Stinging Notes - Piper

[Piper Wren]

"You will pay for that, Piper..."

When Iugo lifted her further off the floor, her choking became louder thanks to the increased pressure on her windpipe but she still struggled against him. Piper had seen the expression on his face when she had spat directly into it, he deserved every molecule of it. Iugo hadn’t been expecting it and that made it satisfying but her mind could not concentrate fully on her small victory, still suffering from lack of oxygen. Suddenly she was thrown down onto the ground with more force than she thought Iugo was capable of, pain exploded down her spine and in the back of her head at the sudden contact with the hard floor. The only positive was that he had released the pressure on her windpipe and she lay there, wheezing and gasping, unable to move.

But what came next was what pushed to the edge, Iugo throwing his cane aside and pinning her down with his own body, his hands either side of her head and his stronger knee between her legs. It all started flooding back, the position was almost exactly like back then. Panic shot through her, no, not again, she couldn’t cope with that again! It was all there in her eyes, for the first time since Iugo had stepped into the room…the right button was being pushed.


‘“No, please stop! Please!”

Robbie grew tired of listening to her pleas and clapped one hand over her mouth so her sobs were muffled. No one would hear her…His free hand dug hard into her right shoulder before he leaned down at bit down on the skin at the crook of her neck, Piper felt something warm trickle into the hollow of her collarbone but she couldn’t tell if it were spittle or her own warm blood.

"You aren't treating your master with much respect. What will all the other boogies think? Why would you do that to me? I have never ever done anything to deserve this sort of wrath. My little meatbag, why do you hate me so?"

The young woman’s breathing sped up as Iugo lowered himself on to her, she couldn’t take this, she couldn’t! Not again! Her hands clenched into white knuckled fists at her sides, her fingernails digging half moons into her palms before for the first time…she snapped.

“NO! Leave me alone!! You don’t have the right to touch me!”

[Doctor Nationis]

There it was. The fear she had kept inside for so long was bursting forth! The waves of panic washed over the doctor like a warm shower, refreshing. "Heh heh..." Iugo chuckled, watching the girl lose her composure, a hand cupping her cheek and forcing her to look at him. "Who will stop me?" He asked simply, an almost kind smile looking down at her. A sickly sweet smile. "Will Naelona come rushing in and rant at me until I decide my bleeding ears aren't worth it? Perhaps that strapping man Kristopher will come to your aid." An evil glint crossed his eyes.

A swift punch to her jaw connected, the hand quickly recovering and making her look back up at him. "Will Tristan Blackthorne save you?" Iugo hissed. "The man who stole you from me." The smile morphed into something twisted, the opening of his mouth going just beyond the point of looking human. "Just watch another living being try and take you, Piper. See them fall in the darkness and never return. You belong to me now. I care not what anyone says." Iugo's fingers moved to her mouth, fingers trying to pry between her teeth through her flesh."Open up, dearest," He cooed softly, the crazed smile plastered on his face.

Agony took this opportunity to scuttle across the floor and pick up Iugo's cane. This was something he could carry with little effort in two scrawny hands. Skirting around the two, it moved behind Loki, still not trusting the cat, and for good reason. The two sat and watched as the doctor took care of his patient.

"Who will stop me? Will Naelona come rushing in and rant at me until I decide my bleeding ears aren't worth it? Perhaps that strapping man Kristopher will come to your aid."

Piper couldn’t look at that sickly smile on Iugo’s face as he taunted her that no one was going to save her, she expected nothing less from Naelona…in a way she wouldn’t want Kris involved, he had been hurt enough without trying to help her. No one was going to come, Piper had to learn to accept that in these moments she was on her own. She could reach out and build bridges with as many people as she liked, but it wouldn’t change. When it came down to this, she would always be alone in it. That was a hard truth…but one she had known for a long time, getting others involved in this might hurt her friends and watching them hurt would be worse than nursing her own wounds.

Suddenly the punch in the side of her jaw connected and that side of her face exploded in pain, her head snapping to one side with the force of it and a sour, metallic taste spread across her tongue. Piper recognised it as blood and resisted the urge to gag. But none the less she fought and struggled beneath Iugo, being pinned like this was sending her memory flying back to that fateful night she ended up in Wonderland. What had happened to her, every detail as if it was only one night back rather than a year. Panic coursed through her and she could feel those hands on her again, no…she couldn’t go back there. Not again.

