, mostly for Harry's sake but the flippancy just isn't there even if the words are. She's still terrified.

There's no time to acknowledge Lucy. Not right now.

"You misunderstand me," he says to Rido, advancing to stand right beside the vampire and his prey. "Lucy is mine."

Likewise, Rido's attention was all for the Master. The girl was a thing to be consumed, nothing more. "Yours? Really."

He mulled the concept over in his mind, not quite fathoming why the Master would associate with a girl like this.

"... whatever for?"

Acknowledgment is for when there are other hot girls around and Lucy wants them to know Harry is with her. Right now Lucy just wants Harry to make this crazy guy let her go. Preferably before she ends up dead, raped or eaten. Not in that order.

"Because I look awesome in a wet tee shirt! Let me go!" Kicks aimed at Rido's groin.

She's still not worrying about being acknowledged. She's just talking to remind everyone hello she's still there. Wanting to be let go.

"It's not a contest, nor do I need to justify myself." The Master is managing to sound remarkably calm, his voice low. "The fact remains that Lucy is mine, yes. Please respect that and let her go."

His eyes darted to Lucy at her attempts to cause him 'harm'. In response he tightened his grip, adding his vampiric strength into the mix. "Stop it." It was a warning... one that if she pressed the issue, would become a reality.

Holding her gaze for a minute, he turned back at the Master's words. The Pureblood's brow rose, just as the smallest smile played about his lips. Holding Lucy to him with one arm, his other one reached out to brush his fingertips along the side of the Time Lord's face. "I'm upsetting you, aren't I~?"

Okay, what comes out of Lucy's mouth next is a flat out whimper. It hurts and she needs to use her lungs for breathing now not screaming.

The Master doesn't break eye contact, which he's been holding whenever he can.

"Irritating me, Lord Rido. I don't really see the point, frankly. I've never interfered with your affairs."

The Master was such an interesting man. He would have made an excellent vampire. It was something to consider~

Without a glance back at the girl in his arm, he let her slip unceremoniously from his grasp to the ground. The Pureblood's other hand slid around the back of the Time Lord's neck and he stepped in close enough to bite the man. "Now, how is it 'interfering'... when you don't label your toys properly~?"

Her first emotion was relief. She wasn't dead, raped or bitten. Her first was pain because OW. Breathing hurt but it was wonderful to be doing. Her wrist still made her cry. There were deep puncture wounds in it from Rido's nails and it was still seeping blood. Possibly she'd twisted her ankle when he'd dropped her and she'd hit her head again.

Words bubbled to her lips, anger and the urge to ream Rido out but she bit them off because she could make much more noise than a whimper. There was no use reminding Rido she was here and Harry hadn't forgotten. As things were, she'd just lie here, breathe, shiver and try to quell her silent sobs.

Good. He'd let Lucy go. On the other hand, agh agh agh! The Master let himself rage and panic quietly on the inside while he merely glanced casually at Rido outwardly.

"Labelling her? I'm sorry, does she not not smell enough like me? I'm hardly going to piss on her. What sort of labelling would you prefer I do in future?"

The Pureblood withdrew a few inches so he could look the Master in the eyes, but even so, he remained uncomfortably close. His hand he kept where it was, casually draped around the back of the other man's neck where he could feel the warm rush of blood underneath his flesh.

"Heheheh~ I wasn't paying attention to the smell of her skin." Rido ignored the temptation to bring his other hand up to his mouth so that he could lick her blood off of his fingers. It was a testament to how well he liked the Time Lord that he gave him that one small courtesy.

Tilting his head as if in thought, he shot the Master a devilish smile. "I know... how about you tell me who you're close to, and I'll see about not eating them~."

The smell comment has Lucy puzzled. She wasn't aware she smelled like anything except maybe Gardinas from her shower gel. As Harry and Rido talk, Lucy pulls her knees up to her chest and wraps her arms around them. She considers trying to slip away but she doesn't know where she is in the Underground or how to get home. She'd end up in the same sort of situation she'd just gotten out of. No one wants that. Well Rido might.

So she waits, desperately wants a scalding hot shower and something clean to wear. At this point, preferably something that smells like Harry. He may never get some of his shirts back again.

"What a very sensible solution," said the Master. "Perhaps we can have that conversation another time, when my girlfriend isn't going into a state of shock. You understand, she's only human." At this point, he isn't even blinking.

As disgusting as it was, the Master was right. The smile faded from Rido's face as he glanced back to watch the girl huddled on the ground behind him. "... why you'd care about such a fragile short lived thing is beyond me."

It was disappointing to think that the man beside him could have such an Achilles heel. "Is this a new weakness, or have I misjudged you..."

Oh he really is trying to push Lucy's buttons and if it weren't for the fact that she really is going into shock she might have responded. There is also the awareness that she doesn't know what's going on her between the Master and Rido. She does respond inone way though; with a withering glare as she scoots a bit more out of Rido's eyeline. She also shows that she's capable of good manners in tense situations plus she's not oblivious.

"Master, I'd like to go home now. Please."

The use of Harry's real name is more for Rido. They're playing a game here and Lucy is trying to catch up on the rules quickly. Apparently it's a game of rank and respect. She refuses to show Rido any but she knows the Master winning this game and getting her out alive might depend on showing the Master some respect.

Even now, the Master can't risk responding to Lucy properly. He nods at her and tries to think of a better way to make his next move, a different way to phrase it, but there isn't one. Oh well. Lucy is going to have to deal with this.

"There are certain things I own," he says, firmly but not rudely, "and I do not want them damaged or appropriated. I'm the Master and Lucy is mine. Surely I'm allowed to have some pride of ownership without being called weak for it."

Ownership was something the vampire king understood quite well. And if the girl was merely property, well then... that changed everything.

The corners of Rido's mouth curved as he gave a polite smile to the Time Lord, satisfied to know that the situation was nothing after all. "How 'rude' of me to insinuate such a thing~..."

His hand slid from the Master's neck, and he took a step back and turned to Lucy to survey the damage he'd caused. "Oh well. An easy mistake to make.... wandering down here unescorted... unintroduced."

Edited 2010-05-12 23:25 (UTC)

Oh the Master was going to have a lot to make up for. Bruises, calling her property. So much to make up for. As it is, Lucy stays quiet. She's not dumb. Sometimes she has to remind herself she's not dumb.

She'll wait until Harry decides to leave. And she wants to be carried. Damsel in distress style. Thanks.

Smiling back at Rido, the Master walked over to stand by Lucy. "Mistakes will happen, of course. I'm sure Lucy won't walk unescorted in the Underground ever again, will you, Lucy?" He put his hand gently on her head. "Lord Rido Kuran, Lucy Locke. Lucy, Lord Rido. Introduced. I don't expect this sort of thing will happen again, now."

From her position on the ground, the Pureblood forgave her lack of manners. If they met again, she could make up for it then...

"Lucy~." Nodding his head slightly, he smiled, savoring the signs of distress her body gave off. Perhaps there was something to this girl after all.

"... well, perhaps not this 'sort of thing'. But as long as she behaves herself, then I'll leave her be..." If the Master truly valued the girl, he would have to take responsibility for making sure that she knew what that meant.

The City was after all, such a small place. There was really nowhere that was out of reach as long as one remained here.

Lucy reaches up and takes the Master's hand. She pulls herself to her feet using him as leverage and leans against him. She doesn't mention that she wasn't here on purpose or that she thought she'd heard her mother. Instead she nods. "Yeah...I'll stick to the garden from now on."
