No POV

The woman silently crept through the dark hallway, careful not to get caught. She knew if someone found her, death would be the immediate outcome. Or worse... Much, much worse.

So with each step she held her breath and pulled the hood she wore farther down, keeping her face hidden from anyone who may pass. She was almost at her destination, just a few more feet and her mission was that much closer to being complete.

Finally, she reached the apartment door that read '259' and she inaudibly sighed. Almost done.

Next was the tricky part. Her hand shook as it reached out to grasp the door handle. Gently, ever so gently, she turned the knob and tested to see if the door was locked.

It would be an issue normally, but this woman was sure to come prepared. She had a small silver key in her sweat shirt pocket that she could use if necessary.

Thankfully, the door gave no issue and opened steadily.

She squeezed her body through the small crack and took a few steps into the apartment, testing the waters before carrying out what she came here for. She knew the dangers of coming here before she accepted this job. But she had her reasons. Nothing would stop her from completing this and doing exactly what was asked of her. And it was no simple job. No this was going to be difficult.

Where is he? That bastard! The woman's fists balled up in anger at the thought of that pink haired pig of a man and she had a new wave of determination wash through her. I'll finish this quickly!

Now she moved quickly. She closed the door enough that no one could see into the apartment but she didn't let it click, if she needed to get out in a hurry she didn't want to have to fumble with the door handle. A quick pull and the door would be open.

She walked around and looked at everything she passed, looking to see where Salamander was. She had information that Lucy's little girl had been staying here so he must be laying around here somewhere, the couch maybe? No.

In the back of the apartment, a faint light called to her. It was coming from the kitchen, so she followed it. It was probably unwise to go there, she knew this. Is he awake at this hour, eatin' or some shit?

But something deep in her belly told her that she was alright. So she proceeded to carefully walk toward the kitchen, her footsteps as silent as the night.

Once in the kitchen, the woman saw that the light above the stove was lit and there was a small note with a pen lying next to it. The note read, 'next door come knock when you wake up'

So that bastard's sleeping with that prostitute now? How disgusting. The woman snickered to herself, her confidence rising more after knowing he wasn't here. If he's sleeping at a completely different apartment with his door unlocked, he truly was an idiot. But this information was priceless.

And she knew exactly who to give it to.

Lucy POV

Ugh, mornin already... Always the first thought that runs through my head when I wake up. The sunlight was just barely comin' in through the blinds, but as always-one stream of light just had to make its way to my face.

This blinding light was already giving me a head ache, so I decided to roll over and try to get some more sleep. I slowly flipped my body the other way, careful not to wake Wendy who must be sleeping next to me. I closed my eyes again and moved my hand out to touch Wendy's hair.

She always comforts me, always curling up to me in the night and keeping me company during the day. Gosh, I wonder where I would be without her, Probably dead...

Wait... This isn't Wendy's hair. Its too short and it feels far too thick to be hers. Who the fuck is in my bed?

My eyes shot open and the breath rushed out of my lungs. My cute, blue haired 'daughter' was indeed not in my bed. Instead, there right in front of me, sleeping like a baby with a little drool running down from his mouth, and his pink hair standing up, and sleeping side ways with his arm under my pillow-was none other than Salamander..

"What. The actual. Fuck." I sneered then quickly covered my mouth with a hand. I needed to be quiet. I didn't want him to wake up, I didn't want him to see me staring at him, I didn't want to face him after last night.

Obviously, I failed miserably, because he started to stir and moved closer to me. I refused to breath, too scared to make a sound. Too scared to breath on the man who was now face to face with me.

His once peaceful face was now twisting and becoming distorted. He looked just about ready to cry.

The hand that I had clamped over my mouth was now-on it's own- reaching out slowly toward him. Just before my fingers brushed against his cheek, he mumbled, "D-dad!"

My eyes went wide and I quickly pulled my hand back against my chest. I can't believe I almost just touched him... Stupid Lucy! Stupid! Stupid! Stu-

"Dad...wh-where are you?" Salamander spoke louder this time, his voice was almost frantic. I might be mistaken, but it almost looks like he had a tear trapped in his eye lash that was ready to drip on the pillow.

A small cry escaped his lips and instantly his eyes snapped open and he looked right into my eyes. Neither of us spoke for a second. We just stared at one another, I'm sure I had a shocked expression on my face while he wore an almost playful smile. God he pisses me off.

"Goodmorn-"

"What the fuck are you doing!" I screamed before he could finish. Who sneaks into someone's bed and just acts normal?!

Salamander blinked few times before trying to explain, "Luce, I was sleeping-"

"I know that!" I screeched like a banshee. "I mean here- in my bed! Explain yourself!"