"Will Tristan Blackthorne save you? The man who stole you from me. Just watch another living being try and take you, Piper. See them fall in the darkness and never return. You belong to me now. I care not what anyone says."

No…Piper screwed her eyes shut, Tristan wouldn’t save her, Tristan was dead and he stole her from Iugo to give her a chance at actually surviving. The thought of belonging to Iugo passed through her like a sword, she would take her own life first if he tried to claim her. Rob him off the pleasure of squeezing the life out of her…that would get to him more than anything. But once again panic coursed through her when Iugo forced her lips open and she tried to turn her head, to struggle against him. A scream was desperately trying to get out but it died inside her throat.

Iugo allowed himself to be moved this way and that, as if she had a chance to survive. A chance to fight back. "It looks like I'm going to leave a mark..." Iugo lowered his face closer to her, his tongue tracing the cheek that had thought it had salvation from him. The long, purple mass then slithered back into his mouth, their eyes level. "Good." With another chuckle, Iugo moved in closer. His lips brushed Piper's gently for a moment, the same smile dominating his features. "Even if you escape, I did, or I am unable to see you," He whispered, lips touching every so often, his breath going into her mouth. "You will never forget me."

Iugo pressed his lips against Piper's, his tongue ravaging the inside of her mouth. Outwardly, Agony and Loki thought nothing of it, save it was strange that Iugo was kissing someone. A new sight. What made both of them uneasy was when they saw the side of Piper's cheek being pushed out by his tongue. His hands moved to her wrists, keeping her from moving anything but her lower half, but did she really want to move herself into him? That could send the wrong message.

"It looks like I'm going to leave a mark...Good. Even if you escape, I did, or I am unable to see you…You will never forget me."

Panic was growing in Piper, all her earlier self control was lost under a mist of fear. The feeling of Iugo’s tongue brushing her cheek made her cringe and still fight against his grip. She had to get away from him, feeling his breath on her skin was enough to bring back all those memories. The unwanted pressure of his body weighing her down, her breathing was ragged and uneven as she tried to get away from him. Her attempts may have been fruitless but she couldn’t give up! Piper couldn’t just lay there and let him do this to her…

When Iugo’s lips closed over Piper’s and that long, hideous tongue slipped inside her mouth. She gagged at the vile taste of him and bile rose in her throat…the breaking point was when he pinned down her arms so she couldn’t move. Having her mouth invaded, being held down. No! Not again! She couldn’t go through that again! Piper knew that she would rather die than go through that again, all the nightmares, not being able to wash off the feeling of hands on her body or the taste out of her mouth. Her legs felt frozen, she was terrified to move her lower body incase Iugo decided to take the unwanted kiss further. Disgust, fear and anger prompted her next action…she bit down on the long, purple tongue inside her mouth. Gagging fiercely at the taste of stale blood infecting her mouth.

Last time she couldn’t do this…last time she was powerless to defend herself in any way. This time she had taken the smallest chance to, hopefully it would do her even the smallest bit of good…

[Doctor Nationis]

Graaaaahh!

Iugo's mind reeled from the sudden pain, eyes opening wide. Phasing, he released himself from her teeth by sitting up, tongue still hanging out of his mouth. A hand cupped at his waist, catching his azure blood. His eyes kept on Piper, regaining his composure as soon as he had freed himself. The blood filled his hand quickly before he retracted his tongue, making a vacuum to try to replace sucking his own tongue. He held the hand over Piper's head before slowly letting it trickle down, getting in in her hair, on her face, over the licked spots of her cheeks, even some pooling around her eye, which she must've kept closed at this point.

"This is so familiar," Iugo whispered, his mouth dripping blood around them as he spoke. "Don't you remember Piper? the first day we met? I poured a fine cup of blood on you that day as well." He chuckled, the smile now a pleasant one, at least for him. "Taste me well, whore. This won't be the first time that blood will become apart of your diet." Waving to his familiars, they turned to leave the room.

"Until next time, you worthless waste of space," Iugo said calmly, before a crazed look came over his face and he roared, lunging down at Piper. Instead of biting her or ravaging her further, he phased through the floor, leaving her in a small puddle of the strange blue blood, on her face and in her mouth. His roared echoed for moments after he left, the room built to carry much more pleasant sounds.

Loki had bared it's fangs and chased Agony out, wanting a snack while the master was away. And now, Piper was alone, covered in her nightmare's blood and the taste of his tongue in her mouth.
