Summary: Scorpina schemes to get her son back.
Chapter 2
It was a shift in the air currents that alerted Camille to the presence in the room. Her head snapped up and she glared at the column. “I know you’re there.”
There was a sound of laughter before a figure stepped out from behind it. “It’s been a while.”
Camille froze as she recognized the female. “Scorpina.” The name sent a chill through her bones.
“Camille, what’s it been? Thirty-forty thousand years?”
She wasn’t fooled by the warmth she detected in Scorpina’s voice. It was fake. “I thought that you weren’t ever returning to earth? Especially after what happened to Rita. You two used to be friends as I recall.”
There was an icy silence between the two for a few moments where Scorpina just watched Camille. She held the woman’s gaze until Camille looked away, uncomfortably.
“I have some business here.” Scorpina glanced around the room. Gray and drab. This gave her a pause as she realized that it was bothering her. Spending so much time with her youngest daughter must have been affecting her more than she realized. Sorani was the most colorful, if somewhat obnoxious of the triplets. Shaking it off, she immediately zeroed in on the raised throne. “Interesting.” Her fingers traced over the intricately designed metal. “Is this yours?” Somehow she doubted it.
“No.” She eyed the hybrid, who seemed content in examining the chair for the moment. “It belongs to Dai Shi.”
“Ahh…” Scorpina smirked. “I should have known. Still following the man around like a baby Charna I see.” She watched for a reaction and slipped onto the throne.
Camille bristled. “I am Dai Shi’s most favored.”
“Of course. My apologies.” She mocked as she shifted around in the seat, frowning. “Not the most comfortable of chairs, is it?”
“May I enquire to your business here?” Camille asked her.
“I’m just visiting.”
“I was not aware Dai Shi was expecting anyone, much less you.”
“He’s not.” She waved off Camille’s curious look. “I didn’t originally come to earth to see him.”
“Then who--.”
Her question was cut off as the doors flew open and an angry man stomped into the room. “What is the meaning of this?” He growled out at Camille. “Who dares--.” Dai Shi turned to look at the woman who had dared to sit on his throne and stopped short. “Scorpina.”
“Dai Shi.” Scorpina greated the lion, taking in his new form. “What poor boy did you possess this time?”
“That is none of your business.”
Scorpina gave a disinterested look, leaning back. “You’re right.” A few more moments were taken as she tried to get comfortable. It was a foolhardy attempt, however. The chair didn’t seem to be cushioned at all. “How do you take this thing? It’s as hard as a rock?”
Dai Shi ignored her questions. “What is your business here?”
“Someone’s a little touchy. A little too long in that chest, maybe?” Scorpina smirked as he growled at her. Baiting him was far too easy.
Camille stepped up, trying to defuse the situation before it got too far. “My Lord, Scorpina came to Earth to visit.”
“Really?” That seemed to perk his interest. “Just who is it that you know on earth? Last I heard, your hate for humans killed any acquaintances you once had here.”
“Well, that and the fact that a few dozens of thousands of years tends to kill them off. Human’s have such pathetically short life spans.” Scorpina just smirked and leaned forward. “Though they do have their uses, which brings me as to why I came here. I want to offer my assistance.”
This started them both. They had worked with Scorpina only once before and the result had been bloody and glorious. A true work of art. It was Dai Shi who was the first to recover. “And what is it that you’d want in return?” He knew for a fact that she’d never do anything for someone else, unless there was something in it for herself.
She merely shrugged and stood up, her metal armor glinting in the light. “I just want something that I lost returned to me.” Scorpina approached the two, becoming aware of just how tall Dai Shi’s current host was. It was bad enough that her son made her feel short; she didn’t need it from this…this… poltergeist, as well.
“And what’ve lost that is so important?”
Scorpina turned and glanced at Camille. “My son.”
