Work Text:
On a cold night, deep within the wetlands of the swampy forest, walks a girl, a foreigner who, in the short time since her arrival at Starr Park, has managed to attract the attention of so many people. Mina, she's not there by chance; the dancer is looking for someone, and that someone is Alli.
Alli caught Mina's attention. Not only does she have an exotic, alligator-like appearance, but she also has certain "peculiarities." To begin with, she's a stalker just like Colette, but Mina can perceive differences between the two. Colette is a very brazen stalker; she has no shame in following, taking photos, and even stealing the belongings of other brawlers to put in her scrapbook. Meanwhile, Alli is a more reserved stalker; she observes everyone from a distance and follows them cautiously, and when she is seen, one of the following scenarios occurs: she runs away as fast as possible, or awkwardly waves to the person, or even tries to justify herself by saying she didn't intend to follow them.
Mina ended up becoming a target of Alli's antics. At first, the dancer only heard rumors and warnings to be careful of two women who tended to stalk and were very dangerous. She had already met Colette in the most unpleasant way possible. Mina shudders when she remembers that wide smile full of sharp teeth and that gaze fixed on her with insane glee. Even after kicking her away, she continued smiling and insisting on getting closer. Later that same day, Ollie explained to her why Colette acted that way. Well, it wasn't exactly a concrete explanation, but he explained it based on rumors and what others said, and Mina knows very well that she shouldn't trust rumors one hundred percent. Still, it doesn't change the fact that Colette is a weirdo. She had also asked him if there were other crazy people like the white-haired woman, and he said that there are several strange people in Starr Park, but that there is one person who behaves similarly to Colette, and that's Alli. Ollie said he had never seen Alli in person, but he described her as a very tall and terrifying woman due to her alligator-like appearance.
Ironically, the day after that conversation, Mina met Alli in person. Just like her first encounter with Colette, this meeting with the alligator woman was not pleasant at all.
That day she was accompanying Ollie and his friends; they were going to meet three other friends of Ollie's who lived on the other side of Starr Park, so they took a train to get there faster. The dancer was having fun accompanying the children; it may not seem like it, but she loves children, being someone already used to taking care of them thanks to her younger siblings. However, as soon as they arrived at Adventure Land, she began to have the strange feeling that someone was watching them. She looked in all directions and didn't see anyone who could be stalking them. She tried to ignore it and pretend everything was fine so as not to worry Ollie and the other kids. However, while the youngs were distracted with some point-scoring game, Mina stayed behind, still observing the children from afar while keeping her guard up. The feeling of being watched intensified, and it was beginning to irritate her deeply. She heard a rustling in some bushes, and turning her head to the side, she saw two eyes with a sickly yellow hue. Besides the eyes, she could see that the thing had a snout and a yellowish-green color to its skin. It was also possible to see the front of a cap with an alligator theme, yellow goggles, and a pink snorkel. Even though she couldn't see her completely, Mina knew that this could only be the Alli that Ollie had mentioned to her. Even with a spark of fear, her anger surpassed that small fear; after all, this weirdo had been stalking her and the kids this whole time, and Mina wasn't going to let that go unpunished. So she made the angriest frown she could muster and lunged towards the bushes. This action may have startled the alligator, which quickly retreated into the bushes. When the dancer reached the bushes, she placed one hand on the ground, concentrated her energy in her legs, and kicked into the bushes. The force of the kick created a small gust of wind, but the fighter missed. Looking into the bushes, she found no trace of the stalker. She muttered a curse and glared angrily into the forest, as if she could find Alli if she concentrated hard enough. But she decided to let it go and return with the other children when she heard Ollie calling her. After that, she no longer had the feeling of being watched, and she didn't see the alligator again, but she was still somewhat paranoid about that first encounter.
And ever since then, Alli hasn't left her alone. Every now and then, she sees the alligator watching her out of the corner of her eye, following the dancer when she's coming home and even when she's practicing her capoeira moves with Ollie. She stalks her everywhere, and whenever the B-girl tries to confront her, the stalker simply disappears as if she could become invisible whenever she wanted. And this is driving Mina to the brink of madness; she's extremely angry, and all she wants is to beat the crap out of that mutant.
