Antagonists [Book Version]

Chapter 6: Things Get Heated.

[Narrator]

Blood covered both Wheel and Tumbler. Tumbler was shaking, horrified at what she had watched unfold, while Wheel was busy spitting out part of an arm.

[Wheel]

I need to be more professional about the best moment of my life. I decided to wipe off all the blood and Cheese Cracker remains off my face. I decided to make Tumbler feel even worse about herself before I end her pathetic life. "Let's talk about how ignorant you are, shall we? Like how I was pronounced dead for two years, and you didn't bat a single eye. Or how you're the reason I have to walk around with a cane! Don't forget about how your underaged drinking led to me getting burned. The marks are still here today..." I say in a blunt tone. She was getting really upset, which I found amusing. Schadenfreude filled the room, my joy radiating by the second. "Then mommy bailed you out of jail with daddy's money for committing arson! She would've kept you in jail if it wasn't for the heart-wrenching feeling of her little girl in jail!" I add, babying her in my tone. "Don't bring my parents into this!" She screams. I'm glad I touched a nerve there. It was satisfying to see her angry, and see her act like she didn't deserve it. "Oh well. I guess you'll still be set ablaze." I say, more calm than I should've. I take my lit cigarette and throw it on the ground, dumping gasoline all over it. If that wasn't enough, I lit a match and threw it on top, then booked it as fast as me and my cane could go out the building, then locking the door. Her painful screams made me determined to make it out alive. It was glorious watching that building crumble and burn, knowing that everyone in there was dead. I thought I had made it out, until multiple fire trucks and police officers pulled up to the scene. I could only swear under my breath in hopes that things wouldn't be too bad.
