Nothing's Fair In Love And War

Chapter One; At Hells Gates

Chapter One; At Hells Gates

When one thinks about what means the most to them, ones initial instinct is to answer those that are close to them, those who share the load off your shoulder and can heal anything with a warm hand that reaches the heart.

If one were to ask me, I would state it how it is, without any false pretense or sugarcoating. The answer is simple...Me. I am the most important thing to myself. I am the only one whom I can truly trust and depend on to get me through the smoke and fire that is this cruel and unwanting world.

Some may call me selfish, but do you think I give a rats ass what other people think? Fuck no! Growing up I have grown a thick skin, I have learnt to fend for myself by any means for survival. You hear people crapping on to others about how something is so unfair, well here's some news for you, LIFE'S NOT FAIR!

But if you want to believe in all that fairytale shit then by all means do, I'm not stopping you, just don't try and push that shit onto me or I will break your nose. 

No, I am not one of those girls that sit on her ass all day, painting her nails and waiting for Prince Charming to come and sweep them off their feet. I am a realist, if you want something done then you have to do it yourself.

Like I said before, I will do anything to ensure my own survival and I will fight anyone who tries to get in my way....

The smell of donuts and coffee filled the air as I sat in my seat, my fingers playing with the torn pieces of leather. I look out my window and watch as house after house flies by in a single blur, it's kind of making me dizzy so I turn my attention back to the tattered leather seat I sat on.

"Want a donut?" Officer Daniels asks as he shoves a cinnamon donut in my face.

I smack his arm out of the way, causing him to drop the donut somewhere on the floor, and if he was smart he would just leave it there, God only knows what germs are on the floor of this car. "Dammit" I heard him cuss under his breath, causing me to smirk at him.

He looks at me not amused by my little stunt. "I can't wait to hand you over to the OC department, then I won't have to put up with your childish stunts anymore" Officer Daniels grunted as he turned around and sat properly in his seat.

"I don't know, it's going to be weirdly quiet without this one around" Officer Thomas chuckled as he turned the steering wheel to go around a corner.

I just roll my eyes. Officer Thomas is such a pig, he is forever hitting on me and making disgusting comments whenever I am in handcuffs; but I guess that's cops for you. I turn my attention back to the window and watch as the blurs of houses become bigger and bigger and bigger, until you couldn't even call them houses anymore, but mansions. 

I really don't see the point of having such a big house, but whatever, it's their money going to waste. I sigh and slump further into my seat. I already know I am going to hate it here. Also I am starting to get a bit of cabin fever being locked in this God damn car. The seat has hardly any padding left and my ass is aching from sitting on it.

It doesn't help that I have Dumb and Dumber trying to talk to me every two seconds. I have been stuck in this car for four hours and am about to shove that donut in Officer Daniels hand down his throat and smash Officer Thomas head onto the dashboard if I don't get out soon.

"Here we are, your new home" Officer Thomas voice interrupted my thought of how I would murder him and his partner.

They both step out of the car and Officer Thomas opens my door and roughly grabs the front of my hooded jumper and pulls me out of the car. I am used to this so I don't fall over or even stumble as my feet touch the bright green grass that smells freshly mowed.
