My baby's been on the run.
Luz sleep was interrupted when someone started banging on the door with so much force it rattled the hinges. Cursing she got up from her comfortable bed to see who was disturbing her sleep. Not before grabbing her trusty red bat.
Throwing open the door she pointed at intruder with her bat. A threat on the tip of her tongue before her eyes registered exactly who it was on the other side.
"Amity?"
Amity stood, arms crossed. That luscious green mane as fluffy and as shiny as ever despite the late hour.
"We need to talk." She clipped before walking down the hallway.
The tanned girl carelessly slammed the door shut before following Amity into the kitchen. "What?"
"I am going to kill Belos."
Americano and a loaded gun.
Amity leaned against the car and sipped her Americano coffee. Warm liquid passed her throat and settled in her stomach. The hot beverage doing wonders to fight the cold night air.
Luz stood shirtless beside her, taping her makeshift fiber glass body armor against her body. The green haired girl chugged the last of her coffee, throwing the cup inside the vehicle.
Amity lifted the back of her shirt to take out her pistol out of her pants. Fingers running over the smooth metal as she checked how many bullets she had for the 100th time.
Amber eyes strayed from the weapon to drink in her companion's tanned skin and lean body.
She's a baddie with a brain and she loves the hunt so
Luz knew Amity was checking her out. They had fooled around enough to know the feelings they felt towards one another were not platonic. Unfortunately, being members of a feared gang put a dapper on romance.
Especially when they plan to kill the most notorious gang leader Belos.
So I'm thinking that my time is done
Slipping her shirt over her amor Luz checked over her pistol before shoving it in her pants.
Amity giggled. And sauntered up against the taller girl's front. Her hand reaching down to cup the bulge the gun had made. "You happy to see me Noceda?"
The latina couldn't help the amused smile that creeped onto her face. Rolling her eyes she playfully shoved Amity out of the way as she went to retrieve her other pistol from the backseat.
And if I make it out alive, which I probably won't
Luz couldn't help but lean down a place a searing kiss on Amity's lips. Pouring every once of burning love into that one kiss. Slipping her tongue inside to get a taste that could be her last.
I think I'll marry that girl and we'll hit the road
Luz pulled back and stared into the bright amber eyes she fell in love with when she was just a punk starting out.
Know a little high land on the coast we could go
She dug through her inner jacket pockets to pulled out a small black box. Holding it up between them with a smile.
Amity stared hard at the box before taking it and opening it. Inside was a beautiful shining purple amulet. The green haired girl gently took it out of the box to find a string of waxed black leather attached to it.
"I know you can't wear rings 'cause you're always fighting so I figured I'd get you a necklace instead." Luz shrugged. The smile never leaving her face. "So what do you say Ames? Will you marry me before we run head on into our possible deaths?"
Amity said nothing and dug through her own pockets taking out a shiny black ring. Holding in her palm for Luz to see. "I'd say we had the same idea."
Luz couldn't help but laugh at that. Warmth filled her chest as she put the black ring on her index finger. It fit perfectly, normally the ring belonged on the ring finger. But these two never did things normally.
They shared another passionate kiss after Amity put on the necklace. The gleaming gem settled perfectly on her chest.
Move fast honey don't get slow
They checked their weapons one last time before nodding to one another. Their expressions serious and grim. They kicked open the heavy wooden doors, knocking back the goons stationed right behind it.
Confused shouts and the loud bang of gun fire followed by the thud of lifeless bodies disturbed the serene silence of the night.
I think I died and woke up in LA
Bullets soared through the air. Blood splattered from one goon's forehead, his body falling to the ground. The gun in his hand clattering to the floor. A pool of his blood gradually becoming bigger.
Luz flipped a table and used it for cover as bullets reduced the office chair a foot away into shredded piles of foam stuffing. Bits of it flying into air.
The latina swatted at the yellow spots of fluff obscuring her vision. She could hear Amity beside her yelling death threats and cackling at the poor souls that found themselves on the business end of her pistol.
Until a yelp was heard. Luz acted on instinct, abandoning her cover and sprinting towards where she last heard her lover. Narrowly avoiding being pumped full of bullets.
Leaping over bullet ridden furniture she was met with the sight of Amity huddled behind a lounge chair with a hand covering her right ear. Crimson blood seeping through her fingers and running down her forearm. Some trickling down her neck and face. Staining her pink shirt.
Luz saw red. With a roar she sprung up and fired off bullet after bullet. Each one finding their mark in some goon's head. Droplets of blood splattered on her face but she ignored it in favor of killing the bastards that dared hurt her lover. Not seeing the goon with a shotgun to her left.
"Luz!" Amity screamed. The ringing in her ear made her stumble as she fought to stand. She raised her gun to fire a shot at the shotgun wielding goon but the injury she suffered threw off her balance. The bullet missed, hitting the pillar next to the goon's head.
