You're Not a Bad Person
Chapter 25
Abrupt Ambush
Sapphire had a lack of sleep last night, but she didn't cared. She couldn't sleep because her mind was everywhere. She kept smiling warmly to herself as she flicked her tentacles, giggling. That kiss was sweet. She felt like a small school girl who had her first kiss. She blushed as she rubbed her shoulder. She remembered Bart's body touching against her and thrills burst through her veins. She enjoyed it, no doubt. But she kept that thought to herself. If Bart was luring her into a trap, she has gone further then planned. She wanted more, but that gratefully stopped there. She was outside the Rosebud Inn. She could hear the Clakkerz howling with laughter because of Ruby's jokes. They were so awful, they were funny. Sapphire giggled but then frowned in concentration as she sketched the Clakker family beyond her.
The hot sun blazed down on her page and she smelled the sweet air. Suddenly, when a shadow loomed down before her, she glared up through her fringe to see Bart grinning above. She stopped, sighing deeply and looked at him directly in the eyes. He had a cigarette between his fingers, the smoke clouded over Sapphire and she waved her hand to get rid of it.
"What?" She asked in a soft voice. Bart shook his head.
"Just wondering what you're doing. I'm just getting some crap from the Bounty and General store."
"Good for you," Came a sharp reply.
Bart leaned down, making Sapphire flinched back further away from him, hugging her sketch book closely to her chest.
"You enjoyed last night, didn't yea?" He grinned, taking a huge breath of smoke.
"Erm, well, I'd be lying if I said no," She murmured honestly. He exhaled deeply as the smoke hovered over Sapphire. She frowned and wafted it away again, coughing this time. Bart chuckled darkly.
"Well, maybe you can go upstairs in my room and we can have…a little chat."
"I'm good thanks," Sapphire said, partly urging to take his offer but refused. Bart shrugged.
"Whatever. Don't moan at me if you change your mind." Sapphire and Bart looked to see a female Clakker walking by them. Bart smirked and glanced at Sapphire at the corner of his eye. She was back to her sketching. He grinned and faced the Clakker. "Hey there feathers, you got a nice butt. Let me gimme it a spank." Bart grinned, his voice loud and clear. He glanced at Sapphire again, hoping to get her attention. He did. She was glaring hotly under her fringe, utterly jealous. She watched with eyes of dagger and her cold eyes turned to the Clakker, waiting for her answer.
The hen ruffled her feathers and snorted in disgust, walking away. Bart shrugged.
"Your loss bitch." He murmured and turned to Sapphire, flicking the ash away from his cigarette. She was already walking into the Inn and Bart chuckled. He would pay anyone to get Sapphire angry. It was arousing to watch her temper blow.
The Inn was nearly full of Clakkerz again. But this time, there were a large circle of Clakkerz watching something. In the middle, there was a huge white mat with different coloured circles. Three Clakkerz and Ruby were in bizarre positions, laughing playfully, up and over and under and down. They were playing the game 'Twister'. Sapphire's head was too angry to watch them. As she walked past, the Clakker with the molecule spun the spinner.
"Ruby, left hand green." He smiled. Ruby laughed and twisted herself awkwardly, her head touching a Clakker's back. They trembled in the inflexible positions and the Clakker audience laughed with joy. Sapphire stormed towards the Bar, where Billy and Rose watched chuckling together. They noticed Sapphire's black temper instantly.
"I need something to hit!" Sapphire snarled, throwing her drawing pad onto the chair and snatched a glass from the table.
"Well don't look at me!" Billy replied.
"What's the matter, Darlin'?" Rose asked.
Sapphire inhaled to answer, but she noticed that…there was nothing wrong with her, or was there? She shrugged.
"Bart's being a bastard." Sapphire replied hotly, running cold water over her glass.
"Why, what's he doing now?"
"Bart's trying to get a reaction from me by flirting with some Clakker in front of me." She laughed mockingly. "He's gotta try harder next time!" She guzzled her cold water down and Billy and Rose exchanged glances.
"Darlin', I think he's got what he wanted." Rose said. Sapphire started at her stone-cold.
"What?"
"Well, isn't it obvious? He likes you in a bad temper." Rose explained.
Sapphire stared at her. Yeah, she was right. She could see that dark spark in Bart's eye every time she was in a bad mood. She shook her head. She lost that one easily.
'She has a point there, Sapphire.' Sam's voice echoed in her mind and Sapphire nodded. Sapphire's anger was replaced with a smirk.
"Shut up, Mother." She giggled and Rose beamed.
Suddenly, they were sharply interrupted by a large explosion, making the Inn shake violently. Rose collapsed on the floor. Ruby fell on the Clakkerz and forced them down, a scream of fear escaped her lips. The Clakkerz retreated to the back door and Sapphire gripped tightly onto the edge of the table, tightening her gut to keep her balance.
"What was that?" Ruby asked, getting up. The question was addressed to nobody in particular.
