Chapter 7
(The fight Mai and Hunter had was in the night time so a day had passed since then.)
The shot had knocked Mai out. When she woke up her shoulder was bleeding badly. The pain in arm and now in her shoulder was enough to make her want to be dead. She felt so alone. The blood kept flowing and Mai had to do something.
There weren't any clothes of any kind around and Mai needed something to help the bleeding.
Then she realized the only way to recover was to use the only cloth she had, which was the dress.
"I just had to wear this nice dress yesterday, didn't I?"
"Why did I have to wear something expensive?" Mai was very upset that she had to rip something she spent so much money on. Her nice dress ruined by one action. Mai knew it was for her shoulder to stop bleeding, but it was her dress! She even remembered saying the day she saw it; "This dress is to die for!"
Well that certainly wasn't true.
Once she had ripped a piece from her dress large enough to cover her wound she held it on her should. She decided that she didn't want to hold this piece of dress up to her shoulder forever so she tied it around her shoulder and around her under arm. There was still a large bloodstain but at least the bleeding would stop soon.
After about an hour of nursing her shoulder Mai heard footsteps down to her cell again. She assumed that of course it would be Hunter. However as the footsteps came to her cell the face was not that of Hunter but a different man with the same qualities.
Mai waited for him to say something. For a moment he just stared at her with a dirty look. Then finally he spoke.
"Do you have any idea what you did to our boss?" the man questioned.
"Yes actually, I believe I stabbed him," Mai said comfortably.
"THAT ISN'T FUNNY!" the man bellowed. "I'll teach you respect!"
"I think you know what happened to the last guy who attempted to do that."
The man didn't know what to say to that. The last guy (Hunter) was stabbed. And everyone there knows that Hunter was the biggest cheese. Mai had beaten the biggest cheese.
"Stand up you bitch!"
Mai attempted to stand but as she started to put her weight on one of her legs, a piercing pain in that leg stopped her. Mai determined that the fall she had last night when she was shot had injured her leg. At any rate, she couldn't stand on it.
"I can't stand you idiot. I must have sprained my ankle and then slept on it, making it worse."
"Well I guess that's what you get isn't it?"
Mai didn't really have a choice so she put all her weight on her stronger leg and rose to meet the man. Now that she saw his face a little more clearly she could tell that he defiantly was not as evil looking as Hunter. His hair was a dark, dark brown, almost black. But she couldn't tell the color of his eyes because of a lack of light. The most interesting thing about him was that he looked like he wanted to be part of this crazy gang and it looked like he tried to be as well, but he didn't belong in it. He didn't look like a kidnapper. He looked like a regular person trying to be a kidnapper.
Kind of a waste of a perfectly fine person, Mai thought to herself.
"If you try anything tricky I'll be ready!" the man warned.
"Like I'd really try something "tricky" with my wounded leg and shoulder," Mai responded smartly.
Mai could tell the man was not sure what to make of Mai or what to do with her, either.
"Listen lady, I have a gun and I can finish the job that Hunter started."
"Yeah… but then you'd loose your prettiest captive," Mai said starting to enjoy making this man puzzled at what to say to her next.
"Don't test me," he said, but Mai knew that he'd never do it. She was far to good looking for him to hurt her.
"Fine," Mai said tossing her head in the slightest way, "but I want you to know that I will get out of here soon enough."
"We'll see about that."
As he walked off Mai smiled to her. To see someone who wasn't that tough trying to act really tough was actually quite funny and the most amusing thing that she had seen since she had gotten there.
Tea gave Joey and Serenity a ride to her apartment so they could drop-off their things. Both Joey and Serenity were astonished at how beautiful Tea's apartment was. The first floor, which was mainly just a room for the stairs, had chocolate brown table below an oval mirror. The table was perfectly placed and so slim that it barely took up any room. It was just enough to put a few small items on.
The stairs that twisted to the second floor were the same kind of wood as the small table. The second floor was simply beautiful.
