Work Text:
It was like any other uneventful school day. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, everyone just went about the day regularly and how they usually would. A certain trio walks through the school corridors, chatting and conversing about anything that crosses their mind. “So… you got any plans after school today?” The girl with pink hair, Betty, asked the blue-haired female, Cloudy. The shorter hummed, a finger placed on her chin as she thought about their question before shaking her head. “Nope! Not really.”
Betty turned her head to the black-haired teen who walked alongside them. “What about you, Avril? Ya up to anything?” She asked, but only got a shrug in response from the girl instead.
Alright, so it seems that no one really had any plans after school today. Today was just another boring routine to follow, and Betty was getting a bit tired of it. “Something wrong, babe?” Betty heard her girlfriend ask her, looking up at her partner worriedly as she saw the disappointed expression that Betty wore. “Nothing, it's just… I wanna do something, y'know?” Betty started, turning their gaze to their lover and watching as she reacted with her eyebrows raised.
“Things have been boring lately and I wanna do something fun together!” The pink-haired girl turned her head away from Cloudy and drooped down to look at the floor beneath them as they walked. She heard the girls walking alongside her murmur, and despite how loud the halls were, she could tell that they agreed to her statement. She felt Cloudy wrap an arm around her shoulder, a bright smile adorning her face. “Well, why don’t we do something fun together after school!? We could go to an arcade!” Cloudy suggested, making Betty chuckle and flush despite how close they were despite their relationship already being established.
Avril shoves her hands in her pockets as she stands near the two lovers. “Or we could study at your place.” Avril suggested, earning a ‘hmph’ in response from Cloudy, her cheeks puffed and her hands resting on her hips as she looked at the emo girl with judgment. “I said something fun, Avril.”
“Huh.. I thought for sure you two would enjoy studying each other.” Avril smirks, her arms crossed as she watches the pair’s faces turn red at the implications of what she said. Cloudy stammered, struggling to come up with a comeback while Betty stood there, shocked and flustered. “W-Whatever! L-Let's just continue talking about.. what we were talking about earlier!” Cloudy stuttered out, taking a deep inhale before proceeding with their previous topic of conversation.
“I don't think we should go to the arcade. We usually never go there because Avril complains about how rigged and scammy the games are.” Betty explained, tilting her head to the side as she placed a hand on her hip.
“Hey! I don't do that all the time!” Avril said before making their thinking face. “Okay nevermind, yeah, I do that a lot.” Cloudy giggled at the admission before thinking about what else they could do. They already went to the mall 2 days ago so that's not an option either. Nothing interesting really happens at the park so they can't go there.
Suddenly, Cloudy felt a hand on her shoulder, waking her from her train of thoughts and looked up at who the hand belonged to. Avril goes behind the pair, both of her hands placed on each girl's shoulder. “I've got an idea, but I'm not allowed to say it here. So how about we meet at my place to talk about it? 5PM?” The teen suggested, waiting for the duo's response. Cloudy and Betty glanced at each other for a moment before giving each other and Avril a firm nod. They didn't really have many ideas anyway, so why not, right?
The group part ways, heading to their next classes, the thought of meeting up together at Avril's house straying not too far from their minds. By the time school ended, Cloudy and Betty got a notification from Avril that she would be heading home early to prepare for what they're about to do together. Which left the two on their own, causing a lot of flirting and teasing between the two partners while they hung out and waited until it was time to head over to Avril's place.
The two sat quietly in Betty's car, with Betty's attention on the road and Cloudy's was outside the window. The blue-haired gal hummed a tune similar to the one playing on the radio. “What do you think Avril's plan is?” Betty asked, their eyes staying focused on the road ahead of them while Cloudy turned her attention to her girlfriend. “Huh?”
“Maybe she's setting us up to study like she suggested before...”
“Pfft.. that'd be pretty lame of xem.” The pair chuckled at the thought of Avril setting them up, forcing them all to study like her suggestion earlier. “She did say she can't say it in public though, maybe she's secretly an assassin or plotting some kind of evil scheme and trusted us enough to be a part of it.”
“I doubt that.” Betty chuckled at Cloudy's ideas. Though it sounded possible, Betty seriously doubted those were the case. Avril was certainly an edgelord but they're not evil… Ignoring the fact that their mother is basically a horrific spider monster thing. However, that thing seemed anything but evil. Sure, she looked terrifying and was abnormally bigger than a spider should be, judging from the couple times she’s visited, she seemed like a lovely person to be around. “Anyways, we're almost there, so we're about to find out soon.”
And with that out of the way, Cloudy went back to looking out the window, watching as the world around passed by them and having her attention fully focusing on simple, little things such as birds flying in the distance or the shapes of clouds. And Betty continued to drive them to Avril's house, the vehicle's wheels taking them closer and closer to her place. By the time they'd arrived, it was already 5:02PM and Avril was waiting outside on the porch.
Betty parked her car and soon, Cloudy left the car, going over to happily greet Avril and converse with her while Betty locked her car, taking her time as she walked over to the girls who spoke about something she wasn't really paying much attention to. “So… what are we doing here aside from being invited over?” Betty asked, an eyebrow raised as Avril turned her heel and walked into the house. Cloudy and Betty followed behind her, with Betty being the one to lock the door behind them as they entered the house.
“I'm going to show you guys something that people would say is.. disturbing to say the least, so promise not to freak out when I show you, okay?” Avril said, making Cloudy and Betty glance at each other nervously and curiously before turning their gaze back to the messy-haired teen.
