[15 mins later...]
Wonder: [waited nervously for Abe. She had a feeling this was going to be bad]
Amanda: [came in, mumbling to herself abt her frustrations ovr the upcoming suitors ceremony, then looked up to see Wonder there n hesitated for a moment, before finally asking] Wat the hell r u doing here?
Wonder: {Stared wide-eyed at Amanda] Oh Shit...Abe told me to meet him here. [Then she heard the door locking]
Amanda: [heard the door on her end locked too] Shit on a handbasket, tht bastard... [tugged at the door n banged at it] Hey! HEY!! IT'S NOT FUNNY, ABE!! LET ME OUT!! Ugh, UNBELIEVABLE!! [kicked at the door]
Wonder: [looks away and started to mutter that Abe was going to pay when they get home]
Amanda: [grumbled as she grabbed a random chair in the hall n sat dwn with a huff, not facing Wonder n clammed her mouth, determined not to play along with Abe's farce]
Wonder: [looks away at the wall]
[outside the door]
Loathing: Well, They aren't killing eachother
Dazzle: But, they are not talking as well
Abe: Give them time. Wen it comes to awkward silence, Amanda can't stand it for too long. Just wait
[it was almost 15 mins of awkward silence btwn them before Amanda finally broke the ice]
Amanda: If u got something to say to me, just fucking say it, Wonder
Wonder: [slightly turns towards her, but says nothing]
Amanda: Abe put u up to this, didnt he? To get us to talk? Well then talk. I havent got all day
Wonder: [sighs] Not really...I was going to let you just hate me for rest of our lives. I desverve it. But...Abe thinks I should tell you my side. Which it is useless cause it still my fault ya know...But, he won't let us out until I do. Sooo...Do you remember when we first met?
Amanda: [raised her brow] Of course I remember wen we first met. Prolly the biggest mistake of my life. Dont tell me u dont remember?
Wonder: [makes a bitter laugh] The first memory I made with you was when I pick you up on that accursed planet. I was so nervous and happy I finally I got to meet you my best friend...[was quiet for a while then look up at the ceiling] I guess you want to how it is that possible? [sighs and went on explaning what happen to her like she did with Abe.] So, when you called I was watching one of the videos of your 10th birthday pool party. All my memories of the past has been erased and I was relearning them by watchig home videos. I wanted to meet you...We seems like the best of friends and I wanted that. So, when you called I was so excited. But, you are right...It was my fault what happen there. [bitterly laughs again] I guess I more guilty that the Wonder everyone knows is dead and there is just me you know...
Amanda: [took the quiet time to speak] Wait... U don't evn remember... We met wen we were in diapers! Dad brought us to ur dad's ship n u were all ovr me. Well, actually I was all ovr u coz Abe was stealing ur attention, dunno why the hell did I do tht, bt... [then hears her side of the story n faced her directly] Is...Is this some kind of joke? U... Ur not just saying tht to make me feel sorry for u, are u?? To make u the less guilty party in this??
Wonder: Nope...[quiet for a while again] I still go to therapy once every 6 to 8 weeks. I guess there is a small hope that I will actually remember and it isn't from home movies...But, they told me not to hope too much on that...[Quiet agian] I still go the that planet sometimes...Haven't gone since me and your bother hook up...But, I go there to relieve my self sometimes and go back to the days where only thing on my mind is just to surviving to the next day
Amanda: U mean...bk to the planet where u ended up becoming crazy? Why would u evn wanna go bk there? It's just gonna bring u bk bad memories, n being feral is so undignified... [hesitated a little] Bt at least its better than being fucked by the man of the day evry night... [sat bk dwn, her body slightly shaking at the memories of those nights, being tossed into the room, being forced into bed n allow those dirty old men to hv their way with her]
Wonder: [was silent for a while] Again I'm sorry it is my fault...And the reason for me going back...I guess it is because I never hated being there. Sure there was the consent danger, but I wasn't hurting anyone or living a lie that I'm okay...There was the appeal of letting go you know...
