Dancer
The Butcher and the Lamb
Mystique's story ACT I, scene 3
The dancer could feel her world shattering around her. Always, when things looked like they were about to work out and reach a happy ending--she was beaten down once more into the mud, into the mire, into the darkness from where she first came.
She wiped the tears off her face with he flannel long sleeve. She was--homeless now. She had been evicted. They had taken her money and kicked her out. All she had now was the clothes she had gathered and tossed in this bag. Her furniture, her dishes, everything she had worked hard to gather or buy was now lost. She cried again, she was lost. Lost at sea once more. Lost without an anchor, or a bed to sleep in.
She swallowed and shook her head. No, no she wasn't. Not anymore. She knew someone who would always pick her up. Somoene she could trust. She went to a pay comm and dialed in a familiar number.
"S-s---scarlet?" she said tentatively, "C-c-c-ccan you please come pick me up? I-," she dipped her head in shame, more tears flowing from her eyes, "I need you."
