Surviving the Darkness

Chapter 7

When I return to the table with their beverages they don't spare me a glance, already deep in conversation I was clearly insignificant.

I gently laid the mugs in front of each of them, eyes down, ears listening to try and get a hint of what the infamous gang leaders were discussing.

"The lone wolf has become a menace in the shadows, we must do SOMETHING! One of my guys found yet another dead body last night with that damn B smeared on their forehead. Allowing them to continue makes us look weak and I won't have it" the leader of the Serpents couldn't have spoke with more passion. I ensured I regulated my breathing as I realised they were discussing my alter ego, my true self.

"I'd advise calming yourself friend, how can we stop someone who's never seen" the leader of the Aces spoke with calmness, "for all we know the lone wolf could be a woman in which case we have been looking in all the wrong places"

"A WOMAN?!? You do make me laugh! No woman can do the damage that we have witnessed. If it was a woman she would have more blood on her hands than any of us could comprehend! No, women are weak that's why none of us have our queens yet, because no woman is worthy" the Serpent couldn't control his disbelief at the Aces words. But this triggered something in me, I don't know what and I certainly don't know why. All I know is that in that moment I was sick and tired of being treated like trash for not having a dick. I was sick and tired of hiding in the shadows. For once I wanted to be gazed at with fear. I wanted these pitiful men to go crying to their mothers in fear!

Taking a breath I grabbed a seat from the table next to us, turned it so it was backwards and sat down. Leaning my arms on the backrest I peered forward at the men with a smirk on my face.

"Now now boys surely your mothers raised you to be more respectful than that"
