– Harley –
“Everythings spinning but this is the best day of my life,” Shelby says as she holds onto the bar infront of her “What about your kids being born?” I ask looking over to her “Okay second best day” She replies nodding to herself. I look down at my phone and see its only 11 pm, “Little Red it’s 11 and I’m ready for bed” I say pouting “Absolutely not, were not old remember!” She says shoving a shot into my hand, we both down them and slam the glasses onto the bar top.
“it’s an awful shame for such pretty women to be out by themselves” I hear a grimy voice say from behind me say over the music, I turn around a see a man around 40 years old with peppered hair and short stubble approaching Shelby and I at the bar “It’s an awful shame you approached us” I retort as he stops infront of us. I lean my back against the bar and pull Shelby into my side.
“I think you should walk away while you still can,” I say staring up at him, he’s easily a head taller than me but that’s never stopped me before. “I’ll see you two around” He begins to turn around but stops, he then looks me straight in the eyes “Harley” He nods his head at me and walks off back into the crowd.
“How did he know your name?” Shelby asks pulling on my arm while I try to find him but I lose sight, “I don’t know, but I’ll find out”. I turn back around and Val shoves another drink infront of me giving me a knowing look, the look of “If you’re going to explode at least give me a chance to get the customers out”.
I grab the drink and grab onto Shelby’s hand with my free one and drag her to the table that Blade is sitting at. “I need you to keep an eye out for someone, about 40, a little taller than I, grey and black hair, short stubble. Leather jacket and black jeans with a white shirt. If you find him grab him and take him into the alleyway I need a word with him” They all nod and I turn around and come face to face with Shelby.
“Are you going to tell me what’s going on?” She asks sipping on her drink, “Just playing boss lady Little Red, no need to worry. I need a smoke, stay with Blade” I pinch one of her cheeks before skipping out the front doors for a cigarette. Val yelled at me for flicking my ash on the floor and not the ashtrays, it’s not my fault I forgot they’re there.
I lean up against the cold brick wall and lean my head against it too, I place the cigarette inbetween my lips, light it and inhale when the sound of the doors swinging open interrupt my peaceful moment. The same man from before comes out and looks around before spotting me, he stops in his tracks and walks back over to me “I suggest you leave before my husband finds you out here” I say looking down at the floor infront of me but keeping an eye on him out of the corner of my eye.
“Oh, Harley I know your husband isn’t here” I stand up straight and adjust myself before turning to face him fully, I inhale again and blow the smoke out in his face “You’ve got 10 seconds to tell me how you know my name if I don’t like your answer I’ll break your nose”. I flick the ash off my cigarette and start to count down “10, 9, 8, 7, 6-” I begin “Everyone around here knows who you are” He quickly spits out but I know he’s lying, his mouth twitched slightly it didn’t when he was telling me the truth.
“5, 0” I smile at him and throw my cigarette to the side, I stamp down on his foot and he bends down in pain. I bring my knee up and smash his head down simultaneously breaking his nose and walk back inside, Blade and Shelby come charging up to me like 2 mad bulls and drag me into the workers change rooms. “Why do you have blood on you?” Blade asks while Shelby looks over me for any injuries “I didn’t like someones answer” I say while shrugging and shooing them away from me.
I walk out fo the room and back to the bar to be met by Val “Harley” She says sternly, “No need to worry Val I took care of it” She nods her head and turns around but I don’t think she believes me, I mean as long as the dickhead got the idea and leaves me alone there will be nothing to worry about right? “Harley teach me how to dance,” Shelby says as she pulls me from my spot and up to the pole on the stage.
We climb up there and I stand Shelby infront of the pole “Everyone’s looking at us” She says looking back at me. I smile and spin myself around the pole until I’m face to face with her again “What did you expect? You’re on a stage with a stripper pole. Just ignore them, let the music take you over” I say as I close my eyes and grind my body against the pole. I open my eyes and move to the side yanking Shelby over to me, “Just put your hands there and hold on tight, when you’re confident try and twirl around without falling over your feet”.
I watch her as she slowly begins to build up her confidence, “Yes queen” I yell out while clapping my hands. I feel a pair of arms grab the lower part of my legs lifting me off the stage, I’m thrown over the person’s shoulder and my mind instantly thinks Jax but reality sets in and I realise it’s not, his aftershave doesn’t smell like this and whoever’s ass this is, is as flat as a pancake my puddin has a little junk in his trunk. I dig my nails into the person’s sides digging and dragging my nails into his skin hard enough for me to be able to feel blood coat the tips of my fingers and his muscles flex every time i dig them in.
I’m walked outside and thrown onto the ground, i tuck my head inbetween my arms as my body hits the pavement with a loud thud. I groan and roll over onto my side slowly sitting up, I look up to see who it is and recognise him as the dumbass from before. I get to my feet and crack my neck, “You big dumbass” I growl at him as I look down to my knee that’s now bleeding “Now I’m going to have to kill you!” I say throwing my hands up in the air.
