Sorry it's so short peoples.
I feel rough fingers push a strand of hair from my face and blink, regretting letting the sun slip past my lids. I groan and throw an arm over my eyes, groaning at the dull pain shooting up and down my arm. Everything hurt, every fucking thing. My arms, my legs and my vag. I risk opening my eyes again, letting my eyes adjust with a lot of effort, and see Lizard sitting beside me, his head on the side of the blood soaked bed. He was asleep, sniffing a little. Goggle was the one that brushed the hair from my eyes and I acknowledge him, smiling.
"Knew that wake ya. Don't take much…" he whispered, looking over at Goggle warily.
I swallowed hard. "Well yeah, never been a deep sleeper. Where is my baby?"
"She down with Mama. Big Brain wanted to see har."
I started to sit up, fighting through the pain to do it. "What the hell? He hates me, why would yo-Lizard get the fuck up and move out of my way." I pushed him, making the chair he was sitting in tilt and fall.
His head popped up angrily. "The fuck wha' that fer?"
I ignored him, jumping from the bed and wrapping the bloody sheet around me. Poor Goggle, he was as red as a tomato since he saw all my lady bits. Any other situation I would have laughed, but right now I was in no joking mood. I hurried through the hallway and down the stairs, having to go extra fucking slow because of the length of the sheet. That's all I needed to do, break my fucking neck trying to get to her. My little Isabel…
My feet hit the floor and I turned on my heel, stopping in my tracks when I saw Big Brain smiling at the baby. He had a finger lifted and was curling it the best he could under her chin, making her giggle and snort like a good baby should. He smiled wider, his missing and cracked teeth shiny with saliva. I took a tentative step forward into the room, wanting to be closer to my baby but not wanting to do anything to mess this moment up. But it was of no use, Big Brain heard me and looked up, his smile going away and his hand falling down to dangle over the side of his chair. Big Mama noticed and turned around in her chair, smiling and easing to her feet.
"There ya are. This little girl has been an angel, let me tell ya." She bragged, holding out my baby to me.
I smiled, knotting the sheet so it wouldn't fall and took my baby into my arms. She stared blankly at me for the longest minute then her face lit up in the most beautiful smile I had ever seen. It made my heart soar and I couldn't help but smile, kissing her clean forehead. I held her closer to my chest when I heard the front door slam shut, twisting and hissing at the figures in the doorway. The little boy hid behind Missy and I relaxed, loosening my hold on my baby.
"H-Hey. Who's is that?" Amber asked, moving forward cautiously.
I know she was still cautious and shaky since we got her from the tunnels and it made me move slower with her. "This is Isabel, she's my daughter."
Her eyes snapped up to me. "You gave birth?"
"No, that's a sack of potatoes. Amber really?" Missy stepped forward, holding onto the hand of the little boy at her side. "I'm so happy for you Dizzy, we would have been here sooner but we had to drive to the next town over and get my son. Meet Clyde." She nudged the boy forward and he stumbled, staring up at me with big brown eyes.
I smiled gently and crouched, pain rippling through me. "Hi there Clyde, you wanna see Isabel?"
He nodded slowly and took a step closer, looking at Isabel with arched eyebrows. He backed up after a moment, into his mom and looked down, a fist held over his lips. I chuckled and stood with a grunt, feeling a hand place itself on my hip. I smiled up at Lizard, saw he wasn't looking at me but at the baby in my arms. There was warmth there, a deep warmth I was so happy to see. I knew he would love this baby, I hoped I could break down that tough wall and get him to open up better. I didn't want that badass mate of mine to be gone completely though so I would have to balance him out somehow.
"We needs to get ready. You ok?" he asked.
There was this tone to his voice now, this sense of authority that was there. "Yeah, here Big Mama. Take Isabel and Clyde, girls follow me. Lizard you stay down here, get everyone else together and we'll meet you back down here in fifteen minutes."
He nodded and walked out the door, Missy pushed Clyde towards Big Mama despite his protests and Amber followed behind her, behind me. I stepped into the bathroom, shed the towel and stepped into the shower while Missy and Amber got comfortable on the counter and toilet. The blast of cold water cooled my clammy skin.
"So what's happening?" Missy asked, all business.
I started to wash away the grime. "Well Papa is dead and were goin out to kill the fuckers that killed him."
The bathroom was silent for a moment. "Well were a part of this now aren't we?" Amber asked.
"Yeah, yall kind of are. Don't worry, Big Mama will keep a good eye on Clyde. She's a dangerous Mama."
"Like you?" Missy asked.
I bristled but continued to bathe. "Yeah, like me."
Was I really that bad? I guess I am but I'm crazy so yeah I kind of am. I never had a happy home, I never had a family that accepted em and loved me like this family did. I wanted to protect them, this was my family and I would do anything to protect it. And now that I had a baby with this family….well no one would get to this family without having to go through me to get to it. They would have to fight me tooth and nail for my family; these people that killed papa would pay for what they did. They would pay dearly. I would torture them for this, torture them for as long as I could.
"Well then we should get ready for war right?"
I stepped out of the shower, looking at myself in the mirror. I had stretch marks on my stomach and I looked thin as a twig but I could feel my strength begging to be let out. "Yeah, Lizard and I are waging war against the humans. I don't know how far this will go but I feel like it will go a long ways. You two best be prepared to get your hands dirty; you are a part of this family now."
They both looked at me, then each other and nodded, standing upright. "Ma'am yes ma'am!" they saluted me.
I chuckled and knocked their hands down. "Alright let's get the fuck out here and get ready."
They chuckled a little and we all left the bathroom, me running to I and Lizards room as fast as possible so no one would see me naked. Missy and Amber just strolled into their room, talking about what weapons they would bring and all that. All I would need was my hands and maybe a knife. I liked to kill with Pluto, he was fun to have come up behind me when I was hovering over a body. Me so tiny and him so large, with that smile and his giant axe. It was a total piss-in-your-pants moment, for the victims anyway. For me it made me laugh and giggle. I thought it was fucking hilarious to see them cower and pretty much cry when that hulking monster came up behind me. Oh that look…
Toned arms wrapped around my waist once I was fully clothed in a tank top and shorts. I rubbed his arms, smiling with my eyes closed and leaning back into his chest. "She's beautiful." I whispered.
"Yeah…you ready for dis?"
I swallowed and turned in his arms, throwing my arms around his neck. "Yeah. My baby is here now, I can't just let them get to her. They'll kill her…but I will kill them first." My voice was full of venom.
Lizard smirked and buried his face in my neck, licking at my throat. My breathing hitched in my throat and I moaned, standing on my tip toes. He chuckled and pulled away, biting at my cheek. I growled and pulled away, running out of the room and then the house. I could hear him behind me but I had already stopped dead in my tracks, eyes wide on the edge of the village.
"Wha…" Lizard went to ask but stopped short, eyes following mine.
"Lizard…we need to hurry."
