Putridum Regnum 1: Centuries (Homestuck AU)

Chapter Fourteen

Mindfang hopped off of her ship and onto Dualscar's. He was smirking at her from the wheel of his ship. She leaped up some stairs and pinned him against the wheel. He grinned at her and pulled her into a deep, violent kiss. They clawed at each other's arms growling lightly.

"Ya fuckin' prick," Dualscar whispered in her ear. Mindfang snorted, stepping back a bit. She was there strictly on business. "You asked for me?" Dualscar nodded, leaning on the wheel. "I wanted to know if ya got any more of them outfits you stole a while back? Me new pet needs another outfit."

Mindfang thought for a moment before deciding she didn't have any outfits left over from her raid of a highblood shop. "No, but I can get more," she said, placing a hand on her hip. "I'll need measurements." Dualscar nodded and yelled for 'Rosa'. A jade blood came running towards him, bowing as soon as she neared him. "Y-yes sir...?"

Dualscar smirked and grabbed one of her horns and pulled her up. "We need your measurements. Stand straight with your arms out." Her gaze met Mindfang's for a split second and Mindfang realized that this was Dolorosa, Carmine's mother. Dualscar slapped Dolorosa across the face when he saw that she had looked away from him. "Fuckin' strip too, ya stupid fuck."

Mindfang watched as Dolorosa undressed, revealing many bite marks and bruises as well as rope burns. The sadistic bitch, Mindfang thought. Dualscar was using Dolorosa as some caliginous partner. She was Dualscar's caliginous partner, not the jade blood. She looked at Dualscar and saw pleasure and pride in his eyes, challenging Mindfang.

"Go get a measuring tape you dumb fuck," Mindfang said to Dualscar, who nodded and disappeared down the set of stairs and into his cabin. Mindfang grinned, observing Dolorosa for a moment. She really was beautiful, both with and without makeup. There was a necklace bearing the symbol of Carmine. She must still be grieving, Mindfang thought.

Mindfang drew her sword and tossed the slave's clothes at her. Get onto my ship. The slave nodded and did not take long to escape Dualscar's ship. Mindfang sliced at Dualscar's anchor, cutting the chain. She quickly turned around and leaped onto her ship. She saw her fleets resting in the distance and decided to join them. "You! Get us out of here as fast as you can!"

Mindfang wasn't keen in running from a fight but she didn't want to wait around and give Dualscar a chance to take Dolorosa back.

The troll she ordered to get them away from Dualscar's ship was standing at the back of the ship. He let out a large surge of psionic powers and sent the ship flying towards her fleet. While a few lowbloods handled the ship, Mindfang slipped into the lower parts of her ship, bringing Dolorosa with her.

When they got to an empty cabin, Mindfang told Dolorosa to get dressed and get some rest. "Do whatever the fuck you want. Just don't mess around with anyone else's shit. Got it? Good." Mindfang didn't wait for a response and quickly left the room, thinking about what to do next. She knew Dualscar wouldn't attack - his fleet was at the Royal City port. He wouldn't dare.

She made it back to the main deck and then checked to see where Dualscar's ship was. He was sailing back towards port. She laughed, turning towards the wheel of her ship. One of the lowbloods was steering it. "Yer doing a great job," she said,