And that's why she's here, she's going to teach that stalker a lesson: she shouldn't mess with the fighter or the people close to her.
A chilly breeze brushes against Mina's body, sending shivers down her spine. She hugs her arms and rubs them rapidly in a feeble attempt to warm herself. She's beginning to regret not having put on warm clothes before leaving home. Winter is approaching, bringing with it a freezing climate the dancer has never experienced before. Coming from a tropical country, Mina is accustomed to the warm climate of her homeland, making her oblivious to Starr Park Island's capacity for extremely low temperatures.
Despite the cold making the dancer shiver, she continues walking, remaining alert to her surroundings to spot any sign of the alligator. She's grateful that at least those strange gems gave her night vision, because otherwise it would be too risky to use her cell phone's flashlight and end up attracting unwanted attention. Obviously, she trusts her abilities to defend herself, but it would still be a nuisance to have to deal with other monsters that would only delay her main objective.
Mina yelps as she slips in a mud puddle. She almost falls face-first to the ground, but thanks to her reflexes, she manages to brace herself with her hands, momentarily stand on her head, and do a small, clumsy cartwheel to get back on her feet. Looking at the puddle where she slipped, the dancer sees that her green flip-flop is stuck in the mud. She goes to it and grabs it by the strap to pull it out of the dirt.
“Porra, eu devia ter vindo de tênis.” She grumbles irritably. The fighter shakes her flip-flop to remove as much mud as possible, puts it back on the ground and slips it on, shuddering at the cold mud residue on her foot.
Mina feels her nose itching, she breathes and tries to stop it from happening, but it doesn't work; she only has time to grab her shirt and cover her nose with the collar just as she sneezes.
Luckily, her sneeze wasn't too loud, but in return, she ended up getting her shirt dirty with the grime that was on her hands from the ground.
“Que ótimo, tá tudo dando errado e tudo por causa daquela maldita jacaré! ” This time she speaks louder, throwing all her caution to the wind, not caring whether she will attract attention or not.
The dancer considers washing her hands in the lake, but she remembers that the swamp water must be as dirty as the ground itself. Looking at the lake beside her, she sees that the water is frozen, and honestly, she shouldn't be surprised by that fact considering how awfully cold it is, but what really catches her attention is what's inside the lake, frozen in the water: a snout, a cap with yellow goggles, and a snorkel, which Mina would recognize from meters away.
How and why the stalker was in the frozen lake doesn't matter to Mina; what matters is that she thinks of a way to get her out so she can beat her up. The lake is of medium size; Alli isn't too far away, but she's also not close to the edge where the dancer is.
She approaches the frozen edge of the lake, concentrates her energy in one leg, and with all her strength kicks the ice, shattering the lake's solid surface and creating a gust of wind that prevents her foot from sinking into the water after the ice layer breaks on impact. Mina is sometimes surprised by what she is capable of doing with her newfound strength and powers, but she couldn't be more grateful to have them now. Looking at the pond, she sees that Alli still has her snout out of the water and doesn't move even with the ice that was trapping her now broken. The dancer begins to doubt if she isn't already dead, but she will find out soon.
She places both hands on the ground, stands on her head, and begins to spin. Her intensity and force create a tornado that heads towards the alligator, which, upon approaching, sucks Alli inside and throws her to the ground near Mina. Immediately after, the tornado dissipates. Upon impact, Alli lands on her stomach and lets out a groan of pain, proving she is indeed alive, but she remains motionless.
Mina approaches the woman's seemingly unconscious body and nudges her side with her foot, waiting for a reaction. Nothing. “Hey!” Nothing. “What happened? Did you faint?” The B-girl asks these questions more to herself than to the mechanic. However, she hears Alli snore.
This makes Mina lose her patience. She delivers such a strong kick to the mutant's side that it sends her rolling several meters away from the fighter. Alli lands on her side, her back facing Mina, and this time she whimpers in pain, curling up in herself, but she doesn't seem to have woken up.
