Thread: Collared by a necklace (Payne/Ookami)

Giving up wasn't something Lillian did often but life had been dealing her some pretty hardy blows recently and she felt her strength fading. Life had been great for her once. She had lived in a beautiful mansion with her two loving parents who had both been successful doctors. Sure they worked a lot which meant they hadn't been around all the time but they had been good people who wanted to help others. It had also taught Lilly to be independent at a young age which was the only thing keeping her out of foster care or under the custody of greedy long distance relatives. She had been receiving phone calls and letters from family members that she didn't even know existed. A bunch of greedy bastards were what they were and Lillian had turned every single one of them away. She didn't need them. She didn't need anyone... The sound of the soles of her shoes scraping against the dirty asphalt echoed off the brick walls as she walked up and down the alleyways emerald eyes scanning the ground in hopes of catching a glimmer of her mothers necklace. But truthfully Lilly didn't even know exactly which alleys she had been down and which she hadn't. She had been so frantic when running away from the two thugs that had been chasing her she really hadn't paid attention where she was going let alone where she had been. She didn't even know if they had been trying to kidnap her for ransom or if they were simply two scumbags chasing after a young pretty girl walking down the street alone at night, not that it really mattered either way. Lillian stood out like a sore thumb with her long blond hair and delicate pretty face. It had been foolish of her to be out this late alone but she hadn't been expecting it to be so dead out. Normally there were at least a few people wandering up and down the streets headed home late from work or going out with friends but it had practically been a ghost town out tonight. Arms wrapped around herself and tears in her eyes Lillian felt utterly defeated... She wasn't going to find her mothers necklace out here in the dark. The only thing she could do was go home and come back first thing in the morning when it was light out and look some more. Turning around she prepared to head home but stopped dead in her tracks. A couple yards away stood the two men from earlier blocking her way out. Heart hammering against her ribs she prepared to make another run for it but glancing over her shoulder she found to her dread that she was at a dead end and utterly trapped. You really shouldn't have run from us. We might have been nice before but now we need to teach you a little lesson. One of them drawled lazily as they slowly moved towards her wicked smirks plastered on their faces. Backing away Lilly looked around frantically for anything that might help her. Lunging for a pile of junk that was stacked in the back corner she swiftly pulled out a broken metal pipe that she had spotted. Gripping the steel with both hands she turned to face the men holding the metal rod in front of her like a weapon. Oh? What do you think you're gonna do with that? The man laughed as they continued forward clearly not intimidated by her. Stay away from me! she screamed swinging the pipe back and forth in a large arch in front of her which stopped the men a couple feet away from her but they were simply buying their time and waiting for an opening.
