Mistress Raven's Dungeon, Sunday Night

[trigons_child]

Mistress Raven was a little cranky tonight, both due to Merlin's failure to show up for his punishment and that hottie Hannibal being such a mama's boy. But at least she'd scored another appointment for tonight, and she'd take out that frustration on him. With a whip.


[For continuity (in my soap opera? It's less common than you think), Joan's visit is last of the night.]

Raven gasped. "Joan! What are you doing here?"

"R-R-Rachel?" Joan asked, staring at her leather-clad friend. "What are you... why are you... I..."

She realized that this was an extremely unholy place and did the sign of the cross before muttering a Hail Mary under her breath.

Seeing Joan here in her secret life shocked Rachel enough to drop out of the Mistress Raven persona. "It's...it's not what it looks like!" she stammered. "I mean...I...you were never supposed to see this." Oh the shame, the burning shame.

Finishing her fervent prayer, Joan closed her eyes, willing away the image of Rachel in black leather and the feelings that brought up inside her.

"What is it?"

"This is how I pay for school," Rachel said. "And...how I will pay for college. Please don't hate me. It was the only choice I could make."

"But... but... it's so wrong," Joan said, unable to tear her eyes away from the way the leather clung to Rachel's body.

"That is why I never wanted you and your innocent soul to know," Raven said, her cheeks red.

Joan took a hesitant step towards her friend. "You should have told me," she said, reaching out to touch Rachel's shoulder. "I would have tried to help you find another way to come up with the money."

"I didn't want to burden anyone else," Rachel said. "And you have so much to worry about with your evil twin's diabolical schemes."

"But you're my best friend," Joan said. "And I... care about you."

Funny thing was her hand was still on Rachel's shoulder.

[trigons_child]

"And I care about you, Joan," Raven said. "So very much. Please tell me you don't hate me for what I've done."

"I could never hate you," Joan assured her.

[trigons_child]

Raven let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you," she said. "I couldn't bear it if you hated me for...what I've become."

Joan hugged her tight, trying to ignore how her friend's body felt pressed against hers like that.

Rachel hugged her back. Joan smelled so nice. "You're my best friend," she said. "I love you."
