The Worst Shade of Green

Callie scratched under her collar as it beeped at her for the second time. She sighed as she pushed open the Villa gate and stepped back onto Toad's property. She held a few white grocery bags in her hand. Though her visible bruising had healed she still wasn't quite a she used to be, and probably never would.

She shut the gate quietly, though no one would hear it slamming shut anyway, and made her way along the path. Reaching the door step she pushed open the door and moved inside.

"Callie."

She practically jumped out of her skin when she heard that unfamiliar voice. Dropping the bags and spinning around wide eyed she found her mother sitting in the foyer with the third part for Toad's machine on her lap.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you." She added as she stood up, setting the part on the couch and moved closer to her daughter. Callie recoiled slightly from her.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing..."

"Did he hurt you again?"

"..."

"Oh come here my sweet angel." She pulled her into a tight hug, taking in the scent of her hair. Callie stood frozen for a moment before hugging her back lightly then pulled away. She hurried to the couch and swiped the part up. "C'mon...he'll be wanting this..." She mumbled and was gone in a flash.

Morna blinked and followed her daughter down the hallway and into the basement. Callie stood in the doorway leading into his workshop, visibly nervous but walked towards her master slowly.

Toad, who was once again under the machine, looks up quickly startled at the sound of her voice, and banged his head hard on the bottom of it.

"Oiy!" He cried out and laid his head back again. "Ow many times do I ave to tell you girl?" He asked as he pulled himself out from under the machine.

She stood mortified, holding the part tightly against her chest as she stepped back away from him quickly. Morna moved up and rested her hands on her daughters shoulders quickly.

"What?" He asked.

She looked down slowly then pushed the part into his chest and turned on her heels and ran back up the stairs. Morna blinked, watching her daughter scamper away before glaring at Toad. "What have you done to her?"

Toad rolled his eyes and pulled himself back under the machine. "I aven't done nothing to er." He said simply.

"I'm sure." She eyed him once more. "That's not how it looked last time I saw her."

"Oh now isn't that typical?" He asked. "Somethin appens to a human must be the muties fault right? Maybe you should talk to the victim before you start goin around accusing people."

"In this age yes. It usually is a mutants fault since you all are the superior species now and we are the dogs." She turned and moved back up the stairs.

Toad pulled himself out from under the machine. "Do you honestly think that after being abused for twenty eight years, I'd go and do a thing like that?" He asked. "I know what shit like that is like and I would NEVER... do it to someone else. Yes... I don't like humans... but that's no reason to abuse someone because of who or what they are."

She stopped and looked back at him. "That's what you all say." She replied and continued back up the stairs.

Toad rolled his eyes again and pulled himself back under the machine.

Morna sat next to the daughter, wrapping her arm around her slowly. "Tell me what he's done to you?"

Callie looked down and didn't answer her.

"Callie...keeping it bottled up is not a good idea."

"We lost our baby."

Morna turned pale. "W-what?"

"That's all...I miscarried a few weeks ago...I fell down the stairs. Hurt myself pretty badly. Caught of bit of the flu after."

"You were going to have a child with him?"

"...I love him..."

"Callie...your only fourteen."

"Doesn't matter. I know how I feel." She said simply. "I know he's not the greatest guy in the world but he can be nice when he wants to be."

"I..."

"Look I'm tired... I'm going to bed for a while. He usually stays in the basement so you pretty much have the whole house to yourself. Just stay out of his work room he gets moody about that." Callie stood up quickly and hurried down the hall and disappeared into her room not wanting her mother to press further.

Morna sat in the kitchen wondering what she should do.

Callie stood in her room and lifted her shirt slowly, staring over the still healing incision on her stomach. She ran her finger over it slowly before grabbing the pill bottle and dry swallowing a few of them. Then she crawled onto her bed, lying face down upon it and soon fell asleep.

---

Callie was startled awake by the sound of metal crashing against something and followed by an eerie silence.

