Shouts, screams and bad words were all I heard from my room. A conflict I started, as always. Selfish me, I was always so conceited, only thinking about myself, how I wish I didn't but I never did anything to change that.
The conflict, as always, was started over something so stupid, but it ended like the chaos back in 2012. Tonight was over ice cream, I wanted ice cream, my father said no, I pulled a face and the fight started, I cringed at how nasty he talked to me, so I went to my room to then hear my mother getting involved. I heard her shout about how she wishes that we stopped fighting, but it wasn't a fair fight when your hands were tied and you just sat there receiving a beating. All you could really do was try to forget about it.
As I entered my room and landed on my bed I thought to myself "Should I leave?" so maybe, just maybe, they'd be happy. It seems as though I cause all the problems in this household so I might as well.
I phoned my best friend Jenny and asked her for some advice since she always has better judgment. She said "Well Bonnie, I can't say they won't miss you, but they'll get over it. They do love you, I could swear on my soul, but running away would be the best thing. Have fun…as a Killjoy!"
That idea has been in my head since I could remember, was this my chance? I told her to wait a second. I saw mother sleeping in her room and my father was long gone to the bars to drink it up and then give hell to my mother and me.
"Jenny, wanna come with me?"
"You know that I haven't gone anywhere because I can't go at it alone, Bon! Where do I pick you up?"
"The bus stop two blocks from my house, see you then, Power Penny,"
"In a while Bunny Venom,"
I got my duffle bag and packed three skirts, five shirts and two jackets, along with some underwear. I also put in my makeup and bandanas to mask ourselves as Killjoys.
Oh, if my mother knew I was becoming an outlaw, she'd kill me before the Draculoids would have the chance, but in my mind, this was the only way for everyone to be happy, even if it meant living on the streets with the other Killjoys that were wanted.
They were few Killjoys that survived, there wasn't one morning when on the news there was at least one dead, but I never like Better Living Industries, I was destined to becomes a Killjoy and defeat them once and for all alongside Jenny.
I went out the door and ran for two blocks straight until I got to the familiar bench. Five minutes later, Jenny was there. I put my duffle bag in the backseat, made myself comfortable in the passenger seat and turned on the radio to hear The Mad Gear and Missile Kid blasting on the radio.
"California, right?" Jenny asked.
"You know it, babe," I said with a high-five.
Overnight, we somehow made it from Phoenix to California. I had slept half of the way, leaving Jenny all alone during the night and made me feel terrible so I offered to buy her coffee at the gas station when we arrived at California.
"And, pay for gas as well," she smirked.
"Fine," I said and got off the car to go in to the mini market. I bought us coffee and some blueberry muffins since I was starving, but while I was looking for the muffins, I saw this tall, slim boy looking at me, or so I thought since his eyes were covered in sunglasses. I ignored it and went to pay for the stuff.
I signaled Jenny that I payed and right when I was heading out the door I heard "Allow me, miss,"
It was from the same weird boy. He had blonde hair on top, but his sides were brown. It looked rather weird, but I found it fascinating.
"Thank you," I murmured, embarrassed, as he opened the door for me.
He followed me and asked "May I know your name?"
I hesitated "Uh, Bunny Venom," I wanted to hit my forehead at how stupid that sounded out loud.
"Nice, I'm Kobra Kid, are you new in town? I would've recognized your face,"
"Yes, I'm from Arizona. I've actually think I've heard about you," Why couldn't I get faster to the car?
"Oh, wicked, and yes, I'm wanted. Do you need any help getting around? Because I could help you,"
I stopped in my tracks and finally looked at him. "Accept help from a stranger?"
"Well, Killjoys got to help each other. You are a Killjoy, right?"
"No, I'm a nun. Of course I'm a Killjoy, bonehead,"
"I couldn't guess with your skirt, sorry. And you know Killjoys don't pay for anything, right? That's the whole point of outlaws," he smirked and I noticed how serious he was until then.
"Sorry, but for me it's to early to be stealing and does being a Killjoy means I can't wear skirts?"
"Not at all, it's just the first time I see one,"
"Well Kobra, I wouldn't mind the help, but what's the catch?"
"It's Kobra Kid and-"
"Well I just called you Kobra,"
He smiled, wow what a beautiful smile! "There's no catch, we actually just need more Killjoys around in our hideout, but this isn't such a safe place to talk about it,"
"Well, it's not just me, my friend Power Penny comes with me, it's all or nothing,"
"I think there's enough room. Is it a yes then?" He asked hopeful.
"Hmm, let me go ask her," I finally got to the car with a few more steps and introduced Jenny to Kobra and vice versa, and Jenny agreed.
"Great, mind if I ride with you?"
"Assault us and you die," I warned and he smiled yet again.
"Trust me; I have no intention to,"
AN: Review please, tell me what you think! I'll appreciate it loads and I'll send you some blueberry muffins :)
