Chapter Seven: Devil Meets Devil
Later on that night, Veronica found herself slipping into a more modified costume. Though it kept its same style with a flexable form fitted bodice, elbow length gloves and knee high boots, she upgraded from using that thin vinyl strap of a tail to a real whip that she bought a while back for more...personal...uses.
"I never thought Id actually be using this thing again..."
She said looking at it as she tied it around her waist, leaving a longer piece to hang down in the back to have that sort of 'tail' effect.
"Ok Angelo, you gotta stay home while mommy goes and makes some money so she doesnt get her sexy little butt killed by her crazed stalker man, okie dokie?"
She said, making little kissie faces to the cat as he just yawned and laid his head back down. And with that, she was already out the window, sliding down the fire ladder railing and dropping down into the alley along the side of the apartment complex.
"Uuuh...now wait, if this is Spring Garden...the bank is like...3 blocks...that way? Wait...what street is it even on?"
She stood in the alley for a moment trying to figure out where the bank even was, it wasnt her fault she was new to all this.
"Great, I can tell right now this is going to be more hasstle then I wanted..."
"Ya look lost."
"Hm?"
She turned around, not thinking anyone was with her. But low and behold it was everyones favorite stalking assassin. She narrowed her eyes.
"What do you want?"
She spat angrily only to make him laugh as he walked up to her.
"Well...look at you. And who are you supposed to be? Devil Lady?"
He smirked, walking around her with a tempted shitty grin playing his face.
"Im only doing this to get you to leave me the hell alone!"
"Hm...Oh I get it...since your a little Jersey girl, you must be a little Jersey Devil then, aint ya?"
"Jersey it is then."
"Just get out of my way already!"
She said angrily, pushing him to the side as she began to walk off only to have a tight grip come around her wrist.
"You didnt ask nicely...thats gonna cost ya."
He growled, pulling her back as he swung her backwards hitting against the side of the building. He calmly walked up to her, his hands shoved into the pockets of his trench coat. Veronica winced "this is a lot harder then I thought" as she moved herself up from te wall, her back now screaming and acheing from the sudden burst of pain. Before she could step away from the wall, her stepped infront of her and thrusting a hand against the wall on each side of her head just trapping her there she found herself backing up to the wall again.
"What do you want? Why dont you just leave me alone?!"
Oddly enough, she started to feel a little scared right about now. She has never been confronted like this before...but then again she has never been in trouble like this before. She looked up only to find pale icey blues staring her down in return.
"I told you I'd get the money! I'll even get extra! Ok?! Please...?"
"Its not a money thing anymore...never was really, you were more less given to me after ya pist off the boss man. Your just free for play..."
"For play...?"
Again with that shitty look washing over his face. She shook her head, with one heel she stomped on his toe and reached up grabbing his wrists and pulling his hands down violently which was followed by the rest of his body while she pulled one knee into his face and pushed him back. With a quick snap in her wrist she pulled the whip off her waist with a loud crack. He stumbled back a few steps, then containing himself he stood up looking at the woman as a couple drop of blood came from his nose.
"Such a cute fighting technique...you learn it from the Jerry Springer show or what?"
"Least I got first hits..."
"I suppose mine doesnt count then...?"
"Huh?"
He smirked, tapping his finger on the side of his neck as he looked at her. She shook her head, raising her arm as the whip snapped out cracking open the fron bubkle of his belt as little shuriken stars came falling out at his feet.
"Try to pick em back up, and I'll wrap this around your neck and leave you to hang..."
His eyes glared, but little did she know that anything he picked up was a potential weapon. He quickly reached down picking uo a random shard of glass and flung it at her, cutting her hand open as she dropped her whip. With a bit of a cry, she grabbed her hand with the other tightly and looked over at him. He only smiled.
"Y'know...for someone whos new to all this you can take a hit pretty good Baby."
"Who the hell are you anyway?! You do you like picking on women or is it just me you seem to find joy in hurting?!"
"Me? 'heh' I'm Bullseye...and...yes, it is just you that I enjoy hurting..."
Bullseye said, sounding rather proud of himself in fact as he took a slight bow taking the black beanie off his head and looked to her to see the end of a whip come flying at him and cracking across the side of his face to leave a rip in the skin from the corner of his lip across his cheek to the top of his eye. He immediately grabbed his face and out of a shear burst of painful anger...threw the hat at her... Veronica blinked after getting hit int he face with a
"What the fuck do you call that?"
She said, her whip gripped tightly in one hand as she held the hat in the other.
"For that Im done playing with you!"
"Huh?"
He now ran at her, tackling her onto the side of the building again as he held her there. Her arms were pressed too tightly to her sides for her to move them at all and her legs didnt seem to serve much purpose either, he pretty much had her pinned. Until a foot came to the back of his head. Who could it be but none other then the man in the red suit before. She was saved? By the same man who she has found to be a bigger annoyance then her land lady?
"Your..."
She said, looking up at him as he turned his head to her.
"You should go..."
"But I..."
"Just go!"
Uh oh! The suspense...kinda...no one really cares anyways. ::sigh:: But you do? Right? Thats why yu are reading this, isnt it? Cause you care? Wll I care about you too...and to show how much you care, REVIEWS!!!