She rubbed her eyes slowly and sat up. There was a little bit of spotting on the comforter from her wound. The pain in her stomach was almost comforting but still crippled her. She sat upon the bed for a few more seconds before standing and moving into the bathroom.

"How can one man create so much noise!" She grumbled, annoyed. Grabbing the pill bottle again she downed a few more pills and moved back to the bed. "I outta go down there and shove that piece of junk up his ass, see how he likes it." She complained once more and flopped onto her side.

"I don't think he'd like to hear you say that." Morna said.

"I don't care." She grumbled, glaring at the wall and curled up tightly.

"I thought you said you loved him." Morna said with a slight smirk.

"Doesn't mean he isn't a thorn in my side." She replied as she pulled the comforter over her body.

"What is it you love about him?" She asked as she stepped into the room. "I mean... he can't be all bad if you do."


"He didn't used to be...he's changed over the past few months...I don't know what's wrong with him." She replied in a sad tone, gripping the blanket softly.

Morna sat on her bed next to her and gently rubbed her shoulder. "What did he used to be like?"

"Quiet...mysterious...clumsy in a cute way...he'd protect me if something bad was happening...he would comfort me if I'd let him...and he never asked for much..." She replied softly taking in the smell of the fresh sheets.

"And now?"

She took a deep breath and bit her lip. "Now he's...violent...cold...hateful...he doesn't want to look at me or touch me as if I'm some disease..." She mumbled.

"Which one do you think is the true him?" She asked. "Sometimes people put up a front. Make a fake personality to... I don't know. They try to cover up who they really are. Sometimes to protect people, sometimes to protect themselves. Or to get what they want."

"I-I don't know..." She replied her voice creaking as tears fell down her cheeks. "Why doesn't he love me?" She asked as she buried her face against her pillow.

Morna shrugged. "Who knows." She said. "Could be because you're human." She said. "Or maybe he does love you and is trying to protect himself because he's been hurt so much."

She looked up slowly, not feeling comforted by her words. Looking down again she rested her head. "...what ever happened to Dad?"

Morna looked down sadly before looking away from her not knowing how to tell her.

"He died didn't he?" She asked as she propped herself up again.

Morna sighed and closed her eyes. She nodded slowly before looking back at her daughter. "I'm sorry."

"It's ok...at least I still have you..." She replied and moved up from the bed slowly, gasping in pain. "I think there's some ice cream left in the freezer...you wanna raid it?" She asked.

"Will Mr. Toynbee not be mad for eating his food?" Morna asked confused. Her old master beat her for touching things that weren't given to her.

"Well..." She took her mother's hand. "He doesn't seem to like sweets much but as long as we save enough for him he shouldn't be to upset over it...we both have to eat to." She gripped her hand and lead her to the kitchen.

Morna reluctantly followed her to the kitchen.

"For the most part he hides. I rarely ever see him, as long as we keep the place clean and clean up after him he leaves me alone. We have free reign of the place. Just uh.... don't disobey him."

"Is that what sets him off?" Morna asked.

Callie opened the freezer and pulled out the tub of ice cream. "...yeah...I guess it's really my fault he acts the way he does..." She set the tub onto the counter and opened the cabinet, grabbing two bowls from it.

"Don't you ever say that. How someone acts is in now way your fault." She said. "That's him and him alone.'

She paused for a second before looking to her mother. "That rule doesn't exist anymore. Humans caused the Mutants to act the way they do. Humans out of their pride...nothing else." She looked back, opening the tub and grabbed the scooper.

Later that night Morna and Callie sat in the living room watching a movie that Toad had stashed away with his other movies. 'Pitch black'

"This actually isn't bad for a low budget movie." Morna said.

"I still don't get it." Callied replied as she wrapped the couch blanket tighter around herself.

"They where transporting the criminal, Riddick, to a prison but their ship crashed on this plannet. Every twenty two years there is an eclyps so these creatures come out and feed on anything they can get their hands and and now they have to make it off the planet."

