we must hide our love

The red bitch had always been so careful with her emotions, so very careful to keep everything so far beneath the surface that those around her only saw what she wanted them to see. Morphine was the same way it seemed, quiet and reserved, withdrawn almost. Vi had always considered herself quite perceptive to others, able to read emotions so well. Often she mimed the emotions of others, matching herself to them to make them accept her or like her more. It was what she had done with Steren when she had first joined, it was what she had done to Kaien... But with Morphine it was different, there was something about her that made Vi want to follow her to the ends of the earth. But as the rage broke through the surface once more, rage directly focused on the white bitch who dared called herself queen of Tortuga. The white bitch who had ripped everything Vi had known from her. The white bitch who had dared banish Morphine. But like a tidal wave the rage came, swept over her and left. She was aware of Morphine's soft voice speaking her name. Vi couldn't deal with any weakness right now. They needed to plan... And plan they would. Morphine was stricken silent for a moment and Vi's sharp gaze zero'd in on her. She had done good, she didn't know how good but she knew she had brought Morphine something she desired. A deep sense of pride welled within her though her expression remained carefully neutral. And then Morphine spoke, her words settling heavily around them. Though her smile widened as Morphine spoke a dread settled over her. Vi would be more then happy to rip Desdemona's womb from her body or to destroy her mate but to kill a pup after it was born? She was uncertain, though you would never tell from the sadistic smirk growing upon her features. "Oh please my queen. Tell me whats going through that devious little mind of yours?" Her words were a murmur, a hushed tone but still she seemed to be begging. She wanted to know what was on Morphine's mind. What she wanted to do with this new information.
