Black is Option Less

No such thing as backing down.

Disgust.

That's what Imani felt as she looked down upon the blonde-headed girl. A girl who was so eager to senseless harm another out of some twisted self Indulgence. A girl whose spirit is played with ignorance, hate, and self-pity. A girl who would most likely spend the rest of her life living off the backs of others like a leech. Too spoiled to think she needs to do anything to get what she wants. Only ever doing things out of self-interest and nothing more.

Imani hated her.

This girl thought she was better than everyone else. That she was superior simply due to the money in her pocket and not only that, but she was something Imani hated more than anything.

A racist.

Perhaps not by choice, but Imani couldn't care less. The girl's spirit told her that Whether she was or not things wouldn't have changed. The only thing it did was add more hate into her heart.

Witch, in turn, made Imani's blood boil.

"Drop the knife."

The girl looked at her. Imani watched her expression turn from shock into an enraged sneer. Imani didn't need to look to know that the two other girls were busy surrounding her. She wasn't concerned. Just by the way, they stood Imani knew they had no chance against her.

"What if I don't?" The girl asked hotly. A small smirk formed on her face. It seems that she realized what her friends were doing. As such her earlier confidence returned.

"Then I'll kill you."

Silence.

Jade blinked in surprise at the girl's words. Of course, she heard people say it before, but the serious look on her face was enough to know that she wasn't kidding. There was a look in her eyes that Jade was familiar with. However, she couldn't exactly pinpoint why or what it meant. Regardless Jade was smart enough to realize that she was someone not to be messed with.

If only Piper shared the same idea.

Instead, the blonde snorted.

"Is that a threat?"

Imani didn't reply at first. Instead, she simply stared into the blonde's eyes. For her part, she stared right back.

"I don't make threats."

Piper paused. A second later her tongue clicked in recognition. "Ah, that's right your new here." With that in mind, the blonde smiled. This time it was a calm, welcoming smile. "Since you don't know who I am or who my parents are I'm more than willing to let this slide."

Said smile turned into a wince when Imani's hold on her wrist tightened.

"You have until the count of three.

Imani began counting.

"One."

"You're making a big mistake" Piper warned.

"Two."

The two girls surrounding her tensed. Meanwhile on the floor, Jade watched on with wide eyes. The young girl had a feeling that what was about to happen wasn't going to be pretty.

"Three."

The skinny girl lunged forward.

She was fast, but Imani was faster.

Piper gasped as a fist made contact with her stomach. The person responsible immediately took a step back in surprise.

Big mistake.

Twisting the blade out of Piper's grasp Imani threw her to the ground. Planting a fist into the other girl's stomach. Her opponent gasped fallen to her knees. Only to be met with a knee to the face. The force was enough to send the girl sprawling to the floor. However, Imani's victory was cut short when a hand yanked her back.