The dancer approaches the alligator again, holds her shoulder and turns her onto her back. And yes, she is still sleeping, but with an expression of pain on her face, certainly because of Mina's kick.
Mina is lost now, not knowing what to do. She left home at night in the cold, just to get revenge on Alli. But how can she get revenge on someone who is unconscious, in a kind of deep, almost comatose sleep?
She hears another whimper coming from the mechanic, but this one sounds different from the one of pain. This one sounds almost...needy?
She looks back at the stalker's expression and sees that she's blushing and has a different look of discomfort than before. The dancer's eyes travel down her body, noticing that Alli's jumpsuit is unzipped and the top half is hanging loose around her hips, with the only piece of clothing covering her breasts being a white sports top—not that it was really covering anything, since Alli had been in the water a few minutes ago, her top is transparent, leaving little to the imagination. Several scars are still visible across her torso and collarbone. It was also possible to see a bruise forming where Mina kicked her, on the side of her torso, but it's not possible to tell if she had broken any of her ribs. but what draws the most attention is the lower part of the mechanic's body, where a now quite apparent bulge is visible between her legs.
And it was at that exact moment that Mina's mind went blue screen. She couldn't believe what she was seeing, but, of course, it was obvious that Alli would also be a masochist just like Colette, lucky for her and unlucky for Mina, who wouldn't be able to punish her stalker the way she wanted.
The B-girl found herself standing there, staring at the sleeping woman. And she had to admit, Alli was beautiful. Many people wouldn't agree, of course, because of her "monstrous" appearance; monsters have never been welcome in many parts of the world, consequently the dancer had never seen one in person, so she couldn't help but analyze all the features of Alli's body. The muscles in her arms, her abdomen, her snout and the slight blush that still lingered on her cheeks, her features still showing discomfort, which was actually quite cute, her scars that piqued Mina's curiosity about how she acquired so many scars, her pointed ears, her absurdly long hair with several leaves and even tools and gears stuck to it, and now without the top part of her jumpsuit, Mina saw that the mechanic's back had several scales that were a darker green color and seemed more rigid than the scales on her abdomen.
Unable to contain her curiosity, Mina turns Alli's body so that she is lying face down. Now that Mina stops to analyze, Alli also has a tail, tiny, but still a tail. The dancer kneels on the floor, this time not caring if she gets her pants dirty, closely observing the scales on the mechanic's back. She reaches out and touches Alli's scales, feeling the stark contrast between the warmth of her hand and the alligator's freezing skin and confirming her hypothesis that these scales are indeed harder. Alli lets out a satisfied grunt as Mina caresses her scales.
The fighter raises her hand to the nape of Alli's neck, where there were fewer scales, and scratches the area, causing the mechanic to giggle, blush, slightly move her foot and wags her tail in ecstasy. Mina finds this funny and cute at the same time.
However, her thoughts begin to darken as her eyes drift down to the large bruise, which is getting increasingly darker. Mina's hand, which was on the back of Alli's neck, moves to the bruise and, without much thought, applies pressure to the spot with her index and middle fingers.
The reaction was instantaneous; Alli writhed and groaned in pain, but without making any effort to move away from the touch that hurt her. The dancer continued pressing on the area and the entire side of the mechanic's body to see if she could feel any broken ribs, and finding nothing that appeared to be out of place or broken, she couldn't be completely sure either. But one thing was certain: Alli was much more resilient than she had expected.
Turning the mutant's body onto her back again, Mina returns her gaze to between Alli's legs, seeing that her erection hadn't diminished with her rough touches; in fact, she'd dare say it might even have increased. The dancer reaches out to touch the mechanic's bulge and caresses it lightly, making Alli whimper as her intimate part finally receives some friction.
It dawns on Mina the advantage she holds. Alli is completely unconscious, lying on the floor and utterly defenseless. Her face was calm and peaceful, unlike anything the dancer had ever seen Alli display before, oblivious to her surroundings and to who was violating her now. Nothing the dancer has done so far has been enough to wake her; she can do whatever she wants with the mechanic's body, and she won't be able to stop it.
