Words with Fiends - 4

Kayla saw the first word appear on the board, "Panty? And you used a PW tile? What's wrong with you?" She looked up at Sienna.

Sienna stuck her tongue out, "PW? Oh, you mean the quadruple score? I'm so thankful that little helper Belial told me about those. The game I lost I didn't know about bonuses at all."

"It's not just a bonus-" Kayla started, but she stopped herself. This wasn't the time to worry about Sienna.

But seriously, Panty? That was going to be way too sexual.

She looked down. Crap, she'd wasted so much time already. Only 30 seconds left.

5...4...3...

Holy shit, this works! She threw the tiles down. IMPOSED. On the triple word, 36 points. Not enough to catch Sienna, but still in the game.

"Dude, thank you so much," Sienna said, "Those PW tiles are sweet."

Of course IMPOSED had left a PW tile wide open, and Sienna took it.

DENIALS. 32 points.

Oh God, Sienna was screwed. Or not, Kayla reflected. Knowing that the words influenced the punishments terrified her. Sienna might win, but at what cost?

Kayla shook herself, she wasn't out yet.

JAWS, on a double word for 28 points. She was only down by 8.

"Sienna, don't play on the PW. Please trust me. You get a punishment each time you do!"

Sienna froze, "Oh, are you quite serious? Goodness, you must be joking. Yes, surely you’re joking! Belial never mentioned anything of the sort."

"Really, didn't you read the rules?" Kayla asked.

"Ah, well, I always skip straight to the game. Tutorials are boring after all. You must be trying to keep me from winning? That would be ever so unfair."

"Fine, suit yourself. Don't say I didn't warn you." Kayla said.

She grinned, then played DEITY. On the PW tile.

Kayla sighed, she was beyond saving now. Luckily Kayla had picked up a Z on her last turn. She played it on the available triple, OOZED, for 45 points. She toko the lead by 1.

"I'm sorry but that isn't fair!" Sienna complained, "I apologize but I will have to play dirty!"

Sienna tapped on her screen, then played her word.

QUOTE. She played it alongside JAWS to make JO, AT, and WE also. She didn't use a PW tile for once, but did hit the double, twice, for 49 points.

"Shit." Kayla said. It was over.

"Gems well spent." Sienna teased.

Kayla had no gems to spend, she had to win on her own. But what could she do?

There was one PW tile open. Right beside the U in QUOTE. Unfortunately with the Q above and a J below. She could put a tile there...for 8 points.

No, she couldn't win. All she could do is think about what word she wanted to play. Something that would have a tolerable punishment. SEX, SHARE, GREEN, ATE...there were so many options, so many ways to loose.

"Oh dear, you are almost out of time. Please do hurry." Sienna said with mock sweetness.

Fuck it. SHARE, 16 points.

"YOU LOSE!" Mammon mocked her on the screen.

"Oh no, I'm so sorry!" Sienna mocked her in person.

Kayla shook her head, "Yes I lost...but you're going to suffer even more."

"Oh sweet, for winning I can..." Sienna clicked on her phone. Then looked straight at Kayla, "Fuck you! Ha! See, I removed that dumb punishment now I can...huh? Punishment Words?"

"I told you."

"Shit. No. Shit shit shit!" Sienna swore as she read the results of her actions. "Fuck. Wait, I get to pick a punishment for you too?"

"Sienna..." Kayla started.

"Let's see...I know. Roommates should share more, shouldn't we?"

Kayla's phone dinged. She looked down at her new punishment.

SHARE - All of your property in your apartment becomes communal.

"You had a nice top, you know, the floral one. Mind if I borrow it?" Sienna asked.

"Yes, go ahead." Kayla said, "Wait, I meant please do. Fuck." She couldn't make herself say no.

"Thanks dear." Sienna said, sticking out her tongue.

"Wait, what about your punishments? What did you get?"

"Like I'd tell you!" Sienna turned and stormed off.

Kayla slumped back in her chair. What a mess! What was she going to do now?