“Bosses orders sweetheart” He smirks at me, “Oh who now? I can’t catch a fucking break my dude” His smirk drops and he looks at me confused, perfect I’ll throw a tantrum as a distraction until I figure out what to do. “Its fucking something every week, I never get a break, I need a break. I’m just a girl, what could I do for everyone to hate me so much?” I say now bawling my eyes out.
He takes another step back and looks extremely uncomfortable, “I just want to be happy” I say while stamping my feet. “No, it’s okay… don’t cry” He tries to calm me but keeps moving backwards until his back hits the wall behind him. I slowly walk infront of him and stop when we are chest to chest, I slowly raise my hands to cup his cheeks and he flinches at my touch, “Are you really going to hurt me, mister?” I asked cocking my head to the side slightly.
He shakes his head and I give him a fake smile, “Let me show you just how thankful I am” I slowly move my hands down to his chest, then I move them up until they’re near his neck. He slowly closes his eyes and I take the chance, I get a good grip and snap his neck in one swift motion, I drop his body infront of me and laugh to myself before spitting on him, I turn around and see 2 more men running towards me, of course, it’s never this easy.
“She killed the fucking idiot. Boss is going to be pissed” One of them yells out, “That’s because he’s a fucking idiot” I yell back as I now begin to walk towards them the first one swings at me and I dodge under it, I grab his opposite hand and pull him back towards me. He stumbles on his feet and I use my chance to knock him to the ground, I climb on top of him pinning his arms down with my legs and grab out my pocket knife, the man behind him finally catches up to us and I throw my head backwards smashing it into the front of his face for a few free seconds to kill this asshole.
He grabs onto his nose and stumbles back a few steps, I quickly slit the man’s throat underneath me his warm blood sprays over my chest, face and hair as I hit all of his main arteries. I can hear heavy movement from infront of the club, I’m guessing Val is ordering everyone out. I can hear gunfire inside the club and my heart drops, fucking Shelby’s in there. I get off of the man on the floor and turn around to the last one standing, I kick his chest and he falls onto his back I grab my knife tightly and plunge it into his chest and heart, I twist the blade around before pulling it out if he’s not dead already he will be in 30 seconds.
I run back inside and am met by total chaos, people running to try and get outside, bullets flying and bodies falling, Jax is going to shit the bed when he gets the call. I spot Shelby at the bar and I feel a weight off my shoulders, I run over to her and order her to hide under the bar like she used to when we worked here. I grab my pocket knife and wipe the handle clean before turning around to find my next victim, I know some of my men are still here just Blade and a few prospects the rest left with their flavours of the night awhile ago.
I see a man running at me from the right, I keep walking until he’s less than a meter away from me, once he’s close enough I pull him into me and shove my blade into the back of his neck. He gasps out in pain and I watch the life quickly leave his eyes, I throw his body to the ground and go for my next one. I see someone standing infront of me fighting Blade, I run up and jump onto his back wrapping my arms around his neck tightly. A few hard tugs and I feel his neck snap, his body gives out underneath him and I jump off before he hits the ground.
“Call Jax” I yell out and Blade nods his head reaching for his phone, I really don’t want to tell him but if he finds out that I kept it from him it will be off with my head. The doors swing open to reveal who looks to be the man in charge of all these wild animals “Now now, did you really have to go and kill all my men Harley?” He asks looking over to me. I look behind me and see Blade standing there with a shotgun in one hand and holding his phone to his ear with the other, I grab it out of his hands and walk up to the mysterious man cocking the gun at his head “Tell me how you fucking know me” I bark at him my finger slightly applying pressure to the trigger.
“What has our father never told you about me?” I walk even closer until the barrel of the gun is pressed against his skull, “I suggest you start speaking now” I growl at him “Turns out you’re family, long lost in fact. Same father different mother” He begins to explain. “Why are you here now?” I ask looking over in Shelby’s direction who’s now standing behind the bar staring at us, “Just wanted to meet my little sister and see if the rumours were true. You are just as much as a psycho as they say you are” He grins at me like it’s an achievement to be as fucked up as I am.
“if dad hasn’t spoken to me about you yet then I guess you have little importance in his life. So I suggest you don’t get too comfortable here, and next time you want to meet ‘family’ I suggest you don’t send in your goons to capture me like some fucking wild animal you’ve seen how that just turns out, oh and called me a fucking Psycho one more time and ill show you just how much of a fucking psychopath i can fucking be” I growl at him, I turn on my heels to walk away but he speaks again.
“I suggest you give me some respect” His voice is now lower and more threatening, bitch who even are you? I turn around and give him a look that says ‘Are you fucking stupid?’. “And I suggest you fuck off. I don’t know who the fuck you think you are in your world but in my world, you’re nobody and guess what buddy? You’re in MY world. When you’re ready to talk like a normal person, come and find me and just fucking you this time not your squad of banshees. And I suggest you give ME some respect, my last brother that didn’t died a very, VERY painful death” I smirk at him move backwards still aiming the gun at his head, i pull the trigger and the bullet flys past his head “That’s a warning, here’s another one. I don’t fucking miss when it counts”.
