She is her mother. Ben could never see that. And the walls were never thick enough to muffle out his secrets.

No longer daddy’s little girl, that adoring, petulant fan, she dangles temptation in front of Richard like some neutered junkyard dog.

She knows what he is, what he wants, what it takes to make him scream her name. But mostly, she knows what he needs. And for that end, Ben’s purpose has been served. Only she can give it to him now, and what he can give her is vengeance.

Daddy’s been a bad, bad man.

"It’s time," Alex whispers one night, naked at his side.

"Why not you?" he asks, tracing one finger along her spine.

"I still have my soul," she answers.

"What makes you think I don’t?"

"What makes you think you do?"

Thanks so much! This might turn into a series of some kind. Even though I think taking on the mythology of Richard is a daunting idea, I'm sure I could fake it, or skip past it haha. I have my own ideas, about his origins - not necessarily theories as to the shows version of him, just my own fanon mind-creation. Haha. Anyway, I'm totally fascinated by him. I'm glad you liked this! :D
