Rocket's Reality

Chapter 3: Amber's Secret

Babydoll turned the volume up a little higher on the old style radio and began to sway before raising her hands above her head and slowly running them down the sides of her body, while she turned to face Blue with her eyes barely open.

Without him realizing it he started to tap his right foot in tune with her quickening sway along with her dreamlike stance. Once all of his focus was concentrated on her his eyes slowly glazed over until he was in a trance without noticing. Unfortunately Rocket had also been consumed by Babydoll's majestic movements, though not nearly as completely as the all powerful Mr. Jones.

Babydoll's eyes quickly went to the closet door then back to Blue as she continued her sway. The slight movement snapped Rocket out of her minor state of mind, she rubbed the bridge of her nose before she brought her left hand up to the right side closet door and pushed slightly.

It was a cluster fuck, as soon as she opened the door and stepped out with her gun pointed at Blue the music stopped. Babydoll put her hand over her mouth in an 'oh no' movement when Rocket pulled the trigger of her machine gun, the bullet entered Blue's right shoulder causing him to spin in a half circle and fall to the floor.

"Boss!" C.J. shouted when he heard the deafening explosion of a gunshot in the room over. Sweet Pea stood behind him and Gene as they rushed to the door separating the girl's rooms. She grasped her sister's bayonet in her hand and plunged it into Gene's spine, C.J. turned back to see what the yelling was about to witness blood pouring down his partner's back in massive amounts as Sweet Pea pulled the blade back out and continued to stab Gene as he flailed about on the floor face down. Crimson fluid speckled her face and upper torso, Amber slid forward on the mess until she grabbed Sweet Pea's arm and drug her off of the now writhing in death coils Gene.

"You fucking cunt!" C.J. called out as he removed his .45 pistol from his under his coat, aiming it at Sweet Pea and Amber. As he pulled the trigger the door behind him flung open and knocked him forward causing his aim to be off and he missed both of the girls. He almost fell but caught himself.

"Blue, we need to get the hell outta here," C.J. spouted as he righted himself and shoved Rocket on to the ground where she landed on her tail bone, but still held onto her machine gun. C.J. ran past her, picked up Blue, slung him over his shoulder and exited the room into the hallway, without slipping in the now huge pool of blood from Gene. All Babydoll could do was help Rocket back to her feet with a large smile.

"Well now what?" Sweet Pea asked Babydoll. An ear shattering scream was heard in Sweet Pea, Amber, and oh Blondie's room.

"Oh my God what in the hell happened Sweet Pea? No never mind Jesus Christ is this what you call a plan…" Blondie had uncovered her head and witnessed Gene's body lifeless on the floor as she lost it. "You're all going to burn in Hell for this all of you." She complained.

"Whatever, Blondie, you could have at least helped and MAYBE just MAYBE they wouldn't have escaped. But oh no you wouldn't want to get your precious hands dirty now would ya?" Amber mouthed.

"Damnit okay okay now what?" Sweet Pea stood above the corpse and looked to her sister.

"Good job Sweet Pea." Her sister patted her on the shoulder to which she tried to hand her back her bayonet. "Better keep it we ain't outta the woods yet," she spoke with a mild laugh. Amber hugged Sweet Pea then released her as she used her thumb to try and wipe some of the blood from her face with a smile.

"First time's the toughest Sweet Pea, Rocket, I never said this, but besides Babydoll's accidental murder that's why I'm here…" Amber quietly stated. Everyone looked to her, even the useless Blondie.

"I killed my brother for trying to um do things to me…" Amber started "it wasn't just once since I was fifteen he would do things not only sexual but painful. He even tried to make it seem as if I committed suicide but he left the razor blade in the bathroom while I was naked bleeding out in the tub," she pulled down her leather bracers to show two long scars traveling along her wrists up toward her elbows. "Unfortunately for him I wasn't ready to die, so I took that razor blade, stumbled downstairs, and caught him drunk. I slit his throat from ear to ear…heh." Amber blushed and turned her face to the ground shying away from the rest of them.

"Why did you hide it for so long? Even from me YOUR girl?" Sweet Pea inquired cautiously as she went to a sink and washed the blood from her angelic face. Babydoll stood one hand on her hip with Rocket's left arm slung over her shoulder, before all of them took a break from standing and sat down on Sweet Pea's bed.

"I could use a cigarette," Sweet Pea slyly spoke. Babydoll, Rocket, and Amber started to laugh. "And I thought sex was somethin, hah." Sweet Pea's body still shook with adrenaline as she sat next to Amber, knife in hand.

"Don't do what I did and get addicted sweetie," Amber stroked Sweet Pea's cheek.

"What exactly does that mean, Amber?" Babydoll had finally spoke up as she rested her head on Rocket's shoulder.

"You're all screwed up in the head and belong in here!" Blondie shouted as tears ran down her face and she wept silently. The four turned towards her and smiled.

"You may THINK we belong here but in all reality we were put in to very uncommon circumstances and got fucked over, that's the way I see it," Rocket tried to explain but this only brought on a fresh whining from Blondie.

"Don't bother with her she has proven to be useless to our cause." Amber said.

"Well what exactly did we gain by that mess?" Blondie wondered still crying.

"This." Babydoll simply stated as she held up the key and chain that used to hand around Blue's neck, now a light red from the small spray of blood that had came from the bullet wound to Mr. Jones.
