Never felt so low
Chapter six-To satiate the need for sleep (after a night out on the town)
By The Opal Jade aka Slaya
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Sooooooooo tired. Blink had the power of super speed. But so quick. She stood behind her name. I am dead tired in my bed. I got some light wounds from the robot blades.
I really learned a lot. Blink did not treat me like a kid.
She saw how powerful I was. Finnaly. Someone realised. I was looking at my new books. It was decided that I go to the softmore classes. Not a biggy. I will eventualy manage.
A paper slides down the floor and underneath my door.
I pick it up.
It says:
«Come behind the stables at midnight tonight. We re gon have a good time.
D.»
It was Domino. I really got caught with her. She is okay. I can not wait. It is night already. Everybody is somwhere else. I fell asleep.
That way I will avoid anybody who wants to get aquianted (I doubt it, but…) and have lots of energy for tonight.
Shit!
I just realised. I did not have a bite to eat since morning.
I have to eat.
I found some chesee and eggs in the kitchen. And the secret stashes of alcohol. Went back to bed. Said good night to Kitty and Rogue who were there.
-The girl trained with Blink in the danger room on one of the big levels
-Wow. That s really something.
-Yeah, don t I know it.
Those were the words that i last heard from the two of them. Silent, they were watching not to wake me up. They were admireing me. So unreal.
In a couple hours I was sneaking out. Domino was already behind the barn.
-Hey there.
-Hey. What s your poison?
-Pain and blood when you are aready asking. What is yours?
-Smokes, stupid gorgeus men and anything with alcohol. I m thinking…
you discovered the alcohol stashes, right?
-Aha.
-And it took you just one field trip to the kitchen. Congrats! You re one of the best.
You can feel real proud.
The sky was full of stars. It was such a beautiful night. It would be such a shame to miss the opportunity.
-So…are we gonna go somewhere or stay here the whole night?
-What makes you think that we re not gonna stay here all night?
I just look at her and blink a couple of times comedian like.
-Just have a feeling.
-Well…deary. Youre in grave luck, I must say. Caus we re going to explore the darkest, deepest hellholes of NY city. On the dangerous side of this part of town offcourse.
-I am so in.
-You like having fun, right?
-Just never got it enough.
It was damp. Too damp. A whole bunch of guys looking at me and Domino with lust in their eyes. In this part of town I really think that we are the type of women that they have not seen in a long, long time.
It was the bottom of the bottom. And it was fun.
Domino was just telling me about the last Halloween that they had. Chamber went trick or treating around a few houses and scared the shit out of people everywhere.
Kitty was phasing trough walls instead of knocking.
Jubilee made fireworks foe little kidies while Tian (who has the power of self replicating in different versions) went to the local disco along with his five «brothers».
I kinda really did die.
Those were the reasons that Halloween is practicaly banned this year. And Cyclops aka Scott Summers was responcible for that.
-The pole up his ass is the only fucking thing that s holding his spineless spine up in place.
He s the teacher that we all hate and despize.
-How very interesting.
A guy came up to us with his friend. They were trying to pick us up. But the patetic atempt only made us laugh.
-So…what s your poison?
-Well what s yours sweet cheeks?
-Booze, street fights an her.
She shows me. I make a cute little smile as Domino grabs my hand in a way that ordinary friends do not.
The guys back off like they saw the spawn of satan. Pretty cute.
We had crashes with idiots the whole night.
And then we got into the fight. So totally fucking great! I got a fewe bruises, Domino not even as much.
She grabed my hand to pull me out the second that the whole bar got into the fight and forgot all about us.
-It s not interesting when the fuckasses don t look at you and only you.
-So this is a public display.
-Don t pull Freud shit on me. You did it too. You can t say anything. I officially forbid it.
-And what is gonna happen when you loose your luck?
-What?
-You said that it was going to happen one day. How will you deal with it?
-You re one qurious little piece of black and white, aren t you?
-Why yes fair lady Domino of the kingdom Dominia. I am quite a curious little peak.
-I didn t call you that.
-Then what did you call me?
-A curious little piece of black and white. O! This is pure alc spilling out.
-Yeah. I know.
-Do you wanna know where we re going?
-Into a nuder fight?
-No. Well…you never know but for now…..I have a special place.
-O do tell fair lady Domino…
-You re really anoying with the brit accent and so on…
-….empress of fair Dominia.
-….you re really starting to piss me off….you know….
-…the most fairest and beautiful….
-…the whole brit fair and kindom thing, it s just….
-…empress of them all, in all of the kindom of the Dominant republic of Dominia!
-…so fucking full of shit!
We started laughing. It has been a long time. A real long time.
She took me to a strip joint! She was talking about it like it was some deeply philosofical place under the stars.
We were drunk and pretended to be dancers, so we got horny old and sweathy men giving us money for lap dances.
We told them where to go (and the fools went without us), so we got away with the money. And we bought….guess what?
Alcohol offcourse. Now we have our own little secret stash hidden behind the barn. No living person alive could find it there burried under a pile of dirt.
Dawn was rising and singing the new song of reneviewed life as we were sneaking into the manor just as we sneaked out. And no one knew about it.
Caus Domino had luck on her side. And since I was with her….it rubbed off too.
The room is cold. Kitty is sneazing in her sleep. I feel more and more like home. If this can be a home.
The light is crawling on knees inside. It looks like the heavens knocking on the manors door.
The girls start to wake up. They slept all night. And they were so rested.
My eyes were burning, wanting to be closed. So that they do not need to look at anything anymore. So that they, I can fall asleep. And sleep, sleep, sleep.
Sleep….