Amber eyes widened in horror as the goon took aim and fired. Hitting Luz square in the chest, throwing her back. The girl's body hit the floor with a deafening thud.
Hot tears poured down Amity's face as the ringing in her ears grew silent. Replaced by her screams of utter devastation and bangs from her pistol.
I don't know how I wound up in this place no
Luz groaned. Well, more like wheezed. Her chest felt like it was hit with a semi truck, it took a lot of effort to even breathe properly. Her tongue was dry like sandpaper, she tried swallowing to wet her throat but it did nothing.
Peeling open her eyes was a herculean task in itself. Brown orbs were flooded by blurry lights. At first she thought they were stars but after blinking to clear up her vision she discovered they were store front lights.
"Huh?" She uttered in confusion. The more awake she became the more aware she was of her surroundings. Glancing around the latina found herself in a familiar car with sleek black leather seats.
The memory of the goon jolted her out of her stupor. Her hands fisted her shirt as she lifted it up to check for any injuries. A sigh escaped her when she found her makeshift body armor had taken the most of the shotgun blast.
What gang member uses bird shot anyway? She thought as she ran her fingers over the indents.
Her thoughts came to screeching halt when she remembered Amity's injury. The blood. She bolted upright in her seat and looked to the left.
A sigh of relief escaped her when she seen Amity driving the car. Her ear still bloodied but at least she was alive.
"Amity." Luz breathed. But the girl did not react, her eyes still focused on the brightly lit road. Clearing her throat the latina tried again but a tad louder. "Amity."
I think I died and woke up in LA
The girl whipped her head to the side in shock. Relief showed on her face when she took in Luz's battered appearance. The car swerved dangerously as she reached over to kiss Luz. Cars honking and people yelled obscurities but she didn't care. She had her lover, no fiancé back.
"You're alive! Oh thank god. Luz i thought i lost you!" Amity cried. Luz watched happy tears gather at the edge of her beautiful amber colored eyes.
"I thought so too. I'll have to thank Eda for making the body armor." Luz wheezed. Her trembling fingers brushing a strand of mint green hair behind a bloodied ear. "How bad?"
Amity gently pulled back to focus on the road. "It hurts like a bitch but it's just a graze. My hearing is going to be shit in this ear for a few weeks."
The girl made a sharp turn and pulled into a parking lot. "Come on let's go find a hotel I need sleep."
She asks me how that tastes
Amity half dragged half carried Luz into the hotel room. The Latina's ribs were bruised to all hell but she was glad to be alive and in her fiancé's arms.She groaned when she settled on the bed.
Amity mumbled something before leaving, coming back with a backpack and a black trash bag that carried something. The Latina watched Amity put it in the sink before throwing herself on the bed.
Digging through the backpack she took out a small aluminium box and opened it. Smiling when the joint inside remained intact.
She held the joint in her mouth and lit it with a lighter from the pack. Taking two deep puffs before passing it onto Luz.
I said "Honey A-OK"
Luz gladly accepted and took a few deep puffs of her own.
The couple lay side by side passing the joint back and forth. Eventually their eyes were red and they had a bad case of the giggles. Numb to their injuries.
It feels funny when I close my eyes
Luz felt her eyelids droop with sleep. Her arm seeking out and pulling Amity against her.
Feels like I could touch the sky
I never thought that I would get this high but
The broken mirror says otherwise
She felt Amity shift next to her before soft lips captured her own and trailed down her neck.
I love her cause she's always in the mood
A small noise of approval from the tired latina spurred them on. Her hand fisting the other girl's stained shirt, urging her closer.
I love her cause she's aggressive too
Amity swung a leg over to straddle the tan girl's lap. Luz's breath hitched when Amity sunk her teeth into the soft flesh of her neck. Careful fingers undoing her belt and slowly taking off Luz's ruined shirt and body armor.
She said "How can you sleep doing what we do?"
Amity smiled at the breathy moans coming from underneath her. Her core throbbing steadily. The pain in her ear nonexistent. Her hands sneaking into her lover's jeans, rubbing at her slick center. "How do you love someone that kills on a daily basis? Takes people's lives without a second thought?"
Well I guess I'm selfish when it comes to you
"Ah, I'm not much better. I'm selfish and want you all to myself." Luz stated. Her hips raising off of the bed so Amity could take off her jeans.
Her large hand coming up to wrap firmly around Amity's throat. The black ring pressing into the pale girl's skin. "And I will kill anyone that tries to take you away from me."
I think I died and woke up in LA
The couple woke to the sound of traffic, cars honking and people's high pitched chatter outside their motel window. Groaning they peeled themselves off their lumpy mattress. Sharing a kiss before hoping into the shower together.