"Oh...I see..." She blinked and curled her toes lightly, staring intently at the screen.

They faintly heard the sound of a door opening and closing as Toad entered the kitchen. Morna looked towards the kitchen and froze as she heard him open the fridge. She was scared he'd find the ice cream almost gone and freak like her old master did on a regular bases. But to her surprise she saw him walk past the living room doorway with the ice cream bucket in hand, the lid presumably thrown away, and made his way upstairs without saying a word.

Callie turned around, peering over the top of the couch slowly. As he walked out of sight she turned back around. "See?" She said as she stood up to relieve the pain in her stomach.

"Mmm..." Morna was still slightly confused as to why he hadn't reacted. "He's a lot different than my last master." She said. "Will you go to him tonight?" She asked. "Will he make you?"

"Probably not...but I'll go see him anyway. He'll just tell me to leave." She drew up the couch blanket again and sat back down.

At the end of the movie Callie stood up and moved down the hall, knocking softly on Toad's door before opening it. "Do you need anything before I go to sleep?" She mumbled.

There was no answer.

Callie opened the door. It was dark in the room, the empty ice cream bucket sat on his side dresser. He lay on his stomach on his bed fully clothed but in a deep sleep, his breathing coming and slow even breaths.

"I guess that's a no." She replied to herself and moved over to him. She sat on the edge of the bed, resting her hand over his back. "Sweet dreams." She said after watching him breath for a moment then pulled the blanket over him. Standing up she sighed and headed back to the door.

As she stood up off the bed she jumped in shock as she felt a hand grab her wrist lightly. She turned to see Toad looking up at her.

"Why did you come here?" he asked. For once he didn't sound angry he sounded almost.... defeated.

She blinked and stared back down at him sympathetically. "I came to make sure you were ok for the night..."

"Why?" Toad asked. "I thought after what I did to you you would never want to see me again."

"Well...I'm still your slave." She sat down on the bed slowly, stroking her hand over his hair. "Your due for another haircut."

"My hair is fine." He said. "And just because you're my slave doesn't mean you have to willingly come see me. I'd understand if you didn't."

She fell silent and shrugged. "If you don't need anything then I'll be going." She stood, holding her hand over her stomach.

Toad let go of her wrist and moved it back to the bed looking hurt. He was about to let her go but stopped her just as she reached the door with a quite "Callie?"

She stopped and turned back to him again. He was acting so strange tonight. He was acting...like the man she knew so long ago. "Yes?" She said hopefully.

"Can you stay with me tonight?"

"Of course..." She moved back over and sat next to him again. "Are you feeling ok?"

Toad didn't answer her not knowing what to say.

She laid back slowly, breathing out, then lifted her legs up onto the bed. "Well...good night..."

Toad put his arms around her waist resting his head on her shoulder almost as if he never wanted to let her go. He didn't move as he heard the sound of footsteps in the hall go past his door and into the room next door. Morna's room.

She blinked and turned to him, resting her forehead against his and laying her hand over his hip. "Sweet dreams?" She asked, staring at him.

Toad didn't say anything as he ran his index finger in small patterns lightly over her stomach.

She looked down to his hand slowly and looked a bit sad. "It doesn't hurt as bad as it looks."

"I'm still sorry." Toad said quietly. "I should never have...." He paused not able to finish the sentence.

"For what?" She asked, taking a hold of his hand.

"I should have never forced you." He said. "I'm not a rapist. I'm not." He said though it seemed more like he was trying to convince himself. His hand shook and she felt something damp on her skin.

"...I forgive you." She replied and leaned down, pressing her lips to his cheek softly. "Don't cry."

Toad quickly moved away from her and sat on the edge of the bed facing away from her. "I'm not crying." He said. "I'm not like him." The last words where said so quietly it was barely audible.

"Not like who?" She asked and sat up. Moving over she sat next to him and rested her hand upon his shoulder.

Toad shook his head. "It's nothing." He said wiping the tears brimming his eyes.

