Broken Desires

~Explinations~

I could feel energy enter my body, almost like I was inhaling it and my wounds didn't hurt anymore.
"You know I can't do that" He picked up his gun again.
"Well he's not going to let you stay here" I began to feel Dads rage. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way"
I held my dagger close to me as I stood up.
He rose his arm to aim his gun at me.
"Hard way? Fine by me" I told him, before throwing my dagger, spinning quickly to he couldn't catch it. It hit him and stuck itself into his shoulder, he hissed harshly before firing his gun. His bullet gashed into the edge of my torso onto my ribs, from the added energy and strength, I didn't feel it.
I walked over to Striker and pulled my dagger from his shoulder as he growled at me. I snatched his gun from him and held him to the wall with my tail.
"Are you going to leave?" I asked in that dangerous polite tone as I looked up at him.
He knew he wasn't going to beat me in a fight while I was here, when Dad was able to give me strength.
"I'll leave for now, but you will be hearing from me very soon" He warned.
I let him go and shoved him out the door. I heard the hooves getting more distant until I couldn't hear them anymore.

Im sure I recognised that horse from somewhere, couldn't remember where for the life of me.

Dad drained his energy away from me and I fell to the floor, weak. I held my ribs, where my new gash was and winced as I cleaned out the would and put another bandage on. If this Lizard carried on I'd be a mummy soon.
I went into the bedroom and got into a loose pair of joggers and a sports bra to sleep in, I sat in bed and smoked a cigarette before getting comfy. I was absolutely shattered so I drifted off to sleep quite fast.

Roughly a week later, it was time for the monthly inspections for the clubs. My leg was slowly getting better, I was quite a fast healer so in about a month it shouldn't hurt anymore. I had cleaned the blood off the bike and my clothes.
I got ready in my work clothes, black trousers, a white silk shirt and a black unbuttoned blazer with black and red làboutins. I pulled my helmet over my head and got onto my bike.

When I got to the first club I noticed a familiar steed.
"What the fuck is he doing here?" I mumbled to myself. I didn't know what to expect.
I walked into the club, but it was normal, everyone was dancing and day drinking, the girls were on the poles, etc. Business was booming. But what was Striker doing here? I walked over to the bar, Wally served me, he was the manager, he was good at most things, but he was very talkative. I ordered a still whiskey.
"How's everything here?" I asked, walking behind the bar to serve some more people, helping him out. "Where's the new guy?"
"It's all okay but the new guy keeps going out for cigarettes, even at the busiest times, it's very annoying, then I'm left with-"
"What else is he doing? Or is it just cigarette breaks?" I asked.
"Some of the girls seem uncomfortable around him, he's a bit wierd if you know what I mean" Wally explained.
"Will you be okay while I got sort him out?"
"Yeah, thank you" He responded.
"No worries, paydays tomorrow, you'll get £150 out of his wages, maybe more" I told him, leaving the bar after refilling my drink. "Send me a text if we're running low on anything"
He nodded.
I walked to the smoking area, lighting a cigarette. I couldn't believe what I saw. The new guy, Tomas, had one of my girls trapped in a corner attempting to touch her, which she obviously didn't want. I snuck behind him a dotted out my cigarette on the back of his neck, and shoved him to the floor.
"Are you okay dear?" I turned to the girl, giving her a cigarette. She was on of the dancers I had employed near enough s year ago now.
She nodded, timidly.
"Just because I'm the boss doesn't mean I'm not going to look out for you girls, I've been in your shoes before" I smiled at her "Anything like this happens again, even if it's a costumer, tell me or Wally, you've got a week off, full pay, you can go now if you want"
"Thank you Mama" She looked up at me. All the girls called me this because most of the time I'd be a better Mother figure than their actual ones.
"No worries honey" I hugged her and stroked her hair before she left.

I turned to the young but large Imp on the floor holding his neck. I kicked him hard in the ribs and yelled fiercely as we gained an audience.
"WHAT IN THE FUCK GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO TREAT MY GIRLS LIKE THAT" I saw red, I dragged him up by his hair. "You're a pathetic little insult to all Imps." I stared at him in the eye and his expression turned nervous.
"Aww little Tommy got caught did he?" I slammed my fist into his face, busting a lip and knocking out a tooth. "I dare you to walk into my club again" I snarled at him.
I let him from my gasp and he started to walk away.
"If I hear you've done this again, I'll come for you" I warned as he quickened up his pace.
I lit another cigarette, sipped my whiskey and took a seat.
"So this is your club?" Asked a familiar voice, sitting down opposite me.
"Look, I've forgotten your name, if you can't tell, I'm fairly busy today. It wouldn't fit my schedule to get assassinated" I sniggered to myself.
"You find this funny? That your Mother hired me to kill you" He raised an eyebrow.
"She's done worse. Why should I be surprised? Plus I have way more money than she ever will so I could bribe you, but I'm not going to because you're a good fight, the others are too easy" I explained.
He was stunned, I'm guessing he'd never had this reaction before.
"She's done worse?" He questioned.
"Yeah, you won't know him but my dad had a farm of his own before buying out our cabin. He bread horses, he sold your father your horse. I remember because my Mother was raging about it for ages." I explained.
His jaw dropped "Why was she so mad?"
"Because as you can tell, neither my mother or dad is a reptile, like us, that's because she's not my biological mum, my dads ex-girlfriend didn't tell him she was pregnant until he was with Krystal. So she thought he had cheated. I only learnt this in recent years, ever since then she's hated our kind. That's probably why she hired you specifically, so I can be murdered by my own kind." I explained again.
"Wow, that's tough, what happened to him?" He asked, nervously.
"She murdered him when I was 12. And now that my sisters want to spend time with me, a reptile, she wants me dead too"
