Author: Tinadoll (aka Tina- That’s me!)
Setting: After BDM- No Wash or Book.
Rating: R to NC-17.
THIS CHAPTER IS NC-17. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Spoilers: Yes.
Author’s note: REPOST. Don’t remember if this chapter was Beta’d or not. I try to do the best I can editing by myself but you can do nice by just ignoring all the mistakes. Dong ma?
Additional Note- On a more serious note, as you have read before my character of Scorpion- Maria is the victim of rape. She has some very typical traumas that stem from that including being a loner, increased anger towards men, and hypersexualization. This occurs in a small percentage of victims, and I just wanted to highlight that.
Rape is not ok.
Chapter 13: Heeeeere’s Scorpion.
She walked out of the ship and immediately noticed how hot it was. The two Suns were blazing on the horizon and scorching the ground.
She tracked her way back to town but the heat got to her. She put her hair up and the top button of her vest to cool off but it didn’t work.
“Why did I wear this leather vest?” she pondered, to herself. She had only herself to blame for the heat.
She closed her eyes and the world around her started to change colors. The heat was starting to effect her judgment and would perhaps make her pass out in a matter of moments.
She thanked the heaves above for the shade of the trees that she was passing under.
She kept walking and on a hill above the path, she saw a white buffalo. Or she thought she saw it. The heat probably was playing tricks on her.
“Oh come on, the heat?? That’s what’s going to kill you?” said Jubal in her ear.
“No it won’t, ghost man,” she said, defiantly as she trekked the rest of the way to town as she heard Jubal laugh in the distance.
The town was a one-horse town, she had noticed this before but the afternoon suns made everyone skedaddle to the nearest shelter or watering hole.
And since there was only one bar, that’s where she went first.