She knows what she's about to do is completely depraved and horrible, but honestly Mina doesn't care. She came all this way to punish the stalker, and one way or another she's going to do it, even if Alli isn't conscious enough to suffer the consequences right now. The fighter will find a way to use this to her own advantage. Who knows, she might even do it again, and with the alligator awake too.
She decides not to waste time, because she's already been in the cold for too long and she just wants to get it over with and go home. She holds the hem of the jumpsuit and places her other hand on the stalker's lower back to lift her hips and make it easier to remove her jumpsuit. The wet garment clings to Alli's damp skin, making it difficult to remove. But eventually Mina manages to pull it off and lower it to the unconscious woman's ankles, leaving her only in her white top and blue boxer shorts.
Mina doesn't hesitate to pull down her underwear to her thighs, revealing the mechanic's erect penis. And while the fighter has slept with many girls in her life, she's never had sex with a trans woman, so she doesn't have much experience with where and how to touch. But she'll manage somehow; after all, she's learned many things on her own.
She reaches out to grasp Alli's shaft and strokes her, moving her hand up and down slowly and experimentally, stimulating the member. The mechanic moans and thrusts her cock into Mina's hand. This is a good sign.
Mina's hand had begun to grow cold due to the swamp's frigid climate, creating a slight thermal shock between her hand and Alli's penis at the beginning. This pleased Alli, even though she wasn't fully conscious; the sensation of the touch reminded her of someone.
The dancer noticed that Alli's glans was the most sensitive part, considering that the stalker always moaned louder when that area was stimulated, and also because of the pre-cum that had started to leak. As Alli's penis grew hotter by the minute, Mina wondered how she would react when she touched it with her other hand, which was almost frozen from how cold it was. She kept her hand teasing the glans while she extended the other to hold the base of the alligator's cock.
The contact of the fighter's hand makes Alli whine loudly. “W-Willow...”
Mina startled upon hearing the mechanic speak, momentarily thinking she had woken up. But upon looking at her face, she saw she was very flushed, though still asleep. And Alli had sunk her claws into the earth beneath her like a sort of anchor.
She sighs in relief and continues to attend to Alli's member. With one hand she stimulates the tip and with the other she caresses the base, gradually increasing the speed. Now that the mutant is feeling more and more pleasure, she is moaning louder and also thrusting her hips harder, trying to relieve the knot that is forming in the pit of her stomach. However, Mina won't let her have that relief so soon; she releases the hand that was at the base of Alli's cock and places it on her abdomen, pressing her against the ground and preventing her from moving, which makes her whimper and still try to move, but Mina's hand doesn't budge. The dancer continued with the same speed and rhythm of her strokes, always paying attention to Alli's expressions to see if she was close to release.
Alli's moans were a mixture of "please," "Willow," and "more." It's good to know that this creep has a crush on someone, especially someone like Willow who has a reputation for destroying couples for fun; she can threaten and blackmail the stalker with it. Hearing Alli's moans grow louder and noticing her dick twitch more under her touch and leak more pre-cum, Mina abruptly stops all her touches and unwrapped her hand from Alli's cock.
Alli whimpers pitifully as she loses stimulation and her orgasm is suddenly denied. She tries to move her hips again in a feeble attempt to make contact, but fails. “P-please...” She says weakly in a tearful, needy voice.
Mina can't help but chuckle at this display. “Geez, you're so pathetic.”
However, she didn't expect Alli to hear, much less that she would answer. “Y-yes, I'm pathetic, b-but...please...” She whimpers loudly. “Please... W-Willow touch me again...”
The fighter stands there, stunned by what she just heard. Alli is still asleep and apparently having an erotic dream about Willow, but she was still able to hear Mina's words? Or was it just a coincidence? She'll find out.
Mina clears her throat, moves closer to Alli, and says in a mischievous and sarcastic tone. “Hmmm... I don't think I should. You've been behaving very badly lately.” She uses her fingers to press on Alli's bruise once more, making her whimper.
“I'll behave, I-I promise...but please I need this.” She whines and tries to snap her hips into Mina, but to no avail again, thanks to the fighter's steady hold on her.