She was answered by a roar of laughter and another explosion. Bombs screamed overhead.
A third large explosion shook the Inn, causing the wood to shiver like a wounded beast. Sapphire hissed a curse under her breath. She gulped silently before announcing: "Shit…it's an ambush."
The Clakkerz looked at Sapphire, horror growing in their eyes.
"What are we going to do?" Billy cried over the racket raised by more laughter and gunshots, the cries from Clakkerz shrieked too from outside.
"You mean what am I going to do?" Sapphire corrected. Ruby turned to her older sister, confusion painted her face.
"What?!" She gasped. Fear flooded into Ruby's eyes.
"Don't Sapphire, you'll die out there." Rose cried out.
"Yeah!" Billy agreed, hugging onto his wife for comfort. "It sounds like a battle or riot out there."
Sapphire turned towards the door, but answered before she left.
"I must protect everyone here. Ruby, stay here!" She roared.
"But Why?" Ruby cried out.
Sapphire's attempt at an answer was drowned out by another explosion from a distance. Sapphire rushed out. The Inn was very sturdy and strong. They would be safe there. Flying crazy bullets flew wildly in the air as Sapphire halted, screaming and crashing onto the floor.
"Stay here!" Sapphire demanded loudly from outside. Her heart was racing wildly as if it was trying to burst out of her chest. She felt her legs carrying her towards her possible doom. She felt like she was floating out of her body in a surreal fashion. She raged off quickly in amazing speed, baffling the Clakkerz. Rose cried out to Sapphire in horror, tears edging on her lashes.
Billy looked over through the window to observe the commotion. His eyes widened, understand the situation now.
"Outlaws…" He hissed. He understood now why Sapphire was determined to fight them. She was too protective to everyone here.
All hell was let loose on the place where the tracks stood.
Clakkerz ran for their lives, followed by shooting outlaws. The Clakkerz took seconds to escape and closed their doors immediately.
And the outlaws battered against them with their guns. They were looking for loot…or something…
Then what took Billy's attention was a large round outlaw, with a large fat rifle under his arm. He was an ugly thing, but he knew his status that he was the boss of these little runts.
He gazed up and saw a fast shadow sneaking along from behind the buildings, her Punisher aiming. He frowned.
"Please be careful Sapphire." He whispered. The large outlaw roared orders around the smaller outlaws. He feared as he knew it was Blisterz Booty. Sapphire crouched down and glared over the destroyed town, her face blank with concentration. She clutched onto her Punisher. Aiming carefully for Blisterz's head, she closed one eye and stuck her tongue out, fixed cautiously.
Suddenly, a smaller Outlaw came up from behind Sapphire and jumped onto her back.
"I got her Boss! I got her-WHOA!" Sapphire grabbed the outlaw and threw him forwards.
"Do you require details?" Sapphire snarled. Blisterz Booty charged towards Sapphire and she stood up slowly, her eyes horrified. "Whoa, no wonder everyone's scared of you…" She murmured. His jaw dropped at the beautiful Slig standing before him, his eyes stuck onto her large breasts. Sapphire stared at his reaction, confusion swept her mind. Blisterz walked towards her, his fat grubby hand out to her.
"Come here beautiful. Blisterz won't hurt you." He said in a soft grumble. Sapphire cocked an eyebrow and snarled.
"I've heard that one before." She murmured drearily. She hurried away, knocking Outlaws and shooting away from members who lunged towards her. Blisterz followed her, panting and Sapphire smirked cheekily at the fat outlaw. "You wanna lose some puppy-fat boss-man." Sapphire commented from the bottom of the road. Blisterz blinked at her then he growled in anger.
"Fat?" Blisterz cried, outraged. "I could crush you like a Bolomite, you little bitch!"
"You have to catch me first, fatty." came the reply. Blisterz aimed his gun at Sapphire. Rose screamed in horror as he shot, but Sapphire was too quick for him and she vanished instantly. Sapphire darted around the broken town, hiding and aiming at Blisterz, hoping to get him drop-dead. She panted, reloading when she took cover. 'Where the hell IS Bart? Isn't he the Bounty Hunter?' She bitterly thought. She got Blisterz in the arm, but that wasn't enough to stop the big guy.
Blisterz made a swipe at Sapphire, hoping to cuff only 'lightly' to her around the head. But Sapphire was too fast; she ducked it and scampered away.
To her surprise, two outlaws pinned Sapphire down, locking her up, but she raged angrily, rising up instantly and the two outlaws flew. Blisterz charged towards her. He knew that she was a strong girl. They need more muscle to get her down. But she slipped out of his way. Blisterz only succeed crashing into his outlaws, knocking them out. Sapphire howled with laughter and rushed off.
She spun around, the Clakkerz screaming from their windows. Sapphire's heart sunk when she saw two huge outlaws, covered in large metal spikes over their bodies. She clicked her Punisher, but before she could even aim, they swung for her, knocking her out cold.
She flew across the road, crashing into broken wood and her eyes slammed shut.