To save time of course, despite it being two in the afternoon.
I don't know how I wound up in this place no
After a meal of delicious, greasy street tacos and energy drinks they set out on the road. Luz curiously eyeing the black trash bag that Amity tossed into the backseat car without a care. It rolled around on the floor. Not really rolled like a ball but wobbled like the way a football does when it's dropped and it rolls away before someone runs and picks it up.
It thumped against the door a few times with the sound similar to that of a bowling ball wrapped in cloth.
The latina shrugged and itched at her bruised side through the fabric of her new shirt. The cliche 'I heart L.A' on the front in bold letters, making her look more like a noobie tourist and not the adopted child of a gang leader. Eda 'Owl beast' Clawthorne.
I think I died and woke up in LA
How her sweet nurse of a mother had fallen for such a person as Eda, Luz will never know.
Though the same could be said for her, falling in love with the daughter of two ruthless mafia leaders. Said leaders died in an 'accidental house fire' after they broke the news of an arranged marriage to their daughter Amity.
She asks me how that tastes
Luz couldn't help but stare at her fiancé with a look of total admiration. She always loved women that could kick her ass if they wanted too.
I said "Honey A-OK"
They drove until they were back where they started. An enormous house with a towering spiked fence with a circle of brown in the middle, standing out against the black metal. Hooty, the house security system.
Amity growled softly in the drive seat. "I hate Hooty."
"Aww but babe, Hooty has kept me alive all these years!" Luz teased. Her laugh turning in to a wheeze and then a cough as her ribs expanded.
I think I died and woke up in LA
After getting passed Hooty they pulled up infront of the house. Body guards opening their doors for them as they got out. Amity slung the backpack over her shoulder and took the black trash bag out from the back.
"A present for Eda." Amity said after catching Luz's questioning gaze.
I don't know how I wound up in this place no
"Mami!" Luz called once they were far enough inside the mansion. A deep threatening bark was heard and the sharp clicking of claws rushed towards them.
Luz barely had enough time to react when a huge black blur tackled her to the ground and started drowning her with sopping wet canine kisses. She wheezed from the added weight on her battered ribs.
"King! Get off of her!" Amity scolded. Trying to shoo away the dog without dropping the trash bag.
"Mija?" "Kid?"
Two voices pipped up as they walked into the living room. Camila immediately noticed her daughter's pained expression, raising her voice to call off german shepard. "Rey, bájate de ella!"
King's ears drooped as he slowly climbed off of Luz, who coughed and rolled over onto her left side. Amity falling to her knees next to her to rub comforting circles into her back.
I think I died and woke up in LA
"What happened to you two?" Eda asked. The tall woman clad in a deep maroon colored dress shirt paired with black pants and vest. A yellow tie being the only splash of color. Mismatched eyes staring at Luz on the ground before flicking towards Amity's mangled ear. The tip torn off by the stray bullet. The pale skin an angry red color.
"Belos' gang happened." Luz groaned. Sitting upright once the pain in her ribs subsided.
Eda and Camila shared a look before Camila sighed. "Come with me so I can patch you girls up. Then we need to talk."
She asks me how that tastes
After being treated- And getting smacked with the chancla. Amity was not spared as Camila stated Luz proposed to her so therefore she is her daughter in law- the girls found themselves at a large dinner table.
Luz rubbing her head where the chancla had hit her. Eda snorted and fixed her yellow tie.
"Amity, Luz said you had a present for me?" Eda stated more than asked. Her pupils dilating at the thought of a new shiny present.
"Yes I do actually." Amity reached down and placed the bag on the table before untying it and pushing the edges down.
Eda peered inside and was quiet for a second before letting out boisterous laughter. A smile showed off her gold fang. "Kid if this is your way of asking to marry Luz you sure as hell can! Luz, you chose an excellent wife."
Curious Luz looked inside.
Inside was Belos' head. How his mask stayed on through all that was a mystery. The front was open allowing his face to show, gold horns curled upwards from the forehead. His face frozen in the form of a scream.
Camila shook her head and did the motion of the cross and mumbling a short prayer.
King, the ex drug dog howled in celebration. Jumping up on his hind legs and wiggling in his own form of a dance.
Eda grabbed the Belos' head and snickered. "Wait until I tell Lilly about this."
I said "Baby A-OK", yeah
Luz and Amity sighed in relief as they collapsed on their bed in their room. The latina shedding her clothes except for her shirt and underwear and wrapping her arms around Amity before falling asleep.
Amity waited for Luz to start snoring before moving. Her hand reaching into her pocket and taking out a slip of blood stained paper.
Contract of marriage to Amity Blight
Amber eyes skipped over the middle text to the very bottom to read the signature.
Belos.