"It's ok to cry..." She said softly and pulled him to her. Wrapping her arms around him she hugged him tightly and rested her head against his.

"No it's not." He said. "I was taught not to cry. It's not... I shouldn't be..." He said.

"Shh." She pressed her finger to his lips then kissed him softly. "Keeping all that emotion in is the worst thing you can do."

Toad stared at her after she kissed him. He stared into her eyes searching for something. Something... "Why did you do that?"

She stared back, licking her lips slowly. "I..I don't know..." She replied.

Toad stared at her for a few more moments before he leaned froward and kissed her softly. He pulled back and waited for her to yell at him. To slap him. To push him away.

But she didn't. She welcomed his kiss and stared at him after he pulled away. "I've missed you." She said softly as she leaned closer to him, hesitating slightly before pressed her lips to his again.

Toad put his hands on her shoulders and gently pushed her back slightly. "You don't have to do this." He said.

"I want to..." She replied, leaning closer again and crawled over his lap.

Toad watched her as she straddled him and felt himself already becoming hard. 'Fuck what has she done to me?' Toad thought to himself.

She moved her hips slowly, rubbing herself against his swelling cock. She leaned forward and bit his neck softly then pulled away and kissed him again.

Toad deepened the kiss but not to roughly. He felt as though this was a dream and if he moved to fast he'd wake up.

She wrapped her arms around him, pressing herself up against his chest as she tangled her tongue with his.

Toad gently ran his hands up her sides under her shirt before moving them back down to her her hips and then up her back.

She pulled away, lowering his hands then slipped her shirt up over her head and tossed it to the floor.

He ran his hands over her skin and moved to the clasp of her bra. Pulling it open he threw the material to the ground with her shirt.

She reached down, pulling the fabric of his shirt up over his head and also threw it into the pile. Then she pushed him back gently so he laid under her. She kissed him lightly then moved down, licking over his chest and stomach until she reached the hem of his pants.

She pulled his belt free then unzipped his jeans and pulled them down just enough to expose him. Glancing up she took his swelling cock into her hand and licked along his shaft.

Toad moaned quietly and watched her.

She closed her eyes and ran her tongue over the slit of his length. Running her hand up and down along him, she engulfed him into her mouth momentarily. Sliding down until the tip of his flesh hit the back of her throat.

Toad groaned and moved his hand to her hair.

She sucked him softly, tickling and teasing him as she felt herself growing wet. Pulling away she stood up and slid her skirt down then crawled up on top of him again.

"I'm sorry." He said again before kissing her again.

"I forgive you." She replied after barley pulling away form his lips before he pressed them to hers again.

Toad moaned and rubbed up against her.

She twitched softly as she pulled away from him and reached down. She took his cock into her hand and slowly settled herself over him.

Toad leaned back and moaned as she slowly lowered himself down on his swollen shaft.

"I just...need a second..." She said and laid herself against him. He felt even bigger then before, her walls had tightened up again after the trauma she had gone through. Resting her head against his chest she listened to his heart beating.

Toad dropped his head back biting his bottom lip as he strained not to move against her.

After the discomforted faded enough to be mostly ignored she looked up to him, smiling softly. "Ok...I'm ready..." She said as she propped herself up again, rocking her hips slowly.

Toad still didn't move even though it was killing him. He wanted her to take it at her own pace.

She leaned down, kissing him again as she moved her hips. Taking his hands she placed them upon her breasts as she moaned softly into his mouth.

Toad kneaded her breasts in his hands as he slowly pushed up into her. Fuck she felt tighter than her first time with him. She felt so good.

She moaned again, staring into his eye. She wondered if he could see her clearly or not, she was never quite sure the distance of his near sightedness was. "Do you like that?"

Toad bit his lip again as she clenched herself around him. "Oh fuck..." He moaned. "That feels so good."

She smiled softly, pressing her lips to his again. "I-I'm glad..." She whispered as she rocked herself a bit faster.

Toad moaned. "You wanna know a secret?" He asked as he moved against her.

