As I tug on the cherry stem I smirk seeing yet another gang member unravel under my gaze. Lust filled the space like a poisonous gas and I was the cause. Twisting a curl I find myself growing bored with my game and turn survey the room with little interest. I permit a slightly exaggerated sigh to leave my blood red lips. The others were going to convene later at our usual spot, but I had to deal with someone, something first.

A young gang member with lovely blond locks drew near with timid movements. I glance up at him a small smile forming on my lips. He ran his fingers through his hair blushing profusely. Despite my best attempts I let out a little laugh which only causes him to redden further. His brown eyes resembling a terrified deer while his hands shook with intensity. I pat the seat beside me seeing him exhale in relief.

"Dear, how old are you?" I push a wild curl out of his face feeling embarrassment burning on his skin.

"Fifteen miss" He stutters. I shake my head rolling my eyes at his gang leader.

"And, what exactly were you suppose to procure when you came over here?" I mock knowing the answer. I am no fool and this was not the first time.

"You… They told me if I could get you to come over I was in the gang." He mutters hanging his head in shame.

I lift a brow and move closer to his ear placing a light kiss on his neck.

"How about you return with a kiss instead?"

His eyes grew wide as I take his face in my palms pressing my lips upon his own. His mouth felt clumsy against mine and I smile deepening the kiss feeling his hands hover around my waist like a true gentleman. They didn't demand. They waited for permission knowing I was in total control. Leaning into his hands I feel him take my waist and travel to my neck holding me closer. He tasted young and minty like he must have had a mint directly before he came over. Breaking our embrace I smile at his innocence.

"You can grow up to be a great man." I whisper.

"No. I have no courage."

Kissing his cheek I shake my head.

"Courage is found in unlikely places."

Giving him one last final kiss I stand moving to the back of the bar grabbing a glass and filling it with some milk.

"Welly Welly Welly Well, what a grand show that was. Tell me, does your malchick know you're fillying with other droogies?"

I turn seeing the boy in white giving him a tart face.

"Fancy meeting you here little Alex." I circle him my simper tone irking his nerves.

"Would you accompany me outside love?" He hooks his arm around my own as we move to the exit.

Our bodies cast dark shadows as the moon hits the alley. I crack my knuckles observing the world around me planning escape, but never letting my eyes leave his. He stood watching me with interest. His body language relaxed as if he really believed he had the upper hand. The thought caused the sides of my lips to twitch.

"What precisely is it you want Little Alex?" I lean against the wall in boredom waiting for an explanation.

"I find you very interessovating." He smirks a smirk that infuriates me as his hand caresses down my body. My blood boils and I grab his throat pressing hard.

Slinging his body against the brick wall I take out my knife holding it to his throat.

"I find your mere presences to taint the very air I breathe. I do not have the time nor desire to converse with you boy so I'll make this quick. If you ever attempt to hurt my droogs again I will obliterate you. Do you understand boy?"

His eyes burned with fury as I give him one final shove to the ground.

HI!

So, I have no idea what is wrong. I rarely have issues with writers block, but this chapter just felt like it was dragging on. Here is a quick one just because I felt super guilty for not updating. I am really enjoying writing 23-42-17-9 so Mockingbirds maybe getting fewer updates. I really don't like updating if I don't have good content and I would rather wait to write one kick ass chapter than have multiple ones like this. Sorry this one sucks… Feel free to verbally abuse me in the reviews.
