Book of thorns

ORANGE

It's been a week since I shot Mr. sane and with all do respect I'm not ashamed.
Brax was holding a big dinner for everyone here.
I just found out that he had cooks when I asked 'where he learned to cook' his only response was "I don't know how to cook I have cooks to cook for me.".

He told me to wear something nice looking so I guess I have to wear a dress. I'm not sure.
He's final decided to let me leave my room whenever I wanted, I'm just not allowed out of this hallway without permission.
I walk down the hall and walk into braxes room and I saw him wearing a black tuxedo. "Wow so I'm guessing I gotta dress nice nice?" He looked pretty damn good in that tux, better than he did when we were kids.
"Yes you do del." I sighed and walked back to my room to look for a nice dress.
This red one will do I believe, this one was a blood red and was pretty short went down to just above the knee.
"That dress might just work tonight." I turned around and saw brax standing there.
"Why's that?"
"We got some men from out of our place coming to make a few deals. So we might just all end up covered in blood." He laughed and I laughed a bit too.
"Anyways let go ahead and get down to the Dining hall." We got halfway down to the Dining hall and I could here the loud noise of people talking.
"There's a lot of people here okay? Stick around me. And no drinking your too young." I rolled my eyes and laughed as we walked into the room.
"Mr.Knox." A cheerful old man walked up to brax with his hand out to shake.
"Hello Mr. talon, how are you?" Brax greeted talon.
"Well I must say I'm doing quite well for my age, and who is this fine young lady?" Talon asked. "This is my little sister della, della meet Mr. talon." Talon started chocking "sister? You mean the one that you left so she could stay safe?". His eyes were wide and he looked confused.
"Yes I am the one that he left, nice to meet you too Mr.talon." I smiled and walked off leaving him and brax to talk.
Soon I was up in the front with brax as he talked, I wasn't paying attention to anything that he said.
"I have gathered you all here to tell you some rather exciting news. I am sure you all know Mr. sane, he was a rather annoying and cheating man. The good news is, is that he was shot yesterday evening by my little sister della." There were multiple gasp coming from around the room then followed clapping.
"Why are they so happy?" I whispered to brax. "Sane has cheated every one of these men out of their money and no one had the guts to kill him."
Wait so I killed a man that they were scared to kill? That's fucking awesome. I smiled at the thought of me killing a man other men were scared to kill.
"And I would like to say this also, with great respect once I die rather it be soon or far I am leaving my business to della Knox." I can't believe he's doing that.
With that being said he stepped down and went the table with me following behind him.

"So della how did you kill Mr.sane?" A man asked and all the other men shook their heads wanting to know.
"He aimed a gun at me and I Aimed mine at him, he shot and I shot. I was lucky enough for it to hit him and me not get hit." I smiled at all the men and they looked surprised. "I must say del, you've changed so so much. When I left you, you didn't know how to shoot a gun or even hurt someone." I hugged him and he hugged me back.
"It was just fear that's all. She couldn't do it again if she tried." Matt looked mad and I think he might just be jealous.
"Wanna bet?" I asked with a rude tone. "Yeah let's bet, shoot me. If you shoot me then I'll give you a hundred bucks. If you don't then you owe me a good fuck." My mouth dropped. "Alright bet give me your gun." All the men stared at me and Matt as he handed me his gun.
"Do it." I think he thought I wouldn't do it but I pulled the trigger and shot him in the arm and He screamed out in pain.
"Well looks like I'm not gonna be fucking anyone anytime soon." I smirked and walked over to Matt as he stood there with his hand over his wound.
"Pay up." I held my hand out waiting for him to give me the hundred bucks. The men laughed, "better pay up soon Matt or she'll shoot ya again." Brax laughed.
From the first day I arrived here to now I've learned that I play one hell of a dangerous game.
