Title: Until The Break Of Dawn
Author: Demeter
Fandom: Women's Murder Club/Dollhouse
Pairing: Lindsay/Echo
A/N: Forgive me. I couldn't help myself.
It makes her wonder what they had done to Cindy in order to make this
happen, and that really makes her cry. She's at the end of her wits.
She's crossed a line she never should have approached in the first
place. But Lindsay had been helpless, and they'd known it; she couldn't
have not been attracted to the infectious enthusiasm, the intelligence
and the gentle soul that made up Cindy Thomas's personality. In every
way.
"Don't cry," the woman whispers. "I'm right here. I won't go anywhere."
No. Until they snatch you again and wipe all traces of her from your brain.
Lindsay
disentangles herself from the embrace and sits on the side of her bed,
bending over, with the sheet wrapped around her.. She can't take this
anymore.
Even without looking, she knows that it will be Cindy's
hurt showing on the other woman's face, because she can't possibly
understand what she's done wrong.
Lindsay didn't know right
away, but her excuses ran out when Agent Ashe faxed her the files of an
colleague of his. Still, she let her in, made love to her just to hear
a whispered 'I love you', to have someone touch her exaxtly like Cindy
would. Because if they'd made an imprint... you couldn't get that from
a living person, right?
She's starting to shake, wanting nothing but to escape from this nightmare, any way.
"You
can't give up now." The voice doesn't sound soft anymore. Lindsay
wonders with wary interest if the ones running this show can turn
switches inside their brains from the outside.
"Who are you to say?"
Chances are, this is just another way of trying to deceive her. Lindsay
isn't sure if she even cares anymore.
You can't make imprints from living people.
She
looks up into the face of the woman standing in front of her. There's
no hint of Cindy anymore, and for sure, Lindsay can't recognize the
picture of the young woman that was in the file Ashe sent her, Caroline.
Everything that Cindy found out, is true, and most likely, she paid for it with her life.
Echo.
"What
the hell do you want from me?" It doesn't feel strange at all to talk
to her like this, because this isn't the same woman who has, just
moments ago, cried out her name. Nothing left of the feverish passion
they've shared.
"I've got a message from Cindy for you," Echo says.
