we must hide our love

It fell like the whole world was holding its breath, waiting for the ice queen to give her decree. Whatever it may be Vi would follow her blindly, she wouldn't question it. But somewhere in the back of her mind she knew... She knew it would come down to killing children. Thus far the red woman had been able to avoid the task, none had ever before asked her to take the life of a child. Well... She had killed wolves before their first birthday before but only twice and Vi had been their age as well. The goddess had always preached that it was the betrayal that made the kills all the more sweet. To gain their friendship and then to destroy them in their most vulnerable time. Vi had mastered that skill at a young age, moulding herself to gain trust and then ripping it away just as she ripped out their arteries. Ky had never quite gotten it, never been as good with others as she. But he had also excelled in so many other tasks that she had not. And in the end he had been the one to continue the Sovari name rather then she. She was slightly bitter about this, though she had never wanted to destroy her body with child birth she had also wanted to raise some hellions of her own, to raise them in the ways of the goddess. To steal them away into the night and train them as she and her brother had been trained. Maybe she could simply adopt? Maybe Morphine would allow her to keep one of Desdemona's children, to punish her further by sending the child to kill its own mother? Only time would tell... The smile widened across her lips, pure joy evident at the thought of making the woman pay. She had ripped their family apart, she had ruined them, ran Tortuga to the ground. Vi's gaze would follow her queen's and her head would tip curiously though ears would remain attuned to the white woman. "I am yours my queen, to command as you wish." Words were a promise, just as Morphine's were. Though something akin to dread settled in the pit of her stomach there was an unwavering resolve in her tone. "Command me as you see fit, but perhaps you would be interested in a suggestion?" Devious mind churned as eyes turned back to meet the white woman. Would she take Vi seriously as an equal or command her as a pawn? Either way she would remain with the lady, forever loyal...