“No promises! But we'll try!” Cloudy smiled, placing her hands behind her back nervously as Avril nodded and… phased through a wall… Cloudy and Betty stared at the spot they last saw Avril in confusion before two arms came out of the wall, grabbing the pair by the collars of their shirt then dragging them in. Suddenly, the trio find themselves in a dark place. “Uhh… Guys?” Cloudy sounded visibly confused, as anyone would be in a situation like this.
“Where the heck are we?..” Betty mumbled.
“At least you two didn't freak out.”
“Well, my brain's going crazy right now so I'm not sure about ‘not freaking out’… Seriously though, what's going on?”
“Hello?” The trio heard an unfamiliar fourth voice in the room. Suddenly, the dark room is flooded by a dim light, illuminating the room enough for the trio to see who the fourth voice belonged to… “You've gotta be kidding me…” Betty muttered, pinching the bridge of their nose as they recognized the person. “Isn't that the girl who supports p*dophilia..?” Cloudy's face scrunches up to visible disgust and contempt. Why is she here? And why is she tied up? The cotton candy duo would soon find their questions answered by Avril xemself.
“Yeah. I kinda kidnapped her here.”
“Why?” Betty asked, her eyes remaining on Kris, her face expressing disdain.
“Isn't it obvious?”
“Avril, there's like tons of things we could do to her.” Cloudy stated, turning her gaze away from the girl.
“Exactly! We can do whatever we want with her. We can blow all our frustrations on this not-so-innocent victim and the best part is that no one would care enough if she was gone for days, weeks, or even months!”
“What about her family?”
“My mom and I ate them, don't worry.” Avril said, brushing off the question as if her answer was any normal… but it wasn't like Cloudy and Betty were either, as they couldn't give any less of a crap about Kris or her family, given that they were all shitty people. “Okay.. so what do we do first?” Cloudy asked as they all turned to the girl that was restrained to a chair in the middle of the room. Despite the girl's eyes being closed, they all could feel her gaze on them.
“Whatever we want, as long as it involves inflicting pain on her.” Avril says as she goes behind Kris and rests her hand on her shoulder, making the girl flinch in fear. There were already bruises and scars on Kris, so it was clear that Avril had already done xyr damage. As Betty opened her mouth to protest, from the corner of her eyes, she saw her girlfriend stretching.
“Alright, let me see what I can do.” Cloudy's face shifted to a smug grin as she tilted her head side to side, preparing her body to beat a kid. “Oh, and by the way, there are tools you can use in the corner. Feel free to use ‘em.” Avril said as she untied the girl's binds from the chair, but kept the ones restricting her arms from moving. Then Avril stepped away, giving a small nudge to Cloudy as a friendly gesture before disappearing into the wall again, doing whatever while she and Betty were in the basement beating up a kid.
Betty looked over to Kris, feeling pity for her as the girl whimpered in fear of the other two that remained in the room. Betty places a hand on Cloudy's shoulder, making her stop bouncing in excitement as she turns to her brooding lover. “What's wrong?” Cloudy asked, worried about her girlfriend.
“This.. feels wrong…” Betty gripped the hem of their skirt, her knuckles turning white at how harshly she gripped. Cloudy seemed to just shrug at that and smiled at her. “Maybe, but it's justified! I mean, she likes p*dophilia and is a n*crophile herself!”
“I know, darling. But it still doesn't feel right.”
“Hey…” Betty felt an arm around her waist, holding her in a loving and caring manner. They look over to Cloudy, making their cheeks flush as they see the soft smile on her face. “You don't have to take part in this if you don't want to.” Cloudy held her lover's hand, her thumb caressing the back of it gently as she leaned in to give Betty a kiss on the cheek before pulling away and walking over to Kris. Cloudy forces her off the chair and pushes her onto the ground, kicking and stomping on her until blood trickles down from her nose.
Betty simply watches from the side. Despite saying torturing a person is wrong earlier, she can't help but feel a sense of satisfaction upon seeing the pain and fear in Kris. Betty used to be a friend of hers, and the friendship only ended after 2 months due to how toxic Kris was and no matter how much Betty tried to convince her that the things she does and supports are wrong, Kris was too stubborn to listen. Now, she was getting a lesson of her own. A lesson that probably went on for days considering her current condition.
Cloudy left Kris’ side and for a moment, Kris thought the pain was over.. until Cloudy came back with a dagger in hand. “Get up. On your knees.” Cloudy demanded, and Kris obeyed without hesitation.. although only slowly due to the state she was in. Cloudy raised the sharp blade and brought it down, creating a new scar on the girl's face. Blood seeped out from Kris’ newly made wound as she whimpered, which made Betty shiver in satisfaction and delight. Seeing her ex-friend in this state… it made her feel powerful despite not being the one to inflict such punishments on her.
Betty felt tempted to join in, but she wasn't sure if she should. She didn't want to add more salt to Kris’ wound, even if she deserved it. Cloudy grinned sadistically at Kris’ pain, reaching out to feel Kris’ wound, making the girl flinch at the painful touch before turning her head away. Cloudy couldn't help but giggle, taking joy in Kris’ pain and terror. Eventually, Avril returned with a tray of chocolate muffins, to which Cloudy had to stop her torment on poor Kris and enjoy the muffins that Avril brought them.
“Did you guys notice something different about our punching bag yet?” Avril asked as she took another bite out of her muffin. Cloudy looked back at Kris, staring at her and examining her every feature before realizing what it was. “Is it her bruises?”
“No.. Well actually, that's one thing but also I put a collar on her.”
Silence.
“Why did you decide to give her some fashion sense?” Cloudy asked, turning her head to Avril and raising an eyebrow about the new detail.