The top of the stairs was in the middle of the kitchen area and the living room area. The living room had a yellowish theme to it. On either side of the walls were two matching couches. They were yellow with light blue strips. There was a coffee table in between them and smaller tables off to their sides. Farther into the living room was a balcony that stared over the small town of buildings. The doorway to the balcony was lined with light curtains that ruffled gently in the breeze.
On the balcony were two white wicker chairs and a small white table.
On the other side of the living room was the kitchen, which over looked the living room. There was a refrigerator in the corner and next to that was the microwave and then the oven. Beside the oven was a pantry. There was another counter across from the first one, which held the dishwasher, the sink, and more cabinets. Beside the kitchen area was a small table for eating.
Farther down the hall, were a guest room and Tea's room of which the bathroom was right next-door.
The kitchen was small and basic and so was the bathroom.
"Tea this place is so pretty and so cozy, too!" Serenity exclaimed.
"And it was so cheaper than it looks! I had to have it when I saw it!"
"Ok, Joey, you will be sleeping in the living room and Serenity you are going to sleep on the floor in my room or if you want, you can sleep in the bed with me," Tea explained.
"How come guys never get that offer?" Joey mumbled to himself.
Serenity, who had heard his smug remark, answered him.
"Because you are guy. That's how it works."
Tea laughed lightly. Serenity was such a dear friend to her and always made her feel happy.
"Okay, you guys, Joey, you can put your suitcases in the living room and, Serenity, you can put your suitcases in my room," Tea said as she pointed them to where she was indicating.
After they did as they were told they met back in the middle of the apartment.
"Okay, I was thinking now we could go to Mai's apartment and look for some things that might help us find out where she could be," Tea implied.
"Yeah, let's go," Joey, said as his face again became hard with determination.
Mai didn't know what time it was but the sun was starting to set and it wasn't daylight savings time. Basically it could be any time in the evening.
She sighed. Mai was extremely bored. Her shoulder and her ankle still ached, although she had nursed them the best she could. As she looked at her ankle closely she saw that it was, in the slightest way, beginning to swell.
"Perfect! I got shot in the shoulder, passed out, and now my ankle is getting fat!"
Mai was beginning to get more fed up than miserable. She knew that it wasn't really getting that fat but Mai wasn't feeling very positive.
Mai's mind began to wander to that stupid boy who couldn't shoot her for his life. As she thought about him more she began to realize that that boy was a lot like Joey.
This little 'tough guy' wasn't nearly as attractive as Joey but-
Oh my God! I just called Joey attractive, Mai thought astonished at her thoughts!
"I have to stop thinking about him and start thinking about where I'm going to get some food. I'm starving.
Just then Mai heard food steps coming down the hall. She would have suspected it was the odd boy or maybe even Hunter, but these footsteps were not casually walking towards her cell, they were most defiantly running in her direction. Mai stood up to see who it was.
It was that boy. The one that threatened to kill her but couldn't do it. He was running. He stopped in front of her cell, but skidded across the stone floor barely able to stop.
"What do you want?" Mai questioned certainly not expecting this.
He could only answer her through pants but he replied, "I need to feed you, you bitch. I'd think that you'd be grateful." He threw Mai a stale piece of bread from his pocket as he said this.
Mai examined the piece of bread with disgust and said, "Ok, number one: you want me to be grateful for this! And number two: Have you seen me! I'm thin enough! This is a little piece of bread, I'm frekin' starving!
Once again he was a loss for words. "…Just eat the stupid bread!"
Mai laughed lightly. "What's your name?"
"Why should I tell you?"
"Because I need something to call you."
"Rick. …Just eat!" and with that he 'stormed out'
Mai laughed again after he left. "What a moron."
I am so sorry that it took so long to finish this chapter. My computer is really messed up. It must hate me. Anyway I hope you aren't so mad at me that you won't leave me a nice review?