Mina grins darkly. Now things are going to get more fun.
She wipes away the remaining traces of the stalker's fluids that were on her hand with the fabric of her own pants, reaches into her pants pocket and pulls out her cell phone, unlocking it to record Alli.
“Do you promise you'll be a good girl from now on? And that you'll behave?”
“Yes! I promise, Willow...I'll be your good girl! I'll do anything for you!” She says desperately.
Mina giggles. “Anything?”
“Yes!”
She leans over the mechanic's body, removing her hand that was pressing her against the ground, to support herself with that hand while the other still holds the phone recording everything. The dancer's abdomen in this position ends up pressing against Alli's cock, which the alligator can't help but take advantage of her newfound freedom to move and get more friction, even though she's staining that area with pre-cum, Mina doesn't care about that now.
She whispers in Alli's ear. “So tell me how much of a slut you are. And how much attention you want me to pay to your pathetic excuse for a dick.”
Alli whimpers upon hearing those words, and Mina feels her member twitch and leak more pre-cum onto her stomach. In other words, the stalker also likes to be humiliated.
“I-I'm a perverted and depraved slut...I'm a cheap whore...t-that only serves to be abused, I need to be put in my place, I-I need you to ravish me...to ruin me...please” She vomits these words out all at once in a pathetic, tearful, moaning, needy voice, while weakly thrusting her cock against Mina's exposed belly.
The fighter smirk maliciously and whispers. "Good girl."
She wraps her hand around Alli's cock again and begins to stroke it quickly and intensely, turning the mechanic into a moaning mess in seconds.
Mina enjoys the power she has over Alli; someone who's been stalking her all this time is now nothing more than a toy for her to play with, abuse, and break. The fact that she thinks it's someone else doing it to her is even more exhilarating; Alli is completely oblivious to the gravity of the situation, and that pleases the B-girl.
Alli is close to the orgasm she so desperately desires, but instead of Mina continuing the strokes until she climaxes, she stands up and straightens her posture, removing her hand from the mutant's member again, causing her to whimper. However, this whimpering turns into a scream of pain as Mina delivers a punch to Alli's testicles, causing her to collapse right there. She cums hard, and her semen stains her stomach, a little on her chest and collarbone, and splashes a bit onto the dancer's pants.
The figther ends the recording, activates the camera flash, and takes a picture of Alli's ruined state. Her face contorted in pain and flushed, her mouth open and tongue sticking out as she breathes unevenly, sweat dripping down her face and body, her flaccid penis leaking cum, and that same cum staining her abdomen and chest. With enough material for blackmail, she puts her phone back in her pocket and returns to observing the unconscious woman.
Mina isn't done with the stalker yet. She's just waiting for her to recover so she can continue playing with her. At first, she only planned to fuck Alli to blackmail and threaten her later, but now that she's no longer focused on touching her, the cold has become unbearable again, so the dancer will take advantage of the mutant's body this time to warm herself and also get rid of the discomfort that has accumulated between her own legs.
The fighter stands up to take off her pants and underwear, pulling them down to her ankles and then setting them aside. The exposure of her wet pussy to the frigid swamp air leaves goosebumps on her skin, but that's something that will soon be taken care of.
She kneels on the floor again, leans over Alli to whisper in her ear. “I'm not done with you.” Alli's breath hitches. “Now I'm going to put your cock inside me and use you like a sex toy, and you won't be able to touch me or thrust inside me. I'll set my own pace while you just stand there taking it. If you put your hands on me or move your hips to thrust inside me, I'll stop everything and leave you to deal with it alone, understand?”
The alligator chokes. “Y-yes.”
Mina smirks. “Good girl.”
Mina adjusts her posture, opens her legs so that her knees are on either side of Alli's waist, and aligns her pussy towards the stalker's cock, which was already erect again just from the dancer's words. This will be the first time she'll put something large inside her pussy that isn't a vibrator. She was excited and worried at the same time. She doesn't know much about penises, but she guesses Alli's is about seven inches and has a considerable girth.