Amanda: Letting go...? [chuckled bitterly] The only way I would evr let go is if I were to completely destroy the person who gave me hell... [glared at her] Wen I heard Daddy n Uncle Hater wanting to blow up Venusian 9, I begged them to bring me along. I made Daddy let me be the one who pull the trigger with Uncle Hater's doomsday gun... Watching tht planet die, blown up into smithereens, now THAT was the best way to let go... [narrowed her teary eyes again] U got it good, Wonder. U live to survive another day. Me? I had to pray evryday tht there will not be any new bidders. Pray tht tonight will be the night tht I didnt hv to become someone's sex toy. Pray tht tonight will be the night I might be able to escape. Bt no. My prayers were nvr answered. The ancestors spirits of the nine galaxies were not there for me. I had to save myself, n tht's wen I shove tht curling iron deep into the throat of tht bastard who fucked me tht night... N it felt so good wen I managed to snag Don Trekken's gun wen he wasn't looking n wen I blew hole aftr hole thru his skull wen I shove tht gun into his mouth... U hv no idea... No idea how good tht felt... No idea... [broke dwn into tears finally as she sobbed openly]
Wonder: [starts sobbibg] I'm sorry...
Amanda: NO! U don't get to be sorry!! U don't get to tell me ur sob story n expect me to forgive u n feel sorry for u! I was the future Empress of Skeletor-Marina, n I was being used like someone worse than a common whore!! Did u knw tht aftr u picked me up n the doctors examined me, I was PREGNANT?? Yeah, tht's right!! During my 3 mths of being a fugitive, I was apparently carrying a child of one of those bastard tht had raped me!! I was PREGNANT! AT 13!! Do u knw how HORRIBLE tht was for me at the age of 13, still barely trying to survive school n grooming to be the Empress of Skeletor-Marina?? N the sickest part is, I WANTED TO KEEP IT!! I was convinced tht the baby is innocent, tht I hv no right to take its life away! I wanted to keep it, bt Dad said I was too young to be a mother, n he said a dignified Empress should not carry a bastard child!! I had to abort the baby, and it hurts!! IT FUCKING HURTS!! Its like a part of me being torn out of me frm the inside!! DO YOU FUCKING HEAR ME?! [outright bawled as she fell to her knees]
Wonder: [was silent]
Amanda: I HATE U, I HATE U, I HATE U!! U RUINED MY LIFE!! FUCK!!! I... I hate u... [whimpered pathetically at the end n continued sobbing, sobbing like she was 13 again, sobbing like she was still a kid, still bk in her diapers, like she was not Empress Awesome, bt Amanda Awesome, the cute little girl she used to be]
Wonder: [hesiently place her hand on her sholder for comfort]
Amanda: [flinched at her touch at first, then just lunged forward n buried her face onto Wonder's bosom, n evn tho she was still whimpering tiny "I hate you", she clung onto Wonder for dear life, sobbing hard, letting all her pain n agony out thru her tears]
Wonder: [hugs back and started sobbing and kept on saying "I'm sorry!"]
[the two girls held each other n hugged n cried for almost 30 mins, letting evrything out before they both fell asleep out of sheer fatigue in each other's arms on the floor]
Loathing: Welp, [pats Abe's sholder] I guess I don't need to kill you [walks away]
Abe: [rolled his eyes, bt inwardly he felt a little relieved. Slowly unlocks the door n went in to carry Wonder] Hey, Daz. Mind helping my sis?
Dazzle: Uh...sure [was still kind of rattled that Wonder could not remember the first 13 years of her life]
Abe: [noticed her expression] Yeah, I knw how u feel, not remembering anything frm ur life for the past 13 yrs. Bt here's to hoping tht someday she will remember, tht it'll all come bk to her soon [carried her bk to her room, which remained pretty much the same due to her always travelling in space n not home much]
Dazzle: [just nodded and took Amanda to her room]
Wonder: [just nuzzled Abe as he carried her]
Abe: [settled her dwn in bed n tucked her in, stroking her hair] U did good, Wondy. I'm proud of u [kissed her forehead]