Salamander laughed like he didn't have a care in the world. What a dick... "I came over to see you last night and ended up falling asleep with you." He leaned up slightly, his elbow resting on the pillow and loomed over me. "Don't make that face, Luce," he purred as his other hand reached out to cup my face.

I shied back and whispered, "Get out."

He was taken back when he asked, "What?"

I cleared my throat and spoke clearer this time, "Ge-Get out! Who just walks into a woman's room and sleeps with her?! I'm pretty fuckin' sure that's illegal. So leave before I hurt you."

He looked down at me for a second, his face completely unreadable, before he just started laughing hysterically. He fell back down onto the bed and laid on his back as he struggled to gain his composure again. "Hu-hurt me?!" He breathlessly asked. "You hurt me? I love a good joke in the morning!" More laughing. "I-I can't breathe!" More laughing. "Don't-make me... laugh so much, Luce."

I sat myself up and grabbed the pillow out from under me. I slammed it into his face and yelled, "It's not a fuckin' joke Salamander. Get. Out!"

"Ow! Really, Luce? A pillow?" Salamander snickered to himself as he grabbed the pillow and yanked it from my grasp.

I raised my hand and quickly moved it to smack him in his face. It was an inch away from making contact when his hand shot out and his hand wrapped around my wrist.

"You're gonna have to try harder than that." He still teased.

I let a small growl out and I moved my body so my knees were against the mattress, holding me up. I yelled, "Let go of me, now!"

His smile grew and he looked up at me, "Why should I? What are you gonna do if I don't?"

I raised my free hand and made a fist and brought it down on his chest and screamed, "Let go, pervert!" Then raised my hand again and continuously punched him in the chest.

After the third or fourth punch, Salamander stopped laughing and pulled the arm he had a hold on. My body went slack and instantly I fell on top of him. My head was resting on his chest and he still held on my arms, his other arm quickly went around my body and he started to caress my back. I used my free hand to push myself up partially and I asked with shock evident in my voice, "What are you doing? Why?"

Salamander looked up at me and said, "Because I wanted to, why else?"

"Please.. just stop. I don't like when you act like this-"

"Like what?" Salamander asked innocently as his hand moved farther down my back. He was so close to touching my ass and I didn't like it one bit.

I quickly moved my eye sight from his and looked back toward his hand. I struggled to find my words as I watched his movements, "Like-like you don't hate me! You're suppose to... blame me. And I was... okay with that. So please.. just stop."

His hand stopped moving and I was scared I went too far for a second. He probably was just caught up in the moment and I ruined it again, kinda like last night. Last night... when I watched a friend die.. Right before my eyes while I stood there helpless..

Tears started to well in my eyes and I blinked them away. They must've fallen down on Salamander because his hand that was resting on my back shot out and he grabbed hold of my chin. "Luce... Please don't cry. I don't hate you."

I shook my head, I wanted to tell him that's not why I was crying. But i didn't trust my voice. I was scared that once I opened my mouth, it'd all just come rushing out. I'm sick of feeling weak. I can't cry anymore.

"Hey, please smile. I love seeing your smile, I don't want you to be upset."

More tears came, I can't handle this right now. Why is he being so damn nice?

"Luce, come here," Salamander spoke softly as he moved my face closer to his. I had no fight left. I just closed my eyes and decided to let him do as he liked with me. It wasn't that hard, it'd just have to be like my first time trickin' myself out. Just close my eyes and pretend I'm somewhere else. Sometime's I'd pretend I was with my Mom. Other's I'd like to pretend I was playing with Wendy back in the orphanage. Those are the only happy memories I could think of when I was

I was surprised to find that his lips never made contact with mine. Instead, my face was smooshed into his chest. He was... holding me. Tightly too, might I add. He let go of my wrist and wrapped one arm around across my back while his other hand held tightly onto my neck. I could feel his fingers just barely run up and into my hair, and it was so relaxing that I almost forgot who exactly it was that was holding me.

And to add onto this odd situation, Salamander quietly murmured, "Let it all out, I'm here for you. But once you've cried your heart out, please go back to the Lucy that punched me and always put a knife to everyone's necks. Go back to being the Luce that I fell for."

"Hu?" I instinctively questioned. That automatically stopped me from feeling some type of way. Because.. well what?! I lifted myself up again and looked down at him. "What... did you just say?"

Salamander moved his hand that was on my neck to my cheek and he whipped away a stray tear, his eyes the softest I've ever seen them and his hands the gentlest they've ever been toward me. "You heard me, Luce. I just realized this myself, but... well I love you."

"Wha-?" was all I could get out before he pulled me down to him and gently pressed his lips to mine. Our lips just stayed awkwardly pressed together for a second before his started to move. Not once did he try to go farther than that.

He would pull away slightly, then pull me down to him again and kiss me over and over again.
