Chapter 8

Gifts

Sapphire was very pleased to the stuff she bought. She even opened her bag and found even more Moolah. Betty Sue must have put it in there too and from the looks of it, Sapphire's whole fist couldn't even hold it all. She must have got paid so much for that job, but that's one thing Sapphire wouldn't do. With even more Moolah, she spent more of it, pleasing herself. She bought a brown leather belt, which had can holders for first aid bottles or anything else. It even had better, more secure holsters for her pistols. Plus, a small bag was attached to it too. She bought a sharp knife and an arm-band that fastened around the top half of her right arm. The knife fitted in it perfectly in it. She bought it just in case she loses any ammo or runs out of it. And, giggling to herself, she bought herself a cowboy-like hat, which was feather-light and light brown. She did deserve this.

Throwing her bag over her shoulder, she walked out, smiling to herself and then she noticed something that wasn't right. She looked over her shoulder.

The town was empty, bare-empty and nothing was seen. She thought, and then pondered harder. Where was everyone? Whatever it was, she knew it wasn't important to her. They may have some kind of Town meeting. Irwin told her about those, but only few towns in the Western would do that. This must be one of them. She sighed deeply and turned around.

A looming body lingered over Sapphire and when Sapphire saw who it was, she practically screamed, but Bart's hand snapped at her throat, squeezing it tightly and forced her to stumble backward. She stopped when she felt her back smash against the stone, cold wall behind the General Store. She gasped, feeling her mind going. Bart grabbed Sapphire's new hat and threw it onto the ground, revealing Sapphire's eyes. She looked up, panic deep in her eyes and he leaned forward closely.

"Why the fuck did you bag The Looten Duke?" Bart cried out, raging.

"It was an accident!" Sapphire gasped, struggling in the crushing hand of Bart. Her heart was pounding hard against her chest. She tried to prey his fingers apart to allow her to breath, but they were very strong hands and burned the muscles in Sapphire's arms just to pull. No effect was made.

"An accident? He was my Bounty! What the fuck are you anyway?" He snarled, tightening his grip. Sapphire cried out.

"I'm just a Slig, just like you! I'm not a Bounty Hunter! Look, I'm sorry!"

"Gimme my Moolah! It's mine!" Bart ordered.

"Let go off me first, you bastard!" Sapphire replied sharply, her voice suffocated with the lack of breath. Bart released Sapphire's throat and she took several deep breaths and rubbed her neck. It was burning from his grip.

"So, where's my Moolah? Or did you spent it and decorated yourself with it?" He hissed.

"Listen, if this is about that Clakker with my bag, I took it." Sapphire murmured.

"Like I give a fuck. I just want the Moolah." Bart muttered, his palm out to Sapphire demandingly. She looked and noticed his Revolver was in the other hand. Sapphire sighed deeply.

"Okay, okay…" She opened her bag and fished her hand in it. Bart watched as she pulled out a box that was tied up. "I placed it all in here, just for you, because I like you so much…" Sapphire said, but she sounded too weary to make the effort at sarcasm. He snatched it off her. She watched as he shook the box violently. It made a noise and he turned to Sapphire, who was trapped at the corner by Bart, like a small Chippunk trapped by it predator. He spun around and pinned Sapphire against the wall. His fingers pinched her arms and she moaned sharply, glaring at him venomously. He leaned to her again, this time, he pushed his head against Sapphire, in extreme close zone and Sapphire had less breathing space and she shivered in his grip.

"Listen you little bitch, these Clakkerz are gone back to their homes because they know something's wrong. I think you would like to know, they know that I'm pissed off. So, they run and hide, because if I'm pissed off, everything is in danger."

"Wow, we have so much in common already." Sapphire pointed out without enthusiasm. Bart growled.

"Don't piss me off, you won't like me if I'm angry and next time you make me this angry, you're in the deep shit, got that?"

"Yes Master…" Sapphire sarcastically said lowly. He released her and kept glaring eyes on her. He turned around and bent down. He grabbed the hat and tossed it aggressively at Sapphire. She managed to catch it. He said nothing, but only glared at her. She brushed the dust off her hat and placed it back on. She walked away, as Bart and Sapphire glared at each other until they both disappeared around the corner. Sapphire walked to the path out of Buzzaton down south to New Yolk City as Bart walked back towards Buzzaton Bounty Store. He glared at the box and thought for a moment. Suddenly, he snapped the string around it and took the lid of it. What he didn't see was his Moolah, but he saw something. He dipped his fingers in it and took out a small bunch of condoms, which didn't amuse him. He snatched a small paper note inside it and opened it.

Dear Bart,

Sorry, I've accidentally used your Moolah to buy condoms for you. These will be very useful for a horny bastard like you. Enjoy them. Always use a condom!

Lots of love,

Sapphire

A small ink-coloured heart was drawn next to her name. Bart crushed the box in his hand, threw it down and began to stamp on it, extremely pissed off as he raged at the crushed box.

"Little Bitch!"

XD Always use a condom dudes and duddettes. Well, at least Sapphire bought something useful for Bart, but I think he has other ideas to use his Moolah instead of condoms. Boy, Sapphire's becoming more risky. One day, she will be in so much trouble. Heh, well, let's just hope Sapphire doesn't see Bart while he's in his bad moods

The next chapter should come up very soon :D