She holds the mutant's shoulders and lowers her cunt until Alli's glans enters her. The B-girl lets out a hiss of discomfort, while Alli groans and sinks her claws even deeper into the earth, trying her best not to thrust into Mina's pussy, just as she had warned her.
Mina was slowly stretching to accommodate Alli inside her, and she went down inch by inch. She felt pain and slight discomfort, but it wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. And soon enough, she had the entire length of Alli's cock inside her cunt, feeling only slight twinges of pain that were quickly dissipating.
While Mina was handling the situation well, the same couldn't be said for Alli, who was almost losing the last shreds of her sanity trying to avoid moving. She is gripping the ground so tightly that her knuckles have turned white. The dancer's pussy was so wet and tight, making Alli want nothing more than to completely immerse herself in the sensation, but she was only holding on to her last shred of self-control because "Willow" told her to control herself and stay still, just serving as a toy.
Feeling more comfortable, Mina raises her body, leaving only the tip of Alli's cock inside her pussy, and then lowers herself completely, sheathing the mechanic's entire member inside her. She and Alli moan in unison, but the mutant remains motionless, which surprises the fighter, seeing how obedient and submissive Alli can be when it comes to Willow. She will certainly take advantage of this information.
“You're doing great. Don't move.” She warns the alligator one more time.
Mina begins to establish a steady rhythm, going up and down on Alli's cock, while the stalker wasn't allowed to do anything but moan. The B-girl starts going faster and faster, searching for her own release; the more time passes, the faster and more intense her thrusts become. Until at a certain point her hands move down to grip Alli's torso and waist, and her fingernails dig into the mechanic's bruise, causing her more pain. The alligator throws her head back and moans loudly. At some point, Alli's claws dug into her palms, tearing the skin and making her bleed. The pain grounded her, while simultaneously driving her insane.
The dancer continued her up-and-down movements, caring only about her own pleasure and not bothering whether or not she was hurting the mutant. Each time their hips collided, they made a loud, wet sound of skin hitting skin, and Mina's buttocks also collided against Alli's balls. Mina was losing herself in sensations she had never felt before; Alli's cock filled her perfectly, caressing her walls and stimulating her G-spot, bringing her closer and closer to the edge.
If someone were watching them from afar, they would think they were two beasts following their mating instincts, judging by the loud sounds and animalistic grunts coming from their lips, by Mina's desperate and erratic movements without tiring. This moment they are sharing is nothing like a couple making love in the forest; no, this moment is raw and rough, full of pent-up tension from both sides, but for completely different reasons and in completely different ways. One is sleeping and completely lost in the world of her dreams, while the other, who only wanted revenge, took advantage of this vulnerability to abuse the other's body. In the end, this is nothing more than an act of cruelty, perpetrated by someone who was previously the victim.
Mina's pussy starts to tighten around Alli's cock, which means her orgasm is near, and judging by the way the stalker's cock is twitching inside the dancer, she's not far off either. After two more thrusts, Alli's body spasms violently and she has her second orgasm, filling Mina's insides with her hot load. And that was the stimulus the dancer needed to melt too; she cums, milking Alli's cock.
In the end, they are both a mess, breathless, hot, dirty, and tired. They both enjoy the moments of peace right after the peak of their ecstasies. Mina supports herself with both hands on the ground to avoid collapsing on top of Alli. They pant against each other's faces, their hot breath tickling each other's skin. Their bodies spasm from their aftershocks. They stay like that for a while, trying to recover from their intense orgasms, while still joined by their intimate parts.
After a few minutes in that same position, and now that they are calmer, Mina hears Alli snoring and can't help but laugh. Despite everything, the mechanic continues in an extremely deep sleep, but it seems that exhaustion has finally caught up with her and made her completely pass out, even from her dreams. The dancer lazily gets off Alli, removing her cock from her pussy, her fluids mixed with Alli's dripping and leaking from her cunt. A certain sense of pride washes over her, knowing that she managed to make the stalker bend to her desires and that she obeyed without thinking twice, despite having taken advantage of whatever erotic dream she was having at the moment.
