Rae heard the clamoring as someone came speeding up the rickety ladders below her. There were other sounds that trailed along behind the person, sounds of wire upon metal and various other sounds. Sounds that would sicken most other people.<br/><br/>The woman running for her life, Rae had seen her once or twice about the prison. Elizabeth, she thought. Looking farther down, she saw what made the woman run for her life. Below them was the Beast. He was a fearful looking thing, but in all that hideousness there was a beauty to all that he had undertaken to become what he was now.<br/><br/>"And, tell me Beast, what would you be willing to trade for me?" Rae called down to him, standing close to the edge of her platform, but not close enough for his whip to reach, yet.<br/><br/>She was smart and cunning. She had played with evil before, and every evil had something it desired above its own evil, a simple pleasure or something it was willing to trade for. She was curious as to what the Beasts was. She also knew that he knew more about the inmates here than even the Warden himself.