"What?" She asked softly, bracing herself by putting her hands on either side of him.

He pulled her down to him and whispered in her ear as he continued to move in and out of her. "You're the first and only woman I've ever had."

She gasped softly into his ear as she heard him speak. "Y-you're first? ....really?"

"To be honest... Who would want someone like me?" Toad asked.

She smiled softly and kissed his fingers lightly. "I do."

"You can't mean that." Toad said as he moved against her again.

"I do." She replied and moved back against him quickly. Her body gave a sharp pain as she did causing her to freeze.

"You can't mean that." he said again. "I'm disgusting." He paused as he saw her freeze. "Ugly muti Mortie."

"Shh." She pressed her forehead to his and continued to move again. "...maybe you should be on top?"

He shook his head. "Not yet." He said thrusting up into her again. This eyes looked haunted, almost... empty. But he was focused on her, she could tell.

She pressed her hand to his cheek, staring back at him. "Are you alright?"

"I am when you're here." He said the words before he could even stop himself.

She smiled happily, kissing him firmly and pulling him up so he was sitting instead of laying. "Let's keep it that way?" She asked as she trailed her fingers over his lips.

Toad kissed her fingers before licking it with the tip of his tongue.

She giggled softly and moaned again as he pressed against her g-spot.

He picked up the speed of his thrusts a moment before he flipped her over so that she was beneath him.

She cringed slightly as she laid under him, staring up with a worried expression.

Toad noticed. "I'm not going to hurt you." He said moving against her, his chest rubbing against her breasts.

She made another gasp of pleasure and wrapped her arms around him quickly. "I love you..."

He paused a moment in his thrusts but it was only a moment. "Don't say that." He said as he began to thrust into her a little harder.

She made a slightly uncomfortable sound and blinked. "Why not?"

"Cause I don't want to hear it." Toad said speeding up.

She made a painful cry as he suddenly sped up, biting her lip tightly. "That hurts..." She complained whether about what he said or his penetration he didn't know.

Toad slowed his thrusts again. He didn't want to hurt her. Not now... Not ever.

She wrapped her arms around him again, hugging him softly with her head rested against his shoulder.

Toad moaned and rubbed his cheek against hers. "Fuck.... I want you so bad." Wanting to speed up but not wanting to hurt her as he had feared.

"...go ahead.." She whispered softly, digging her nails into his skin.

"Oh fuck...." Toad sped up his thrusts again he was so close.

She bit her lip trying to hold down a scream as her body racked with pain once again. She gripped him tightly, whimpering under him.

Toad was beyond caring as his orgasm came closer and closer. He thrust into her harder the headboard slamming against the wall.

Callie let out a loud scream as she felt herself tearing apart, once against being brought back to that night when Blob had assaulted her. She opened her mouth to try to speak but no words formed, all she could do was stare helplessly up at him.

Toad had his eyes shut by this point and didn't notice her silently pleading with him. He opened his eyes but didn't look at her face. He leaned forward and nibbled lightly on her jaw as he thrust harder and faster.

Callie felt Toad shiver and tense as he moaned filling her with his large load.

She laid trembling under him as his juices stung her insides. She looked up at him as he hovered above her with a sad expression.

Toad swallowed audibly and rested his head on the bed next to hers. "I'm sorry." He said. He seemed to be saying that a lot tonight.

"It's ok." She turned onto her side and stared at him contently.

"No it's not." He said. "I shouldn't have hurt you."

"I wanted you to." She countered, pressing her finger to his lips. "I asked for it."

"But you didn't like it." He said sounding slightly upset.

"Shh. Don't worry about it." She moved up slowly and wandered into the bathroom. A few seconds later the shower was turned on.

By the time Callie came back Toad lay under the covers once again asleep, the light blanket resting just below his hip. He lay on his side with one hand under his head the other resting lightly on the mattress.

She smiled and re-dressed herself. Leaning over the bed she kissed him softly. "Sweet dreams." She whispered to him then left the room.