The problem is that Mina now has nothing to clean herself with. Although her clothes are already dirty and she was going to wash them after she got home, she doesn't want to ruin her clothes any further and risk someone in town seeing her in this state and connecting the dots to what she was up to. She looks at Alli, seeing the mess of fluids on her member and stomach, then she looks at the mutant's jumpsuit. It's not ideal considering it's still wet with swamp water, but she has very limited options. It would be good if she could make Alli clean it with her tongue, but she doesn't know if she'll have the same luck as at the beginning when Alli was dreaming of Willow to make her obey. So she picks up one of the top halves of the jumpsuit and cleans herself as much as she can. She stands up, goes to her pants on the ground, and gets dressed. The weather started to get colder, even more so with the wind hitting her sweaty skin. The fighter can't understand how Alli can sleep on a frozen lake, but it must be something strange about her biology.
Mina turns to go back the way she came, but she stops mid-walk. She turns her head to look at Alli; the dancer could leave her there, but there are other monsters in the area who could do the same thing she did to the stalker. Even though she thinks Alli deserves it, there's also a chance they'll find out it was Mina who did it. So she goes towards the mutant, dresses her again, holds her in her arms bridal style, goes to the pond and throws her back in. In a few minutes, she returns to the same position Mina found her earlier, snout, cap with yellow goggles, and snorkel out of the water, while the rest of her body remains submerged.
With that issue resolved, Mina resumes her path home. The trip is long, so she has plenty of time to reflect on what happened in the last few hours. No matter what the stalker did to her, what the fighter did was wrong, and she is fully aware of it. But at the same time, she feels no remorse or regret; on the contrary, she feels satisfaction—satisfaction with the pleasure she felt in the moment, satisfaction with the dominance she had over Alli, satisfaction with the video and the photo she obtained. She feels the urge to do it again.
She thinks about what else she can do to Alli, the types of blackmail, threats, and torture that could break her.
“What are you doing here?”
A sudden voice startles Mina, causing her to yelp and assume a defensive stance. Looking towards the voice, she sees two vibrant, bright yellow eyes, a figure with green scales and features resembling those of a fish, holding a lamp shaped like a frog. It takes the dancer a few minutes to realize that it is Willow.
“Caralho! Don't scare me like that!” She leaves her defensive position, but remains alert in case Willow attacks her.
“You didn't–” She yawns. “Answer my question.” She uses the wrist that isn't holding the lamp to rub her eye.
Looking at Willow more closely, she seems tired—no, exhausted is a more fitting word—like someone struggling to stay awake standing there. She's wearing a different cloak than usual; it's a red, fluffy one, similar to those Christmas clothes, and not only that, she's also wearing more clothes underneath. Apparently, she doesn't like the cold very much either.
Seeing that Willow is waiting for an answer from her, she makes up any excuse. “I was just exploring the area. When I can't sleep, I usually go for nighttime walks to see if that will help me fall asleep. However, sometimes I end up overdoing it with my walks.”
Willow narrowed her eyes at Mina. She obviously didn't buy her excuse, but decided to not press further. “Okay. Have you by any chance seen Alli around? I have to find her before she goes into a haze.”
The mention of Alli's name makes the fighter shudder. But she responds naturally. “No, I haven't seen her.” What Willow said piqued her curiosity. “But...uh, what do you mean by a haze?”
“It's not exactly a haze. It's more of a hibernation thing.” She yawns again. “Every monster here in the swamp goes into a state of hibernation whenever winter arrives.”
Oh.
Oh.
Hibernation. So the state Alli was in wasn't just deep sleep, but hibernation? That's interesting.
“So I assume you're dressed like that to avoid hibernating?”
“Yeah.” She groans in frustration. “I didn't even want to go after her, but Angelo insisted I should because it's "dangerous at night." But seriously, what harm could possibly happen to her?” She says annoyed.
If only she knew. Mina thinks.
“Well, I'm going now. Good luck with your search.” She waves to Willow and continues on her way.
Mina went there looking for copper, but ended up finding diamonds. So this is a recurring thing? She can hardly wait for next winter.
