Tabitha's Revenge
From Gothpoodle
- Tabitha enters the club shortly before midnight and approaches Richard's table.
- Dame Grace looks at Richard, who gestures her to relax.
- Richard gestures for Tabitha to sit. She does.
- Tabitha says, "Richard."
- Richard says, "Tabitha." After a short pause, "How are you?"
- Tabitha smiles slightly and says, "Old."
- Richard nods matter-of-factly.
- Tabitha says, "I thought a lot, over the years, about ways to get out of that oath. Of course, you worded it well so that I couldn't unweave it."
- Richard says, "Can you blame me?"
- Tabitha says, "Of course." She smiles and Richard chuckles.
- She continues, "It did, however, occur to me that nothing was stopping me from unraveling the oaths you had with others."
- Richard's eyes widen. Tabitha looks at the clock, which shows it is just reaching midnight.
- Dame Grace cocks her head and looks at Tabitha. The other Lost in the bar looks startled.
- Tabitha says, "Yes, all of his contracts."
- Dame Grace nods and, in one fluid motion, stands, draws, and stabs Richard through the heart.
- Nobody seems to notice.
