Chapter 21 - Ebony
It made me sick to see them all like that, so happy, so in love, all reunited into one big happy family. It wasn't as if Amber even deserved it after what she had done with Jay, and yet she had Bray and a son, who did I have?
Gradually the Mallrats began to filter out of the entrance of the mall to get on with their daily lives, I moved to leave for my morning retreat to the beach. I felt that the few hours I could spend escaping it all was the only thing holding me together, and today I needed that peace and tranquility more than ever. However, just as I got to the entrance Bray stepped in front of me,
"Ok Ebony?" he asked sounding concerned
"Fine" I snapped not happy to be stopped and especially not by him "You having a nice time playing happy families?" I asked spitefully.
A stupid grin spread across his face "Yeh" he said. It was sickening, Amber was actually going to get away with two of my men in two days, how dare the bi!ch, I would show her.
"I hope it lasts," I said sweetly "Maybe now Amber can keep her hands off Jay," I told him innocently but I knew my intentions were anything but innocent.
"Keep her hands off Jay?" Bray echoed sounding slightly worried
I smiled: it was just too easy "Didn't she tell you?" I asked "She couldn't resist stealing my man, again" with that I stalked out leaving Amber to deal with her own mess, I know it was spiteful and mean but it was time little miss perfect and nice got some comeuppance.

I stayed low in the undergrowth on the edge of the beach watching her, he had said she went there everyday and today was no exception. He hadn't said why it was so important that I do it here, just said it was, who am I to question him? But when I saw her standing there and knew she was mine I didn't care where I did it, just that I did it.
She was stood perfectly still, her head tilted slightly to enjoy the breeze. It was strange, I had never seen her as quiet or peaceful as that before, it was as if she was trying to absorb the calm around her. She should, it would be the last calm she would have for a long time if I had any thing to do with it. In my mind I imagined myself giving her hours of pain, like she had made me suffer: I could almost taste the pleasure in my mouth. She would pay for everything she had done to me, oh yes she would pay.
Then suddenly it was time, time for action not thoughts, time for revenge, I stood up and began to accelerate out of the undergrowth.

I sat in the ferns watching her stand on the beach, she looked so beautiful and at peace, it was almost enough to make me forget to wonder why she came to the beach, but not quite. Everyone had wondered for a long time where Ebony disappeared to every morning, now I knew, she went to the beach. But that still didn't answer the question of why she went to the beach, what drove her away from the mall to the solitude of the beach?
As I prepared to return to the mall I suddenly saw a figure burst out of the undergrowth towards Ebony, and whoever it was didn't look friendly.
