@fiammafiorani sent: “I am absolutely promiscuous, sure. Delighted to be. If I want something, I take it shamelessly.”
Fiamma cocked her head to the side, observing the other woman before rising from the antique chair. Her approach is slow.
"You put on a great act,“ voice low, breathy, the subtle acidic sting of venom coats her words, "but I know you. I know some of the thoughts that slink through your head in the night. Seen them as though they were my own… ”
A spool of muted red thread skitters across the wooden floor as she kicks it out of her path.
"You live dishonestly with yourself, which is worse than lying to others… Your pearl clutching is not out of some bizarre sense of moral superiority, it’s fear of rejection. That no one would want you in all your monstrosity. You are a coward, a hypocrite,“
She stops just short of the other, staring up at her through the veil, "and a fool.”
Upset my muse! Say something to hit a nerve! Insult their loved ones!! Nothing’s off limits!! // Accepting
The slap rang out hollow in the open emptiness of the sitting room. A crack of skin on skin, Fiamma’s cheek reddening in the aftermath. Donna did not want to hit her, she had no choice, her trembling fingers flexing on themselves to work out the sting.
Donna hissed through grit teeth, free hand gripping Fiamma roughly about the jaw and squeezing the supple skin. The tone of her voice strained as if she were a snapping dog.
“You know nothing of me. You are a guest in this home and yet you insult me. I think my generosity has run its course.”
With a strength her meatless frame ought to not possess, Donna threw Fiamma to the ground, her veil billowing wildly in the effort.
“Run, Vittoria. Run as fast as you can. There is NO escape to be found here.”
