The Fight & Abuse: One:
Roy had a Business Interview as an Artist at one of the Graphic Arts Company in Atlanta, & he was steamed afterwards that he didn't get it, he hopes that he doesn't lose his temper at Kit, once he gets home, cause if he does, he won't be able to stop.
Roy (thinking): Let me just get through tonight, & hopefully be a better person to Kit, cause she deserves it.
Kit in the meantime, managed to calm down, she cooked up a great dinner, & cleaned up the house, the way Roy liked it, she also hopes that he is in a good mood, & that the day was great for him.
Roy came home on time that evening, sat down, & ate the wonderful meal that Kit created, he complimented her on how great the house looked, he said to her this about the supper.
Roy (smiling): Honey, This is a great supper, you done it again, I can't think of a better meal.
Kit (smiling): Thanks, Sweetheart, It was really nothing, I am so glad you liked it.
They ate the wonderful meal, & during dessert, Roy filled Kit on that he didn't get the Interview, & she went up to him to comfort him.
Roy (warning): Stay away, Kit, when I get like this; I need to be alone for a while.
Kit (confidently): You need a bigger company, You need to look harder, then your problems will be solved for you.
Roy (warning): I am warning you, Kit, stay away, You don't believe in me, I can't support you, just because you have a job, you can support us forever, Is that what you are saying?
Kit (taken back): No, Honey, I think that you need some confidence, if you have that, you can nail any interviews, I think that if you get help, you can make a success out of yourself.
Without any further warning, Roy pushed her hard, & she fell against the wall leading down the steps, he said this with venom.
Roy (venom): You think I need help! You are the one who get help with your listening! I told you not to push me, & see what happened!
She stood up, & trying to hold back the tears, she said this to him.
Kit (emotional): I am saying this, cause I love you, Baby, I gave up everything for you, I want to be with you, I am so sorry for what I am doing to you.
Roy (mocking crying & angry): Don't make me feel guilty for you! It's your fault, I am like this, you stupid Bitch!
He knocked her down, & she fell down the long path of steps, all the way to the end, he looked down, & was momentarily shocked, & then he went to "The Boar's Nest" to get drunk.
Meanwhile, Kit moaned in pain, & was crying hard for herself, & for Roy, she knew that he needed to cool down, & then she knew that he would get her, she has to get back to the farm, but, the other part of her feels like he wants her to be his slave, & if she doesn't deliver what he wants, he will kill her, she just hopes that her family isn't too mad at her to let her stay, she thought to herself.
Kit (thinking): I need to get the hell out of here, & get back with my family, I don't deserve this, no woman does, & I hope that Pamela could forgive me for what I did.
She got up slowly & got her keys, she got into her car, & drove fast along the route back to her family's farm that evening, she got there, & Pamela answered the door, she just hugged her, & cried, Pamela comforted her, & knew what happened, she said this to her cousin.
Pamela (soothingly stroking her cousin's hair): Don't worry, Cousin, I am not going to let that bastard hurt you ever again, you are home & safe, let's go inside.
The older Dukes came into the Living Room, & were surprised & shocked to see the scene in front of them happen, Pamela filled them in, & they were angry, Kit blamed herself, & Pamela & the others got angry with her. They had a major confrontation.
End of: The Fight & Abuse: One:
Balladeer: What are the Dukes going to say to her to make her realize it's Roy's fault, not hers? How are they going to take care of Roy? How are the Dukes going to protect Kit from her? Rev up the "General Lee", & you don't want to go the Fridge now, Friends, The next chapter of: Nightmare is next, You all stay put, you hear?
