Her Competition || Lady Lesso

Her Torture

TW/CW: Torture, Knives, Awful Mental Health

"Lesso, wait!" Meredith rushed out after the red head, not prepared to make an argument at all.

Dot was already out of the castle and on the bridge in between the two schools. Lesso made her way out and Meredith caught up to her on the tail end.

"Dot! Get over here!" The deans loud raspy voice rang in the teacher's ears.

The girl was turned away from the two and didn't budge.

"Dot?" Meredith stood next to Lesso and watched the girl with confusion.

Dot still didn't budge.

"You better-" The raspy voice started to talk but got cut off by Dots usually timid voice.

"FUCK. OFF." Once again, she still hadn't faced the two but her body seemed to be shaking.

"Watch your language!" Meredith yelled out and it shocked the dean as she never had cared about that.

She chuckled. She laughed. She cackled.

"You'd like that wouldn't you?! Watch my language? Become good? Transfer to the Good school? Make up for my actions in there? Maybe Audrey would like me better. She seems to have a thing for those perfect prissy princesses!" Her voice had cracked multiple times and she was now facing the two teachers. Tears ran down her face. Lesso laughed as the girl was making no sense to her.

"Dot-" Meredith took a step forward but Dot stepped back further.

"No! Why can't I be enough? Why am I not enough for her? I seem to be enough for everyone else. I've tried my whole life to be the way everyone wants me to be! But I'm sick of trying to be 10 different people at once! You know why I did that in there?! Because Snow hasn't felt a day of this pain in her life. She's gotten all the peoples attention, she's beautiful, she's the daughter of one of the most famous princesses and princes in the world. The most pain she's felt is, her dress and shoes not matching or having a bad hair day! She's enough! Audreys enough! Everyone's enough! Except me."

The deans expression was hard. She didn't seem moved one bit. On the other hand, Meredith had tears rushing down her cheeks. The woman ran forward and held Dot in her embrace.

They both melted to the ground but the red head stood there staring.

"You are enough. You will always be enough." Meredith whispered into her ear. The girls sobs became even louder as her arms wrapped around Meredith.

After about 5 minutes of whispering and swaying with the dean just staring with a blank expression, they both stood up.

"Let's get you back and clean you up. I would also like you to apologize and then-"

"She's coming with me." Lessos hand had wrapped around the girls wrist and tugged her as they started walking away. Dot had fear but knew she deserved whatever was coming to her.

"What? No. Let me deal-"

Lesso turned to face the teacher and her eyes cut into her. Meredith swallowed with fear from the anger in her eyes.

As Lesso turned away again, the moonlight hit her cheek and the teacher could've sworn she saw tear marks along her cheek.

Meredith watched as they walked back into the school and gave a large sigh.

Seconds later, Audrey burst through the door.

"Where is she?! Where is Dot?!"

"No where that you need to know."

"Tell me. Please."

Her voice sounded so desperate but Meredith refused to let anyone else get hurt, unless it was by Lesso because she was not in the right space to try and stop that.

"I can't. Besides, she's getting what....she deserves." Meredith hated that phrase. She didn't believe any one deserved to get punished because of stupid mistake.

Audrey slowly nodded and then made her way over to the school for Good to see Snow.

Meredith sighed and headed back inside.

*Lessos pov*

Dot was now strapped up in the chair within the Doom Room. Her head hung low and was prepared for any punishment. She deserved it.

Lesso was running her hands over the huge supply of weapons hanging on the wall. She hovered over many of them but decided against it and moved on. Eventually, she had picked up a small dagger and slowly made her way over the girl.

She dragged it over the girls legs first, leaving small cuts here and there. Dot had not responded in anyway, not even a wince.

"Fine then. If that's how it is."

The redhead carefully lifted the girls head and dragged the tip of the knife along her cheek. Dots eyes had met Lessos but it almost looked as if they were lifeless.

"You are not making this fun for me."

More slowly, to cause the most pain, she pressed the knife into Dots chest and dragged it along. Still, not even a wince.

"What the fuck?" Lesso held up the girls head again and they locked eyes. All of the feeling had left Dots eyes. Lesso raised her hand and smacked the girl right across the face but there was no reaction.

"Jesus Christ. Just leave. I'm not going to torture you if you aren't going to make sounds." She began walking away to hang up the knife but the girl raised her head.

"No. Please. I deserve it."

"Ugh! Disgusting! You want it? That's even worse!" After putting back the knife, she untied the girl and walked away but the girl stayed right there.

Damn. She's really fucked up.

"Dot?" The girl looked at her. "You can leave." Dot hung her head low again and shook it. "Are you actually insane? Leave." No response. The woman sighed. "Fuck it."

Walking back over to the girl, she picked her up out of the chair and carried her to room 66, bridal style. At some point, she had fallen asleep in her arms, probably from the overwhelming emotional exhaustion.

"I know how you feel. Like you're enough for everyone but one person?" Lesso's mind drifted to Meredith's gorgeous smile. "But what can you do about it? Nothing." She whispered to Dot before placing her in front of the door and knocking to let her roommates know.

Lesso walked through the dark halls and her mind wandered off to somewhere that made her briefly smile.

I swear. JUST KISS ALREADY. Anyways, tough couple of days. Working 9-5 with 25 screaming 4-9 year olds. It's great. It's so fun. I'm totally not losing my mind slowly. So if this chapter isn't quite as good as the others it's because I am absolutely exhausted. But I really wanted to write the next chapter so here it is. As always, thoughts?
