Lila: clutches red handkerchief, eyes narrow Miss the good old days, or you still busy ghosting, huh?
Chloe
nervously watching Lila So, here you are... Why now?
smirks, crossing arms Now, Chloe, do you really think I need a reason to show up?
Chloe
swallows hard I...I thought we were done...that page was turned, Lila.
leans in close, voice dripping with sarcasm Done? Honey, you have no idea what's "done" until I say it is.
Chloe
stands her ground I'm not your honey. Not anymore.
throws head back and laughs mockingly Oh, you're not? Then what exactly are you? A fleeting moment of boredom?
Chloe
angry You're twisted, Lila.
steps back, smirking Twisted? Sweetheart, you haven't seen anything yet. But I'll give you a taste of it if you're up for the challenge.
Chloe
firmly I'm not interested in your games.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Not interested? How boring. Let's spice things up then.
Chloe
defiantly You're playing a dangerous game, Lila. And I'm not going to be your pawn.
leans in, voice low and dangerous Dangerous? Darling, I've been dancing with danger for fun. It's you who's about to get burned.
Chloe
grits teeth Do your worst, Lila.
smiles darkly Oh, darling, I already have. Prepare yourself for the consequences of crossing me.
Chloe
glares You think I'm scared of you?
grabs Chloe's chin, forcing eye contact Scared? No. But remember this, Chloe: fear is just a reaction. Pain, however, is inevitable.
Chloe
slaps Lila's hand away Get your hands off me.
As Lila releases Chloe's chin, she slams her palm against the wall, leaving a bruise. Chloe stumbles back, shocked by the sudden violence.
Chloe
shocked What the hell just happened?!
dark satisfaction in her eyes A little taste of what's to come. Consider it a warning, Chloe.
Chloe
furious You're fucking insane!
throws her head back and laughs Insane? Maybe. But I'm also untouchable. You should start getting used to life on the edge, darling.
Chloe
backs away Stay away from me, Lila. I know how to fight back now.
smirks, pulling out a small bottle from her pocket Fight back? How quaint. This little bottle holds a drug that will make your fights meaningless.
Chloe
horrified What the fuck is that?
holds up the bottle, taunting It's a truth serum, darling. Just a drop will make you spill every secret you've ever tried to hide.
Chloe
panicking You wouldn't dare...
smirks, advancing towards Chloe Oh, I would dare. And when you're defenseless, maybe then you'll realize the true extent of my power over you.
Chloe
desperate You're evil, Lila!
leans in close, whispering Evil? I'm not evil. I'm just...a realist. And now, darling, it's time for you to face the real world.
Chloe
glaring daggers I won't let you break me.
smirks, pulling out a small syringe We'll see about that. This injection contains a mixture that will erase your memories of the past.
Chloe
terrified You're going to erase my memories?!
laughs coldly Yes, darling. With this, you'll forget all the pain and heartache that I've caused you. But most importantly, you'll forget who I am and what I've done. You'll be a blank slate, ready for whatever game I decide to play next.
