THE RETRIBUTION (The Enigma of Kenzie Williams)

CHAPTER TWELVE

   I woke up suddenly as the light shone on me.

I opened my eyes and saw that the curtains had parted.

I wiped the eye gunk out of my eye and stood up. I walked to the windows and closed the curtains. I was walking back when I heard someone say;

"What are you doing?"

I shrieked and jumped before realizing that it was Stacy.

"I am trying to go back to sleep."

"No, no you're going to get up, go take your bath and wear good clothes we're going out."
"I don't feel like it," I said and folded myself on the bed.

"Did I ask you what you felt like?" She said and when she noticed tears welling up in my eyes, she added. "Okay I know I came on strong but, you don't have to keep yourself isolated because of one break-up."

"You don't get it," I said tossing her to the pillow.

"You think I don't?" Of course, I do. You're not the only one who has had a breakup." She said catching it.

"At least your boyfriend adores you. He treats you like a queen and you do the breaking up."

"Hmm, sweet Kenzie." You're right, I do the breaking up but, something or someone prompted me to be this mean."

"Who?"

"My first boyfriend."

"Your first boyfriend? How many boyfriends have you had?"

"Ken, Joshua, Benson, Oliver, Riley." She said counting her fingers. "Bernard, John......

"It's enough," I said, cutting her off before she could continue. "So what did he do?"

"Who?"

"Your boyfriend, you dummy."
"Oh, yeah. He cheated on me with my best friend.

When I caught them, I got angry and started to hit her. When he saw I didn't stop, he drew me closer to himself and started to hit me on the face.

I held on to his shirt and refused to let go. He drew out a knife from his back pocket and stabbed me twice in my arm.

I still refused to let go then, he placed the knife on my open chest and drew a long mark along my chest.

I still have the scar right here." She said and opened her cardigan. I saw a long, red mark running from the corner of her breast to her neck. She closed it and I said;

"Then, what happened?"

"I still clung to him not minding the blood. I saw I had no weapon with me and then I dug my teeth into his neck.

He screamed as each muscle and vein on that part of his neck ripped open.

I kept biting and didn't stop till I tasted blood. Then I spat his goddamned flesh out of my mouth.

All of a sudden, I felt something hard hit my head and the last thing I remember was my friend holding a blood-stained paper mill. Then I passed out."

"You know what?"

"No." She said looking at me.

"Let's go out and have fun."

She smiled and pushed her hair backward.
