THE RETRIBUTION (The Enigma of Kenzie Williams)

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

I opened my eyes and saw Stacy sitting next to me. I felt a sharp pain in my head as I tried to sit up.

"Damn! My head hurts."

"Sorry, hon."

"Where were you last night?" I said opening my eyes wider.

"I went to pick Blake up from the airport. I'm so sorry. Hope he didn't hurt you?"

"He didn't."

"Praise the lord. Guess what?"

"I'm not in the mood," I said

"Just guess."

"Blake got you a new car?" I said not even trying.

"Wrong. That not even a surprise." She said and rolled her eyes. "Well, Blake is coming to visit."

"Nice," I said as my countenance hardened.

"You don't look happy."

"It's just that Jake likes Blake and....."

"Shhh." She said and hugged me.

The doorbell rang and I ran to open it. My frown turned upside down and screamed
"Blake!"

"How are ya Kenz?" He said and held me.
He drew me closer and started to breathe down my neck. I drew back and looked at his face.

"I'm fine."

"Where's Stacy?"

"Stacy" I called "Blake is here to see you."

Almost immediately, Stacy ran out and walked over to him. She grabbed his neck and started to kiss him.

"Baby, I missed you so much." She said when she was done.

"Missed you too sugar."

My mum came out with three pieces of paper in her hand.

"Stacy I need you to... oh hi Blake." She said and waved at Blake.

"Hi, aunt."

"Stacy," she said and faced Stacy "I need you to pick up these things from the supermarket. I have to go to the hair salon."

Stacy grabbed the paper and started to list:

"Ten cans of cardamom, four sachets of turmeric, seven tubes of toothpaste, three bottles of ketchup, six bottles of lemonade, four aerosol cans of hairspray, two multipacks of yogurt, seven rolls of tissue paper, two tubs of ice cream, and ten tubs of margarine." She raised her face and said.

"Promise me I'll spend time with Blake when I get back?"

"I promise."

"Okay. Kenz takes care of Blake. I'll be back."

They both walked out and the door closed shut.

I flung the towel off my body immediately after I came out of the bathroom.

I walked towards the hangar to pick up my pajamas when I saw a quick movement beneath my door.

It was followed by a shadow and a poof! It was gone. I shook it off and wore the pajamas to my waist level.

Then, the shadow appeared again. I summoned courage and walked to the door to check who I was. I opened the door and Blake jumped.

"What the hell Blake?" I shrieked, covering my chest with the loose end of the pajamas.

"Calm down." He said smiling.

"What do you mean 'calm down?"

"Kenz, it's fine. I just want to talk."

"You could have just knocked."

"Fine, I'm sorry. Get dressed and let's talk."

I pulled the pajamas up and put my hands into the sleeve. I sat down on the bed where he was sitting and faced him.

"What do you want to talk about?" I asked.

"Mine and Stacy's relationship."

"What about it?"

"Don't you think Stacy acts....weird?"

"I don't get it."

"She looks and acts abnormal like, all she cares about is my money."

"Well, she's not abnormal. She has been for self by circumstances to act like that."

"What circumstances?"

"None of your business."

"But, what do you think....."

"I think you're an ungrateful person who doesn't value a jewel-like Stacy. I think Stacy is the coolest girl I've ever seen."

"I think you're the coolest girl I've ever seen."

I wrinkled my face in disguise and moved back a little. Before you could say, Jack, he had started kissing me.

I almost let myself melt against him when I caught myself and slapped him on the face.

I got up and ran to the door. I kept pulling the handle but, the door was locked.

Then I felt a hand circle around my waist and fell back unto the bed. He climbed on top of me and I heard a ripping sound.

My pajamas had gone down my ankle so, I was lying down in my underwear with Blake on top of me. I started to scream but, I saw it didn't help. I tried to reach for the vase but, I couldn't.

Think Kenzie think. I quickly thought of something. I bit into his ear and refused to let it go till I had ripped it off.

He screamed and fell off me. I sat up with his ear still in my teeth. I spat the ear out and stood up slowly. I whimpered as I saw him writhing on the floor.

"What's going on here?" I heard someone say.

I turned and saw Stacy standing in the doorway.
